    - 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 Novice Tag: Sites on SPS server do not have a search bar, WSS full text search cannot enable Tag: 39527

    - 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.

    - 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!

    - 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.

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.

    - 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. Any good ideas?

Did you verify that the full-text component is installed and running on the
SQL server?

Hate to ask but it's always good to eliminate the obvious:)
