Project Workspace template in Sharepoint 2010

Hi,
I need some advice from Sharepoint experts, I have Sharepoint 2010 installed and now i want to create a Project Management Site, but when I try to open a new site as a Project Workspace (Project Site) I am not able to locate either templates from the available
list.
Why both templates are missing from my project template list?
Is there any special settings to enable these templates?
Please let me know if any further information needs to be provided.
Please help...

Using a PDF as a Document Template in SharePoint 2010: "New Document" icon and action

Hi,
I have to create a document template in SharePoint 2010 using a PDF. After much searching I have learned to install Reader on the SharePoint server to bring in AcroPDF.dll
and set the OpenControl for PDFs in DOCICON.xml to be "AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments".
After taking these steps I can check PDFs in and out of SharePoint, and edit PDFs as I would edit an MS Office document.
However two problems remain with creating new documents based upon a PDF document template.
1) The PDF icon does not appear in the New Document dropdown. This makes sense since I never referenced a 32x32 icon in the SharePoint config files. Where would I place the icon image file and which configuration file would I edit to use that image file, and how?
The last three document templates are PDFs.
The second problem I face is that when I click one of the document templates above that is a PDF, nothing happens. I have tried this with Acrobat installed on both the client and the server. It would be preferable to insert a copy of the PDF document used as a template without having to use Acrobat at all.
Is there any resolution to either of these problems?

According to what i found the image needs to be 16x16.
See if this works.
Edit the DOCICON.XML file to include the PDF icon
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML
Edit the DOCICON.XML file (I open it in NotePad, you can also use the built-in XML Editor)
Ignore the section <ByProgID> and scroll down to the <ByExtension> section of the file
Within the <ByExtension> section, insert a <Mapping Key=”pdf” Value=”pdficon_small.gif” /> attribute. The easiest way is to copy an existing one – I usually just copy the line that starts <Mapping Key=”png”… and replace the parameters for Key and Value (see image below for example).
Note: Do not take shortcuts and copy/paste from here. 99% of problems with PDF icons not being displayed are due to errors made in the DOCICON.XML file
Save and close the file

How to Save site as template in SharePoint 2010

hello,
I am little bit confused about how I can save a site as a template in moss 2010!
In SharePoint 2007 it was simple > site actions > save site as template... and done!
but I do not find how to make that in the new SharePoint, I would be really happy if someone could tell me how to do that.
I found some tutorial:
To create a Site Template, browse to the Site you want to create from. Go to Site Actions –> Site Settings –> Save site as template (under the Site Actions heading). Give your template a name, and don't forget to check the "Include Content" box if you want to include library and list content in the template. This will create a new site template in your Solutions Gallery, which you can then use when creating new sites. You can also download directly from the Solutions Gallery to a .WSP file.
but the thing is, I do not have the "save site as template" link! I also checked if I need some special site feature activated, but I have all activated.
thank you in advance

I imagine you are trying to save a publishing site as a template, correct? If so, the save as site template link is not available for publishing sites. This was not supported in MOSS and I imagine isn't in SharePoint 2010. The reason was due to publishing sites having pages and layouts tied to content types that do not move with the template.
If you would like a work around, you can disable the publishing feature (which will then make the save as site template link visible), save the site as a template, then re-enable the publishing feature. You would have to re-enable the publishing feature on each new site built from this template, if desired.
Go to Site Actions > Site Settings > Manage site features under Site Actions. Deactive the SharePoint Server Publishing feature, then go back to the Site Settings page. You should now see the save as site template link. After you save the template, turn back on SharePoint Server Publishing.

Custom Property in Microsoft Word 2010 Document Template and Sharepoint 2010 Content Type not Syncing up

I wrote a macro in a Word 2010 template with a custom property called HeaderFooter (a Yes/No value). When the property is changed to No, the header and footer are hidden, otherwise, the header and footer are displayed.
I added the template to a SharePoint 2010 Document library, with a content type DocInformation and a column name HeaderFooterOffOn that I want to map to the custom property HeaderFooter in the Word Document.
The macro isn't working in SharePoint, though, because when the user clicks on the HeaderFooterOffOn in the DIP of the Word Document, the Word Custom Property (HeaderFooter) isn't changing with it.
How do I get these two synced up, so that when the SharePoint column is changed, the Word Document's custom property simultaneously updates with it?

Hi kevinkevinc,
There is no direct way to run macro in SharePoint
As a workaround, I suggest you use SharePoint Event Receiver to run some custom code when column changed.
Here is a similiar thread for your reference:

Drawbacks of customise Sharepoint Alert Email Template in sharepoint 2010

i changed the Pre-defined Alert Template file from this location: %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML\AlertTemplates.xml
How to avoid this new changes to the other sites?
Will it impact all the webapplication?

This is a default template used by all web application and you cannot restrict other web application from using it
Actually you can create your own template and use it for specific web application as per below:

Migrating SP 2007 site which is using the template Project Workspace (Id 6215) to SP 2013

Hi,
We have our SharePoint 2007 with project server installed on it. It is only one server having all of the components including SQL server and SP 2007. We are planning to migrate one of the site which is using the
Project Workspace Template(Id 6215) to the SP 2013 environment using Database
Attach Method.
Questions:
1) Is there any workaround available we can migrate the site to SP 2013 without
installing project server?
2) If there is no other workaround, we may need the justification or supports articles to share with our management.
Looking forward to hearing from you guys.
Regards,
Zulfiqar

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when you tested the database.
I recommend to check if the site template exists in the folder located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\1033\XML.
If yes, then restart the SharePoint machine and run the PowerShell command Test-SPContentDatabase again.
If not, please re-install the template to see if the issue still occurs.
If the sites with issue are no longer needed, then you can delete the sites with issue. Or you can
rename the site template with a standard template id.

Customize SharePoint 2010 Approval without SPD

hello,
i try to customize an approval workflow. I used the workflow template " Approval - SharePoint 2010". Here, I have got two approvers. At the moment, both approvers have to approve a new task, but it would be enough if just one of the approvers gave
an approve. It would be double work for the approvers. My question is: Can i customize this approval workflow without using sharepoint designer?
Thanks!

You cannot customize OOB workflow through SharePoint UI.
You will have to use Designer or Visual Studio for same.

Project Server 2010 / Sharepoint 2010 Permissions not syncing to Project Site

Project Permissions not syncing to Project Site
Project Manager Group
New project is created and published project server sends permissions to Sharepoint which puts users into the following groups:
<dir><dir></dir></dir><dir><dir>
Web Administrator (Microsoft Project Server)
Project Managers (Microsoft Project Server)
Team members (Microsoft Project Server)
Readers (Microsoft Project Server)
At this time the creator/owner, owner’s management, portfolio managers, and executives should all have Project Manager rights on the sharepoint site, and Admins will have Web Admin permissions.
Issue #1: Only the Web Admin permissions and creator/owner permissions are being added to the Sharepoint permission groups
Workaround #1: Going into the project site permissions and adding the
Project Managers (Microsoft Project Server) group manually and the sync will keep the permissions
Workaround #2: Going into the Server Settings, Manager Groups then removing or add all users to the No Permission Group, which forces an sync to all workspaces. Con: This workaround can only be down at night when users are not active since it will
block the queue for at least an hour.
Project Owner Transfer
Previously created project has owner change, once saved and published project server sends permissions to update user’s permission to
Project Managers (Microsoft Project Server) on Sharepoint project site.
Issue #2: When Project owner is changed and project is published the owner is not getting permissions to the Sharepoint project site. However, if owner is also added to the team using the Build Team Feature the sync will give the owner Project
Manager permissions on the Project Site.
Workaround #1: Going into Server Settings, Project Sites, select project and Synchronize. Once this is done, the owner will have Project Manager Permissions without being added to the team.
Users who have been added to this project in Project Server 2010, but not assigned to tasks. Users who have assignments in this project in Project Server 2010 and are contributors to the project workspace site,
meaning that they can create and edit documents, issues, and risks. Users who have published this project or who have
Save Project permission in Project Web App and are contributors to the project workspace site, meaning that they can create and edit documents, issues, and risks. Users who have
Manage SharePoint Foundation permission in Project Web App and are contributors to the project workspace site, meaning that they can create and edit documents, issues, and risks.</dir></dir>

By default when you create project build team add users in the task and publish the project plan then All the User which are available in the project plan including Project owner will go to below mentioned group in project site:
1. creator/owner, owner’s management, portfolio managers, and executives should all have Project Manager will get access to Project Managers (Microsoft Project Server)
2. User who are having team member access to PWA will get Team members (Microsoft Project Server) access if they are assigned to the project task.
3. User who are having team member access to PWA will get Readers (Microsoft Project Server) access if they are not assigned to the project task.
4. Only PWA Administrator will get the access to Web Administrator (Microsoft Project Server)
Sharepoint permission you have to use when you want to give permission manually to users on project site
In the Project Site provisioning setting under Server setting if you have Check to automatically synchronize Project Web App users with Project Sites when they are created, when project managers publish projects, and when user permissions change in Project
Server.
Then all the user get access as per describe above and if you will give access manually to any of the user either in project server group or in Sharepoint group once you will publish the project next time all the manually given permission will go away.
IF you want to give permission to user manually to sharepoint group or project server group then uncheck automatically synchronize Project Web App users with Project Sites when they are created, when project managers publish projects, and when user permissions
change in Project Server.
You check PWA site setting --> Site permission then member of Sharepoint group user who will have access to sharepoint group in PWA site setting site permission will have access to all the project site sharepoint group as Project site inherit permission
from PWA root site.
Both the issue which you have described is behavior of project site.
For issue 2 when first time project owner create and publish the project and projectsite is getting created then porject owner name gets access in the porject manager (project server group) nect time if you will change the owner and publish the project
until he will not present in the project plan will not get the permission.
If you want to give sharepoint permission to users then uncheck automatically synchronize Project Web App users with Project Sites when they are created, when project managers publish projects, and when user permissions change in Project Server and give
the permission manually.
Project site in 2010 has some issue and not full filling customer need some time ,Ms has came up with 2013 which is having tight integration with project sites .
Project workspace security groups are equal to the SharePoint Server 2010 security groups.
Web Administrator equals Full Control
Project Managers equals Design
Team members equals Contribute
Readers equals Read
Users who have Manage
SharePoint Foundation permission in Project Web App and are contributors to the project workspace site, meaning that they can
create and edit documents, issues, and risks will get access to Web Administrator (Microsoft Project Server)

Error creating subsite from template - SharePoint 2010

I appreciate the help from anyone who can help in my situation.
I am trying to create a subsite whose parent is a SharePoint Server 2010 website. When I'm doing that, I go to:
Site Actions > Create > Sites and Workspaces
My purpose is to create a subsite using the "Web Databases > Issues Web Database" template. When I do that, the page tries to create a website for a long time, and when it finishes, the following error message page appears:
Preparing Site ...
Someone has recently made changes to this site and the site is being updated. If the site remains offline for an extended period of time, contact a site owner. Wait
a moment and refresh your browser
However, when I use another template, say "Collaboration > Team Site", such website is created successfully and is fully functional.
Can anybody help me with this issue? My vast expertise in SharePoint extends to one week. I have no idea how to figure this out.
Thank you so much for everything! Have a great year.

you have to create access service application. See below
You have to make sure you did the following:
Created a Access Service Application
(Central Administration – Manage Service Applications – New – Access Services)
Started the Access Database Service
(Central Administration – Manage Services on Server)
then open up the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell, and give the following powershell command: enable-spSessionStateService –DataBaseName <SomeNewDatabaseName>
above command will create a session state database and turns on the session state service.
Refresh your browser and you are all set to go

Cannot create a Sharepoint meeting workspace in a Outlook 2010 meeting request

I am using Sharepoint 2010 and Outlook 2010. I am trying to create a meeting request and also create a sharepoint workspace attach to that meeting request in Outlook.
First I click Create button and then it would let me choose a location for the workspace server in a drop-down box. I chose "other...". After I input my sharepoint site URL in the Workspace Server, Outlook does not recognize the address and a windows
popup saying "The operation could not be completed because of a problem found on the server or the server could not be found."
I checked the thread below and it doesn't solve my problem at all.
There is no reason why this should not be working. I also created a meeting workspace in sharepoint, and can't even link it to an outlook meeting request when pasting the direct link from the browser.
Did Microsoft break this and forget (or not care) to tell anyone?

Hi,
I found a similar thread and someone posted a solution:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154/t/735.aspx
I've quoted the solution and you can try if this fits your scenario:
The issue with Outlook not being able to find a Meeting Workspace is usually due to authentication not being passed correctly. Adding Trusted Sites information to Internet Explorer lets the browser know to allow the authentication to pass.
Open Internet Explorer
Go to: Internet Options -> Security -> Local Intranet -> Sites -> Advanced
Add: *.sharepoint.com , *.microsoftonline.com , *.lync.com , *.outlook.com
Click Save
Then go to Internet Options -> Security -> Trusted Sites -> Sites
Add: https://*.sharepoint.com ,
https://*.microsoftonline.com ,
https://*.lync.com ,
https://*.outlook.com
Click Save
Close Internet Explorer
Open Internet Explorer
Goto login.microsoftonline.com and sign in, make sure "keep me signed in" is checked.
Go back to outlook and the meeting workspace button will work now.
Note Since you are using Sharepoint 2010, in the example above it's SharePoint Online, the URL you need to add is your own SharePoint Site URL. Also login your own page as you should not be using login.microsoftonline.com.

SharePoint 2010- Project Feasibility

Hi all,
I am working on SharePoint Foundation 2010. I have the following requirement in my project.
1) I need to create a list with more than 250 columns.
2) Design custom New, Edit and Display forms which includes all the above 250 columns.
3) Few rows in the display forms should be hidden based on other column values.
4) Approval process is required for each item in this list. this will have two levels of approval i.e., first one would be acceptance from one department and second one would be from business head. mails should be send to respective people
at each stage of approval.
5) Dynamic graphical reports should be created based on the list data which provides data analysis.
Kindly let us know whether this project is feasible on
SharePoint Foundation 2010. If not "is this feasible on SharePoint 2010 server"?

Hello IetShare,
I would use InfoPath for this, you can edit the forms of a SharePoint list.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg180738(v=office.14).aspx
Btw, I would just use 120 columns to store the answers.

Slipstream SharePoint 2010 and Project Server Installation

Hello,
I have my current farm environment with the below configuration
SharePoint 2010 + Project Server which are on SP 2 + Brazil Language Pack
2 WFE
2 App
1 SQL
We are planning to add more WFE and App server in the existing farm. As per my research I found that we can slipstream CU and language pack install.
Would like to know can I slipstream SP2010 + Project server with SP2 along with Brazil language pack in one single go. I did found the article http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c6f60e5e-4f07-4e92-a8de-a32924b00ce5/sharepoint-2010-and-project-server-2010-slipstream-install?forum=sharepointadminprevious
however in this case there was request to setup a new farm but I'm trying to add new server to the existing farm.
Can you please suggest the best approach that can be followed to save time to add the new server to the existing farm using slipstream.
Thanks.

You can do the same per the old thread. Just install SharePoint server, cancel config wizard, install Project Server, cancel config wizard, install LPK, then start Config Wizard and join to farm.
