Sharepoint 2007/2010 combined solution installer

What you'd do if you need a solution installer for both 2007 and 2010 Sharepoint? Well, I've found an interesting solution by Vojtech Nadvornik. In general, he modified code of well known codeplex solution. Actually, it has few minor imperfections, so I decided to make some refactoring. I changed Welcome page title and fixed Administration Service check (it didn't work on 2010). Binaries can be downloaded here and sources here.

    Hello, thank you for making this available. How can I disable the dialog prompts during install?

    Hi Tonerz!

    I'm afraid there is no such a setting in the app. So you need to change the source code - take out all the visual stuff and add additional configuration setting as for installation locations... I guess easier will be just creating a new console application and insert there only functional code (without any UI related code).
    Hope this helps!

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
