    - Template Libraries Hi, I am trying to create a document library full of Word Templates. Uploading isn't the problem, the problem is when it is opened, either by clicking on the Word Template or opening through "Edit in Microsoft Word", it opens as a .dot and not a .doc. I was wondering if anyone has any clue as to how I can store my Word templates on SharePoint and have them open as a document and not a template like the would if you opened the template from a hard drive or network drive. Thanks! Tag: Area Customization Tag: 59197

    - Check-in/out problem We have a portal site using the versioning feature in a document library, but there seems to be a problem whereby a document that is checked out by one user, can be checked back in by another user. This makes the document available for others to check out an dedit, and renders the first user's version (the original document checked out) unable to be checked back in. Is this standard operation for SPS's check-in/out function, or is there a setting to adjust the permissions to disallow this ability? i would thin kthat allowing another user (non-administrator) to check in another user's document would defeat the purpose of versioning. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you. Tag: Area Customization Tag: 59195

    - Programmatically reset Users Role for an "Expired" Site? Hi, I have a site ("Applications") that lets nominated "reviewers" contribute to lists within the site until a certain "expiry date". When the expiry date passes, a WinService that I am writing will change all the "reviewers" permissions for the site from "Contributor" to "Reader". My understanding is that all "reviewers" will no longer be able to add/edit/delete their contributions to the various lists/webparts on the "Applications" site, but will still be able to View them... which is what I need. I seem to be unable to change the "reviewers" permissions without getting an "Access is Denied" exception being thrown... yet I am logged on as the SPS Administrator?! The two code snippets that I have tried to change a users permissions are: public static void AssignReadOnlyAccess(SPUser user, SPWeb web) { SPUserCollection users = web.Users; SPMember member = users[user.LoginName]; web.Permissions[member].PermissionMask = SPRights.ViewPages | SPRights.ViewListItems; } AND/OR public static void AssignReadOnlyAccess(SPUser user, SPWeb web) { // Remove the reviewer from the Contributor Site Group SPUser currentUser = web.Users[user.LoginName]; SPRole role = web.Roles["Contributor"]; SPUserCollection webUsers = role.Users; role.RemoveUser(currentUser); role = web.Roles["Reader"]; role.AddUser(currentUser); } Is anyone able to point me in the right direction please? I am not sure what I am doing wrong?? Thanks in advance! Simon Tag: Area Customization Tag: 59193

    - mapping one crawled content property to another property Hi, We are having an issue mapping a property called Picture URL in the name space: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:sharepoint:portal:profile to the property called Picture URL in name space: urn:schemas.microsoft.com:fulltextqueryinfo It seems that this mapping was set up when the portal was installed, but the mapping has now been lost and is affecting a custom people finder application which uses this for photographs However when we try to go back into Site Settings - Manage properties of crawled content we find that the option to "map to another property" is greyed out for the Picture URL property under portal:profile Can anyone advise how we can re-map this property without a portal rebuild?!

    - How to get top-level site collections names programmatically Hi everybody, I'd be glad if someone could solve my problem. I need to get the names of the top level site collections names; suppose I've created the managed paths "path1/" and "path2/", I'd like to get programmatically the array "sites","path1","path2", as it is when creating a new site: SharePoint shows a combobox with the top level site collection names, followed by "/" and the textbox where you put the name. The collection of SPSites returned by the SPVirtualServer object returns all the sites below these collections, included the ones under "personal" and itn't really what I need. I've looked around for it, without success. Thanx a lot in advance, Paolo Tag: Area Customization Tag: 59186

    - How do I create a phone list from Active Directory? The business problem: I have created a list that contains 3 columns: Subject, Dept, and Contact. Users pull up this list to find out who to contact in regards to a given subject, such as Travel Info. The contact is a look-up field which lists the name of the contact. The name then links to their MySite page and thus the user can then see the contact persons info, such as phone number. The question: Management wants to be able to print this list with the contact persons phone number showing. How can I display/print the phone number (from AD) for each contact person?

    - Sharepoint webpart needs variable number of LinkButton controls I am currently working on a webpart that has Single Sign-On functionality. That is, it will display a list of application icons/names as hyperlinks. This is a dynamic list, based on the logged-in user, and the mapping of applications to users is managed in a separate database table. When the user clicks on an application icon (or link), the webpart must set the credentials of the application to some preset value and then launch the application. So I will be using the Credentials.setCredentials(int, string, string[]) call. However this call yields an exception, and I checked on the Internet and discovered that it needs to operate in conjunction with an AddCanary(this) call prior to the setCredentials call. I am developing the webpart in C#. Since there are a variable number of applications in the webpart, how do I declare, instantiate and set up child controls (possibly LinkButton) with appropriate event handlers dynamically? But I am unable to think of a way to create these controls dynamically and wire them to appropriate event handlers. More so, the latter, since I can atleast instantiate the LinkButton instances by querying the database in the CreateChildControls method and finding out how many application icons the user must receive, and instantiate them right away.

    - No access to Sharepoint Central Administration Hi there I'm trying to install WSS (for use with BizTalk2004 BAS etc). I have installed it using the Server Farm option (as SQL server is on another box). When I try to access the SharePoint Central Administration page I get the "Service Unavailable" error. I have followed all the usual suggestions of creating a domain user and making it a member of the IIS_WPG and STS_WPG local groups and resetting the password, reassigning this as the identity for the StsAdminAppPool and running iisreset - with no luck. The only way I've managed to get past the Service Unavailable error is by making the user a member of the local administrators group - which I do not like. Anyone know of a more secure approach???? Also, now Iâ??ve temporarily got past the Service Unavailable error. It wonâ??t let me log on to the WSS Central Admin site because the login will not recognize any user/password combinations I try. Any assistance will be very much appreciated. Regards Tim Tag: Area Customization Tag: 59139

    - Configure connection to portal site site attribute I'm in the process of migrating Windows Sharepoint Services (WSS) sites to Sharepoint Portal Server (SPS) and with weeks of figuring out how-to do this everything is going smoothly. I only one answer that's hasn't been answered at this point. In SPS there is an option to "Configure connection to portal site" on each of the newly created sites \ webs, is there an argument in stsadm I can use to set this property to which I can script to modify all sites or are the settings stored in the database somewhere that I can insert. Bottom line is we have several hundred sites and I would hate to have to manually go into each site and make the adjustment... :-) Any help would be greatly appreciated Chris Tag: Area Customization Tag: 59088

    - Re-sizing input list forms I have created my own cusomlist, and customized it by editing the Editform.aspx page. I have the page looking great and it works great but I want to change the size of the textbox. unlike on the view/display page when I add the list field into a layer it doesn't resize to the layer size. Also when I view the source of the page there is no CSS that relate to the size of the text box. How can I resize the width of textbox on the display and edit pages? thanks ny Tag: Area Customization Tag: 59085

    - Change web part with the changes on sharepoint portal Is it possible to generate a event when I add a new site to the portal, which in turn triggers a list event in a web part. For example, I have a web part with all the sites a links on it, now when I add a new site, I want that to add a link to that site on my web part also. Is it possible or is it too much to ask. Thanking you, Andy Tag: Area Customization Tag: 59079

When you create a new area where does sharepoint grab the default.aspx
page from? I would like to customize this page.

Thanks

That all depends on the template in question. All the folders are located
at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\60\TEMPLATE\1033

and this list tells you what the folders are for:

MPS Multi-page Team Site
SPS Portal Home
SPSBWEB SSPS BucketWeb Template
SPSCOMMU Community area template
SPSMSITE SPS MySite
SPSNEWS News area template
SPSNHOME News home area template
SPSPERS SPS Personal Space (not sure how this is different than
MySite)
SPSSITES Site Directory area template
SPSTOC Contents area template
SPSTOPIC Topic area template
STS Has all the other WSS Site templates other than what are in MPS.

These definitions come from the WEBTEMP.XML and WEBTEMPSPS.XML files located
in the XML folder in the folder listed above. For the most part you will
modify the "default.aspx" page to change the look and feel of the page
(after making a backup copy of course ;)
