finding features in a content database in SharePoint 2010 using PowerShell or tools

Sometimes we have a feature id and we want to know the places where it is active, even as a dummy one. Below mentioned script might be helpful.

SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Search | SharePoint Crawl ExceptionalBehaviour

Security Issues to be taken care while configuring SharePoint Search for Public facing Portals - SharePoint
When search crawler [SPSCrawl.asmx and sitedata.asmx ] comes to a SharePoint site , how it gets to know whether it's a SharePoint site or a normal site ?

There is a custom header defined by Microsoft on SharePoint web applications : Name : MicrosoftSharePointTeamServices ; Value like : 14.0.0.4762

It tells crawler to dig to the item levels in SharePoint Lists , treat target as SharePoint Site.....



What if this custom header is removed on target ? :--> Search crawler will crawl up to list level only . If we use fiddler, while crawling site collection you could observe , there is no call made to SPSCrawl.asmx and sitedata.asmx by the crawler. This web application will no more be treated as SharePoint Website by Search crawl.
Now to make your site secure , you want that hackers may not get these custom headers , but search crawlers need it .
There is a way out , let your search crawl be targeted to a different web application than the public facing one !!!! And on public facing website use <clear /> under http response headers to hide from external world internal server information.

$('#nav a').click(function () {

var myClassLinked = $(this).parent().attr('class');

$('#container > :not(#' + myClassLinked + ')').hide();

feature activation code using powershell does not pick appsettings values

This is a  very common scenario where , our deployment guides tend to be useless with automation just because features are activated well using UI in settings of site/site collection  , but fail using powershell.

Here is the solution to this :


using (SPWeb web = properties.Feature.Parent as SPWeb)
{
SPWebApplication webApp = web.Site.WebApplication;
Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/", webApp.Name);
// App settings are retrieved this way
config.AppSettings.Settings["someAppSettingKey"].Value;

// Connection string settings are retrieved this way
config.ConnectionStrings.ConnectionStrings["someDBConnectionString"].ConnectionString
web.Site.Dispose();
}

Get Dependent files from HTML response

Hi

I am getting response of a page like :

System.Net.HttpWebRequest  request  ...

request.Credentials...

request.Method = ...

request.UserAgent =..

(System.Net.HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

receiveStream = response.GetResponseStream();

readStream = new StreamReader(receiveStream, Encoding.UTF8);

string pageContent = readStream.ReadToEnd();

Now out of this string pageContent    , I want to extract all sub request and make them a hit.   Is there something better than html agility pack for this ?

I usually read it into an htmlDocument Class and the use either GetElementByID or GetElementsByTagname()

 

 

 

string pageContent;

webBrowser1.Document.Write(pageContent);

Dummy Workflow References

Hi

 

•  For my Document Library WorkflowAssociations.Count  is zero.


• For this document Library EnableModeration  is false.


•  Still I can see column in the document Library named "Approval Status".  (internal name   "_ModerationStatus")

When I try to set  EnableModeration  true for this document library , I get exception.

Seems to be some time in the past workflow was enabled on this list / enablemoderation was true . But setting these to negative did not remove Approval Status column.

How I can fix this document library without deletion , so that  future workflows enabled or enablemoderation=true should not give exception ?

User Policy to restrict Form Authentication Users from visitingapplication pages like viewlsts.aspx

• On web application management ( e.g. http://ServerName:CentralAdminPort/_admin/WebApplicationList.aspx) page under central admin , go to Permission Policy :

• Mark the check box which says deny users to view application pages and save.

• Output is :

• Now go to user policies tab for main web application and click on add user :

• Select the zone on which public main application is deployed :

• Under people picker type "ASP.NET Membership provider name" , Permissions : Deny System Pages and click finish :

• Output is like :

Now access few application pages and lists directly to verify with a form authentication user .
