I tested and reproduced your issue in my local machine. Since the Web Part Pages would override the content in PlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea place holder, the site logo would not change automatically. So would you please try remove or comment the following control TitleBarWebPart: See the similar scenario and solution: http://emanonsolutions.blogspot.com/2010/02/left-navigation-webpart-pages.html Hope this can help.

SharePoint Restore Error: Your backup is from a different version of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation and cannot be restored to a server running the current version. The backup file should be restored to a server with version '14.0.0.5050' or later. I had needed to move my dev environment from one Virtual machine to another. So I took backup from source server and tried to restore the backup in new server. However, I have got the error “Your backup is from a different version of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation and cannot be restored to a server running the current version. The backup file should be restored to a server with version '14.0.0.5050' or later.” I was totally confused as I had the same version of SharePoint in both server. Then I double checked the version and it was 14.0.4762.1000 for both servers. Getting confused I googled and found that solution. This is a bug which is fixed by SharePoint 2010 August cumulative update. The updates are available in the f...

Scenario: You might want to impersonate a specific WSS user identity before creating a new object so that WSS user is recognized as the owner of the new object. In order to impersonate a WSS user identity, you must first create an SPUserToken object. You can do this by accessing the UserToken property of an SPUser object. Once you have the SPUserToken object, you can use it to create a new SPSite object using an overloaded version of the SPSite class constructor. Solution: This is a very good alternate to RunWithElevatedPrivileges. Code: 1. SPWeb siteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site; 2. SPWeb site = SPContext.Current.Web; 3. 4. // get SPUser object and acquire token 5. SPUser targetUser = site.SiteUsers[@"LITWAREINC\BrianC"]; 6. SPUserToken token = targetUser.UserToken; 7. 8. // create new SPSite and SPWeb object to impersonate user 9. using (SPSite impersonatedSiteCollection = 10. new SPSite(siteCollection.ID, token)) { 11. using ...

For lists and libraries with large numbers of items, users can access the items with a mix of views and search. The following are some suggestions for views that work well with an indexed column: Recently changed: To create a view of only the items that have changed in the past week, you can index the Modified column and then apply the filter Modified (Indexed) is greater than [Today]-7. New items: To create a view of only those items that were added in the past week, you can index the Created column and then apply the filter Created is greater than [Today]-7. My items: To create a view of only those items that you added, you can index the Created By column and then apply the filter Created By is equal to [Me]. Due today: For lists or libraries with a Due Date column, you can index that column and then apply the filter Due Date is equal to [Today]. Discussion board updates: To create a view of only the discussions that were updated in the past month, you can index the Last Up...

I am truly excited with the potential and possibilities of Office Web Apps 2010 (comes along with Office 2010 Volume License). Users with just a browser can edit the document and save it right back on their SharePoint Server. Document formatting everything is preserved just as it is. Very useful for Secure and "reduced" environments.... Deploying Office Web Apps 2010 should be right after your SharePoint 2010 Installation and there are certain steps to be followed, which are explained quite well in technet - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431687.aspx - Just follow them carefully and you will be pretty fine. After deploying when creating Word Service, PowerPoint Service applications, you will find your Excel Service Application already existing if you have installed SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition. Not just this, if you are planning FAST 2010, FAST gives document previews right in the search results pane if you have Office Web Apps 2010 deployed :)
