Sign-out in SharePoint

The Sign-Out feature is disabled in SharePoint, and it's very important specially when you are using windows authentication to log-in the site, you can use the below link to clear the current user session:

YourSite/_layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true

The list is too large to save as a template. The size of a template cannot exceed 52428800 bytes.

By default, you can't save the SharePoint list when it's exceed 52428800 bytes, but you can increase the size by power shell as below:

stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname max-template-document-size -propertyvalue 100000000

WCF With Sharepoint

When using WCF and need to connect with the sharepoint you must do the following:

1- in web.config: Modify aspNetCompatibilityEnabled from false to true.

2- in main service you could add the below:

[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]

EX:

    [AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]

    public class TestService : ITestService

    {

    }

Extract WSP file from farm

$spFarm = Get-SPFarm
$spFile = $spFarm.Solutions.Item("test.wsp").SolutionFile
$spFile.SaveAs("c:\test.wsp")

allows a limit of 11 direct dependencies, and that limit has been exceeded.

Parser Error Message: The page '/_catalogs/masterpage/_____.master' allows a limit of 11 direct dependencies, and that limit has been exceeded.

 To solve this error:

Go to web.config of your site collection and modify the value DirectFileDependencies to a larger value.
