Sharepoint shortcut URL's

Hi Guys,

Sometimes we wanted to bypass some of the UI navigation steps and wanted directly to get into some page like settings or edit mode etc.,

Here are some of the relative links that I know.

Site Settings page:
/_layouts/settings.aspx

View all site content page:
/_layouts/viewlsts.aspx

Pages library:
/pages/forms/allitems.aspx

Manage Site Collection features page:
/_layouts/managefeatures.aspx?Scope=Site

Manage Site Features page:
/_layouts/managefeatures.aspx

Sign in as a different user prompt:
/_layouts/closeconnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true

If you want see which all webparts on a page, you can simple go to Web Part Maintenance page by adding the below query string to the end of the URL of any aspx page.
?Contents=1

Sandboxed Solution Gallery page:
/_catalogs/solutions/Forms/AllItems.aspx

Welcome Page settings page:
/_layouts/AreaWelcomePage.aspx

Happy Learning...

Javascript to check broken links

Hi Guys, recently i came across to find out whether the given set of URL's are broken links or not.

I have created below sample snippet to findout whether a URL exists Or not.

<html>
<head>
<script type = 'text/javascript'>
function IsUrlExists(url) {
  var http = new XMLHttpRequest();
  alert(http);
  http.open('HEAD', url, false);
  http.send();
  alert(http.status);
  return http.status != 404
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" name="Url" id="url">
<input type="button" value="Check" id="btncheck" onclick="IsUrlExists(document.getElementById('url').value);">
</body>
</html>

 Hope this helps..

Publishing Infopath Form to a new site/ Infopath change publish location

Hi Folks,

 In this post we are going to Change the target site/ list url for publishing Infopath form

 Problem Statement:
You have a Infopath form developed with a List template, present in a Sharepoint List of Development Environment. Now that you want to publish this form to Production environment but while publishing you will not be prompted to enter new URL in publishing wizard.
When you try to open the publishing Wizard from File Menu and then click on Publish you can see only the below two options.
·         Sharepoint List
·         Export Source Files
The "Sharepoint List" option remembers the Quick Publish Location and even has a Label stating: "The form will be published to: http://oldurl"
Clicking on the it, just does exactly the same as Quick Publish action i.e., quick publish without bringing up the wizard to choose the publish location.
Solution:
I found the best approach as below. It involves in updating the manifest files and view files. Below is the approach which does the trick.
1.       Infopath form (xsn) file is basically a cab file with bunch of related files in it.
2.       Rename xsn to cab extension
3.       Extract the cab file to a location
4.       Open the manifest.xsf file and replace the OLD URL with new URL.
5.       Update the new ListID and ContentTypeID in the Manifest.xsf(If you don’t do this, you will get List not found error).
6.       Open all the xsl files(views) present under extracted folder and perform the steps 4 and 5 if it has old URL and ListID/ContentType ID present.
7.       Save all the modified files and then right click on the manifest.xsf file and open click on design.

8.       This will open the Infopath form and Go to Publish. You will be able to see the updated New URL. Go ahead and Publish It and you are done.
