Re: Creating sites from custom template via powershell

The problem with your code is that to apply a template to a site you have to
create it as an empty site without a template. You can only apply a
template once. So here's the code that should work for you:

#Here is my site-creation code:
$webTemplate = Get-SPWebTemplate | where { $_.Title -eq 'STS#1' }
$currentWeb = New-SPWeb `
-Url $SiteUrl `
-Name $SiteTitle `
-AddToTopNav:$true `
-UniquePermissions:$true `
-language 1033 `
-Description $SiteDescription

#Now I try to apply the template.
$currentWeb.ApplyWebTemplate('{F29E085-7F4D-444F-9AF0-981C67A3F073}#chapelsi
te')
$currentweb.update()

Okay, but how can I use the custom template to create the site with? I've
tried everything and am about to do all 200 sites manually.

Can you deploy the wsp to central admin? I created a site template using UI, then imported the wsp to Visual Studio, then deployed to CA. I am able to create new site collection using powershell with no problem.

Re: New Site Column Term Set Settings Shows Term Twice

Posted by: "mkhartson" mhartson@ema-inc.com   mkhartson

Thu Mar 22, 2012 3:51 pm (PDT)



This was too easy. Instead of typing in the term name, I clicked on the term group. Then I was able to see a list of my terms, and choose the one I wanted.

I had two terms that were similar: Term1 and Term1XX. When I searched for Term1, it showed twice. But if I display the list of terms, the proper list showed, and I was able to easily grab the term I wanted. Sweet.

Thanks!

Access Services and SharePoint 2010

Posted by: "Tammy Barbee" tgmiller5@yahoo.com   tgmiller5

Thu Mar 22, 2012 3:51 pm (PDT)



Currently, we are working on converting an access database to access services through SharePoint. There are a couple of questions to come to mind which are:
Once the database has been converted to SharePoint, does the database reside on the SharePoint site?
What happens if you want to make changes on the SharePoint side? Does this mean you have to refresh the database?

Where are some resources regarding Access services and SharePoint 2010 benefits and disadvantages?

Thanks,

Disable Submnit Button after Document Creation

Posted by: "dfife_01" david@fife.cc   dfife_01

Thu Mar 22, 2012 3:51 pm (PDT)



Greetings,

I have implemented a vacation request form that emails requests to the appropriate manager. My issue is after the initial creation by the end user and subsequent opening of the form by the manager, the submit button on the ribbon stays active.

The problem with this is selecting submit, creates a whole new form and kicks off a new work flow. Now, the save button updates the current form and allows the workflow to continue properly.

Is there any way to disable/hide the submit button after creation?

I have Sharepoint 2010 Enterprise, Infopath, and Sharepoint Designer. I did see a method for this that involved coding and appeared beyond my skill level. I also saw another method that involved editing an .XOML file, but I can't find the file mentioned.

Thanks All,
David

Yep. You can get rid of all the built-in buttons.It's under file - advanced
submit options. Then, you just need to create your own submit routine to
put a button in the form itself. Create a different view for the managers.
The managers should have a different submit option that doesn't kick off
the routine. Make sense?

Selection Field in Infopath Form

Posted by: "dfife_01" david@fife.cc   dfife_01

Thu Mar 22, 2012 3:51 pm (PDT)



Greetings,

I have a vacation request form and in it I have a drop down for the status 9 Approved, denied, pending). It defaults to pending. My question is, can I lock this field to pending during the form creation process, OR set the field to pending at the start of the workflow?

Thanks,
David

Sure. Disable it on the Infopath form. It will still be there, It will
still show pending. But, the user won't be able to change it.

Alternatively, you can set field's values during workflow quite easily. Or,
if you're using Infopath to do your workflow, you can do it there, too.
