Unchecking the 'send email' option when adding users to a group.

By -
Most of the time we don't want to send extra emails to people so we wanted to uncheck the send email checkbox from the New User form. Here's how:

Repeat this process for each front end-web server:
  1. Open C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\AclInv.aspx
  2. Find the control with ID="chkSendEmail"
  3. change the Checked="True" attribute of this control to Checked="False".
  4. No IISRESET is required

ERROR: Failed to create feature receiver...

By -
I was working on a STSDev project which deployed a feature with a feature receiver.

My FeatureReceiver's namespace was not prefixed with the right namespace So just

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
