Feature not appearing in site collection features list using powershell

I created a custom web part solution which adds a custom web part to the web part gallery - simple.
I did this on my dev server and used Visual Studio's deploy button to deploy it, and it all worked. The solution was added to the Solution Store, my feature was now in the Site Collection features list and automatically activated. So I checked my web part
gallery and it was there as well... great.
Now I'm ready to migrate my simple web part to my Prod server. I managed to use WSP builder to build my wsp. So now i have my wsp file.
I used Powershell to add my solution to my Prod server, that worked. So I ran the Install-SPSolution command and looking at the logs, it all seemed to install fine. Here are the commands I used: 
Add-SPSolution “E:\Deployment WSPs\HRFeedbackForm.wsp“
Install-SPSolution -Identity "HRFeedbackForm.wsp" -GACDeployment
However, when I go to my Site Collection Features, I can't see my feature. There is nothing in my 14 hive either and as far as I can see, and there are no errors in my log files.
So what have I done wrong?
So I tested adding and deploying the same solution on my dev box using Powershell and I had the same problem as what I've experienced on my Prod server. So what's the difference between deploying solutions via Visual Studio Deploy and using those powershell
commands??? Is there something else I'm meant to change, somewhere?
I hope someone can shed some light on this issue.

Hi,
I wonder whether you have to populate this web part by force in your web part gallery.
For this, go to your Site's Home page. Then...
Site Action > Site Settings > Galleries > Web Parts
From here...
Under Library Tools go to Documents Tab > Click on New Documents > The New Web Parts popup will open
Here search for your web part. If you find it, select it and Check "Overwrite if file already exisists" and click on Populate Gallery.
If the above does not work, I am stumped too. I will be curious what other members of the community have to add.
Thanks, Soumya | MCITP, SharePoint 2010
Omg it was there and i've added it to the web parts library and it works.... that was soooo strange.
Thanks Soumya :)
Can you explain at all why the web part has been added to the web part gallery, but the feature doesn't appear under site collection features?
Danielle :)

  • Deployed solution not appearing in Site Collection Features

    I've created and deployed a solution via VS 2012. The web parts are there functioning as intended. The problem is I do not see the feature in Site Collections features so when I go to deploy to production via powershell I cannot activate the feature in the
    normal way. It is only activated in DEV because I'm deploying straight from VS.
    As always any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you,

    I have figured it out I think because now it's showing up. After looking at some feature config from some other projects I noticed Always Force install and Auto Activate In Central Admin was set to False. I set them to false in my feature and for whatever
    reason it's showing up now.
    To summarize:
    Changed the scope from Web to Site
    Set Always force install to False
    Set Always Activate in Central Admin to False
    Thank you all for your help on this.

  • Activate button not working in Site Collection features

    I just created a new web application and then Site Collection with "Team Site" template. Now when I want to activate "Publishing infrastructure" the "ACTIVATE" button is not working ..even not any button is working..whenever
    click on any button the page scrolls on the top.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you could not activate the “Publishing infrastructure” feature.
    To narrow the issue, you can check with the following steps.
    Did the issue occur in other browsers? You can use other browsers, such as Firefox or Chrome, to check whether it works.
    Did the issue occur in other site collections? You can create a new site collection or use other site collections in other web applications to check whether it works.
    You can also check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
    To check event log, click the Start button and type “Event Viewer” in the Search box.
    For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at      
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS

  • Get SPO Tenant Site Collection Administrators list using CSOM.

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to get the list of all SCA's for a site collection created in SPO tenant.
    using following code, i could able to view few properties of Site Collection but not the SCA's for that site collection.
    spp = tenant.GetSiteProperties(startIndex, true);
    Any other possibility to get the list of SCA's for a Site Collection created on SPO Tenant.
    Thanks,

    Your can easily adjust the time out limit of the underlying HttpRequest by setting the property ClientRuntimeContext.RequestTimeout (Details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/office/ee541007(v=office.15).aspx).
    I use this method for multiple Sharepoint Online apps and it works well. But be warned, sometimes I get no repsond for requests and so the ExecuteQuery() blocks until the time out occurs. This happend for me regualry while sending simple GetListByTitle()
    requests. So set a sane value (e.g. several minutes for long running requests like feature activations) and handle a time out in catch blocks.

  • The course I did to gain OCP certification in Oracle Database 11g does not appear on the courses submission list on the website of pearson vue.

    The course I did to gain OCP certification in Oracle Database 11g does not appear on the courses submission list on the website of pearson vue, I sent an email to [email protected] from < email address deleted by moderator >, without an answer in 7 days since 01/28/2015, the email is below, the title of my course is in Portuguese.  What should I do in this case ?
    Dear Oracle.
    I am sending this email because recently I passed in the exam 1Z0-053 Oracle Database 11g: Administration II, which is the last examination necessary to acquire the OCP Certification. However, in the path to the certification I need to prove that I participated in an Oracle Official Training.
    Searching for the course on the pearson vue site, I have not found the course name on the list. So I am sending this email with the course information required for certification. I attended to the course in college FIAP (http://www.fiap.com.br/en/conheca-a-fiap/parcerias-estrategicas/), in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, from March/2010 to March/2011. Accessing the link above is possible to verify that the educational institution is an Oracle Partner. The title that I got was "Graduate in Oracle Database Management".
    In this email I attached a copy of the FIAP Certified Course (front.jpg certificate, certificate back.jpg). I’m also sending the data from my profile in the pearson vue site (Pearson VUE - My profile.pdf), and my scores in the exams for OCP certification (1Z0-051.pdf, 1Z0-052.pdf, 1Z0-053.pdf ).
    If you need any further information just let me know and I will provide.
    Please acknowledge this information and grant me the OCP certification (Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Professional).
    Regards.
    Italo Moisés dos Santos.
    Oracle Testing ID:  < deleted by moderator >

    Sorry, I expressed myself badly.
    When I access http://www.pearsonvue.com/oracle/course/ and start submission process  of the course, in the first step “Select the track for which you have completed a certification requirement” I selected the option “Oracle Database 11g Administrator OCP”, in the second step I selected “ILT = Instructor Led Training”,  but when I got on the third step “Which course or requirement did you complete?”  I have to choose the course name that I did, the course name that I did does not appears in that list, so I do not know which one to select, even having at the end of the form the option “Other ...(Course or requirement is not shown above. Please enter title below.)” the course name I did is in Portuguese/Brazil, the name is “MBA em gestão de banco de dados oracle” in Portuguese, which in English would look like "Graduate in Oracle Database Management".
    I sent an email to [email protected] containing the information that I found necessary to obtain certification.
    But if I have to do the process in the pearson vue site, should I put the course name in Portuguese or in English ?
    Only the email I sent is not enough ?
    Thanks for the help, and sorry for my english !

  • User Profile email address not updated on Site Collection User Information

    Hi All,
    Ok here we go....SharePoint 2007 with SSP profile sync not enabled, however I have a few profiles I need to update (email address).  This has been completed by editing the user profile in SSP, but when viewing the information via Site Collection >
    People & Groups > User Information "Work E-mail" is still showing the old one.
    All alerts are still being sent to the old email address, SSP DB UserProfile_Full shows the new email address as per SSP.
    Anyone know where else user profile emails are stored which is used by Exchange?
    Many Thanks, Roger

    As per the following post from GuYuming

    After the email address in SharePoint user profile is updated to [email protected], you have to wait until
    they are synchronized into the user information list in SharePoint site collections so that alert can be sent to that address.

  • Alerts are not working for Site collections in a content database

    Hi,
    We have been into a strange issue that alerts are not working for site collections from a particular content database. When user subscribed for the alerts, they are getting mail about their subscription but not after that for any new items/documents added
    or changes happen in the list/document library.
    We have tried with Immediate as well as scheduled alerts both are not working.
    FYI, Alerts for all other site collections from different content database for the same web application are working without any issues.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Noscript does not appear in my add-ons list in firefox 18

    I know the Java plugin is disabled in FF 18 but I tried to install the Noscript add-0n. It says it is installed but after I restart FF, Noscript does not appear in my add-ons list. Windows XP

    Thanks ideato but that's the problem. Noscript is not in the extensions list. I use the terms "add-ons list" and "extensions list" interchangeably. The author of Noscript advises me that the extensions/add-ons list manager must be corrupted.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Airport Extreme connected drive does not appear in Time Machines drive list

    I have two Macbook Pros. Both have 500GB hard drives. I have an airport Extreme with a WD terabyte hard drive and a HP printer attached via USB cable. Both Macbooks can access the WD HD & internet.
    One MacbookPro has time machine set up to use the Terabyte HD as backup.
    I want the other MacbookPro to also use this terabyte drive for backup.
    But when I try to set up Time Machine to use the drive, the drive does not appear in the backup drive list.
    What can I do to fix this? I had a HD crash on the non-backed up Macbook recently. I desperately need it to be backed up!
    Any ideas?

    Does the drive show in Disk Utility? Try a restart.

  • How to add a certificate to IIS global "Server Certificates" list using PowerShell?

    Hi, been surfing the web for an example on how to add a certificate to the "global" IIS "Server Certificates" list using PowerShell but to no luck. I already have code in place on how to tie / associate a specific website with a specific cert but not how
    to add the new .cer file using the "Complete Certificate Request..." wizard using PowerShell.... I dont expect the final code to become published but if someone had an idea on howto integrate / get an entry point on where to interact between the "Server Certificate"
    list in IIS and POSH I would be super happy! :|
    I am runnign IIS on a Windows 2008R2 x64 Standard Edition if that helps..... of course, I would saddle for an CLI if there is no other way, but POSH is of course the way to go! :)
    Thanks for the help in advance guys, take care!

    Hi and thanks for the suggestions!
    Although it comes close, the suggested code example points on howto import / incorporate .pfx files - I am getting fed by .cer files which I need to add into the IIS console using POSH.
    I tried explore the IIS.CertObj object but was not able to work out if this one could be used for importing / adding .cer files into IIS! However, launching the following command from a POSH console with Import-Module Webadministration already
    loaded into that shell;
    $certMgr = New-Object -ComObject IIS.CertObj returns the following error message:
    New-Object : Cannot load COM type IIS.CertObj
