Sharepoint 2010 - Associate Workflow to List with Power Shell

-
I create a new Workflow Template (globally reusable) in root site and I associate it to a List in a Site Template.
But I need to update each sub site (created from my Site Template) with the new Workflow.

I use PowerShell, to cycle each subsite and associate WF to content type list.
This is command I used:

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint")
$site=Get-SPSite "http://sharepoint_root_site"

foreach($web in $site.AllWebs){
   $list=$web.Lists["MyList"]
   $taskList=$web.Lists["Workflow Tasks"]
   $historyList=$web.Lists["Workflow History"]
   $ct=$list.ContentTypes["MyContenType"]
   $culture=New-Object System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US")
   $wfTemplate=$web.WorkflowTemplates.GetTemplateByName("wfTemplate", $culture)
   $associationWF=[Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPWorkflowAssociation]::CreateListContentTypeAssociation($wfTemplate, "MyWFInSubSite", $taskList,$historyList)
   $ct.WorkflowAssociations.Add($associationWF)
   $ct.UpdateWorkflowAssociationsOnChildren($true,$true,$true,$false)
}

It helps me for massive update.

Sharepoint 2010 - Enable/Disable Ribbon Button with EcmaScript

-
I show you a detailed example of how to enable and disable a ribbon button according to the current user’s group. The example uses “EnabledScript” attribute of the CommandUIHandler of the ribbon button. Then the EnabledScript is built with EcmaScript to find groups and user info. Lets Start with creating a Ribbon button first. 1. Create a empty project. 2. Deploy it as a Farm solution. 3. Right click on the feature and click “Add feature”. 4. Right click on the project and add a new “Empty Element” item. 5. Next add the below code to add a custom Ribbon button to your document library. <Elements xmlns=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/” > <CustomAction Id=”ButtonForGroupUsersOnly” Location=”CommandUI.Ribbon” RegistrationId=”101″ RegistrationType=”List” Title=”Owners Group Button”> <CommandUIExtension> <CommandUIDefinitions> <CommandUIDefinition Location=”Ribbon.Library.ViewFormat.Controls._children”> <Button Id=”Ribbon.L...

How to show different quick launch menu items in different pages? The quick launch in Sharepoint is an object common to all pages of the site. To show menu items according to the page you visited, I followed client side method with javascript (jquery). Here's how, using Sharepoint Designer 2010. On css stylesheet of the site, I added this instruction, which hides all the items in the Quick Launch: . s4-ql ul.root> li { display: none; } Then, make note of the position of the menu items in the quick lanuch: eg. 0 - Document Libraries 1 - Lists 2 - MyLink      0 - MySubLink1      1 - MySubLink2 3 - MyOtherLink 4 - MyLastLink The pages follows the following rules: Page1 shows 0,1,4 Page2 shows 0,2,3 Page3 shows 0,2 (and sub ​​links 1), 3.4 And now, I change the master.page, adding references to jquery and inserting the following code: //get all items in the quick launch var li_nav = $(".vertical-menu>ul>li"); //get...

Sharepoint 2010 - Migrate List-based Workflows between Sites and Site Collections

-
Thank you Gavinmckay, you saved me! From his blog:  http://gavinmckay.wordpress.com/2011/08/29/howto-move-or-migrate-sharepoint-2010-list-based-workflows-between-sites-and-site-collections/ I’ve experienced this issue a lot when trying to migrate workflows between test SharePoint 2010 farms and production farms, in particular with workflows attached to lists. When moving a workflow to another site collection or server farm, the association to the list is broken and the workflow cannot be attached to the list. You also cannot use SharePoint designer to fix this via the standard methods as the unattached workflow cannot be reattached to the list. List-based workflows are tied to three different lists – the “main” source list where the data is held (such as a Forms library or custom list), a task list, and a workflow history list. The latter in particular is tricky, because it is a hidden list and cannot be viewed via the normal interface. The fix for this is to modify the sou...
