SharePoint 2013 Search Conversation Result Source

-
If you're wondering exactly what types of data the Out-Of-The-Box (OOTB) Conversation result source actually returns, here are some information that I gather by performing some simple test.

The result source ID for Conversations is 459dd1b7-216f-4386-9709-287d5d22f568.

It returns the following types of content

  • Personal Newsfeed posts and replies
    • Newsfeed activity posts are also returned which could it a pain. Activity feed is the post that tells people you posted something on a community site.
  • Discussion board posts and replies from community sites
  • Site feed posts and replies from community and team sites (and probably all sites that enable site feed feature)

SharePoint 2013 - Working with Display Template for Content Search Web Part

To create a custom display template, the best approach is to copy an existing one from Out-Of-Box display templates.  You can try each one and find the one that is closest to what you want to do. All the display templates are in the master page gallery.  To access it, Site Settings -> Master pages and page layouts -> Display Templates The Content Web Parts folder contains the display templates for content search web part and Search folder contains the display templates for the search results web parts.

For every content search web part, you usually have to specify two display tem...

I was looking for how to add custom spell check dictionary in SharePoint 2013 and I found this blog that describes it, http://softlanding.ca/blog/adding-words-to-the-sharepoint-spell-checker-dictionary-(sharepoint-2013-2010). Here is the summary steps in case the above link doesn't work any more. At the root level of your site create a document library called " Spelling " (make sure to name the document library exactly as listed here) On your desktop create a new text file called " Custom Dictionary ", so that the file name looks like " Custom Dictionary.txt " (make sure to spell the file name exactly as listed here) Open the " Custom Dictionary " text file and in this file type in the words you would like NOT to be considered misspelled words (please note that the words are case sensitive so I would have a separate entry for Softlanding and softlanding, and also please make sure each word is listed on a new line) Upload the " C...

Creating Self-Signed (domain) Certificate for Provider-Hosted App This is the certificate that will be used on the IIS site to make it SSL enabled site.  It’s different from the one to create the STS Security token.  If the certificate is not created with proper domain associated, you’ll have issues with calling the App Event Receivers.  To create the certificate and set it up on IIS, following the instruction below: Open Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt and type the following command makecert -r -pe -n "CN= spapps.rchen.com " -b 01/01/2013 -e 01/11/2015 -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 -ss my -sr localMachine -sky exchange -sy 12 -sp "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider" " D:\ Certs\SPAppCert.cer " certmgr /add " D:\ Certs\SPAppCert.cer " /s /r localMachine root *** You need to replace the domain ( spapps.rchen.com ) with your domain and the file path for the new certificate.
