Re: Powershell frustration....
I think you just want to put it into single quotes? Double quotes will expand the $webApp variable, single quotes won't. e.g. New-SPWebApplication -Name '$webApp.Name' -HostHeader etc Cheers, Tony On 9/01/2012 4:55 PM, Nigel Witherdin wrote: Hey All, An easy one Im sure, but I havent been able to come up with the right google search string to fine the answer myself I am writing a script that parses an XML file and creates web app, site coll, content db etc. based on the xml.

Re: Powershell frustration....
Alternatively, delimiting the value with quotes might work:
e.g.
New-SPWebApplication -Name ('{0}' -f $webApp.Name) -HostHeader etc

Page layouts
Hey all This should hopefully be an easy one. Does anyone know what page layout is used for system pages? (i.e. View all site content) For some reason, the breadcrumbs on system pages are messed up.

ECT in InfoPath
Hi Guys, Anyone had this issue. I have created a ECT, and its all working pretty well. I hooked it up to InfoPath using the External Item Picker, the search works well and i pick the record i am after, the next thing that comes up is There has been an error while processing the form no other errors anywhere. Same thing happens on List Forms that SharePoint Creates its self.

RE: Page layouts
Hi Brian Thanks for pointing me in that direction :) I decided to try modifying the masterpage first, before redoing everything in HTML. I hid the default PlaceHolderTitleBreadCrumb and created a 2nd one called PlaceHolderTitleBreadCrumb1. I think changed the page layouts used across the site to refer to the new placeholder, and it works great. The files in the 14 hive can now overwrite whatever they want because it's hidden, and the system pages display with the current nav as it doesn't know any better.

Also they use different properties on the ListSiteMapPath control to generate that cascading offset as well. You should be able to get around this in your master page by hiding the PlaceHolderBreadcrumb placeholder and just putting a constant set of HTML and controls in to the master page that you want to be used everywhere, because all the system pages just override that placeholder to do the content their way. Pretty sure there isn't ever anything else important that will get missed by hiding that place holder, but as always test your site after the change to be sure.

RE: Powershell frustration....
Found that if I use:
New-SPWebApplication -Name ({0} -f $webApp.Name) -HostHeader
that because it converts the XmlAttribute to a string, it seems to delimits the
string variable automatically (happy days!), so I dont need to delimit at all.
Many thanks
