This has nothing to do with SharePoint but I thought it was pretty cool. Here's how I got the Label Cloud working on blogger.

Programmatically Update Page Layouts

By -
I updated my page layouts that I deployed as a feature, but found that I could not overwrite the Layout File. The solution was to add a new page layout and then you would have to associate the new layout with every page on your site that used it. Obviously with a site of any size you'd have a lot of manual work to get this done, so doing it programmatically makes for a much better (and thorough) approach. After you've got your new page layouts, you could do something like this (in your event receiver class): public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties) { //replace current page layouts with new page layouts on all pages SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web; SwapPageLayout(web, "FullWidthContentWithTitleV1.aspx", "FullWidthContentWithTitleV2.aspx"); } private void SwapPageLayout(SPWeb web, string oldPageLayoutName, string newPageLayoutName) { PublishingWeb pubWeb = PublishingWeb.GetPu...

Debugging Your Assemblies Generated from STSDEV

Then click on the 'Advanced' button at the bottom of the Build configuration screen and change the 'Debug Output' value to 'full'. This tip came from the STSDEV discussion forum .

Restoring a lot of files from the Recycle Bin

By -
I had a customer who accidentally synched a (very large) SP Online library and then decided they didn't want the files on their PC anymore...so they deleted them and were shocked to learn that they'd been deleted from SharePoint too! Thanks to PnP Powershell you can use the following to restore a batch of files quickly (and filter). First, you'll want to make sure you only select the files you want to restore.  I used a combination of filtering by the person who deleted the files and the date they were deleted, e.g. Connect-PnPOnline https://yourtenanturl $restoreSet = Get-PnPRecycleBinItem | Where-Object { $_.DeletedByEmail -eq "imsorry@company.com" -and $_.DeletedDate -gt "1/1/2019" } Make sure you have a fairly updated version of the PnP Powershell module as the objects that come back have more properties populated than in older versions so you can do more powerful filtering Next you can restore the files like this: $restoreSet | Rest...
