News Subarea won't display in SubArea
Hi all, I'm an experienced .NET programmer, but I am a novice SharePoint user (SharePoint Portal 2003). I created a Portal a while ago and I wanted to put the News Web Part in a Subarea - let's call this Subarea "TestArea". So I went to the Subarea, added the "News" Web Part and it said
There are no listings to display
However, in the "Home" area I still have the "News" Web Part and it still correctly displays the News items in the News Subarea
So my first attempt to resolve the problem was to move the News Subarea which is by default is a top level Subarea under the TestArea Subarea (using "Manage Portal Site"). This did not fix the problem
So then I created a new "News" Subarea at the top level under Home and added a couple of news items - this neither affected the News displayed in the News Web Part in the Home area or the TestArea Subarea. Thus, this did not fix the problem
Then I tried changing EVERY option in the "modify shared Web Part" panel (for the News Web Part in the TestArea Subarea) to be the same as the News Web Part in the Home area. This did not fix the problem. However, now when you click on the "News" title for the "News" Web Part on the TestArea Subarea - it does link correctly to the original News Subarea (thanks to changing the "Detail Link" under Advanced)
I don't really know what else to try to get the News in the TestArea to display the News items in the original News Subarea - or any News Subarea for that matter
Any suggestions are welcome

Simple question about Links webpart
Hi,
I am using SharePoint Portal Server 2003.
I have included a web park Links that comes with
SharePoint on the page and then I added the links to it. I
named this linked web part as "Product Links". Now I
wanted to create smiliar link web part named "General".
But every time I drag the Links component on the web page,
I get an exact copy of "Product Links" web part which I
already have on the page. Any link webpart I try to
create seems to be linked to "Product Links". If I delete
a link from General then it also disappears from Product
Links.
What am I doing wrong? what I need to do to have two links
web parts each one showing different links.
Thanks

Move imported document libraries
I've imported all of my documents from SPSv1 into SPSv2 and they are all at
the root of the site content.
I've used the "Select a portal are for this document library" and selected a
Topic and Area area for it but it doesn't show up when I try to save a
document from Word 2003 and open up these areas. These areas only have the
default doc library that's created when I created the topic and area.
How do I move these document library?
Should I place them in both an Area (uising the areas template) and a Topic
(using the topic template)?
Thanks for any help and/or input.

Is there a way to turn off URL validaty checking?
I have a need to use the link web parts and add
notes://server/database type url's. These work fine on
other web pages we have. However, sharepoint will not
even let me enter them. I get Invalid URL value ; A URL
field contains invalid data. Please check the value and
try again.
I know it's probably unstandard but I would like to
either allow notes:// type URLS in the links web part or
disable the code that checks to make sure it's a valid
URL.
Any ideas? Thanks! Tag: My Site Tag: 39521

Content Source Exclusions SPS2001
Is there a way to exclude all folders with a particular name, without having
to exlude them individually?
We "publish" external docs in PDF format, but they may originate as mutliple

them for version control.
i.e. http:\server\...\user manual\_source

Portal change management
We currently use Sun Portal Server 6.0 as our primary portal and needed to write custom plugins for the Apache Maven tool in order to minimize the number of deployment steps that our change management group needed to perform. I would rather not have to go through all that pain again. Is there a tool(s) that simplifies the process of deploying web parts, templates, config documents, images, makes modifications to runtime configuration parameters?
How are other groups managing the change management process of moving your code from development --> integration/test --> production. We as developers in our group have no more than read access to the integration and production enviroments so we need document the steps needed for each change to the environments. Also we would like to build our web parts from source code do any tools allow you to check out the source code from say CVS and build a web part using scripts

Replicate a wss site through a firewall
Hi!
I'm planing a topology consisting of WSS sites integrated
with a standard MCMS outside a firewall, and a Portal
Server 2003 with couterpart sites integrated with an
enterprise MCMS within the firewall. Replicating content
in MCMS is no problem and one of the ideas, outside the
firewall, is to use MCMS as a content feeder to a number
of webparts I developed.
Ok, continously replicating the MCMS content presents not
much of a problem, but the WSS site(s) must also be able
to be replicated from its counterpart(s) withing the
firewall.

Document Library permissions override Site group permissions
Hello,
I created a new Site group that's similar to the "Contributor" group,
except that the members of this group don't have the "delete document"
permission.
I added this new Site group to the site. But when I create a new
Document Library, and add this Site group (called "Editors"), I have
to choose additional permissions like "view items" or "view, edit,
delete items;". These permissions override the permissions I gave to
the Editors group.
Is there a way where I don't have to set these extra permissions that
override the site group permissions? It's important that these editors
don't have the delete permission.

Why files are read only?
I have SBS2003. I created a onenote file and placed it
on the sharepoint server. I keep daily notes on it. If
I open the file on another computer, the purpose of
sharepoint, my original computer will show the file as
read only. I can close the file, restart the computer,
close the file on the other computer, shut down the other
computer, disconnect it from the netork, etc. The file
will forever be read only on the original computer that
created the file and on which all of the work was done.
The new computer on which I opened the file to look at it
will always open it in read/write. Noting I do other
than creating a new file, copying the onenote file into
it, placing it back on the sharepoint server under a
different name will allow me to edit the file on the
original computer.
