Save document library as template option not available

by on May 21, 2013 in Administration

Problem

The Save Document Library as Template option is not available on the default Documents library that gets created by the site publishing feature.

Cause

This is a known issue in SP 2010 and a work-around has been provided.

Work-around

Open the document library -> Library Settings

On your address bar, change the link from this:

https://sharepointsite/_layouts/listedit.aspx?List=%7BAE8E37D9%2DCC63%2D4324%2D9A78%2D97D2E5426252%7D

to this:

https://sharepointsite/_layouts/savetmpl.aspx?List=%7BAE8E37D9%2DCC63%2D4324%2D9A78%2D97D2E5426252%7D

You should now be able to save your document library as a template.

by on August 4, 2011 in Development

Requirement

Create a calculated column called ‘Progress Report No’ based on the following format:

yyyy.MM.W(WeekOfMonth).

e.g. A report created on 4/8/2011 would be, 2011.8.W1

Using Export-SPWeb to export libraries / lists

by on June 23, 2011 in Administration

This is a simple one but many people get the syntax wrong when they try to export individual document libraries / lists.

Syntax:

To backup a document library called ‘Library1’ in ‘Subsite’.

export-spweb <http://sharepoint site/site collection/subsite/ -itemurl “/site collection/subsite/library1” -path c:\sharepoint\library1.cmp

To backup a document library called ‘Library 2’ in ‘Site Collection’.

export-spweb <http://sharepoint site/site collection/ -itemurl “/site collection/library2” -path c:\sharepoint\library2.cmp
