Create a Feature: Add Custom Master Pages to your Site Collections

By
One way master pages can be stored and used in MOSS 2007 sites is through creation in SharePoint Designer and storage in the Master Page Gallery. This method will create a master page in the content database. But what if you need to use one or two master page across multiple site collections? For ease of updates and maintenance, we don't necessarily want to store a copy of the master page in each site collection. Instead we can create and store master pages on the file system as a SharePoint Feature and make it available for new and existing site collections.

Publishing SharePoint List InfoPath Form to a new location

By
Needed to move it from Dev to Production. File > Publish > Export Source Files. Close InfoPath Go to folder where Source Files are saved, open Manifest.xsf.  Find all instances of the URL and replace them with the new URL - there should be five. If you have secondary data connections, update those also. I use Notepad++ and “replace all” so it just takes a second.  Save the manifest.xsf file and close. Now right click on the manifest.xsf and select Design to open it back up in InfoPath.  Click on File >Publish and verify the URL is correct in the “Publish form to a SharePoint List” section”.
