According to Jan "(almost) nothing is impossible with InfoPath"

2006-12-04T15:47:00.000Z

Assuming that you have Visual Studio and Infopath SP1

2006-11-20T15:02:00.000Z

I keep mentioning this link so here are the three handy white papers from MS that do the job of explaining how themes,css and such like are related

Jan Tielmans has done again, well infact he's just updated the breadcrumb and navigation web parts, and very good and easy they are too. Here's the link

Document libraries (2003) tips and tricks

2006-11-13T13:48:00.000Z

Instead of having to train users in always checking documents out of document libraries those nice people at MSD2D have some code to tweak the template

If you're going to be uploading large documents,apart from changing the max file size, what else should you do? well 'the goldfish bowl' has the answers

simple but handy intro to logs from M-soft

mysite tips

2006-10-19T14:28:00.000Z

Those mysite pages there all very well in their way but they are prone to get unghosted if you not careful so try editing the underlying templates, here's a howto from Daniel Macpherson

dynamic dataview howto

2006-10-18T15:39:00.000Z

Lisa Wollin, has the way to connect up dataviews to sql and thence to each other, saving the writing of any code.

multi languages

2006-10-04T11:34:00.000Z

Have a read of KB article 817945

or try the language template pack from microsoft which lets you make up sites in multiple languages.

undeleters, recycle bins and such like

2006-10-04T11:22:00.000Z

Mindshare has a free template change to document libraries which could do the trick.

Or to restore anything at all try Avepoint's trash bin, the demo looks pretty neat

or here is some code from microsoft that does a similar thing.

or lastly have a look at smart library from nintex which does a whole bunch of 'document management' type stuff.

enough with the recycle bins for now.

destroy all unghosts

2006-10-03T13:15:00.000Z

Those nice people at Bluedog have a very clear explanation:

1. Go to Create | Web Part Page. The page you create is “ghosted”.
2. Open the page in FrontPage.
3. Make a change and hit save. Your page is now “unghosted”.

Difference between #1 and #3? Huge.

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.

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.

So how do I know which is which? use ghosthunter found as part of the handy webpart toolkit again from bluedog

and here is how to create those tasty ghosted pages programmatically

Don't miss out on what's new in MOSS 2007

2006-10-03T09:37:00.000Z

Import and export content and associated metadata between sites as xml, which looks easier than doing battle with CAML, see for yourself

Here is a collection of articles about the new features of MOSS 2007 as I find them, in particular order:

Workflow : an article from microsoft

Mobile device support : from Jan Tielan's site

Blogs,Wikis and RSS support here's a groovy video from channel 9

XSD added to WSS 3:
A Schema used to validate whether the specified HTML file will render correctly in Outlook 2007
Business data catalog DC support

"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. Centrally managed connections to back-end systems can be defined once and then reused by end users to access back-end data without writing any code—easily making business data part of portal content. The Business Data Catalog also provides the ability for SharePoint Enterprise Search to integrate back-end business data into the search experience, without having to write any protocol handlers, iFilters, or custom code."

from Mohamed Zaki
and here is an exciting looking app to write them with no code from Todd Baginski
the microsoft page about 'authoring metadata' looks quite enlightening too.

site definitions use .net 2 master pages here's some stuff from Todd Stegeman

Lots of accessibility and usability settings, Rizwan's site seem to have a handy list

The sharepoint tips and tricks site has some fantasic looking stuff, profiles now are user configurable and here is a description

Any other features are probably are in the boileroom

What's the fuss about workflow in MOSS 2007?

2006-10-02T14:46:00.000Z

nice couple of articles, first one from Msoft and then building custom workflow stuff from the vb-tech weblog

instead of alert me what about alert them....

2006-08-08T10:29:00.000Z

Its Jan the man again with his mighty sharepoint skills, here he provides a web part that allows admins to set alerts on users mysites....is there nothing this man can't do?

where have all the files gone?

2006-08-08T09:49:00.000Z

From schema.xml to onet.xml this natty M/soft article should tell you where to look.

If you want to change the way surveys work in sharepoint, for example putting the submit button at the bottom, or for that matter changing the text of the button from save and close to something else....then why not try this, handy article from MSD2D

Why is the Save and close button on a survey at the top?

2005-12-22T11:05:00.000Z

Worry not, here are some work rounds from those nice people at sharepoint services FAQ

If you want file level permissions what about...

2005-12-20T10:22:00.000Z

Using IRM this is a server component and also requires that the users have a client app installing but it does allowing the setting of all sorts of permissions to individual office 2003 documents. See for yourself at the microsoft site or here, for a longing discussion

Also there is an intriguing powerpoint presentation introducing some of the issues of IRM and office 2003

Tools that save time

2005-12-19T11:07:00.000Z

stsadm for windows is a handy tool which saves you the bother of learning the command line.

Building sharepoint sites from command line

2005-12-01T12:36:00.000Z

Build your sharepoint installation from commands, either use STSADM

to make a new user(s) stsadm createuser
to add them to sites and groups stsadm adduser

to add a site stsadm createsite
to add a subsite stsdmin createweb
or
various classes can be called to create additional features areas for example:
the SDK has the skinny

or maybe you could use the webservices that sharepoint exposes:

http://server:5966/_vti_adm/Admin.asmx - Administrative methods such as creating and deleting sites

http://server/_vti_bin/Alerts.asmx - Methods for working with alerts

http://server/_vti_bin/DspSts.asmx - Methods for retrieving schemas and data

Moving sharepoint around

2005-05-12T08:20:00.000Z

Using SQL to do the backup and restore seems to be the better method,than using the backup and restore within Sharepoint itself. so here's the skinny from microsoft

To instal sharepoint with SQL on a different box, here is the recipe.

File level restore in sharepoint

2005-04-19T08:30:00.000Z

Breadcrumbs and more in sharepoint

2005-03-08T14:11:00.000Z

Do you find sharepoint navigation a little bit annoying, for example why do I need to go the top right of the page to go up the tree of sites, well as luck would have it, the belgian bomber has done it again with this breadcrumb web part for you to use and enjoy.

Security problems....

2005-03-08T11:33:00.000Z

The problem as related in MSD2D

"Site groups are automatically applied to the portal’s home area and therefore the whole portal if the sub-area’s security setting is not changed. Moreover, sub-area cannot contain site groups that are not applied to the parent area. This is due to the fact that an area inherits either all or part of the site groups applied to the parent area"

So in the instance that a user is a reader at the home area but admin further down, what can you do?. Well what about

"...creating a security group in AD. In the portal’s “manage users” page, set “domain users” as readers. This will give all the domain users reader’s permission. Then in the “topics\divisions\sales” area’s “Manage Security Settings” page, assign administration permission to domain group “Sales”. After these steps, every member of the “Sales” group will have administrator’s permission regarding “topics\divisions\sales” area and reader’s permission regarding other areas. Later you can add or remove members to or from the “Sales” group to assign or revoke administration permissions to or from actual windows accounts".

Web parts in standard forms

2005-02-22T10:59:00.000Z

Why can't an administrator have web part gallery access in their standard forms? Well you can, those nice people at MSD2D have a solution which they call a 'Web part farm'

Want to create ASP.NET's on a box that has sharepoint installed?

2005-02-10T14:35:00.000Z

Two tricks. If the ASP.NET is to work within sharepoint then create the webapplication within /_layouts directory

BUT

If you don't want anything to do with sharepoint, you'll find your sharepoint errors out, so you need to set up an 'excluded managed path' See more in admin help pages.
or
Go to Sharepoint Central Administration
Configure virtual server settings from the virtual server list page
Choose a virtual server
Choose Define Managed paths
and you can exclude a particular virtual directory (amongst other things) from being managed within sharepoint. Upshot you can create an ASP.NET app that has nothing to do with sharepoint.

CAML in the desert

2005-02-10T10:39:00.000Z

Collaborative Apllication Markup language is what you've been thirsting for, as the microsoft site has it:

Collaborative Application Markup Language (CAML) is the XML-based language that is used to build and customize Web sites based on SharePoint™ Team Services from Microsoft®.

CAML can be used to do the following:

* Provide schema definition to the Web site provisioning system about how the site looks and acts.
* Define views and forms for data and page rendering or execution.
* Act as a rendering language that performs functions in the DLL like pulling a value from a particular field.
* Provide batch functionality for posting multiple commands to the server using protocol.

Why would you use CAML as opposed to just using Microsoft FrontPage® or other editing tools?

* To make universal changes, such as adding a new logo to the main pages of every site you create.
* To define a content type, such as for adding Flash movies to the SharePoint team Web site.
* It provides the ultimate in customization and flexibility; manipulating CAML allows you total control over the site provisioning system, for instance, when creating a list or adding a view.

If you need to open links in a new windows those nice people at msd2d have the answer:

This is a no-brainer... I have struggled to figure out how to have my links open in a new browser window and some of the examples I could find out there really looked tough, but thankfully this was far easier that I originally thought. Maybe this will help somebody else. Just create your links list, open the page that has the list view on it in FrontPage and right-click on the list, and click “Convert to XSLT Data View“. After it is converted, you can simply right-click on one of the links and select “Hyperlink Properties” and change the target frame according to your preference

Getting Usage Statistics on Sharepoint Portal 2003 Areas

2005-01-28T11:41:00.000Z

This comes from this microsoft blog

"There are pages available in Windows SharePoint Services that will allow you to obtain usage statistics for WSS Sites. However, this is not the case for Areas in SharePoint Portal Server 2003. There are no built-in hyperlinks in the Admin pages for viewing usage statistics for a give Area.

Does this mean that usage statistics are not available for Areas in SPS 2003? No, it just means that you have to know a backdoor URL to get to the pages that display the stats. Here is the format of the URL:

http://{your portal name}/_layouts/1033/usageDetails.aspx

This URL will take you to a usage statistics page for the Home Area of your portal. (Note: the 1003 is the designator for you language, so it will be different if not using U.S. English).

If you want to look at usage statistics for a Subarea, for instance, News, you would modify the URL to look as follows:

http://{your portal name}/News/_layouts/1033/usageDetails.aspx"

Microsoft eat their own dog food!

2005-01-28T11:30:00.000Z

Why hasn't Microsoft designed its site in Sharepoint? they have and they call the process eating our own dog food, see how it tastes, I think you'll find it's chock full of tasty morsels of sharepoint information.

Style sheets and accessibility

2005-01-28T09:42:00.000Z

Each user can have their own choice of style sheet with which, for example, they could get a personalized view of sharepoint. How!? you cry, in I.E. you can specify a bespoke style sheet for your users, see how here.

2004-12-06T21:51:00.000Z

As the rwhitepaper advanced migration scenarios says:

"The two document library migration tools developed by Microsoft are Spout.exe and Spin.exe. Spout.exe, the Document Library Export Tool, is a Microsoft Windows program that reads Web Storage System–based document libraries and exports (or outputs) the selected content as a collection of files in a format that is understood by the import program. Spin.exe, the Document Library Import Tool, is a Windows command-line program that reads the collection of files created by Spout.exe and adds the documents and associated descriptive information to the selected portal area, portal site, team site, or personal Web site on the server running SharePoint Portal Server 2003"
