The task is to migrate classic ASP functionality to SharePoint Server 2013.
On the ASP page, a certain link is visible only if the authenticated user's password can be retrieved from a database. The link looks similar to:
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.someurl.com/secure/login.php?username=<%=strUserName%>&password=<%=rsOpenOrders("CL_password")%>" onmouseover="self.status=' '; return true;">
<img border="0" src="somelogo.gif" width="267" height="80" /></a>
I'm new to SharePoint, and I would appreciate your help (conceptual and code snippet) in solving this problem.
I understand that writing "code behind" is not highly encouraged with SharePoint pages and web parts.
So, what's the best alternative to be able to use the authenticated username value in building the first querystring parameter, and to query a SQLServer database to retrieve the value for the second querystring parameter? Please ignore the security concern here. Thanks!
its called SPSecurityTrimmedControl
example:
<%# Register TagPrefix="SharePoint" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
<SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl ID="SPSecurityTrimmedControl1" runat="server"
AuthenticationRestrictions="AuthenticatedUsersOnly" Permissions="ManageWeb" PermissionContext="CurrentSite">
<INCLUDE OUR CONTROL / CONTENT HERE>
</SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>
I ended up creating custom web parts developed using Visual Studio 2013 for each particular link that needed query string parameters to be built based on values retrieved from database.

I am trying to deploy a Promoted links web par to the default.aspx page, following the article from Muawiyah Shannak http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/Sharepoint-2013-How-to-add-e2966a24#content
But I cant find out how to set the JSLink url in the markup.
<div>
<WebPartPages:WebPartZone ID="WebPartZone" runat="server" FrameType="None">
<WebPartPages:XsltListViewWebPart
ID="XsltListViewArticlePromotedList"
runat="server"
ListUrl="Lists/MyPromotedLinks"
IsIncluded="True"
NoDefaultStyle="TRUE"
Title="Images used in switcher"
PageType="PAGE_NORMALVIEW"
Default="False"
ViewContentTypeId="0x">
</WebPartPages:XsltListViewWebPart>
</WebPartPages:WebPartZone>
</div>
XsltListWebPart.JSLink property sets CSR file to rendering the List View:
<JSLink>~site/SiteAssets/PromotedLinks.js</JSLink>
where ~site is a URL token.
Please refer URLs and tokens in SharePoint 2013 for a more details.
I have created a page layout for my publishing site. On this page layout i want to add a commenting and rating option.
The rating options shows up just fine on the page but the commentcontrol doesn't seem to be there...
After some research i put the commentcontrol in a webpartzone but this didn't affect the outcome.
Does anyone know what i am doing wrong?
This is my code for adding the commenting part:
<div data-name="WebPartZone">
<!--CS: Start Web Part Zone Snippet-->
<!--SPM:<%#Register Tagprefix="WebPartPages" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"%>-->
<!--MS:<WebPartPages:WebPartZone runat="server" ID="x0e5f5212505f48a9aac43df13eeae4f9" AllowCustomization="True" AllowPersonalization="False" FrameType="TitleBarOnly" LockLayout="True" Orientation="Vertical">-->
<!--MS:<ZoneTemplate>-->
<!--SPM:<%# Register TagPrefix="SharePointPortalControls" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>-->
<p>Comment:</p><!--MS:<SharePointPortalControls:SocialCommentControl ID="CommentControl" runat="server"/>-->
<!--ME:</ZoneTemplate>-->
<!--ME:</WebPartPages:WebPartZone>-->
<!--CE: End Web Part Zone Snippet-->
</div>
BTW, i am working in the html file using sharepoint 2013.
thnx
Have you checked your user profile service app in Central Admin? I couldn't even get into it via Central Admin; in the logs I was getting "This User Profile Application's connection is currently not available" So I deleted the service app, recreated, iisreset and presto! All my comment controls magically appeared.
hi my scenario is I want to give the user the ability to browse SharePoint for a file and then the dialog should give me back the URL of that file.
Is this simple? And how to do it?
You can give a try to the AssetUrlSector control from SharePoint.
You can find the MSDN article at
AssetUrlSelector class
Sample code for the control:
<CMS:AssetUrlSelector
ID="assetSelectedImage"
CssTextBox="ms-input ms-assetimagedialog-longtextbox"
UseImageAssetPicker="true"
MaxLength="512"
DecodeUrlPath="false"
AccessibilityName="<%$Resources:cms, asseteditimage_selectedimage_label%>"
runat="server"
AllowExternalUrls="false"
ValidateUrl="true" />
Where CMS is:
<%# Register
TagPrefix="CMS"
Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.WebControls"
Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
Hope this helps.
I have created a visual web part that combines two other previously created web parts into one nicely styled web part. This is done simply by adding Register tags to the ascx page of the web part, and then adding the web part tags just as I would on a page layout, like so:
WebPart_ParentAssignmentsUserControl.ascx:
<%# Register tagprefix="WebParts" namespace="Microsoft.SharePointLearningKit.WebParts" assembly="Microsoft.SharePointLearningKit, Version=1.3.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=24e5ae139825747e" %>
<%# Register tagprefix="MyChildrenWebPart" namespace="MLG2010.WebParts.MyChildren.MyChildrenWebPart" assembly="MLG2010.WebParts.MyChildren, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9f4da00116c38ec5" %>
<WebParts:AssignmentListWebPart runat="server" ListScope="false" AllowEdit="True" AllowConnect="True" Title="Assignment List Web Part" IsIncluded="True" Dir="Default" SummaryWidth="150px" IsVisible="True" AllowMinimize="True" AllowHide="True" ExportControlledProperties="True" ZoneID="" ID="g_1c528b46_baf2_4cf2_a004_91f84c4f4556" FrameState="Normal" DisplaySummary="True" ExportMode="All" SuppressWebPartChrome="False" DetailLink="" HelpLink="" MissingAssembly="Cannot import this Web Part."

The problem here, is that I need these two web parts to communicate via web part connections. since they are only added here on the aspx, sharepoint does not "know" about them, and thus they do not get a chrome and thus I cannot set up the web part connections in the browser.
Is there a way to set up web part connections on web parts that are added this way? Or maybe if I can just activate the chrome on these web parts?
You can define the connection statically. Note that using this way, you cannot create/modify/delete the connection using the browser.
See:
How to: Declare a Static Connection between Two Web Parts Controls
In the end, I separated the web part into the pieces that could connect normally, and then used styling to make it look as if they were one. I have not found any documentation on the consequences of putting web parts inside other web parts as i attempted.
I am looking to create a page with a single form on it that does the following:
Contact a webservice with input from the form.
Perform an action (programmed using C#) depending on the result of the webservice call.
Since I am not interacting with any lists or similar on the SharePoint site, I was thinking a WebPart would be the simplest way to add the form and catch the submit-event, but I am not sure if this is the best practice or an easier/better way exists.
I also need to restrict access to the form to a specific usergroup.
Thanks in advance!
A new SharePoint Web Part is probably the most common way to provide this solution in SharePoint and fits your requirements well. Though your solution doesn't call for it, you do have access to the lists from custom web part code.
If you are using SharePoint 2007, Visual Studio Extensions provide the Microsoft supported way to create one easily. It's much easier with Visual Studio 2010 and SharePoint 2010.
Some other options would be an InfoPath Form with custom code or a custom application page with code behind. The benefit of the web part is that it works with all versions of SharePoint and can be added to any web part page on the site and customized by users. Also, the application page may not pick up the master page if you are on SharePoint 2007.
Use WebDAV to upload an ASPX page to a site in SharePoint. Then upload your assembly to each SharePoint server, the bin folder of your application is preferred, or add it to the GAC.
Your ASPX page might look like this:
<%# Page Language="C#" masterpagefile="~masterurl/custom.master" inherits="MyAssembly, MyClass, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c48b11b32c9eb4a7" %>
<asp:Content runat="server" ContentPlaceholderID="PlaceHolderPageTitle">My Title</asp:Content>
<asp:Content runat="server" ContentPlaceholderID="PlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea">My Page</asp:Content>
<asp:Content runat="server" ContentPlaceholderID="PlaceHolderMain">
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="ButtonClickMe" Text="Click Me!" />
</asp:Content>
Then your assembly might look something like this:
public class MyClass : Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPartPage
{
protected global::System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button ButtonClickMe;
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnLoad( e );
ButtonClickMe.Click += new EventHandler( ButtonClickMe_Click );
}
void ButtonClickMe_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.IsValid)
return;
// Do stuff here
}
}
You won't be able to edit the permissions of the ASPX page directly, but you can manipulate the permissions of the site it is in (thus, restrict the site to only the usergroup which you want to access the form).
