Add a webpart to page using Onet/Feature

-
Hi,

Custom home page is quite common requirement for any development project. This post helps you if you need to add out of box web part to page. This post contains good details how to deploy custom page.

The AllUsersWebPart tag allow us to insert a custom/Out of box web part and It also contains few attributes which are used to place web part. Two important attributes are WebPartOrder and WebPartZone attributes. The content of the tag is the dwp (or webpart) of any web part. The tag cloud dwp code example is given below:
<AllUsersWebPart WebPartZoneID="Right" WebPartOrder="3">           <![CDATA[<WebPart xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2">                       <Title>Tag Cloud</Title>                       <Description>Displays the most popular subjects being tagged inside your organization.</Description>                       <FrameType>TitleBarOnly</FrameType>                       <ChromeType>None</ChromeType>                       <AllowRemove>true</AllowRemove>                       <AllowMinimize>true</AllowMinimize>                       <Assembly>Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c</Assembly>                      <TypeName>Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.TagCloudWebPart</TypeName>                     </WebPart>         ]]>         </AllUsersWebPart>

For .webpart, following
<AllUsersWebPart WebPartZoneID="MiddleLeftZone" WebPartOrder="1">     <![CDATA[                                                     <webParts>         <webPart xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v3">           <metaData>             <type name="MyClass, MyAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f3b9d1137704f880" />             <importErrorMessage>No se puede importar este elemento Web.</importErrorMessage>           </metaData>           <data>             <properties>               <property name="AllowClose" type="bool">False</property>               <property name="AllowMinimize" type="bool">False</property>               <property name="AllowConnect" type="bool">True</property>               <property name="ChromeType" type="chrometype">None</property>               <property name="Hidden" type="bool">False</property>               <property name="AllowEdit" type="bool">False</property>               <property name="AllowZoneChange" type="bool">False</property>               <property name="MissingAssembly" type="string">No se puede importar este elemento Web.</property>               <property name="ChromeState" type="chromestate">Normal</property>             </properties>           </data>         </webPart>       </webParts>     ]]>   </AllUsersWebPart>

AllUserWebPart tag can be used in onet.xml under "File" tag. If we are adding the custom page using the feature then also the same way we can define this tag value to the File tag.

Thanks for your time :)...

Hi Guys, I recently experienced the migration from SharePoint 2010 to 2013. I was earlier hiding Ribbon using the SPSecurityTrimmedControl and CSS. But in SP 2013 MS has divided whole ribbon in two section: s4-ribbonrow and suiteBar Hiding the ribbon is as much as easier as it was in 2010 version. But here we just need to take care of above two mentioned sections. I have gone thorough some of the blogs where people are saying that we have change the html file(Seattle.html or oslo.html) and design manger will take care of creating master page for you (ref: Hide Ribbon ). But there is another traditional way of doing same, follow the given steps: 1) Open the master page file in the SharePoint designer. 2) Add the style tag to hide the ribbon for all the user: #s4-ribbonrow, #suiteBar { display : none; } 3) Now we have to do some more changes so that at least system account can access the ribbon. Find out the <div id="s4-ribbonrow"> tag. 4) Insert the following code insi

Hi, In my previous post( Creating and configuring Search service application ) I explained how to configure the search service application and its configuration. We can also search the external sites content using the SharePoint search just by creating new content source. Follow the given steps to create the new content source for external site.
