Getting SharePoint Feature IDs (the easy way)…

 

So I needed to grab the id of a feature so that I could programmatically activate it during a site / web provision process.  Google gives me a couple of lists with the standard features and ids.  It also tells me I can do a file contents search against the features directory once I’ve obtained the resource key from the global resources file (eek).

I wondered that, if in like rendering an OOB new/edit/display form, the SharePoint Developers at MS put the info I needed hidden in HTML?

Sure enough – the corresponding feature id is there as the ‘id’ of the div surrounding the button (input) element:

(Obviously, this only works for features that aren't hidden)

Programmatically Enumerating Databases in SharePoint 2010

See below -

using (SPSite site = new SPSite(url))

{

    using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())

    {

        SPFarm f = site.WebApplication.Farm;

        foreach (SPDatabaseService s in f.Services.OfType<SPDatabaseService>())

        {

            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Found Database service {0} of type {1}",

                s.Name, s.GetType().Name));

            foreach (SPDatabaseServiceInstance spdsi in s.Instances)

            {

                Console.WriteLine(string.Format("|-Found Database Service Instance {0} ({1})",

                    spdsi.DisplayName, spdsi.Name));

                foreach (SPDatabase spdb in spdsi.Databases)

                {

                    Console.WriteLine(

                        string.Format("  |-DB: {0}\r\n    |-TYPE: {1}\r\n    |-HOST: {2} ",

                        spdb.Name.Length > 70 ? spdb.Name.Substring(0, 65) + "..." : spdb.Name,

                        spdb.GetType().Name, spdb.Server.Name)

                        );

                }

            }

        }

    }

}

Results look something like:

Breadcrumbs in SharePoint 2010

(That don’t require a click)

 

One of the biggest surprises I came across in moving to 2010 was the lack of breadcrumbs?!

I came across a few articles that explained/showed how you could enable v3 based controls to show – but these didn’t work on all pages.

Anyway, without spending hours of time testing – try this:

1. Add reference to jquery (Master Page Edit, Control Delegate or inline content editor web part)
2. Add the following Javascript (again – via a master page edit, control delegate or inline content editor web part)
   

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('table.s4-titletable > tbody > tr').append('<td id="crum"></td>');
    $('td#crum').html($('.s4-breadcrumb').html());
    $('td#crum li > span > span > img').first().css('top', '');
    $('td#crum span.s4-breadcrumbCurrentNode').css('font-weight', 'bold');
    $('td#crum span.s4-breadcrumbCurrentNode').css('color', 'gray');
    $('td#crum').css('white-space', 'nowrap');
    $('td#crum li').css('padding-right', '2px');
});

 

You should get a result similar to below:

(Yes, they are clickable / functional and completely dynamic)

Workflow ?

In an ideal world, workflows would not be required. Any business/system transaction could be executed immediately as the mechanism performing the transaction would have immediate/unlimited access to the data produced by sub systems, components and users it requires to perform said transaction.

In a realistic world, this isn't the case and we need a mechanism to perform a transaction over a period of time that can withstand server and/or system restarts. These time delays are generally due to the fact users or systems aren't always immediately available to provide the information required to the mechanism to complete the transaction. To overcome this 'workflows' provide just that - a tool to facilitate transaction state during long running transactions that can withstand server and system reboots.

Workflow should be used to maintain the state of this transaction where the business/system transaction is awaiting data from a sub system/user and no where else.
The ability of the workflow to provide time based execution is an unfortunate and misused side effect. Keep it real and use the right tool for the job.
