    - Hide unapproved discussion list items. Hi there. I'm looking to use the out-of-the-box approval workflow, to allow the approval/rejection of discussion list items when a new item is added by a public user. The idea will be that a discussion list item will not be displayed to public users until it has been approved. How can this be achieved I'm guessing it will be some security configuration Could someone point me in the right direction with this Cheers. Jas.

    - Newbie: where store "AVI" files.....? I created some simple Sharepoint Services 3.0 AVI files for others to download and learn along with me. I planned to store them, naturally, in Sharepoint, in a document library. Is that a good place to store them (some said that Sharepoint is not optimized for videos and I should use "media server" instead. But, then we have information being scattered on different servers and not centralized. This was one of the very problems that Sharpeoint is trying to address.)

    - Problems after upgrade to MOSS 2007 Hi I setup a SharePoint 2003 a couple of years ago for a local company. Now I've been called back to fix some issues after they let a student upgrade to 2007 on his last afternoon. The main problems are: 1. Can't open the portal home page in SharePoint designer even after disabling all the web parts in the maintenance page. As a workaround I've created a new web part page to act as the home page. 2. Can no longer see lists on other sites in the Data Source Catalog. I can open other sites in SP Designer and see various XML files but not the lists and libraries. I had set up a reports list on one site and data view web part lists on some other sites. These no longer work. 3. "Your Links" web part. I can't find this in the gallery to put it on the new web part page mentioned in 1. Does it still exist Should it work on the WP page or does it need to be the portal page The WP page is in the top level portal site. Is there some new paradigm that I'm missing. Any help appreciated.

    - Cannot map drive to Sharepoint Document Library I get "System error 67 has occurred. The network name cannot be found" when trying to map a drive with this command: net use G: " http://teamserver/sites/teamsite/teamlibrary " The odd thing is that I am successfully able to map a drive letter to another instance of Sharepoint on the same server, for example: net use F: " http://teamserver2/sites/teamsite/teamlibrary " (successfully maps drive F: ) teamserver and teamserver2 are two instances of SharepointPortal Server accessed by host headers by clients.

    - How to reference the meeting WORKSPACE link field (on a custom DispForm.aspx page) Hi, I'm using a "custom list form" in Sharepoint Designer 2007 to display Calendar event data. Everything works fine, except that the value of "Workspace" field displays as either 0 or 1 (no meeting workspace vs. existent meeting workspace). How do I reference the Workspace URL itself (so that I can display it as a href for users to click on) So, in DispForm.aspx, I have: Code Block <xsl:value-of select="@WorkspaceLink" /> but this returns either "0" or "1". On the other hand, if I use: Code Block <xsl:value-of select="@Workspace" /> I get what seems to be the correct workspace url ONLY IN the SharepointDesigner's "design mode" screen (so it looks like it's previewing the right data), but when I open the page in the browser, the value is blank. No matter what, it seems that there are 2 fields keeping track of meeting workspace: a boolean to specify whether there IS or ISN'T a workspace, and a field storing the actual URL to the workspace itself. How do I reference the URL Thanks! Tag: SharePoint - Design and Customization Can't Access Data Source Library in SharePoint Designer SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Anon Access & Impersonation How to you grant read/write access to a list to an unauthenticated user We've got a portal that does no require the user to be authenticated in order to access some of the information. They want to have the user optionally complete a 'Rate This Page' type web part. The web part stores the responses in a custom list (portal level list). If I authenticate to the portal, the Rate This Page web part functions well. If I attempt to use the web part as an un-authenticated user it asks for a user name and password as it tries to start working with the list. I've been able to get impersonation to work; but I've only been able to change from one authenticated user to another authenticated user. Whenever I try to instantiate an Impersonator object as un-authenticated it asks for the username/password to instantiate that object. I'm using the Impersonator class from http://www.mariner-usa.com D.

    - Adding third front end web server Hi All - Quick question. We currently have a small sharepoint deployment in our testing environment with two front end web servers (load balanced) and one database server. My boss asked me a question that I could not fully address. After we move to production and if our load increases, how do you add another front end web server. I know you have to install Sharepoint (either complete or web server only) and join the farm. Is there anything else Will all my web applications be replicated over to the new server What is the site is load balanced Thanks in advance Brian Tag: SharePoint - Design and Customization Can't Access Data Source Library in SharePoint Designer SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Access Denied for all users on all pages I've got myself in quite the pickle here. When i browse to my primary sharepoint site, I get an "Access Denied" page regardless of the user (i.e. my acount is the site collection administrator and still cannot access). This is a sharepoint "Access Denied" page, not the default IIS. So IIS is allowing the authentication, however authentication is not passing through sharepoint. At this point I'm not even sure where to look to try and get more detailed information regarding the error. Neither the event log nor the IIS logs seem to give any useful information. A little history on how I got here : Sharepoint (MOSS 2007) was installed on our Domain Controller (not my doing). This is a small company and we only had a single server configuration. Sharepoint was installed to use SQL Server 2005. We were using a single site collection with a single web application. Everything was running off this one box, databse server, index server, web front end, etc. I decided to separate our DC and other services to follow a more desirable server architecture. So I staged a second box, promoted it to a DC, went through all the steps of moving DNS, GC, etc. At this point everything was still working as it should. I then demoted the sharepoint server to a member server. At this point sharepoint no longer worked (neither central administration nor our primary web application would work). I later learned it had some to do with the WSS groups existing in the domain since sharepoint was installed on a DC. After demotion the groups were no longer accessible. Creating the groups locally didn't solve everything, there also seemed to be other rights related issues, so I decided to do a reinstall. I uninstalled sharepoint server, leaving SQL server and the databases in tact. I then reinstalled Sharepoint (advanced install). During initial configuration I told it to connect to an existing server farm. Fed it the name for the database server (itself), selected the content database, fed it the user credentials for the AD user that has admin acces to the DB, and off I went. After the reinstall, I'm now able to access the Central administration site, but I cannot access my primary web application. This was when I started getting the "Error: Access Denied" page. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Tag: SharePoint - Design and Customization Can't Access Data Source Library in SharePoint Designer SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - How To Import/Export Wiki Pages from MediaWiki I'm looking for a way to import a MediaWiki site into a WSS 3.0's Wiki app. I've found two ways to export wiki data from MediaWiki (the wiki engine used by Wikipedia). There is the MediaWikiDump (a relatively simple XML format). And then there's InstaView, which I've customised to export into WSS' Wiki format. The latter does not offer version history, but that is not a killer problem in my case. So, now that I have my wiki data exportable, how do I import that into WSS 3.0's Wiki database content I've looked for some stored procedures that are specific to the wiki data, but I'm guessing a standardized document-oriented stored-proc is being used instead. What would you do at this point Are there any docs out there regarding the internals of the WSS 3.0 wiki data Is the doc-oriented proc (perhaps proc_AddDocument) the right way to go Where is the documentation on how to use proc_AddDocument This seems like a trivial problem that would be immensely helpful to all those "legacy" wiki-ers out there that want to transition to WSS 3.0 for their team collaboration.

    - Content Migration? I'm trying to find the best way to migrate an existing Oracle driven portal site to MOSS 2007. Most of the pages are static html, with some custom web parts that we will be building. The obvious yet tedious approach is to copy and paste the content page by page. Unfortunately, i'm looking at around 1,000 pages.

    - Best Practices for Permissions/Security So I'm getting ready to dive into SP and stop testing around with it. That said, the one thing I feel like I'm missing in all the reading I've done is a best practice for managing groups and users. My environment: MOSS 07/WSS 3.0 I've got what is essentially an intranet that I've given anonymous access to all internal users. The intranet will consist of Home, Human Resources, Accounting, etc. From there each business unit will have a home page that is a subsite of the intranet home (for example the IT Home Page). What I want to do is have that IT Home Page be publicly accessible but have some of the document libraries, lists (calendar, etc) to be secure and only accessible by the it_members group, with admin rights by the it manager. That is kind of what I'm looking to do. I'm open to comments and thoughts. Like I said I'm looking for best practice, so I might be way off.

    - Syntax of AvailableWebTemplates In customizing the internet publishing site definition, I noticed there is an option to limit the available template(s) for any subsites that are created in a site collection. The "AvailableWebTemplates" is what does it. By example, I understand how to limit it to only ONE template -- see below. I am guessing the "*-" means remove all templates and the subsequent text is of the form <ConfigurationName>#<ConfigurationID>.  < Feature ID = " 22A9EF51-737B-4ff2-9346-694633FE4416 " >  < Properties xmlns = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/ " > < Property Key = " ChromeMasterUrl " Value = " ~SiteCollection/_catalogs/masterpage/mycustom.master " /> < Property Key = " WelcomePageUrl " Value = " $Resources:cmscore,List_Pages_UrlName;/default.aspx " /> < Property Key = " PagesListUrl " Value = "" /> < Property Key = " AvailableWebTemplates " Value = " *-MyTemplateName#1 " /> < Property Key = " AvailablePageLayouts " Value = "" /> < Property Key = " AlternateCssUrl " Value = "" /> < Property Key = " SimplePublishing " Value = " false " /> </ Properties > </ Feature > However, I have not been able to figure out how to limit it to TWO or more templates. I have tried all sorts of combinations and delimiters to no avail. Some help on the syntax for TWO or more templates would be MUCH appreciated.

    - Accessing Custom Properties for Lists in Web Part I have been able to successfully create a Picture Library, complete with custom columns, and then access these custom columns in code (in a Web Part). However, when trying to do the same with a List, I get exceptions attempting to access the Title field and also no Properties are present in the ListItems: I have setup a standard List with several custom columns and ensured everything I've added to the List has these fields filled in. The code is: SPList list = web.Lists[_docLibId]; if (list.BaseType == SPBaseType .GenericList) { _currentList = list as SPList ; SPListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(_currentView); int i = 1; foreach ( SPListItem li in items) { Cell12.Text = li.Title Cell11.Text = li.Properties[ "Text" ].ToString(); } li.title throws exception, as does the call to li.Properties["Text"]. A look while debugging shows in fact there are no properties at all in the li object and also the Title field throws an exception as shown here. li ListItems: {Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItemCollection} Name: 'li.Name' threw an exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' Properties: Count = 0 Title: 'li.Title' threw an exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' Does anyone have any clues about this one Tag: SharePoint - Design and Customization Can't Access Data Source Library in SharePoint Designer SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Need to share a documents library I want to use the Documents Center/Documents library as the main dump for documents on my intranet. I set up the library the way I wanted, created columns, views, etc., and saved it as a template. I created a subsite called Benefits. I created a documents library within Benefits based on the main document library template, checked "include content". Since i had made custom columns for Department and Group, I was able to apply a filter whereas only items with group=benefits displayed. So, this all worked great. I had a sep. document library, populated by a master document library, with only the files for that site displaying. The problem is, if I add an item to the benefits library, it only adds the item to that library. I need it so that I truly have one master document library that I can use to source multiple document libraries in subsites, and have it so i can add items in those subsites, add items in the master, and they all are updated.

    - Problem with setting a fixed height for a webpart - list Hi, I have a problem in my WSS 3.0 site. On a standard-site I want to set the height of a webpart with a ordinary list to be fixed, ( for example height 300px) However if the list contains more information it floats out and presses the webpart under (in the same webpartzone) out of the page. I want the upper webpart to overflow so that it will get a scrolling function instead of floating out. I have tried to set the height in the webpartsettings on the site where you can set the height with no result. I have tried to edit the webpartzone with setting the heigth to 300px and overflow to auto. Still no result. It continues to float out... Am I doing something genarally wrong here If anyone could give me any advice, I would be most grateful.

I am an administrator for a site collection as well as for an individual site that I want to modify with SharePoint Designer.

When I open the site in SharePoint Designer, the Data Source Library is not available for me to interact with. It has the following all grayed out - +Current Site.

It will not allow me to access the Lists within SharePoint to modify views and create data form webparts.

Anyone else experienced this I am at a loss, as I have top-level privileges for the site I am trying to modify, as well as the site collection as a whole.

It turned out that I was not a site collection administrator when I double-checked the permissions with our site administrator. (Went to Site Settings > Users and Permissions > Site Collection Administrators)

After I was added as a site collection administrator at the top level site, I was able to access the data source library for the site I wanted to work in with SPD.

Steve Rose

I have the same problem. Since I am designing sites that will be hosted by a big company on a shared server, I do not have Site Collection Admin priv, and never will - does that mean I am SOL Sob!

Re: SharePoint - Design and Customization Can't Access Data Source Library in SharePoint Designer

SM_SSRS

There may be another way. In SPD with the site open, navigate to _catalogs/fpdatasources. Right-click on fpdatasources and click on the Security tab. Click "Manage permissions using the browser." Add the appropriate permissions. You may have to refresh or restart SPD.

Hope this helps!
