Facebook like profile page in SharePoint 2010/2013

Hi techies,
I got a requirement to create a user profile page similar to facebook.
Please let me know the approach to go about it.
Any help will be appreciated

Getting familiar with the MySites part of SharePoint 2013 might be a good place to start. This has more enterprise social features than previous versions of the product.

This will surface in various parts of the platform.

Create a custom Master Page in SharePoint Foundation 2013

Hi,
I am new to SharePoint foundation.
I am trying to create a custom master page and save it as template, so that i can use it for all other sub sites. But i don't know where to start. Also i tries searching in Google, i got results for share point and not for share point foundation.
So, Please give me a step by step procedure or a link to step by step procedure on how to create a master page, save it as template and use it for a sub site.
Thanks in advance,
Gowtham R

Few points to note related to SharePoint Master page:
You don't need to create master page template. If you deploy your master page in site collection level you can reuse the same master page in subsites without copying again and again, rather just by referencing
You have not mentioned how you are going to deploy your master page. If you have any Visual Studio (VS) solution already, try to add your master page in the VS solution and deploy your master page (and other branding components) as SharePoint WSP
solution.
Deploying master page will not activate the master page, you need to use some kind of 'Web Level Feature' to activate your branding - the feature will basically set the master page property of SharePoint site to your custom master page.
Please follow the links below for steps by steps instructions (and you will find many just by googling 'sharepoint master page visual studio'):

Question regarding the powershell creation of service applications in SharePoint 2010/2013

Hi
I create all my service applications in SharePoint 2010/2013 using Powershell.
Is there a "best practice" when to start the service Instance for a service application? Is it better to start the service instance prior to creating a service application or after the service application has been create?
I'm curious.
best regards
Bjorn

Not that i'm aware of. If it works then go for it.
I would tend to build the service application and only then activate the instances on servers, however that is going to depend heavily on the application in question. The real heavyweights like Search are a special case in any event.

Display Doc ID with Link to the Property page in SharePoint 2010

Good Morning.
I have been asked to add the DocID to the search results. Part two is to have that docID link to the property page for the item.
I have added DocID to fetched property's and can display it fine on the page but I am having problems creating the link to the property pages.
can anyone help?
So far I am trying to do this in the searchcoreresults XSL.
I would like the format of the DOCID to appear like this.
[ DOCID ] with the Hyperlink to take you to the item property's page.
thank you.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display Doc ID with Link to the Property page in SharePoint 2010.
SharePoint indexes Document IDs as a managed property by default, which means that with a little magic, we can add the Document ID into the search results.
We need to modify the XSL so that we display the Document ID in the search results.
Here is a great article for your reference:

Create subscriptions for Powerview reports like SSRS reports in SharePoint 2010

Hi,
I have created the power view reports in SharePoint 2010 and now I want to create an email subscription for Powerview reports like SSRS reports in SharePoint 2010. Is it possible? If not, is there any workaround?
Thanks,
Suresh.

Hi Suresh:
Unfortunately, you can't setup subscriptions in PowerView like you can on SSRS. I would suggest you to open up a connect item here and request for this feature - http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer
Hope this helps.

How to configure SharePoint 2010 / 2013 Search for SQL Database Contents and Oracle Database Contents?

Hi All,
We are planning to maintain the contents in SQL / Oracle. Could you please suggest anyone which is best for SharePoint 2010 / 2013 Search. How to configure the search for external content source?
Thanks & Regards,
Prakash

This link explains supported and non supported scenarios to use Oracle for BCS

And here is more on it
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff464424%28office.14%29.aspx
And here how you can connect Oracle to SharePoint for BCS functionality
http://lightningtools.com/bcs/business-connectivity-services-in-sharepoint-2013-and-oracle-using-meta-man/
Overall it seems SQL doenn't require any special arrangement to connect BCS to SharePoint.

A custom Site action in Site Workflow would probably be a way of doing it,

How to print calendar for the year with one month a page in sharepoint 2010?

Currently, I can print a SharePoint 2010 calendar one page at time when the month view is displayed. Is there an easy way to print all the months at once with one month on each page?
Thanks for any tips!

I can't vouch for it but a useful looking CodePlex project might help with this.
If you've permissions to install it and test, have a look at this. It does mention Calendars specifically too.

Dynamically Link OneNote Page to SharePoint 2010 Page Viewer Web Part

I'm trying to display a OneNote page within a SharePoint 2010 Page Viewer web part whereby the OneNote page can be edited by users with read/write permission, but not having any success.
I was able to save the OneNote page as a web page (.mht) file and display it as a static page within the SharePoint Page Viewer web part.
Any suggestions on how it can be done would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm afraid there might be no way to integrate OneNote with SharePoint as your requirment. Sorry.

Displaying Access Data in SharePoint 2010/2013

We have an old application. The website is designed using Front Page that retrieves data from an Access Database. The web site has a few fields. The user enters the information and hits the Submit Button. The application runs a SQL query and fetches
data from Access DB. Data then shows up in a Grid.
I want to create this solution in SharePoint. Still not sure whether the data should reside in SharePoint or in Access.
What is the best approach?
I should transfer data into SharePoint from Access. Then prompt the user to enter some data.
Would InfoPath be a good choice?
If I leave the data in Access, is Data View Web Part the preferred way to get data?
Thanks so much!
Mayank

Hi Mayank,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to dispaly Access Database data in SharePoint.
If your Access Database is a web database, you can publlish your Access database to SharePoint with the following method:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/hub/archive/2010/11/08/publish-your-access-database-to-sharepoint.aspx

If your Access Database is a desktop database, you can publish your Access database to SharePoint with the following method:

Creating a Publishing Page with SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise & SharePoint Designer 2013

How can I create a Publishing Page using my existing Master Page. The purpose of this is that I want to use page layouts within that page. I cannot understand how to do that. I even tried from the SharePoint Designer 2013. Could someone help me to solve
this matter.
Thank You,
Regards,
Chiranthaka.

Are you having trouble creating a custom page layout, getting it to appear when creating a Publishing Page, or getting it to use your custom Master Page?
- If you are having trouble creating a page layout take a look at the following article:
http://sharepoint-works.blogspot.com/2013/08/create-custom-page-layouts-in.html#.U0KQYPnxpaE
- If you aren't seeing your page layout when creating a custom page check the settings under Page Layout and Site Templates in the Look and Feel
section of the Site Settings page.
- The master page used by all Publishing Pages is the Site Master Page. You can change which Master page is used in the Master Page link in the Look and Feel section of the Site Settings page.

SharePoint 2010 / 2013 web browser session timeout

1) What settings govern how long a user is authenticated in SharePoint before they need to enter their credentials again in the browser ?
2) How to check what these default session timeouts are and how to change them ?
Thanks,
Mario

Thanks Inderjeet and Lakshmanan for the links.
I did some more research, and here are my findings regarding SharePoint authentication cookies: (We are using claims with Windows NTLM authentication in SharePoint 2010)
Per the white paper at
http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/F/6/9F69FEBA-614B-483F-9CF2-60225D75E81E/persistent-cookies-whitepaper.docx : "SharePoint sites create persistent cookies with a default time-out value of 10 hours for sites that use Windows claims or forms-based
authentication claims"
I verified this by running the following PowerShell command:
Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig | select WindowsTokenLifetime
which returned 10:00:00 (i.e. 10 hours) and matches the default cookie timeout in the white paper.
However, in my testing, I found that once I logged in, I was able to access the site without re-entering my credentials even after 10 hours, so I'm not sure what exactly controls the session timeout.
Also, the white paper mentions that by default SharePoint uses persistent authentication cookies that are saved to disk. However, even after deleting all cookies from my browser, I am still able to access the site without entering credentials. (I only need
to re-enter credentials once I close the browser and reopen the SharePoint site in the browser again) . The only cookies I see are related to '/_vti_bin/Discovery.asmx' and I don't think that these are the authentication cookies.
To summarize - my test results were not consistent with the default timeout of 10 hours, and I was unable to find the SharePoint authentication cookie. Interested to hear if anyone has any thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Mario

Custom 404 Error page in Sharepoint Foundation 2013

Hi all,
How to point to the custom 404 error page in Share Point Foundation 2013. I have seen some links but not working for me. Please me let me know if you have any suggestion.
Thanks.

Can i create any page and pass the page url in it,like if i have created a page as custom404.aspx under pages library so do i need to do like this?
$spsite = Get-SPSite "<http://sharepoint:1000/>"
$spsite.FileNotFoundUrl = "<pages/custom404.aspx>"
is this the correct way or i am doing incorrectly??
please suggest

How can I set the workgroup templates file location in Office 2013 to point at a folder stored on Sharepoint (2010/2013)?

Hi All,
Been doing quite a bit of research on this but drawn nothing but blanks or alternative suggestions, none of which are viable.
So the outline of the issue:
Deploying Office 2013 suite to organisation and wanting to have custom templates available for users to choose from, but want those templates to be centrally stored and managed on a SharePoint site.
In Word 2013, for example, when you create a new document, you are presented with a page to choose from 'Featured' templates (or blank document)
So, if you wanted to have custom corporate templates, you could modify the file location for work group templates, thus creating a Custom Office Templates folder locally on your PC.
Great. This means when you select 'New' in Word 2013 you can pick from the 'Featured' templates, or the 'Personal' templates area.
However, I have a collection of test corporate templates (for Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc). These are stored on a SharePoint site internally.
If I try to modify the work group templates location in Word 2013 to point towards my SharePoint site (or any HTTP address for that matter) it won't work.
I know that I could point it towards a Network Share location instead, but I don't want to do that.
Is there any way of getting it to point towards a SharePoint site, any way of modifying it? Or perhaps an even better solution that I could use?
Any help, thoughts or ideas would be massively appreciated! And forgive me if any of my logic is off, but it does seem like this should be a straight forward thing to do given that Office and SharePoint are both developed by Microsoft and you
would like to think they would inherently have better links!
NOTE: Going to Office 365 is also not an option either!
Eagerly awaiting an answer from someone incredibly clever!

Hi Tony,
Thanks for your response but this is not what I was looking for.
Those articles relate to setting a default template in a SharePoint document or form library.
I will try to be more concise.
What I want is:
(1) For users to be able to load MS Word 2013 on their laptops/desktops (connected to corporate Wireless/LAN)
(2) Once they have opened MS Word 2013, I want them to be able to choose a template from the welcome screen. (There are MS Word Defaults like 'Blank Document' or 'Cover Letter' etc)
I want to add a second tab which is called 'Personal' or 'Corporate'.
(3) MS Word 2013 allows you to create custom WORD templates and save them locally on your machine (either in the default location for templates, or a user-specified custom location (e.g. My Documents, Desktop etc).
(4) In advanced settings, there is an option to modify file locations. This is where you can point MS Word 2013 towards the folder (locally) that contains the personal templates that you have designed which you want to use.
(5) QUESTION: Is there a way to have lots of corporate WORD templates (perhaps one for Marketing, Sales, Procurement, Project etc) - Basically LOTS of different templates all stored in one location on SHAREPOINT, or in a SharePoint document
library. THEN... once those templates (documents) are stored on SharePoint,
IS THERE A WAY to go back into the advanced settings within MS WORD 2013 and modify the file location for templates so that it points towards the SharePoint document library?
I want all the templates to open in MS Word 2013, not within a browser, and I don't want users to have to go to SharePoint to find a template, I want it to be integrated into their local MS Word 2013 so they can choose a corporate template the moment they
load up MS Word 2013.
When I have tried to modify the custom file location for templates, I can only set it to an address locally on my machine, or a network address (mapped network drive).
However, I do not want the templates to be stored on a shared network folder, I want them to be in a SharePoint Document Library.
The issue I have found is that I cannot enter a SharePoint Library URL as my file location, nor can I enter any HTTP address.
IS THERE A WAY AROUND THIS?

How to convert word documents to html page in sharepoint online 2013

Hi,
I am new SharePoint and still learning it.
I have been tasked to do the following on office 365 E3 SharePoint 2013 Online edition.
1) I have to create a Web page in asp.net
2) This page needs to show document from a given SharePoint folder and bind them in a grid or dropdown on the asp .net web page
3) On selecting the document from the drop down or gird (on asp .net webpage), I need to show the SharePoint word document as HTML on the webpage (something like word to html) Note: These SharePoint word document may contain Images, bullets, tables etc.
What I have been able to do till now
1) I have been able to connect to SharePoint from ASP .net application.
2) I have been able to retrieve document from a specific SharePoint folder.
3) Read the document from SharePoint folder and bind them to a drop down on the asp .net page.
What is missing?
I am not aware about any API that SharePoint Online provides to convert Word document to HTML. Any code sample or reference on how to will be much appreciated.
I am not also not sure what is the best way of achieving the functionality this?
Thanks
Krishna

If this was SharePoint server then it would be easy however in O365 You need to create a app which will use the word automation service and below is powershell which you can use for the conversion:-
# This script will convert Docx to PDF using word automation and similarly it can be used to convert to HTML
$wordFile="http://contoso/kick.docx"
$pdfFile="http://contoso/kick.pdf"
$wasp = Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy | where { $_.TypeName -eq "Word Automation Services Proxy" }
$site = Get-SPSite "http://contoso"
$ConvertJob = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Conversions.SyncConverter($wasp)
$ConvertJob.UserToken = $site.UserToken
$ConvertJob.Settings.UpdateFields = $false
$ConvertJob.Settings.OutputFormat = "PDF"
$ConvertJob.Convert($wordFile, $pdfFile)
