View Layout Replicator

I posted the tool, the source code and the documentation on codeplex. Use the link below to access to these files:

With Version for 4.0 I had a strange error. Take a look at http://carstengroth.wordpress.com/2011/03/04/microsoft-dynamics-crm-4-0-export-to-pivot-missing-attributes/

You can translate it in french as well. Hope this error is gone with the new Version for 2011

Hi,
I read your post that was very interesting.
The difficulty, for me and my tool, is that the tool does not manipulate columnset xml node at all...
So, as there is no code that deals with this node, I have nothing to correct from my point of view...
If you think that I should add some correction, you can go to codeplex and look at the class Helpers/ViewHelper.cs, there is a method "PropagateLayout" that do all the work.

---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
Error while retrieving organizations : Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'https://dev.vino.crm5.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Discovery.svc?wsdl'.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------


Actually my Organization url is
https://vino.crm5.dynamics.com/. Dont know why dev. is appended to it.

Also I am not able to browse this URL from IE
'https://dev.vino.crm5.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Discovery.svc?wsdl'

I am able to discover 'https://vino.crm5.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Discovery.svc?wsdl'

Thanks & Regards

Hi Vinoth,

You didn't read the documentation, did you? :)

When specifying your server name, juste use crm5.dynamics.com, then click on "Get Orgs." button.

You will be able to select the organization and connect to it.

Hello CRM community!
Two months ago, Philippe Brissaud from Microsoft Canada asked me to help him migrate the well known CrmDiagTool 4 to Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011. I guess you know what I answered him: of course I help!

The features are the following:
Enable/Disable tracing Zip content of Trace directory Open Trace directory Generate diagnostic file in text or html format with components selection Enable/Disable DevErrorsSome screenshots:

Dynamics Portals : Add a local login control on the home page

Image
Dynamics portals are a great solution to create portals and expose Dynamics 365 data to people not using our beloved XRM application. One of our customers asked us to have a login control directly on the home page instead of having to click on “Sign In” link, then show the login page, then log… I think you got it. The problem is the login page is a hidden page that cannot be customized. So, I found a (dirty) way to handle this request. First, create your own login controlIn my home page template, I added two input controls and two buttons (Sign In and Lost password), like below, nothing fancy.



The code is the following
<h3>Identifiez vous</h3><divstyle="display:none;"id="loginMessage"class="alert alert-danger"></div><div><divclass="form-group"><labelfor="txtLogin">Nom d'utilisateur</label><inputtype="text"class="form-control"id="txtLogin"placeholder="t…

New tool: SiteMap Editor for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011

Image
With the last version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you can organize your customizations through solutions and this is really a nice feature. But some specific actions are taking really more time than with previous versions…This is exactly the problem when you want to edit the SiteMap. You have to add the SiteMap to a solution (maybe create one before), export the solution, extract the solution, update the Xml, zip the files, import the solution (should I need to continue with import wizard steps…? )So, today, I release my new tool, the SiteMap Editor. It works like the IsvConfigManager for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 to edit the SiteMap.FeaturesConnections to OnPremise, Online and Claim based deployments TreeView display of SiteMap Add SiteMap component with mouse usage Add default SiteMap component if you removed one Cut/Copy/Paste of SiteMap component Display Xml of SiteMap component Add SiteMap component from Xml Reset SiteMap to default system one Import back the SiteMap to C…
