I'm trying to get the Reusable Content List on my SharePoint site, for that i have activated the office sharepoint server publishing infrastructure feature, even when that feature is active the Reusable Content List is not being displayed. Does anyone knows what could be the reason of this?
Thanks in Advance, i really appreciate the help
Try activating the other publishing features, as well. The infrastructure feature is at the site collection level, but the "Office SharePoint Server Publishing" feature is at the site level. If that doesn't cut it, also ensure the "Office SharePoint Server Standard Site features feature" is enabled
Reusable Content shows up in the top level site collection.
Go to Site Setting>Go to top level Site collection > View all site contents > Reusable List.

I deployed and activated the SharePoint Learning Kit (SLK) to my SharePoint 2013 Foundation according to this video. In the video there is a Web Part called "Assignment List Web Part". But I don't have this one in my Web Part Collection.
I have all SLK Features activated but the Web Part is still missing.
Is my solution corrupted or is SLK not capable with SharePoint 2013 Foundation?
You have to activate the WebPart on Site Collection level.
Select Site Actions | Site Settings to get to the site setting page.
Under Site Collection Administration select Site Collection Features.
Activate the feature.
This will add the "Assignment List Web Part" to the WebPart gallery.

For further questions regarding SLK, you might ask them on the Codeplex SLK Discussion Board.
There you have the chance to discuss your questions with other people facing the same problems and even the developer himself.
We are migrating content from one SharePoint (MOSS 2007) to new platform (SP 2013). We have situation where we have to fix some items manually on each site.
Is there a way I can know if any workflow is used in the site or not?
P.S: Workflow related features are enabled on all the sites. We can see the workflows in list settings ofcourse but I want to check on site level if workflow is used anywhere on the site.
Thanks in advance.
List workflows are run against items in that list. So my thoughts would be no. My recommendation would be open SPD and check the workflows there. If they're list workflows then they run against that list and to my knowledge that list exclusively.
The best way I can think of is that you need to custom code it in Visual Studio and log the sites with workflows, steps
Open Site
Iterate through the lists in the site
if(sPList.WorkflowAssociations.Count > 0 ) the site contains workflow somewhere in some list
I'm taking over a SharePoint portal and noticed the previous developer used SharePoint Designer for all of the development whereas I use Visual Studio custom solutions/features for development.
NOTE: Site Publishing Features are enabled on a Team Site template for some web applications.
The issue I've noticed is the v4.master content type was changed from "Master Page" content type to "Page Layout" content type. This must have been done through the "Edit Properties" on the publishing site. When opening the site in SP Designer, the v4.master shows up in Page Layouts instead of Master Pages.
The v4.master also has the blue icon next to it meaning the page is customized and content is stored in the database which is causing performance issues. SharePoint is so slow that users are very frustrated. Also there are script tags in the masterpage pointing to jquery in the top level scripts directory. Personally, I would of created a delegate control for this instead of customizing the v4.master. NO Copy was made. (I totally dislike SP Designer, this tool gives too much power to inexperienced power users that like to put sharepoint developer on their resumes. I am definitely disabling SP Designer)
So, with all that said, what are the best practices or suggestions if any in fixing this issue?
What issues will this cause for future applications or site collections?
Should I develop and deploy a custom master as a feature then "Reset to Site Definition" on the v4.master?
Why does SharePoint allow users to change the Content Type on a Master Page to "Page Layout"? Why is this even an option, it doesn't even make sense?
All you need to do within the SharePoint Designer is publish the master page in the page layouts folder and approve it in the Master pages and page layouts in site settings. The master page will appear in the master pages section in SharePoint designer.
I have created a new web application (port 44455) to host all the discussions, surveys and wikis that we will want. I then created a new site collection (which uses the publishing template) and then tried to create a survey (AllSiteContent --> Create --> Tracking --> Survey) but the only option presented was 'Tasks'.
Why is this? On the main web application (port80), all the options were available. Did I forget somthing? The wrong site template?

[I know this isn't programming exactly but it isn't server-related either. I just know there are some Sharepoint experts here...]
You need to activate the "Team Collaboration Lists" under Site Actions -> Modify All Site Settings -> Site Features (not site collection features)
Navigate to
Site Actions -> Site Settings ->
Modify all Settings -> Site Colection Features
and see if the following are activated.
Office SharePoint Server Standard Site Collection features
Office SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure
Which web part and how to configure it to view a list from a different site collection?
Please note that I do not want to view a page but a list. For example view Announcements from a different team site under a seperate site collection.
Thank you in advance for your help.
The Data Form web part available through SharePoint designer can do this.
The Content Query Web Part (CQWP) which is part of the publishing infrastructure (requires MOSS) does not go across site collections.
Re http://www.spelements.com/spanylistview/
The problem with this one is you have to be able to INSTALL it on the server.
If you do not have those permissions, it cannot be used.
Don't bother asking if they can be obtained. They can't.
