Comment on SharePoint 2010: “No content types have been subscribed” Message by Ian Woodgate

Thanks Matthew, I didn’t know about clicking OK, must have done it though. You can actually get the blank site template to work with the content type publishing, but you have to activate a feature through the command line, see http://blog.pointbeyond.com/2010/04/24/can’t-find-“content-type-publishing”-link-or-use-managed-metadata-columns

Thanks
Ian

I want to help everyone out there having the same problem I did.

The following things were wrong with my case:

1. I had created my Site Collections using the Blank site template. This is an issue and in order for the Content Type Hub stuff to work you must create your site collection using the Tema Site template (other templates might work, haven’t tested, the important thing is that the blank one doesn’t)

2. I did not realize that in order to set the content type up for subscription, you had to go into “Manage publishing for this content type” in the content type settings and actually click OK. It wasn’t obvious to me that going into the page and just clicking OK would actually kick off the publishing step.

Cheers!

Can’t think why this would be, sorry Matthew.

Have you ever had the case where no errors were posted to the log (I made sure to check the checkbox that enables logging) and that it still says after manually running the jobs “No content types have been subscribed”

Is there any tiny step that maybe you assumed everyone would have done that you didn’t mention?

Comment on Microsoft Partner Customer References/CSATs/PinPoint References – Jumping Through Hoops by Sasa Popovic

Most of our customers didn’t event notice the e-mails from CSAT in their “Junk E-mail” folders so we had to get embarrassed once again and to send them e-mails to ask if there is anything from Microsoft regarding our company in their “Junk E-mail” folders

I hope Microsoft will resolve this soon.

Btw, we later found a better solution – that is to manually send CSAT URLs to our customers. Our custom e-mails didn’t end-up in junk folders.

Comment on Content Query Web Part, Target Audiences, Additional Filters by Adam

Adam — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 10:26:07 +0000

Could it be that the target audience names operate under it’s GUID rather than it’s display name?

If you choose to display the target audience through the CQWP along with the title and description, it is displayed as a GUID. I’m guessing that this is the format which the filter would recognise.

I could be wrong however but defiantly worth a try…
