Inconvenient backup and restore of Sites with Catalog Connections to different URLs
Using Catalog Connections in SharePoint 2013 offers great flexibility with regard to content reuse within as well as across Farms. Unfortunately, as Catalog Connections are based on URLs, they break if you restore your Site Collections to different URLs. So is rebuilding Catalog Connections the only option or is there a better way to work with Catalog Connections and backup and restore of Site Collections to different URLs?
Inconvenient Images By Search in SharePoint 2013
Content By Search is the new publishing model in SharePoint 2013. And although crawling and retrieving content is straight-forward, what about images?
Inconvenient Catalog Item Reuse Web Part and displaying content from Managed Properties
Catalog Item Reuse Web Part is the control that you have to use to display data from Managed Properties on your pages in search-driven publishing scenarios. And while everything might seem okay at first, it’s just the matter of time until you see your content rendered as plain-text.
Easier working with size-based Image Renditions in SharePoint 2013
By default when applying an Image Rendition to an image, SharePoint references the particular rendition by its ID. And although it works, it introduces a number of challenges. Although you could manually change the ID-based reference to size-based manually there is a more convenient way to get this done.
Using Image Renditions with images from other Site Collections
One of the new capabilities of SharePoint 2013 are Image Renditions. Unfortunately by default the UI only allows you to apply renditions to images from the current Site Collection. And although you could apply renditions to images from other Site Collections manually there is an easier way to do it.
