Organize departmental sites

$

Hello,

How to organize departmental content? Currently we have a subsite for a departmental site.

Ex: IT has a subsite and we have all the content related to IT in that.

1. Content that only IT accesses and IT contributes

2. Content that is accessed by outside of IT and IT contributes

We modify the content security to implement that. Is this the best approach?

What is the best way to organize the content to have content for that department and content for other departments.

O365: Is it possible to have a Custom Theme with very own colors on Communication Site?

...and I don't mean the "Customize" link for changing predefined poor colors for existing themes.

UPDATE:

I found the Theme Libraries with typing URL.

But when I try to upload a custom STYLE.SPCOLOR file, the error says

"The documents cannot be uploaded because different permissions are needed. Request the necessary permissions."

I have full control to whole site and site collection, I'm primary admin. I have allowed running custom scripts on sharepoint.

I am trying to add an item to an existing sharepoint online (O365) list from VBA using a code snippet that is published in many places on the internet. This must have worked for that version (SP 2010) but is not working against SP Online. I am logged on to O365 using a browser, I am admin for the list. I do get response code 200, but no item is added to the list.

What should change so that items are added a new item? Can somebody help me?

Hi All,

This is my first interaction with share point. We have a SP Site and under the list there is a table and when i click on it it shows the data from the table. This i was told two way, meaning when the users make a change to the data it gets updated in the end table ( sql server table) and also the data get loaded from the table and populates the list.

Two things , now i want to make this list to point to a different table on a different server (how do i edit that).

Secondly hows the data transfer happening between the list and the table. Please need help.

Thanks

When opening them from the SharePoint, some lines are automatically moved down.
When saving them first, and then opening them from local PC, everything is fine!

Anyone had that problem already?
Happens with SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013.

Would love to get some help.

How do I show documents users have access to on a home page?

$

I have a team site where users have access to different document libraries. I want to make the user experience more friendly by displaying the documents the users have access to, on the home page. That way when they go to the team site, they can see the documents they have access to on the home page.

Is this possible? If so, how do I get this working?

...thanks for the ideas.

System.IO.IOException: The network name cannot be found

I have an asp.net project that is running on the sharepoint server as an application pool. I am attempting to upload a pdf file to a sharepoint folder using filestream. I am getting this error:

System.IO.IOException: The network name cannot be found.

I am assuming it has something to do with the permissions on the sharepoint folder. It works fine on the client side when running from VS so I at least know the path is valid.

I have given Contribute access to the folder to myself and the account that is running the application pool. I am unsure of what else I need to do. Or is it related to something other than security/permissions?

Here is a screenshot of the error:

How do I change the image of tiles within a library?

$

This is NOT asking how to change the image of tiles in a list of promoted links because that seems to be all can find online. This is within a library with the All Documents view set to Tiles. I would like to change the image (which currently shows either a generic screen with globe line drawing or the first slide of the PowerPoint deck file - neither of which I want) to another image I have saved on my hard drive. There has to be some way of doing this because one of the images already changed automatically from that line drawing to the first slide of the deck. Please help. Thanks.

SharePoint 2013 OWA Server - Externally not accessible with Get-SPWOPIZone = external https

$

All,

Got a ticket today about OWA having issues being accessed externally.

I have my get-spwopizone = external https

I patched my OWA server yesterday and didn't seem like there are any problems.

Updated the wildcard certificate a couple months ago and I believe both were working (internally and externally).

Starting to think it never worked externally, but not sure.

Note - it works perfectly internally/on our network.

The error that users are seeing is "wac.contoso.com took too long to respond" on the browser.

Any ideas on how to fix?
