To use PowerShell (Including PnP Connecting to Office 365) behind a proxy — use this line of code in your script:
[System.Net.WebRequest]::DefaultWebProxy.Credentials = [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultCredentials
I plucked it off the interwebs, but have since lost the URL to give proper credit.
while trying to reconfigure my system, i came across this trick to add a new folder to onedrive sync.
mklink /J “C:\Users\<USERNAME>\OneDrive\<Folder>” “C:\<Folder>”
SharePoint Online gives this error when using CSOM to provision a publishing site:
The web template BLANKINTERNET#0 is not available for sites on this tenant.
The solution is to use the template BLANKINTERNETCONTAINER#0 as BLANKINTERNET#0 is only for subsites.
Who knew?

This guy gives a great overview of PowerShell multi-threading. It is step by step and chunked into nice sized pieces. Thanks!

This guy had a great solution for getting and displaying required fields on a SharePoint custom page. Thanks!
showRequiredFields = function() {
var context = new SP.ClientContext();
var list = context.get_web().get_lists().getById(_spPageContextInfo.pageListId);
var item = list.getItemById(_spPageContextInfo.pageItemId);
fieldCollection = item.get_contentType().get_fields();
context.load(fieldCollection);
context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, success), Function.createDelegate(this, failed));
function success() {
var occurences = 0;
var fe = fieldCollection.getEnumerator();
while (fe.moveNext()) {
var field = fe.get_current();
var xmlSchemaString = field.get_schemaXml();
var fieldXml = $.parseXML(xmlSchemaString);
var fieldElement = fieldXml.getElementsByTagName('Field')[0];
var required = fieldElement.getAttribute('Required');
if (required != null && fieldElement.getAttribute('Required').toLowerCase() === 'true') {
var displayName = fieldElement.getAttribute('DisplayName');
$("[title='" + displayName + "']").closest('tr').children('td.ms-formlabel').append(' *');
}
}
if (occurences > 0) {
$('#DeltaPlaceHolderMain').prepend('* = required'); } } function failed(sender, args) { console && console.log('failed. Message:' + args.get_message()); } }

Using the awesome site, http://www.layoutit.com, I created some examples for common bootstrap items (buttons, menus, dropdown, callout)

Good stuff…quite useful (to me anyways 🙂
Found this useful tidbit for converting IEnumerable<T> to a CSV…
From the article:
” I started writing it, but then decided to Google with Bing, and found a decent direction to start with at Mike Hadlow’s blog. He didn’t include all the code in the post, but it saved me some typing, so thanks Mike!
namespace FooFoo
{
public static class LinqToCSV
{
public static string ToCsv<T>(this IEnumerable<T> items)
where T : class
{
var csvBuilder = new StringBuilder();
var properties = typeof(T).GetProperties();
foreach (T item in items)
{
string line = string.Join(“,”,properties.Select(p => p.GetValue(item, null).ToCsvValue()).ToArray());
csvBuilder.AppendLine(line);
}
return csvBuilder.ToString();
}
private static string ToCsvValue<T>(this T item)
{
if(item == null) return “\”\””;
if (item is string)
{
return string.Format(“\”{0}\””, item.ToString().Replace(“\””, “\\\””));
}
double dummy;
if (double.TryParse(item.ToString(), out dummy))
{
return string.Format(“{0}”, item);
}
return string.Format(“\”{0}\””, item);
}
}
}

Recently, VS2013 started omitting the file names in the search results when I did a “Find in Files”
The output was similar to:
Find all “Phone”, Subfolders, Find Results 1, Entire Solution, “*.*”
… where are my file names?? …
Matching lines: 637 Matching files: 84 Total files searched: 821
The following post fixed it:

The Default value in this registry entry was not there (it was just an empty string).
