I need to check a .config file in an installation application (iis custom action in a WIX project). The user picks a website and enters a virtual directory name. I can't do a http read to retrieve the config file as ASP.NET does not serve config files.
How can I find the local disk path of the selected website and virtual directory?
After further searching, I ended up using DirectoryServices. I'm posting my solution here for others.
If there is a better way, please still post it.
static string FindVirtualDirectoryPath(string virtualDirectoryName)
{
return FindVirtualDirectoryPath(null, virtualDirectoryName);
}
static string FindVirtualDirectoryPath(string siteName, string virtualDirectoryName)
{
DirectoryEntry iis = new DirectoryEntry("IIS://localhost/W3SVC");
foreach (DirectoryEntry index in iis.Children)
{
if (index.SchemaClassName == "IIsWebServer")
{
int id = Convert.ToInt32(index.Name);
DirectoryEntry site = new DirectoryEntry(string.Concat("IIS://localhost/W3SVC/", id));
string iSiteName = site.Properties["ServerComment"].Value.ToString();
if (iSiteName == siteName || (string.IsNullOrEmpty(siteName) && id == 1))
{
DirectoryEntry rootVDir = new DirectoryEntry(string.Concat("IIS://localhost/W3SVC/", id, "/Root"));
foreach (DirectoryEntry vDir in rootVDir.Children)
{
if (vDir.SchemaClassName == "IIsWebVirtualDir" && vDir.Name.ToLower() == virtualDirectoryName.ToLower())
{
return vDir.Properties["Path"].Value.ToString();
}
}
}
}
}
return null;
}
Have you tried using the standard WiX IIsExtension for this? Just capture the user input in a property, and then use standard elements like iis:WebSite and iis:WebVirtualDir to create a virtual directory in appropriate web site.

I want to Get the Active Directory names in sharepoint in a list.
To got Know that SharePoint 2013 Has some Hidden URL which Shows Current Active Directory User I wan to get it into List.
http://{YourSharepointUrl}/_catalogs/users/simple.aspx
Now I want to have list of all the names Displayed on my sharepoint
I am using the code:
private static void GetAllSiteUsers()
{
// Starting with ClientContext, the constructor requires a URL to the server running SharePoint.
var sharepointContext = new ClientContext("http://yoursharepointurl/");
}
Now I am Getting error it says about assembly reference doesn't exist.So I checked on google and added up this ddl and add the using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client; reference also.Still Not working.
Please Let me Know what needed to be done Guys
Purpose Of Making Program:To have all the AD Users and Make a work Group so that I can Assign them some right in such a way when assigned grp open something some other URL in iframe shows. and if some one else than other URL in iframe is shown to him.
Thanks IN Advance Guys.
You are in Server side (Farms solution), so don't use : ClientContext, this is for Client application, not server.
You just have to get the : User Information List
You could try somthing like :
using(SPSite site = new SPSite("URLsiteCollection")){
using(SPWeb web = site.rootWeb){
SPList userList = web.SiteUserInfoList;
SPListItemCollection allUsers = userList.Items;
foreach(SPListItem userItem in allUsers){
string userEmail = Convert.Tostring(userItem["EMail"]);
string userName = userItem.Title;
....
}
}
}
To get all information about active directory user or group you can use
PrincipalContext pContext = new PrincipalContext (ContextType.Domain, YOUR_DOMAIN);
//For User
UserPrincipal userPrincipal = new UserPrincipal (pContext);
PrincipalSearcher userSearch = new PrincipalSearcher (userPrincipal);
//For Group
GroupPrincipal grpPrincipal = new GroupPrincipal (pContext);
PrincipalSearcher grpSearch = new PrincipalSearcher (grpPrincipal);
foreach (UserPrincipal result in userSearch.FindAll())
{
if (result.SamAccountName!= null)
// Your code
}
foreach (GroupPrincipal result in grpSearch.FindAll())
{
if (result != null)
{
// Your code
}

Please help me in below problem
I have single liferay instance and it has single site on it. This single site is serving multiple clients and they access the site using their dedicated domain name
xxx.mysite.com -> domain name for the client xxx
yyy.mysite.com -> domain name for the client yyy
These domain names are configured in apache web server which is sitting infront of liferay instance. I used property in portal-ext.properties web.server.host to configure the webserver information in liferay. Liferay uses this property to generate all the links on the page(if this property is not mentioned it uses the servername to generate the urls). But using this I can only define one site at a time. I can not achieve above functionality. I went to the liferay code and in PortalImpl.java it has following code
public String getPortalURL(
String serverName, int serverPort, boolean secure) {
StringBundler sb = new StringBundler();
if (secure || Http.HTTPS.equals(PropsValues.WEB_SERVER_PROTOCOL)) {
sb.append(Http.HTTPS_WITH_SLASH);
}
else {
sb.append(Http.HTTP_WITH_SLASH);
}
if (Validator.isNull(PropsValues.WEB_SERVER_HOST)) {
sb.append(serverName);
}
else {
sb.append(PropsValues.WEB_SERVER_HOST);
}
if (!secure) {
if (PropsValues.WEB_SERVER_HTTP_PORT == -1) {
if ((serverPort != Http.HTTP_PORT) &&
(serverPort != Http.HTTPS_PORT)) {
sb.append(StringPool.COLON);
sb.append(serverPort);
}
}
else {
if (PropsValues.WEB_SERVER_HTTP_PORT != Http.HTTP_PORT) {
sb.append(StringPool.COLON);
sb.append(PropsValues.WEB_SERVER_HTTP_PORT);
}
}
}
if (secure) {
if (PropsValues.WEB_SERVER_HTTPS_PORT == -1) {
if ((serverPort != Http.HTTP_PORT) &&
(serverPort != Http.HTTPS_PORT)) {
sb.append(StringPool.COLON);
sb.append(serverPort);
}
}
else {
if (PropsValues.WEB_SERVER_HTTPS_PORT != Http.HTTPS_PORT) {
sb.append(StringPool.COLON);
sb.append(PropsValues.WEB_SERVER_HTTPS_PORT);
}
}
}
return sb.toString();
}
In above method it uses the web.server.host property defined in poratal-ext.properties and constructs the URLs. Now I need to overwrite this method to determine the web server host during runtime.
my question are.
How to overwrite this function in PoralImpl.java? Do I need use extension to achieve this?
Is anyother way(betterway) to achieve this functionality.
I am using liferay 6.1.0 GA-1/tomcat bundle
Yes, the only way to override Liferay's core functionality (= code that exists in "portal-impl.jar") is to use ext plugin, http://www.liferay.com/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Ext+Plugin
I have created a web part which renders a button, on click of this button I want to access the directory of the other machine in LAN. Once I get the access to this Directory I will create a nested directories inside it with different extensions of files, but the problem is when I tries to access this folder by UNC Path it is giving me error like "Could not find a part of the path '\comp01\ibc'". Here comp01 is the computer name which is situated in LAN and ibc is a shared folder on that machine.
Following is the code for button click,
void _btnBackup_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
//UNC Path --> \\In-Wai-Svr2\IBC
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(UncPath))
{
SPSite currentSite = SPControl.GetContextSite(this.Context);
SPWeb parentWeb = currentSite.OpenWeb();
string dir = Path.GetDirectoryName(UncPath);
//If IBC folder does not exist then create it.
if(!Directory.Exists(dir))
Directory.CreateDirectory(dir);
IterateThroughChildren(parentWeb, UncPath);
}
else
{
_lblMessage.Text = "UNC Path should not be empty";
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
_lblMessage.Text = ex.Message;
}
}
For UNC paths you need to specify it like this:
either use a C# string literal
String path = #"\\comp01\ibc";
or escape the string like
String path = "\\\\comp01\\ibc"
Try that.
I have requirement of specifying web part connections in onet.xml. So when site is created using this site definition the said web parts are already connected and ready to use. Which properties I need to specify for that particular web parts in onet.xml.
I have also hit the wall on this one sometime last year! It looks like connections can no longer be specified on Web Parts in the new .webpart format as they could in the old .dwp format. I ended up including a custom feature in the site definition like kpinhack also suggests. My code for connecting the Web Parts is listed below. The method is just designed for connecting two Web Parts of different types - it does not support multiple Web Parts of the same type on the same page. But I am sure you'll catch the general idea.
private void ConnectWebParts(SPWeb web, string pageName, Type providerType, Type consumerType)
{
SPFile file = web.GetFile(pageName);
SPList list = null;
if (file.InDocumentLibrary)
{
list = file.Item.ParentList;
if (list.ForceCheckout) file.CheckOut();
}
SPLimitedWebPartManager webPartManager =
web.GetLimitedWebPartManager(
pageName,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope.Shared);
WebPart provider = null;
foreach (WebPart wp in webPartManager.WebParts)
{
if (wp.GetType() == providerType)
{
provider = wp;
break;
}
}
foreach (WebPart consumer in webPartManager.WebParts)
{
if (consumer.GetType() != consumerType) continue;
ProviderConnectionPointCollection providerConnections = webPartManager.GetProviderConnectionPoints(provider);
ProviderConnectionPoint providerConnection = providerConnections[0];
ConsumerConnectionPointCollection consumerConnections = webPartManager.GetConsumerConnectionPoints(consumer);
ConsumerConnectionPoint consumerConnection = consumerConnections[0];
SPWebPartConnection con = webPartManager.SPConnectWebParts(provider, providerConnection, consumer, consumerConnection);
webPartManager.SPWebPartConnections.Add(con);
}
if (list != null)
{
if (list.ForceCheckout)
{
file.CheckIn("Added Web Part Connections");
}
if (list.EnableVersioning && list.EnableMinorVersions)
{
file.Publish("Added Web Part Connections");
}
}
}
I would configure the WebParts in the SiteProvisioning-Feature, by implementing the 'OnActivated'-Eventhandler. That way the code will run when the website is created, and you can handle errors the way you like it (i.e. if the WebParts are not available when the website is created - for whatever reason)
I hope this helps!
you would need to use the < AllUsersWebPart > tag to declare your web parts, and then declare your connections within the enclosed < WebPart > elements.

Is there a way to get a site's (site collection) site directory, the one which is defined within the web site collection setting of a collaboration or publishing portal?
Of course I could iterate through all the SPWebs of the site collection but I hope there's a easier way to get the directory as the information seems to be already stored somewhere.
Bye,
Flo
UPDATE
Of course I want to get the information programmatically.
The site directory path is stored in the root web property bag
The code below taken from an internal utility class SiteDirectoryUtil shows the logic of how to determine the path
internal static string GetLocalSiteDirectoryLocation(SPWeb rootWeb)
{
if (rootWeb != null)
{
if (rootWeb.AllProperties.ContainsKey("DefaultSiteDirectorySiteId"))
{
string str = rootWeb.AllProperties["DefaultSiteDirectorySiteId"] as string;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(str))
{
return string.Empty;
}
if (!rootWeb.AllProperties.ContainsKey("DefaultSiteDirectoryWebId"))
{
return string.Empty;
}
string str2 = rootWeb.AllProperties["DefaultSiteDirectoryWebId"] as string;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(str2))
{
return string.Empty;
}
try
{
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(new Guid(str), rootWeb.Site.Zone))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb(new Guid(str2)))
{
return web.ServerRelativeUrl;
}
}
}
catch (FileNotFoundException)
{
return string.Empty;
}
}
else
{
return string.Empty;
}
}
return string.Empty;
}
Are you referring to the site directory that is under the Site Content and Structure?
If so, you can browse to http://sitename/_layouts/sitemanager.aspx to see site directory (assuming you have sufficient privileges to the site).
For what it's worth, if you have access to the WSS database(s) you can either leverage off existing SPs or create your own. I wanted to return things like 'RequestAccessEmail' and incorporate that into our own site maps (handy to know who the site owner is sometimes). Our SP at it's most basic...
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[my_sitemap](
#PartialUrl nvarchar(260)
)
AS
SELECT ID, FullUrl, Title, RequestAccessEmail
FROM Webs
WHERE FullUrl LIKE #PartialUrl + '%'
ORDER BY FullUrl
GO
Worked very well for me. Hope this helps.
