SharePoint 2010 Metro UI

This project spawned from the desire to have a little funky landing page for a SharePoint 2010 site.

We are planning a few iterations of this project. For now there are 4 files.

  • MetroUI Master Page
  • MetroUI Css
  • MetroUI Layout page
  • Zip file of Metro Icons and background image

AutoSPInstaller

Automated SharePoint 2010 Powershell-based installation script.

Introducing AutoSPInstaller v3 with numerous enhancements including:

  • Granular SQL server assignment and aliasing for (almost) every service/web app (for control freaks)
  • Centralized, remote installation to all farm servers
  • Ability to specify any XML input file, by passing it as an argument to AutoSPInstallerLaunch.bat
  • Several tweaks & fixes

AutoSPInstaller works with and now leverages enhancements in SharePoint 2010 Service Pack 1 (with or without the June 2011 CU)! It takes advantage of some of the cmdlet updates in SP1, while remaining backward-compatible with non-SP1 deployments.

SharePoint Comments Anywhere

This is a very simple project which provides a commenting web part and a list template with the instance to store user’s comments. Comments Anywhere can be configured on any list, pages library or any page of the SharePoint site with a web part zone enabling users to add their comments virtually anywhere you as an admin or a power user of your site want them to.

SharePoint Slide Menu Control

The Slide Menu control represents the container for the menu structure. A menu is composed of MenuItem objects that represent the individual menu commands in the menu structure.

My Links Menu for SharePoint 2010

This control closely mimics the „My Links“ menu from SharePoint 2007. In addition to listing a user’s My Links and site memberships, it can also leverage SharePoint search to display a list of all sites the user has access to. Please see the documentation for installation instructions and for more information about using the search functionality.

 

SharePoint ToolBox 48 special 365tube

365tube

Last weekend I saw a demonstration of this cool application at the ShareCamp 2012 in Munich: 365Tube – a cloud-transition of the MOSS2007 podcast kit (PKS). It’s a Codeplex project so you can download the whole source code!

Using the code and instructions everyone can setup a private youtube-like video library, e.g. for enterprise-2.0 – in a few hours, completely built on cloud components. It also demonstrates how application design has changed from code-centric (in original pks) to service-centric cloud-modules, scaling from a handful of users up to 10.000s.

Documentation

Target audience

O365 subscribers who wonder how the SP online part can be used (better) or how applications should be build on SP online
O365 propects wondering whether or not to take the SP online module – and what kind of business impacts they can expect if they do
All users looking for an up-to-date replacement of the original PKS

Readiness

The first version of this PoC is a WSP file and a documentation how to set it up on Office 365. For high scalability and storage considerations Office 365 service was extended with the video transcoding service Transloadit.com and the cloud storage Amazon S3.
This example shows how easily such a scenario can be build – and modules can be substituted by similar ones, e.g. replace transloadit/S3 by recently announced Azure Media Services.

 

I have recorded the whole session for the SharePointPodcast which will be online later this week. The session was in German.
