Allow more than 50 pages to show up in left-hand Navigation

We are using Publishing in our MOSS environment for our Intranet. Some of our groups are creating manuals using the publishing pages and have found that the Navigation option of automatically show all pages has a limit of 50. After the 51st page has been created and published they will not show up. We wanted to increase this number.

As described here, hereand here, I edited the web.config file on the FRONT END web server. Once saved, the changes took effect immediately. Add the part in bold below:

 <siteMap ...>  
<providers>
<add name="GlobalNavSiteMapProvider" description="CMS provider for Global navigation" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.PortalSiteMapProvider, Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" NavigationType="Global" EncodeOutput="true" DynamicChildLimit="0"
/>
<add name="CombinedNavSiteMapProvider" description="CMS provider for Combined navigation" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.PortalSiteMapProvider, Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" NavigationType="Combined" EncodeOutput="true" DynamicChildLimit="0"
/>
<add name="CurrentNavSiteMapProvider" description="CMS provider for Current navigation" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.PortalSiteMapProvider, Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" NavigationType="Current" EncodeOutput="true" DynamicChildLimit="0"
/>
<add name="CurrentNavSiteMapProviderNoEncode" description="CMS provider for Current navigation, no encoding of output" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.PortalSiteMapProvider, Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" NavigationType="Current" EncodeOutput="false" DynamicChildLimit="0"

Changing Default Template Size

Article from THIS WEBSITE:

Saving a list as a template is an easy way of transferring data from one place to another in SharePoint. By default, however, the maximum size of list templates in WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 is 10MB.

If you try to save the list as a template that is larger than this you will get the following error:

The list is too large to save as a template. The size of a template cannot exceed 10485760 bytes.

To increase the maximum size, simply run the following stsadm command (from the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN directory) replacing the propertyvalue to the new maximum size (in bytes):

stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname max-template-document-size -propertyvalue 50000000

Points to note:

  • The propertyvalue parameter is in bytes, so the example above will increase the maximum size to approx 50MB.
  • There is a hard limit of 500MB so the value must be less than 524288000 or you will get an error when saving the list as a template.
  • The above increases the maximum size of both site and list templates.

Modify Maximum File Size for Uploads

Out of the box, SharePoint 2007 (WSS 3.0) has a default of 50mb per file maximum. In order to modify that, follow these procedures on the server that is running SharePoint:

  1. Click Start --> All Programs --> Administrative Tools --> SharePoint Central Administration
  2. When you are in the Central Administration page, click on Application Management
  3. Under the header SharePoint Web Application Management, click on Web Application General Settings
  4. In there is the Maximum Upload Size
