Manual deployment of UC Logic PLC Web Parts

There are a number of ways to implement SharePoint Web Parts. UC Logic provide the PLC Web Parts with deployment applications but firms may have a more complex environment than these applications support. If the installation application does not fully complete the job you will need to follow the folling guide which is the same process for each web part.
In order for users to have access to the web parts, administrators need to complete 4 processes: Add to site, deploy to Site, activate for site and add to page.

Add to Site

This requires the use of the command prompt. In the command window navigate to the web part installation folder supplied and type:
%SPLocation%\BIN stsadm.exe -o addsolution -filename PLCNews.wsp [OR PLCDocuments or PLCTaxonomy.wsp]

Deploy to Site

Open the SharePoint Central Administration web page and go to: central administration> Operations>Global Configuration>Solution Management. The solution will appear on the list. Click the solution and follow the instructions.
Activate: On Site Root go to Site Actions>Site Settings>Galleries>Web Parts to open the Web Part Gallery:


Click New and select the deployed web part and click Populate Gallery,

In the Web Part configuration page, enter an appropriate description and choose or manually enter the Group and Quick Add Group category you wish the web part to appear under:

Add to Page

The Web Part is now deployed. To add a web part to a web part page, use the Site Actions drop down to put the page in Shared Edit Mode and click Add a Web Part anywhere on the page. Select the required web part and configure as described in the administration guide.
