If you’re aware of Managed Metadata Navigation, you might also know the hyperlink within the navigation settings which allows you to edit the sites’ navigation termset. Now first thing you should know is that that link is often broken out of the box. When you click it, you *should* only get the navigation termset and nothing

Ran into the above error message when I upgraded my CSOM DLL’s to the latest available version via NuGet. This awesomely descriptive error message is trying to tell you that CSOM is receiving a response from the server which it doesn’t understand well. Your best bet is reverting to the DLL versions you were previously

These days, provisioning is quite a hot topic in the land of Office 365 and SharePoint. So let’s start with a simple question: what exactly is provisioning? I don’t have a clean cut definition for you, but my personal view would be something like: “Provisioning for SharePoint is the process of deploying solution components in

The reusable content feature of SharePoint can be useful when you have content you want to have repeated on multiple pages. When you update the content, it will change on the pages accordingly. For a project I had the requirement to insert reusable content on a page programatically. There are quite some pages on this

Thinking of a title for this post, I wanted to start with “Inconvenient” because that pretty much describes the essence. Inconveniently enough that trademark has already been claimed by an MVP you might know if you ever search for anything SharePoint related (shout out to Waldek!). Anyways, as inconvenient as this all is, let’s get

I ran into a stubborn error message trying to connect to a catalog list defined on another site collection. The error was: Some tagging field(s) “owstaxidSector,owstaxidRegion,owstaxidProductx0020Class,” in the shared catalog could not be found in search schema. Now when I checked the catalog site search schema (can be found under Site Settings -> Search ->

Ok, I agree I’m late to the party introducing the [O365] tag in the title of this post. And I’ve got quite some blogposts already which also apply to Office 365. But to emphasize there is little difference in using CSOM either on premises or online, I thought this would be a good time to switch.

When setting up a second SharePoint farm for disaster recovery purposes, there are all kinds of things to take into consideration. Most of those are perfectly covered in other blogs and on TechNet. With the new app add-in model though, there is one additional factor to take into account: appsadd-ins! When in case of a disaster

It’s never a bad thing to look at what’s coming. This future peeking seems to be hot in the SharePoint world, with guys like Dan Holme, Benjamin Niaulin and Daniel McPherson giving their take on what’s in store for us. Interesting views which of course always include things like cloud, mobile devices and new ways of working for your

It seems this issue arises in almost every migration project: “Hey, we have a bunch of HTML based files which we’ve uploaded to SharePoint, but now they don’t work any more!”. With “don’t work”, usually it means the user is prompted to download the file instead of being able to just view it in the browser. So
