I have a MOSS 2007 instance where my client wants the content that comes in the My Site profile to not show up as links. How can we achieve this?
I tried removing the preferred search center url from the SSP. It did the trick but it also broke the standard search functionality that resides on the top right hand side of the page (below the welcome menu).
Add a crawl rule which exclude content with http://server/MySites/* (change based on the location of your MySites) in the URL
This will only affect future crawls so you have to do a new full crawl or use Remove URLS from Search Result

Is there any tool of webservice to get url listed in Excel while visiting webpages?
For example if I go to any website which contains Page 1-2-3-4-Next Now if I click on any page then the URL of that particular page will be listed or in table.
I want to crawl some data from a website so I need the URL list.
you can make use of selenium IDE plugin in firefox, for recording your required actions. Automatic code will be generated based on your selection (java/perl/python/php). you can save the code and modify the code for getting the URL's and proceed as you like. This is the answer for your Question.. Personally i will not recommend this approach you are following
You can do this with Site Visualizer. Create new project, click Start button to crawl a website. All its pages will be listed in the Pages table (at the top of the main window). Click through a page to get all its links to be listed in the Links table (at the bottom of the window):
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 want to customize the SharePoint 2013 online(office 365) "About me" linked page (personimmersive.aspx) to a custom look and feel.
Even clicking on any SPUser name, for ex in a list item modified by is "John Smith" if we click on it goes to about me page.
This page resides under mysite but I cannot see this page is SharePoint 2013 designer to edit, but modifying SharePoint pages in designer is not always the best way.
Can I just create a new page and redirect all Profile page request to that custom page?
IF I create app parts and edit the page I cannot edit the top portion of the page.
redirecting may not be a feasible approach, specially on the online versions
you can try to take advantage of web parts and css to do what you can
The biggest change is that you can’t edit the entire top portion of
the page. These used to be in a web part zone, and you could choose to
add/remove the web parts. Now they are fixed, with no ability to move
them around or change the parts.
We had removed the Activity Feed web part previously because we were
using Yammer newsfeeds and group feeds embedded throughout the site,
and this part always showed “No activities”. Now this is back again,
with no way to remove it, short of editing the page in SharePoint
Designer.
There are still web part zones on the bottom, but really the problem
is no control over the display of most of the top of the page.

There is personImmersive.aspx in SharePoint Designer, you should be able to find it in All Files. Just make sure you connect to [your_domain]-my.sharepoint.com instead of [your_domain].sharepoint.com.
you can't customize the page completely.However you can add custom web part and custom css to change the look and feel to a great extent.
#tiago duarte you can still remove the activity web part.This can be done using script editor webpart and hiding the complete block/div.
I am using Microsoft SharePoint Search (MOSS) to search all pages on a website.
My problem is that when you search for a word that appears in the header, footer, menu or tag cloud section of the website, that word will appear on every page, so the search server will bring you a list of results for that search term: every page on the website.
Ideally I want to tell the search server to ignore certain HTML sections in its search index.
This website seems to describe my problem, and a guy says "why not hide those sections of your website if the User Agent is the search server.
The problem with that approach is that most of the sections I hide contain links to other pages (menu's and tag clouds) and so the crawler will hit a dead end and won't crawl very far.
Anyone got any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
I'm not sure if i'm reading this correctly. You DON'T want Search to include parts of your site in the index, but you DO want it to go into that section and follow any links in it?
I think the best way is to indeed exclude those section based on user agent (i.e. add them to a usercontrol and if the user agent is MS Search you don't render the section).
Seeing as these sections would be the same on every page, it's okay to exclude them when the search crawler comes by.
Just create ONE page (i.e. a sitemap :-D). that does include all the links a normal user would see in the footer / header / etc. The crawler could then use that page to follow links deeper into your site. This would be a performance boost as well, seeing as the crawler only encounters the links once instead of on every page.
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.
