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

<SharePoint:DelegateControl ControlId=”GlobalSiteLink3″ Scope=”Farm” runat=”server”/>

SharePoint 2010: Social Tags before customizing

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.

<SharePoint:DelegateControl ControlId=”GlobalSiteLink3-mini” Scope=”Farm” runat=”server”/>

SharePoint 2010: Social Tags after customizing

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

In this post once again I want to update few WSS web service handy programs with minimum lines of code.

Before executing the code first of all add web reference http://servername:port/_vti_bin/Webs.asmx
In this example I have given the web reference folder name as myWebswebservice

Show all subsites:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
myWebswebservice.Webs allWebs = new myWebswebservice.Webs();
//credentials for password based authentication
//System.Net.NetworkCredential mycredentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(“g.vijaikumar”, “mypassword”, “fivenumber”);
//allWebs.Credentials = mycredentials;
//using system credentials of the application
allWebs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
try
{
string webTitle = null;
XmlNode myNode = allWebs.GetAllSubWebCollection();
XmlNodeList nodes = myNode.SelectNodes(“*”);
foreach (XmlNode node in nodes)
{
Console.WriteLine(webTitle + node.Attributes["Title"].Value);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
Console.WriteLine(“Press any key to continue…..”);
Console.ReadLine();
}

Let us join Microsoft virtually on May 12th at 11am EST and listen to Stephen Elop, President of the Microsoft Business Division, use the following link to register for the event Microsoft Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010

Here, once again am going to post Sharepoint object model programs (part 2) with minimum lines of code and are really handy, which are actually most useful even.

Show only BLOG sites:

//STS#0 – Team Site
//STS#1 – Blank Site
//STS#2 – Document Workspace
//MPS#0 – Basic Meeting Workspace
//MPS#1 – Blank Meeting Workspace
//MPS#2 – Decision Meeting Workspace
//MPS#3 – Social Meeting Workspace
//MPS#4 – Multipage Meeting Workspace
//WIKI#0 – Wiki
//BLOG#0 – Blog

static void Main(string[] args)
{
SPSite site = new SPSite(“http://servername:port”);
foreach (SPWeb web in site.AllWebs)
{
string template = web.WebTemplate + “#” + web.Configuration;
if (template.ToUpper() == “BLOG#0″)
{
Console.WriteLine(web.Title);
}
}
Console.WriteLine(“Press any key to continue…..”);
Console.ReadLine();
}

Show services and status in Sharepoint server farm:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
SPServiceCollection services = SPFarm.Local.Services;
foreach (SPService service in services)
{
Console.WriteLine(“Service Name: {0}”, service.Name);
Console.WriteLine(“Service Status: {0}”, service.Status);
Console.WriteLine(“————————————-”);
}
Console.WriteLine(“Press any key to continue…..”);
Console.ReadLine();
}

Adding/Retrieving values to property bag:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite(“http://servername:port”))
{
using (SPWeb site = siteCollection.RootWeb)
{
site.Properties.Add(“TempKey”, “TempValue”);//Adding value
site.Properties.Update();

Console.WriteLine(site.Properties["TempKey"]);//Reading value
}
}
Console.WriteLine(“Press any key to continue…..”);
Console.ReadLine();
}

Read files in a folder:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
SPSite site = new SPSite(“http://servername:port”);
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
SPFolder folder = web.GetFolder(“Shared Documents”);
SPFileCollection files = folder.Files;
foreach (SPFile file in files)
{
Console.WriteLine(file.Name.ToString());
}
Console.WriteLine(“Press any key to continue…..”);
Console.ReadLine();
}

Get content database for all site collections:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
SPSite site = new SPSite(“http://CentralAdminSiteURL”);
SPFarm farm = site.WebApplication.Farm;
SPWebService service = farm.Services.GetValue(“”);
foreach (SPWebApplication webapp in service.WebApplications)
{
foreach (SPSite mysite in webapp.Sites)
{
Console.WriteLine(mysite.Url+” —– “+ mysite.ContentDatabase.Name);
}
}
Console.WriteLine(“Press any key to continue…..”);
Console.ReadLine();
}
