Build SharePoint Feature to Deploy File System Changes
With SharePoint solution packages, its possible to port the file system changes and providing Feature based solutions! Lets build a SharePoint 2007 feature to deploy file system changes (12 hive files) using WSP Builder. Here are the steps:
1. Create a new WSP project ( you need to have WSP Builder installed. If not, get it from CodePlex)
2. Add a New Item
3. Add a New Feature with Receiver code.
2. Add the code in Feature Receiver, Say for e.g. I'm Replacing a image in 12 hive, I've written the following code.
1. Create a new WSP project ( you need to have WSP Builder installed. If not, get it from CodePlex)
2. Add a New Item
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using System.IO;
namespace FileSystemChangesFeature
{
class FileSystemChangesFeature : SPFeatureReceiver
{
public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
{
//Backup the Original Image NORESULT.gif and Replace with the New image from Features Directory
if (File.Exists("C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\web server extensions\\12\\TEMPLATE\\LAYOUTS\\1033\\IMAGES\\NORESULT.GIF"))
{
File.Move("C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\web server extensions\\12\\TEMPLATE\\LAYOUTS\\1033\\IMAGES\\NORESULT.GIF","C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\web server extensions\\12\\TEMPLATE\\LAYOUTS\\1033\\IMAGES\\NORESULT.GIF.BAK");
File.Copy("C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\web server extensions\\12\\TEMPLATE\\FEATURES\\FileSystemChangesFeature\\NORESULT.GIF", "C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\web server extensions\\12\\TEMPLATE\\LAYOUTS\\1033\\IMAGES\\NORESULT.GIF");
}
}
public override void FeatureDeactivating(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
{
if (File.Exists("C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\web server extensions\\12\\TEMPLATE\\LAYOUTS\\1033\\IMAGES\\NORESULT.GIF"))
{
File.Delete("C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\web server extensions\\12\\TEMPLATE\\LAYOUTS\\1033\\IMAGES\\NORESULT.GIF");
File.Copy("C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\web server extensions\\12\\TEMPLATE\\LAYOUTS\\1033\\IMAGES\\NORESULT.GIF.BAK", "C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\web server extensions\\12\\TEMPLATE\\LAYOUTS\\1033\\IMAGES\\NORESULT.GIF");
}
}
public override void FeatureInstalled(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
{
//throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
}
public override void FeatureUninstalling(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
{
// throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
}
}
}
what is the aim of this tips ?
