SharePoint 2013 - blog upgrade

Hi,
I did an upgrade of SharePoint 2010 to 2013. Most things work fine, but I have some issues with upgrading a blog. I got these scenarios:
I upgrade the blog in 2010 design, everything works fine, until I make a visual upgrade to 2013. After visual upgrade the blog still seems to be fine, but when I select a category to filter categories, all links are broken. So f.e. I klick a category linked
to "Lists/Kategorien/Category.aspx?CategoryId=15&Name=Firewall" for category "Firewall", all results are linked to "Lists/Kategorien/". Even the categories in navigation are now linked to "Lists/Kategorien/".
To solve this I tried various export/import settings, with features enabled/disabled, but no success. ULS Log didn't show usefull informations at this time. So the Question: Why do I experience this behavior? Any idea to solve this?
I get a different error, when I try to import the blog, when the site collection has publishing feature enabled. Than I don't even can access any blog site, I get an error: sorry that didn't work. On export site is publishing feature enabled, dunno
why I can't just import here.
Hopefully I can get some help here. Best solution for me is to get error 1 fixed, I don't need publishing features. SharePoint 2010 was installation with SP1 and CU august 2012.
Thanks for help

I experienced this issue after removing the Blog Tools web part from the page. Once I added it back, the issue was resolved.

Display count for each category in sharePoint 2013 blog site

Hi,
I have added category list in the left side as web part in SharePoint 2013 blog site.
Here i want to show the count for each category. And on clicking on the category, it should show the blog posts related to that category.
Is there any way to do this.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi Aditi,
To show item counts on a list, you might need to query the list by title in the navigation menu and retrieve item count in the list, then use CSS to add the number to navigation menu. You need to use Client Object Model and JQuery.

Facebook moderator in SharePoint 2013 Blog commenting.

Hi,
I was able to put Facebook commenting in SharePoint 2013 blog but i was not able to see moderator view when i add meta tags in head with my facebook user id.
<meta property="fb:admins" content="{YOUR_FACEBOOK_USER_ID}"/>
is there something extra we need to configure to see moderator view in SharePoint 2013.
Thanks,
M.M

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not able to see the moderator view using the Facebook comments plugin.
You can check with the below meta tag in the header section:
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="{YOUR_APP_ID}">
This will give administrators of your application in-line access

what’s more, as the issue is related to the Social Plugins, if the issue still occurs, you can post your question in the following site.

More experts will assist you, then you will get more information relation to Facebook comments.

SharePoint 2013 Blog Site or Discussion LIst - Comment on a Comment

Hi,
Quick question. Is anyone aware of a plug-in or feature or new blog add-in for SP 2013 that allows "comments on comments". From what I can tell in the blog site and discussion list, you can only comment on the original comment.
You cannot comment on someone else's comment as in a tiered fashion.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Thanks! Patti N.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to be able to comment on someone else’s comments displayed in a hierarchical structure.
In SharePoint 2013, it’s by default that the Discussion Board list’s replies are in the “Flat” view, and it won’t display the replies in a hierarchical structure.
However, the Discussion Board list have another default view is the “Threaded” view, and it can display replies in a hierarchical structure.
Therefore, I recommend that you can directly modify the default view of the Discussion Board list’s replies to the “Threaded” view to achieve your requirement.
For SharePoint 2013 Blog site, as a workaround, I suggest that you also can create a Discussion Board list into it to implement this function.

SharePoint 2013 visual upgrade: Behind the Scene

Hello,
I recently migrated site collection from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. But is not visually upgraded yet. I wanted to create evaluation site collection before actual upgrading. My questions are:
1) Will it create a new Web application?
2) Will it extend a the existing web application?
3) will it create only a new site collection? If yes, will the size of content database become double?
I am worried about the size of content database, as my DB is almost 50 GB and haven't much space left.
any help would be really appreciated.

Hi Rizwan,
Evaluation Site Collections is a new feature in the SharePoint 2013 upgrade story. Evaluation Site Collections lend site collection administrators the ability to try out the 2013 version of their site collection before actually upgrading the production site
collection’s UI and content.
An upgrade evaluation site collection creates an upgraded version of the site in a new, separate copy of the site that is running on SharePoint 2013. Unlike visual upgrade in SharePoint Server 2010, the upgrade evaluation site collection is a complete copy
of the site collection, separate from the original. Actions taken in the upgrade evaluation do not affect the original site.
Evaluation site collections have a default expiration period of 30 days. And the evaluation site collection will also automatically be deleted when its parent production site collection is upgraded.
More information, please refer to the links:

I hope this helps.

Issues with SharePoint 2013 after upgrading from windows 2012 to 2012 r2

We have a Sharepoint with Sp1 environment on windows 2012. Recently we upgraded the windows 2012 to 2012 r2. After the upgrade sharepoint environment is completely unstable.
At first all the sites returned 401 errors. After resolving by resetting the object cache accounts the sites are back.
Then i see that none of the performance point dashboards work. I figured that claims to windows token service is defaulted to local system account. I previously configured with a domain account. I reconfigured to work with domain account.
All the dashboard pages throw error.
Some Error logs:Failed to get document content data. System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Cannot complete this function at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSqlClient.GetDocumentContentRow
Application error when access /Dashboards/Performance Dashboard/Main.aspx, Error=The EnableScriptGlobalization property cannot be changed during async postbacks or after the Init event. at System.Web.UI.ScriptManager.set_EnableScriptGlobalization(Boolean
value)
4. I tried to create a new dashboard and this time the performancepoint designer wont launch. After some troubleshooting i see that c2w host file didnot have the caller C:\Program Files\Windows Identity Foundation\v3.5.
I added <add value="WSS_WPG" /> and now it launches
5. Now the Dashboard launches and peruser identity works without having kerberos enabled at IIS. I have all the spn and required delegations setup for this url . But i did not configure at the IIS level
yet.
It looks like lot of things got messed up and reset. Can we upgrade to windows 2012 r2 with a sharepoint application inplace. what is the recommended approach and Whats happening with Performancepoint dashboards. IS there a known issue with sharepoint 2013
sp1.
Raj-Shpt

Thanks for the above article. Few issues are solved . One of the main issue is with Performancepoint Dashboard.
I have all the spn and required delegations setup for this url . But i did not configure at
the IIS level yet. Still per user identity works without having kerberos enabled at IIS.

Issue with AjaxControlToolkit for SharePoint 2013 Blog site template.

Hi,
Please find below the details of issue -
History - We are working with SharePoint 2013 and we are using AjaxControlToolkit in our project. Basically this is a migration project from MOSS to SharePoint 2013. So we have migrated code MOSS to SharePoint 2013. Previously in MOSS project, AjaxControlToolkit
was used so after migrating we have also used AjaxControlToolkit with updated version which can work in SharePoint 2013. This is working fine now.
Scenario - There is one web application in SharePoint 2013 farm. Under this web application there are two site collections. One site collection is created with Team site template and second site collection is created with Blog site template.
There are three feature in our wsp that we have created. One feature is at web application scope (which will do web.config modifications and it will add below entry in web.config file through SPWebConfigModification in section 'configuration/system.web/compilation/assemblies'
<add assembly="AjaxcontrolToolkit, Version=4.5.7.725, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=28f01b0e84b6d53e" />
). And there are two site collection features.
Now when we deploy our solution (wsp) to web application in SharePoint 2013 farm and activate the Web.Config modification feature which is at web application level, it has added above mentioned entry in web.config file.
Our application in first site collection is working fine which we are expecting but in the second site collection which is created using out of box Blog site template, 'comment box' and Post button are invisible as shown in below screen shot -
If we remove below entry from web.config file -
<add assembly="AjaxcontrolToolkit, Version=4.5.7.725, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=28f01b0e84b6d53e" />
and refresh the Blog site page then the Comment box and Post button is appearing again as shown in below screen shot -
We also tried with updated versions of AjaxControlToolkit (Version=4.5.7.1005 & 4.5.7.1213) but no success.
I will highly appreciate if you could help me in this.
Thanks for your time.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajendra Gaikwad.

Hi,
As you said, the issue only comes with the Blog site template.
I suggest you take a look at this blog about how to make Ajax Control Toolkit work with SharePoint 2013:

Hide option for SharePoint 2013 UI upgrade

Hello,
I just want to know if there is a way to hide the banner which pops up for UI upgrade on SharePOint 2013? We are trying to leave few sites on 2010 UI only.
Thanks,

Hi,
Per my understanding, you want to hide the banner which pops up for UI upgrade as below:
You can add this custom CSS style into the master page, it will hide the banner for all the pages in the current site collection.
<style type="text/css">
#status_preview {
display: none !important;
</style>

Link Title field to custom display form in SharePoint 2013 blog site

Hi,
I have blog site in sharepoint 2013.
I want to display the item in read only view of the selected item.So I have created one custom display form.
Now I want to link this display form with the Title Field.
So that when user click on the title field, the display form should show to view only the item and if the user is approver, can approve also.
Please help me to achieve this.
waiting for your quick response.
Thank you!

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display custom display form when users click on the title field.
For achieving your demand, you need to implement an ihttpmodule and intercept the request. For more information, you can refer to the code as below:
private void context_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
HttpApplication application = sender as HttpApplication;
if (application != null && application.Context != null && application.Request != null)
HttpRequest request = application.Request;
HttpResponse response = application.Response;
if (request.Url.ToString().ToLower().Contains(http://yoursite/libraryname))
response.Redirect(newlocationurl);

Open page in SharePoint Designer.
When the default.aspx page is opened we can see that the web part is actually a XlstListViewWebPart. Taking a look at the XML Definition we can see that there is a field called RowLimit:

Add Columns to Sharepoint 2013 blog post comment form

Hello, I'm trying to customize my blog site and to add two more fields Name and Country when users are posting a new comments. Is there a way to do this in Sharepoint 2013 foundation?
Thank you.

Wendy, Please go through this video from
channel 9 (http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/NickDallett/InfoPath-2010-Customize-a-SharePoint-List-Form) which will uilding froom explain similar form building from scratch.
As per Peter's replay yes you can update form even after add columns in list and you can add extar control like button to your infopath form.
Workflows are usually started when creating or updating an item inside a SharePoint document library.
Open the workflow in SharePoint Designer and under "Start Options' on the workflow's home page, remove the check from "Start workflow manually...". Be sure the check either "Start on create..." or "Start on change...". In
your case I think you would use "Start on create...".
Hope these inputs will help

Customize Sharepoint 2013 Blog Post forms and layout

I have a blog site that will be home to customer call reports saved as posts to the blog. The blog works, but how do I get all the custom columns to show on the blog home page that shows all of the posts. Currently, only the Posted Date, Notes, and Title
field display.

Hi Jim ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display custom columns in your home page posts web part.
Please go to the home page -> Edit Page -> Edit the Posts Web Part ->in the Posts Web Part Settings Page , click Edit the current view -> check the column you want to display and click OK.
The fields are now available to be rendered as part of the current view.
Then we need to create the custom JavaScript file that will render the new fields for the post body. You can refer to the blog:
HOW TO: Add a custom field to blog posts in SharePoint 2013
Hope this helps!
