SharePoint Game Webpart

http://spgameoflifewebpart.codeplex.com/


Goal: The Game of Life web part was created for a talk I presented at SharePoint Saturday New York in 2009. At the time, SharePoint 2010 was still in Beta and most people hadn't see the Enterprise Metadata Management (taxonomy) features. I used the Game of Life web part as an introduction to the new taxonomy API. I offered to provide the code, so here it is.


Requirements
-----------------------
- SharePoint Server 2010 with Enterprise Features
- Visual Studio 2010 (inc. SharePoint tools)

Setup
-----------------------
1. Add your account as a Term Store Administrator. This right is independent to Site Collection Administrator or Farm Administrator status.

To open the Term Store Management Tool go to Site Actions > Site Settings > Site Administartion > Term Store Management.
You can also  open the same interface from Central Administration > Manage Service Applications > Managed Metadata Service.

2. Run the soluiton file for the web part and choose Debug.

"To interact with SharePoint projects in Visual Studio, your system user account must have administrator privileges." -- MS

3. Once you have the project running in debug mode, add the Game of Life web part to a page and set the values for the Managed Metadata Service and TermStore Group name in the web part properties.

4. Choose a preset pattern or set your own by clicking on cells in the grid.

5. Set the number of generations and then run it.

HOW TO CREATE A SHAREPOINT EMPLOYEE DIRECTORY?

Option 1: Use the Contact List Web Part available in SharePoint If you are a small organization, you can simply use an out of the box Web Part called Contacts to manage contact information. The beauty of this approach is that you can customize your Contacts Web Part with any columns/metadata that you wish. That means you can add all sorts of phone numbers, notes, other information and group/organize it in any way you wish on your SharePoint site or page The second option when it comes to  SharePoint Employee Directory  is to create custom sites/pages using  Content Search Web  part. This option works well when you have a larger organization and want to create an Employee Directory that allows you to filter the different properties using left-hand-side metadata criteria. You do need to be an advanced SharePoint User to create this sort of Directory. If you are comfortable with some customization and want to give it a try, here are couple of blog posts ...

Delete unused workflow status columns in SharePoint list views using PowerShell

Delete unused workflow status columns in SharePoint list views using PowerShell SharePoint 2010 seems to be better than 2007 for removing workflow status columns from list views after a workflow has been removed or updated, but it does still leave them behind every now and again. I have been unable to trace exactly why this happens, but rather than waste time looking, I decided to write a quick PowerShell script to remove these columns as they cannot be deleted from the UI. This script works as a function – meaning that there are two parts to running it in the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell. First, you have to run the script shown below: function Delete-WorkflowColumn ($webURL, $listName, $columnName) {     #Setup variables from the user input     $web = Get-SPWeb $webURL     $list = $web.Lists[$listName]     $column = $list.Fields[$columnName]         #Make sure the column is not hid...
