I would need to have a personalized summary links web part in a given page.
So when a user logs into the site, he should see his own links as opposed to system wide links inside the links web part.
Is it possible to have a personalized summary links web part?
How would that work?
Thanks in advance.

Here's what you can do:
Add a User column to a standard links list.
Create a new view that shows only links of current user (use [Me] marker as column value in filter).
Modify the Web Part to use the new view.

I have updated an existing user DNN page with some text. I can preview this page using the Page Management page. Since I didn't create this page I don't know which other pages/menus contain a link to this page. How can I find out which pages/menus link to this page?
Thanks
Who or what created the page?
What is the URL that you visit to edit the page? (Edit the URL here to use a phony name.)
Getting the exact number of links to a page is almost impossible without the use of a site crawler, as the page could be referenced in many ways.
Via HTML Content on a Page - This would be in the HTMLText table of the database
Via a Page-Link Menu Item - This would be in the Tabs table of the database
Via a URL-Link Menu Item - This would be in the Tabs table as well, just tied by the URL rather than the TabId
There is no report/link in the DNN Platform to list all usages.
I have seen some sites where you search (in Google) for a particular item category and when you click the link found in Google it automatically goes to the site clicked with the search criteria filled in displaying the categorised products.
Hypothetical Example
Go into Google type in Sony TV , click to search.
Results are displayed.
Clicking one of the links takes me to a website which shows all the Sony TV models beginning with AA.
Looking at the search options on the page some fields have been automatically filled in (in other words if you did this search manually the site would prompt you to enter some search criteria) - Not sure if this is relevant but thought to mention.
How is this done? Do i need to setup something in our Google account to get the same results?
It's fairly simple. You pass parameters in your URLs that identify the product, and then you just read the URL parameters when pre-populating the search form on the page. When building your site / sitemap / internal & external links you use those page URLs and Google will naturally pick them up.
In your example, you search for Sony TV. One of the results may be
example.com/index.php?product=sony-tv
The website has the variable sony-tv, which it gets from the URL and pre-populates on the search form.
The important part to note is that the site will have built its URL structure in this method typically and the page you're presented with just happens to look like the site dynamically searched based on your query (it hasn't).
Is it possible to move the SharePoint 2010 BCS profile page, normally located under:
https://***.orbitone.com:443/__bdc/https___***_orbitone_com/Projects_1.aspx?JOB_ID={0}
To:
https://***.orbitone.com:443/Projects_1.aspx?JOB_ID={0}
Thanks!
It is a work around I guess but works well. I have tried it out.
1.) Create the profile page in the desired location (Web Part page)
2.) Export the web parts(2 web parts) from original profile page and add it to you custom page.
3.) Connect the web parts and test the page whether it is working properly like the OOTB profile page.
4.) Create a new action in the External Content Type and give the above new URL in the below format
https://???.orbitone.com:443/Projects_1.aspx?JOB_ID={0}
5.) Select the other parameters appropriately. Don't forget to give parameter as the identifier(JOB ID). Make sure you select this action as default action.
That's it :)
It should work in the way you expect. Let me know if you face any issues.
Keep in my I am using Dashboard Designer, SharePoint 2010 and PerformancePoint Server 2010.
I have a dashboard homepage showing a KPI for sales, by brand. I added a custom property "View detailed report" on my KPI. When I click on that, I want to be able to go to a second dashboard page featuring 5 scorecards and 2 reports for my sales, by brand. The brand needs to be a filter.
Obviously, what I wanted to do is to tell my second page on which brand to filter by using a querystring parameter, something like ?BrandFilter=[Brand].[X].[Y] ...
But, in Dashboard Designer, you cannot (?) have querystring based parameters. I know I can do it directly in SharePoint (with the corresponding web part), but then when I deploy my dashboard again, I lose custom changes I do to my pages.
I tried to create a custom transform for scorecards that would read the querystring and add PageFilters, but I faced two problems:
1. I cannot access the HttpContext from there (of couse!)
2. That would not do it for reports.
What should I do? Drop Dashboard Designer and work directly in SharePoint? I wish there is a solution with Dashboard Designer!
Thanks!
I found a way to do that. I customized my scorecard generation (using C#) and added a javascript method to my master page to handle all the links that are clicked. When I click on a link in a scorecard, I get the parameter from the current URL and update a filter inside the page with that. I can share more details on request...
I'm trying to use Google Analytics API to query internal searches that happen on my site.
I'd like to be able to query the keywords and the number of times that keyword was used in internal search, based on URL of a page on the site. The idea is to find out which keywords direct the user to a particular page.
Does anyone know which dimensions and metrics must use to query that information?
The information you are talking about is in the "Site Search Terms" Report.
First, you need to set up Site Search. This is straightforward. A step-by-step explanation is on this GA Help Page.
Once you've done that, you just need to know how to access the Report.
From the first page after GA login, select a Profile from the "View Reports" menu in the upper left-hand corner of the page
On the left-hand side of the page (in the margin) click "Content" (the fourth item in the list of Dashboard pages) which will expand the items subsumed under the Content section
"Site Search" will now appear in the margin below "Content"
Click "Site Search"; the Report will have three tabs: (i) Site Search Usage; (ii) Goal Conversion; and (iii) Ecommerce. Obviously, most of the information you are interested in is in the first tab.
Once the search tracking is set up as per doug's answer, the dimension is ga:searchKeyword, and the metric you need is ga:searchUniques (and you probably want to sort by -ga:searchUniques). I've checked this against the GA web report & it matches up - the documentation in the GA API Query Explorer isn't really clear on what the ga:searchUniques really counts.
