I'm working on remolding my companies current exsisting Sharepoint site. I installed the SP ZAP Slideshow webpart and went to the sharepoint site to insert it, and absolutely no webparts were listed. I went into the provided Sharepoint 2010 central administration and realized that everything seems to be listed as
//usmvwc0wtf1srv.ww005.work.net/sitepages/
When the website were hosting, and it should be listing is
//usmvwc0wtf1srv.ww005.work.net/sites/
I went to the /sitepages website and all the webparts exsisted and worked, however i need to get them working on the /sites page. Is there some way to switch it so it will not default all the webparts and content i'm uploading to the wrong page? I feel as though the wrong default page is listed? sorry new to all this!
Web Parts, which you see listed and are able to insert on a page when you edit it, come from the Web Part Gallery in the site collection. They are usually installed to the gallery when you activate their site collection-scope feature. Check what features you didn't activate in the new site collection - I suspect that one of them is responsible for the installation of Web Parts you are looking for. (The scope of the feature can be site collection or site - check both.)

Ok, I am in the dangerous place of knowing enough to cause trouble but not enough to do things correctly; and yet still have to be the one who does the work.
When I edit a sharepoint site, I see one thing, users see something else.
I have SP2013 Enterprise, On premise, SQL 2012.
I have configured Excel Services, Analysis Services - and they work
I developed an excel workbook with PowerPivot and deployed to a Sharepoint site via Excel WebPart
Permissions are set correctly as users have to login to open the site
However...
When other users go to the site, they don't see the information I posted, they only see the default screen. By default it looks like a business intelligence site before I added anything.
In short - the content I have put on my SP site is not being seen by anyone else. WTF do I do now???
Thanks
Did you perform a check-in of your page ?
If publication feature is enabled, did you publish the page ?
A page has to be "checked in" for others to see your modifications.
And if publishing is enabled, it should be published.
If the content of your page references other sharepoint content (file,page,...) they should be checked-in also to be visible to others.
I have restored a content database to SharePoint 2010 (which we completely broke after upgrading TFS to 2013).
When I open the content site, all the sub-sites are listed, but clicking one of these "sub-sites" goes to page not found. (The sub sites were created from TFS 2012 when new team projects were created).
How do I get the team project sites to work again?
You likley do not have a managed path configured for your SharePoint sites. If you look at the URL of the sites that you can't see you should be able to figure out the managed paths to add.

You are kinda defining mount points for site collections here. Without that mount point SharePoint will not render your sites.
Right now I have an HTML file and I'm trying to convert it to a master page. I'm using a VM on CloudShare.
So I create a new site collection and go into the site settings. Under “Look and Feel”, Design Manager isn’t there so I’ve found that if I go to “Site Collection Features” under “Site Collection Administration”, and activate “SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure” Design Manager will show up. So I go into design manager, but under Edit Master Pages none of the file or folder names will show up, and when I convert the html file the status column doesn’t show up either, so I can’t go to preview it or to the snippets gallery.
The only thing I can find online is to create a new site collection, which I’ve tried a few times. This happened on my old CloudShare VM, and creating a new site collection fixed it, but it’s not working for this. Can anyone help?
Personally when working with new master pages I have found that the best application to use is SharePoint Designer. You should be able to download it for free. Here are the instructions to configure SharePoint designer using it with CloudShare.

Figured it out - I made a new site collection and set it to a Publishing site template and it fixed the issue.
I've built a custom SharePoint 2010 web part and deployed it to the home page of a publishing site. It's a very simple web part that just displays items from a SP list in a drop down list. The web part works fine if I'm logged in as a site owner or a member but not if I'm just a reader. The web part doesn't render at all to readers. I don't get any of the web part chrome or title, just nothing. I have other web parts (out-of-box ones) in the same zone that are displaying fine so it's not an issue of the whole zone not displaying.
As a reader, I can still view the list directly so it doesn't appear to be a problem with list permissions.
My web parts are being deployed as a farm solution, not sand-boxed and the assembly is being deployed to the GAC.
I feel like I must be missing something simple here but I'm stumped. Help.
Did you save / Check in the page after editing?
Regards,
Faiz
You may have to actually publish the page for a reader to see it
How would you go about having WSS search index content that's inside a webpart/pulled from an external source and presented in a SPGridView?
You probably already know this, but if you go to Site Settings -> Search Visibility you will see a section stating:
This site contains fine-grained permissions. Specify the sites ASPX page indexing behavior: ...
If you choose "Always index all ASPX pages on this site" it should index the content in your web part, but only as the crawler sees it, so security trimming would not apply. It is basically a web crawl and not a SharePoint content crawl.
I know you said WSS, but in MOSS you might be able to take this one step further if the above did not work out and use a web site search on your SharePoint site. I have done plenty of web site searches (it does not work perfectly), but have not tried to explicitly do a web site search on a SharePoint site so I'm not certain this will work.
Lars (who co-wrote "Inside the Index and Search Engines: MOSS 2007") is pretty active on StackOverflow so maybe he'll chime in.
Also in MOSS: Have the data you are displaying available as for instance a web service / page in a different site also. In Moss you can add Federated Search locations to be included in the Search results.
