SharePoint 2013 - Newsfeed and Share

New Team Site on my new SharePoint 2013 installation is just amazing.

One of the good new features I like is Newsfeed:

So I wanted to add a picture and some message:

Chosen the picture file and posted:

My post appeared on the newsfeed:

I looked into the Site Contents to see where those posts are stored and found the list called MicroFeed:

The content of this list are items with the metadata values related to the posts:

This is one item:

As far as I see the image is stored as an attachment to the list:

Then I decided to share the site with Consulting Services department people.
Clicked the Share button at the top right corner of the page and got a dialog box.
When I started typing I have got the people list dynamically shown and selected the person I need:

Selected the level of permissions:

and hit shared:

Then I logged in as a Consultant:

Setting up External Content Type for SQL Server database using SQL Server authentication - SharePoint 2010 Foundation

This post is a follow up on the issues that I have got setting up External Content Type (ECT) on SharePoint 2010 Foundation that was going to connect to remote SQL Server database for information.

InfoPath 2013 Preview - URL not valid error when publishing

In InfoPath 2010 there is a problem when you try to publish a Form to a SharePoint site that doesn't have root site collection. You will get an error message "The following url is not valid". It's described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981854 The solution is to create root site collection for the Web application. Same problem is with InfoPath 2013: In my situation I didn't create the root site collection initially, but used "/sites" managed path instead for all site collections. To solve the problem with InfoPath I had to create it. Used a new site template "Project Site". Will get a chance to research that too. :)
