SharePoint 2013 TermSet with PowerShell


Create new script with following code:

$session = Get-SPTaxonomySession -Site "Your site Url"
$termStore = $session.TermStores[“Managed Metadata Application”] - change your managed metadata service name
$group = $termstore.CreateGroup(“My New Group”)
$group.Description = "My Term Group"
$termStore.CommitAll()
$termSet = $group.CreateTermSet(“My TermSet”,1033)
$termSet.Description = “My TermSet”
$termSet.IsAvailableForTagging = $true
$termSet.IsOpenForTermCreation = $true
$termStore.CommitAll()

To enable the term set for navigation, i.e  "Use this Term Set for Site Navigation" 
use following code to make it enabled.

$navigationSet = $group.CreateTermSet($termsetName)
 $navigationSet.SetCustomProperty("_Sys_Nav_IsNavigationTermSet", "True")
 $navigationSet.SetCustomProperty("_Sys_Nav_AttachedWeb_SiteId", $site.ID.ToString())
 $navigationSet.SetCustomProperty("_Sys_Nav_AttachedWeb_WebId", $site.RootWeb.ID.ToString())    
 $navigationSet.SetCustomProperty("_Sys_Nav_AttachedWeb_OriginalUrl", $site.RootWeb.Url )
You can check your new termset inside "My New Group" : go to  site management -> Term Store Management.

    Hi, Anuja. This is a nice post. Do you know, though, that if you attach this termset to a site it cannot be used again by another site for navigation. What you want to do is make a new termset in your site collection termset (look at the list of groups in your termstore) and then copy terms to it. This way you can reuse the terms over and over. It isn't many more lines of code.

Search Result Webpart,Filter result If QueryString is present in URL

Image
There was a requirement to filter the search result based on QueryString present in url, and if no QueryString present then should populate all the results. Issue was simple to resolve if every time there is QueryString present, then below Query will do the job. Below filtering the result by checking managed metadata property equals the query string value. Above query was filtering the result based on QueryString given in URL. However it fails if there is no QueryString present in url.  "No result found" message appear. Ideally should populate all the results. And filter should be optional in query for this scenario. So I need to modify the query and to add some condition like, if QueryString present then check managed metadata property equals the query string value, else no. To achieve this, there is syntax  {searchboxquery} {? <some KQL expression> } , If MyParameter querystring is not present in URL,  then just first part of KQL query wi...

Permission denied for "Add and Customize Pages" in Sharepoint Online

Image
Problem: I have created root site in SharePoint Online, weird problem I started facing is being a site administrator I was not able to customize the page/ upload the any page or master page. As in image below, for some reason I am set as Deny to "Add and Customize Pages". The problem is related to 'Scripting Capabilities' being turned off by default for the root site collection in Office 365. I found some article on community: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Turn-scripting-capabilities-on-or-off-1f2c515f-5d7e-448a-9fd7-835da935584f?ui=en-US&=amp&rs=en-US&ad=US It mentions that turning on scripting through the Sharepoint Admin Settings and wait around 24 hours. However, this did not work for me. still the issue was there. Following lines of script did a trick. Solution: Connect-SPOService -Url https://<yoursitename>-admin.sharepoint.com -credential <admincredentials> Set-SPOsite https://<your root site ur...
