SharePoint 2016 Hosting – How to Disable Mobile Browser View Across Sites In SharePoint Server 2016?

Nov 3rd

Posted by Peter in European Sharepoint Hosting

In this review, I will tell you about how to disable Mobile Browser View Across Sites In SharePoint Server 2016. Device channels were introduced in SharePoint 2013. Device channel allows us to map the created device channel to a device, based on its user agent and target custom master pages, specifically to the device. Thus, we can have one master page for iPhone while a different one for Blackberry and so on.

However, when we try to specify a master page for the device channel, we will get the below warning if Mobile Browser view is not disabled.

Now, we can disable Mobile Browser View feature across the sites in a site collection by running the below script in SharePoint 2016 Management Shell.

    $SPWebApplication = Get - SPWebApplication - Identity "http://SharePoint2016"  
    $SPSiteCollection = $SPWebApplication | Get - SPSite - limit all  
    foreach($SPSite in $SPSiteCollection) {  
        $SPWebs = $SPSite | Get - SPweb - limit all  
        foreach($SPWeb in $SPWebs) {  
            Disable - SPFeature - Identity "d95c97f3-e528-4da2-ae9f-32b3535fbb59" - url $SPWeb.URL - Confirm: $False - ErrorAction SilentlyContinue  
        }  
    }

$SPWebApplication = Get - SPWebApplication - Identity "http://SharePoint2016"

$SPSiteCollection = $SPWebApplication | Get - SPSite - limit all

foreach($SPSite in $SPSiteCollection) {

$SPWebs = $SPSite | Get - SPweb - limit all

foreach($SPWeb in $SPWebs) {

Disable - SPFeature - Identity "d95c97f3-e528-4da2-ae9f-32b3535fbb59" - url $SPWeb.URL - Confirm: $False - ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

}

Now, Heading over to the Features section, we can see that the Mobile Browser View has been disabled.

Now, we can successfully specify the master page for device channel, as you can see on the following picture:

SharePoint 2016 Hosting Spain – HostForLIFE.eu :: How To Solve SharePoint 2016 Error Installation

Feb 10th

Posted by Matthew Gilbert in European Sharepoint Hosting

In this post we will discuss how to resolve “Configuration Failed Error” while installing SharePoint 2016. This error usually comes when you run your SharePoint product configuration wizard and after giving your database details. This error also comes if you are trying to run create configuration database by using SharePoint 2015 Management Shell.

The Error

The error comes when we tried to run the New-SPConfigurationDatbase command from the Management Shell. The full command was like this:

New-SPConfigurationDatabase –DatabaseName SharePoint_Config –DatabaseServer WIN-JC2B1V15KM5 –AdministrationContentDatabaseName SharePoint_Content –Passphrase (ConvertTo-SecureString Qwerty@12345 –AsPlaintext –Force) –FarmCredentials (Get-Credential) -localserverrole SingleServerFarm

And the error came as like below:

The Solution

The account which we were using does have proper permission, so it was not able to create the configuration database. The below permission is required to create configuration database:

Dbcreator
SecurityAdmin
SysAdmin

When we gave proper permission and then try to re-run the PowerShell command, it runs successfully and also when we run the product and configuration wizard, we would not get the issue.

SharePoint 2016 Hosting – HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Improve Site Collection’s Performance

Sep 22nd

Posted by Matthew Gilbert in European SharePoint 2013 Hosting

Fast Site Collection Creation is a mechanism designed to improve provision performance of Site Collections where provisioning is simply a copy operation which happens at the Content Database level.

Step 1

Firstly, to enable the Fast Site Collection Creation for a template, you would need to run the following PowerShell Command:

Enable-SPWebTemplateForSiteMaster -Template “STS#0″ -CompatibilityLevel 15

1	Enable-SPWebTemplateForSiteMaster -Template “STS#0″ -CompatibilityLevel 15

The above command is Template Specific, so you need to run the similar command to enable fast site creation on all those webtemplates that you need to include in the process of fast site collection creation.

Step 2

Next, create a SiteMaster in one of the Content databases. A SiteMaster is like a empty site collection that preserves the settings (from the template it was created with), that will be needed for the new Site Collection to be created. It preserves the Features to activate on copy of the site collection, template setting etc. To Create a SiteMaster, you need a Content database and a fast site creation enabled template that it will be created using. Let’s get the DB where we have already provisioned a site collection:

$DB = Get-SPContentDatabase -site http://sp2016vm:4430/sites/team

1	$DB = Get-SPContentDatabase -site http://sp2016vm:4430/sites/team

Now, create a SiteMaster in it:

New-SPSiteMaster -ContentDatabase $DB -Template “STS#0″

1	New-SPSiteMaster -ContentDatabase $DB -Template “STS#0″

You can also use Get-SPSiteMaster to confirm if the SiteMaster has been created in a particular database.

Similarly, you can use Remove-SPSiteMaster to remove the SiteMaster from your Content database.

Step 3

inally, provision a new site collection using CreateFromSiteMaster parameter:

New-SPSite http://sp2016vm:4430/sites/FastSite1 -ContentDatabase $DB -CompatibilityLevel 15 -CreateFromSiteMaster -OwnerAlias “sp2016\sp16_farm”

1	New-SPSite http://sp2016vm:4430/sites/FastSite1 -ContentDatabase $DB -CompatibilityLevel 15 -CreateFromSiteMaster -OwnerAlias “sp2016\sp16_farm”

Site Collections are now created by copying at Content Database level with Fast Site Collection Creation enabled. The Feature Activation that usually happens during regular Site Collection creation does not occur.

SharePoint 2013 Hosting :: How to Retrieve All Groups Using REST API in SharePoint 2013 Root Site ?

Jun 10th

Posted by Peter in European SharePoint 2013 Hosting

Today, we will discuss about How to Retrieve All Groups Using REST API in SharePoint 2013 Root Site. In this example we are using the following method in the NAPA Tool. On your Developer web site, open the “Napa” office 365 Development Tools so select Add New Project. Now Select the App for SharePoint template, name the project produce web site so select the create button. And then replace APP.js with the subsequent source code. After that, publish Your App.

These are important steps to be done before creating the app.
Specify the permissions that your app needs as within the following.
Choose the Properties button at the bottom of the page.
Within the Properties window, select Permissions.
Within the Content category, set the Write permissions for the Tenant scope.
Within the Social category, set the read permissions for the User Profiles scope.
Close the Properties window.

Now, write the following code:

'use strict';  
var hostweburl;  
var appweburl;  
// Get the URLs for the app web the host web URL from the query string.    
$(document).ready(function()   
{  
    //Get the URI decoded URLs.    
    hostweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter("SPHostUrl"));  
    appweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter("SPAppWebUrl"));  
    // Resources are in URLs in the form:    
    // web_url/_layouts/15/resource    
    // Load the js file and continue to load the page with information about the folders.    
    // SP.RequestExecutor.js to make cross-domain requests    
    $.getScript(hostweburl + "/_layouts/15/SP.RequestExecutor.js", retrivegroup);  
});  
//Retrieve all of the folders from root Site    
function retrivegroup()   
{  
    var executor;  
    // Initialize the RequestExecutor with the app web URL.    
    executor = new SP.RequestExecutor(appweburl);  
    executor.executeAsync({  
        url: appweburl + "/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/sitegroups?@target= '" + hostweburl + "'",  
        method: "GET",  
  
        headers: {  
            "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose"  
        },  
        success: getGroupsSuccessHandler,  
        error: function(err) {  
            alert("error: " + JSON.stringify(err));  
        }  
    });  
}  
  
function getGroupsSuccessHandler(data)   
{  
    var jsonObject = JSON.parse(data.body);  
    var Groups = document.getElementById("RetriveGroups");  
    if (Groups.hasChildNodes())   
    {  
        while (Groups.childNodes.length >= 1)   
        {  
            Groups.removeChild(Groups.firstChild);  
        }  
    }  
    var results = jsonObject.d.results;  
    for (var i = 0; i < results.length; i++)   
    {  
        var allgroups = document.createElement("option");  
        allgroups.value = results[i].Title;  
        allgroups.innerText = results[i].Title;  
        Groups.appendChild(allgroups);  
    }  
}  
  
//Utilities    
// Retrieve a query string value.    
// For production purposes you may want to use a library to handle the query string.    
function getQueryStringParameter(paramToRetrieve)   
{  
    var params = document.URL.split("?")[1].split("&");  
    for (var i = 0; i < params.length; i = i + 1)   
    {  
        var singleParam = params[i].split("=");  
        if (singleParam[0] == paramToRetrieve) return singleParam[1];  
    }

SharePoint 2013 Hosting UK – HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Acces Sharepoint Data using JavaScript Object Model

Apr 6th

Posted by Matthew Gilbert in European Sharepoint Hosting

In this post, I will provide details for you to access SharePoint data with JavaScript Object Model. JavaScript Object Model has different syntax together, I will cover common tasks of a SharePoint to get familiarity in accessing the objects. Files that are referred for JavaScript Object Model are:

<script type="text/ecmascript" src="/_layouts/SP.Core.js" />
<script type="text/ecmascript" src="/_layouts/SP.Debug.js" />
<script type="text/ecmascript" src="/_layouts/SP.Runtime.Debug.js" />

Now, I will show how to Access SharePoint Data using 2 easy ways:

How to Access SharePoint Website

The following code explains how we can access SharePoint Website:

var siteUrl = '/MySiteCollection/mysite ';
 
function getMyWebSite() {
    var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext(siteUrl);
 
    this.WebsiteObj = clientContext.get_web();
 
    clientContext.load(this.WebsiteObj);
 
    clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onGetSucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onGetFailed));
}
 
function onGetSucceeded(sender, args) {
    alert('Site Title: ' + this.WebsiteObj.get_title() + ' Site Decription: ' + this.WebsiteObj.get_description());
}
 
function onGetFailed(sender, args) {
    alert('Site Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + 'n' + args.get_stackTrace());

var siteUrl = '/MySiteCollection/mysite ';

function getMyWebSite() {

var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext(siteUrl);

this.WebsiteObj = clientContext.get_web();

clientContext.load(this.WebsiteObj);

clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onGetSucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onGetFailed));

}

function onGetSucceeded(sender, args) {

alert('Site Title: ' + this.WebsiteObj.get_title() + ' Site Decription: ' + this.WebsiteObj.get_description());

}

function onGetFailed(sender, args) {

alert('Site Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + 'n' + args.get_stackTrace());

We have to give only site collection relative url for getting the site object. clientContext.get_web() gets the web object and clientContext.get_site() is the method used to get site collection object.

How to Get SharePoint Data List

The following code explains how we can access SharePoint data list:

var siteUrl = '/MySiteCollection/mysite';
 
function getMySiteListData() {
 
    var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext(siteUrl);
    var empList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('EmpInfo');
 
    var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
    camlQuery.set_viewXml('<View><Query><Where><Geq><FieldRef Name='Department'/>' +
        '<Value Type='Text'>HR</Value></Geq></Where></Query><RowLimit>10</RowLimit></View>');
    this.empListItems = empList.getItems(camlQuery);
 
    clientContext.load(empListItems);
 
    clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onListDataSucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onListDataFailed));        
 
}
 
function onListDataSucceeded(sender, args) {
 
    var empInfo = '';
 
    var listItemEnumerator = empListItems.getEnumerator();
 
    while (listItemEnumerator.moveNext()) {
        var oListItem = listItemEnumerator.get_current();
        empInfo += 'nEmp ID: ' + oListItem.get_id() +
            'nEmployee Name: ' + oListItem.get_item('Title');
    }
 
    alert(empInfo.toString());
}
 
function onListDataFailed(sender, args) {
 
    alert('List Data fetch failed. ' + args.get_message() + 'n' + args.get_stackTrace());
}

var listItemEnumerator = empListItems.getEnumerator();

while (listItemEnumerator.moveNext()) {

var oListItem = listItemEnumerator.get_current();

empInfo += 'nEmp ID: ' + oListItem.get_id() +

'nEmployee Name: ' + oListItem.get_item('Title');

}

alert(empInfo.toString());

}

function onListDataFailed(sender, args) {

alert('List Data fetch failed. ' + args.get_message() + 'n' + args.get_stackTrace());

}

I hope this post is helpful for you. Good luck and happy coding!
