Cross Site Publishing in SharePoint Online

I was asked to test Cross Site Publishing features in SharePoint 2013 Online. I saved the Authoring site collection's (Used Team Site's Template since Product Catalog Template not avialable in SP Online) Pages library as a Catalog. When I connected that
catalog in my Publishing site collection, 2 pages created automatically. Category Page is showing the content, but CatelogItem page is empty. How can I configure Content Search Web Part to show the Page Content of the Authoring Sites's page?
Can we show Authoring sites Pages libraries page content on the publishing site?
Is this possible in SharePoint Online Cross Site Publishing?

Publish Page Content-Cross Site Publishing in SharePoint Online

Is it possible to get Authoring Site's Specific Page's Content/html content (Live in Page Library of Authoring Site and saved as a Catalog) by a Content Search web part added to the Publishing site's page?
(Please note that these sites created in SharePoint 2013 Online, Authoring Site activated Cross site Publishing feature and created using team site template, Publishing site created using Publishing Portal template)

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.

Authoring and Publishing site collection in SharePoint Online

Hi ,
Can we have multiple authoring and publishing site collection in SharePoint Online?
Thanks, Kaviya (Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you)

Yes you can use SharePoint 2013 cross-site publishing feature in SharePoint Online to support 1:1 and 1:n set up of authoring : publishing site-collections in SharePoint Online. The catch is that it all needs to be within same tenant.

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.

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.

Building Site Collections in SharePoint Online

Hello all,
Please forgive me for this very basic question, but I was not able to find the info online.
Background info: I have a great deal of experience with SharePoint administration on-prem but not much experience with SharePoint Online. My current organization has O365 and wants to build a collaboration environment and an Intranet. I understand the information
architecture practices that would have been common for this for an on-prem environment, and I understand that those have changed with 2013 and SharePoint Online due to the new practice of organizing everything under one web app.
Between reading some articles and using my experience with on-prem, I am trying to design an organized information architecture that will facilitate both environments and the permissions structures they require. My tentative plan was to build one site collection
for the Intranet under https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites (under which subsites would be built for various Intranet divisions), and then a number of individual site collections for the collaboration environment under https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/teams
(/hr, /finance, etc., so that content owners and users could work in their own site collection without affecting a site collection belonging to someone else).
This is the article that initially caused me to believe that this is possible/a good idea: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/richard_dizeregas_blog/archive/2014/09/01/sharepoint-online-information-architecture-considerations.aspx.
"For [managed paths] you get the root, /search (explicit managed path), /sites (wildcard managed path), and /teams (wildcard managed path)."
However this article leads me to believe that I will not be allowed to create any site collections at all, only subsites: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Plan-sites-and-manage-users-8e568d8d-3d65-42c4-99fa-f7285c9db842.
"You cannot create additional site collections in SharePoint Online for Office 365 for Small Business."
I understand the answer to this may depend on what version of O365 we have, and I am working to find that out.
My understanding is that I cannot be made a SharePoint Online administrator without being a global O365 administrator: http://blogs.technet.com/b/lystavlen/archive/2012/06/14/understanding-the-administrator-role-in-sharepoint-online.aspx.
"You cannot separate the roles of Office 365 global administrator and SharePoint Online Administrator."
Thus, I don't currently have the level of access I need to browse around the administration area and find the answers to my questions that way. When the time comes, I will likely be given temporary access or will be working with an O365 global administrator
to build.
Main question: Will I be allowed to build site collections under managed paths?
Larger question: How are others managing the information architecture for an Intranet and a Collaboration environment in SharePoint Online, especially if the answer to the prior question is no?
Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.
Shae

Hi,
According to the error message, the Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.Client.Tenant.dll seems not been loaded.
You can find it in the path below:
C:\Program Files\SharePoint Client Components\Assemblies
A code snippet about how to retrieve a list of site collections in a tenant for your reference:

foreach (var c in password.ToCharArray()) securedPassword.AppendChar(c);
var credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(username, securedPassword);
using (var context = new ClientContext(tenantAdminUrl))

Backup - Restore process of a Site Collection in SharePoint Online

Hi, I have a couple of questions.
1) What do I have to do to get a backup-restore of a site collection in SharePoint Online?
2) Can I myself perform a backup-restore or just backup a site collection without using any 3rd party tool?
Any inputs on these will be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
what you can instead of backup and restore site is to save it as template, check this thread

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

Managed property in a site collection (powershell - SharePoint online)

Link to my site collection -> https://web.domain.com/sites/SC/_layouts/15/listmanagedproperties.aspx?level=sitecol

What I need is to is to add a mapping to do is to add a mapping

With powershell.
Assume that a full crawl has finished. That all crawled properties exist.
I want to add "ows_GoPro_x0020_Code" and I also want to change the Alias to "ProjectNumber"
What is the best way to do this via powershell for SharePoint 2013 online?
Do I need to build a sandboxed solution for this?

HI,i would recommend run the PowerShell cmdlet to check if this website exists. Here are the detailed steps:
1. Set up the SharePoint Online Management Shell Windows PowerShell environment
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161372.aspx
2. Run the command Get-SPOSite, it will return all site collections.
3. Check if the problematic public site collection is shown in the result. If it shows up, run another command to remove it. For example:
Remove-SPOSite -Identity https://expertsharepoint/sites/site1 -NoWait
This will remove the site collection named https://expertsharepoint/sites/site1 from the site collections list and moves it to the Recycle Bin.
4. Delete the site from the Recycle Bin:
Remove-SPODeletedSite -Identity https://expertsharepoint/sites/site1

Is there any REST API to get all the Site and site Collections from Sharepoint Online

Hi,
I have one SharePoint Online tenant. We are using REST API to integrate SharePoint to our internal System.
For my use case I need to get all the SharePoint sites ans Sitecollections. From each SiteCollection I need all the subsites under this.
I have used below REST Query
http://<Base site url>/_api/web
This doesn't give me all the Site collections
Could any one please give me some way to get all the Site collections and sites from my sharepoint tenant through REST API.
Thanks,

Hi Abhiram,
There seems no such endpoint in SharePoint REST API can retrieve a list of site collections in a SharePoint Online tenant:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj860569.aspx#Reference
If Client Object Model can be an option for you, you can use Tenant object to achieve what you want:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/24050.perform-basic-admin-operations-using-csom-in-sharepoint-online.aspx#Scenario_3_Fetch_All_Site_Collections
Anyway, I would suggest you submit a feedback to the Office Developer Platform if there any expectation about the future version of REST API of Office 365 SharePoint
Online:
http://officespdev.uservoice.com/
It
is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products. What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft
Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.
