SharePoint MySite and MainSite - Navigation connection

Hi,
So we've followed the best practice on creating a separate web application for MySite...the user profiles.
How do i get the navigation pages to reference the Main site?
Ex:  if I'm looking at my profile the navigation (newsfeed, OneDrive, Sites) all reference the MySite...I want it to Navigate to the Main site and show the Navigation pane on the left of the main site on the Profile page.
Does that make sense?
Larry
Thanks! Larry

Hi LarryC,
What is the Main site? Whether it is a site that you are following.
In SharePoint Server 2013, a My Site is a personal site for individual users in an organization. Although an organization can customize My Sites, by default the top of every page displays tabs for:
• Newsfeed
• OneDrive
• Sites
Newsfeed is the user’s social hub where he or she can see updates from the people, documents, sites, and tags that the user is following.
The OneDrive tab links to the user’s OneDrive for Business. OneDrive for Business is the user’s personal file storage and synchronization service for business use.
The Sites tab lists the sites that the user is following and suggested sites that the user might find interesting. The user can use this to easily keep track of the sites he or she is most interested in.

  • Using Anchor Tag in SharePoint Global and Current Navigation

    I have a site page set up for News articles within our company that get created every month. We are using the current navigation as sort of a list with the corresponding months that the articles were created. So for instance
    Jan
    Feb
    March
    April
    and so on
    What needs to happen is that when a user selects the month, it will scroll down to the #anchor which corresponds to the month.
    When entering the url (http://contoso.com/default.aspx#March) into the current navigation, and hitting ok. The main link remains (http://contoso.com/default.aspx)
    without the anchor tag being kept. Any Ideas?
    Thanks, Danny Hickman IT Support Specialist

    For a start, try adding a content editor webpart to the page where you want the navigation change.
    Edit the webpart and under source editor, copy paste the code below using script tags.
    <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js">
    <script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
    $anchorResults = $('a').filter(function() {
    var txt = $(this).text();
    return (txt.length > 1 && txt[0] == '#');
    $.each($anchorResults, function (index, value) {
    var txt = $(value).text().substring(1);
    var href = $(value).attr('href') + '#' + txt.replace(/ /g, '');
    $(value).text( txt );
    $(value).attr('href', href);
    </script>
    Let me know how it works out!

  • A SharePoint theme to limit the width of the page to 960px (without limiting width of top ribbon and top navigation)?

    I can reduce the width by some CSS inside the page CEWP or Master Page that's fine.
    BUT
    I need a SharePoint theme - which simply reduces the width of the page content to 960px. (Without affecting the top ribbon and top navigation which should stay as they are).
    Any clue how to do that please? Any sample theme?
    Thanks.

    Not sure what you are asking here exactly. By theme, do you mean a design package (masterpage + css)?

  • How to migrate Power View reports and respective BISM connections from one SharePoint environment to another?

    Hello All,
    We have a few Power View reports and respective BISM connections that need to be migrated from our DEV SharePoint 2013 site to our TEST Sharepoint 2013 site. The reports have been "migrated" over but they do not work. Eventually, I just recreated
    all the Power View reports from the BISM connections.
    We have to do one more Sharepoint migration, and I'd rather not have to recreate the reports. What do we need to do in order to migrate the Power View reports seamlessly?
    Thanks,
    Carter

    I created a new BISM in the new SharePoint site with the same name and modified the cinneciton string in the report and uploaded the PowerView Reports ( download from the existing SP site ).
    Please see the below link to modify the connection string in the PowerView report.

    Community Sites offer a forum experience to categorize discussions around subject areas, and connect users who have knowledge or seek knowledge about subject areas.
    And moderator feature is available for SharePoint community rather than NewsFeed. Moderators have higher level privileges than community members, which enable them to view all discussions and replies. Community moderators ensure that members
    enjoy the rewards of community membership, such as finding and keeping in touch with key individuals and staying current on trends and hot topics, while removing content that is inappropriate or detracts from the overall purpose of the community.

  • Sharepoint 2013 MP - Configuration Database connection failed

    Hi all!
    I run a WS2012 R2 with SCOM 2012R2. I'm trying to monitor Sharepoint 2013 Farm, with the Sharepoint 2013 MP. The Sharepoint farm and it's SQL server is on another domain, with two-way trust, and the agents are working on the Sharepoint and SQL servers.
    I use SQL aliases for Sharepoint DB's, so I've made an override to the connection string to make it connect to the correct database. 
    The override is working fine, I can see that SCOM is trying to connect to the SQL server, but I cannot seem to make SCOM use the correct Run As account on these configuration databases. Most of the Sharepoint MP seems to be working fine, with the farm admin
    account, but I don't know how I can force this override connectionString to use a specific user.
    WS2012R2 with SCOM2012R2 UR3
    Sharepoint 2013 Farm on WS2008R2 OS.
    MS SQL 2012 on WS2008R2.
    It uses the default SCOM monitoring account, instead of the Sharepoint RunAs account.
    Any suggestions?
    How do I make it use the correct Run As account?
    (This guy has the
    same problem)
    Thanks,
    Nikolaj

    I was looking at this issue not too long ago, and looked through the management pack xml, to see if there was a missing secure reference for DB connection monitors. I only glanced through the MP, but it looked to me as if the DB connection
    monitors references the same account as the other sharepoint monitors. (Yes, that full-blown farm admin account). Again I am not sure, but it seems the management pack has trouble using the referenced RunAs account in the connection strings and then, because
    the watcher node is setup default to run off the management server, it falls back to the management server action account.
    You mention, that you have a two-way trust between you management group and SPS SQL servers. You could then bring this to work by granting your management server action account public rights on your configuration and content DB’s. Not
    optimal, but it’s a workaround. For SPS 2013 this should work without changing the connection strings, as you would have to with SPS 2010.
    I know this is not solution you’re are looking for, but it just might be enough for you to get a step further. I don’t know of any solution, so far, to get the DB connections to use the SPS RunAs account.

  • Cannot refresh table - test connection works fine but refresh gives "We couldn't refresh the connection. Please go to existing connections and verify they connect to the file or server." error.

    I'm having some difficulty updating a table in my powerpivot data model. The data for the table is stored in a local excel file; if I go to
    Existing Connections select the connection and do a test then everything is successful. When however I try to refresh that particular table I get the following error:
    "We couldn’t refresh the connection. Please go to existing connections and verify they connect to the file or server."
    In the past I had this and it was an authentication issue, the files are stored on SharePoint and I wasn't logged in to Sharepoint - I have however checked this and it can't be the issue because I have other tables linked to other excel files in the same
    location that are refreshing without issue. Can anyone think of what may be causing it?
    I have even tried creating a new local excel with the same data, added it to the data model and then tried a refresh and I I get exactly the same issue. 
    Are there any known issues with refreshing data from an Excel file if, after the initial import, you add columns to the table in the excel file I was wondering if this might contribute?
    Thanks

    Hi Maracles,

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create Parent (Global) and Current (Navigation) on the Same Page.
    You can make quicklaunch work contextually like structural nav quicklaunch using Managed Metadata navigation. Please refer to:
    Managed Metadata Navigation - How do you make quicklaunch work contextually like structural nav quicklaunch?
    In addition, you can used JQuery and CSS to achieve staticlevel left navigation in SharePoint 2013.

  • Print, Export and Page Navigation Buttons in the Report

    When I view a report through CR4E, the generated report has 3 buttons namely Print, Export and Page Navigation buttons. But when I click on either of the buttons I get a &#39;null pointer exception&#39;. This is a critical error as I am unable to navigate past the first page. Do I have to add code to these buttons? If not, why am I getting an error? Kindly solve my problem as soon as possible.

    <p>Looking at your code it appears that you are storing the ReportSource in session prior to passing in the ResultSet. This will create a problem when a postback is made on  the viewer page (which all of the viewer actions do). If you look at the sample code which is generated when you use the JSP Page Wizard you will notice that the ResultSet is passed to the ReportClientDocument object prior to it being stored in session. Then, when the page is called again this object is retrieved and the ReportSource is used by the viewer. You can quickly run the test using one of our sample reports to see what I am talking about. The code below was generated using the Consolidated Balance Sheet.rpt and did not experience any problems doing any of the viewer actions.</p><%@page import="com.businessobjects.samples.JRCHelperSample,<br />com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.CrystalReportViewer,<br />com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.ReportClientDocument,<br />com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.OpenReportOptions,<br />com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKExceptionBase,<br />com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.reportsource.IReportSource,<br />java.sql.Connection,<br />java.sql.DriverManager,<br />java.sql.ResultSet,<br />java.sql.SQLException,<br />java.sql.Statement"%><%<br /><br /><br />    try {<br /><br />        String reportName = "Sample Reports/Consolidated Balance Sheet.rpt";<br />        ReportClientDocument clientDoc = (ReportClientDocument) session.getAttribute(reportName);<br /><br />        if (clientDoc == null) {<br /><br />            clientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();<br />            <br />            // Open report<br />            clientDoc.open(reportName, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);<br /><br />  <br />            {<br />                // **** POPULATE MAIN REPORT ****<br />                {<br />                     // Connection Info for fetching the resultSet<br />                    String connectStr = "jdbc:derby:classpath:/Xtreme";<br />                    String driverName = "org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver";<br />                    String userName = "dbuser";        // TODO: Fill in database user<br />                    String password = "dbpassword";    // TODO: Fill in valid password<br /><br />                    String query = "SELECT CUSTOMER_NAME FROM APP.CUSTOMER WHERE COUNTRY = &#39;Australia&#39;";<br /><br />                    <br />                    String tableAlias = "FINANCIALS";        // TODO: Change to correct table alias<br /><br />                     <br />                    JRCHelperSample.passResultSet(clientDoc, fetchResultSet(driverName, connectStr, userName, password, query),<br />                        tableAlias, "");<br />                }<br /><br /><br />            }<br />        <br />            // Store the report document in session<br />            session.setAttribute(reportName, clientDoc);<br /><br />        }<br /><br /><br />            {<br />                // Create the CrystalReportViewer object<br />                CrystalReportViewer crystalReportPageViewer = new CrystalReportViewer();<br /><br />                //    set the reportsource property of the viewer<br />                IReportSource reportSource = clientDoc.getReportSource();                <br />                crystalReportPageViewer.setReportSource(reportSource);<br /><br />                // set viewer attributes<br />                crystalReportPageViewer.setOwnPage(true);<br />                crystalReportPageViewer.setOwnForm(true);<br /><br />                // Process the report<br />                crystalReportPageViewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, application, null); <br /><br />            }<br />            <br /><br />    } catch (ReportSDKExceptionBase e) {<br />        out.println(e);<br />    } <br />    <br />%><%!<br />// Simple utility function for obtaining result sets that will be pushed into the report.  <br />// This is just standard querying of a Java result set and does NOT involve any <br />// Crystal JRC SDK functions. <br /><br />    private static ResultSet fetchResultSet(String driverName,<br />            String connectStr, String userName, String password, String query) throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException {<br /><br />        //Load JDBC driver for the database that will be queried    <br />        Class.forName(driverName);<br /><br />        Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectStr, userName, password);<br />        Statement statement = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);<br /><br />        //Execute query and return result sets<br />        return statement.executeQuery(query);<br /><br />}%><p>Try using the code generated from the wizard to see if it works for you as well. </p><p>Regards,<br />Sean Johnson (CR4E Product Manager) </p>

  • Integration between InfoPath web forms (browser side), SharePoint 2010, and Word or Excel

    To begin with the end in mind, here's what I need to do:
    User A (employee) fills out infopath form in browser.
    User A saves infopath form, workflow runs, and sends a link to the manager
    User B (Manager) opens infopath form, clicks a button, and all the information from the saved infopath form magically appears in a excel document
    Here's how I did it, because I couldn't find an easier way to do it. This is an InfoPath no-code solution (uses web service and workflow I had to build) and this is working somewhat:
    In InfoPath Designer 2010, created the form from Blank 2007 form template.
    Published the form and promoted fields to Sharepoint 2007 as a new forms library.
    Created a view on forms library to show all fields (SQLExportView1).
    Created SSIS package to import data from SharePoint forms list using the view "SQLExportView1" into a new database and table in SQL Server (tblSQLExport1).
    Created SQL Agent job to run this package every 2 minutes.
    Created workflow to notify manager.
    Created excel document with an external data connection to SQL server.
    In SQL, created a stored proceedure ("spGetCurrentID") to truncate, then add a row to a table ("tblCurrentFormID").
    On InfoPath form, added a button that takes the current infopath form "ID" into a table in SQL server by calling the stored procedure via a web service.
    On Infopath form, added a hyperlink to the excel file which opens in the client.
    In excel, added a button on the workbook that queries the SQL database for the current form ID, and drops it into a cell.
    In excel, added a button on the workbook that queries the SQL database for the sharepoint list details that were exported via SSIS, returning only the row for the current form ID.
    In excel, created a button on the workbook that displays the fields I want in the location I want
    With over 25 users concurrently hitting the form library, there is a chance that when they open excel they will generate an excel document with bad data in it (data from someone else's current ID).
    I've since migrated to SharePoint 2010, and it works the exact same way in 2010.
    What I want to do is find a way to get the data that is already saved in the infopath form DIRECTLY to Excel by clicking a button without the web service, the stored procedure, the SSIS package, the SQL agent job, etc.  My problem has always been
    in getting the data from infopath into RAM/Clipboard/temp file(?) and imported into Excel by bypassing the SQL.
    Of course, I would like to do this without requiring an administrator approved template in InfoPath, and have it be much more simpler to maintain. There are a lot of moving parts.
    Please point me to any examples or make recommendations. The requirement is that users open the form, the data is filled out already, and with a click of a button, the data shows up in excel automatically in the right place for the item they're currently
    looking at in infopath.
    Now that I've got this working (kind of) for one excel document, management wants to add 25 other documents that this one infopath form can generate. 
    Therefore, once I get this to work better for one excel document, I can add other excel documents.
    I've considered passing a parameter to the excel document in Excel Web Services, as I believe that excel web services 2010 can support this. However, I believe that the macros that run in the excel client okay won't work in excel web services 2010.
    Users would prefer to open Excel in the client, though, so not sure I'm going to go down this path.

    Clayton,
    You rock - thank you for all your responses!
    The infopath form was built doing what it does long before the need to get the data into Excel.
    You are correct in that I could have modified the infopath code to save to SQL, but the fields in the form and on the forms library columns do change before and after the manager approves it.  As such, adding some code to submit the infopath data to
    SQL could have been used to write data into SQL server instead of leveraging SSIS/SQL Agent to do so. However the aformentioned workflow (see way up in the thread) does more than just send an email to the manager with a link. It also edits some fields in the
    forms library column on that particular list item. By using SSIS, every two minutes they get the latest stuff from sharepoint into SQL without having to add code in the workflow or - if possible - on the infopath code that does a table update where item=abc.
    It is common to get data from sharepoint into sql, regardless of whether or not it is a list or library (including infopath forms libraries). There is sample code on Codeplex that has been downloaded close to 40,000 times for this purpose which I'm sure
    you are familiar with:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd365137(v=sql.100).aspx and
    http://sqlsrvintegrationsrv.codeplex.com/releases/view/17652
    I agree with you in so many ways on why they should not be using excel (or word) to present the information. Having InfoPath or a custom workflow magically convert the data presented on a specific view in a filled out InfoPath form to PDF and emailing it
    would be wonderful, but it simply is not a possible solution.
    Surely you're familiar with companies that have a word document that, say, a manager will email to someone as an attachment, then the employee prints out the word document, fills it out on paper and signs it with a pen (or fills out a fillable form, then
    prints it), they then either fax it back or scan it and email it back to the manager, who then prints it out and hands it to a VP for a signature, etc.  Yes, the process is very old-fashioned, but in health care, finance, and for legal compliance reasons,
    some places simply have to do their manual processes the way they are. I've suggested and shown examples of how it can all be done electronically with digital signatures, etc., but their legal compliance officers and board members do not agree to this methodology.
    As such, I work within the confines I am presented with, as I'm sure you've had to do as well.
    I myself have worked for several Fortune 100 firms for many years (Microsoft, T-Mobile, etc), know what is possible. However the place I am at now, many of those options simply are not possible.
    They use excel (and word) because that is the templates the legal department and third party companies they work with gives them to work with. 
    If you've used enterprise OCR systems (LaserFiche, OnBase, Hyperion, etc.) you would be familiar with the fact that in order to scan and index keywords from OCR cover pages, the document has to have fields in a certain location. While I have tried to
    get the InfoPath form to line up properly, I cannot print out headers or footers and page breaks where the OCR system requires and expects them to be. What's more: when you print a filled out infopath form that loads browser side, as you know you get the browser-related
    stuff with it. Although they're all on the same web browser (finally - IE8) and all on windows 7 and office 2010, I cannot control the fact that some users use large fonts and other accessability features to make their 21" screens run at 640x480 (exaggeration).
    When you do this, it changes the margins in the print area, and more.
    If I could take the data that is in infopath, merge it with an excel template, and export that to PDF, that could be an option. Not looking to buy some enterprise PDF generating product, though, and looking to do this as close to a no-code solution as possible.
    Why we're suggesting PDF, perhaps we should be considering XPS, since we are staying with the Microsoft technology stack here.
    Perhaps I should rephrase my original question like this:  "I have 25 different documents that all need to be filled out automatically. Each document has different text on it, but the fields that need to be filled out on the documents are almost all
    the same. I want to present one form for users to fill out, and once saved, to generate all 25 different documents. How would you do this?". While not entirely accurate, as not all 25 documents need to be created at once, only on demand with a click of a button
    for each document, perhaps that is a better way of stating the need.
    Thank you Clayton (and all you lurkers out there hoping to find out how we solve this).

  • Unexpected behaviour on SharePoint 2013 and task sync

    hello, i deleted the work management service application due to issues with try to get my tasks to sync, as i deleted it the "sync to outlook" had changed to "Connect to outlook" on my tasks area and i can now sync tasks to my outlook.
    i was under in the impression that the work management service application was needed for tasks sync to occur the reason why i deleted it was due to the error,
    We weren't able to sync your tasks. This could be because your mailbox is on an Exchange server that isn't supported for syncing tasks. Please contact your administrator for more help.
    sync turned off.

    any one help me with some insight into this? and ideally the original error i was getting
    many thanks
    BPDZenith

    The error message you are getting would suggest that you don't have Exchange 2013.  The default task sync only works with Exchange 2013.  But there is a farm level feature that can be turned off to go back to syncing tasks the way it worked with
    Exchange 2010.  Then you can go to a particular task list and use the "Connect to Outlook" button in the ribbon to sync that list with Outlook.

    Hi,
    Please check whether activate the PerformancePoint Services Site Features.
    Or try to increase the max limit for excel services to required level. By default its 10MB and the powerpivot files are much larger. 
    SharePoint Central Administration, and go to Application Management > Manage Service Applications > ExcelServiceApp > Trusted File Locations and click on the appropriate Address. Under the Workbook Properties section you will see a Maximum Workbook
    Size.

  • Sharepoint 2013 and rds

    I need some direction with a implementation plan for sharepoint 2013.  I want to present a common sharepoint interface to my remote users but they will also need to run applications on my network.  will I have to bring up RDS or something
    similar in order to run programs on the remote user side.  Ideally I would like to bring up a web part or app that will make links to executables.  Overall my concept is to present to my remote users a sharepoint interface and no direct access
    to the server environment.
    thanks,
    peter

    Hi peter,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to connect remote users to present a common SharePoint interface.
    Microsfot provides an office tool called Lync. Lync connects people everywhere, on Windows 8 and other operating systems including mobile devices, as part of their everyday productivity experience. Lync provides a consistent, single client experience for
    presence, instant messaging, voice, video and a great meeting experience.
    More information about Lync, please refer to the link:

  • One of the OUs won't appear in Sharepoint MySite

    Hi guys,
    I recently created corporate employee directory in SharePoint Foundation 2010
    I have several OU's in my AD. One of the OU's won't appear in SharePoint MySite but all other OU's will and I can't figure out why.
    Where should I start looking?
    Thanks!

    1. SharePoint Foundation doesn't include MySite. Please clarify.
    2. MySites aren't created for OUs. Or for groups. Or for contacts. Only users.
