SharePoint 2010: How to add back QuickLaunch to the web part page.

Actually this is not adding but just removing hiding functionality:

1. Remove this code/css from the page

<SharePoint:UIVersionedContent ID="WebPartPageHideQLStyles" UIVersion="4" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<style type="text/css">
body #s4-leftpanel {
display:none;
}
.s4-ca {
margin-left:0px;
}
</style>
</ContentTemplate>
</SharePoint:UIVersionedContent>


2. Remove this place holder from the page

<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderLeftNavBar" runat="server"></asp:Content>


Restart SPTimerV4 service remotely in the SharePoint farm

There is a PowerShell script which restarts SPTimerV4 service remotely on every application server within a farm. This is useful when deployment of a SPTimerJob has been done.

It should be run on one of the application servers under SharePoint 2010 Management Shell, and you have to have enough permissions of course.

foreach ($server in (get-spserver | Where {$_.Role -eq "Application"}) )
{
write-host $server.Name
$service = Get-Service -computer $server.Name -name SPTimerV4
if ($service.Status -ne "Stopped")
{
$service.Stop()
Do
{
start-sleep -s 5 | out-null
write-host '.' -noNewLine
$service = Get-Service -computer $server.Name -name SPTimerV4
}
While ($service.Status -ne "Stopped")
write-host $service.Status
}
else
{
write-host "Stopped already"
}
if ($service.Status -ne "Running")
{
$service.Start()
Do
{
start-sleep -s 5 | out-null
write-host '.' -noNewLine
$service = Get-Service -computer $server.Name -name SPTimerV4
}
While ($service.Status -ne "Running")
write-host $service.Status
}
}

It shows the state of the service for each server. So, you can go and restart it manually if something was going wrong.

Hide SharePoint 2010 Ribbon Control from public users

There are some posts about how to hide SharePoint 2010 Ribbon from users with least permissions. One example is here. But it trims the ribbon from the page, which could cause some issues. Most known is a scroll bar disappearing.
BTW: there is a perfect article about SharePoint 2010 Ribbon Control from its designer.

There is the way how to real hide it depending of current user permissions (owner permission in this example). Just add this to the head section on master page.

<style type="text/css">
div#s4-ribbonrow {
display:none;
}
</style>

<Sharepoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl runat="server"
Permissions="AddAndCustomizePages">
<style type="text/css">
div#s4-ribbonrow {
display:block;
}
</style>
</Sharepoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>
