    - Custom webpart.. rounded corners Hey all.. I'm a graphic designer.. i make pretty pictures.. i've been thrown into the sharepoint deep end and i need some help. I've been searching around for a solution to a design mockup that we need to cut up and convert to sharepoint. The problem is rounded corners on webparts. Our client has this thing about rounded corners.. it's part of their brand image.. so we added rounded corners to the webparts on our mockup. So the question is.. is this possible http://www.users.on.net/~barillaj/dan_random/webpart_rounded.jpg I've seen a few css and javascript hacks.. but none that really apply to what i'm trying to do. Any help would be MUCH appreciated.. thanks. Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion Search database? SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Incorrect display name We have a user whose display name in SharePoint (MOSS 2007) is coming up incorrectly. The last character of his last name is being dropped. I've gone through all the settings on his account in AD and verified that the last name is spelled correctly, and even looked at all the attributes of this user in ADSI Edit to make sure there wasn't some reference to the incorrect spelling. I've tried removing the user's rights from SharePoint, changing the user's AD display name to something that's purposely wrong, and then re-adding him to SharePoint. However, it continues to show the same, incorrect display name (and never the new, incorrect one). What's strange is that this user was also displayed incorrectly on our old SPS2003 server. I created a new SharePoint 2007 environment (no upgrade) and once again I'm seeing the same behavior. I assume that it's pulling the misspelling from AD, but where I've seen references to some utilities such as wssuserutil, but I'm not clear if that's compatible with MOSS 2007 or if it would help me in this situation anyway. Any thoughts Thanks, Jesse Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion Search database? SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Problems with FBA, please help I'm trying to figure out why my FBA keeps breaking down on me. It has happened on two servers now. I've gotten FBA up and running, added users, etc. Then after a day or two users begin to not be able to log in. The aspnetdb seems to be fine, the users are not showing signs of being locked out. If I try to log in, I get a '..check your user name and password.." type error shown on the fba login screen. The first time in a group of login attempts seems to throw an error to the event log, but after that, subsequent attempts do not log an error. I have seen both 4005 and 4006 errors in the log on these occasions. I've checked my web.config, the timeouts seem fine and the application names are all set to "/". I've tried deleting the aspnetdb and recreating it, though after the recreation, Central Administration can no longer find any users to add them to the web application administrators group. Therefor I can't update the site settings or give anyone access to the site. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with using SPCommands for Powershell to set up the FBA. Please let me know if anyone has experienced similar issues using this setup package. I'm using it because in the production environment we will not be able to install visual studio to get the aspnetdb initial user created. Are there any other ways of getting the db setup without VS Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion Search database? SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Trouble after B2tr Hey! (Sorry if i've picked the wrong forum). I got sharepoint along with pro plus about 2 months ago and was informed about a month ago that I would need Beta 2 Tech refresh to carry on using Office after the launch. I haven't tried to use sharepoint since until last week. It installed something before trying to open, then didn't open at all. When I tried again to open it, it displays, in a small box in the centre: Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. (line about losing work) Please tell microsoft about this problem. (more lines) Debug.....Send Error Report.....Don't send I have tried pretty much everything and don't know what to do.

    - Sharepoint calendar on 1024x768 resolution The Sharepoint 3.0 calendar on our home page when viewed in resolutions 1024x768 or below does not fit on the page. It breaks the tables and puts a scroll bar at the bottom. This is not functional! We've searched for an answer and tried several fixes. If we change the width of the web part it adds a scroll bar at the bottom of the calendar. Any suggestions appreciated. Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion Search database?

    - task list can be submitted although mandatory fields are not filled in I am working in MOSS 2007 and SPD 2007. I have created a workflow in SPD that involves a task list item. This task list item has a mandatory choice field. Unfortunately MOSS does not check if the field has been filled in by the user. The user can click "Complete Task" and the task will be completed although the mandatory field is still empty. The web form shows an asterix * behind the mandatory field and it looks all as if it should work. However it doesn't. Does anyone have an idea how to get arround this Thanks.

    - Workflow modification form Hi everybody, I am trying to enable people to modify workflow association data after a workflow has been instanciated for an item. But i think that this is not the right way, so i understand that i need to use modification. So what i did is use an enableworkflowmodification activity and use onworkflowmodified ( in a listen activity so i can listen for itemchanged event at the same time). for enableworkflowmodification i use the same InfoPath form as for the initiation and i will the modificationform with initiationdata. I have set up the workflow.xml to use the same form association for modification. The workflow compiles and seems to run correcty...only one problem....how can i actualy get to this form and modify data i have looked everywhere for this modification form in the SharePoint site but i cant find it. Maybe i misunderstood how the modification works Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion Search database? SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Save a Site Template including sub-sites I know the question seems to answer itself, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask... If I've created a top-level site, and for various navigation reasons, created 6 or 7 sub-sites under it, and I then want to "templatize" the whole set (top + sub-sites), so that when a new site is created off the template, they get an empty top+sub-sites. How can I do it I'm using MOSS 2007, and don't see where the standard "Save site as template" option allows you to include sub-sites. I haven't used stsadm.exe, but in looking over the documentation, I don't see where it does quite what I want, either. Is there a third-party tool that can do this I'm also using SharePoint Designer, but that doesn't seem to offer anything additional in this regard... Any help is appreciated!

    - Indexing MDI files from Office Document Imaging Hi, Microsoft document imaging is a nice tool to get paper scans into sharpoint. In the 2003 version MDI files, the output of MicrosoftDocumentImaging, have been included in search results by an default iFilter scanning the meta data which has been added by the ocr part of MDI. It seems that this have been discontinued in MOSS 2007. This is a real bad thing not having this capability anymore.

    - Can not get UDF to work with COM Addin Hi, I've created simple UDF following the post: http://blogs.msdn.com/cumgranosalis/archive/2006/08/03/ServerClientUDFsCompat1.aspx and I've got my UDF working on SharePoint. I can open workbook in a web browser, change parameters, recalculate and it works fine. Then I��ve decided to add COM part and implement IDTExtensibility2 interface, following the post: http://blogs.msdn.com/cumgranosalis/archive/2007/03/07/ServerClientUDFsCompat3.aspx and when I open same workbook in a web browser and do recalculate workbook I am getting #NAME instead of the result. I am assuming that I have proper settings on Share Point Server because same workbook and same SampleUDF.dll are working without code for IDTExtensibility2. Here is the code, when COM part is commented out it works. When I rebuild project including code that was commented out I have problem described above: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using Microsoft.Office.Excel.Server.Udf; using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel; using Microsoft.Win32; using Extensibility; namespace SampleUDF { [UdfClass] [Guid(TestingUDFforF9.ClsId)] [ProgId(TestingUDFforF9.ProgId)] [ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.AutoDual)] [ComVisible(true)] public class TestingUDFforF9 : Object//, IDTExtensibility2 { public TestingUDFforF9() { } const string ClsId = "F0652C22-EE75-4651-B958-D1C9EC1C693E"; const string ProgId = "SampleUDF.TestingUDFforF9"; //private Excel.Application m_app = null; //private object addInInstance; #region IDTExtensibility2 Members /* public void OnAddInsUpdate(ref Array custom) { } public void OnBeginShutdown(ref Array custom) { } public void OnConnection(object Application, ext_ConnectMode ConnectMode, object AddInInst, ref Array custom) { m_app = (Excel.Application)Application; addInInstance = AddInInst; } public void OnDisconnection(ext_DisconnectMode RemoveMode, ref Array custom) { } public void OnStartupComplete(ref Array custom) { } */ #endregion [UdfMethod(IsVolatile = true)] public double MyDouble(double d) { // if (m_app != null) // m_app.Volatile(Type.Missing); return d * 9; } [UdfMethod(IsVolatile = true)] public string CurrentTime() { //if (m_app != null) // m_app.Volatile(Type.Missing); return (DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString()); } [UdfMethod(IsVolatile = true)] public string GetNthWord(string sentence, int index, string delimiter) { if (delimiter.Length > 1) { throw new InvalidOperationException(); } string[] split = sentence.Split(delimiter[0]); if (split.Length <= index) { throw new InvalidOperationException(); } //if (m_app != null) // m_app.Volatile(Type.Missing); return split[index]; } [ComRegisterFunction] public static void RegistrationMethod(Type type) { if (typeof(TestingUDFforF9) != type) return; RegistryKey key = Registry.ClassesRoot.CreateSubKey (@"CLSID\{" + ClsId + @"}\Programmable"); key.Close(); } [ComUnregisterFunction] public static void UnregistrationMethod(Type type) { if (typeof(TestingUDFforF9) != type) return; Registry.ClassesRoot.DeleteSubKey(@"CLSID\{" + ClsId + @"}\Programmable"); } } } Thanks for your help.

    - Outlook/MOSS integration - missing the obvious? Hi - we are looking to synchronize a MOSS calendar list with the default Calendar in Outlook 2007. SharePoint insists on creating a new Calendar for every list I synchronise but does anyone know a way to change the destination Calendar so that the event items in the SharePoint Calendar list are actually synched with my default Calendar. This must be a common business request for organisations looking to use the Outlook/Sharepoint integration features in 2007. For example I've given someone access to my Calendar to see what I'm up to but if the SharePoint Calendar items are syched to the separate Calendar that MOSS created, this other user can't see all the additional appointments set for me in the SharePoint Calendar list. I could provide access to the MOSS generated calendar and ask the user to cross reference but if you multiply this by a hundred users all with different Calendars created by different Sharepoint lists this becomes impractical. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious - can anyone help Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion Search database? SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Search by content type returning incorrect results. Hi, I'm trying to set up my MOSS 2007 portal so users can search items by the item's content type. I found a few links (listed below) that tallk about this and I followed their instructions but my queries are pulling back too many items. They pull back items that are not of the specified content type but contain the content type's name. For example, a keyword search such as "ContentType ocument" will return all items of content type "Document" but it also returns all items with the word "Document" in them (even if they are not of content type "Document"). This is obviously not what we want. As per the instructions in the links below I modified the "Properties" XML of the advanced search web part so "ContentType" could be choosen in the Advanced Search property picker. ("ContentType" does exist as a Managed Property on my site and it is mapped to the crawled properties "Basic:5(text)" and "ows_ContentType(text)" ). I made another managed property and mapped it to just the "ows_ContentType(text)" crawled property but the search results where the same. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Phil Here are a few links that reference searching on content types and adding managed properties to advanced search: http://sjoere.blogspot.com/2007/04/use-content-type-for-search-scope.html http://souls-end.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!AEC42F315B4528B0!2669.entry http://www.sharepointblogs.com/aaronrh/archive/2007/03/28/excluding-content-types-from-search-results.aspx Customizing and Extending the Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007 Search http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb608302.aspx Creating and Exposing Managed Properties in the Advanced Search Page of SharePoint Server Enterprise Search http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb428648.aspx Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion Search database?

    - Beginner Questions that I can't find answers to... I recently stumbled into a project and was handed a list of 200-300 requirements for a document management system. The client wants Sharepoint and we (my team) have to respond to their requirements using Sharepoint 2007 as our point of reference. Needless to say, none of us are familiar with Sharepoint and after reading the "Dummies" manual, we still have a small list of questions that we can't find answers for. I have tried the almighty "Google", but have had no luck there as well. I am throwing myself on the mercy of the professionals. If anyone can answer any of these questions I would be forever grateful. Please don't flame me too bad, like I said, I have no experience with Sharepoint , or any other document management system for that matter. I do have a technical background in development and am familiar with the technologies used like SQL 2005, AD, .NET etc. so feel free to keep the conversation somewhat high IQ . I put any notes regarding the requirement in blue . 1. The ability to search documents stored in a DB on index and full text basis and support boolean operators like AND, OR, Not and wildcard. I know you can search the docs on metadata and index, but is that in a DB 2. Set maximum number of files or individula file size that can be stored in a library. 3. Out of the Box, are any documented procedures provided for authentication relationships (so other than online, is any documentation provided in print with the product) 4. the ability to limit outside access through digital certificates 5. Out of the Box, are any documentation provided for remote access requirements 6. Are detailed log reports and analysis available on the document life cycle (workflow) 7. Are thery any default security reports, if so define. 8. Intelligent VFS - as simple to use as a shared drive through CIFS or FTP (okay they lost me here) 9. Are there training courses available for security administration control 10. annual Support costs (I couldn't find anything regarding annual licensing) Again, I appreciate any help and like I said, I started with 200-300 so 10 isn't that bad... right thanks Mike Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion Search database?

    - Adding "Person Column" to a list I may be barking up the wrong tree but thought I would throw it out there. Using MOSS and the BDC, we have the capability to add Business Data as columns in a list. How would I go about creating a "People" type in my BDC that pulls the data from the user profiles in MOSS What I would like to do is have a drop down or search screen for selecting a person from the profile store instead of keying the information into a contact list and then having the information be out of date , etc... It would be much easier to just allow them to select a person and pull the data from there. They would also get the "Presense" pawn next the persons name etc.. which would be very useful.

    - UH-OH! i turned Simple Publishing On - How do i turn it Off? I have recently deployed a site, where i turned Simple Publishing On in my sitedefinition. The reason why i turned it On was to get rid of the approval workflow which my client did not need. However it appear that not only the approval workflow was removed, but also the scheduling feature - therefore i will have to turn it Off again. It will be easy for me to deploy a new sitedefinition, whith the SimplePublishing set to Off, but a lot of sites has allready been created using the "On" version. I was thinking about making a small application that enumerated my Webs collection to accomplish that - but i cannot find what properties to use.

    - MOSS 2007 Custom Site Template error on initial creation? As the site collection administrator, I created a WSS site with the correct look and feel and welcome page layout our customer wanted and saved the site as a site template. The new site coordinator of this site (different user - has full control) is now trying to create a sub site using the site template. She clicks once on the "Create" option below the "Site Actions" button. She clicks once on the "Sites and Workspaces" link below the Web Pages header on the Create page. She enters a valid Title, Description and URL name on the New SharePoint Site page. She clicks once on the "Custom" tab of the Template Selection and chooses the new site template (is the only option on the "Custom" tab). She scrolls to the bottom of the page and clicks once on the "Create" button. She immediately gets an "Error: Access Denied" error. So we assumed nothing was created, however when she goes back to the parent site (using the "Go back to site" link on the error page), she sees a link on the Quick Launch with her new site's name. Clicking on this link opens a "Template Selection" page. She scrolls down the list of templates and sees the same site template she tried to use in the original creation, selects it and then clicks on the "OK" button. This creates the site ! The only "problem" with this new site is the top navigation settings originally defined are not kept. Can anyone help me fully understand why the original creation fails and the second one does not I have a lot of site coordinators (with full access) who will be generating sub sites (it's all about self service), however it is unacceptable to have them "create it twice" as it were.

What does the WSS_Search_<Servername> database do what kind of data does it store

Top

Re: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion Search database?

Mike Walsh MVP

You don't say (and it would help more than a bit!) but I suppose you are running MOSS 2007.

If that's the case the WSS search database is -as far as I know - for the help files.

(In WSS 3.0 it's for the data stored in the WSS 3.0 system)

Hi, the search database is for WSS 3.0; I believe the search database for WSS 3.0 is also for the help files. I'm not too sure.

I just restored the search database (wss_search_abcd) using central administration and am having some problems reattaching it. I went to Operations\Services on Server\ and tried to start up the service. For the database name, I put in wss_search_abcd; however, when I pressed OK, it said the database was already exist I'm not sure what else I can use to reattach it.

Is it imperitive that you keep the existing index
I have tried to restore an existing index database in the past and got nowhere. We ended up creating a new index database and configured Central Admin to index every 5 mins to get the index built.
