href="http://www.bluedoglimited.com/SharePointThoughts/ViewPost.aspx?ID=4">Bluedog</a> have a very clear explanation:<br /><blockquote><br /> 1. Go to Create | Web Part Page. The page you create is “ghosted”.<br /> 2. Open the page in FrontPage. <br /> 3. Make a change and hit save. Your page is now “unghosted”.<br /><br />Difference between #1 and #3? Huge.<br /><br />In #1, the ghosted page is basing its content from the template which exists on the file system. The asp.net parser renders the page.<br /><br />In #3, the unghosted page content is taken from the database. When you saved the page in FP, the "template" contents from #1 were copied over to the database. All future versions of that page are now based off the database copy, not the file system copy. The page is now controlled by the SafeMode parser.<br /></blockquote><br /><br />So how do I know which is which? use ghosthunter found as part of the <a href="http://www.bluedoglimited.com/Downloads/pages/Web%20Part%20Toolkit.aspx">handy webpart toolkit again from bluedog</a><br /><br />and here is how to create those <a href="http://www.bluedoglimited.com/SharePointThoughts/ViewPost.aspx?ID=157">tasty ghosted pages programmatically</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9346487.post-1159868780536670382006-10-03T09:37:00.000+00:002006-10-09T13:47:44.693+00:00Don't miss out on what's new in MOSS 2007Import and export content and associated metadata between sites as xml, which looks easier than doing battle with CAML, <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms453426.aspx">see for yourself</a><br /><br />Here is a collection of articles about the new features of MOSS 2007 as I find them, in particular order:<br /><br />Workflow : <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms460318.aspx">an article from microsoft</a><br /><br />Mobile device support : <a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/jan/archive/2006/04/27/444166.aspx">from Jan Tielan's site</a><br /><br />Blogs,Wikis and RSS support here's a groovy video from <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=208577">channel 9</a><br /><br />XSD added to WSS 3:<br />A Schema used to validate whether the specified HTML file will render correctly in Outlook 2007<br />Business data catalog DC support <br /><blockquote>"The Business Data Catalog allows structured data from line-of-business applications to be integrated into SharePoint in multiple ways through Web Parts, lists, people profiles, and search.
