RE: My Site Themes

Hi Ken, My Sites are individual site collections so they don't inherit changes even if you make them at the root site. You would need to modify the site definition in advance or set the them programmatically after the fact. That being said, you can apply a global theme to your Profile pages bec

RE: Multiple deletion of SharePoint groups

Can I just provide a comma-separated list for the group names and a URL to the site collection? I'm surprised my goof friend Gary LaPointe hasn't already an STSADM command for this. :) From: ozmoss@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozm...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Brian Farnhill Sent: Tuesday, 7 July 2009 2:16

My Site Themes

Hey All, Just wondering if there is a way to apply a theme to everyone's "My Site", currently if I apply it only does it for my own "site", I want it to do this globally. Also there doesn't seem to be any links what so ever to take the user's back to the main site. Am I missing something?..

RE: Multiple deletion of SharePoint groups

Your best bet will be to delete them through code then - SPWeb.SiteGroups.Delete will do the trick. You could probably put together a powershell script to do it for you. From: ozmoss@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozm...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Tuesday, 7 July 2009 2:14 PM To: ozmoss@o

Multiple deletion of SharePoint groups

I know this can't be done through the UI but has anyone found a solution to this? A web part, custom page, console app...? I've got a bunch of groups that have come in via a site import and am not really looking forward to deleting them one at a time. I'll accept almost anything at this stage.

Erratic memberships

Hi all, It's me again, still trying to crack certain elements of the old membership walnut. This time, specifically, the Memberships web part on My Site profile pages. There appears to be no way to modify this web part so is anyone able to explain why I can only see some colleague's membership

RE: Staff Directory - filterable

Ken, Unfortunately, the built-in search web parts do not support running a "saved query" which would have allowed you to do what you want (which is basically running the same search every time a user browses to the page). You will have to develop a custom webpart that uses the search interface t

RE: Staff Directory - filterable

Hi Ken, No, you did things correctly but SharePoint doesn't look inside AD groups so you miss out on a lot of functionality. If you want the site membership functionality - My Links, My SharePoint Sites, Memberships web part, Save As locations from Office etc. - then you will need to add users
