Move subsite to another Site Collection

Hi,
I'm trying to move a subsite from one site collection to another using the PowerShell cmdlets export-spweb and import-spweb (with the includeusersecurity switch).
This works to an extent, but is missing several important customisations (security groups, custom forms, workflows, site theme). 
Is this the best way to move a subsite to an existing Site Collection?
Many Thanks,
Iain

Many of the items you mention are set at the Site Collection level for all the sites in the site collection.  Trying to move a sub site from one Site Collection to another is not going to be able to move everything.

  • ProjectCenter Webpart on another Site Collection "This Web Part was unable to load"

    Hi,
    Project Server 2013 on an url like http://domain.tld/pwa
    Trying to use the Project Center Web Part from another site collection, let's say http://domain.tld/sites/siteA
    I get the "This Web Part was unable to load" error and in the ULS I get Object Reference not set to an instance of an object classic error
    What am i doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    Thank you for the thoughts Michael but none of those worked for me.    
    What I have done so far is I have added the PWA features to the site which is what has made it work when logged in under the farm account.  
    So I have 3 account I am testing with
    1.) regular account with read only permissions to the Publishing page
    2.) Admin account that is in a group that is a site administrator to ALL sites
    3.) Farm account
    Currently it works for the Farm account and the Admin account but not the regular account.  I have added the regular account to the same group as the Admin account and will test when the change updates to see if I can access the information.  This
    will at least let me know that it is a Permissions issue which is what I think it is I just cant figure out which permission it would need to be.

  • Term-Driven Page with Friendly URL doesn't work with a page in another Site Collection

    Hi all,
    It appears that the Term-Driven Page with Friendly URL does not work when it is referencing a page in another Site Collection. When I set my Managed Navigation to use a term that points to another Site Collection page, the link shows in my navigation, but
    gives the error:
    "Sorry, something went wrong"
    This does not happen if I link to a page in the same site.
    Kelly
    Personal Blog: http://thebitsthatbyte.com

    i got similiar (i am not sure whether the same) issue recently:
    I have a site collection (address http://spserver/) which use managed navigation, and term-driven page with friendly url. The address of the term-driven page is set as /pages/teamsitehome.aspx . A friendly url takes the form such as http://spserver/menulevel1/submenu1
    I create a new site collection http://spserver/sites/newsitecollection and i want it to have the same navigation menu as the other site collection. Since i cannot use the same termset for the two site collection, i have to create a new term set
    for the new site collection, "pin term with chidrem" or "reuse term" to the old term set. The friendly url in newly created site collection and term set takes the form such as http://spserver/sites/newsitecollection/menulevel1/submenu1, and still
    points to /pages/teamsitehome.aspx. Notice that the term-driven page here in the new site collection still points to the old site collection.
    Actually, it works! I mean, when i click the navigation menu, friendly url http://spserver/sites/newsitecollection/menulevel1/submenu1 appears in the browser address. And SharePoint knows to load /pages/teamsitehome.aspx for this url. If this is a simple
    blank page, it just open fine here.
    However, my custom page teamsitehome.aspx calls TaxonomyNavigationContext.Current.NavigationTerm in its page load event, it should returns a valid NavigationTerm for the friendly url. But it returns null here. I traced the code to find that it calles
    internal static NavigationTerm GetNavigationTermFromTargetUrlGuids(SPWeb contextWeb, Guid termStoreId, Guid termSetId, Guid termId, bool includeInheritedSettings, bool enableExclusions)
    The passed in contextWeb points to http://spserver/ , since the term-driven page is in this web. But the termSetId points to the new termset. TermId won't be problem, since its the same in both new and old term set for pinned term. The combination of contextWeb
    and termSetId just make the output NavigationTerm null. I think its simply because the termset is not associated with this spweb.
    My workaround is create a copy of /pages/teamsitehome.aspx in new site collection. The term-driven page address is set to ~sitecollection/pages/teamsitehome.aspx in term management. This time, all works. Just because the contextWeb parameter i mentioned
    above now points to the root web at new site collection, where the term driven page resides.

  • Alternate CSS URL - Error when mapping to another site collection

    I have created a .css file which I have attached on the root Site Collection (https://intranet.domain.com.au) using Site Settings> Master Page> Alternate CSS URL> Specify a CSS... and I have attached
    my file.  So, that all works fine.
    I have then tried to attach this CSS file on another site collection - say
    https://intranet.domain.com.au/sites/Site - but when I browse to this site, I get IE saying
    "Only Secure Content is Displayed".
    I did find a TechNet article saying to change browser settings in Security> Trusted Sites> Custom Level> Display Mixed Content> Enable - but this didn't seem to make any difference.
    I would prefer to map just the one CSS file so that when any changes are made, it replicates to this site collection.
    Any pointers?

    Hi,
    If you would like to apply one CSS file to multiple sites, here are two methods you could use:
    1.      
    Place the css file in layout folder, and apply it in master page
    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/81372/alternate-css-url-point-to-layouts-15-folder
    2.

  • Is there a way for a site owner to copy a custom calendar that resides on a site on one site collection to a site on another site collection?

    A user contacted me about copying and moving information from an old site that is being retired to a new site.
    The most important info is the department calendar.
    I don't see a way to use the "Manage content and structure" functionality to copy or move a calendar from one site collection to another.
    And site owners do not generally have enough permissions to create templates into the gallery.
    Is this just not possible for him to do on his own?
    Thank you for your help!

    I gave up and created templates for the site owner and created the corresponding list for them on the new site.
    I was startled to discover that even though I said I wanted to include all content, the 4 columns that were of type "people picker" did not, for the most part, transfer.
    So the columns will have to be manually entered. But at least the rest of the effort is done.

  • Using Content search web part to retrieve items from another site collection

    I have a web application that contains two site collections(team site + enterprise wiki), with the following URLs:-
    -http://applicationname/teamsite
    -http://applicationname/enterprisewiki
    Now I need to display the latest 10 wiki pages from the enterprise wiki site collection(according to the modified date) inside the team site. So I read that using Content search web part allow for cross-site content query. Currently I added a new content
    search web part , inside my team site, and I click on “change query” button. But I am not sure how I can reference the enterprise wiki site collection's wiki page library and to specify that I need to get the latest 10 wiki pages , inside the following dialog:-
    Basically this setting partially worked for me, I provide the following settings inside the “Build Your Query” dialog:-
    From the “Select a Query” I defined the following:- “items matching content type(system).”
    Restrict by app : “Do not restrict results by app”
    Restrict by content type “Enterprise Wiki Page”.
    This showed all the sites, lists and even pages are based on the “Enterprise Wiki Page” content type. But I am facing these three problems:-
    1. The above setting showed only the sites,lists and pages matching the “Enterprise Wiki Page” content type, that exists on another web application, and not that exists inside the current web application.
    2. To test the web part , I got the following results, But I was not able to add additional info for the items such as created by, modified by ,etc.
    3.  Also there is no way to sort the wiki pages by the modified date, as in the Sorting tab inside the “Build Your query” dialog I cannot find the “modified” inside the Soft by list
    So can anyone advice how to fix these three problems

    Hi,
    1. In "Build Your Query" dialog, we can select "Specify a URL" in
    Restrict by app and enter another site URL.
    2. If you want to add more information for the items, we need customize the display template, the following link for your reference:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/sharepoint_quick_reads/archive/2013/08/01/sharepoint-2013-customize-display-template-for-content-by-search-web-part-cswp-part-1.aspx
    3. In the Sorting tab, we can use "LastModifiedTime" to instead of "Modified".

  • PowerShell Command to export a list of subsites from a site collection

    Is there a Powershell command to export a list of sub sites from a site collection into a .csv file?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that export subsites to excel via PowerShell.
    There is an article about this topic, it will enumerate all the sub-sites and print them in a .csv file, you can refer to them.

  • Extended web application pointing to root site collection, Can point to another site collection?

    I have a web application running on port 443 https with windows authentication, machine name is "localspdev" I have following site collections
    / (Root site collection)
    site1.dev (HNSC)
    site2.dev (HNSC)
    If I browse "https://localspdev" I get root site collection, which is fine. I can browse site1 and site2 as well
    I am extending web application to extranet zone with forms and windows authentication enabled, port is 443, https and host header is "extranet.dev"
    when I browse "https://extranet.dev", root site collection comes up, which I don't want, I can create 1 more extranet
    HNSC but how can I configure "https://extranet.dev" to open/link new extranet site collection?

    Hi Shafaqat,
    When we extend the web application to extranet zone, then the root site collection should be accessed by default with extranet zone URL.
    If you want to configure the URL https://extranet.dev to open the Host named site collection, then you need to set the URL to be the extranet zone URL for the Host named sites collection instead of extending the web application.

  • Restoring departmental sites to departmental site collection

    Initially departmental sites are created as sub site under root site. Only one content database is created for this.
    Now we have file share of more than 1 TB. Because of this we have created site collection for each department.
    Now we want to move each departmental sub site under root to the newly created  individual departmental sites.
    How to go ahead ?
    Can I use stsadmin command for this ?

    Hi,
    You can try to use Export/Inport SPWeb cmdlets for SP2010/2013 or corresponding stsadm operations if you ar with MOSS.
    Here are some resources on the subject:

  • Granting access to SharePoint Designer on a SubSite but not the Site Collection

    Is it safe in SharePoint 2010 to give a user the ability to use SharePoint Designer on a SubSite of a Site Collection and not give them permission, other than Visitor access, to the root Site Collection (Parent Site collection)?
    Most importantly, I want to make sure the only damage a user can do is to their own subsite, and not do anything that will impact the Site Collection. 
    I created a test user and granted it FULL access on a test subsite and only view on the parent site collection and was able to use designer logged in as the test user.  I was able to modify the subsite pages and create workflow.  I was not expecting
    this to work based on the following statement in KB article
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2592376
    Overall, an user needs to be a member of one of the following groups at the site collection
    level to be able to use SharePoint Designer and modify SharePoint content:
    - Site Collection Administrators
    - Designers
    - Owners
    Does anyone have any advice on this?
    Thanks!

    I think I just found out why in SharePoint 2010 I'm able to give a user "Designer" permissions on a subsite and "Read"  only permission on the parent Site Collection root site and they can still use SharePoint Designer with
    no permission issues in the subsite.
    http://suehernandez.wordpress.com/2013/02/15/sharepoint-designer-2010-you-do-not-have-permission-to-do-this-operation/
    From the Article: "Turns out the reason for these varying behaviors is this:  In 2007, new sites would automatically inherit their
    master pages from their parents.  If you made no changes to that, it inherited right up to the top.  So it’s looking at the master page from the top, in those circumstances.  And as we’ve seen here, if you don’t have Design permissions to it,
    it doesn’t work.
    In the case of a new 2010 site (just a regular Team Site), the new 2010 behavior is to use the Master Page in the gallery it has in its own site.  And since the user is an Administrator (Full Control) of that
    site, then no problem getting to the Master Page!"
    Does anyone have any experience with this?

  • Moving a site collection to be a sub site of the same site collection

    Currently I have a publishing site collection of type enterprise wiki, that stores wikis for our HR department. And I added all the current wiki pages to it. But in the future we might need to create another sites for different departments suh as; finance,
    technical, etc.
    So I might need to have the departments represented as subsites of the same site collection.and in this situation I will need to move the current HR site collection to be a sub site of the current site collection. I know that I can move a site collection
    to be a sub site by doing:-
    Export the Site Collection
    Create the New Subsite
    Import the Exported Site Collection
    Delete the Old Site Collection
    But I have the following questions:-
    Is it possible to move a site collection to be a sub site of the same site collection in SP2013, baring in mind that i am using a publishing site. and on this link it is mentioned that it is not possible in SP2010 http://blogs.technet.com/b/stefan_gossner/archive/2009/05/27/limitations-of-stsadm-o-export-import-related-to-publishing-sites.aspx?
    Can I continue with my current approach of having my HR wiki inside the site collection (not as a sub site). And in the future if I need to have the departments as sub sites , I can move the current site collection to be a sub site ?
    Currently I have created new page layouts for the current site collection, so will moving my site collection to be a sub site moves the page layouts using the export/import approach ?
    What are the things I will lose when I move a site collection to be a subsite , in respect to data, page layouts, web parts, etc.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Regards

    It is not possible to export the site collection to a sub site irrespective of what  type of site template you are using. You can only export a sub site and import it to a sub site not site collection to a sub site. If you import a publishing site,
    the pages do not have the correct link to the page layout. The the page is hard-coded to the page layout from the original site. You can use the powershell specified in the below link to fix them
