Disclaimer in Sharepoint 2010

I'm trying to set up a pop up window with a URL to a document each time my Sharepoint site is loaded.
I read that it can be done by adding a content editor web part with a following code to a page:
<script src="/_layouts/sp.core.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/_layouts/sp.runtime.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/_layouts/sp.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/_layouts/SP.UI.Dialog.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(function ()
{var options = SP.UI.$create_DialogOptions();
options.title = "My Dialog Title";
options.width = 400;
options.height = 600;
options.url = "/SomePage/SitePages/Home.aspx";
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);},'sp.js');
</script>
But I'm getting an error in Mozila console: TypeError: SP.Res
This what I'm getting in IE console: 'SP.Res.hiddenButtonValueBeforeDialog' is null or not an object
And Modal dialog is not showing up.
Sharepoint version: 2010 Foundation.
Please advice what am I doing wrong.

Try separating both functionalities like below.
<script src="/_layouts/sp.core.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/_layouts/sp.runtime.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/_layouts/sp.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/_layouts/SP.UI.Dialog.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">function OpenDiaglog()
{var options = SP.UI.$create_DialogOptions();
options.title = "My Dialog Title";
options.width = 400;
options.height = 600;
options.url = "/SomePage/SitePages/Home.aspx";
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);}
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(OpenDiaglog,sp.js');
</script>

  • Lync 2013 standard deployment: Exchange 2010 Sharepoint 2010 and outlook 2007 collaboration

    HI
    I have Exchange 2010 and sharepoint 2010 with all our user using outlook 2007. what options do I have for collaborations between these systems if I was to install Lync 2013. I have seen posts that mention that you cannot use outlook 2007 and lync 2013 and
    that you would be better off installing the lync 2010 client?
    1. would we be covered from a licensing point of view if we had bought lync 2013 cals but install the lync 2010 software on desktops?
    2. what Cals do we require for presence to be available in SharePoint we currently have standard sharepoint cals?
    3. what new features will we loose if we install 2010 lync software.
    4. if our mobile users use the 2013 lync software will these be able to communicate with the 2010 users?
    thanks
    J

    Hi,
    If you use Lync 2013 client with Outlook, multiple functions will not be achieved, such as: customize Outlook meeting invitations (add logo, help URL, disclaimer, footer text), in Outlook, configure meeting option to mute attendee audio and video by default,
    presence status in the Microsoft Outlook To and Cc fields, and so on. As Lync 2013 is the part of Office 2013, the best choice is using Outlook 2013.
    More details:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412817.aspx
    For the CAL requirement, you can refer to following link:
    Lync Licensing Guide
    You can refer to the link below of “What’s new for clients in Lync Server 2013” to understand the new features for Lync 2013:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204933.aspx
    If you use Lync 2013 mobile clients, you can communicate with 2010 users with no possible.

  • Unable to open Office files on SharePoint 2010 sites on Windows Server 2008 R2

    Setup: Windows SharePoint Server 2010 sp1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (hosted on VMWare VSphere ESXi 5.1)
    Secured using Domain SSL from GlobalSign.
    Client OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit & Windows XP SP3 32 bit
    Browsers: IE10, IE9,IE8
    Office: Office 2010, Office 2010 sp2 (both 32bit), Office 2007
    Problem Description: Only recently, users started having issues with opening Office files (Word, Excel) on SharePoint sites. When you click on an Office file e.g. Word Document, it comes up with the option to select "Ready only" or "Edit"
    and choosing either options and re-entering the login credentials results in the
    application hanging. If you leave it for a while (about 5 minutes) sometimes the file opens and other times it gives the error "Could not open https://portal.com/XXX/XXX/Document.docx". Even when it opens, it's extremely
    sluggish and can't do anything other than end it via Task Manager. Same with excel files. 
    This happens to all the users all different OS and browsers.
    On XP Pro SP3 w/ IE8, when you click on the file, the login prompt keeps popping back up repeatedly and if you click cancel, the file loads up anyway but no way of saving back onto the SharePoint site.
    IMPORTANT: One exception is when logged in as a Site Collection Administrator, it
    works like a dream bizarrely!!!! Opens, Edits and saves back fine on the SharePoint site.
    Have tried following:
    1. Repaired Office 2010 Pro; Uninstalled/Re-installed Office 2010 Pro
    2. Reset Browser, unticked automatically detect proxy settings.
    3. Emptied OfficeOfflineCache on Client
    4. Removed WebDAV from the SharePoint server
    5. Added Antivirus folder exclusion (We use SEP 11) on the SharePoint Server
    Note: PDF files opens fine for all users.
    I would immensely appreciate if anybody has got any advice/pointers/suggestions. Desperately out of ideas at the moment.
    regards,
    Compter Sez No!

    Hi,
    According to your description, When you try to open a Microsoft Office document from a SharePoint 2010 site in a client application, the document opens slowly and you are prompted to enter your credentials multiple times.
    This issue may be because of SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) server(s) has Antivirus software installed and the exceptions are not set correctly.
    I recommend to remove the antivirus software or set the correct permissions for the antivirus software to resolve the issue.
    To configure the antivirus exceptions, please follow the guidelines in the below articles:
    KB943620:
    Folders to exclude when you perform a file-level antivirus scan on a server operating system.
    KB952167:
    Certain folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use a file-level antivirus program in SharePoint.
    KB943556:
    Recommended file and folder exclusions for Microsoft Forefront Client Security or Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • Reporting Services 2012 in SharePoint 2010 - do I need to install SSRS on each server?

    Have spent some time today setting up SSRS2012 with SP1 Business Intelligence Edition on our test SharePoint 2010 farm.  The SharePoint farm is four servers (plus a database) - one of the application servers will host the SQL Server 2012 instance and
    SSRS 2012.
    I've installed SSRS 2012 on one of the servers in SharePoint mode, and seems to be configured correctly in Central Admin - can view the system settings, it reports that the SQL Server Agent is running, etc.  I've also installed the SSRS 2012 SharePoint
    Add-In on all servers.  However, I'm getting the following error whenever I try to do anything with reports (such as deploying or running):
    Name=Request (POST:http://sharepoint/reports/ReportService2010.asmx) System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: The file you are attempting to save or retrieve has been blocked from this Web site by
    the server administrators.
    Sure enough, if I try to connect to that ReportService2010.asmx URL in a browser, I get the same error.  Note that http://sharepoint is NOT the server I installed SSRS on - this is a web front-end.
    Can I assume that I need to install SSRS2012 (SharePoint integrated) on all SharePoint servers in the farm?  Or is this another issue?

    You only need to install the Add-on for the additional servers. Have you configured the SSRS Service Application?

  • Reporting Services 2012 in SharePoint 2010 - SQL database edition?

    We currently have a SharePoint 2010 farm, running on a SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard database.  On one of the SharePoint 2010 servers, we have an instance of Reporting Services 2008 Enterprise running in SharePoint integrated mode.  (We require Enterprise
    for data-driven subscriptions)
    We'd like to upgrade to Reporting Services 2012 for Data Alerts and a few other new features.  However, I noticed something on
    this blog stating that the SharePoint 2010 database server edition needs to match the Reporting Services edition. My concern is that I've not seen any official mention of this in Microsoft's documentation, and would like to avoid upgrading to Enterprise
    for the SharePoint 2010 database if I can avoid it.
    So, what I'd like to run is:
    SharePoint 2010
    SharePoint database: SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard
    Reporting Services 2012 Enterprise
    Reporting Services database: same as SharePoint database, so SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard
    Is this possible?  Or do I need to upgrade the SharePoint database to SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise?  
    Alternatively, could I install a separate database engine just for Reporting Services to host its databases (for example, SQL Server 2012 Enterprise), so I don't have to mess around with upgrading the SP database?

    While you don't need to upgrade your SQL 2008 R2 to 2012, you will need to install an instance of SQL 2012 & SSRS 2012. They can be side-by-side and independent of each other. The following blog post provides steps to do so,

  • Getting Prompt for Credentials When Opening InfoPath 2010 Form in Sharepoint 2010

    I have a domain user who runs Office 2010 x32 and uses a Sharepoint 2010 site daily. Lately a specific page on that site has been randomly giving prompts for credentials when opening existing documents and creating new ones. The process can be most easily
    replicated by opening the new document template in Infopath by going to Documents -> New in the ribbon bar of the SP page. Most of the time the Windows credentials for the user are passed to Infopath/Sharepoint automatically (which is normal), but on the
    fourth or fifth attempt to create a new form, the prompt appears. The user can still enter the credentials and open the blank template form, but a prompt should not appear. The user is also the administrator for that page, so I'm thinking it's not a permissions
    issue.
    The user is running IE 9 on Windows 7 Pro x64. I have performed the following:
    Reset advanced IE settings and all user cache data
    Cleared cached Sharepoint credentials in Windows credential manager
    Re-applied group policy for the machine using gpupdate /force
    Logged in with a clean temporary profile
    Logged in to another domain account using the user's Sharepoint credentials
    Cleared Infopath cache
    Re-installed Office 2010 x32
    The problem only occurs only on this particular machine. There are no Sharepoint or authentication-related errors or warnings in the application and system event logs. There are also no error messages on-screen when the prompt appears. I also considered
    the possibility of this being a performance related issue in the case that maybe Infopath was taking too long to start, causing the credential pass-through process to time out and fall back to a prompt. I ran disk cleanup, deleted some temporary files, and
    checked for excessive CPU/memory load. I didn't find any issues and doing these things did not help.
    I'm convinced there is another setting somewhere in Windows that is causing this. Interestingly it always happens after four or five attempts, never the first time. Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Hi Titan, this sounds like an IE security setting issue. Things to do:
    1. In Internet options>Security>Local Intranet, make sure "Enable Protected Mode" is not selected.
    2. Under Sites>Advanced, add https://*.sharepoint.com (and make sure "Require server verification..." is not checked).
    3. Under Security>Custom Level, scroll all the way to the bottom and make sure "Automatic logon with current user..." is checked.

  • Enable or disable button on a ribbon based on user permissions in SharePoint 2010

    Hi,
    I have requirement to find a way to disable Inheritance, Add and Modify group from permission tab for users who are not added into specific group e.g. Administrators
    I have followed the following article to create a feature but have encountered few issues:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff408060.aspx
    Issues:
    I used the above code as a sample to create a feature and test if it would work. It worked fine but even though i have replaced Location="Ribbon.Library.Actions.ConnectToClient" with my permission locations,
    Connect to Outlook button still doesn't appear when the feature is activated. If i deactive this feature it shows
    Connect to Outlook button even though there is no reference for this in the code!
    I have modified the Elements.XML and have added the following code but it still disables the buttons for a user who has Site Collection Administrator permissions, i just want to disable this for users who are in particular group:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
    <CustomAction
    Id="RemoveRibbonButton"
    Location="CommandUI.Ribbon"
    RequireSiteAdministrator = "TRUE"
    >
    <CommandUIExtension>
    <CommandUIDefinitions>
    <CommandUIDefinition
    Location="Ribbon.Permission.Modify" />
    </CommandUIDefinitions>
    </CommandUIExtension>
    </CustomAction>
    <CustomAction
    Id="RemoveRibbonButton"
    Location="CommandUI.Ribbon"
    RequireSiteAdministrator = "TRUE"
    >
    <CommandUIExtension>
    <CommandUIDefinitions>
    <CommandUIDefinition
    Location="Ribbon.Permission.Add" />
    </CommandUIDefinitions>
    </CommandUIExtension>
    </CustomAction>
    </Elements>
    I have also have another issue when this feature is activated even though i haven't removed 'Check' and 'Manage' Ribbon locations, they are also greyed out as shown it the screenshot below:
    I have also created a user control using the following method:
    http://sharepointroot.com/2010/06/18/remove-actions-from-the-ribbon-sharepoint-2010/
    But again i need to restrict it specific user group.
    Any advice how to do this? or which way is better creating a feature or creating a user control? even though i liked the creating the feature as it gives your more control.
    Regards,
    Kashif

    Thanks for your reply Paul.
    I do understand that this is a partial solution and wouldn't stop them completely from doing these actions using different UI but atleast it would remove these options from the ribbon which is causing us some major issues when clicked by mistake especially
    'inherit permissions'.
    We do have governance policies in place and a certain user group can add and remove users from SP site. But the issue we have currently is that when one of these (authorised) users uses 'inherit permissions from parent' site. This removes the unique
    permissions from the subsite and delete all SP groups / permission level in the subsite. In some cases subsite contains confidential information which is then exposed to all the users who have access to the parent site.
    The main button which i'm interested to disable is 'Inherit Permissions' which i believe can't be used from anyother UI apart from the ribbon.
    I just need to know if it's possible to restrict this for some users or group? even if it just removes it from the ribbon only i would be still interested to explore this implementation.
    Any help would be apperciated.
    Regards,
    Kashif

    Hi Raghuramk,
    is the web service is a search query web service? if yes, i suppose sharepoint 2013 already deprecated,
    Search Query web service
    Description: The Search Query web service is deprecated in SharePoint 2013.
    In SharePoint Server 2010, the Search Query web service exposes the SharePoint Enterprise Search capabilities to client applications. This enables you to access search results from client and web applications outside the context of a SharePoint site.
    Reason for change: The Search Query web service is deprecated because the client object model (CSOM) and a new REST-based web service are available for developing Office-wide extensibility scenarios. The CSOM exposes the same functionality
    as the Search Query web service, and a larger set of functionality for stand-alone client applications.

  • SharePoint 2010 sites along with SharePoint 2013 sites

    Hi,
    we have a client who ha SharePoint 2013 foundation installed. They bought third party extension, and unfortunately they found out, that extension is compatible up to SharePoint 2010.
    Is it possible to install new SharePoint server 2010, connect it to existing SP 2013 farm and thus activate extension for SP 2010?
    Thanks,
    Tomas

    This only works one way and a SharePoint 2013 farm can not consume services from a SharePoint 2010 provider

  • SharePoint 2010 Excel Services with SQLserver 2012 cubes

    I have two tier sharepoint 2010 enterprise setup
    1)wfe  and app server
    2) sqlserver
    I also have a sqlserver 2012 which hosts all our BI cubes .
    is it possible to connect excel (office 2010)  to sql 2012 BI and save that in my sharepoint 2010 server  under shared documents and expect it to refresh when aall authenticated users hit " refresh all connections"
    It is not able to hit refresh . I get a " unable to refresh data for  a data connection in this notebook" the following connections fail to refresh.
    Interesting when I do the same this using sql server 2008 r2 BI , everything works fine

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the SharePoint 2010 Excel Service cannot work with SQL Server 2012.
    Did you install Service Pack 1 for SharePoint 2010?
    SharePoint 2010 Service Pack 1 is required for SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot for SharePoint features.
    Please check if the Service Pack 1 is installed for SharePoint 2010. If not, please download it from the link below and install it:

  • Initiate Excel Refresh with SharePoint 2010

    Hey guys,
    I've got question. I use SharePoint in connection with Excel, but there is a problem. Normally the data is handed over from SharePoint to an Excel Sheet and this Excel sheet does a lot of calculation and then it is shown in the excel webpart. Sometimes the
    data is not up-to-date, then I have to refresh Excel manually.
    Is there any possible way to push this refreshing without a script?Or is a script the best way to handle this?
    Best regards and thanks in advance
    Matthias

    if you are not using the excel services and you want refresh your data from client side.You can do with script and schedule it as task run what ever time you want.
    their are 2 things, again 
    1) the document library which required checkout  before editing.
    # This is the location of the document library that has the Excel files
    # You must have WebDAV enabled on the server (which is default, I think)
    # and the webclient service enabled and running on your workstation.
    $library = "\\sharepoint.ad.local@SSL\DavWWWRoot\Shared Documents"
    # Start Excel (it will be invisible unless you do $excel.visible = $true)
    $excel = new-object -comobject Excel.Application
    # Give Excel time to open or it errors inconsistently
    Start-Sleep -s 3
    $excelfiles = get-childitem $library -recurse -include "*.xls*"
    foreach ($file in $excelfiles)
      $workbookpath = $file.fullname
      if ($excel.workbooks.canCheckOut($workbookpath)) {
        # open the worksheet and check it out
        $excelworkbook = $excel.workbooks.Open($workbookpath)
        $excelworkbook = $excel.workbooks.CheckOut($workbookpath)
        # Don't ask cuz I don't know (yet). You have to open it again.
        $excelworkbook = $excel.workbooks.Open($workbookpath)
        # Refresh all the pivot tables with the new data.
        $excelworkbook.RefreshAll()
        # Save and Check it in
        $excelworkbook.Save()
        $excelworkbook.CheckInWithVersion()
    $excel.quit()
    2) Document library where no checkout required.
    # This is the location of the document library that has the Excel files
    # You must have WebDAV enabled on the server (which is default, I think)
    # and the webclient service enabled and running on your workstation.
    $library = "\\sharepoint.ad.local@SSL\DavWWWRoot\Shared Documents"
    # Start Excel (it will be invisible unless you do $excel.visible = $true)
    $excel = new-object -comobject Excel.Application
    # Give Excel time to open or it errors inconsistently
    Start-Sleep -s 3
    $excelfiles = get-childitem $library -recurse -include "*.xls*"
    foreach ($file in $excelfiles)
      $workbookpath = $file.fullname
        # open the worksheet
        $excelworkbook = $excel.workbooks.Open($workbookpath)
        # Refresh all the pivot tables with the new data.
        $excelworkbook.RefreshAll()
        # Save and Close
        $excelworkbook.Save()
        $excelworkbook.Close()
    $excel.quit()

    With all of this configured, I can go to the new test site, I do see the form where I can choose either Windows authentication or Forms authentication. I can successfully login with Windows authentication, but forms authentication gives me me an error.
    The server could not sign you in. Make sure your user name and password are correct, and then try again.
    I can successfully login to a LDAP management tool, using the same credentials I entered on the form, so I know the username and password being submitted are correct. I get the following items in the event viewer
    8306 - SharePoint Foundation - The security token username and password could not be validated.
    in the SharePoint trace logs - Password check on 'testuser' generated exception: 'System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.FailedAuthenticationException]: The security token username and password could not be validated. and
    then this:
    Request for security token failed with exception: System.ServiceModel.FaultException: The security token username and password could not be validated.
    at Microsoft.IdentityModel.Protocols.WSTrust.WSTrustChannel.ReadResponse(Message response)

    at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSecurityContext.SecurityTokenForContext(Uri context, Boolean bearerToken, SecurityToken onBehalfOf, SecurityToken actAs, SecurityToken delegateTo)
    I monitored the LDAP server and did a packet-trace on the communication happening between the SharePoint server and the LDAP server and it is a bit odd. It goes like this:
    The SharePoint server successfully connects to the LDAP server, binding the ldapserviceid+password
    The LDAP server tells the SharePoint server it is ready to communicate
    the SharePoint server sends an LDAP query to the LDAP server, asking if the name entered in the form authentication page can be found.
    The LDAP server does the query, successfully finds the entered name and sends a success message back to SharePoint
    The LDAP server sends notification that it is done and is closing the connection that was bound to theldapserviceid+password
    The SharePoint server acknowledges the connection is closing
    ... and then nothing happens, except the error on SharePoint
    What I understand is that the SharePoint server, once it gets confirmation that the submitted username exists in LDAP, should attempt to make a new LDAP connection, bound to the username and password submitted in the form (rather than the LDAP service account
    specified in the web.config). That part does not seem to be happening.
    I am at a standstill on this and any help would be greatly appreciated.

    OK, our problem was resolved by removing any information about the ASP.NET role manager. Initially, we had information about a role manager defined in three different web.config files, as well as in the SharePoint Central Administration site, where there
    is the checkbox to Enable Forms Based Authentication (you see this when you first create the new SharePoint app, or afterwards by modifying the Authentication Provider for the app.) In either case, you will see two text boxes, underneath the checkbox item
    for enabling Forms Based Authentication:
    "ASP.NET Membership provider name"
    "ASP.NET Role manager name"
    We entered a name for Membership provider, and left Role manager blank.
    In the web.config for the SharePoint Central Administration site, the SecurityTokenServiceApplication app, and the web app we created with FBA enabled, we entered the following:
    <membership>
    <providers>
    <add name="LdapMember"
    type="Microsoft.Office.Server.Security.LdapMembershipProvider, Microsoft.Office.Server, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"
    server="ldap.server.address"
    port="389"
    useSSL="false"
    connectionUsername="cn=ldapserviceid,ou=sharepoint,ou=test,ou=location,o=validobject"
    connectionPassword="validpassword"
    useDNAttribute="false"
    userDNAttribute="dn"
    userNameAttribute="cn"
    userContainer="OU=people,O=validobject"
    userObjectClass="person"
    userFilter="(ObjectClass=person)"
    scope="Subtree"
    otherRequiredUserAttributes="sn,givenname,cn" />
    </providers>
    </membership>
    <roleManager>
    <providers>
    </providers>
    </roleManager>
    useDNAttribute="false" turned out to be important as well.
    So, for us to get LDAP authentication working between SharePoint 2010 and Novel eDirectory, we had to:
    leave anything related to the role provider blank
    configure the web.config in three different applications, with the proper connection information to reach our Novel eDir
    Ensure that useDNAttribute="false" was used in all three on the modified web.config files.
    Since our eDir is flat and used pretty much exclusively for external users, we had never done any sort of advanced role management configuration in eDir. So, by having role manager details in the web.config files, SharePoint was waiting for information from
    a non-existent role manager.

  • SharePoint 2010 with OAM 11g

    We are currently trying to integrate SharePoint 2010 server with OAM 11g with 10g webgate. In our environment SharePoint site is configured with Claims based authentication with LDAP provider for membership. We have performed all the configurations based on the Oracle documentation with validation mode as OAMHttp.
    We are seeing the following behavior after this integration.
    1)     The user requests access to an SharePoint Site
    2)     Webgate protecting the site intercepts the request, determines if the resource is protected, and challenges the user.
    3)     The user enters their OAM credentials; Webgate contacts the OAM Server, which verifies the credentials from user store and authenticates the user. Webgate generates the OAM native SSO cookie (ObSSOCookie), which enables single sign-on and sets the User ID (to username) header variable in the HTTP request and redirects the user to SharePoint site.
    Here, instead of taking user to the home page of the site, the SharePoint login page is displayed again.

    If anyone have integrated OAM 11g with SharePoint 2010 earlier, appreciate your inputs in this regard.

    Each license is platform specific, you can't backwards apply or forwards apply licenses from one version of SharePoint to another.
    If you do have MSDN access, you'll have access to all current versions of SharePoint, across the current and retired server products.
