    - Solved : [WSS 3.0] Hide unauthorized WebParts Hi, A quick post just to shared whit the community a SharePoint Services 3.0 WebControl able to hide unauthorized WebParts. You can download it from http://www.bewise.fr/download/toolbox/Bewise.SharePoint.RoleViewerManager.zip The .zip file contains a "Read Me.txt" file explaining how to install the control in your SharePoint 3.0 Web Applications. -- Laurent Cotton (Aka Suchii) MCTS / MCSD.NET / MCT www.bewise.fr blog : http://sharepoint.over-blog.fr/ Tag: SharePoint - Design and Customization [SharePoint Designer 2007] Create Workflow : User Field SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Vista/XP differences when mapping drive to sharepoint site with net use via WebClient service/WebDAV Trying to map a drive to Sharepoint (2007) site on Vista (Enterprise) via login script. Basically something like: net use s: " http://server.domain.com/site " or net use s: " http://server.domain.com/doclib ", etc. Works OK under XP SP2 but on Vista it insists on prompting for credentials (user ID + Password) when all I really want is for it to use the existing creds the person is already logged on with! Really hoops the login process. Tried enabling Basic Auth. for WebClient service (HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters\BasicAuthLevel=2 + reboot) but no luck there - hoping it's not another UAC "enhancement". Anyone had any luck working around this or have any better recommendations Thinking about adding to quick links (into Office My Places bar), but drive mapping is (or supposed to be) quick + easy, closer to what users are used to, and good for bulk migration/copy.

    - Multi-valued (ARRAY) Someone please help me to find out what should be the Managed Property Type for the Multi-valued (ARRAY). If i use Managed Property Type as TEXT for the Choice Column then the query throws error Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040E07 which seems this is something to do with conversion of the Data Types.

    - URGENT : WSS - Authentication Provider to a specific OU in AD Hi all, I have a requirement for a customer to only allow certain users, which are in a certain OU in AD to use WSS as we have a shared AD environment. I tried installing WSS and just using local accounts, however WSS would not pick them up at all (because it is in a domain I suspect). So I turned my attention to the AD membership provider, which for the most part, appears to work on the site level. However Central Administration is another story. I try to change the Site Collection Admin, and no users are returned by the user search tool... at all, no matter what I search for, nothing! I then tried the LDAP provider, same deal, team site works fine (although cant log in, due to no users being setup I would imagine) and central admin will not pick up the users at all. Can anyone offer some suggestions on how I can get this working This is a matter of urgency Also, for "I did it wrong" proposes, here are the sections of my web.configs Here is my extranetted team site web.config section: http://202.58.54.9/teamsite.txt Here is the central administration site web.config section: http://202.58.54.9/ca.txt Please note that username / password / LDAP path has been modified. NOTE: I did have code blocks in here, but they edited out my elements names/tags :\ I copy and pasted these lines directly from the web.config's (and not just from 1) I have also checked the dll version and it is a match. I have also tried the LDAPProvider also with exactly the same amount of success So, PLEASE if you could please take a look and maybe point out something which I’m not seeing or have a solution, please post it. Remember, I need WSS to only authenticate people in a particular OU inside of AD (3-4 levels deep) Thanks & Cheers, Daniel Brown Tag: SharePoint - Design and Customization [SharePoint Designer 2007] Create Workflow : User Field SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Displaying list items in another site's list Hi Everyone, I two WSS sites that are on the same level. I would like to display the calendar events from one site, within the other site using the Gantt view. I figured out how to display list items from another site's list using a data view part, but I cannot use the Gantt view. Is there a way to configure the calendar list of one site to display the calendar list items from the peer site I figure this will make it easy to display them within a Gantt view using the calendar web part.

    - Alerts not working correct with custom views in an issue list I'm trying to get this to work for about 2 weeks now and can't find a proper solution for this issue: We're using WSS V 3 with an SQL Express Database. The alert mails are working fine when I'm the only person who is assigned to this issue, with "Alert on any changes" - option and also with the "My Issues" - option (Im creating issues via a test account and assign them to myself). I'm creating the alerts for the other users (about 50) via the administrator account. After opening a new issue with me and a few other users assigend to this problem the alert message is not send somehow. Also there's no error message generated in the log files and event monitor. The mail addresses assigned to the users are correct, so is the outgoing smtp server (We got a few other systems which are sending via this smtp server without any problems, also it worked for me in the beginning). Also I don't know about the option "Send mail when ownership is assigned". Should I enable this Any help appriciated!

    - Emails not being generated after task item has changed There is an option for Task lists under Settings->List Settings->Advanced->Email Notification for the owner of the task to receive an email notification when ownership is assigned or when the task has been changed. I am experiencing some rather inconsistent results with this setting. After the task is assigned the owner will receive an email notifiying them that they were assigned a task. If the task is changed there is not an email being generated by the MOSS server. However if the task is changed by the service account then the email is generated and the owner receives the update, that is the only part of this that is consistent. Overall the Alert Me function works fine throughout the environment and users get all alerts that they have subscribed to. I have opened a ticket with Microsoft and they are actively working the issue but I thought I would see if anyone else is experiencing the same issue. Another note is that Microsoft has been able to repro the same issue in their test lab. Any ideas or help is appreciated. Thanks.

    - Boolean search in FullTextSqlQuery Hi We are creating a custom webpart for searching specific content types. The content type contains several yes/no site columns. Our search webpart contains checkboxes to filter on the yes/no columns. But when I apply a when statement like “ WHEN SmokingAllowed=true” the result set is empty. The values are there because the query returns results, without the when statement like this: “SELECT title, URL, SmokingAllowed FROM scope()” Results: “Test, http://testserver/pages/test.aspx, True” “Test2, http://testserver/pages/test2.aspx, False” Does anyoneknow how to solve this Using contains don’t do the trick.

    - SharePoint Services Service Pack 3 errors HELP We unfortunately were not paying attention and the SharePoint Services Service Pack 3 was installed automatically Wednesday morning the 19th. We do not have an image of server to roll back to and the SP cannot be uninstalled. Does anyone have a solution to these problems: 1 - When users access our Intranet via SSL externally and attempt to look at a page with a Custom Data View of a list or DL from a different site they get this error: "Unable to display this Web Part. To troubleshoot the problem, open this Web page in a Windows SharePoint Services-compatible HTML editor such as FrontPage. If the problem persists, contact your Web server administrator." When users try to access theses same pages internally on the network they just get denied access to those pages. I have to mention it only happens on pages with a Custom Data View of a list or DL from a different site. Addtionally when our 3 SPS and WSS administrators view these pages internally everything is fine and the Data View Web Parts render perfectly so we think this is some sort of permissions issue possibly. 2 - No user can use the Edit in Datasheet view feature on lists. Whent the 'Edit in Datasheet View' button is clicked the Datasheet control appears to load however the page is redirected back to the default Stand view in every case. We have a ticket with MS; however they are dragging their feet and has been over 48 hrs since we submitted the ticket.

    - Pages won't open in SharePoint Designer I downloaded a trial version of SharePoint Designer and am trying to edit pages in my Sharepoint site with it. I can open up the site and see all the .aspx files, but when I double click on one nothing happens. If I right-click and select "Open With > SharePoint Designer" it also does nothing. If I select "Open With > Notepad", the file appears in Notepad. Is there some secret to opening the files in Designer I have installed Designer on my XP workstation, as well as a test 2003 server. I have tried editing files on two different Sharepoint servers. Anyone know what's wrong Thanks.

    - COM object with MOSS 2007 We have 3rd party component from Jinny that is used to send SMS2WEB, we built a web part control on a seperated .NET solution and it's working fine. but when we put this webpart inside our sharepoint server portal it's not working and gives teh following error: "Unable to cast COM object of type 'VASCMDTest.VASCMDClass' to interface type 'VASCMDTest._VASCMD'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{6AA13D08-2DB3-11D5-B353-5C9357000000}' failed due to the following error: Error loading type library/DLL. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80029C4A (TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY))." below are steps we followed on the server to run it the Active X component "VASCMD" used to access the Remote Command Line Interface of the VAS Platform The following shows the steps must be taken to use "VASCMD": 1. Registering it to the Microsoft IIS server using regsvr32 application. 2. Copy "vascmddll.dll" and paste it in Windows\System32 folder. In our .Net solution, we tried to use it but we faced that if you are refrenceing it in a vb code you got only one Interface "VASCMD" but when using it in C# code we got 3 Interfaces "VASCMD","_VASCMD" and ""VASCMDTestClass"".

    - Use InfoPath form to insert/edit a List Item Hi, I want to use InfoPath form(s) to insert and edit a list item, because you can do allot more with infopath in an easyer way. I want to change the value of a field after another field has been changed, and this seems impossible with a custom aspx form. I also want to use attachments wich also doesn't work if you customize the aspx form, wich has te effect that you cannot use javascript to change values of a field(because you simply cannot add javascript to a standard list form). My plan is to make two custom pages that host InfoPath forms wich will handle the inserting and editing a list item. I know how to make a page that hosts an infopath form ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa701078.aspx ) and how to submit to a sharepoint list( http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2007/03/26/submitting-to-a-sharepoint-list.aspx ) so in theory i could make the insert form(don't know how to handle attachment yet), but for the edit form i don't know how to get the list item i want to edit. i am thinking of getting the list item ID from the URL,put it in the Infopath form some way and then fire a webservice request to get the list item i want to edit. after this i still need to look at the attachment problem. Does anyone have experience with this, then please share your knowledge.

    - Question about project management using sharepoint? Multiple projects. Hi, I am fairly new to Sharepoint and I have a "conceptual" question. I want to set up a project management portal using WSS 3.0 (not portal server). I want to create a site where members of my company and outside contractors and clients can collaborate on projects using the basic features of WSS 3.0 such as document library, lists, discussions, etc. It's all there. I understand it is possible to create a new WSS "site" for each project, with it's own URL, etc. But I'm going to have 10-20 concurrent projects with many of the same users on the same projects. It seems silly to have them log into different URLs for each project. I would prefer one login and a view to multiple projects. It seems that WSS is designed for a project to be it's own WSS site. Does anyone have any suggestions how to architect my setup to allow users an experience of managing multiple projects using one WSS site I understand this may be going against the "way of Sharepoint". But your comments are appreciated! Thank you JC Tag: SharePoint - Design and Customization [SharePoint Designer 2007] Create Workflow : User Field SharePoint Products and Technologies

As shown below http://servername:42392/default.aspx Setting up other sites on this box under this site works great, though i want to use the mysite feature still. When i try to access mysite, and this is for any user i get this error, Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly. Requested URL: /MySite/_layouts/MySite.aspx This is because the URL it is point to is still the site on port 80, which has been stopped, an example is http://servername/MySite/_layouts/MySite.aspx instead of http://vburdwweb01:42392/MySite/_layouts/MySite.aspx Is there a way to change which sites the mysite pages point to Or is there a way to view the mysites without using the original site Any help would be awesome, I'm so stuck with this!

Hi :)

i'm creating a workflow that give the task to a person X to assign another task to another person. So when the workflow begans, X was invited to enter the name of the other person in a "user field" to enter the name of this person. I use the "Collect Data from User" action but when the action finishes, i get numbers like 26 or 28 for the user so i don't know how i can use this user field in another step of my workflow. So when a test the collect variable obtained by the Collect Action, it gives me a number and not the name of the person wich X has chosen.

Can you help me for this please

I get the same error. It seems to be user list item ID.

If you found the answer I would appeciate if you post it to the forum.

thanks in advance , Marina

Re: SharePoint - Design and Customization [SharePoint Designer 2007] Create Workflow : User Field

Marina

I've got it!

The number you get is a Task ID of the task that is automatically created for collecting this data.

To get the value of your field you need to do 'Workflow lookup...' not on the 'Workflow Data' , but on 'Tasks' list further down in the drop-down list.

There you can use the task ID you've got in the workflow variable to find right task instance. Among the tasks fields you'll find your user field.

regards,

Marina
