Term store management Link Missing from Site settings in SharePoint 2013

-

In SharePoint 2010 the termstore management link is available for site owners by default. This link is missing in SharePoint 2013 for site owners. Being a site owner, they should be able to navigate to the link in site settings.

The first thing to check is if you have the permissions (Owners) on the site. Validated the same and the link is still missing.



After some testing I found out, that the permission causing that issue was “Apply Themes and Borders” at web app level. In central administration navigate to manage web applications, select the application where you have the site collection created. In the Ribbon select User Permissions and check for "Apply Themes and Borders". Once this permission is checked navigate to site collection>> site settings. you will now see the link.

  I cannot see any relationship to the Term Store Management functionality, but as soon as I granted that permission to the users, they would see that link. Strange! I would be glad if someone has an explanation for that. Microsoft describes that permission as “Apply a theme or borders to the whole website.”

 In case this permission needs to be unchecked then only workaround is to navigate the URL “/_layouts/15/termstoremanager.aspx” to the users. As this is the case for us too.

Happy SharePointing...

I have created a react spfx project and imported all the sp,web from @pnp/sp library. i mport { sp , Web , List } from '@pnp/sp' ; First step is to declare 3 collections for above 3 requirements so that you can use them in getPropertyPageConfiguration() method. private listDropDownOptions : IPropertyPaneDropdownOption []; private viewDropDownOptions : IPropertyPaneDropdownOption []; private fieldsListCollection = [];   Use these collections in getPropertyPageConfiguration() method. protected getPropertyPaneConfiguration (): IPropertyPaneConfigura

SharePoint framework (commonly known as spfx ) webparts can be used to deploy the artifacts like js/css/image files etc. There are multiple options to host your artifacts.  First option is to host to CDN (like azure) Other option is to include that within the package and then deploy to appcatalog along with sppkg file. Host to CDN In order to host the webparts to Azure or any CDN,  open copy-assets.json file in config folder of your spfx webpart and update the CDN path. This CDN path can be any SharePoint library or Azure CDN. Basically any path which is accessible using http protocol. If you are publishing to Azure CDN please make sure to add the azure credentials in deploy-azure-storage.json file. Deploy to AppCatalog In case you want to deploy the artifacts to app catalog, package-solution.json file under config folder and make sure that includeClientSideAssets is set to true .

Wrapping Global Navigation in SharePoint 2013 In SharePoint 2013 if number of links in the global navigation increases, the links are not wrapped by default. The links were aligned in single line. Sometimes the links are more in number that people started complaining about search bar is not available even though the search bar is available in the right corner of the page. Users never realized the horizontal bar at the bottom of the page. If we scroll to the right corner of the page we can see the search bar. Talking about user experience this looks very weird.  In order to fix this issue some of the css classes needs to be updated which will help in wrapping the global navigation in SharePoint 2013. Below are the some of the css classes:- .ms-core-pageTitle{     font-size:2em; } .ms-core-listMenu-horizontalBox ul, .ms-core-listMenu-horizontalBox li, .ms-core-listMenu-horizontalBox  .ms-core-listMenu-item, .ms-core-listMenu-horizontalBox > ul > li > table {
