Setting Managed Metadata
I recently had an issue trying to set the Managed Metadata field value on a new list item I was creating in C# code. In the control where the user could select the managed metadata value I was using the OTB Taxonomy Control which was properly bound to my Managed Metadata Field.

Fixing IE11 Enter Key Problem with Search
I was recently working for a client who began having issues with the Windows 8.1 baseline and their search center. If you are familiar with Windows 8.1 then you are aware that it comes with IE 11 which has a new User Agent string that can cause some issues with SharePoint (ref: IE11 Broke SharePoint 2010). My task was to figure out why when a user entered a search term/key word and hit enter the page simply refreshed.

More customizations with Client Side Rendering
Recently I posted about how you can use Client Side Rendering (CSR)to display contacts on a map. After posting about how to display the entire list data, I decided I wanted to see how CSRcould be used to change the user experience while adding, updating, and viewinglist items, updating items, and viewing items. This post will provide a high level overview of how I was able to change the display during New, Display, and Edit of an individual item and then later I will actually put this together with the Contact Map idea.

SharePoint Contacts on a Map with Client Side Rendering
Several years ago, back in the dark days of SharePoint (MOSS) 2007, Tom Resing and I worked together on a demo displaying contacts from a SharePoint contact list on a Bing/Google Map. He and I presented this at several SharePoint Saturday events (Boston, Virginia Beach, Richmond, Tampa) and found highly positive response. It has been a while since Tom and I worked together, and a lot has changed in SharePoint so I wanted to revisit our old demo and take a newly available approach.

IE11 Broke SharePoint 2010
I’ve been noticing recently my SharePoint site was behaving oddly, especially when I wanted to edit a web part. Yesterday the odd behavior hit a critical point as I was unable to connect web parts on a page. The problem was every time I clicked the drop down arrow on the web part heading the page would refresh and some of the menu content would appear in a side panel, where the web part properties are usually displayed.

Site Collection Content Type vs. Content Type Hub
I’ve been working on a project recently that has a large number of sub-agencies and the parent organization was attempting to push a standardization of Content Types. Since no one really wanted to duplicate work the organization decided they did not want to migrate content into SharePoint (from file shares) until all the content types and metadata had been identified and created. However, as with all large agencies some groups wanted to move forward with limited or partial capabilities because after all some limited capability is better than what they currently have. The concern that arose from this was: What if they created a Content Type in one of their Site Collections that had the same name as one that would be published later on?

SharePoint Published Content Types
I have done a lot of development with SharePoint workflows, especially those developed in Visual Studio. Unless I have been working with a standard list type, I generally create a Content Type that my workflow can be associated with and to ensure the columns and values needed in the workflow will be present. However, creating Content Types is always a painful process, because as you develop the content types and test them you need to delete the original content type, and any list depended up in before you deploy the updated version. This is even worse when you upgrade a solution that is in use in productionbecause you can’t easily delete the content type just to add additional fields.

SharePoint 2010 and jQuery 2.x
Recently, I was working with a coworker who had created a javascript dashboard using jQuery and KnockoutJS in SharePoint. The dashboard had worked perfectly for him, but when I viewed the site none of the data would render. While we were testing the site we noticed that my browser was running inBrowser ModeIE10 with Document Standard IE 7 Standard,but his was running Browser Mode IE 10 with Document Mode: Standards. Having battled with SharePoint 2010using anHTML5 Masterpage I began looking for the Meta tag on the page which should define the appropriate browser mode and noticed he had removed it. I had him add the tag back to the masterpage (from my experience removing the browser mode tag in SP2010 causes all kinds of issues when editing pages, list items, etc) but still found the dashboard was not functioning properly.

User Profile Personalized Links
Recently my company performed a migration for our old production environment to a new production environment so we had a more stable and robust platform to support the company, including providing leadership with better business intelligence about our operations. As part of the migration one of my goals was to launch My Sites for our internal users so they had somewhere to store information they were working on.
