Issue Applying Simple Links In SharePoint 2013

Having recently migrated a site from 2010 to 2013, I have now started enhancing existing pages whilst adding new one's also.
However, I am unable to add basic links to either text or graphics in 2013? This is frustrating and bizarre.
Typically, I create a thumbnail image and host it on the appropriate SharePoint page, then copy the URL of the page I want it to point to, then add the link to the image, using the
Link feature in the ribbon.
Simple? You would think so.
However, in 2010 it worked without issue. In 2013 it permits me to perform the aforesaid actions. (I even use the
test link feature which confirms the link is correct, yet after saving the page, clicking on the thumbnail thereafter, the links points to the typical
The webpage cannot be found page.
I've not experiened this before. Having tried all obvious options I cannot currently apply links to either text or graphics in 2013 which is greatly impacting my project work.
Any ideas or suggestions very welcome.

Hi Sen,
What is the url when link redirects you to the typical The
webpage cannot be found page ?

How to give link to SharePoint 2013 document library column to open its form?

Hi All,
I have Infopath document library form, now i want to give link to a specific column to its own item. How to achieve this? Thanks in advance!

Hi Sam,
To make the custom field to act as the Name field in the list view, I recommend to use JSLINK to achieve what you want.
Below is the code example for the js file:
(function () {
var overrideCtx = {};
overrideCtx.Templates = {};
overrideCtx.Templates.Fields = {
'Services': { 'View' : CustomLink }
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(overrideCtx);
function CustomLink(ctx){
var link = ctx.CurrentItem["FileLeafRef"];
var value =ctx.CurrentItem["Services"]
var html="";
if(value!="")
{var html= "<a href='"+link+"'>"+value+"</a>";}
return html;
After writing the js file, you need to upload the file to SharePoint and then refer to it in the list view web part.

Export to PDF Issue (SSRS 2012 with Integration SharePoint 2013)

Problem Description: We have an operational report that returns around 43,000 records, based on a stored procedure. The Stored Procedure itself runs pretty quickly (under ~15 seconds).The report renders in 20 seconds.
However, we get an error like “Sorry, something went wrong” (see below) approximately 2 minutes after we choose/select the PDF as a rendering extension for export. The download of the .PDF never starts.
Sorry, something went wrong
An unexpected error has occurred.

Things Also Done
1) I also tried exporting the report through excel and found no issues (it exports successfully and no issue when i open the file). The size of the exported excel (.xlsx) is 4.28MB. The timerendering value for export to excel is approx. 77 seconds.
2) I also tried creating email subscription (PDF as the rendering format) for that report and it works successfully. The size of the attached PDF from the email is approx. 1.43 MB. I can also open that PDF file with no issue. And the size of the email with
the attached PDF file is approx. 1.48 MB.
That all said, we would like to seek for your assistance to determine what is causing the failure of exporting the report to PDF issue directly from the reporting site. (Let me remind you that the email subscription for the same report with attached
PDF works with no issue)

Hi roel2000,
According to your description, you get error when exporting the report into PDF. It works properly when exporting in excel or PDF format within E-mail subscription. Right?
In Reporting Services, the Excel and MHTML(e-mail subscription) render extensions are soft page break renderers. The PDF render extension is hard page break renderer. It has different render behavior between these two kind of renders. This might cause the
error. Since we are not clear about your report structure, please refer to rules in the link below and do the troubleshooting.
Rendering Behaviors (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Add read more link SharePoint 2013 blog site

Hi,
I have blog site in SharePoint 2013. I want to add "Read More" link for all the blog post.
I found a lot of solution by manipulating through the layouts folder in 15 hive directory.
But I have no access to the 15 hive directory.
Is it possible through JavaScript or j query ?
Please share your suggestion.
Thank you

Issues opening Acrobat pdf's in SharePoint 2013

In SharePoint 2007, once I checked a pdf out and clicked on it, the pdf opened in Acrobat and I could edit it as necessary.
However, I am having an issue opening pdf's in SharePoint 2013. When I check the pdf out and click on open, the pdf opens in Word Web app. How can I get SharePoint to open the pdf in Adobe? I have researched and looked at all of the settings I could and haven't found anything.

Yes, it is possible.
About Philip point. Once installed, office documents will be opened in web apps by default - you can change it by activating site collection feature called "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default". After this setup, users will opens office document
in their client applications as they've been used to before, but they will have additional option to open office documents right in their browsers (through web apps) through item context menu.

SharePoint 2013 Snippets usage advice and help

SharePoint 2013 Snippets usage advice and help
I am new to SharePoint Site development. I am creating a simple public website to look similar to their old one.
I have created a masterpage that looks OK using the design manager, and also a page layout. I have got the website looking half OK.
I seem to have difficulties all the time when it comes to snippets - and finding specific help on how to use each individual one.
So the main question - where would you advise I go to get help?
The current snippet issue is:
> regarding to top navigation menu
> I have inserted one into the masterpage - and got it working
> However it will not let me do submenus when I go into Edit Links
> But I then went to site settings and did the edit links from there
> It let me there - but it's a different menu !! (I now have two)
> I can't see this second menu from within the snippets - it defaults to one that does not allow sub menus
> So how do I change the snippet to look at the menu I was able to edit
But more generally - when I get this kind of issue, where to I look for the solution?
Thanks in anticipation

Sharepoint 2013 - Which Server Should Run Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service

We have just deployed Sharepoint 2013 and also CRM 2011..
Our Sharepoint 2013 Environment has a WFE and an APP server and we have a CRM 2011 box.
We have been getting the following error in IE when Users in CRM are clicking on the Document Link under accounts which links to Sharepoint 2013
"This Content cannot be displayed in a frame
To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame."
It seems like it is a IE Security Issue, but I am suspecting it could be the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service.
Which server should be running the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service| WFE or APP.
Also which server should run the Windows Service: SharePoint User Code Host
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Please have a look at the following post:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219591.aspx
As it describes, the recommendation is for both services to start it on the Web Front End servers.
Cheers,

SharePoint 2013 Unable to open in Windows Explorer

Hello,
I have been working on this issue on and off for the past few weeks, with no success. I have a Windows 2012 VM with SP 2013 installed, and using an SSL, and Windows 8 client using IE 11.
I cannot get the Open with Explorer to work, whether using (on the Files tab) Upload Document->Upload Files using Windows Explorer Instead, or the Library Tab, Open with Explorer. I get this message: "We're having a problem opening
this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and try again."
Here are all of the items I have checked, and double-checked:
Site is in Trusted Sites
WebClient service is started
Desktop experience windows feature is installed on client and server
I am not sure what else to try. This really impacts the usability of SharePoint for our site. Any assistance in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Building a prototype in Sharepoint 2013

I would like to build a simple prototype in Sharepoint 2013. I spent 8 huors now trying to create a site template in a site collection residing in a web application. Almost everything I do fails. Sharepoint takes orever creating web applications, it takes
forever creating site collections, it refuses to crating pages stating that there is other pages with the same name, it refises to delete those copies, but states they are deleted.
I would suggest that Microsoft takes a time out and try to figure out how to define a minimum level on bugs and 'errormessages'. It's inhuman to not let users create a simple web page within a day.

Hello Tommy,
Sounds like you have some trouble with your environment. Can you check Health Analyzer, maybe there are some issues that need to be resolved?
Otherwise another option would be to create a SharePoint online environment by signing up for a trial of Office 365.

How to connect SharePoint 2013 and Reporting Server - SQL Server 2008 - in native mode

Hi,
We are running Report Server on a SQL Server 2008 environment in NATIVE mode.
We just installed a SharePoint 2013 environment. The SharePoint roles are installed on a single server and we are using a seperated SQL Server 2012 server.
The goal: Display reports created on the Report Server in SharePoint 2013.
The problem: I cannot get the two environments connected.
I've read a dozen or more blogs but are currently more confused then before.
What are the steps I need to take to connect the two environments?
What options do I have in displaying the reports in SP2013 - do the reports need to be on the Reporting Server or can I add them to a document library... or are there other options?
Thnx!

Websites don't open in new tab on SharePoint 2013 pages

Hello,
I have Open in new tab checked in the page editor for a link on SharePoint 2013 page. When the page is published, the link does not open up at all. I have to do a right mouse click and select "Open in a new tab" manually. I am
using IE 11.
Anyway there could be something to get this to work with IE? When use the page in Google Chrome, the website opens up in a new tab. Not with IE.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Paul

I am editing links on a webpage on a SharePoint page. I am in the content management system on SharePoint 2014. I have check out the page and in the editing mode. I have highlighted a link on a page and can edit the link. There is an option to select
"Open in a new tab". This is an internal SharePoint site, our intranet. Client OS are Windows 8.1.
I have read that it could be the Pop-Up blocker or the Protect mode for intranet. I will check those out.

NLB for SharePoint 2013 farm ?

Hello All,
I have a very simple three-tier SharePoint 2013 farm which its architecture consists of: (1 DB Server, 1 Application Server, and 1 Web Front-End Server) which all are running on Windows Server 2008 R2.
I now need to add another (Second) Web Front End server.
Steps that I know:
A) Following the installation instructions on: (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc261752(v=office.15).aspx), especially: Connect to a server farm page: Connect to an existing server farm.
B) Question-1: After completing the installation steps, Should I run the SharePoint 2013 Products Configuration Wizard on the Application server (The server that hosts Central Administration)? Or, No need to do so?
After that, I will have 2 Web Front-End servers, and I will need to configure load balancing. I found some articles to set up load balancing on a SharePoint farm using the OOTB Windows Server network load balancing (NLB) feature.
Question-2: Is this adequate and powerful enough? Or, Do you recommend any other third NLB solutions (Reasonable price)?
Thank you !

You do not need to run the Config Wizard on the App server. Windows NLB isn't great. It doesn't know about service status (e.g. if IIS is up or not), but it will 'do the job' for a few hundred to low thousands of users. Load balancer appliances are not
necessarily cheap, but BigIP products are popular.

Unable to import Thesaurus in SharePoint 2013 - Failed to start the flow

I am having issue with importing Thesaurus into SharePoint 2013. I have tried with seed file on local and remote server without success. On ULS stack, it lists "Cannot start flow. The admin service is unavailable". But if
I retrieve status of search topology, it lists admin components (running on two app server) are active. Any idea how this could be resolved or direction I can head to?

Hi,
Please check if it is related to the primary search host controller, make sure it is enabled for the farm, then check results again.
$searchApp = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
Get-SPEnterpriseSearchLinguisticComponentsStatus -SearchApplication $searchApp
Get-SPEnterpriseSearchHostcontroller
Import-SPEnterpriseSearchThesaurus -SearchApplication $searchApp -Filename \\sp\custom_thesaurus.csv
