Add Views to survey list

SharePoint handles Survey list little differently than the custom list or document library. So the new views cannot be crated on survey as on Custom list.

To achieve this follow these steps:

1. Get the GUID Url of the list on which you have created view.

   Easiest way to do so is 

Go to Site Action -> Site Settings 

Under Site Administration tab , Select Site library and lists

Select Customize “Your List name”

Notice in address bar you will get URL something like

http://WebapplicationName/sites/SitecollectionName/_layouts/SurvEdit.aspx?List={825760CD-090B-411F-805A-0C4796B50081}

a.       Yellow Highlighted part show GUID of your list

b.      Green Highlighted part shows type of list

2. Update URL

c.       Update “SurvEdit.aspx” with “ViewType.aspx”

d.      Remove  {} from GUID

e.      Url should look like

http://WebapplicationName/sites/SitecollectionName/_layouts/viewType.aspx?List=825760CD-090B-411F-805A-0C4796B50081

3. Past this new url in address bar , this will give view creation interface as we usually get for custom list or document library.

One of the properties of the Web Part has an incorrect format

We ran into this issue after cleaning disk space on C Drive . One of web front end server ran out of disk space and after performing disk clean up some users start reporting this issue .

Recycling IIS on same server fixed  this issue.

Elements of type 'Receivers' are not supported at the 'Site' scope. This feature could not be installed.

from my old documentation for Sharepoint 2007


While working on installing event receiver as feature receive error
 "Elements of type 'Receivers' are not supported at the 'Site' scope.  This feature could not be installed. "

This is because receivers scope limited to web site.

See here more details from Microsoft documentation 

An error occurred during the processing of . The event handler 'onclick' is not allowed in this page.

Pulling from my old notes:

Came accross this issue while  trying to run custom page deployed to share point  2007 site

"An error occurred during the processing of . The event handler 'onclick' is not allowed in this page."

When I check web.config file I notice   <PageParserPaths>.. </PageParserPaths> block was empty

<SharePoint>
    <SafeMode MaxControls="200" CallStack="false" DirectFileDependencies="10" TotalFileDependencies="50" AllowPageLevelTrace="false">
      <PageParserPaths>
<PageParserPath VirtualPath="/*" CompilationMode="Always" AllowServerSideScript="true" IncludeSubFolders="true" />
      </PageParserPaths>

Addition of highlighted line resolved the issue.

Resume SharePoint Crawls with PowerShell

Recently I worked on PowerShell script which is used to resume paused crawls.

We notice newly implemented backup solution is pausing the SharePoint ongoing crawls and over completion of the backup crawls not getting resume as expected.

This caused issue of delayed crawls and need manual intervention to resume paused crawls. Solution was to file post script over completion of the backup.
