This Publishing feature Activation Dependency within the elements.xml ensures that your custom feature gets activated only when Publishing feature is enabled on your respective site collection. Copy and paste the code below in your custom feature project elements.xml file -
<ActivationDependencies>
<ActivationDependency FeatureTitle="Publishing Infrastructure" FeatureDescription="Publishing Infrastructure need to be activated prior to deploying the Custom PageLayouts, Site Content Types and Site Columns feature." FeatureId="f6924d36-2fa8-4f0b-b16d-06b7250180fa" />
</ActivationDependencies>
If the scope of your feature is Web, then you can even ensure whether Publishing site feature has been activated on your subsite as well:
<ActivationDependency FeatureTitle="SharePoint Server Publishing" FeatureDescription="Option to create Custom Page Layouts will not be visible, unless you activate SharePoint Server Publishing feature at the web level." FeatureId="94c94ca6-b32f-4da9-a9e3-1f3d343d7ecb" />

Power Shell .wsp deployment scripts for SharePoint 2010
Copy the PowerShell scriptlet below and paste it in a notepad, modify your Site Collection URL in the code marked in yellow below and save it with a .ps1 extension.
Also have a look at Powershell script to deploy multiple solutions (.wsp) to your site collection. See the full post here: http://www.sharepointfix.com/2011/07/powershell-script-to-deploy-multiple.html

Cross Site collection dropdown Look Up using JQuery
Often times you might need to do a sub-site or a cross site collection look up and populate it as a dropdown control in your SharePoint application. This is possible using JQuery. Here is the code for the same:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/sites/SPFix/JQueryDemo/JQueryDocumentLibrary/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var soapEnv =
"<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'>
<soapenv:Body>
<GetListItems xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/'>
<listName>Tasks</listName>
<viewFields>
<ViewFields>
<FieldRef Name='Title' />
</ViewFields>
</viewFields>
</GetListItems>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>";
$.ajax({
url: "/sites/SharePointFix/_vti_bin/lists.asmx",
type: "POST",
dataType: "xml",
data: soapEnv,
complete: processResult,
contentType: "text/xml; charset="utf-8""
});
});
function processResult(xData, status) {
$(xData.responseXML).find("z\:row").each(function() {
$('#crossSiteCollectionLookUp').
append($("<option></option>").
attr("value",$(this).attr("ows_Title")).
text($(this).attr("ows_Title")));
});
};
</script>
<body>
<select id="crossSiteCollectionLookUp">
</select>
</body>
1. Download and install the jQuery library from http://www.jquery.com/
2. Upload the jQuery library in any of your SharePoint document library and refer the path in the script source URL highlighted above. For best practices on integrating jQuery with SharePoint, refer: http://weblogs.asp.net/jan/archive/2008/11/20/sharepoint-2007-and-jquery-1.aspx
3. Drag and drop the Content editor webpart where you want to show your dynamic dropdown lookup column to be visible.
4. Copy and paste the above code in the Content Editor webpart. Change the highlighted sections like List name, Column name, URL and Display column names as required in your scenario.
In the code snippet above, I am dynamically populating the Title column from my Tasks List in a Dropdown control.
Should work like a charm :)
