    - Access webshare on local server via WSS (for use with large files) For a bunch of files larger than 50 MB, I have a Windows folder that I made a web share, but accessing this (webdav) folder with IE or WSS-pageviewer web part gives only a very basic and unsophisticated listing on the contents of the folder. Is there some way (or some software) that gives a better, more windows-alike look and use of webfolders, or that is recommended in combination with Sharepoint?

    - Installation time? Next week I will be installing WSS in our new servers. I have three days to install WSS and create our Intranet site. This is being used for our new De Novo Bank starting up. I'm trying to get a feel for how long you think it should take to set up WSS to be able to use like the free trial that one can sign up for. I have used that and set up all of the web parts, but i have not had a chane to do a practice install, and will not have that time. Anyone have any ideas? (Will it take minutes, hours, or a couple of days?) Thanks for any input or experience. BTW, I have "Sharepoint 2003 Advanced Concepts", O'Reilly "Essential Sharepoint", MS Quicksource for Windows Sharepoint Services and "Microsoft Sharepoint 2003" for reference books.

    - Document Storage Sharepoint Site Total Maximum Size I would like to put about 40GB of files in a Sharepoint site running Windows 2003 Standard with SQL2005 Express. Can I do this. I will follow the suggested max files per folder of 1,000 and max file size of say 50mb. Is there a total max on size of all files and folders. I've seen some sites say max file size can be 2GB but nothing says total max storage. How will this affect storage, and how big does the server need to be. I'm moving all of the file storage for a large company to sharepoint. Has anyone else done this in this way and how did it work out. What were they server specs. I've read alot of the Microsoft BP documents and understand the total numbers, bt they don't say anything about total size. GB's...

    - Problems with Lookup Field when Moving Documents to another site l Here is the situation: I have two SharePoint sites open in two Internet Explorer windows. Both windows are to the Explorer View for Document Libraries on two separate SharePoint sites. I can successfully drag and drop the documents from the Explorer View in one library into the Explorer View in the other site library. Both libraries have a column called "owner" which is a lookup column that looking into the User Information table and displays the Display Name. On each library this field is optional (not required). The default value is blank. Here is the problem: After moving the documents I noticed that the "owner" field in the new library does not contain the same name that was displayed as the owner in the previous library (even if the same name is available in the owner field list of the new library). Example: Old site Owner field = Bill Gates ... move docs .... New site Owner field = George Bush But there is yet another catch: Even if the old site Owner field is blank (because it is an optional field), when I move the docs to the new site, the docs will get a new owner. Example: Old site Owner field = <blank> ... move docs ... New site Owner field = John Moore This is weird since the Owner field on the new site is not required and there is no default value (blank) so the entry is blank unless you select someone from the list. Any ideas? We are running Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 with no service packs. Thanks! Tag: Associating theme with Custom site definition Tag: 44939

    - Quick Question: Are all Lists stored in XML format? Hi, I have been looking at Biztalk and how to use that to process 'Form Libraries' because they are stored in XML format. I want to maintain a site which does not require infopath - so I think 'Custom Lists' is a nice alternative. Do the 'Custom Lists' repositories store data in XML format as well? If so, would they be exposed to Biztalk 2006 as well? Thanks in advance. Tag: Associating theme with Custom site definition Tag: 44935

    - "Title" - property not appearing in document uploads Hello, when a document is uploaded into a document library, the properties according to the columns of the library are displayed to be edited. However, this holds for all properties but not for the "Title" property (as far as I can see, this property is taken over automatically for Office documents, but not for other, like pdf-files). Particularly when assigning a title to a pdf file or wanting to change the title of a word-document, users would want to change the title at upload. Only after uploading the document, and clicking "Edit Properties", the title appears as an edit box and can be changed; this however is quite some additionaly effort. Is there any way to achieve the display of the "Title"-field in the document upload? Thanks, David Tag: Associating theme with Custom site definition Tag: 44934

    - Linking to a named range in Word via a Sharepoint URL Note - this question was also posted on the Word newsgroup, but none of the suggested remedies were successful. I think it may be a problem with how to reference a range name in a file in Sharepoint rather than a problem with Word. I would like to place a link to a table in an Excel sheet in my Word document. I can do this successfully if the Excel file is saved locally or to a network drive. However, if the target file is stored in Sharepoint I don't seem to be able to use the PlaceReference parameter in the LINK function. i.e. { LINK Excel.Sheet.8 "D:\\anydirectory\\Myfile.xls" "MyNamedRange" } works correctly { LINK Excel.Sheet.8 "http:////myportal//anydirectory//MyFile.xls"} does not return an error, but I get the complete Excel sheet instead of the range. { LINK Excel.Sheet.8 "http:////myportal//mydirectory//MyFile.xls" "MyNamedRange"} returns the following error: "Could not open 'http://myportal/mydirectory/MyFile.xls!MyNamedRange" { LINK Excel.Sheet.8 "http:////myportal//mydirectory//MyFile.xls#MyNamedRange"} does not return and error but I get the complete Excel sheet instead of the range. Also, Word strips out the #MyNamedRange suffix from the field code when I update it. Is there another syntax that might work for this? Note the syntax for the LINK field in Word is as follows: { LINK ClassName "FileName" [PlaceReference ] [Switches ] } TIA TM Tag: Associating theme with Custom site definition Tag: 44921

I cannot "connect" using Frontpage to this site. The IP address I use to setup my network connection to this server is the same IP address that I use to view my website. The website is vieweable and I can FTP so I know that the IP issues are free and clear.

Also, when I try to "Administer" the website using the Sharepoint Admin portal, I get a similar error. I can't add roles, etc..

Please try the following: If you have another user account with a higher level of permission, click your browser's Back button to try again using that account. If you believe you should be able to view this page, contact the Web site administrator." I can access the Administration page for the SharePoint Services and make basic configuration changes.

    - SharePoint vs Websphere Portal Hi, We're looking at implementing a Portal product, I personally would like to implement Microsoft SharePoint services, or Portal Server 2003, as we're running Windows Server 2003 Active Directory, Live Comms Server 2005, Exchange 2003, and ISA 2004. Plus all our Clients are XP Pro. So it just makes sense to keep everything Microsoft Based for compatibility & support. However my manager is trying to push Websphere Portal, and I need to come up with some reasons why SharePoint is better. But the only case studies I can find are on the Microsoft site, which won't really carry any weight with him. I could do with some hard facts, as to why SharePoint is superior, something like; "SharePoint can handle 10,000 more connections" or "SharePoint runs 200% faster" would be nice! Does anyone know any independent case studies, or reviews, that I can use to persuade him SharePoint is the way to go? Cheers Ben Tag: Associating theme with Custom site definition Tag: 44851

I plan to use "Server Farm Scalable Hosting Mode" so that all webistes will share a single IP address. However, when I looked at how to manage the Content Database, I am lost. Belows are what I wish to achieve: 1) Each department will have a quote on the website (e.g. 200GB). 2) Keep the Content Database size to 25GB When I at looked at the manage content database, I notice that I can only set the maximum number of sites for a content database. It seems like the maximum number of sites refers to top level sites and does not include subsites. If this is true, then I might have a problem. For example, if I create 3 websites and set the content database maximum number of sites to 9 (25 divide 3) and each website to have 200GB quote. Each website can continue to create subites, upload docuements until they reached their 200GB limit because there are only 3 websites as far as the Content Database is concern. This will make the Content Database 600GB by then. I am not sure is my conclusion correct so I hope that someone can enlighten me.

    - Manage users - "The user doesn't exist" error Hi, 1. Why adding though WSS admin account (through Site settings and Manage users), remote wss contributor (users) might fail with error message "The user doesn't exist" To work around it I have to enter user first through SBS Mange Users, which doesn't seem to be correct. 2. When I go to SBS Manage users, the default new user is with access rights to local server. Wizard doesn't have an option for remote wss users. How to configure new wss contributor account? Where and what rights remote wss contributor have to be entered first, so that wss admin can add contributor level users without this error message? Thanks. rina Tag: Associating theme with Custom site definition Tag: 44840

    - Uploading a template Hi, I have downloaded "Help desk dashboard" template at my local machine. I have WSS and SPS running on my virtual machine. I want to add this downloaded template to upload in my WSS so that I can use that. I have followed the steps to upload that template and the two files for that ARE uploaded but when i click on those files, I am asked to save those somewhere. I have saved these but how can I see the new uploaded template in WSS default home site. I am unable to open these uploaded files. These are .stp files. I am just a beginner in this technology so I need answers with detailed description. If someone can help me out, I'll be grateful. Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

I am a little stuck on this... I have created a new custom site
definition and all looks good. How can I associate a custom theme (at
the moment it is using the default spring) with the site difinition? I
need to make the site definition come up using our default theme so the
user doesn't have to worry to apply it.

I have tried adding this tag:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" id="onetidThemeCSS"
href="_themes/HIQ/theme.css"><meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="HIQ,
default">

but that doesn't make a difference.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks, Jody.

Just thought I would post the fix....

To change the default theme for a custom site refer to Ishai's site:

http://spstips.blogspot.com/2006/03/automatically-applying-theme-to-site.html

You add a little script which is called when the site is being created
via the onet.xml file. Excellent Fix!
