Hi
I want to use the Site Feed on sites other than MySites. It is however not possible to post pictures, when i try i get an access denied error.
After a bit og digging on google, i found this post http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/help/sharepoint-server-2013-known-issues-HA102919021.aspx stating:
Can't post picture on site feed when site feed is on a separate server from My Site When you are on a site feed and try to open the Upload Picture dialog box, SharePoint attempts to load the selectpicture2.aspx page from MySiteHost. If the domain that the site feed is on is different than the domain of the MySiteHost, then the Upload Picture dialog box will not load. This means that in SharePoint Online Preview, you cannot post a picture on the site feed. And in SharePoint Server 2013 Preview and SharePoint Foundation 2013 Preview, when the site feeds are located on a separate server (or domain with a different URL), you also cannot post a picture on the site feed. Workaround To work around this issue: In SharePoint Online Preview, click Follow to follow the site. Then, go to My Site, select Share With and select the site, and post a picture from the My Site to the site feed. In SharePoint Server 2013 Preview and SharePoint Foundation 2013 Preview, admins can configure Team Sites on the same server, domain, or URL as My Sites, or they can follow the same steps as with SharePoint Online Preview.
Neither of these "workarounds" are feasible. I'm sure there must be some other way? This seems completely stupid to me, why not just have the images in a list on the site where the web part is actiavted? Just as the MicroFeed list is provisioned for the actual comments.
Any help is appreciated!
