Bulk Creation of SharePoint Site Columns and Content Types with PowerShell: Part 3

This post is the third in a series detailing the creation of SharePoint Site Columns and Content Types via PowerShell. The series has three parts as follows:

Part 1: Bulk Creating Site Columns with PowerShell

Part 2: Bulk Creating Content Types with PowerShell

Part 3: Bulk Adding Site Columns to Content Types with PowerShell

Bulk Adding Site Columns to Content Types with PowerShell: Overview While the previous two posts focused to the creation of Site Columns and Content Types, one final step remains; the addition (or linking) of Site Columns to the appropriate Content Types. If you evaluate the amount of clicks it takes to manually add Site Columns for use by a Content Type, then multiply that by your total Content Types, it is clear to see how PowerShell can greatly ease this tedious task.

Bulk Creation of SharePoint Site Columns and Content Types with PowerShell: Part 2

This post is the second in a series detailing the creation of SharePoint Site Columns and Content Types via PowerShell. The series has three parts as follows:

Part 1: Bulk Creating Site Columns with PowerShell

Part 2: Bulk Creating Content Types with PowerShell

Part 3: Bulk Adding Site Columns to Content Types with PowerShell

Bulk Creating Content Types with PowerShell: Overview While not as tedious as Site Column creation, manual Content Type creation produces enough workload to demand attention. Whether creating Content Types in the Content Type Hub, or in a decentralized manner across Site Collections, the click count more than warrants using an automated solution via PowerShell.

When SEO/Ad Serving Fails

This is not meant to be funny (and hope those affected by the tornado are okay), but this is a clear failure of SEO/Ad Serving that I had to capture. While it all depends on the level of ad serving intelligence (i.e. avoidance logic), and if the image is tagged properly (ex. cars destroyed), this could have been avoided. I hope the Weather Channel and Chevy can make an adjustment.

2013 Charlotte SharePoint Saturday: New Technologies, Same Challenges

Charlotte’s SharePoint Saturday was buzzing with the new technologies surrounding SharePoint 2013, but continued to demonstrate the core challenges when implementing solutions on this platform.

With strong regional and some national representation from the speakers, the daylong event offered insights ranging from development techniques to full Cloud based implementations. Within “the Cloud” domain, sessions discussed the traditional channel of SharePoint Online, but also leveraging Azure to build entire 2013 Farms in an off-premise environment. From a development standpoint, users are excited to embrace SharePoint as a development platform, especially considering the use of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. PowerShell also took center stage; not only for Farm deployment, but options for managing content in bulk and interaction with workflows…

Windows 8 Storage Spaces Performance Leaves a lot to be Desired

Like many, I was excited about the prospects of leveraging Windows 8 built-in Storage Spaces/Storage Pool functionality. I loaded 3 x 2TB 7200 RPM disks together only to be greatly disappointed by the performance. With Read/Write speed under 22MB, it would appear that running flash drives would be more effective. While Server 2012 has a more robust approach and speeds, I would place caution for those trying to leverage this functionality in Windows 8. I strongly recommend using Crystal Disk Mark to test the before/after performance of your disks to see if it will meet your requirements. Here is an article that also speaks to this issue: Storage Spaces Performance-Windows 8

SharePoint 2013 Managed Navigation

One of the most intriguing features of SharePoint 2013 is Managed Navigation. Per Microsoft, “Managed navigation lets you define and maintain the navigation on a site by using term sets. Managed navigation supplements the existing SharePoint navigation that is based on site structure. You create the managed navigation structure by adding terms to term sets in the Term Store Management tool. You can copy the navigation term set and translate it into the same languages that are used for variations labels.”

Source: TechNet

Key aspects of Managed Navigation include:

  • Driving navigation and URLs based on Term Store hierarchies, inclusive of drop downs since terms are hierarchical
  • Clean URLs for end users (ex. http://yourcompany.com/about-us)
  • Controlling navigation settings within Term Store Management
