we have created a new site and we want to move our team's wiki to the new site.
is there a nice and easy way to do it? we've tried the tree view with drag and drop but it won't work.
Thank you.
Ok so after a number of dead ends, I found a quick and easy solution:
Navigate to the physical folder location for your Sharepoint docs.
[Do this by selecting documents in the menu list, select the library tab and then open with explorer]
Once there navigate to the folder containing your wiki site/s.
They will have a .aspx extension usually
You can then move them to the folder you like.
Note: The site needs to be checked in or the move process will moan
One of the options could be to save a Wiki site as a site template. Then deploy it in a site collection and to create new sites from it. But unfortunately since Wiki site is Publishing based site, it is not supported to Save Site as Template.
But there is another option - moving sites via Site Content and Structure:
You can move individual list items or entire subsites to another
subsite within the site collection. A subsite can be moved to be
directly under the top level in the site collection hierarchy or under
another subsite in the site collection hierarchy. When you move a
subsite, all of the content in the subsite is moved
Steps:
Go to Site Settings, then Content and structure (under Site
Administration)
Select site you would like to move and Move action in the context menu
as shown below on picture
In the Move dialog select a destination (parent site) and
then click OK as shown below on picture
That's it.
you can try opening both sites/libraries in explorer view, side by side, and copy paste them from one to the other
you can also try to save a template out of the wiki including content and then import it

I have a SharePoint Site called ProxymGroup which has multiple affiliates and departments.
I created the webApplication and added 2 managed Paths of type WildCard called Affiliates and Departments.
Under affiliates i needed to create 3 site collections and under departments 2 other SiteCollections. So, here i have the links for the siteCollections:
http://MyHostName/affiliates/SiteCol1 ... and http://MyHostName/departments/SiteCol1 ... etc.
My goal is to display all that hierarchy in theTopNavigationBar menu of the siteCollection because when i activated SharePoint server publishing feature and checked Show SubSites in navigation tab under site sittings it only showed me the subsites, not the siteCollections created under this site.
How can i do please to get that hierachy shown in my TopNavigationBar menu???
Thanks in advance
as far as I know there is no ootb way to show information in the navigation shared among site collections. each site has its own master page and can only display subsites, not other site collections.
alternatively, you can create a powershell script that sets the same navigational items for all the existing site collections, adding links for all the existing sites in all menus of all sites
...or just create subsites
Go to Site settings -> Look and Feel -> Navigation and you can add links manually and change the hierarchy as you want , Please check below image for same.
I am quite new in sharepoint, I am trying to figure out how to create and rename the site content.
The one in bold on the left of the sharepoint. it is not the subfolder, but the main one in the view all set content section.
Is there anybody have the simlar problems and are able to troubleshoot it?
Site Content section is a page of Sharepoint.It shows all the content in the site collection. If you want to build the same as Site Content. You should create a web part that getting all the content(document libraries, lists ...or anything you want to show). Once you have your web part. You can create a new page and insert this web part to this page. You can set the name and the content as you expected.
I'd like to ask if you came up with a solution that will allow for subsites to access a centralized document library at the parent level. I'm still trying to no avail. I've tried doc library templates, views, Doc Center and the best method i have OOTB is a page view web part on the subsites page display a view from the parents library. (by the way to remove the ribbon, append ?IsDlg=1 to the url and the ribbons hidden) cool tip. Say will you give be a Y/N on a solution that will allow one to keep a set of documents in the doc center and surface them in the sub-site.
There are another option without such hard coding. You can open any view of your document library, as mentioned earlier AllItems.aspx for example with SharePoint Designer. Open it for editing in advanced mode (there are option when you click right mouse button on file in SP Designer). Then just point mouse cursor inside web part and chose in ribbon web parts, Add to Site gallery, see the picture. Fill in name of new web part. That is all, now you can add this web part on any page on any web site from webpart gallery through the user interface or through the SP Designer by clicking Insert, Web Part in the ribbon on any page.
You can do this by editing the AllItems.aspx (or other view page) and scraping off the WebPartPages:ListViewWebPart and pasting it into a page on the subsite.
This will give you an error "List does not exits The page you selected contains a list that does not exist."
Then you need to get the WebID for the root site (where you took the ListViewWebpart from and replace the part of the webpart that looks like this:
<WebId xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ListView">00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</WebId>
with (for example)
<WebId xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ListView">7b04dee8-b120-4dee-abea-28b77316ec7d</WebId>
I am a beginner in SharePoint and I need to create publishing site that will have multilevel menu. Requirement is that levels will not be fixed and that client should be able to add pages and customize menu.
If I am not mistaken pages can be created only in the first level under the site. I don't see something like folders concept. For the navigation purposes I can add heading and it will be shown as another level. If I need more levels I need to create sub sites.
Site
Page1
Page2
Heading
Page3
Is this correct?
Site
Page1
Page2
Sublevel_1
Page1_1
Sublevel_2
Page2_1
Sublevel_3
Page3_1
...
Can I do something like this without creating SharePoint sub sites ?
If I don't need I will skip writing some custom menu control or write custom SiteMapProvider. I will than need to write UI for managing navigation also.
EDIT:
I have managed to create Folder in Pages list and create (actually move) pages to that folder and even create sub folder but they are not showing on the menu not even in the navigation settings page. I can't approve folder, it is in pending status what ever I try.
I looks like this is not possible by the Andrew Connell: Subfolders are not Supported in the Pages Library in MOSS Publishing Sites
Out of the box, you can modify the navigation for a Publishing site manually.
I assume that you are after a more automated way to do this. Unfortunately, the way to modify the navigation for a PublishingWeb is through the object model and the PublishingWeb.CurrentNavigationNodes object, which would require a timer job or some other method to update as pages are edited/added/deleted.
This is non-trivial and you will still need to create a solution/feature package.
The other way is to create a custom navigation provider.
The issue with both of these options (aside from the actual coding and release) is caching the navigation structure. We have used the standard web cache for the object holding the navigation structure, but using the standard user browsing (i.e. the menu code itself) to kick of a refresh of the navigation is fraught with threading issues.
You can create multiple document libraries in a site and then put the pages in the various libraries. That way you wouldn't need to create sub-sites
Hi I was wondering If there is away to save a page in sharepoint. I want to save the default page, and replicate it on a mirror server. I want the web parts in the same place, and the properties of the web parts to stay intact. Any suggestions? Thank you.
You might also look into using SharePoint Content Deployment which was designed with pushing out pages from a master site out to cloned sites.
You can view the page is SharePoint Designer and disassociate it with its Page Layout. That will bring the content of the page into Designer. You can then copy it to another file. However, this is fraught with problems:
Any dependent list and relative urls would not be copied over. You would have to move it manually.
By disassociating the page from its layout you are in effect going to slow down the retrieval of the page. Since this will also have to be done on the destination page, both pages are going to slow down.
I have found that its always better to do an export of the site and then import it to a destination site.
