Does anyone know where to get the site theme for SharePoint 2010 that microsoft is using for the Adeveture Works site? I saw it once, but cant find it now. I want to brand our site close to that.
The theme you are looking for is coming from nightandday.master which is available in publishing site, as soon as you create a publishing site nightandday.master page is set as default.
Let me know in case if you need more information.
Adventure Works is a generic name that Microsoft uses for several demo sites (much like Contoso). Adventure Works is certainly the logo that shows for the out of the box NightAndDay.master but there are other Adventure Works master page designs available from Microsoft. Currently they are only available for SharePoint 2007 but that will change in the near future. Here is one (I can only post one link because I'm new):

First of all, I have to say that I am NET developer (C#) and my knowledge on Dynamics 365 is pretty limited. Nevertheless my employer thought that I am good enough to make that thingy from post title :)
After couple of hours researching and reading, I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LwZLoXS6jo which address on how to create and send SMS from Dynamics. I am aware that this require me to create new Dynamics entities, at least SMSMessage and SMSMessageTemplate, but at least I found out how to do this :)
I understood everything stated there, but as i already said, due to my lack of knowledge on Dynamics 365, I got problems with (probably) basic things regarding Dynamics.
Here are those problems:
1. As far as I can tell, in order to build SMS gateway, first thing I need to do is to add new menu item inside Dynamics 365. I presume that this new menu item should reside inside 'Contacts' menu (contacts.jpg, marked with red box) but I am not sure on how to achieve this. Please note, I do not want someone to provide me with some magic solution, I just need someone to provide me with valid links that I can use to learn about this and solve my own problem :)
2. When new menu item is in place, and user click on it, I would like to open up a form for user to select SMS template that will be used and maybe setup some other values. Same again, U do not need to help me with exact code, just with some usable links :)
3. Inside that form that user will open on menu click, I would like to know how to get list of selected contacts (from grid at contact.jpg)
When I (finally) have that list of contacts, I will create SMS entities mentioned above (video link) and everything will fall in place and (hopefully) work.
I am aware that this is probably too much to ask, cause Dynamics 365 is rather complex, and people are spending great amounts of money and their time learning to became Dynamics developers, but without help, Dynamics is making me running in circles chasing my own tail :) and getting nowhere.
Also, I will be using online Dynamics 365 so bare in mind that any solution should work with it.
if any of U think that I missed or got something wrong, please let me know.enter image description here
So basically to get you started, you should:
1) Create a solution in Settings => Customizations => Solutions
2) Add contact entity to that solution (by choosing "Add existing" under Entities pane). Don't click "Add all assets" you will need only contact metadata to get going
3) Create jScript file and add a web resource to CRM (nothing really complicated, just go to web resources in you solution and click "Add new" and specify type of your web resource as jScript and target your file).
4) Now download http://www.xrmtoolbox.com
5) For now you are interested only in plugin "Ribbon Workbench"
6) Now simply choose your solution and contact - you will see command bars for contact homepage, list and form. This is pretty strainghtforward - simply drag and drop a button wherever you like, create a command using workbench and bind the button with the command (simply choose it from a drop-down). The command you are interested in is Custom Javacript. Here you specify your web resource and name of the function that you want to call. You can also specify parameters that should be passed inside your function for example ids of selected items (if you are on the list of records).
There are many approaches to fulfil your specific needs, but being able to call a custom javascript function from a button should be a good starting point, the rest is simply the knowledge of CRM SDK, so how to create an entity using API or open a form or open a web resource - everything is very well documented and you can get it simply by asking google, so I will not post any blog here, not to advertise too much. Also I's suggest downloading latest CRM SDK (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50032) - you have many sample code there, regarding plugins and some form modifications, you should also check this out.
To make it easier for you, you should refer to this "menu" as "Command bar" or "Ribbon", so rather look for "adding custom button to command bar CRM 2016" and you will be all good. Also to make a form for choosing a template, you will probably need some custom web resource, so "creating custom html5 web resource CRM 2016" should give you some good examples.
My problem goes, as the title says, create web pages programmatically of multiple solutions on SharePoint 2010; because when I do deploy one solution the program recognize my site templates and I can create without problems, but when I do deploy two solutions the program not recognize second site templates. Normally I have 50 site templates on 1033 and each solution add 3 templates to 1033, but at the end I only find 53.
this.webTemplates = site.RootWeb.GetAvailableWebTemplates(1033);
int a = this.webTemplates.Count;
//a = 53 =(
When I re-run the application I find the 56 templates but I need to make deployment both solutions in one and found all templates. So, there some service I have to restart or update some element?
Thanks in advance! And sorry if my English is not so good.
Like the title says, I'm looking for a way to restrict user creation of blogs in MySites. I've been researching this for the past few days and can't seem to find a good option.
Presently, I'm hiding the links to create a blog through a custom Master page. I'm using feature stapling to add the custom Master page to MySites which is working; however, not really a 'best practice' since using the URL to create the blog site will still work.
I also don't want to manually change files in the SharePoint root directory structure as it is a poor practice in an upgrade path.
I would appreciate any insight...
If you're hosting MySites in a separate Web Application, you can use an Event Receiver (derived from SPWebEventReceiver and implementing WebAdding) and check that the WebTemplate is BLOG.
I need to be able to deploy bunch of aspx files when a site (sub-site aka web) is provisioned. I added a feature but it seems whole feature thing has changed with vs 2010 or sp2010. I am totally lost. All I want to do is to deploy these pages when a web is provisioned. Is it possible?
You can't drop aspx pages into SharePoint per say. If you want to add functionality, some of the options are:
1) Using Web Parts - probably the most popular method
2) User Controls
At the end of the day, you will create it as a Feature using VSeWSS 3.0 in VS and packaging/deploying it as a solution. Steer clear of trying to hack this up in SharePoint Designer - for one, you won't have source control like you have with a Feature.

I've been away from SharePoint development for quite a while now, and I'm trying to access the information in a SharePoint 2010 blog (from one of our users, within their "MySite") from a C# webpart which will reside on the homepage of the site. The idea is to be able to highlight a certain user's latest post on the home page.
Can anyone help me to reference the blog (in dev it is located at http://myServer/my/BillsBlog) from our homepage. I've tried the following...
Reference an SPSite giving the URL as a constructor parameter, then get the correct web from there. This fails. (I'm guessing the blog is a web, rather than a site collection, but am open to being corrected there)
Get the current context from SPContext.Current, and access the AllWebs collection from there, but this doesn't inculde the /my web.
Once I find the appropriate container (SPSite or SPWeb) I can access the list to pull out the items I need, but I don't know how to get to that point. In a console App, I have it working by using the method in the first bullet abouve.
I'm really pretty much stuck now, and I simply don't know enough about what I'm looking fro to be able to search Google for answers. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
OK, my mistake. The webpart project was set up as a sandboxed one, so the approach in bullet 1 wouldn't work. Changing that switch meant it is now OK and working as per the console app.
Thanks for reading.
