Offline Metadata Instances in SharePoint 2010 & OfflineTermstoreNames

If you're using powershell to add metadata to your termstore and you see only an entry in the OfflineTermstoreNames property, then it seems that some of your Metadata Services are offline.

C:\> $site = Get-SPSite http://mysharepoint/sites/project
C:\> $session = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.TaxonomySession($site) 
C:\> $session

To activate all instances open the SharePoint Management Shell and type:

C:\>$instance = Get-SPServiceInstance | ? {$_.TypeName -eq "Managed Metadata Service"}
C:\>$instace

It will now display all your instances. If the e.g. first and second are disabled, start it with:

C:\>$instance[0] | Start-SPServiceInstance #Start First
C:\>$instance[1] | Start-SPServiceInstance #Start Second

Wait few minutes. Grab the instance again and check if they are enabled:

C:\>$instance = Get-SPServiceInstance | ? {$_.TypeName -eq "Managed Metadata Service"}
C:\>$instace

Now all Termstores should be online.

Ways to redirect http requests in SharePoint

Image
The are multiple szenarios when you need a redirect in SharePoint: You've migrated SharePoint into a new URL (e.g http://sp2010 to http://sp2013) You moved a site collection You moved a sub site into a new site collection If you want to redirect in SharePoint without custom solutions you have the following options: Redirect with XML Viewer or Content Editor WebPart You can redirect with JavaScript by inserting a WebPart into the site and adding simple JavaScript. This is easy to configure but redirects only the site in which the WebPart sits (Probably the Mainsite). If users have saved links the their document libraries this method fails, unless you put the same WebPart into the document library. So go to the site you want to redirect and the XML Viewer WebPart. Open the WebPart settings and add the following line of code: <script type="text/javascript"> location.href = "<<the url you want to redirect>>"; </s

If you want to open a SP 2010 or in SP 2013 list item in a modal dialog you have two choices. Using the standard JavaScript functions or creating own functions. How to find which item URL is called If the dialog box appears you don't have an address bar to pick up the called URL. To see which URL is called when you edit or open a list item use the Internet Explorer Developer Tools. Open your source list in the Internet Explorer. Press F12 to open the developer tools. Click on the "Network" tab and then on "Start Capturing" Now click the link you want to track. You'll see the requests listed and you can also copy the urls for your need. SharePoint usually calls the /_layout/listform.aspx with the list parameter. The form then redirects to the appropriate list form.
