SharePoint 2013 Apps: Accessing Data in the Host Web in a SharePoint-Hosted App

How to get the hosting  web title in sharepoint app ?


refer here

var context;
var web;
var user;

function sharePointReady() {
context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
web = context.get_web();
context.load(web,"Title");
context.executeQueryAsync(onGetWebSuccess, onGetWebFail)
}

function onGetWebSuccess() {
$('#message').text('The title of this App is ' + web.get_title());
}

function onGetWebFail(sender, args) {
alert('Failed to get user name. Error:' + args.get_message());
}

This code results in the following output:

This is the easy scenario. If I’m developing a SharePoint-hosted app, then I can easily get to the App Web through the clientcontext.get_current( )method which returns the current context that the user is running in.

However, if you want to access information in the Host Web, a different approach is required. You might think that you can just load the context of the app using SP.ClientContext and passing the string of the Host Web like so…

var web;
var hostcontext;

function sharePointReady() {
var hostUrl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter("SPHostUrl"));
hostcontext = new SP.ClientContext(hostUrl);
web = hostcontext.get_web();
hostcontext.load(web, "Title");
hostcontext.executeQueryAsync(onGetWebSuccess, onGetWebFail);
}

function onGetWebSuccess() {
$('#message').text("The title of the host web of this app is " + web.get_title());
}

function onGetWebFail(sender, args) {
alert('Failed to get lists. Error:' + args.get_message());
}

//this is just the sample function that's in all the MS samples

function getQueryStringParameter(paramToRetrieve) {
var params =
document.URL.split("?")[1].split("&");
var strParams = "";
for (var i = 0; i < params.length; i = i + 1) {
var singleParam = params[i].split("=");
if (singleParam[0] == paramToRetrieve)
return singleParam[1];
}
}

 …But nope. As soon as you try to execute a query against anything in that context, this is what you get:

So what is the right way? You need to use an object called the AppSiteContext. If you swap out the sharePointReady function from the previous example with this…

function sharePointReady() {
var hostUrl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter("SPHostUrl"));
currentcontext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
hostcontext = new SP.AppContextSite(currentcontext, hostUrl);
web = hostcontext.get_web();

currentcontext.load(web, "Title");
currentcontext.executeQueryAsync(onGetWebSuccess, onGetWebFail);
}

Additionally, you must give the app read access to the Host Site Collection through the App Manifest.

Once you configure this, then you get the output we’re expecting:

The AppContextSite uses the current context to load the Host Web Context. In the background, the SharePoint client object model is brokering all the tokens and fun Oauth security for you so that the App can act on your behalf when it accesses the Host Web.

For those of you who are REST purists, an example of doing the same thing is on the this Technet article [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp179927.aspx]. But in my app, I’m using the Client Object Model and there really weren’t any examples out there that showed how to do this using CSOM.

Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features' Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.

Having this error was so annoying since I tried to google it but no step-by-step instructions how to fix it. Anyway, I had this error while trying to deploy thevisual web part for Sharepoint 2010 within VS 2010. There are at least 2 reasons why you’re getting this error:

1.    Bear in mind that you can only deploy the solution of the visual web part at a farm level. You will get this error while trying to deploy the solution at a site level. This is related to the correct site url you enter while creating the project. It is recommended that you always click on “Validate”.

2.    It is so obvious from the message that your windows login does not have the right “site collection” permission.

What I’m going to talk about and step through is point #2 (not having the right permission). Reason being is whichever the windows login that you’re using to deploy the solution, Sharepoint will use it to check if you’re authorised to deploy any solutions or not (not just deploying actually).

Step 1

Fire up the Sharepoint 2010 Central Administration.

Step 2

Go to Application Management –> Change site collection administrations

Step 3

Select the correct site collection and type your windows account as the secondary site collection administrator

Now try to deploy the solution again and it should work!

How to Fix lookup columns in SharePoint using powershell

Referred from : http://asharepointsolutions.blogspot.in/

How to Fix lookup columns in SharePoint
I have deployed some list templates and found that Lookups are got broken,
After googling, I found that here, that using PowerShell we can fix the Lookup:

//We can create PowerShell Function as follows:

Function Fix-LookupColumn ($webURL, $listName, $columnName, $lookupListName)
{
    #Get web, list and column objects
    $web = Get-SPWeb $webURL
    $list = $web.Lists[$listName]
    $column = $list.Fields[$columnName]
    $lookupList = $web.Lists[$lookupListName]
 
    #Change schema XML on the lookup column
    $column.SchemaXml = $column.SchemaXml.Replace($column.LookupWebId.ToString(), $web.ID.ToString())
    $column.SchemaXml = $column.SchemaXml.Replace($column.LookupList.ToString(), $lookupList.ID.ToString())
    $column.Update()

Remove HTML Tags in SharePoint 2010

Always I’ve  faced the same problem and solved it in the same why when I deal with text fields in SharePoint which is remove the Html tags for the returned text to display it as a plain text. Each time my best solution is googling for the regular expression to replace Html tags with empty string

Unfortunately  I find a method in Microsoft.SharePoint namespace to do this and offer also sub string for the returned text which is:

SPHttpUtility.ConvertSimpleHtmlToText(HTMLText , maxLength);

To remove tags and sub string it to max length

or

SPHttpUtility.ConvertSimpleHtmlToText(HTMLText , -1);

To remove tags only

working with delegate controls

source --http://digsharepoint.blogspot.in/2012/02/what-is-delegate-controls-in-sharepoint.html

SharePoint provides a mechanism that allows developers to customize out-of-the-box functionality in pages, without the need for modifying the pages that come with SharePoint. This mechanism is provided with delegate controls. I am going to show you how to create a delegate control that you can use to override the Global Navigation bar at the top of standard SharePoint pages.

Definition

First off, it's important to understand what a delegate control is, so we can properly create and apply it in the specific situation we are developing for. A delegate control defines a region in an aspx page that allows the content to be replaced with our custom content. This custom content is created via a SharePoint feature, and when deployed and activated, replaces the standard content at runtime.

Development

The Global Navigation bar is located at the top of all the pages in a site, and the master page uses a delegate control in a placeholder to determine what to render at runtime. Here is the markup for the delegate control:

<SharePoint:DelegateControl runat="server" ControlId="GlobalNavigation"/>

Note that the ControlId value determines what delegate control is, so for our example the Global Navigation bar has a ControlId value of GlobalNavigation.

Once we know the name of the delegate control we are working with, we are ready to write code for our delegate control.

Open Visual Studio 2010 and create a new Empty SharePoint project. Map a folder to the CONTROLTEMPLATES directory in the SharePoint root (the 14 hive). Add a new SharePoint 2010 User Control by right-mouse clicking the CONTROLTEMPLATES mapped directory, from the Solution Explorer. Give the user control an appropriate name (I named it ucGlobNavDelegateControl). Once the control is created, open it in the Designer and add some markup:

You will also need to create an Elements.xml file, so add a module to the project, which will create the Elements.xmlfile as part of it (you can delete the Sample.txt file created).

Delete the markup between the Elements tags, and add the following markup:

<Control Id = "GlobalNavigation" Sequence="90"  ControlSrc="~/_ControlTemplates/ucGlobNavDelegateControl.ascx" />

This markup associates the delegate control we are creating with the delegate control placeholder defined in the master pages in a SharePoint site collection. Note that the ControlId value equals GlobalNavigation, which specifies that our custom delegate control is overriding the Global Navigation control. The Sequence value must be less than 100, since SharePoint will render the control with the lowest sequence (the default control is set at 100). The ControlSrc value indicates the location to our custom delegate control.

Deployment

Deploying our custom delegate control is done using a feature, so create a feature in Visual Studio and name itMyCustomGlobalNavigationFeature. Add the module you created to it, and set the feature scope to Web. Compile and deploy the project to your SharePoint site.

Once your feature is deployed successfully, you should be able to verify that your feature has been deployed and activated in your site by managing the Site Features, under Site Settings. Look for your deployed feature, as shown here:

If your feature is properly activated, you should now see the Global Navigation replaced by your custom delegate control:

Conclusion

And that's all there is to it! Of course, the example here is basic, so there is a lot more that can be done with delegate controls. I am also including a screenshot of my Solution Explorer in Visual Studio, so you can get an idea of how my example project was structured:
