Can’t access a web part page because of a broken web part? Yeah, that’s a classic issue – and it’s nicely ported into Modern world, too! In these cases, web part page maintenance mode comes in handy!
There’s a query parameter available for accessing it. For whatever reasons, it’s different for Classic and Modern mode, though. Why make things easy if you can make them dificult, right? 🙂 Continue reading
Ah, everyone’s favorite, classic topic! Debugging SharePoint On-Premises configuration issues is the best thing since sliced bread, right? This post is about allowing/enabling Anonymous Access to a site collection – a simple configuration, that “simply works” like once every ten times you try it.
A lot of different ways to hit your head on this one. In any case, your on-premises SharePoint doesn’t allow anonymous access to a site where you are trying to allow it. Most typically, they’ll just encounter 401 error when accessing the site, or they might be missing some of the content or styles, resulting in partially broken site.
Usually incorrect configuration or non-published resources. Multiple reasons can cause this, though, I’ll describe some of them below with the solutions.
A lot of things to check – let’s go through all of the most typical issues here! Continue reading
I won a hackathon! They had fun topics, it was a cool challenge, a well organized event, and had cool prizes. Since this is the first hackathon I ever took part in, I thought I’d post something about my experience and the solution(s) I figured out. Continue reading
Classic SharePoint actually has a very handy piece of functionality, using which you can hide most of the SharePoint chrome (like header and navigation), and hence make the page a lot more sleek. This is especially useful for showing the contents in a dialog window – which SharePoint also supports natively through JavaScript! This post describes how.
Pretty easy – it’s handled via a url parameter! Continue reading
If you’re like me, you’re not using Adobe Reader, but rather switched to Foxit Reader years ago, and never looked back. Foxit has a great PDF printer, it’s a great reader, but not perfect. The default save location is “Foxit Drive”, and it pops up any time you try to save your document, and at least for me interrupts my workflow. This post describes how to get rid of it, and make Foxit Reader even better!
Okay, so Foxit Reader is pretty great, but they’ve got their difficulties, too. Being freeware, they kind of need to get revenue from somewhere outside the reader itself – and nowadays, that would be their Premium software, but especially their Online offering, part of which the cloud storage for PDFs is.

I stumbled upon a customer, that complained about some pages in their intranet throwing weird errors with authentication. Those pages seemed to have one thing in common – there was a Yammer embed (or a SharePoint script webpart with Yammer embed script in it, to be precise) there. The error code they got was “AADSTS90013: Invalid input received from the user”.
Below, you can see an example of the error screen.
AADSTS90013: Invalid input received from the user.
Okay – this is going to be extremely specific, and probably won’t solve the issue for all of you out there! But this is what worked for this customer: Continue reading
