A solution to add google tag manager has being requested a few times to me since I released the solutions to add Google Analytics to SharePoint.
In this article you will find a pre-built solution to add Google tag manager to modern SharePoint Online using an Application Customizer.
When creating groups or teams using Microsoft Graph and PowerShell the SharePoint site collection URL can be randomly generated if a site collection with the name of the group already exists.
If you need to get the URL of the site collection right after the creation of the group, you can use Microsoft Graph to retrieve it.
This can be extremely helpfully for scenarios where you have the need to deploy artifacts to the site automatically, like applying a PnP Template.
Right after the group creation use do the request bellow using the group ID.
On my last article I’ve provided a solution to deploy Application Insights to classic SharePoint without modifying the master page and on todays article I’m providing the same solution but for modern SharePoint using an Application Customizer and Tenant Wide Deployment.
Google analytics articles are among the most popular articles in this blog and inclusive they got featured on SharePoint Dev Weekly episodes.
On episode #27 Vesa and Waldek discussed the advantages and disadvantages of having internal and potentially confidential data sent from SharePoint to Google servers.
Google Analytics is not the only monitoring tool you can add to SharePoint, Microsoft has Application Insights that provides a similar functionality with the advantage of keeping your data in the same ecosystem.
Google Analytics articles are very popular in this blog and there are a few already available here, here and here but there is still room for one more, as the SharePoint Framework evolves so does this solution.
Today’s article introduces an easy way to deploy Google Analytics globally to all modern sites in your tenant taking advantage of the Tenant Wide Deployment.
Recently I’ve got a few requests to transform classic root team sites with publishing enabled into modern SharePoint sites.
The technic described in this article allows you to keep all your existent content, and at the same time allows you to take advantage of the out of the box responsive layouts and modern web parts.
Modern SharePoint sites rendered on SharePoint Mobile App or Microsoft Teams are different than when displayed in the browser.
Native components are removed from the page or replaced by native APP options. If you are building extensions or web parts for the modern SharePoint you may want to test them in both environments to make sure they are not overlapping with native apps features.
While the framework does not provide context variables to let developers know where the component is running, it needs to be validated through the user agent.
What is probably the most important release of SharePoint Framework since its original version, brings a list of long-awaited features, already showcased during Microsoft Ignite. In this article, I will highlight three:
This version is no longer exclusive to SharePoint and is available also to extend Microsoft Teams. Version 1.7 might be the start of the Office 365 framework, as it starts being used on other products. It will definitely allow for a smoother, more coherent experience across the workplace and its different applications.
