26. 10 SharePoint WCM Tips’N’Tricks 20

27. Tip #1: Be careful what you promise Well-formed XHTML vs. Valid XHTML CQWP vs. Managed Metadata No more support for IE6! Custom vs. out-of-the-box Out of the box: solid foundation Still lots of partner opportunity 21

28. Tip #2: UseSimpleRendering SharePoint 2007 menu as tables UseSimpleRendering New property on the SharePoint 2010 menu control Renders menu as a nested unordered list <SharePoint:AspMenuUseSimpleRendering="true"runat="server"/> 22

29. Tip #3: Make branding available in RTE RichHtmlField attributes StyleSheet – point to your CSS file PrefixStyleSheet – create custom prefix to suppress standard branding Doesn’t work with CEWP! <PublishingWebControls:RichHtmlFieldFieldName="PublishingPageContent“StyleSheet="<% $SPUrl:~sitecollection/Style Library/CSS/styles.css %>"PrefixStyleSheet="m-“HasInitialFocus="True“MinimumEditHeight="400px"DisableInputFieldLabel="true"runat="server"></PublishingWebControls:RichHtmlField> 23

30. Tip #4: Test anonymous ASAP Same as in MOSS 2007 but now even more important Requires extra attention SharePoint LINQ Silverlight OM Hierarchical titles http://blog.mastykarz.nl/go/diwug-4 Body ID’s http://blog.mastykarz.nl/go/diwug-5 24

31. Tip #5: Unlock Client OM for anonymous $wa = Get-SPWebApplication -Identity "http://diwug" $wa.ClientCallableSettings.AnonymousRestrictedTypes.Remove([Microsoft.SharePoint.SPList], "GetItems") $wa.Update() Keep in mind: Decreases security! More info:http://blog.mastykarz.nl/go/diwug-3 25

32. Tip #6: Mind new inheritance model In SharePoint 2007 <FieldRefs /> to inherit all fields In SharePoint 2010 Inherits=“TRUE” FieldRefs not requiredanymore 26

33. Tip #7: Use conditional content Leverage conditional controls to optimize page output Use conditional processing instead of conditional rendering More info:http://blog.mastykarz.nl/go/diwug-6 27

34. Tip #8: Set the defaults DefaultPageLayout: new in SharePoint Server 2010 Publishing Feature Configures the default Page Layout used for one-click creating new Publishing Pages <WebFeatures> <FeatureID="22A9EF51-737B-4ff2-9346-694633FE4416"> <PropertyKey="DefaultPageLayout"Value="~SiteCollection/_catalogs/masterpage/MyLayout.aspx"/> </Feature> </WebFeatures> Tip: Want to create pages even faster?http://blog.mastykarz.nl/go/diwug-7 28

35. Tip #9: Control your CSS Introduced in SharePoint 2007 Allows you to register CSS file New in SharePoint 2010: After property Allows you to load your CSS after some other CSS <SharePoint:CssRegistrationname="<% $SPUrl:~sitecollection/Style Library/myStyles.css %>"After="corev4.css"runat="server"/> 29

36. Tip #10: Disable SharePoint Designer Not needed in production for Internet-facing websites Disabling finally supported! Configurable per: Web Application Site Collection 30

37. Tip #11: Don’t use Pages in code In MOSS 2007 Title depends on locale (Pages/Pagina’s/Seiten) Same URL (Pages) Except for German: Seiten In SharePoint Server 2010 “fixed” Both title and URL depend on locale Retrieve dynamically In code: PublishingWeb.DefaultPagesListName In XML: $Resources:osrvcore,List_Pages_UrlName; <PropertyKey="SearchCenterUrl"Value="~SiteCollection/nl/Search/$Resources:osrvcore,List_Pages_UrlName;"/> 31

38. Tip #12: Disable Presence Supported! No more dodgy JS Per Web Application setting 32

39. Tip #13: Hide Ribbon from anonymous users Conditional processing and Conditional rendering don’t work What you need to do Hide in CSS <Mavention:SecurityTrimmedControlRenderingAuthenticationRestriction=“AnonymousUsersOnly”runat=“server”> <styletype=“text/css”> .ribbonbackground{ display: none; visibility: hidden; } </style> </Mavention:SecurityTrimmedControlRendering> 33

40. Extra tip: Learn your tools Great capabilities Lots of new features New way of thinking It does pay back! 34
