"NAPA" for SharePoint Online

-

Hi Guys,

Recently, got chance to look out of SharePoint server versions towards SharePoint Online with office 365. I should say our Microsoft developers brothers are thinking a lot to save our time. What else a developer want if he come to know that he just need to open a browser and develop code there like w3school. Wooaa... !!

I just found a app called "NAPA" sounds similar to like "NASA" but really works like boon for app developers. While working on SP server, you might have noticed one site template "Developer Site", Well I never noticed that it such a fool. But this site allows you to create the online apps using the "NAPA" tool.

In order to install "NAPA" first followed this blog but could not worked for me :-( . Then I did google and found another way to make it work. Basically, we have to activate  the "Developer Feature" which is a site collection level feature and does have option to activate it from UI.

If you are using the SP server or on-premises version, then below command will work for you:

"Enable-SPFeature e374875e-06b6-11e0-b0fa-57f5dfd72085 –url http://<sharepoint site collection url>"

But I can help you if you are using SharePoint online version. Follow the below mentioned steps:

1) In your Office 365 Admin Panel, choose SharePoint

2) Create a Private Site Collection with "Developer Site" template.

3) Now open this fresh site and click on gear button(Site setting) on top left of page and then click on "Add an app" link.image_thumb_4

4) This will open a page where page which ask you to select the app template. But here you can find another option "Sharepoint Store" on bottom of the left navigation. Click on this link.

5) Now this is time you have to find NAPA app from the store (check your pockets for wallets guys!!). Just kidding, this app is totally free of cost. Type "WA102963791" code in to "Find an app" text box.

6) Here you go. That is all you have to do to start work with "NAPA".

I will be back soon with little more customization in Sharepoint Online as i will got experience to play with this beautiful online tool.

Thanks for your time :).

Happy Online SharePoinitng!!!

Hide Ribbon on SharePoint 2013 using CSS

-
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.
