    - Passing a Parameter to a web part Title URL I don't believe that I can use the QueryString filter part. I'm not trying to filter the content of a webpart. These are Business Data Related Lists. They are getting information from a Business Data Item Builder to display the appropriate content. I'm trying to make the Title bar of the list a hyperlink. That hyperlink URL needs to have some parameters passed via the QueryString. The values of those parameters come from the URL of the page the Related List sits on. For example: http://sharepointSite/BDC/RelatedList1.aspx id=333 On RelatedList1.aspx I have a Business Data Item Builder and a Business Data Related List. The Item Builder sends the parameter to the Related List. The Related list shows records in pages of 5. When a user clicks on the Title of the Related List, they should be taken to a new page (that displays a larger list -- more records, additional columns, etc). The URL of that page is http://sharepointSite/BDC/FullList1.aspx id=333 I need to be able to set the TitleURL property of the web part to a URL that contains the id parameter in the query string.

    - Is it possible to submit data to a SharePoint-List??? This is not the solution I had in mind, but it will work for me. This way I'm also able to use a single InfoPath Form to fillout multiple fields in different SharePoint-Lists. So I guess the answer to my question is that it's not possible to submit data directly to a SharePoint-List Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion Planning single or multiple farms SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - difference between search and query server? Thanks so much for replying. OK, This explains Query servers very easily. But then again what is a difference between Search and Indexing Server because as I understand you can only have one Indexer per SSP as well. And as you say that a Search Server is a server that does the grunt work of indexing content than what is the Index Server do a bit confusing or is it like search server aka index server, is it like that Anyways, Thanks so much, you were very helpful.

    - Problem with setting a fixed height for a webpart - list Hi again, It's the listview webpart I am using. Have tried everything I can but it does't work with that webpart. When use the page viewer webpart it works as it should... Although that webpart will not work for my customer. Does anyone have an Idea of how I could get around this problem. What I want to do is to use two different listview webparts in the left column. Toghether the two of them are supposed to fill out 100% of the page. If there are more information in each of the list there should be a scroll within the list/webpart and not for the whole page.

    - Problem while accessing text document in notepad from SharePoint server located on port other than 80 MatthewMcD, thanks for your reply. I have tried to open the path as you have mentioned \\sharepoint-serv:26791\sites\mysite\SharePoint%20Doc.txt But still it's not working. I can access SharePoint document on port other than 80 in MS Word. But in my case, I can not use MS Word to open the document. Reason is I want to access SharePoint document in my C# application. For that I have to use Open File Dialog box and Save File Dialog box to select the the document and save the newly created document on the SharePoint server. Using MS Word dialog box, I can open the document successfully in my application. 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 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. So I have preferred to use Standard dot net dialog boxes (Which are similar as dialog boxes used in notepad) Standard dot net dialog boxes works finely for with filters but has some problems with accessing SharePoint documents on port other than 80. I am accessing MS Word dialog box using Word.Application in C# (com - Word 11.0 library). If we can pass filters to MS Word Save File dialog box, then also my problem can be solved. Please send me your remarks. Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion Planning single or multiple farms SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - How to rename a document during checkin to enforce rules? My needs are pretty much alike you example. I've solved this in almost the same way you explained. First, you have too do this when the file is added, that is use the EventReciever: ItemAdded. Second, when you add a file, the filename actually is in the list. Here is a listing where I rename a added file with a static prefix and the ID number of the list: namespace ChangeName { public class ChangeNameHandler : SPItemEventReceiver { public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties) { DisableEventFiring(); base.ItemAdded(properties); SPListItem li = properties.ListItem; int listID = li.ID; li["Name"] = "PREFIX" + listID.ToString(); li.Update(); } } } Good luck bro!

    - Document Workspaces as Web Part I want to be able to reference the workspace site in a web part that would appear on the home page. Something that would show perhaps the tasks that are due and by who for that particular project or something like that. We are a medium landscape contractor and are looking to use the document workspaces as a sort of project management tool. Perhaps I am wanting something not possible/practical. I know I can add a link, but I want something a little more interactive between the parent site and the child site.

    - DOCTYPE I really don't want to slap the whole master page into compliancy - as even after doing this every time a new page is created, it's custom content in the placeholders will have non compliant code. Also we don't want to edit it too far from the default for the sake of maintainability. This is the reason for using Ajax - managed code meaning that many resources on the internet should we need to tweak it down the line. Also - the code in the WebParts aren't XHTML compliant so giving them HTML doctypes will fry the lot. But it may prove to be better than nothing. Do you know what the web.config attribute is so that I can set it correctly Regards Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion Planning single or multiple farms SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Upgrade to WSS3 by migrating content database failed Sorry I am not very clear about the document. The doc said I have to create a Web appl for each virtual server before doing the database migrate. Is your command for create empty web appl or run it *after* I created a web app The problem is I dont know how to create a *empty* web appl When I create a web appl it ask me to specify the content database server and name, so I typed the database I just restored from WSS2, after doing that I saw ithe database is upgraded (table name changed) , however it throw 404 error when I browse the site root. In the second shoot, I removed all the thing (web appl, database) and try again. This time I create a web appl and use the default name as the content database. It create a site collection in root / for me. Then I use your command to add the database I just restored from WSS2, again I saw the database is upgrade but now I have 2 content db. I removed the previous one however it still have 404 error. Have anyone success with the upgrade Help appreciate Jason Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion Planning single or multiple farms SharePoint Products and Technologies

    - Announcements across sites A few options.. one, take a look at the content query webpart. I believe that will do exactly what you want. There are some good blog entries on how to use it. If that doesn't work for you, smiling goat as an RSS reader that doesn't require kerberos. Install that and use that.. but the content query webpart is what you really want.

    - Site Template Query You should be able to expand the possible choices by activating additional features on the site collection. Go to site settings => modify all site settings and then under site collection administration choose "site collection features". I believe that by default the "Office SharePoint Server Standard Site Collection features" are deactivated by default. If you turn them on, you should be able to create subsites with teamsite template and so on. Hope that helps Regards Rene Tag: SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion Planning single or multiple farms SharePoint Products and Technologies

Hello

Does the size of a SharePoint environment (more than 20'000 Users, a lot of sites) has an influence to the decision if the farm has to be built as a single oder multi farm environment.

I already know the TechNet articles with design guidlines for SharePoint Farms with 2007. I put this question here in to get some practice information from the real world :-)

Kind Regards,

Juerg

The size of the sharepoint environment (users & no of sites) play an important factor in choosing the single / multple server farms
