Use PowerShell to Set Permissions on All SharePoint Libraries, Folders and Files

When you work with SharePoint permissions, you quickly figure out that you want to touch them as little as possible.  With a lot of things in SharePoint, permissions inherit top down.  So this means that it’s a best practice to always use that inheritance as much as possible.  But in today's post, I'll show you how to use PowerShell to change those permissions for all libraries, folders and files in the site!

Hide Root Node of the SharePoint Breadcrumb like a Pro with CSS!

Hide Root Node of the SharePoint Breadcrumb like a Pro with CSS!Instead of another blog about PowerShell, I wanted to share a quick trick with CSS.  It’s quite common in a SharePoint branding design to include a breadcrumb navigation.  In SharePoint 2007 there was a simple horizontal breadcrumb separated by arrows, and SharePoint 2010 incorporated a tree-style drop down breadcrumb.  The site to site breadcrumbs were removed starting in SharePoint 2013. 

There are many blogs on how to bring either the “up-folder” or simple horizontal breadcrumb back.  But sometimes, you want to hide the root node and the separator.  In today’s post I’ll show you how to do that with just CSS.

How to Migrate a SharePoint 2010 InfoPath List Form to SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint Online

Migrate InfoPath list form error
I’ve been working with a client recently to migrate their SharePoint 2010 farms to SharePoint 2013.  A lot of the data was being organized so it was quite a granular move utilizing one of the common 3rd-party migration tools Metalogix Content Matrix.  Of course some of the SharePoint lists had been customized with InfoPath.  While this is fine, I went to move the list with the migration tool, and all went fine until it tried to move the customized list form template - template.XSN.  It refused. This post details exactly what I did next to work around this!

How to Add the ID Column to SharePoint Email Alerts

imageGenerally the out of the box provided ID column is used as the “Issue ID” since it auto-increments by default.  Invariably, users need to be notified whenever issues are created or updated, so they subscribe to alerts on the list.  When they get their notification email, they notice that the Issue ID is missing, so they aren’t sure exactly which issue got updated. 

We can fix this by adding the ID field to the email alert file.  Let's take a look how.

Create a Simple Time-Based Email Reminder for SharePoint Calendar Events

imageSee if this sounds familiar:
Someone asks you “Can I get an email reminder for these events on the team calendar?”.  You think well, we can set alerts, so you go look into the alert settings, so you go look into the alert settings, and quickly realize that alerts don’t work like that.  The alert mechanism in SharePoint will send the alert subscriber an email based on an action happening on the item (it is being created, edited, etc).  We need the trigger to be based on a date.  So what to do?
