SharePoint Blog Post Email receipt

Hi,
I have a SharePoint blog post with predefined categories. Now, we email enabled this post. The emails are being received. However, when a post is received, we are unable to push it into a particular category during the receipt. Is there anyway when
an email is sent to the Blog that it automatically goes into the right category? This issue applies to the community site template as well.
Thanks,
techie

Hi
How the user will send the email , and more specific will set the category?
A workaround
send the email subject as
CATEGORY _ TITLE
where category is the blog's category , next << - >> will be a separator, next the title for the blog post
Also add a new column to your blog list, as [byemail] , type yes, no, default value = YESY
What you have to do is to add a workflow to your blog list, which will start when an item is added ( by email )
it will check if [byemail]=yesy, next will split email subject as category + title, will fill specific fileds in current item, and that's it!
Let me know if you need more details

Sharepoint Blog Post & Comments Export

I have a blog with some posts and each post having some comments. I am moving the post & Comment list from the site to a subsite using Content & Structure.
The Post & Comment lists are moved successfully but in the subsite it shows 0 comments for all the posts. In other words the comment list has been moved but it has lost its link to the Post list.
Can you please suggest how to rectify this

Got the Solution...
When You move the Comment list to the Subsite, the Title Post Column becomes Null, this is the column which actually conencts both the post & the comment list.
Solution : Open the comment list in Edit Datasheet view Change the Post Title Column for all the comments. It will be a drop down populated based on the Post title Just Select and Save the sheet and now check the Bog all the comments will be linked to the
post.

Append to a Blog Posts List

I've noticed various ways to bulk-append to a List in SharePoint 2010 - some seemingly better than others - using Excel and Access. Do y'all suppose it's possible to bulk-append to a SharePoint Blog "Posts" list? There appear to be
some read-only columns that might make this difficult.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you need to import bulk
blogs into SharePoint blog site’s posts library .
For your issue, here is a blog import tool which is available for SharePoint 2010

For more information, you can have a look at the blog:

Customizing the blog post web part to not show entire entries

I have a blog site, and as you know, the posts web part shows the entire contents of each listed post, rather than one paragraph, followed by a "click here to read more" link. I know that there is no out-of-box functionality for this, because of course,
why would there be? Who needs nice looking blogs? Anyway, I found this on the internet:
http://zabistop.blogspot.com/2009/02/customizing-sharepoint-blog-posts-web.html
It knows what's up, but it's outdated and the code doesn't mesh with what I have. Are there any articles similar to this online? I can't be the first person who thought of this, and doing it from the ground up is not an option. I appreciate any help.

In 2010 you can make the same changes using a similar method.
Open the default.aspx page, in code view click in within the blog area. In the ribbon click on the List View tools >design. Click on Customize XSLT in the Actions panel. When you do that you will be able to see all the code.
Find this line of code <xsl:template name="FieldRef_Note_body.Body" ddwrt:dvt_mode="body" match="FieldRef[@Name='Body']" mode="Note_body" ddwrt:ghost="hide">
Approx line 402. It actually looks like </xsl:template><xsl:template name="FieldRef.... so you will have to place your cursor after the template close and hit enter a few times to make space for the code.
Directly above that line, where you have added spaces, include this code. (I cheated and grabbed this code from another site where we did the same thing - and was able to modify it slightly to work for the blog.)

    <xsl:template name="removeHtmlTagsFromField">
     <xsl:param name="html"/>
     <xsl:choose>
         <xsl:when test="contains($html, '<')">
             <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($html, '<')"/>
             
             <xsl:call-template name="removeHtmlTagsFromField">
                 <xsl:with-param name="html" select="substring-after($html, '>')"/>
             </xsl:call-template>
         </xsl:when>
         <xsl:otherwise>
             <xsl:value-of select="$html"/>
         </xsl:otherwise>
     </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
Next below the line ( should be the next line below the pasted code)   <xsl:template name="FieldRef_Note_body.Body" ddwrt:dvt_mode="body" match="FieldRef[@Name='Body']" mode="Note_body" ddwrt:ghost="hide">
Locate the       <xsl:param name="thisNode" select="."/> and paste the following code:
  
<xsl:variable name="textOnlyDescription">
     <xsl:call-template name="removeHtmlTagsFromField">
         <xsl:with-param name="html" select="$thisNode/@*[name()=current()/@Name]" />
     </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
I have already swichted out the select content with the content that was in the xsl line that renders the body content.
Locate the code ( should be 2 lines down)     <xsl:value-of select="$thisNode/@*[name()=current()/@Name]" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
Comment the code out and replace with the following code:
      <xsl:value-of select="substring($textOnlyDescription, 0, 320)" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
      <xsl:if test="string-length($textOnlyDescription)>320">...</xsl:if>
Change the number to your desired length.
Save your file.
You can revert the file if you ever need to, after its checked in, by right clicking on the page and selecting reset to site definition.
Hope this helps. I plan on doing a post shortly covering this and will have screen shots.

SharePoint 2013 (On-premises) - Add @mentions to blog post

Hi all,
I'm having a headache. I need to allow users to add @mentions on comments for a blog post (just like on Newsfeed). I don't find if there is a way to do this out-of-box.
Please, can anyone provide me an alternative? I'm trying to use some jQuery plug-ins but I think it would be great if I don't have to build a custom solution to do
that if SharePoint can do it natively.
Thanks in advance.

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!

Can you set up a subscription service so blog posts are emailed to subscribers

I would like to allow people to sign up to receive my blog posts via email (ie like how they can in blogger etc) but can't see anywhere to do this?
Is it possible?
Thanks

I guess it depends who your targets are - do they have any interest in modern forms of social media or is email even a push for them.
To be able to add a blog post about an important update/thing to do and have it emailed out provides both an easy online place for people to look back over the information as well as the immediate provision of information via email, without me having to both email the people the information and also provide an online back up of that information.
In this case it is creating double the work.
I know I check my email several times a day (OK more than that, lol), social media - facebook - a couple of times a week (so I miss a lot), twitter - nearly never.
How have I found out about most things (personally) in the last two years? - via word of mouth or email.
The market I am working with I would say mostly word of mouth (or frustratingly not enough of that) so am hoping to provide the information via the website and encourage people to check the website more regularly but also know when there is important updates available.
I don't want to have to email out the updates and also blog them for posterity.
It doesn't appear every other blogging software company agrees with you as a subscription service is always available and well utilised.
(oh and I will say I don't think business catalyst was the perfect platform for this site, but I inherited it).

SharePoint 2013 Add Author image in default view of blog post

Hi,
How to add Author Image in the Default view of SharePoint 2013 blog site.
Thanks
ram

Hi Ram,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display author picture in SharePoint blog.
In my test, we can achieve the demand as following steps:
Go to the blog site ->Site Actions -> View All Site Content ->Posts.
In the Posts list, go to List Settings-> click Created By column in the Columns section.
In Additional Column Settings, select
Name (with picture) or Name (with picture and details) for Show field.

Get collaboration content (Discussion Board, Blog Posts, Wikki) last view time in SharePoint 2013

Hi,
How to get get collaboration content (Discussion Board, Blog Posts, Wikki) last view time in SharePoint 2013. I have tried using SPAudit setting but its not returning
list item view time. I have enabled the SiteCollection Audit setting for "Opening or downloading documents,
viewing items in lists, or viewing item properties". I have tried using below code.
SPSite site = new SPSite(siteURL);
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
SPList list = web.Lists[listName];
SPListItem item = list.GetItemById(itemId);
SPAudit audit = site.Audit;
SPAuditQuery query = new SPAuditQuery(site);
query.RestrictToListItem(item);
query.AddEventRestriction(SPAuditEventType.View);
SPAuditEntryCollection coll = audit.GetEntries(query);
Is there any other way to get last view time in SharePoint
2013?? or any changes in above code?
Thanks.

Hi Patil,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get the last view time of any entities in SharePoint 2013
How did you do with using Site Collection Audit?
Below are my testing:
Click Settings->Site Settings
Click Site collection audit settings under Site Collection Administration
On the Audit Log Trimming section, select ‘Yes’ under ‘Automatically trim the audit log for this site?’
On the Documents and Items section, select ‘Opening or downloading documents, viewing items in lists, or viewing item properties’
Click OK
Click Audit log reports, click Content viewing under Content Activity Reports
Then select a location to save a report, click OK
‘Operation Completed Successfully’ displayed, and there is a link ‘click here to view the report’, click it.
Open the report, there were two worksheets in the file. The first one was ‘Audit Data-Table’, it contained the viewing total times. The second one was ‘Report Data 1’, it provided the time when the item was viewed.
Below is a screenshot about my report.
Through checking the second worksheet, we can see which items were viewed and the viewed time. Please have a try.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

How to change the blog posts view when navigating through categories?

Hello, currently I've been struggling for a while with the following problem:
In my SharePoint blog site I have the following default view of posts:
http://s16.postimg.org/yvmu0j51x/Default_site.jpg
When I click on a category, I get the following view of posts:
http://s29.postimg.org/58lm8p993/Category_site.jpg
Is there any possibility to get the same way of showing post as how it looks on the default site? So with Image, with body etc. But then only filtered based on category.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Regards,
Danny

Hi Danny,
No, my result is like:
You can do as the followings:
Edit the page
Insert the Categories list into the page
Insert the Posts list into the page
Edit the Posts web part, and switch the current view to Summary view, click OK
Click Connections->Get Filter Values from->Categories, like the screenshot below:
Provide Field Name:Title, Consumer Field Name: Category
Click Finish
Then you can filter posts based on a category by clicking Select in the first screenshot.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

SharePoint Blog - Restrict to a Single Category

Hi - we're using SharePoint 2013 Blogs to implement a news site. However, we'd like the users to be restricted to only selecting a single category of post.
Can anyone advise on the easiest method to achieve this?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Simon,
Category field can't seem to be modified/configured to only select a single value OOTB from SharePoint 2013 Blog site Posts list, however we can use JQuery to disable the "Add" button when we selected one category value for new
item from NewPost.aspx and EditPost.aspx for the Posts list.
Please go to Posts list then click "Default New From" for editing the NewPost.aspx page then add a"Content Editor" webpart (or "Script Editor" webpart), then paste the following code without any modification, and then save
the webpart and page, then it will work (and repeat for "Default Edit Form" for EditPost.aspx).
If there is any unclear, please feel free to post.
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#PostCategory_38bea83b-350a-1a6e-f34a-93a6af31338b_SelectCandidate").change(function(){
$selected = $("#PostCategory_38bea83b-350a-1a6e-f34a-93a6af31338b_SelectResult");
if ($selected.find('option').length>0)
$button = $("#PostCategory_38bea83b-350a-1a6e-f34a-93a6af31338b_AddButton");
$button.attr("disabled", "disabled");
else
$button = $("#PostCategory_38bea83b-350a-1a6e-f34a-93a6af31338b_AddButton");
$button.removeAttr("disabled");
</script>

Add scrollbars to OOB SharePoint Blog site

All:
I created an OOB SharePoint 2013 Blog site used for news updates. The problem is that on smaller device form factors (e.g. tablets) or when I shrink browser window on the desktop, no horizontal or vertical scrollbars are visible. My users
cannot read or access the blog post info (especially on the right hand side).
How can I enable scrollbars in an OOB Blog site so that viewers can access all of the content?
Thanks,
Bill
Bill Davidson

Hi,
According to your description, when you shrink the browser window or using a tablet, the scrollbars don’t appear.
Is this issue only occur to Blog site but the other site templates?
What version of the browser do you use?
It would be better if you can provide more details about your browser or if there any customization has been made on your Blog site.
Feel free to reply if there any progress.

Blog Post Comments - #comments anchor causing an error on 2nd page of comments

We have run into a problem with blog posts on our SharePoint 2013 on premise installation (15.0.4649.1000). The problem is with the blog on the users' MySites. On the front page of the blog, (https://mysite.url/personal/user_name/Blog/default.aspx),
you are presented with a listing of the blog posts - displayed as a summary view. So, this includes:
- the title (linked to the post ie https://mysite.url/personal/user_name/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=5)
- the publication date
- an excerpt of the post
- the author, the time posted
- the number of comments (linked to the post - but with an anchor to the comment section ie https://mysite.url/personal/user_name/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=5#comments).
If you click on the Title (ie https://mysite.url/personal/user_name/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=5) everything is fine - the problem does not come up.
If you click on the number of comments (ie https://mysite.url/personal/user_name/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=5#comments), here's where things go wrong. The initial page loads fine, but if there are more than 10 comments, you have to go to the next page.
If you click the arrow to go to the next page you get the following error:
Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131904
Correlation ID:20a9f49c-d329-0015-874e-4818b529d673
If I check the ULS logs, this is what I see:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '5#comments' to data type int.
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection, Action`1 wrapCloseInAction)
at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject stateObj, Boolean callerHasConnectionLock, Boolean asyncClose)
at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.TryRun(RunBehavior runBehavior, SqlCommand cmdHandler, SqlDataReader dataStream, BulkCopySimpleResultSet bulkCopyHandler, TdsParserStateObject stateObj, Boolean& dataReady)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader.TryHasMoreRows(Boolean& moreRows)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader.TryReadInternal(Boolean setTimeout, Boolean& more)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader.Read()
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSqlClient.ExecuteQueryInternal(Boolean retryfordeadlock)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSqlClient.ExecuteQuery(Boolean retryfordeadlock) ClientConnectionId:e6cdabb3-a778-4c47-8024-73913a538b51 Error Number:245,State:1,Class:16
So what I think is happening here, is that SharePoint is not stripping the comments anchor (#comments) from the post ID before it queries the database for all comments related to that post. SQL is expecting an integer - in this case "5", but
is instead getting "5#comments".
For the time being we are going to let users know not to click on the comments, but to click on the title instead. But we would like to correct this problem.
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks!

Hi,
In my environment, I do not encountered the error as yours. My environment has installed the 2014 December CU. I recommend you
to install the 2014 December CU or the latest CU for SharePoint 2013.

Can anyone advice of what I have done wrong or missing in my configuration?
Thanks in advance for your comments or advices
Swanl

I tried that but that did not work. I got this error below. Does that mean I need to create a DNS MX record for spmail.domainname.net to point it to the smtp server
spservername.domain.net
Thanks
Xuan
Swanl
It looks like you have a DNS mis-configuration in this case with regards to how your MX record is configured (if it exists at all).
