Cross Site Publishing and Variations: how to manage assets?

We have a Cross-Site Publishing scenario:
- an Authoring site collection with variations enabled, in order to manage content in English and Italian
- two Publishing site collections
- an Intranet Site Collection
Intranet and Web site are feeded from Authoring site collections.
We have some assets (Video and Photos) with their own metadata (title, description, ...) that we need to localize in each Language.
We followed TechNet best practices: we saved these assets in a separate site collection with Anonymous access enabled.
Where do we have to compile metadata?
In a list in the Authoring site collection where we build an entry for each digital asset we want to describe (of course, a list in each variation site)? Or is it better to associate metadata in the Asset Library (in this case how we manage translations)?

Did you find a solution for this issue? I have the same problem. Thank you very much

How to use Cross-Site Publishing to publish content on Internet public site?

Hi All,
I have already build a site designed for anonymous access from Internet. Because the requirements were to enable SEO friendly URLs I have to enable Managed Navigation. This feature is not compatible with Content Deployment. So, I cannot deploy content from
staging server to production anymore. I am looking at Cross-Site Publishing option but I could not find a way how I can publish Master Pages an Layouts to Publishing site. Also all pages were created in Pages document library. I do not want to rebuild a site
from scratch.
Is there any way to publish exist site build in classical SharePoint way Master Page-Layout Page-Publishing Page to Publishing site using Cross-Site Publishing feature?
Oleg

Hi Oleg,
What do you want to do with the master pages and publishing pages after publishing them to the publishing site?
Cross-site publishing is used to show the content from authoring site collection to publishing site collections.
If you want to show the master pages or publishing pages in publishing site collections, you can use cross-site publishing feature to achieve this goal.

How to configure CSWP on Category page to show the Published Catalog-item page on Publishing site in a Cross Site Publishing scenario?

I have created a Cross Site Publishing Environment in SharePoint Online. After connected
to my catalog. 2 pages automatically created. But in "Category" page, if i click on an item it will bring me to the original path/item located in Authoring site. How to configure Content Search Web Part on Category page to show the Published Catalog-item
page on Publishing site?
Can we do this by changing the property mappings?

Hi,
According to my understanding, you want users to be redirected to pages in the current site instead of the source page of the search results in a Content Search Web
Part.
By default, the hyperlinks of the search results in a Content Search Web Part will point to the source page where the data comes from, when the hyperlink of each result
is clicked, user will be redirected to the corresponding source page.
If the data comes from other sites, what page do you want to display when user clicks a search result in the Content Search Web Part?
Property Mappings can help to control the content of each part of a display template, however, there seems no such property in the search result can help to redirect
to the pages of the current site, thus, it might not be able to meet your requirement.

SP2013 Unable to get Cross Site Publishing working

Hi folks,
I am wondering if anyone has a set of instructions for implementing Cross Site publishing in SharePoint 2013
that actually work and are up-to-date.
I'm trying to implement CSP using a simple document library in a product catalog site collection to a publishing site. Created a term set, enabled the library under catalog settings for anonymous, uploaded content, full crawled the library, connected
to the catalog from the publishing site, updated the navigation properties on the publishing site - When I test clicking on the navigation link gives a 'The page you are looking for doesn't exist' so it appears not to be creating the appropriate page.
I've examined a dozen different sets of instructions that are either incomplete or just wouldn't work to see if I am missing a step but cannot identify why I don't see the page with a list of document.
One [potential] issue that I have noticed is that the term I am using has a 'memberof' field. However some times the permissions get correctly updated and sometimes they do not - there appears no way to update or remove values here.
Regards
Andy
Update: I've managed to get a little further (by chance) - after waiting a little longer, I now get the catalogue page displayed, however, there is a warning 'Checked out to you'. I cannot find any documentation around why this
occurs and how to prevent it.
Also, if I click the link of the document, it does not open the document but instead displays the fields from the document properties (name, version, date etc.).

At the moment the best I can get to happen is a list of documents (with large grey boxes above the names) to appear when the navigation link (the term) is selected on the publishing site. Clicking on the links results in a 'page not found' error.
The URL that is generated when I hover the mouse over the document name on the publishing site is in the format of http:server/sites/sitename/term-name/documentname/term-name/15/1.0 I am not sure how that would resolve aback to any
document.
The first reference to term-name appears to be the value in the term-driven-pages tab, Friendly URL for term field out of the term store on the publishing site.
The second reference to term-name appears to be the value in the Navigation tab for the same term.
Edit: I am finally able to open a document successfully. I had to make a couple of changes, the first was to remove the catalog connection and re-create it. The Catalog Item URL Behaviour needed to be set to 'Make URLS point to source
catalog', the second was as above - to edit the content search webpart on the category-xyz page so that it was set to OriginalPath (and remember to check in and publish the page).
Whenever the catalog connection is modified one needs to re-crawl the server - I found that continuous crawl often didn't seem to pick up changes, so for testing I used a full manual crawl.
Also, when re-creating the catalog connection an error about duplicate terms can be ignored (it still creates the catalog connection), but you have to run a full search crawl afterwards.
Now that I know it works, I need to re-do everything from scratch to ensure that it can be replicated. If I get time, I will post up some instructions with all of the issues I encountered listed.

MySite as a Publishing Site Collection (for Cross Site Publishing)

Hello,
is it possible to connect the MySite in SharePoint with an Product Catalog? I have an Authoring Site Collection and a MySite Collection. In the MySite i have allready activated the Publishing Feature and then connected my Catalog from the Authoring Site.
After that i've made a Navigation from the Term Store Management Tool.
The Problem is, that i cant see any changes an no Navigation at the MySite.
Is it somehow possible to get it working?
Thanks

Hi Arnold,
As MySite use My Site Host site template in SharePoint, so the master page is different and MySite use custom master page for rendering the navigation.
If you want to use Managed Navigation for MySite, then you need to create a custom master page for rendering the terms in navigation.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look:

Confirm site use and deletion - How does it work?

I've been trying to find answers to this topic and read through a number of posts and technet, but I can't seem to get a clear answer on how this process works. Actually my concern is that I have seen conflicting answers.
As I read the description, it "sounds" like that if we set a date of 180 days, then the system will send an email to the site owner 180 days after site creation so they can confirm usage. If they confirm, then the clock starts again and they
will get another email in 180 days. If they don't confirm, then we go into the config for multiple emails and eventual deletion.
Is that how it really works? I would have thought it would track inactivity someway, but I can't seem to find it that is true. Does it track inactivity? If so, how? By last content update or last visit?

Run a test in a dev enviroment and you will find that they are wrong, unless it changed for 2013. I haven't specifically verified it lately, but it definitely didn't work that way in 2007 or 2010. Also check this sentence from the "Plan for site
maintenance and management in SharePoint 2013" article on 2013 found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262509.aspx#section3
"This feature works by automatically sending an e-mail message to site owners to see if they consider their site active. "
Notice that it doesn't say anything about sending it only to "Inactive" site owners. The way I read this is that it goes to ALL site
owners. That's the way it worked in the past and I don't think its been upgraded.

You will need custom code for this, but since the amount is minimal and this is Stack Overflow I assume that won't be a problem. You will want to make your own listview web part that queries the list using ListViewByQuery. An example can be found here:

How to manage the iPod shuffle manually

I have an I Pod Classic which I registered on the Dell and it is managed through i Tunes which holds my 'library' of songs . I recently bought an IPod shuffle and registered it on the same machine. I missed the opportunity to manage it manually and it loaded the shuffle with a selection of the current library [ it could not load all the songs as it obviously does not have the capacity.]
I want to know how to view what is on the Shuffle and how to edit it manually.The manual I have downloaded , page 17 , gives advice such as :
"In iTunes select iPod shuffle in the list of devices and then click the summary tab. In the Options select 'Manually manage music.'
When in I Tunes I cannot find the list of devices and therefore have no access to the Shuffle libary or how to change it.
Please offer help.

*What I cannot work out is how to bring up what is already on the Shuffle*
Click on the iPod icon in the source list, this will bring up tabs in the right hand pane that will let you view the content of the iPod and choose how to manage and add music to it. You can read more here: Syncing Music to iPod shuffle
3rd Gen shuffle, like real iPods, now has Music, Audiobooks, Podcasts and
playlists shown under it the left hand pane. ALL the content shows in the
the right side pane when Music is clicked... This is a bit different
from the Contents tab that performed the same function for previous shuffles.

Cross Site collections navigation with publishing feature enabled into sharepoint 2010??

Hi,
Is it possible to cross site collection navigation in share point 2010 with publishing feature enabled? Right now we have a site collection with all the departmental sites within it. We are trying to create separate site collection with separate content
database for each department for better management. But problem with Global navigation as OOB does not provide cross site collection navigation functionality, So looking for multiple site collections or navigation for more than one site collection under single
umbrella. i was able to get the cross site collection navigation in my development env without publishing feature enabled using below link. But problem with production environment, as all the site collections and sites are publishing feature enabled. how i
am gonna do cross site navigation with publishing feature enabled?
http://www.itsolutionbraindumps.com/2011/10/sharepoint-2010-cross-site-collection.html
Any link or suggest will be greatly appreciated !

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create cross site collections navigation with publishing feature enabled in SharePoint 2010.
Publishing sites (sites with publishing infrastructure) have their own navigation API, and it is much more complicated task to preserve cross-publishing sites navigation.
We need to implement our own custom navigation provider.
Please refer to the link below about the cross site collections navigation with publishing feature enabled:

How to manage two sites from iWeb

Hi all
I've built two different sites with iWeb, my personal site which goes to my .mac server and publishes there, no problem. I now have built another site for my girlfiends family business, and theirs will go to a differente host and server.
The problem I have is that I have both sites now open, each with their own individual pages, etc (they both appear on the left column as headers), but I can't seem to isolate them for publishing purposes. In other words, I'd like to publish my site to .mac, and my girlfriends site to my hard drive for eventual upload to their server.
When I go to publish, whether I select .mac or my hard drive (publish to another folder) it selects both sites at the same time, I.e. I can't publich them individually.
The problem is that I end up with a copy of my personal webpage files on my hard drive, and a copy of their webpage files on my .mac!
A further problem I see is that this publishing process creates just one index.html file, for both pages. So how can I use this html file to point it to their domain??
Appreciate the help, thanks
J

J:
To add another method to the mix here's how I manage multiple sites. Although they all go to my .Mac account this method can let me post any of them to any other server as I see fit.
One way to handle multiple sites is to use iWebSites. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files. If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want to where I want.

How to manage one wsp and dll for multiple clients in farm environment

1. There is a product which is developed using C sharp , jquery,CSS and sharepoint object models which have been packaged into .wsp file. Whenever we introduce new functionality to the product we used to branch the
previous code as a version , say Version 1.0 and new functionality of the product will in another solution. This is how we are managing the code in TFS as versions. Each newer version will have new functionalities. We do not give latest functionality for all
the clients. Each client is having its own version of functionality. Technically in order to access the functionality, the wsp solution should be present in the solution repository which is available in SharePoint central administrator site. This solution
will be deployed on the client’s site. We are following the above process in SharePoint standalone installation where we used to purchase dedicated server per client and installed sql, SharePoint foundation 2010 as standalone installation and adding the client
related version of the code to the solution repository. Later host on the site which is created for that client purpose. This process is same for all the clients where we purchase individual server for each client .
Now we want to host our product in farm environment of sharepoint foundation 2010 where we are going to try 3 level architecture.
• SQL Server-In this sever we are going to install sql server 2008R2 standard edition. Which should serve the database service for all the web applications/sitecollections which we are going to create in Web front end server.
• Application server- In this server we are going to install the sharepoint as farm and will install search server express for serving search functionality for our product
• Web front end server- In this server we are going to add this server to Sharepoint farm which we have created in application server. Here we are going to create web applications and site collections for all the clients.
In this scenario how to manage multiple versions of same wsp solution?
Another major issue w.r.t the architecture of the product and new approach for client deployment as follow.We have CSS, jquery files for serving the functionality.These files have been mapped to 14 hive folder.If any changes we do one of the jquery file or
css file which is meant for latest version and not for old version, then how to manage this new functionality for that particular css or jquery file in 14 hive folder, since there is only one 14 hive folder. What is the best practice to make this happen? Another
thing is, how to manage dll files for individual client?

It sounds like you have a farm scoped solution at work. In that case you can only have a single instance of it per farm, you'd have to branch each version so they appear to be seperate solutions entirely (thus ruining your clients upgrade process).
Bluntly i don't think a single farm can manage all your user environments.
