SharePointConsole

Development, SharePoint

I wrote a Console application, which will allow you do some common tasks for your SharePoint environment. stsadm lacks some functionality like recyling all list items from a list…

Just copy the exe to your SharePoint Server, and execute it with an account which has the appropriate rights on your farm.

Usage:
SharePointConsole http://siteurl[/weburl] Command [Parameter1 Parameter2]

The SharePointConsole has the following parameters:

  • EnumContentTypes
  • CreateContentType
  • RenameContentType
  • DeleteContentType
  • DeleteAllListItems
  • ShowInNewForm
  • ShowInEditForm
  • ShowInDisplayForm
  • DeleteAllVersions
  • RecycleAllVersions
  • SetTitleWithFilename
  • SetSearchCenterUrl
  • SystemUpdate
  • FeatureManager
  • EmptyRecycleBin

EnumContentType:
Returns all content types from the specified sitecollection.

CreateContentType newName [Parent ContentType]:
Creates a new content type and inherrits from an exiting one, if a parent content type is specified.

RenameContentType contentType newName:
Renames a content type

DeleteContentType Name:
