Target Audience web part property is missing in sharepoint 2013

Dear All,
The "Target Audience" web part property is missing in SharePoint 2013. But this was a feature in SharePoint 2007. Is there any other way of doing this in SharePoint 2013
Thanks,
Dilip

Hi,
Here are the reasons & solutions for SharePoint 2010 audience targeting missing:
1. Enable audience targeting in SharePoint 2010 Site Collection
Go to Site Actions >> Site Setting >> Click on "Site collection navigation" >> under Site Collection
Administration >> Make sure "Enable Audience targeting" is checked.
2. Audience Targeting feature is depending on SharePoint Publishing feature. So, Go to Site Settings >>
Site collection features >> SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure” Activate publishing feature on your site collection.
3. For Audience Targeting, We need "User Profile Service Application"! So make sure the user profile
service application is provisioned and running. Check the status of "User Profile Service" and "User Profile Synchronization Service" . Verify the UPSA is associated with your Web Application, by going to:
Central Administration >> Application Management
Manage Web Applications >> Highlight Your Web Application
Service Connections >> Make sure User Profile Service Application is checked.
Restart IIS!

Hi,
Please try to the code snippet as below:
VisualWebPart1.ascx:
<asp:Button ID="exporttopdf" runat="server" Text="Export To PDF" OnClick="exporttopdf_Click"/>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
VisualWebPart1.ascx.cs:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
protected void exporttopdf_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
Label1.Text = System.DateTime.Now.ToString();

Updating List View Web Part property in page

I have a List View web part (In the page > Add web part > App > document library name). I need to update the TitleUrl property of this web part through C# code.
The SaveChanges() method below works for my visual web parts, but not for the List view webpart. I get an error saying: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation
webpartManager = myPage.GetLimitedWebPartManager(System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope.Shared);webPart.TitleUrl = titleURL;webpartManager.SaveChanges(webPart);
I did a casting as below
XsltListViewWebPart listViewWebPart = (XsltListViewWebPart)webPart;listViewWebPart.TitleUrl = titleURL;webpartManager.SaveChanges(listViewWebPart);
(Please note that casting to ListViewWebpart instead of the XsltListViewWebpart gives a invalid cast exception, which is the reason why I cast it to XsltListViewWebpart)
But I get the error at SaveChanges() method.
An exception of type 'System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException' occurred in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll but was not handled in user code

Tried casting back as below
webpartManager.SaveChanges((System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart)listViewWebPart)
but still the error at SaveChange() is there.
AllowUnsafeUpdates is set to true within this block and code runs in elevated privileges.

Hi Ahamed,
According to your description, there is an issue when you try to update the TitleUrl property of a List View Web Part.
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest you do as the followings:
1. Debug your code step by step and make sure every object and variable is valid.
2. Here is a code snippet about update web part property programmatically:
SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web;
SPFile file = web.GetFile(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.ToString());
SPLimitedWebPartManager manager = file.GetLimitedWebPartManager(PersonalizationScope.User);
System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart webPart = manager.WebParts[this.ID];
((UpdateMeWebPart)webPart).Message = “Test”;
try
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
manager.SaveChanges(webPart);
finally
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;

How to show property bag values of site collection in web part on landing page in sharepoint online?

How to show property bag values of site collection in web part on landing page in sharepoint online - office 365?

You can use JavaScript Client object model to read the property bag values. Example:
function getWebProperty() {
var ctx = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var web = ctx.get_site().get_rootWeb();
this.props = web.get_allProperties();
ctx.load(web);
ctx.load(this.props); //need to load the properties explicitly
ctx.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, gotProperty), Function.createDelegate(this, failedGettingProperty));
function gotProperty() {
var myPropBag = this.props;
alert(myPropBag.get_fieldValues()["allowdesigner"]); //returns the value of the key allowdesigner
function failedGettingProperty(args, sender)
//handle errors here

How to refresh Report viewer web part programatically using C# in SharePoint?

I have used Report viewer web part in SharePoint page, I want to refresh it programmatically. How can I achieve this? I have tried approach mentioned on
http://nicholasfaiello.wordpress.com/2012/12/28/report-viewer-web-part-programmatically-refresh-a-report/ site, but it is not working.

Hi,
How about using JavaScript to perform page reloaded or just trigger the click event of the refresh button with the Report View Web Part? It could be seen as a kind of workaround
for auto refreshing.

Regarding VS Web part Solution Deployment Permission in SharePoint Server other than Admin

Hi,
While deploying the Visual Studio Web part, one error occurred i;e, “Error occurred in deployment step 'Recycle IIS Application Pool': The local SharePoint server
is not available. Check that the server is running and connected to the SharePoint farm.”
Actually we want that two user can deploy their web part simultaneously. One is admin that is able to deploy web part. But another user is facing this problem.
Solution which we have tried:
Make Local admin to that user.
Assign db_owner permission to that user in database.
Add that user in WSS_Admin_WPG group.
Add in Farm administrator group.
But still we are facing the same issue

Hello,
To be able to deploy solution, the user needs to have permissions on SharePoint_Config Database too. (maybe also the SharePoint_Admin database too)

Add Data driven subscription option missing in sharepoint 2013

i have a sharepoint 2013 enterprise version with sql server 2012 standard version. And i want to add Data- driven subscriptions for a document library by selecting manage subscriptions. But in the manage subscriptions Add Data- Driven subscription option
is missing. How can i get the options. is ther any workaround if i am using standard version.

Hi sppanda,
According to your description, you want to use data driven report subscription feature with SQL Server 2012 Standard.
In Reporting Services 2012, only SQL Server 2012 Enterprise and Business Intelligence edition support the data driven feature. So it’s expected that the Add Data- Driven subscription option is missing in your environment. In your scenario, if you want to
use data driven subscription feature, please perform edition upgrade.
Reference:
Reporting Services Features
Upgrade to a Different Edition of SQL Server 2012 (Setup)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Will office web apps preview msg files in Sharepoint 2013

No, OWA does not support msg file types.

Office Web Apps Server Name issue with Sharepoint 2013

I have a POC Lab setup for SharePoint/OfficeWebApps with SSL offloading. I am using IIS reverse proxy for my SSL offloader. Most systems can connect to SharePoint and OWA through the Loadbalancer and create documents as desired. The
configuration is as follows:
DNS points:
sharepoint.contoso.com to the reverse proxy address that handles sharepoint.
owa.contoso.com to the reverse proxy address that handles owa.
My OfficeWebApps farm uses an internal and external url of
https://owa.contoso.com and uses ssloffload.
My SPWOPIBinging connects to owa.sharepoint.com (through the reverse proxy) and is configured with the external-https zone.
The name of the OWA server is nyc-owa1.contoso.com.
The issue is as follows:
If I flush my dnscache before connecting to
https://sharepoint.contoso.com, and then use OWA in sharepoint, my client DNS cache will list sharepoint.contoso.com, owa.contoso.com AND nyc-owa1.contoso.com!
Where is is getting the name of the actual owa server?
If I simulate an Internet client that cannot resolve the internal name nyc-owa1.contoso.com, but only the public names of sharepoint.contoso.com and owa.contoso.com, the client cannot successfully edit a new or existing file with OWA, the browser hangs with
Java errors ('SYS' is undefined etc.)
When I add either the real IP address of the server nyc-owa1.contoso.com OR the reverse proxy address for nyc-owa1.contoso.com to a hosts file, the client works normally.
I would like to know how the client is getting the OWA server's name and how to control that behavior.
Thanks for reading this!!

How to configure search results web part to display results only after a query is generated from user?

Hi All,
I am crawling documents from a file server. I created a new content source and crawled the documents. All documents are crawled successfully.
Then I went to my enterprise search center site collection and created a new result source. I have added the query to use above content source.
After that, on a page I am trying to configure the search results web part to display documents using this result source. Now the problem is:
It displays all the documents that are crawled without searching for anything. I mean first it should not display any results. If a user searches for something , then according to that search it should display results.
Any idea how to do this in the web part? I am using SharePoint 2013 on premise enterprise edition. No code. Totally OOTB.

Hi Mohan,
What did you use for the Query text in the result source?
I could reproduce this issue when I used Query text like: {searchTerms} Path:”http://sps2k13sp/sites/First/Shared%20Documents”
Then I changed the Query to
{?{searchTerms}
Path:"http://sps2k13sp/sites/First/Shared%20Documents"}
, then Search result web part didn’t return results without searching.
So , check your result source, and use the Query like the above(adding "{?...}").
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Need Help ! Content Search Web Part with default callout menu as docoument library

I want the above functionality with the Content Search Web Part(CSWP).

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to create something like a
Content Search Web Part(which is introduced in SharePoint 2013) in your SharePoint 2010 environment with the callout menu functionality.
As there is no OOTB Content Search Web Part in SharePoint 2010, a suggestion is that you can build a custom web part with the help of
Search API and create custom callout menu for it.
Two demos about
how to work with Search API in SharePoint 2010 for your reference:
