Changes in web.config on all web sites

Hello.
I have a strange problem.
last month we made some changes in the web.config file for some of our web sites do to a problem.
the problem was when user try to open a office file ( word,excel,ppt ) in a read write mode in internet explorer 11 or in office 2013.
and the fix was: specifying custom HTTP response headers like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
 <system.webServer>
 <httpProtocol>
 <customHeaders>
 <clear />
 <add name="X-UA-Compatible"
value="IE=EmulateIE7" />
 </customHeaders>
 </httpProtocol>
 </system.webServer>
</configuration>
after applying this lines in the web.config the problem was solved.
today a customer complained about the same problem that we fix in the changes we have made.
after check the web.config on those sites we have notice that the changes was
disappear ( like magic ).
I have checked all of our websites in the same farm and i notice that all of the web.config files was modified in the same date and time, its happend on
28/11/2013 :00:00 midnight.
I have tried to view the sharepoint log files from this date, but i do not have them (
Number of days to store log files 14 ).
what could be the reason for this automatic changes in the web.config?

Could their have been updates pending that were just waiting for a restart of the web server? Can you check to see if your server did a reboot at that time?
or
In Central Admin, are there any timer jobs that execute maybe monthly at midnight?

How can I do to change the web site when I open a new tab.

Dear Friends...
I cant find information, how to changes the web site when I open a second tab. Example: when I open Firefox my home page is google and that is perfect but when I open a second tab, why appears yahoo as home page? I want to changes that and I cant find how to do it . Thanks

The normal behavior is to open a blank tab, an add-on will be causing it to display Yahoo. One add-on that does this is the freeze net assistant, if you have that one you can uninstall it and it should revert to opening a blank tab.
There are add-ons that let you specify what should open in a new tab, such as:
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

Font Changing on Web Site

I created a website using a font called Litterbox. Everything looks great when I visit the web site on my laptop, but when viewing it on my friend's computer the font was completely different. Is there a way that I can prevent this from happening?

The reason your font is not showing on your friends computer is not because of internet explorer. It is because that person does not have that exact same font on their computer. The only way to solve this for iweb is to add a shadow effect to the text you wish to use.
- Select the text (not the text box) that you want that is not "websafe"
- Go to inspector -> graphic tab and check the shadow box
- Then on that same plane, change the opacity to 1%
- Save and publish
Pros: The font you see is what every viewer will see no matter the OS or browser
Cons: The text is now converted into an image and is no longer selectable by the viewer and is not readable by search engine spiders. This part only matters if you're worried about SEO. If SEO is something that matters to you then use iWeb SEOTools (Free) and add meta tags to that now texted image.
Remember only shadow the text and not the textbox and make sure the opacity is set to 1%.... unless you want shadow to be seen then set it up to 99%... For some reason on my end, setting it to either 0 or 100 does not work. So keep it between 1 and 99.

How to make change in Issue list across all project sites?

Hi,
We all have issue list in our project sites. We need to add some values to some of the columns in that issue list. The requirement is we need these changes to reflect in all the new sites. Also how to make these changes reflect in current existing sites.
Can anybody suggest a way to achieve this. One thing that i am aware of is creating a new project site template and associating it with EPT but that still not solves the issue for preexisting sites.
Please help asap.
Thanks in advance.

Hi SpWrk
If you have already created some sites. You would need to apply these changes either Programetically (Powershell or C#) or Manually.
However, you can take the following approach to avoid this problem in future. (i.e. Your "future" changes will appear in existing sites too). I am writing the procedure breifly but let me know if you need more details on this
1) Create a content type (e.g. "Project issues" at PWA level)
2) Associate this content type with the Issues List in your site template as well any existing project sites. Make it a default content type for Issue lists. save your site template
3) Create all your custom columns in this new Content type (changing OOB issue columns can break your reporting)
4) Your changes to content type should reflect in future sites as well as existing sites (whereever the content type was appiled)

Distribution Point IIS Config - Multiple applications using Default Web Site

Hi all,
I've having some problems with a distribution point, when trying to download content I'm getting the following error in the datatransferservices.log:
Error sending DAV request. HTTP code 500, status 'Internal Server Error'
Looking at IIS, I can see that another application (uniflow print server) has published folders under the Default Web Site.
Reading
similar errors it appears it may be to do with ISAPI filters being configured by the other application. Unfortunately these filters are required by the Uniflow application. So, my question is:
Is there any way to change the web site used by the distribution point?
Thanks,
Iain

Not on a one off basis, no. The web sites are tied to ports which means you would also have to change the port. Both are global changes. The better solution is to not multi-purpose a DP.

On desktop almost all icons are Mozilla icons. How do i change them to the icons of the web sites?

When i place web sites on my desk top, very few of them keep the original web site icon. They change to the Mozilla icon, the globe with the fox wrapped around it.
How do i change these back to the web site icons?

You can't and that is very wasteful of resources, good thing computer now have a lot more storage and memory. That used to be something that slowed down system startup.
I just have applications in the Start, desktop, and quick launch.

Suggest you make them keyworded bookmark shortcuts then you can call them up from Firefox with a name you assign yourself typically 1-7 characters, could be all initials in some cases, words, or anything.
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm
I keep most of my keyword shortcuts in one folder "K" on my bookmarks toolbar, and the keyword is at the beginning of the title and sorted on the title so they are sorted on the keyword. The current folder actually has a distribution date on it so it isn't as short a name as I had intended. The "AwesomeBar" feature helps me to remember one if I forget it.

Activate plugins for all users on a web-site

Hello,
Is there a way to activate or whitelist plugins for a specific web-site, for all users on a Windows computer? Each time a user logs in and visits the site, they have to click three prompts to enable content. Aside from being annoying, most folks aren't that tech-savvy to understand what is going on and that they need to do it. All they want is for their content to run in the browser.
Thanks

There are plugin.state prefs for each plugin.
*plugin.state (0:Never Activate; 1:Ask to Activate; 2:Always Activate)
You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

When streaming video from a web site my audio is attenuated differently with different users on the same computer. withe either user, the sound is very muffled. all the volumes are set to maximum.

How can I adjust the safari sound volume other than the usual settings in the system preferences?
I am using an apple mac air, updated with OS X Yosemite. Looking at the same web site video from two different users accounts on the same computer, the sound is drastically attenuated on one user account relative to the other.
Sound settings in system preferences are maxed out.

It seems that the difference between the sites that will open and the one that won't is the Default Authentication provider is set to NTLM on those that open, and Negotiate (Kerberos) on the one that won't. The Authentication Provider for the Default zone
is Claims Based Authentication on all the sites, just site B (which won't open) is set to Negotiate (Kerberos), the others are set to NTLM.
Short term: can I change the provider to NTLM without destroying the site?
Long term: point me in the direction for setting up Kerberos correctly on my server/farm, as from what I can tell Kerberos is the recommended path forward. I'll setup a non-production test site and get it figured out.
Thanks much.

When I try to same an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

I use a web site called ACRIS- up until yesterday I could access all parts of the site, including calling up images of deeds. Now I can no longer get the images via firefox, but can them via windows explorer. Why? How do I fix this?

I use a web site called ACRIS- it allows me to access NYC Finance dept records- specifically images of deeds. Up until yesterday I had no problem. Then without any apparent reason I could access all parts of the site, but could not access the deed images. First I thought it was a problem on their end, which sometimes happens, but after waiting 24 hours I was still having the problem. Then I tried windows explorer and it worked without any problem. How do I fix this?

Hi jeffbeal,
First question I would ask is what has changed recently? Did you add any new extensions or add-ons?
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
Hopefully this helps!

How to rename content type on web site level and underneath all the document libraries using powershell?

Hello
I wantto rename content type on web site level and underneath all the document libraries using powershell, please let me know how can do this?
I saw this url
http://suryapulipati.blogspot.in/2011/08/rename-content-type-name-in-list-using.html, but I want to change everything from Web Site, subsite and underneath document libraries. Because if you try to change on any on document library, it will be applicable
for that document library, if you change on web level then underneath document libraries content type names not updated automatically.
Please advise

Not sure with powershell.

Firefox much slower connecting to all web sites than Internet Explorer. Why?

Over the last few weeks, Firefox has become much slower connecting to virtually all web sites that I frequent than does Internet Explorer. Nothing has changed on my computer other than occasional downloads of Firefox "improvements".

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

The charsetalias.properties file is gone in Firefox 4? Most web sites in Hong Kong use the Big5-HKSCS charset but declare the charset as Big5. Without charsetalias.properties, the encoding needs to be manually changed very often when viewing them.

I have been defining Big5 as an alias of Big5-HKSCS in charsetalias.properties. This makes Firefox renders pages declared as "Big5" to be rendered in Big5-HKSCS instead. Big5-HKSCS is a standard published by the Hong Kong government because the Big5 charset does not contain many common Chinese characters used in Hong Kong. However, Big5-HKSCS is just an extension of Big5, so most (if not all) Chinese web sites in Hong Kong using Big5-HKSCS declare their pages to be in Big5 in the <meta> tag.
I am now trying out Firefox 4 RC and found that the charsetalias.properties file is no longer there. So in order to read pages containing characters that are in Big5-HKSCS but not in Big5, I need to switch the encoding manually. This is extremely inconvenient. Can you consider bringing charsetalias.properties back?
[http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.i18n/browse_thread/thread/415caa98a6246a00 Someone noticed this issue as well.]

Here's the script I was working on.
It determines the encoding of the site by checking a couple of different ways the meta tag can supply encodings. One way is to have a charset attribute on a meta tag, and the other way is to have a meta tag with http-equiv="content-type" and have charset= be part of the content attribute.
(note: I think [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/document.characterSet document.characterSet()] might be a far more reliable way to detect encoding since it doesn't depend on the specific way the meta tag was written. But I haven't tested it.)
Debugging messages showed that it could detect the specified encodings fine on the few test pages I was trying it on. The problem is in the way I change the encoding.
It currently uses .setAttribute to attempt to modify the meta tags once it finds the encodings. Unfortunately, this doesn't change the selected encoding in Firefox. It doesn't affect the page source, either.
I have to replace those setAttribute calls with something that will actually affect the selected encoding in Firefox.... but I'm not sure what would accomplish that.
http://pastebin.com/Yt7fygXe
Just a little warning, it's case- and whitespace-sensitive because I didn't get around to using regular expressions yet. So if a page says charset="BIG5", you'll probably need to make it uppercase in the script as well. Sorry, I'm lazy!
Nonetheless, I ''hope'' this is a start...
