    - WSS 3.0, SP 2007 Questions We are making decision to develop or not to develop system using WSS 3.0 and SP 2007. Now we have many questions and can't find answers Can You help us 1. If we installed our system (customized using .NET) with .NET assemblies tot he customer's site, how could we do automatic updates Using Web Content Management System But does it allow to initiate updating from the customer's side and to download updates from our server It seems that only we could put updates to customer's site. May be there is another way 2. Is it possible to organizae protection on fields level 3. We read that it's possible to create custom field types, but didn't found any informatino on how 4. Can we customize the search 5. Can list relationships be defined in such a way that no action can violate them, like the relationships in any SQL database 6. How does SharePoint handle the deletion of a related item (one used for lookups) What is the default behavior and can it be customized 7. Is it true that Web Services are automatically available for any SP List and forms that you create Does it use the validation and authorization of the form Where can I read about it 8. Could we create not event-driven workflow but timer-driven, e-mail driven (as in some WWF hosts) workflow 9. What's the naming conventions, development guidelines Sorry for too many questions Thanks!

    - Message "The selected data source does not have any content available" when trying to create new report in Report Builder I am having the same problem. I guess it is something to do with the way the DB is set up. I'm guessing that simply having a DB with a single table will not do. Try creating a DB with a few tables and some sort of relationship between them. I used an old sql script to create a northwing example DB and it works again, just like for Adventure Works Just my two cents.

    - SharePoint Security: Setting up "Forms based Authentication" Greetings. We are currently in the process of setting up a new SharePoint server with Forms based security. Since we will be using multiple Internet users we wanted to avoid the hassles of Active Directory for all (As default) and we are having some issues getting the initial forms based setup to function. It seems this wonderful feature is not well documented and the few articles we have found have been less than helpful. Does anyone have enough experience to give us a little guidance on the security setup using forms including the security database setup or have an idea where a guidance document is Any help would be appreciated!

    - Best way ... bring ASP.NET 2.0 application onto SharePoint server Hey Kev, Thanks! Unfortunately, I think that is only for paths within the URL namespace ... Another interesting screen that seems like it might help is the Alternative Access Mapping (In Operations of Central Admin) ... specifically 'Map to External Resource" ... can't find much information on this though ...

    - Unable to connect ... Hi Dan, I'll be honest almost all the testing and work I've done with BDC while building BDC Meta Man has been on a single server, but from what you've pointed out in the SDK it seems you will need to get SSO working (or kerberos). I thought pass through worked even across servers out of the box but obviously not. Is the account your application pool is running under on MOSS a domain account or local one I'll try and get this scenario setup over the next week, lets keep each other updated as to how it goes.

    - Provisioning Pages with custom contenttypes using SiteDefinitions Hi Morten, I have already successfully implemented a custom site definition using custom content types, custom master pages and custom page layouts. It works really well. Have you created your custom page layout and content types using features If yes you also need to heirs IDs tthem in the site or web features section of the onet XML file. If you are not using features then maybe this is why you have a problem I'm actually only using the properties ContenType and PublishingPageLayout, not the PublishingAssociatedContentType. Are you creating your site definition onet.xml file from scratch I used the BLANKINTERNET one as a starting point. You might not need all the configurations in that onet.xml file but it gives a good overview of properties and settings that can be used.

    - Problem while accessing document from SharePoint server located on port other than 80 Hi all, I am facing problem while accessing document from SharePoint server located on port other than 80 . I want to access SharePoint document in my C# application. I have two options; either to use Dot Net dialog boxes or MS Word dialog boxes. 1) Using MS Word dialog box in C# , I can open the document successfully. I am accessing MS Word dialog box using Word.Application in C# (com - Word 11.0 library). But the problem exists with saving the document. The newly created document to save is not necessarily Word document, it can be pdf or txt (or with some other extension). So I need to pass filters to Save File Dialog box. And For MS Word Save File dialog box, we can not pass filters (It gives runtime error) . If we can pass filters to MS Word Save File dialog box, then also my problem can be solved. 2) I have preferred to use Standard dot net dialog boxes (Which are similar as dialog boxes used in notepad) due to limitation of MS Word dialog box specified above. Standard dot net dialog boxes works finely with filters but has some problems with accessing SharePoint documents on port other than 80. SharePoint server is located at path: http://sharepoint-serv:26791/sites/mysite I h a ve uploaded text document (SharePoint Doc.txt) on path http://sharepoint-serv:26791/sites/mysite/mydocs When I opened this txt document, the path returned was from "Temporary Internet Files" folder. If you open any document on SharePoint server located on port 80, it is directly opened from SharePoint server without downloading it on local machine. I has observed same problem in notepad also. I tried to access the document as: 1) I opened notepad 2) Clicked on File>>Open menu 3) Typed path http://sharepoint-serv:26791/sites/mysite in Filename section, and selected file SharePoint Doc.txt. 4) But the file opened as SharePoint Doc[1].txt, means notepad downloaded to folder - "Temporary internet files" which is not expected(if you open any word document on SharePoint server, it is directly opened from SharePoint server without downloading it on local machine). 5) When I tried to save the document, the Error message displayed as Cannot create the C:\Documents and Settings..... \Temporary Internet Files\...\Sharepoint Doc[1].txt Make sure that path and filename are correct. I have also tried to open the document as \\sharepoint-serv:26791\sites\mysite\SharePoint%20Doc.txt , still its not working. If the SharePoint server is located on default port (port 80), this problem doesn't exist. When I tried to access document on other SharePoint server http://sharepoint-serv/Shared%20Documents , It's working perfectly. About environment, I am using operating system Windows XP with service pack 2 installed . I am using Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft Office 2003. SharePoint server in located in intranet having operating system Windows Server 2003 It seems notepad dialog box /Dot net dialog box can not open documents for port other than 80. Are there any settings required to solve this problem (I have already posted same problem in "General Questions" section but haven't found any answer, so I am posting this problem in this Development section) Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion Setting up meetings in a Sharepoint Calendar SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - PassThrough authentication fails: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE' The reason why it is failing with "NT Authority\network service" is because you have the web application running under that account. If you want to use a SQL account you will need to set up Single Sign On (SSO). If this is the method you would like to use write back and I will walk you through or provide you a web address that details the procedure. If you want to use reverttoself or passthrough (which I have not used yet, but is the easiest), you will need to change the account you are running Sharepoint under in IIS to a domain account so it can impersonate properly. From what I understand you can do this with the default NTML authentication. Out of curiousity, where have you seen the properties for Rdbconnection User ID and Password detailed because I have never seen an example of that.

    - Working with the data returned by the GetList web service. I discovered a great website that describes how to use XPath for Sharepoint results simliar to the way Chase did, but on a grander scale. http://www.csharphelp.com/archives4/archive602.html There are a number of namespaces Sharepoint uses for its return values, #rowsetSchema being only one of them. This website shows you how to add _all_ the Sharepoint namespaces to your XmlDocument so that you can use XPath whenever and wherever you'd like, including for GetListAndView() results.

    - disabling fonts within PublishingWebControls:RichHtmlField Hi there, In designing page layouts for a MOSS 2007 publishing site, I need to ensure the font used is one specified by my CSS - i.e. don't allow users entering content to change the font. I thought I'd accomplished this by setting AllowFonts to false within the PublishingWebControls:RichHtmlField's tag properties... but no. When pasting content into this control inline styles can still be applied. I've tried setting other properties to false as well (DisableCustomStyles, AllowTextMarkup, DisableBasicFormattingButtons) to no avail. It's not really acceptable to have to tell users to edit the HTML to remove the styles, or specify that they only type directly into the pop-up 'Edit HTML Source' box which removes formatting on pasting in content - they shouldn't have to be concerned about that. As I can't override inline styles with CSS, does anyone know if there's another way to disallow fonts, since it seems that AllowFonts=false just doesn't function correctly Thanks for any workarounds/advice, clover Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion Setting up meetings in a Sharepoint Calendar SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Replicator Problem . I added a replicator activity to my workflow, inside the replicator, I added a CallExternalMethod Activity which updates a List Item. There is no UntilCondition specified, which implies that the child activity should execute and the replicator should end after the child completes. But this does not work. The replicator does execute the CallExternalMethod activity. Any ideas I tried adding a sequence and the callexternalmethod inside the sequence with the proper OwnerActivityNAem(tht of the sequence). But still it does not execute the child activity. Any help is appreciated....

You can assign content types that inherit from the Document site content type only to libraries. Similarly, you can assign content types that inherit from the Item site content type only to lists. Content types that inherit from the Folder content type template can be assigned to either libraries or lists, because both can contain folders."

    - Add aspx page developed in Visual Studio to sharepoint This is real easy to do using a Feature: In SDK check out "How to: Provision a file" using <Module Path="SubDirInFeatureDirWhereFileResides" Url="WhereYouWantYourFilesToGo"><File Url="FileName.aspx" Type="Ghostable" /></Module> Adding sharepoint master is also simple. Just add a page directive in the top that 1) adds master and 2) adds SPDesigner support: <%@ Page MasterPageFile="~masterurl/default.master" meta:progid="SharePoint.WebPartPage.Document" %> Now you need to add all content placeholders defined in master (or master will fail) <asp:Content ID="title" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="PlaceHolderPageTitle"> Title goes here </asp:Content> <asp:Content ID="addhead" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead">  </asp:Content> <asp:Content runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="PlaceHolderMain"> Content goes here </asp:Content> Look in the SDK about adding a feature using STSADM.exe hth AndersR Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion Setting up meetings in a Sharepoint Calendar SharePoint Products and Technologies

Is it possible to create a meeting calendar item where other people are invited and can accept or decline, but without having to set up a document workspace for every meeting

andrew woodward

Unfortunately not, this would be covered by Exchange and using the Exchange web parts but oob the calendar control is faily limited in this regards.

Re: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion Setting up meetings in a Sharepoint Calendar

Ivan_Wilson

Hi Sean

That sounds like a custom workflow to me. It's not exactly out of the box, but the platform can support it. When you create a meeting item you could include a field for the list of people you are going to invite. Then you can start a workflow that e-mails each of them. A separate list could be used to track who has accepted/rejected.

Look at the workflow design features in SharePoint Designer and Visual Studio. As I said, it will take a bit of effort (days to weeks depending on your level of experience and the amount of functionality you need).
