    - Hyperlinks from Data View Hi, I have a SharePoint site in which I am creating custom pages with FP 2003. I am using Data View to display a list on a Web Page that I created. I have a field in the list which contains a URL which points to another site. I insert the field as a Hyperlink, but Sharepoint appends the current Web Page library to the beginning of the my Hyperlink. How do I get it to just use the URL from my list field and NOT append the current site / library information? Thanks, John Tag: Authenticate using LDAP? Tag: 5421
  - 13
    - Hyperlink URL I know how I can bring in a MS Excel filed with a hyperlink into SharePoint, but I want I'm looking to do is attach along URL field to a field name with a much shorter name. My Excel file looks like this: CompanyName Address FileName URL ABC Company 111 main ddd.pdf http://ddd.ddd.com/ddd/ddd/ddd.pdf XYZ Company 222 main eee.pdf http://ddd.ddd.com/ddd/ddd/eee.pdf DEF Company 444 main fff.pdf http://ddd.ddd.com/ddd/ddd/fff.pdf QRS Company 333 main ggg.pdf http://ddd.ddd.com/ddd/ddd/ggg.pdf We only want to show the filename on the SharePoint report with a link to the URL on the filename.

    - Help me out here.... I know I'm going to get replies saying that I shouldn't do this, but.... Since there is no way to create an Event Handler for a normal list (other than doc libraries), I have come up with this solution: Wrote my code in .NET, and will use a DTS Package in SQL to reference it. Will then use a Trigger on the UserData table so that when new data is added for a specified list, it will start the DTS Package. Everything works fine when using the Trigger for an UPDATE on the UserData table, but if I use INSERT in my Trigger, then the WSS site gives a SQL Error when I add info to a list. It will go ahead and add the record to the database and site, but still returns the error. MY QUESTION: Why is it giving this error? I know that I am changing how the database is used by WSS, but I am using an AFTER trigger, not an INSTEAD OF, so WSS shouldn't worry about this. Anybody got any reasoning behind this, or any ideas to look at. Thanks for your time! Jared Tag: Authenticate using LDAP? Tag: 5415

    - WSS - Document Refrence Hi all - Three potentially simple questions - Is there a way to create a multipoint refrence to a document in WSS? (I would like to have a document reside in multiple document libraries, to provide refrence to a total of three groups. ) Any refrence's to a web part that would act as a "What's New" area for a site, displaying a refrence to new documnets that have been uploaded within the set filter?

    - DataView Master/Detail and target frame (already post in sharepoint.development but i found this ng more appropriate) Well maybe i'm dumb but i can't realize how to do this (and i've read all the ng on the earth...) It's really simple to connect two dataview with fp2003 even if the detail dataview is on another page. But what i want to do is open the detail dataview on a new window/frame (and possibly a light frame, not all the ie stuff). I tried to simply change the target attribute in the <a> tag in the dataview but it doesn't work as it call actually the __dopostback function. So it's this function that open the page in the same frame. How to change it ??? I had success with the "default target frame" property in the page settings (set it to _blank) but a new windows is opened whatever the link, not only de dataview. So it's not clean. Well maybe it's really simple but i really need help for the moment Thanks in advance Stephen Tag: Authenticate using LDAP? Tag: 5397

    - Login prompt for a few users... I have a W2K3 server running WSS and the main page has a Sign-In button that will verify the domain\name of users. Users login to the network on an NT 4.0 PDC. This works fine for just about everybody, but I have a couple of users who are prompted to login when they try to sign- in and it will invariably lock their PDC account without recording a security event that about a failed login. However, if I sign in these users on a Terminal Server session and got o the WSS site, they can sig-in and everything works fine. I surmize from this that their is a registry setting or something on their local system that is preventing their domain/name to pass in to the WSS system.

    - Replacing WSS document management functionality We have a huge library of documents in Hummingbird DM (PCDOCS). We really like Windows Sharepoint Services--Microsoft has done a wonderful job, but for it to be really useful, we would have to replace the native document management functionality in WSS with that of Hummingbird DM. So, whenever a document is checked in to WSS, we check-in to PCDOCS rather than into a WSS document library. Similarly, documents would be checkout of PCDOCS, but for example, the view of documents in a PCDOCS library would be through the standard WSS document library interface. Additionally, we will be upgrading to Office 2003, so we will also want to keep that WSS integration. I know I can just write a Web Part to interface with PCDOCS, but I also want all of that cool Sharepoint functionality. The problem, as I see it, is two fold. The first is that the events (check-in, check-out ...) exposed by the Sharepoint object model are asynchronous--the functionality can be supplemented, but not replaced; the second being that there is no obvious way to reference a document once it is stored by Sharepoint. Has anyone tried it? I would be very grateful for some tips or pointers in the right direction. Thanks Rupen. Tag: Authenticate using LDAP? Tag: 5318

Is there a way to have SharePoint authenticate against a non-Microsoft LDAP

against this server. Is there a way to do this? Any input would be highly

Hrmm I am not an IIS expert on this, but I think you might have to find a
piece of client software. SharePoint just uses the integrated authrenication
made available by Windows. If you have a client program that could log on to
a foreign system and have a token it might work (as in if you were using
Novell NDS.....client software....seems to work).

You woulud be best to post this question in the IIS group as it is more IIS
than SharePoint.
