Page Content field value. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ...



The problem:  When browsing a web part page with query string parameters, the page displays an error text "Page Content field value. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ...".

This is very strang and annoying behaviour. I faced it now in SharePoint 2013 but there are blog posts explaining this error in the previous version as well.

The solution I found in the posts was not to used the reserved query string parameter
I agree this is good option but what about the cases when something is working in SharePoint 2010 and after the upgrade to 2013 it is not. And rewriting the logic is definitely time&money consuming task.

The solution I found is more simple.

The solution: Download a web part page from SharePoint 2010 environment. Upload it in SharePoint 2013 library using the Explorer View. Add you web part(s) in it. Browse the page with your query string parameters and it will work correctly.

I have done this with the publishing library Pages and was able to make my existing web parts working at the same urls, as in SharePoint 2010.

If I'm using the user interface to create a page in SharePoiont 2013, I can't use the url parameter ID which in my case was critical.

ClientPeoplePicker in SharePoint 2013

Start using SharePoint 2013 I noticed that the way for selecting people or groups is changed. The new way is simple – just ‘Enter name or email address’ without any icons for ‘Check Names’ or ‘Browse’. I guess that the PeoplePicker is changed but NO. PeoplePicker sitll has the same functionality as before. There is a new control called ClientPeoplePicker . How to use it: 1. Add this references <% @ Register TagPrefix ="wssawc" Namespace ="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls" Assembly ="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %> 2.

SharePoint 2016: High Availability Farm Topology

MinRole concept was introduced in SharePoint 2016 and it aims to simplify the process of designing the farms. However, I still find ambiguous information about the count of servers in SharePoint 2016 farm. Let's ask ourselves the question - What is the minimum number of servers which allow High Availability MinRole farm? According to technet   we have the following options: Small High Availability (HA) MinRole farm 4 Four servers with two shared roles: ·         Two Front-end with Distributed Cache servers ·         Two Application with Search servers Medium High Availability (HA) MinRole farm (Search optimized) 6 Six servers with both dedicated and shared roles: ·         Two Front-end with Distributed Cache servers ·         Two Application servers ·    ...

Load dynamically JavaScript file inside Custom Action

This starts to be very common scenario in the SharePoint online projects: You want to have custom actions (“My Action”) that execute custom logic. The main challenge is how to load the JavaScript file with this custom logic (/sites/demo/SiteAssets/Actions/dts.demo.script.js) only when the custom action needs it. One approach described in many posts is to use a Script link.  Here is a working example: function RegisterScriptLink() { var scriptBlock = 'var headID = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];var newScript = document.createElement("script");newScript.type = "text/javascript";newScript.src = "' scriptBlock += '/sites/demos/SiteAssets/Actions/dts.demo.script.js' + '?ver=' + ((new Date()) * 1); scriptBlock += '";headID.appendChild(newScript);'; var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current; this.site = context.get_web(); var collU...
