Publishing Content Types from Hub in Bulk

I am able to publish content types from the hub just fine. However, I am in a migration scenario where over 1500 content types are being migrated to SharePoint Online from SP2013. We have successfully migrated these to the content hub, managed metadata stores,
etc. However, when they are migrated, the publish property does not migrate with it.
On-Premises, we could publish all of these with PowerShell so they could be consumed by the syndicated sites. Is there a way to publish all of these so that we don't have to go into each once via the UI?

Depends who you give access too. What I'd consider doing is making a copy of what you consider to be the template for the rest of the content types, save that to a unique category within the list of content types and then build the rest off that. Show the
client how to make changes to JUST that template and in theory you'll be fine.
Or, are the content types in use already?

How to change content type from Document set to Item

While creating content type I've selected Item as a parent but after created I can see its showing Document Set as a parent content type. Now can anyone please suggest if possible I can change the parent content type from Document Set to Item.

Hi,
From your description, I know you want to change content type’s parent after creating it.
There is no OOB method to change content type’s parent after you create it. If current content type has not been used, you could delete it and recreate it with your desired base type. Here are similar cases:

Hide content type from the new menu but show in edit form

SharePoint Online, I have following 4 site content types Word Document Excel document PowerPoint document General document
These content types are being used in a document library and "Word Document" is the default content type, When user clicks on "new" menu, all 4 content types are shown.
I don't want to show "General document" in the new menu but I want to show in edit form, I have marked it hidden in the library settings but now it is not visible in the edit form.
Any idea how can I hide content type from the new button but show in edit form?

Hi,
Whether you use SharePoint online 2013.
If we hide the content type in the library settings, the content type will not be displayed in both new menu and edit form.
To accomplish your qequirement, we need to use css code:
style <style type="text/css">
ul.ms-cui-menusection-items32 li:nth-child(4) {
display: none !important;
</style>
perhaps your environment is different with mine, you need to make a little change to the code.

Publishing Content Type InfoPath Form in different Forest

Hello,
I created new SharePoint Farm in new Forest in our organization. (We are moving current SharePoint Farm to a different Forest. ) I restored Site collections in new farm.
I have custom InfoPath Forms published as a Content Type. I carried data connections to a new farm.
When I'm re-publishing as a content type (update or new), I'm seeing messages below. My InfoPath works without issues, but I'm not happy with these messages. What is the best solution to carry Content Type InfoPath Form to another SP Farm in another Forest?
How can I fix this issue?
Thank You

I understand that you cannot publish a form to a form library as the form template is checked out. You can open the site in SharePoint designer. Open the form library in All Files folder. The template is stored in the Forms folder. You need to check whether
this file is checked out. If yes, you need to check it in. If not, you can try to edit the form template in this way:
Open the form library in browser and open library settings.
Click on the form content type and modify the Advanced Settings for the content type.
Here you can click Edit Template link to edit the form template in InfoPath designer. Try to publish the form back to the library again to see whether the issue persists.

ISO help using SharePoint Designer 2010 to create an External Content Types from a table that has many columns

I am trying to create an external content type for a specific list. The problem is that there are so many columns (more than 200) that I get the error:
The operation(s) generation creates an SQL query which exceeds the length limit in Business Data
Connectivity Metadata Store. The operation(s) will not be generated. Recreate
the operation(s) with less number of columns in the configuration.
I tried turning off a dozen columns and I am still getting this error. I am nearing the limit of the "extra" columns I can eliminate.
What is the actual limit on number of columns?
Thank you.

Hi,
From my research, it seems to be the limitation in response TTL and response size. To confirm
it, would you please check the detailed errors logged in ULS log? <o:p></o:p>
If you identified the threshold has be reached, you may follow this link to increase
the threshold according to your business requirement.<o:p></o:p>

Updating Content Type from other metadata field

Hi.
In the process of creation of metadata fields a customer use a custom metadata field called 'class' to define what type the content are. The field Content Type was leave untouchble. Now they have tons of content in the same folder inside vault cause content server uses the metadata content type to create vault subfolders. What is the best way to eliminate the field class, transporting the metadata to the correct field content type and mantain the correlation of the links to the native files and weblayout files of the content? If I just update the column content type with the data in column class I believe that willl be a mess of broken links. Can anyone suggest anything?
Thank you!

Hi there,
Thought i could not comprehend all that you want, I could get that you have problem with a meta data filed.
Instead of using "Content Type" earlier contributors used "class" and now you want to chagne the "class" field with appropriate value of "Content Type".
This can be done provided the original "class" type was used intellegently by using following steps
1) depending on various values of class(e.g. all document for which class=A) created exports using archiver, also deleted them same time.
2) Import the archiver created in step one and prove an input map for the "class" field to appropriate value as "Content Type"(content type =B)
In this way all content items with class=A would be converted into content type=B.
Hope that helps you.

sapan

Change Content Type Hub URL -- AAM Configuration

Hello, we initially setup our SHarepoint Web Application with Default Zone URL https://sharepoint2.contoso.com. We created a Content Type Hub and configured the URL https://sharepoint2.contoso.com/...... in the Managed Metadata Service Application.
We now changed the URL for the Default Zone to http://sharepoint.contoso.com and the last thing to change now is the URL of the content type hub.
My Question is what exactly will happen when i set the new HUBURI with powershell?
We have published the content types from the hub with the old URL to many site collections and are using them for over 1.000.000 documents. I want to ensure that there will be no impact on the existing content types. Will there be any impact. Will they get
unpublished?

Hi UTTO,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the URL of publishing Content Type hub.
In SharePoint, we should use only one certain zone to publish content type. If you change the URL to http://sharepoint.contoso.com in the Managed Metadata Service Application, you will not publish content
type via https://sharepoint2.contoso.com , and maybe get an error like “No valid proxy can be found”. You should only publish content type via
http://sharepoint.contoso.com .
A similar posts for you to take a look at:

I hope this helps.

SharePoint 2010 Content Type Hub

Hi,
I have a Content Type Hub in the SharePoint Server and it is being subscribed to one of the Web application and it’s site collections.
If I make any changes in existing column of the Content Type in Content Type Hub and subscribe to the required site collection, the changes are not being propagated to libraries columns which are part the attached Content Type from the Conte Type Hub.
But the Content Types are being subscribed and changes are available at Site column of the Subscribed Sites but not in the existing Library level.
If I add the New column in CT hub and the new column appears in the existing Library of the subscribed sites.
Please assist me how can I propagate the Content Type changes from CT Hub to the existing Library of the subscribed site?
Regards,
Vidya Lokesh

It's a known issue.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/b865e6a0-39d8-4aae-9df6-f07ff9d1d96c/content-type-changes-are-not-reflected-in-subscribing-document-libraries?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
MS chose to avoid pushing down to lists and libraries, presumably to avoid people trashing their systems by making silly changes and pushing them down to thousands of lists and libraries.
The only surefire way is to delete the CT from the list/library and re-add it. You could script something up to do that I guess but I don't know of any examples of it floating about.
PS. You're in the wrong forum, this relates to 2010 not 2013, although in this case that's not a major issue.

Incorrect Infopath content type update in form library after modifying Infopath form and publish it

I have an admin approved InfoPath form. I added new fields to that form and mapped those new fields with site columns. After uploading updated published form through CA, I noticed InfoPath Site content type for that form got updated (with newly added fields)
under Microsoft_Infopath group. This content type is also added in form library but somehow the new fields are updated incorrectly for this content type existing in form library (it doesn't show new fields, and shows one new field which is incorrectly
mapped with other column this is happening only in library).
Things I tried:
- Activate/Deactivate that content type feature
- Deactivated feature, removed form from CA, re uploaded and activated feature
- Removed those new fields and published and uploaded InfoPath form and then added those new fields and published and uploaded again.
-Deleted those fields from InfoPath and readded new fields and published and uploaded form but still the problem persists.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Thanks for the response,
But Update all content types inheriting from this type is already checked.
That form library has multiple content types associated with it , different infopath forms get submitted there. What I noticed is that when I change the form and publish it, its corresponding site content type gets updated but the same content type used
in form library doesn't get updated properly. I went to form library and checked that erroneous content type, there were some columns missing and one column was mapped incorrectly. When I clicked on "Parent" content type, it was showing all the new Infopath
fields(updated content type). So I figured that Infopath site content type was getting updated correctly but it was not able to propagate those updates (in a correct way) to the form library. I also tried to edit that content type and tried adding existing
site columns which were missing but surprisingly it was not showing those site columns either, which were mapped from Infopath publishing.
The cause for this behavior is : changes/updates to the Infopath content type are not getting propagated to the form library and this is happening for only one infopath content type but other Infopath content types are getting updated.
I had to delete all the forms using that erroneous content type and then had to delete that content type from the library and then re-added that Infopath content type to the library and this time it was having correct content type (updated columns).
This is not a perfect solution for the production environment, sounds like it is a bug.

How can I get the selected action of content type by javascript from Firefox Options Applications?

I works on my website, and it have to check the PDF file will be opened in which plugins
So we have to implement some javascript to check the selected action of Content Type from Tool>Options>Application
Do we have any javascript code to check this

You can't check this with code that runs on the server or via JavaScript in the web page.
Note that current Firefox version do not expose the built-in PDF Reader via the navigator.plugin array, so if you can't detect a plugin than maybe assume that the built-in PDF reader is used with Firefox version 19 and later.

Orphaned column in a content type

Hi,
We have MMS and Content Type Hub created.
Initially we created a column and added it to a couple of content types in the Content Type Hub and published the content types.
Recently we deleted the column from one particular content type and republished the content type, but still we see the column in the content type in the subscribing site collections New and Old.
Have manually run the jobs "Content Type Hub" and "Content Type Subscriber"

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the content type in the subscribing site collections don’t update immediately.
I recommend that you can try to check and test the things as below:
1. Go to “SharePoint 2013 Central Administration”, click on the “Application Management”, click on the “Manage Service Application”, select “Managed Metadata Service Application”, check the Managed metadata service connection properties to make
sure that the option “Consumes content types from Content Type gallery at <your correct Content Type Hub URL>” and “Push-down Content Type Publishing updates from the Content Type Gallery to sub-sites and lists using the content type” is enabled.
2. Go to “Site Settings”, click on the “Site content types”, select the particular content type, click on the “Manage publishing for this content type”, check the “Unpublish” button and click on the “OK” button, then you need to publish it again.
3. Go to “Site Settings”, click on the “Content Type Publishing” to check the “Refresh all published content types on next update” and the “the Content Type Publishing error log”.
4. Go to “Monitoring” in the “SharePoint 2013 Central Administration”, click on the “Review job definitions”, find the
“Content Type Hub” and “Content Type Subscriber” timer jobs to run again, and check if the two timer job’s status is succeeded.

How to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx?

Dear SharePoint Developers,
Please help.
I need to know How to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx?
I think this is a "sealed column", whatever that is, which is shown in SPD 2013 as a column of content type "document, folder, MyCustomContentType".
I know when I set the column order in my custom Content Type settings page, it is correct.
But, when I load the NewDocSet.aspx page, the column order that I set in the settings page is NOT used for this "sealed column" which is bad.
Can you help?
Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx.
Per my knowledge, if you have Content Type management enabled for the list or library (if you see a list of content type with the option to add more), the display order of columns is set for each content type.
Drill down into one of them and you'll see the option under the list of columns for that content type.
To apply the column order in the NewDocSet.aspx page, you need to:
Select Site Settings, under Site Collection Administration, click Content type publishing. In the Refresh All Published
Content Types section, choose Refresh all published content types on next
update.
Run two timer jobs(Content Type Hub, Content Type Subscriber) in central admin(Central Administration--> Monitoring--> Review timer jobs).

Content Types updates not getting pushed to Lists/Libraries Sharepoint 2013

Hello,
We have updated Content Type at Content Type Hub(ex. Making columns Hidden/Req...etc..). These changes are pushed to the consumer sites site level Content types but the problem is these changes are not reflecting at List/Library level Content type.
Is there a way to explicitly push down the changes ?
Best Regards, Pankaj Rana

http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/52259/how-to-update-a-deployed-content-type
perform the changes to the ContentType make sure to push changes to the lists while updating the ContentType.
For now, you might need to perform some clean-up job here, just to make sure the field is deleted from all the lists, with your Custom ContentType. Use the following PowerShell script for clean-up! Vårsegod :)
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction SilentlyContinue
$site = Get-SPSite "http://your.site.com"
foreach($web in $site.AllWebs)
#iterates through all the Lists
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $web.Lists.Count; $i++)
$list = $web.Lists[$i];
$MyListContentTypes = $list.ContentTypes
if ($MyListContentTypes -ne $null)
$ct = $list.ContentTypes["You Desired Content Type Name"]
if($ct)
Write-Host "In list Content Type and deleting the field" $ct.Fields["You Field Name"].Id;
$ct.FieldLinks.Delete($ct.Fields["You Field Name"].Id)
$ct.Update()
Edit: How to push down changes to all the Content types via SharePoint Server Object Model:
using (SPWeb oWebsite = new SPSite("http://MyServer/sites/MySiteCollection/MyWebSite").OpenWeb())
SPList oList = oWebsite.GetList("MyWebSite/Lists/MyList");
SPFieldCollection collFields = oWebsite.Fields;
string strNewColumn = collFields.Add("MyNewColumn", SPFieldType.Text, false);
SPFieldLink oFieldLink = new SPFieldLink(fields[strNewColumn]);
SPContentType oContentType = oList.ContentTypes["Specification"];
oContentType.FieldLinks.Add(oFieldLink);
oContentType.Update(true);
Edit 2: Update a Content Type using PowerShell:
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction SilentlyContinue
//get the specific Root web
$spweb= Get-SPWeb "http://your.site.com"
//get the fields collection
$fields = $spWeb.Fields
//get the specific field
$field = $fields.GetFieldByInternalName("Name of you field")
//get the specific Content Types from Root Web
$contentType = $spWeb.ContentTypes["You Content Type"]
//delete a field from a Content Type
$contentType.FieldLinks.Delete($field)
//add a field to a Content Type
$contentType.FieldLinks.Add($field)
//update the Content Type and push changes to the children
$contentType.Update($true)http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/42744/how-to-add-a-field-to-a-contenttype-with-feature-upgrade-for-new-and-existing-shttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa543504%28v=office.14%29.aspx
