Customizing SharePoint 2010 Social Tags: I Like It | Tags & Notes

G Vijai Kumar — Fri, 28 May 2010 09:20:32 +0000

When I was customizing the SharePoint 2010 V4.master I found the Social tags I Like It and Tags & Notes which are new in SharePoint 2010. The tag is a SharePoint Delegate control

The tags are occupying big amount of area, so our client told to minimize the icons to make use of space, also he given the hint that the nightandday.master has small social icons

sooner I opened nightandday.master and compared with v4.master and found v4.master Social tag Delegate control Id is ‘GlobalSiteLink3′ and the same delegate colntrol Id is GlobalSiteLink3-mini in nightandday.master

So I just changed the control Id to GlobalSiteLink3-mini in v4.master and minimized the social icons.

When I am trying to run powershell window for the first time after installing SharePoint 2010 I was faced with a message that

The local farm is not accessible. Cmdlets with FeatureDependencyId are not registered

Then, I did Bing search for some time and found the solution and the same I want to post here, so that it may be useful for some one.

Solution: Make sure that the logged in user account has db_owner and SharePoint_Shell_Access rights to SharePoint_Config database

How to find Sharepoint version

G Vijai Kumar — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 06:27:32 +0000

Normally to find the Sharepoint version we approach Central administration page Central Administration > Operations > Servers in Farm

One more method using SQL query

SELECT Version FROM Versions WHERE VersionId = ‘00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000′

Also you can find Sharepoint version programmatically using API

using (SPSite site = new SPSite(“”))
{
SPFarm farm = site.WebApplication.Farm;
Console.WriteLine(SPWebService.ContentService.Farm.BuildVersion.ToString());
}
Console.WriteLine(“Press any key to continue…..”);
Console.ReadLine();
