Sitecore custom publish agent from specific node and at a specific time

Hi all, As you all know, scheduled publishing will not run automatically unless you enable PublishAgent task in Sitecore config. By default, all items that are in publish queue will get published when this task triggers. This includes all items in the final workflow state and all items that don't have workflows. Sometimes this is not what you want. Maybe you don't enable workflow on media items and you don't want the items to go live when they are not ready. The workaround is to create your own PublishAgent task. Looking at the one provided, we can easily extend the code to insert the RootItem to the PublishOptions (this only works with Full or Smart publish mode however): You will notice that on the Run method I check whether the server time is around the time I set in the parameter (thanks to this post for the code).

Ajax Control Toolkit with SharePoint 2013 - How to make this work

Image
Hi all, Trying to use AjaxControlToolkit with SharePoint 2013, I managed to make this work using the following steps: 1. Download latest (.NET 4.5) version from  http://ajaxcontroltoolkit.codeplex.com/releases/view/112805 2. Add Reference in your VS solution (both AjaxControlToolkit and AjaxMin dlls) 3. In Package designer, create safe control entries for both: 4. SP Web.config needs to have the AjaxControlToolkit assembly in compilation/assemblies node. I use SPWebConfigModification in feature receiver (web application scope) to do this. 5. Replace the default ScriptManager in your masterpage with the ToolkitScriptManager 6. Important: Move this section from the head tag to the body tag in your master page after the ToolkitScriptManager to avoid databind issue That's all I had to do. I used the Ajax Combobox and bind my datasource in code behind and it is working fine. HTH, Andreas

CRM 2011 Javascript Retrieve Record using jQuery REST Endpoints.

Using jQuery and REST Endpoints is one of the easiest way to get record details in CRM 2011. To do this you just need to include: 1. jquery-1.6.2.min.js (or just get the latest version) 2. json2.js The SDK provides some functions for retrieving records: Use retrieveRecord if you know the ID of the record. Otherwise, use retrieveMultiple if you want to get the record(s) based on some filters as it will return an array of result objects. Example: In a custom entity form, I have an Account lookup field and an Account Number field. I want to auto-populate one of the field based on the other field and vice versa. Therefore: Hope this helps, Andreas
