Ecuador Marathon shirt WC 14

Time for another Ecuador Marathon Sports classic.  This was a shirt used in the 14 WC.  It's a very bright shirt.  The sun shine so bright that let it be the force.

I must admit I like everything Marathon from Ecuador has done an highly recommend trying their shirts. https://www.marathon-sports.com/

The shirt has a johnny collar design.  Especially nice use of Ecuador colours.  Fabulous.

The crest is well planted to the shirt.  The Soleil detail radiating around it is great.

Great length sleeves for that athletic look.

The trim around the sides look great.

The material is fantastic.  Very light and good to wear in hot weather.  HidroTec.

Shirt from the back looks simple and crisp.  Really is a fantastic shirt.  Looks great to wear.  The only minor gripe I have is that I would have preferred it not to use the Johnny collar shaped.  It somewhat gets into a bit of no man's land between a v neck and a crew neck.  But that's just me.

JQuery replace text with HTML formating

Another day another request.  A scenario appeared where someone wanted to simply look for some pre-generated text and then make the text scroll like a marquee.

Well, JQuery again came to the rescue.

There is a .html method that inserts HRML into the area that you are looking for.  This is like the .text method which only touches and replaces the text.

$("td:contains('Upcoming Events'):last").html("<marquee><b>Upcoming Events</b></marquee> ");

Uruguay Puma shirt

Another rather smart gem from Puma.  There seemed to be ample sippy of these shirts in the market as I think they over produced because of the Suarez factor.  It is a very decent shirt.

The design is quite clean and certainly gives it a Uruguay feel.

Crest is well placed just a minor issue with its slightly warped placement.

Collar is actually real cool with a good shape sleeve and cuff.

The material is very good and nice light feel to it.  The shirt also fits quite well.  It is slightly curvy a bit like the Italy 14 shirt but it's a bit bigger in size.  Nice colour to go out in.

Sweden Adidas tracktop

A bright looking track top.  

Has a retro feel to it somewhat.  The collar gives it character.

The Swedish at the back just badass....

Some OOTB web parts missing in SharePoint 2010 site

Some strange behaviour with SharePoint 2010 again.  But seems to happen only to sites that were previously migrated from SharePoint 2007.

Some OOTB webparts missing on upgraded site eg Tag Clouds. On a brand new site they are there.

Sone some investigation.

Seems to come back if we run an stsadm command eg

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN>stsa
dm -o activateFeature -name "PortalLayouts" -url "http://oursite.com" -force

Why, does it have to be done?  No one seems to be able to answer yet...

SharePoint Upload Multiple Picture Manger Issue

There are numerous articles about how the Picture Manager's invokation from SharePoint Picture library suddenly goes missing.  And you never get to see the upload picture manager that allows you to compress and adjust a batch load of photos before upload to SharePoint Picture library.  It is actually a really useful tool of Office. They have excluded it from Office 2013 also and not really given any alternative.

This article below gave me an idea what to do

http://www.ofonesandzeros.com/2009/03/19/office-picture-manager-wont-open-after-clicking-upload-multiple-in-picture-library/

However, none of the suggestions worked for me.  It actually was not affected by IE running in Protected Mode.  Our machines were locked down and some very knowledgeable person of Windows Registry even showed us where the key is to turn Protected mode on for Intranet sites set in IE.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7236247/ie-protected-mode-for-local-system-account

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\1
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\1

DWORD 2500 (Set to 0 to turn switch off)


It turns out on my machine, I think the porblem was it was upgraded from Office 2007 to 2010 rather than a clean install of 2010.

The problem get exasperated when you have SharePoint 2010 and 2007 sites running.

Anyway, it was to do with the OISCTRL.OISClientLauncher Add On for IE.  Strange that even doing a ProcMon log, it does not show any errors.  

It clearly tries to invoke the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office\Microsoft Office 2010 Tools\Microsoft 

Office Picture Manager.lnk which it says it has succeeded in invoking.

In IE the OISCTRL.OISClientLauncher Add-On is clearly loaded in the Manage Add-On screen.  This adds to the confusion to why has it stopped working.

However, I found the upgrade to Office 2010 from Office 2007 must have corrupted something and it is not pointing to something correctly.

Anyway, I followed the article to unreg the dll

regsvr32 \u "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\oisctrl.dll" 
from the Run Dialog Window

This cleared the reference to the old Office 2007's oisctrl.dll

Then the 2010 version was manually registered 

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\oisctrl.dll"

Voila, the picture manager started again.  Need to close all instances of IE and reopen for the changes to kick in.

Switzerland Puma shirt

A neat no noise of a shirt.

Simple design with no nonsense.  Get to business like.

The iconic crest.

With decor from the Swiss FA?

Sleeves are a decent shape.  Just a little bit too big for my liking.

Neat shirt.
