    - Dataview webpart DVWP to find Username of current user I would like to use the frontpage dataview web part on a WSS page to pick up the username (not the domain\username) bit of the current user and query the Sql profile database to pull up extra infomation (name, Date of birth etc) and show that in the Dataview webpart. I have created the database connection and the queryand I have created the filter 'Username equals [Current user]' .Username is a field name that contain username (without the domain name attached) in the database. The dataview webpart returns no records found even though the users have information in the database. Change the filter to a known username, the DVWP returns the user's record ok It does not seem to pick up and compare the logged on user's username and that in the database well. Any help.

    - incoming e-mail I'm not able to do any testing yet on the incoming e-mail settings but I was wondering if you have incoming e-mail configured for a certain document library, would it be possible to remove the emails from the mailbox when they are automatically moved into the shared library? I basically don't want to clog up the exchange server and a shared library. TIA, Jackson Tag: Consolidate Blogs Tag: 56414

    - Access to fully qualified name forces login dialogue v3 I have sharepoint services v3 installed. I created a new site: http://fp1/sites/whrservices. Which works great. However, if I use the url http://fp1.mydomainname.com/sites/wharservices.com I get prompted with an authentication dialogue box. So I enter my credentials, click the save password setting and I'm in. However, I always get prompted. What obvious thing am I missing?? Tag: Consolidate Blogs Tag: 56412

    - Upload file using Explorer View when "'Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited" is used Hi, I am using WSS3 and I just activated the 'Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited?' option. Now when I upload a file I am asked to check the file in ... But if I do use the Explorer View to store files on my Sharepoint I am not able to check them in and they will not appear in the document view ! What am I doing wrong ? Thanks, Ark Tag: Consolidate Blogs Tag: 56408

    - Site Search Pro Gold 2.0 We have come across a typical problem with Site Search Pro Gold 2.0 - Any text/word/searchkey having apostrophe mark are not getting indexed by the system as the search result is not displaying any of them. For example: If we have a paragraph in a page A as "I have a big brother named Apurba. Apurba's attitude towards work is very nice. Apurba is also fond of Music." and another page B having a paragraph as "Apurba's achievements are numerous and scores are high." Now when we search for Apurba, only page A is appearing in the search result with the following highlighted. "I have a big brother named Apurba. Apurba's attitude towards work is very nice. Apurba is also fond of Music." but the word Apurba's is NOT at all considered and also PAGE B is not listed in the search result. Further, if we search for Apurba's, no search result is displayed. Please note in both the cases, we have NOT done exact word search. We feel there is a problem with the engine doing the indexing of the pages. If anybody has solution using Site Search Pro Gold 2.0 itself, please let us know. It is quite URGENT. Tag: Consolidate Blogs Tag: 56405

    - Changing a library to xslt data view If I have a library that contains an edit field, every time i try and convert the library webpart to an xslt dataview in sharepoint designer, I get an error message saying there is an invalid xslt stylesheet. Invalid character. If I remove the edit field, it converts to a data view with no problem. Does anyone know how to convert the webpart with the edit field? Also, I know you can have a field right click and choose edit but I need the edit column to make the site consistent with the way it already works for the existing lists.

    - Folder Name Length for Explorer View Hi, This is my update from my previous post for upload file not being shown in explorer view and I have a couple of questions for the below: I have found that I need to close the IE browser, open a new browser and access the document library list with Explorer View, it will then show my new uploaded file. 1.So is there any way not to reopen the browser in order to see get both views updated? Is there any cache for the Explorer View? And may I know is there any folder name length limit in the SharePoint Document Library? Because I noticed that when I have a folder name with a length of around 50 characters, it gives me a page cannot be display when I change the view to Explorer View...However, I can navigate to this folder from its' top folder in Explorer View...So from my inverstigation, I found out that if the folder name length is more than 40, I cannot change the view to Explorer View from the All Documents view of the current folder(the one with long name).. But when I navigate to the folder with the name length of 50, from the top folder in Explorer View, it does not gives me the page cannot be displayed error page..It just works fine through this channel. 2. So is there any restriction on the folder naming length for changing to Explorer View from All Documents View? Thanks. Tag: Consolidate Blogs Tag: 56397

    - Upload File not shown Explorer View Hi, I am using WSS v3 and when I was trying to upload a .dwg file to my document library list from the normal single file upload form ie. All Documents View, I noticed that when i changed the view to Explorer View, the uploaded .dwg file is not being shown..but it does shown in the All Documents View. I actually did some testings..Here is it: 1. Create a new document library 2. Upload a .dwg file from normal single file upload form 3. Change the view to Explorer View, the uploaded .dwg file being shown. 4. Upload any file again to the document library using single file upload form, change the view to Explorer View, it only shown the first .dwg file uploaded in steps 2. All subsequent uploaded files doesn't shown in Explorer View. Is this a bug in the Explorer View when uploading a .dwg file to the document list? Thanks. Tag: Consolidate Blogs Tag: 56396

    - WSS 3.0 upgrade, stand-alone problem Hi everyone, in this moment we have SharePoint 2.0 with companywebs migrated into SQL 2005. I want to install WSS v 3.0 on our SBS 2003 R2 SP1 Premium PL server as a side-be-side installation according to Microsofts whitepaper.

    - Site Actions Problem I recently used smigrate to move some content as a template over to a new server etc etc. Running WSS 3.0. I have created a site eg /site and if I go to Site Actions--->Create I get the usual list of Libraries, Communications, Tracking, Custom Lists and Web Pages. However, if i goto /site/migratedweb, and then to Site Actions--- >Create, I only get Tracking and Custom Lists where tracking only contains Agenda. (This web is a team meeting one). All the others such as the ability to create a document library or discussion board are missing. If I create a new web (team meeting one) under /site/newweb and then go to Site Actions--->Create, I get all of this. Therefore it seems the migration process missed the templates or ignored the default ones. Any ideas appreciated! Chris Tag: Consolidate Blogs Tag: 56389

    - listbox databind problem web part. Hi, I have rather a simple webpart that has a listbox with two buttons - one to add users and other to remove users.

    - SharePoint Designer/Frontpage/WSS question I was never a big user of Frontpage but Designer plays a huge role in MOSS/WSS 3. So, I have the following question: If you use SPD to create a folder arbitrarily in the structure of a WSS site and then start stuffing files, e.g. images, aspx pages, etc., how are they treated by WSS? Are the files content? Is everything handled by the safe mode parser? Since the files have to be in the contentdb, I expect they're backed up with the site. Are they accessible through the object model? Tag: Consolidate Blogs Tag: 56382

    - Windows authentication after session expiry Hi, I am using WSS 3.0 for my site development. For this, i want that at the time of initial login it sohuld not ask for Windows Authentication (Should use looged in user's credentials). Now, i have set up a timeout of 1minute for my site. If 1minue of inactivity is there then i want to show the Login Screen again (Windows Authentication) and then redirect to the same page where user was originally working e.g. if user is at Mypage.aspx and login session expires, then on session_start, it should ask for Login Credentials and then go to Mypage.aspx again. I have been able tosetup the timeout period and on Session_Start, i am trying to redirect it to Authenticate.aspx. Now the problem is that, i have not been able to distinguish between the initial login and login after session expiry. Also when i use authenticate.aspx, it tries to authenticate user for 3times i.e. asks the credentials for 3times. Please help me in solving this problem. Here is the code that i am using for this: void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) { Response.Write(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host + HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath + "Session is Starting...<br>"); // Redirect here to Authenticate.aspx which is used by default by IIS. Session.Timeout = 1; } void Session_End(object sender, EventArgs e) { Response.Write("Session is Ending...<br>"); Response.End(); } Regards, Shreshth Tag: Consolidate Blogs Tag: 56375

I'm trying to install this web part on a Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 instance. In my development environment, Sharepoint is set up on a single server with SQL Server 2000 on the same box. I can install the web part just fine there. On the production instance, Sharepoint is set up different. SQL Server 2000 is on a separate box. Using the same steps (as I do on the development instance), I get a "cannot connect to the configuration database" error message. As far as I know, everything else on the production Sharepoint instance is working just fine. I've seen the troubleshooting steps at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/ 823287/en-us. On the web server, the app pool identity is set to "NETWORK SERVICE". On the SQL Server 2000 instance, the "NETWORK SERVICE" account is not a member of any of the roles listed in the knowledge base article. If I add the SQL Server 2000 instance's 'NETWORK SERVICE" account to the proper roles, would that fix my problem? Do I need to create another account that is the same for both servers? I'm not sure why I get this error on the production server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tag: Consolidate Blogs Tag: 56359

    - WSS - Error using stsadm "-o deletesite", (corrupted site?) I am having an issue with a site collection on my sharepoint server. I used stsadm.exe with the -o createsite parameter to create a blank corporate IT test site on our intranet (http://intranet/sites/corporateIT2). Before the command was finished running however, the command window was closed by accident. Now when I go to enumsites for http://intranet, I get the following entry among the others: <Site Url="http://intranet/sites/corporateIT2" Error="There is no Web named "/sites/corporateIT2"."> If I try to run stsadm.exe -o deletesite or -o backup with the CorprorateIT2 url, I get: "The system cannot find the path specified" If I try to run: stsadm.exe -o deletepath with the CorporateIT2 url, I get: "The managed path you specified does not exist" If I try to run: stsadm.exe -o restore -url http://intranet/sites/corporateIT2 -filename -overwrite from a backup I have of the production corporate IT site I get: "The Web site address "http://intranet/sites/corporateIT2" is already in use" If I try to access the site through a browser, I get: 400 error, "Bad Request" At this point, I'm just trying to clean up/delete the http://intranet/sites/corporateIT2 path/site that I've created. It's not hurting much right now as the intranet is still a development platform, and no one needs the corporateIT2 url, but I want to get a better picture of what's going on and how to fix it moving forward. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Chris Tag: Consolidate Blogs Tag: 56356

I can do this easily through Explorer view, however I notice that all the files are checked out to me when I do this.

    - Issue upgrading Sharepoint 2003 sp2 to MOSS 2007 trial version I downloaded the trial version of MOSS 2007 until my CD and license comes in. I have a test environment with 1 server which is the front end webserver, the 2nd server is the job server and indexer and the 3rd server is running SQL 200 sp4. In my actual environment its a 3 server farm as opposed to the 2 server farm I have in my test environment. I ran all windows updates on all 3 boxes including grabbing the DST update for Sharepoint 2003. I ran the prescan.exe and cleared all errors. I installed .NET 3.0 on both the front end and job/indexer. I also enabled .NET 2.0 in IIS.I upgraded the frontend first without running the config wizard. I then upgraded the job/index server second and stopped at running the config wizard. Ran the config wizard on frontend and it bombed on step 2 with the following error: "Failed to initiate the upgrade process" Logfile has the following error: 02/07/2007 13:44:45 8 ERR Task upgradebootstrap has failed with an unknown exception 02/07/2007 13:44:45 8 ERR Exception: Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeException: Action 12.0.1.0 of Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Upgrade.SearchServiceInstanceSequence failed. ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

Next, he had me run it on the front- end again and it bombed with the same error. I sent him all of my logs and have yet to hear from him. I have been unable to find a solution to this error message either by my own accord or through MS. Hopefully, someone out here has had this issue before and can tell me how to resolve it. Thanks for any help. Tag: Consolidate Blogs Tag: 56352

    - IE Locks when trying to access Sharepoint I posted this on the portal server group and thought I'd try over here too. I have several members on my team with an issue when trying to access our sharepoint site. IE will show one bar on the progress bar, but lock up and I have to end program to get out. It doesn't even get to the login popup. They can get to other internal and external websites. They can login in to the sharepoint site from other PCs. Here's what I've tried: 1. Delete all temp files 2. I can ping the server from a command prompt 3. I can get the the sharepoint site through firefox (although we have no functionality) 4. I removed all the webparts on the opening page - still nothing 5. I added the website to their trusted sites. 6. I've matched all the security settings to my PC. Nothing changed on their machines to cause this. I even get it on my machine from time to time, but once I end program and restart IE, I can get in. Any suggestions?

    - How to enable auditing on WSS v3 Hello. Can anyone point me in the direction for instructions on how you enable and view auditing in WSS v3? I am aware you it's not a GUI option in WSS v3 The admin section of the MS technet library is still down as "TBD", so no help there. I've tried Mike Walsh's excellent WSS FAQ, however it states that it must be performed by the object model. "Note: In WSS v3 Audit Logging needs to be turned on (and accessed) via the Object Model (OM)" The following link, seems to relate to MOSS 2007 and not WSS v3 http://markharrison.co.uk/blog/archive%5C2006_07_01_archive.htm Any pointers will be great (I'm guessing you need to use SP designer 2007?)

    - Smigrate and Original Site I have a WSS 2.0 sp2 (6.0.28117) server. It's a single server with the config and content DBs on another server running SQL 2000 sp4. We're looking at upgrading to WSS 3.0 and to do so wanted to setup a test environment. Smart aye? :) So I created a backup using the smigrate tool. Setup a new server, installed WSS 2.0 and patched it to the same version. Re-created all the sites without templates. Setup all the databases like on the original server but pointing at a different SQL server (2005 in this instance). I copied the smigrate backup files over to the new server and ran the tool to restore to the new web. as in http://site2 instead of http://site1 It all seemed to work just fine except that after running the tool, my ORIGINAL sharepoint site gives a 404 Bad Request error. For the life of me, I see no reason why the 2 would be connected but that is the only change done to that server recently. Help would be appreciated. Thanks Tag: Consolidate Blogs Tag: 56328

    - Migrate wss 2.0 and sql 2000 to new hardware All, Maybe someone can help me out with this. I've been reading and reading for days and I see a lot of different posts and doc's but none that seem to address my particular situation. I have a server 2003 box with wss v 2.0 and sql 2000 on it and it seems to be dying. I would like to move my exsisting installations to a new server. The server will be a completely different machine, with different hard drive set-up and with a different box name and domain. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what steps I should take to make this change? What about my AD users, will they have to be migrated as well or will stsadmin do all of that?

    - Pass an argument to a survey? Hi all, is it possible to pass an argument into a survey, via the URL? I would like to create a customer survey response from our CRM tool, passing it the event reference number. So, for example, we'd automatically send an email to the user inviting them to complete the survey at the following URL; http://edn-web-02/sites/ServiceCentre/Lists/InternalIncidentSurvey/NewForm.aspx?THE-INCIDENT-IS=12345 And the last bit (I know the syntax is wrong!) would update one of the columns in the survey response. Ideally that field would be hidden / read-only, but that's less of an issue than passing in the correct reference in the first place. I guess this query would apply to any new-item form, not just the survey list. Appreciate your thoughts. Regards, Scott Tag: Consolidate Blogs Tag: 56310

    - SPImport Problems Hi All, I'm trying to programmatically move a site from one SiteCollection to another using the SPExport and SPImport APIs.

Here's the code I'm using to attempt to do this programmatically: SPExportSettings exportSettings = new SPExportSettings(); exportSettings.ExportMethod = SPExportMethodType.ExportAll; exportSettings.SiteUrl = "http://vpc-joelmoss/site/myfirstsitecollection; exportSettings.BaseFileName = "test2"; exportSettings.FileLocation = @"C:\test"; exportSettings.IncludeVersions = SPIncludeVersions.All; exportSettings.OverwriteExistingDataFile = true; exportSettings.IncludeSecurity = SPIncludeSecurity.All; SPExport export = new SPExport(exportSettings); export.Run(); This exports successfully, AND I'M ABLE TO IMPORT THIS FILE USING STSADM.exe. However, I'm not able to import it successfully using the SPImport Object. Here's the code that fails as well as the error message I receive. SPImportSettings importSettings = new SPImportSettings(); importSettings.BaseFileName = "test2.cmp"; importSettings.FileLocation = @"C:\test"; importSettings.SiteUrl = "http:\\vpc-joelmoss\NewRootSite"; importSettings.IncludeSecurity = SPIncludeSecurity.All; importSettings.UpdateVersions = SPUpdateVersions.Overwrite; SPImport import = new SPImport(importSettings); import.Run(); The error message I get is FatalError: Cannot import site. The exported site is based on the template STS#0 but the destination site is based on the template SPS#0. You can import sites only into sites that are based on same template as the exported site. at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.WebSerializer.IsWebTemplateCompatible(String sourceWebTemplateName, String destinationWebTemplateName) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.WebSerializer.SetObjectData(Object obj, SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context, ISurrogateSelector selector) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.XmlFormatter.ParseObject(Type objectType, Boolean isChildObject) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.XmlFormatter.DeserializeObject(Type objectType, Boolean isChildObject, DeploymentObject envelope) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.XmlFormatter.Deserialize(Stream serializationStream) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.ObjectSerializer.Deserialize(Stream serializationStream) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.ImportObjectManager.ProcessObject(XmlReader xmlReader) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.SPImport.DeserializeObjects() at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.SPImport.Run() It seems that stsadm is able to create a new site with the correct template and SPImport isn't able to do so. The question is, what is stsadm doing using the APIs (b/c I'm pretty sure under the hood its using the SPImport and SPExport APIs) that I'm not?? Thx for any help. - Joel Tag: Consolidate Blogs Tag: 56301

    - Change time interval in custom list We have a custom list in Sharepoint. In a column we use the type Date and Time. The time field seems to be limited to 5 minutes interval (0.5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55) We would change this to 1 minute instead. Is there a way to change this? Regards Daniel Tag: Consolidate Blogs Tag: 56300

Playing around with STS ver 3, and like the new blog feature. Is there a
way to display consolidated the multiple blogs that may be on my site into
on view. I was thinking displaying the last 10 blog entries from any one of
the 10 blogs that will be listed.

At first I thought there would be a web part but could not find a obvious
one. Then I tried to add the Blog's RSS feed to the default page.

Any suggestions? I like the RSS way, because in theory I could add external
RSS feeds also. (Baby steps, got to remember baby steps)

Thanks in Advanced!
