Web Dev Share Etc.

I started a Full Crawl of Content DataSource and I get this error message: " Access is denied. Verify that either the Default Content Access Account has access to this repository, or add a crawl rule to crawl this repository. If the repository being crawled is a SharePoint repository, verify that the account you are using has "Full Read" permissions on the SharePoint Web Application being crawled " even if I use an account with Full Read permission on that Web Application. I go on Search Server machine for Sharepoint farm, with credential used for Default Content Access Account , and I try to navigate to site collection in that Web Application:  I get error "Access Denied", browser asks me for credential and then "Error 401".. So, the problem was that account used for Default Content Access cannot browse to site collections in Web Application, from the server search. I correct with this post, from Microsoft: " You receive error...

If you want to use html/javascript to change UI language, you can use the script below: (Note: in the page, there is the function OnSelectionChange, so you have to change name if you want to use other feature in) function OnSelectionChange(value) {     var today = new Date();     var oneYear = new Date(today.getTime() + 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);     var url = window.location.href;     document.cookie = "lcid=" + value + ";path=/;expires=" + oneYear.toGMTString();     window.location.href = url; } And in page, set the flags for change language: <a href="javascript:OnSelectionChange(1040)">     <img width="32" height="20" src="/SiteAssets/flag_ita.png" border="0" alt="Italiano"/> </a> <a href="javascript:OnSelectionChange(1033)">     <img width="32" height="20" src="/SiteAssets/flag_eng.png" border="0" alt=...

For italian: For english:

In multilanguage site feature, Sharepoint 2010 does not translate content of web part and metadata. We have to find a way to show to user content or metadata in current language. I used a list with columns with content in language and a lot of jquery to show and hide columns for current language. I have a list with "DescriptionIT" and "DescriptionEN" columns. Then, I set a view with both columns visible. In this view, I added a content query web part whit code below. In this code, I search for current language, i.e. "Italian", then search for column with "DescriptionIT", and hide all columns but "DescriptionIT" (with name starting with "Decsription"). Result is that if I change language (with Select Display Language), I see only column in respective language. Simple and cross platform. Here the code: <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" type=...

Sometimes, you can have trouble with feature upgrade in your site. Especially if you upgrade event receiver, adding new trigger. If you have many sub site using this feature, you can use Power Shell to deactivate and activate feature. This mine: [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint") $rootUrl = "http://[SERVERNAME]" $site = Get-SPSite $rootUrl foreach($web in $site.AllWebs) {   $url = $web.Url   if($url -ne $rootUrl){    foreach($feature in Get-SPFeature -Web $url)    {     $featureName = $feature.DisplayName     if($featureName -eq "FEATURE NAME")     {       "Disable and Enable feature $featureName in $web"       Disable-SPFeature -Identity FEATURENAME -Url $url -Confirm:$false       Enable-SPFeature -Identity  FEATURENAME -Url $url       break;     }    }   } }
