R – Page deleted from Wiki. Recycle bin has been disabled

sharepointsharepoint-2007wiki

We have a Sharepoint WSS wiki site from which one of the users accidentally deleted the page. The recycle bin is empty as it has been disabled. I understand the WIKI maintains the older versions of the pages as well. Is there a way to restore the older version of the page?

Best Answer

There is a chance the page might be in the site collection recycle bin, available from Site Settings at the site collection root. (There are two levels of recycle bin, one site and one site collection.)

Otherwise unfortunately the page is not retrievable, unless you have a backup. If you need help with restoring from backup, please ask over at http://serverfault.com.

Perhaps you are after the SPFileVersion class. From the versions property of the SPFile object.

R – SharePoint – Rendering a wiki page without navigation bars

Since the content of the SharePoint Wiki page is indexed in the content database by page name, simple re-hosting the content is probably not possible.

Therefore, a more feasible approach would be to load the wiki page into an IFRAME and then using Javascript code to modify the properties of the controls you want to 'hide' by either setting their visibility to hidden or their width/height to 0. Not as elegant or efficient, but it will do the trick.

Note: use the Developer Tools in IE8 (or something equivalent) to inspect the live HTML DOM of your page and experiment with modifying the attributes.
