    - Document Library Web Part -> link to DispForm.aspx Hi there. I'm trying to solve a problem that appeared when I tried to create a simple page with the list of documents from my document library. I need Title field displayed as a hyperlink to DispForm.aspx, not to Document itself, and not to a dropdown menu with Edit option. The reason of this requirement is that we don't like to allow users to download document w/o reading metadata assosiated with it. On the other hand, ordinary user must not see Edit links in menu, because we don't want to tempt them to try edit document at all. Of course, I can customize the data view in Sharepoint Designer - go to Code View and manually change <xsl:value-of select="@FileRef "/> to something like ..../dispform.aspx ID=<xsl:value-of select="@ID"/ >. But this ways seems to mee a bit ugly and I don't like to repeat this for each and other document library. Is there any elegant way to solve the problem Thanks.

    - MOSS - "File Not Found" after creating with site template (stp) I have a site templates (stp) file I saved off and applied when creating a site. It all appears to have been created sucessfully, Then I noticed on all the lists, doc libs, discussion boards, etc on the site, I click on them and get a MOSS (not an http 404) File Not Found error. It is attempting to load the view on "lists/<listname>/allitems.aspx as I would expect. But it gets this error. I checked, the library(s) are there and configured properly. I have seen this happen a while back and it mysteriously cleared itself up after a day or 2 . There is absolutely nothing in the event log about it. MOSS is acting like everything is hunky dory. Has anyone seen this with their site templates Have you been able to get by it Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion dispersed sites - crawl with WSS SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Active directory Hi Gary, As far as i understand, single sign on provided by Sharepoint is for getting data from various LOB systems using BDC.In this, an userid/password of that particular system is preconfigured. Single sign on in MOSS don't have a mapping table by which we can map users (per user on one to one relatoin basis)of other website to sharepoint website(that too two way i.e. users of one website can go to sharepoint website and vice versa without prompted for a userid/password). As i wrote in my earlier post, my problem is some what different. I hereby request you ot go through my earlier post in the same thread and suggest as what would be the best approach for this. If my understanding about "single sign on" provided by Moss is wrong ,please let me know. Cheers Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion dispersed sites - crawl with WSS SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Immediate Alerts Not Running I have a medium server farm with two front end web servers. I'm a bit perplexed about a problem I've had with one of the servers. When I go to Central Administration > Operations > Timer Job Status I see that the Immediate Alerts service has failed with a status date of 10/9/2007. However, the other web server shows the status updating every 5 minutes as expected. I have disabled and reenabled alerts for the servers, both in Applications and using the stsadm command line tool. I have also changed the frequency of the alerts and even attempted to update the alert templates. I have restarted the server and I still get no update to the status date. It seems there is nothing that will tell the first server to kick off and retry running the timer job. Has anyone experience this and is there a way to instruct a specific server in the farm to run a timer job Thanks!

    - Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'AllUserData_Url' on upgrade from wss2 to wss3 In that case the Migration progress is already been done with error. How can I continue running the migration from that point BTW, I forgot to tell you that I'm using Database Migration approach which starting with all of these steps: 1. Prescan the SPS 2003 then Backup using SPS Backup/Restore Tools 2. Moving the whole set of backup to a new MOSS 2007 server then restore it on SQL Server Manually 3. Create a New Webapp with dummy database e.g. http://sharepoint with database SharePoint_DUMMY 4. Then run STSADM to delete Content Database with this " stsadm –o deletecontentdb –url http://sharepoint –databasename SharePoint_DUMMY" 5. And then reattach New Content Database (the old database_SITE from SPS 2003) with " stsadm –o addcontentdb –url http://sharepoint –databasename SharePoint_WSS_CONTENT " Here is where the error comes: 'Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'AllUserData_Url'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'AllUserData'.' Normally this is where I'm back to Step 4. and starting to delete and reattach it again with Step 5. If you mention that I can fixed it by delete a fault record (at this point the Step 5 is already complete with the error), can I repeat the step 5. without trying step 4. Anyway, Thank you very much for give me a very good and fast responsed, Gonzalo Appreciate your help very much Sungsit Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion dispersed sites - crawl with WSS SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - LDAP Membership Provider with SSL Yeah, unfortunately I got the same answer so I had to roll my own membership and role provider, which is pretty easy once you know how to do it. Makes me wonder though if it was that easy for me should have been easier for MS to role that capability into their own provider. That little caveat would have actually LOST them some SharePoint contracts had it been known up front.

    - Search Web Service : System.ArgumentNullException KI, The XML is: private static string prepareWordQuery(string wordQuery) { string query = "<QueryPacket xmlns='urn:Microsoft.Search.Query'> " + "<Query>" + "<QueryId />" + "<SupportedFormats>" + "<Format revision='3'>" + "urn:Microsoft.Search.Response.Document: Document" + "</Format>" + "</SupportedFormats>" + "<Context>" + "<QueryText language='ES' type='STRING'>" + wordQuery + "</QueryText>" + "</Context>" + "</Query>" + "</QueryPacket>"; return query; } Note that this is the XML found in the Microsoft page that explains how to use the QueryService. For MOSS see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms497054.aspx and for Services 3.0 see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms774561.aspx Complementing my previous post, you have to be careful adding the Web Service Reference in Visual Studio 2005. When you use Sharepoint Services 3.0 the is no much problem but when using MOSS 2007 with a personalized web application configuration (creation of new web application in other ports than 80) you must add the Web Reference using WSDL word, for example: http://sharepointserver:1311/portals/principal/_vti_bin/search.asmx WSDL Another thing to have in mind is that you must choose which service you want to use (choosing between spsearch.asmx or search.asmx). Although the both have the QueryService Object and in design time you would have a successful compilation, in execution time you will have a soap exception. Hope this helps KI.

    - Templates Missing from Publishing Site This may be a simple fix but I am using a publishing site for an Intranet site. Everything seems to be working just fine, I can add sites to it for various departments etc., no problem. Now I want to add another site using the Document Center template but I can't because that template is not available, actually there are 4 templates missing frorm the Enterprise tab, all other templates are there in all other tabs. I can create a site from Admin using the Team Site template and from that site I can get access to all templates. Anyone get this Thanks!

    - SharePoint Designer performance is poor at best Yes yes yes --- SPD is a PIG - i work with what I would call small - to medium size lists (appx 200-300 items in each) and have custom web part pages where i display (filtered) data from 2-3 of such lists the page is almost unworkable when opened in SPD "design" mode. When I add simple text every key type takes 1-2 seconds and CPU goes to 90% on my 2 GB RAM 2 Ghz Duo machine! I was nable to find any official acknowledgement of this problem. I also tried this on 2-3 different but powerfull machines and found the same results. I also tried editing pages from 2 or so different sharepoint servers and it is consistently slow. I am at a point i gave up doing any development on WSS as it is impossible with SPD and do not want to mess with code.... On top of this every time page which has DataView web parts in it opens in design view it displays ALL items in the list even when i set the "Data View Preview" option to limit to 1 item (for previewing) only... Next time i open this page it defaults to ALL items again and i have to manually set these preview settings to 1 item, which takes literally 2-3 minutes waiting for the page to refresh. I just do not see how anyone can edit pages which contain DataView parts with lists which have 100+ items in them without going nuts.

    - Show random user in webpart I had a situation where i wanted to select random records out of a list. I used a dataviewwebpart to get the data and edited the xsl to get random results. Your steps actually helped me with this proces. I did the following: 1. create a dataviewwebpart 2. connect to a list 3. make a variable that counts the rows 4. make a variable that does select="ddwrt:Random(1,$CountRows)" 5. then give the FirstRow and LastRow the select value of the variable name in step 4. This worked for me without making an whole new webpart Greetz Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion dispersed sites - crawl with WSS SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Office Designer and VS interoperability Hi all, I have these queries to which i havnt found answers, id be glad if anyone can give me some idea. 1. If a worklow is developed in Visual Studio 2007 and deployed in sharepoint server, can a user then use office designer to make some changes to it. If yes how would one cope up with the changes to be done in code 2. When a workflow is created by office designer, can we control it programmatically somehow in VS (Like in documentum you create a template workflow and deploy it on server, then from code you instantiate that workflow , add performers etc and do things dynamically) 3. If workflow is designed using office designer then events like OnWorkflowActivated,CreateTask are catchable in our code in VS or are we in control of that workflow in VS Thanks.

    - Workflows and Forms Authentication Hello, I'm using Windows SharePoint Services 3 and SharePoint designer 2007. I've set up forms authentication and it works fine however, custom workflows fail now when attempting to set the "assigned to" field when creating a new task. For example, a user fills out a custom list and one of the fields is a person or group. When the user selects a person and submits the form it should create a new task and assign it to the person selected in the previous step. The error logged in the workflow history is "unexpected error". If I remove the "assigned to" field from the workflow then it completes successfully. Here is the entry from the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12 log: System.Workflow.Runtime.Hosting.PersistenceException: Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only. ---> Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80020005): Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only. at.... I've confirmed that this problem only occurs when trying to assign the task to a person within the custom membership provider. If I modify the workflow to assign the task to a local user then it works fine. Additionally, if I pass the value to a single line text field then the workflow will complete and set the value to membershipprovider:[USER] where [USER] is the username of the correct person. If I edit the newly created task and set the Assigned to field to membershipprovider:[USER] it will assign the task to the correct person. I googled the error and there was a hotfix released for wss2 that was then distributed with wss sp2. Perhaps the error has been reintroduced in wss3. I downloaded and installed all available patches from MS with no change. Any help is greatly appreciated (please don't bash me for cross posting - the other post has gotten stale with no answer).

    - MOSS BDC Search for CSTAR --> MOSS Medium server Farm setup issue.... Hi! I need help to trouble shoot MOSS server farm setup issue... Good news MOSS BDC Search In dev/test environment Search is working fine for following two scenarios 1. Single server farm (SQL/Index/Query hosted on one server) 2. Two server farm a. One dedicated MOSS SQL Server b. And One Application Server (both Index and Query Role) We are trying to setup production like MOSS Farm environment for search in test. We have need help to trouble shoot our setup. Bad News Have setup issue when we go with Dedicated Index server and separate Query server More details…. Our MOSS Search topology follows the typical medium farm recommendation ( 5 server farm) a 2 WFE/Query servers a 1 dedicated Index server a 2 SQL servers Related tech net link for MOSS topology recommendation ( http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/f/ en-us/library/b474b3dd-b1e3-4d3e-a83c-bc4a6ec4e0ef1033.mspx ) We are having setup issue in our test environment where we have e One MOSS Sql Server e One dedicated Index Server e One Query server Our BDC catalog crawl is working fine. CSTAR DB Data is getting crawled and crawl log shows the data (can see it profile page) . Problem is the BDC Catalog indexes are not getting propagated to query server and therefore we are not seeing search results when we execute search query on dedicated query server. I need some help to trouble shoot this setup. Additional info CSTAR web application queries MOSS query web service QuereEx web method ( http://server/_vti_bin/Search.asmx ) to retrieve search results PS: Looking for someone who has setup a farm with atleast one dedicated index server and one dedicated Query server for search.

    - Questiong about Web parts referencing an assembly According to what you've listed above, your assembly is compiled and installed into the GAC as myassembly.assembly.dll , and your webpart is compiled into myassembly.webpart.dll . Furthermore, your WebPart is has an fully-qualified name of myassembly.webpart.webpart1 (or something like that). And those strings match right down to the appropriate case. If any of those things are not true, then you want to make corresponding changes. Right now, I suspect that you've given the full class name of the Web Part instead of just the fully qualified namespace in the "Namespace" attribute. Also, you want to make sure that the "Copy Local" attribute of the reference to myassembly.assembly.dll is set to "false" in the original web part project, ensuring that the web part does pick up its reference from the GAC. And it's a minor nit to pick, but you should set your fully qualified reference to PublicKeyToken (note the capitalized "K") to be consistent with SharePoint's methodology. It won't fix your problem, but it doesn't hurt to fix it, either. Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion dispersed sites - crawl with WSS SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - how to setup trusted connection to a sharepoint list through Access DB Hello, I have a package that reads data from a SharePoint list through an Access database using linked tables. Package is using an OLE DB connection to connect to access and everything works fine except that package keeps asking for username and password to connect to the sharepoint list. I played with the security settings in the OLE DB connection but that didn't help. Is there any way to configure the connection so that it uses windows authentication If I a open the access database directly in access, it doesn't require any username or password to view the data from sharepoint list.

    - Hiding sign in control from anonymous users Hi phydroxide, I needed the ability to present some users with a sign in link and to hide it from others on one master page - i.e. I have two different entry points to the same content, one for visitors to the website and one for content managers of the website. I had seen Matthew's blog but didn't want to have to direct the content managers to a system page in order to log in (seems like a bit of an unecessary workaround for an end user to have to do), I wanted them to be able to log in from pages on the website.

Instead of spending money on bandwidth, we had an idea to disperse our WSS servers.
So, we would have a central site with regional sites.
Assume in this example, site A, B, and the central site.
The central site hosts the portal functionality and in WSS the crawling of regional sites only.

Is it possible to have everyone at each of the regional sites using one front end or do they each have to have their own front end
If someone from site B wants to collaborate with someone from site A, how do they do this
I didn't think it could be done with regional sites or is there some way WSS can index the documents from a regional site
If so, would the document be editable

Thanks

I am not 100% sure, but I believe you can do this in MOSS 2007 and not WSS 3. The difference I believe between MOSS and WSS is that MOSS has the ability to connect various WSS sites that are not on the same server and not usually linked together. If you had MOSS, then you could crawl all the sites from a central area. They should be able to edit documents on each site as long as they have permissions to the document or document library.
