A very interesting symptom occurred to me the past time. In a document library I was trying to edit document properties but I received an error that I don’t have rights. Strange. Even if I tried to edit with a site collection administrator account, I got the same error.
After searching for a while, I’ve found the solution. Looks like a bug that is fixed with February update, but you have to fix the existing bugs manually.
You can find the solution on Social TechNet. Using Visual Studio create a console application and copy-paste the code published there. I’ve made slight modification to the code, because I needed to have this fix in a subsite:
Old code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using System.Xml;
namespace CA_TestingHotfix
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
FixField(args);
}
static void FixField(string[] args)
{
string RenderXMLPattenAttribute = "RenderXMLUsingPattern";
//Console.WriteLine("Please enter the URL of the site: (Press enter after typing):");
string weburl = args[0];
//Console.WriteLine("Please enter the Document Library Name: (Press enter after typing):");
string listName = args[1];
SPSite site = new SPSite(weburl);
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
SPList list = web.Lists[listName];
…
New code (changes marked with bold)
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using System.Xml;
namespace CA_TestingHotfix
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
FixField(args);
}
static void FixField(string[] args)
{
string RenderXMLPattenAttribute = "RenderXMLUsingPattern";
//Console.WriteLine("Please enter the URL of the site: (Press enter after typing):");
string weburl = args[0];
string subwebUrl = args[1];
//Console.WriteLine("Please enter the Document Library Name: (Press enter after typing):");
string listName = args[2];
SPSite site = new SPSite(weburl);
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb(subwebUrl);
SPList list = web.Lists[listName];
After you have the code ready, compile the program, put it on the server and run the command
[programName].exe [http://site_coll_url] [subweburl] [document_library_name]
If you need to run it for example on the top level web see the example below
fixDocLib.exe –url http://testSite:8080 / “Shared Documents”
