In order to be able to use subdomains for different sitecollections, we have to use hostheaders. Sharad Kumar provides a good example: $w = Get-SPWebApplication http://sitename New-SPSite http://www.contoso.com -OwnerAlias "DOMAIN\\jdoe" -HostHeaderWebApplication $w -Name "Contoso" -Template "STS#0" ```If we want to create, say http://rockets.contoso.com, we can run: New-SPSite http://rockets.contoso.com -OwnerAlias “DOMAIN\jdoe” -HostHeaderWebApplication “http://sitename” -Name “Rockets” -Template “STS#0” -Language 1053 restart-service iisadmin

Twitter Bootstrap is awesome, based on less.js, ust add this line in your html code: <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/1.3.0/bootstrap.min.css"> And your page looks already good. If you use css classes like btn label warning danger and much more, you get a right design directly out of the box. Now I want to test it in Sharepoint. Will it work? What do you think? jQuery Theme Roller. Another interesting resources are jQuery ThemeRoller.

Sometimes one may need more properties to track on a SPWeb beside Title and Description. One of the possibilities is to create a custom list (maybe a hidden one) with keys and values (Title and Value). It works fine. The good thing with it is also the possibility to change the key-value pair directly in the web interface. Another approach is to use web.Properties which is a Dictionary with key-values pairs.

Javascript is very fast, responsive and unburdens the cpu at the server. Here I show a little example how to use jQuery.getJSON, jQuery.tmpl (wonderful plugin for rendering repeating data, repo hosted on Github) and REST-based service listdata.svc from /_layouts/_vti_bin/ folder. For this example I created a generic list “Contacts”, added two text fields Name and Phone. Add some phone numbers and try to go to /_vti_bin/ListData.svc/Contacts If you get 404-error, install a ADO.

Well, if you need remove links to user profiles, you can iterate all td-elements with class ms-vb-user using jQuery each function and remove a elements. Here is a little script: $(document).ready(function() { $(".ms-vb-user a").each(function() { var text = $(this).text(); var span = document.createElement("span"); var user = document.createTextNode(text); span.appendChild(user); var parent = $(this).parent()\[0\]; parent.removeChild(this); parent.appendChild(span); }); }); ```EDIT 2012-02-05 A much more better way to do it is [to use replaceWith in jQuery](http://stackoverflow.

html5 provides more types of inputs than the classic submit and text and a few more. Here you can see an example on fiddle

Favicon is one of the hardest. Ctrl-F5 doesn’t help. You can of course see the source, find the location of the favicon, click on it (if you use Firefox or Chrome), otherwise copy the url and paste it in the address bar. When you load it separately, the favicon cache is renewed. It works. But if you want to make it easier for your users, set a version to your favicon file in the masterpage:

When you create an own view in schema.xml it is easy to show files first (Scope). It is quite useful if you want to show only few items on start page in xsltlistviewwebpart: Scope="Recursive" ```Though there is a problem when you provision this list instance. Thanks to [a great post of Koen van der Linden about how to show files recursively](http://kvdlinden.blogspot.com/2010/04/schemaxml-onetxml-and-baseview-doesnt.html) it is no big deal to solve it. Just add the same scope to View element in the module in onet, which provisions your site: <View List="$Resources:core,shareddocuments_Folder;" BaseViewID=“41” WebPartZoneID=“Middle” WebPartOrder=“2” Scope=“Recursive” />

Want to hide my site link without disabling social features. Well, the simplest way to do it is to use css: #mp1\_0\_0\_Anchor { display: none; } ```If you want to hide my profile instead, just hide #mp1\_0\_1\_Anchor: #mp1_0_1_Anchor { display: none; } .ms-MenuUIUL li[text=‘My Site’] { display: none;} ##### Disable the my profile feature An even better solution is maybe to disable the ability to change the profiles. [Just remove the permission to "user personalization.

Add link for “Go Back” in javascript (inspired by Webmasters tips): <a href="javascript:location.href=document.referrer;">Back</a> ```If you have access to the code behind you can [do the same](http://www.beansoftware.com/ASP.NET-FAQ/Referrer-URL.aspx) with: Request.UrlReferrer.ToString() ```If you want to go to site collection root, it is simple, too: <SharePoint:SPLinkButton runat="server" NavigateUrl="<% $SPUrl:~SiteCollection/%>">Start</SharePoint:SPLinkButton>
