InfoPath Form Opens up in Client after site backup and restore

InfoPath Web Based Form Opens up in a Client after site collection backup and restore

Issue:

I encountered a small issue with InfoPath 2010 Form. I created a form and published to Form Library in SharePoint 2010. Its a browser based form and working fine with no issues at all.
We took a backup of site collection (where the form library exists) and restored to a new url.
Everything else was working fine except InfoPath form. This form does not open up in a browser infact opens up in an InfoPath client.

Resolution:

After bit of a research I was able to fix the problem.

• In the new site collection, go to Site Collection Features.
• Deactivate SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features
• Go to Site Features.
• Deactivate SharePoint Server Enterprise Site features
• Activate SharePoint Server Enterprise Site features
• Go to Site Collection Features
• Activate SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features

Probably sequence does not matter but this is what I did and it worked for me.

Enjoy!

SharePoint 2010 Anonoymous Access and List Web Part with Custom XSLT

A SharePoint 2010 Site with Anonymous Access has a List Web Part or any web part that has custom XSLT applied, Anonymous user will get access denied. It will work fine for logged on user.

Solution:

I have a SharePoint 2010 public site and it has Anonymous Access enabled.
On the Landing page I added a List Web Part based on the custom list I created to store announcement information or Ads information. So its a "Landing Page Ads" list.

I added a Landing Page Ads list web part on the page, assigned the custom xslt url in the Miscellaneous section under XSL Link i.e. /Anything/Anything.xsl

After assigning the custom xsl link, this web part is supposed to display list items in a rotating fashion or like a carousel. It works find for the logged on user but for anonymous user it won't work, displays access denied message for that web part. Rest of the content/web parts on the page will display with no problem.

The solution which works in my case: I edited the landing page in SharePoint Designer.

After "< /datafields >" add these tags "< xsl >< /xsl >" and copy the code from Anything.xsl and paste it between "< xsl >< /xsl >"

Save the file and check your landing page with Anonymous access, it should work fine and should not display Access Denied error.
