Use of pages in SharePoint 2010

We would like the user to click on a link on main Team Site that will navigate the user to a page. That page will display a lot of content and will have a Content Query Web part that in turn will retrieve many documents from different library. The objective
is to have users look at some Fast Facts. We plan to create about 5 pages each having a CQWP and showing different Fast Facts content.
Questions:
1. Should we design a wiki page? We don't want users to enter comments, no discussions, no social.
2. What are the alternatives? If not a page, what is another way to meet our objectives?
Thanks so much!
Mayank

You should not use wiki page for this purpose. You should go with blank web part page available in team sites (site pages library).
Check this link for reference:

If you have enabled publishing feature then you can have multiple options in Pages library.

Error while creating folder named "bin" using explorer view in sharepoint 2010

I am getting error when I create a folder in a library named "bin" using explorer view in sharepoint 2010.
When I create folders with other names I don't get any errors.
Please suggest.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an
error when you create a folder named “bin” in a SharePoint library with explorer view.
There are any Microsoft.NET Framework assemblies that have controls or parts that the SharePoint site uses, which are stored in the bin folder. You can remove “bin” from hidden segments, then you can create a folder named “bin”
in the SharePoint library with explorer view.
1.Opened IIS Manager and selected Server name -> Request Filtering -> Hidden Segments tab -> Removed "bin" from there:
2.Perform IISRESET:

Display Doc ID with Link to the Property page in SharePoint 2010

Good Morning.
I have been asked to add the DocID to the search results. Part two is to have that docID link to the property page for the item.
I have added DocID to fetched property's and can display it fine on the page but I am having problems creating the link to the property pages.
can anyone help?
So far I am trying to do this in the searchcoreresults XSL.
I would like the format of the DOCID to appear like this.
[ DOCID ] with the Hyperlink to take you to the item property's page.
thank you.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display Doc ID with Link to the Property page in SharePoint 2010.
SharePoint indexes Document IDs as a managed property by default, which means that with a little magic, we can add the Document ID into the search results.
We need to modify the XSL so that we display the Document ID in the search results.
Here is a great article for your reference:

Change Master page of a site using ECMA Script in sharepoint 2010

Hi All,
I'm working on SharePoint 2010.
I have a requirement where in I need to create a site and apply a particular master page to the newly created site using
ECMA Script.
The site gets created but while applying the master page it gives me an error stating the method 'set_masterUrl' is not defined.
Here is my code:
$(document).ready(function () {
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(createSite, "sp.js"); //This is used to ensure until sp.js is loaded, createSite will not be executed.
function createSite() {
var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var collWeb = context.get_web().get_webs();
var webCreationInfo = new SP.WebCreationInformation();
webCreationInfo.set_title('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_description('Description of new Web site...');
webCreationInfo.set_language(1033);
webCreationInfo.set_webTemplate('STS#0');
webCreationInfo.set_url('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_useSamePermissionsAsParentSite(false);
var oNewWebsite = collWeb.add(webCreationInfo);
context.load(oNewWebsite);
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess, onfail);
function Onsuccess() {
dummy(context, oNewWebsite);
function onfail(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
function dummy(context,oNewWebsite)
var strMasterPageUrl = '/_catalogs/masterpage/Test.master';
oNewWebsite.set_masterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.set_customMasterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.update();
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess1, onfail1);
function Onsuccess1() {
alert("Done");
function onfail1(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
Please help.
Thanks,
Sachin

The issue is coming because the scope of context and oNewWebsite is not available in your success method. Try to modify the code as below and see if that helps.
$(document).ready(function () {
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(createSite, "sp.js"); //This is used to ensure until sp.js is loaded, createSite will not be executed.
var context = null;
var oNewWebsite = null;
function createSite() {
context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var collWeb = context.get_web().get_webs();
var webCreationInfo = new SP.WebCreationInformation();
webCreationInfo.set_title('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_description('Description of new Web site...');
webCreationInfo.set_language(1033);
webCreationInfo.set_webTemplate('STS#0');
webCreationInfo.set_url('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_useSamePermissionsAsParentSite(false);
oNewWebsite = collWeb.add(webCreationInfo);
context.load(oNewWebsite);
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess, onfail);
function Onsuccess() {
dummy(context, oNewWebsite);
function onfail(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
function dummy(context,oNewWebsite)
var strMasterPageUrl = '/_catalogs/masterpage/Test.master';
oNewWebsite.set_masterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.set_customMasterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.update();
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess1, onfail1);
function Onsuccess1() {
alert("Done");
function onfail1(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
The other way is to use this.context and this.oNewWebsite. To see how you can modify your code have a look at the following link.

How to print calendar for the year with one month a page in sharepoint 2010?

Currently, I can print a SharePoint 2010 calendar one page at time when the month view is displayed. Is there an easy way to print all the months at once with one month on each page?
Thanks for any tips!

I can't vouch for it but a useful looking CodePlex project might help with this.
If you've permissions to install it and test, have a look at this. It does mention Calendars specifically too.
http://spprintribbonbutton.codeplex.com/
I'd be interested in your feedback for this one.

Error while connecting to external SQL table using BCS identity in SharePoint 2010

Hi all,
I am working on SharePoint Foundation 2010. I have a stand alone setup. Now I am trying to connect to a SQL table in another server. I have used SharePoint Designer to connect using BCS. I have selected "BCS Identity" for authenticating with SQL
in the external content type. then I created a list with this external content type.
I get the following error upon opening the external list.
Login failed for user 'INYKGW\sp_farm'.
I am confused. how do I solve this error.
any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi letShare ,
Whether the account 'INYKGW\sp_farm' is current user account or a service managed account?
Could you please provide detail error message of ULS log to determine the exact cause of the error.
For SharePoint 2010, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS
Also please have a look at the blog :

Advanced Search using conditional & logical operators+ sharepoint 2010

Hi Team,
We have an requirement something like this. we have to search values from Custom SharePoint List using Conditional & Logical Operators in SharePoint 2010. how can i achieve this ? if some one has worked on something like this, can you please share the
details to my email id ([email protected])
Thanks in Advance.
Cheers, San

Hi Santhosh,
If you have only one list, then you can use CAML query to perform search in that list. You can write code to generate dynamic CAML based on selection in the filter.
If have to perform the search function on multiple list then you can use Search object model and create dynamic query and execute it using Search OM.

Use xlsm Format in SharePoint 2010?

I have a excel document with xlsm format (Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook, excel document containing VBA source code) and I wonder if I can upload it into SharePoint 2010 enterprise to display the powerpivot graph and of course use VBA code in Excel Service
in relation to SharePoint Business intelligence?

Hi,
according to a Microsoft Blog Post says the following:
One additional note about VBA. Excel Services 2007 didn’t support loading *.xlsm files at
all because such files are meant to contain macros and files with macros would not load. Now that the SharePoint 2010 version of
Excel Services knows how to ignore VBA macros, I am happy to say that also means *.xlsm files can now be loaded in Excel Services.
You will find the original blog post here: http://blogs.office.com/b/microsoft-excel/archive/2009/11/19/excel-services-in-sharepoint-2010-feature-support.aspx

Dynamically Link OneNote Page to SharePoint 2010 Page Viewer Web Part

I'm trying to display a OneNote page within a SharePoint 2010 Page Viewer web part whereby the OneNote page can be edited by users with read/write permission, but not having any success.
I was able to save the OneNote page as a web page (.mht) file and display it as a static page within the SharePoint Page Viewer web part.
Any suggestions on how it can be done would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm afraid there might be no way to integrate OneNote with SharePoint as your requirment. Sorry.

How to get previous published versions of publishing pages in sharepoint 2010?

Hi all,
I have to get last published version only if effective date(custom column) is changed. So i have to check two conditions one is whether it is published or not and other is effective date is changed or not. If effective date is changed get the last published
version and copy this version and move to other library.

6.1(draft), effective date 05/20/2013
7.0(published), effective date 06/20/2013
Here i have to get 6.0 published version, copy and move to other library.
So how can i achieve this one. what's the best way to do this? either workflow in SPD / VS2010 or event receivers. Please guide me.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Emir,
Your code works fine. It does copy the previous version page to another library. But when I attempt to edit the copied page it throws an unexpected error. I traced down the ULS log and I found the error saying. Could you help me to overcome this error?

Issues using Project 2013 with SharePoint 2010

I'm a SharePoint Admin and a few users have come to me with issues related to checking in Project 2013 files. The scenario they describe is this:
Project 2013 file is saved and checked in to a document library
User opens the file and selects edit from the dialog menu.
The time the document is open varies, from a few minutes to over an hour
User is logged in as [email protected]
They can close the file, select check in, and update the file in the library
Once they try to open the file again, they are given a message saying that the file is checked out to server\user and asks whether they want to view a read only copy
Saving is disabled because it is read only
If the user tries to close the file, they are given the option to check in the file
Sometimes the file will check in and other times it will not.
Has anyone run into issues like this before?

Hi CjMOrr85,
Second time when you open the project file, which option do you select. "Read-only" of "Check-out to Edit". If you are using "Check-out" option, you should not have any issues.
Happy troubleshooting....

Facebook like profile page in SharePoint 2010/2013

Hi techies,
I got a requirement to create a user profile page similar to facebook.
Please let me know the approach to go about it.
Any help will be appreciated

Getting familiar with the MySites part of SharePoint 2013 might be a good place to start. This has more enterprise social features than previous versions of the product.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff382643(v=office.15).aspx

Customize Access Requried page with code behind attached to it in sharepoint 2010

Hi,
I have modified default AccessDenied page to my custom accessdenied.aspx page and put Request Access button on it and javascript client side redirection to my requestaccess (reqestaccess.aspx, reqestaccess.aspx.cs) application page.
Here the problem is whenever i try to redirect to custom requesaccess page in _layouts it again shows me accessdenied page since user is not having access.
I changed requrestaccess to my custom requestaccess through Powershell command (UpdateMapping - 5). I can only modify the UI part of requestaccess.aspx and can not bind code behind where i want user to select combination of what access is required
on the site, there are lots of controls on requestaccess page e.g. dropdown that fetches data from list\external list and so on.
I tried many things to attach code behind to requestaccess page e.g. <%@ Page Inherits="codebehind.cs" /> and all.
Q - How can i redirect user to custom request access page (includes both aspx, aspx.cs) and allow user to interact with custom page? Is there any way OR WORKAROUND to do this in Sharepoint 2010?
OR
Can we overide with ElevetedPermissions in UI\CodeBehind and show the application page to user?
OR
Can user access application page even though they donot have rights to access site? Anything will do.
OR
In short, I need to redirect a user to some .aspx\.aspx.cs page from AccessDenied page, irrespective of user having access or not.
I hope question is clear enough to understand the issue. :)
Regards,
Rahul

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had an issue about the custom Access Required page.
Microsoft supported using code behind, but for these pages it seemed some difference.
However, as a workaround, we can put all the functionality to the aspx page directly.

Create a custom Master Page in SharePoint Foundation 2013

Hi,
I am new to SharePoint foundation.
I am trying to create a custom master page and save it as template, so that i can use it for all other sub sites. But i don't know where to start. Also i tries searching in Google, i got results for share point and not for share point foundation.
So, Please give me a step by step procedure or a link to step by step procedure on how to create a master page, save it as template and use it for a sub site.
Thanks in advance,
Gowtham R

Few points to note related to SharePoint Master page:
You don't need to create master page template. If you deploy your master page in site collection level you can reuse the same master page in subsites without copying again and again, rather just by referencing
You have not mentioned how you are going to deploy your master page. If you have any Visual Studio (VS) solution already, try to add your master page in the VS solution and deploy your master page (and other branding components) as SharePoint WSP
solution.
Deploying master page will not activate the master page, you need to use some kind of 'Web Level Feature' to activate your branding - the feature will basically set the master page property of SharePoint site to your custom master page.
Please follow the links below for steps by steps instructions (and you will find many just by googling 'sharepoint master page visual studio'):
