Sharepoint 2010, solution installer

Obviously old solution installer for 2007 MOSS (cool project on Codeplex) doesn't work for 2010 Sharepoint. Luckily I found people who had worked on the same problem and found a solution. Andri proposes rebuilding solutions in .Net 4.0, but his solution also works with old wsp files. So just replace old Codeplex setup.exe with Andris one and that's it! Thanks to Andri for his solution.
Btw seems this project will be popped up soon officially SharePoint 2010 solution installer

Client-side scripting for Taxonomy/Term Set Fields

    I haven’t found any way of how to attach to onchange event of term store fields for the edit/new forms, so I had to spend a couple of hours on reverse engineering of WebTaggingDialog.js and ScriptForWebTaggingUI.js and in piece of HTML which represents SharePoint FormField for Taxonomy field.      So, in HTML this field is bound as a set of spans, divs, hidden field and image to open WebTaggingDialog.aspx:   < SPAN id =ctl00_MyTaxonomyFieldID_ctl00_ctl00>     < INPUT id =ctl00_MyTaxonomyFieldID_ctl00_ctl01 class ="ms-taxonomy ms-taxonomy-height ms-long" value =MyTaxonomyFieldValue|f0d123d1-ac8c-4a18-bccb-65c9b5ea83af type =hidden>     < DIV id =ctl00_MyTaxonomyFieldID_ctl00_ctl02 class ="ms-taxonomy ms-taxonomy-height ms-long" InputFieldId ="ctl00_MyTaxonomyFieldID_ctl00_ctl01" SspId ="68e138c4-5729-4ddd-ab0d-95c688c6c8eb" GroupId ="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" TermSetId ="14

SharePoint delegate control is rendered twice

One of the situations where this might happen is - you deployed your control using one feature scope (Site for example) and than redeployed with another one (Web). So, you will see the control added twice to you pages. To fix this, simply: 1). switch to another feature scope (the one you no longer want to use), 2). deploy the feature, 3). deactivate it, 4). switch feature scope to the required one and redeploy it Enjoy!

Some thoughts on using Sitecore Habitat for Production codebase

Image
Habitat is considered as a demo project to highlight HELIX principles on practice. While Sitecore don’t recommend using it for Production codebase, many sitecoreans still use it as a base for their Sitecore platform projects. There are some people against this and there are lots of supporters. Main arguments of supporters would be that Habitat looks good, have lots of inbuilt functionality and is continuously developed by GitHub community.  Opponents claim that it is bad of using something that is not recommended by the platform vendor. Apart from having some great features, habitat project comes with a set of npm/gulp scripts and free item synchronization framework (unicorn) that allows companies who are building their websites on Sitecore to save costs on early stages of a project. Your dev team would be grateful for having dev setup/deploy scripts that actually work from first attempt (assuming you have the right version of npm and gulp J ). Your finance director w
