SharePoint 2013 Hosting – HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Do a SharePoint 2013 Search using REST and JavaScript ?

Jun 3rd

This post will guide you how to do a SharePoint 2013 Search using REST and JavaScript. This example shows the way to do a search using the SharePoint 2013 REST API. during this sample we are going to produce a page with a search box that displays results in a grid. to get started, produce a new SharePoint-hosted app. Then, you need to grant permissions to the App to use a search.

Develop the project using the subsequent method within the NAPA Tool

On your Developer site, open the “Napa” office 365 Development Tools then select Add New Project.
Select the App for SharePoint template, name the project create site then select the create button
Replace APP.js with the following source code below.
Publish Your App.

The following is an important procedure to be done before creating the app. Specify the permissions that your app needs as in the following. Choose the Properties button at the bottom of the page. In the Properties window, choose Permissions. In the Content category, set the Write permissions for the Tenant scope. In the Social category, set the Read permissions for the User Profiles scope. Then, close the Properties window.

Now, edit the Default.aspx to add the HTML for our search box and button as well as a div tag to hold the results. Write the following code:

<div>
   <label for="searchTextBox">Search: </label>
   <input id="searchTextBox" type="text" />
   <input id="searchButton" type="button" value="Search" />
</div>    
<div id="resultsDiv">
</div>

<div>

<label for="searchTextBox">Search: </label>

</div>

</div>

Now, you should edit App.js to include your script to query the search and display the results. Add a click event handle to your document ready function. Then, write the following code:

   var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
          // This code runs when the DOM is ready and creates a context object which is needed to use the SharePoint object model
   $(document).ready(function () {        
       var spAppWebUrl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPAppWebUrl'));
              $("#searchButton").click(function () {
           var queryUrl = spAppWebUrl + "/_api/search/query?querytext='" + $("#searchTextBox").val() + "'";
                  $.ajax({ url: queryUrl, method: "GET", headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" }, success: onQuerySuccess, error: onQueryError });
       });        
   });        
   function onQuerySuccess(data) {
       var results = data.d.query.PrimaryQueryResult.RelevantResults.Table.Rows.results;       
       $("#resultsDiv").append('<table>');        
       $.each(results, function () {
           $("#resultsDiv").append('<tr>');
           $.each(this.Cells.results, function () {
               $("#resultsDiv").append('<td>' + this.Value + '</td>');
           });
           $("#resultsDiv").append('</tr>');
       });
              $("#resultsDiv").append('</table>');
   }        
   function onQueryError(error) {
       $("#resultsDiv").append(error.statusText)
   }        
   //function to get a parameter value by a specific key
   function getQueryStringParameter(urlParameterKey) {
       var params = document.URL.split('?')[1].split('&');
       var strParams = '';        for (var i = 0; i < params.length; i = i + 1) {
           var singleParam = params[i].split('=');
           if (singleParam[0] == urlParameterKey)
               return decodeURIComponent(singleParam[1]);

HostForLIFE.eu hosts its servers in top class data centers that is located in Amsterdam (NL), London (UK), Paris (FR), Frankfurt(DE) and Seattle (US) to guarantee 99.9% network uptime.

The customers can start hosting our Drupal site on our environment from as just low €3.00/month only.

Drupal is an open source content management platform powering millions of websites and applications. Thousands of add-on modules and designs let you build any site you can imagine. Drupal 7.37 Includes bug fixes and small API/feature improvements only (no major new functionality); major, non-backwards-compatible new features are only being added to the forthcoming Drupal 8.0 release. If you are looking for the right Windows ASP.NET Hosting provider that support Drupal 7.37, we are the right choice for you.

The 7.37 update also includes fixed a regression in Drupal 7.36 which caused certain kinds of content types to become disabled if we were defined by a no-longer-enabled module, removed a confusing description regarding automatic time zone detection from the user account form (minor UI and data structure change), allowed custom HTML tags with a dash in the name to pass through filter_xss() when specified in the list of allowed tags, allowed hook_field_schema() implementations to specify indexes for fields based on a fixed-length column prefix (rather than the entire column), as was already allowed in hook_schema() implementations, fixed PDO exceptions on PostgreSQL when accessing invalid entity URLs, added a sites/all/libraries folder to the codebase, with instructions for using it and added a description to the “Administer text formats and filters” permission on the Permissions page (string change).

SharePoint 2013 Hosting – HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Add Promoted Sites Programmatically in SharePoint 2013?

This article will explain you about How to Add Promoted Sites Programmatically in SharePoint 2013. We encountered another problem some days ago wherever we tend to wished to add promoted sites to our User Profile Service application -> My site Settings -> Manage Promoted Sites using PowerShell. Before continuing, we must always understand what promoted sites are. For promoting some of the sites to all or a specific user group, we will use Promoted sites. The following steps shows how to add promoted sites to Central Administration manually.

Go to “User Profile Service application” –> “My Site Settings” –> “Manage Promoted Sites” under Central Administration as shown in the below picture:

Then, choose the “New Link” and fill in the required details for the Promoted Site as shown in the following picture:

Save the Promoted link and go to “Sites” navigation added on Top-Right within the SharePoint page. you may be able to see the recently added promoted web site as shown within the following picture:

You can also add the promoted site using the “Manage” link available, as shown in the below picture:

Now, write the following code to promote Sites link using server-side C# code:

SPSite siteColl = new SPSite("http://abc.com/");
using(SPSite ElevatedsiteColl = new SPSite(siteColl.ID))
{
SPUser newUser = ElevatedsiteColl.RootWeb.EnsureUser(@
"mydomain\user");
SPServiceContext serviceContext = SPServiceContext.GetContext(ElevatedsiteColl);
PromotedSitesViewWorker.AddSiteLink("http://abc.com/test1", "test1", "test desc1", string.Empty);
}
Now, you need to add references and the following using statements.
using System.Reflection;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.UserProfiles;

The following PowerShell Snippet will add promoted sites.
Add - PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" - ErrorAction SilentlyContinue;
$site = Get - SPSite "http://abc.com/";
$currentUser = [Environment]::UserDomainName + "\" + [Environment]::UserName;
$serviceContext=Get-SPServiceContext $site
$spuser=Get-SPUser -Web $site.RootWeb.Url -Identity $currentUser
$imgUrl="   ";
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load("
Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal, Version = 15.0.0.0, Culture = neutral, PublicKeyToken = 71e9bce111e9429c ");
[Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.UserProfiles.PromotedSitesViewWorker]::AddSiteLink($serviceContext,$spuser,"
http: //abc.com/test1","test12","test 12 decription", $imgUrl);
