    - Content Editor HTML code - can I push code in? I'd like to be able to programmatically manipulate the HTML code that is entered into the Source Editor Text Entry dialog box of a Content Editor web part. I've got a couple of questions: 1) Where is this HTML code stored (I assumed it would either be in a SQL Server table or in an XML file, but can't find it in either). 2) Has anyone found a good way to paste HTML into the web part Source Editor from another application? I'm trying to create a process where changing content in a different application (Excel) pushes the corresponding changes into the Content Editor. Any help is appreciated Thanks k2 Tag: Explorer view Tag: 15295

    - Recurring Events through Web Service [Sorry about the repost...I needed to post with my MSDN alias!] I am in search of a simple solution for displaying recurring events from the list web service. Currently, normal event data is easily retrieved with fieldref names such as Title, Description, EventDate, and EndDate. However, recurring events seem to be trickier. I was hoping that the web service would have some query option element that automatically expands recurring events based on the recurrence definition, but that seems to be missing. Upon querying the web service for list items, I have found an fRecurrence field (-1 for recurring, 0 for normal), and a RecurrenceData field that returns something along the lines of: <recurrence><rule><firstDayOfWeek>su</firstDayOfWeek> <repeat><daily dayFrequency='1' /></repeat> <windowEnd>2004-08-27T04:40:00Z</windowEnd></rule></recurrence> Does anyone know of a solution that will give me all occurrences without requiring me to parse the RecurrenceData? It seems a little bizarre that a common request such as "give me today's events" would not made more trivial, or that you might have to pull down and evaluate every recurring event every time you wanted to make this request. The webpart does it...how can I? Thanks, Joel -- Joel D Kraft Case Western Reserve University Tag: Explorer view Tag: 15293

    - webpartstorage question Hi, The microsoft documentation on WebPartStorage and property persistance is very vague and imprecise. For example, from v1.4 of MSP&T 2003 SDK, explanation of the WebPartStorageAttribute gives the remark: == ms docs for WebPartStorageAttribute If a WebPartStorage attribute is not specified for a property, **Storage.PerUser** is used by default. If a WebPartStorage attribute is specified for a property but the ControlledExport option is not set, ControlledExport=False is used by default. == ms docs Let's ignore the fact that there is no such enumeration as "PerUser". I assume they mean Storage.Personal. Now moving on, the Storage enum is explained as: == ms docs for Storage enum Personal: The property will be stored on a per user basis. Shared: The property will be stored with the same value for all users. Typically only the administrator can set this property. None: The property will not be stored == ms docs When a webpart property is marked as Storage.Personal, it is NOT actually stored on a per-user basis, _unless_ you have the page view set to "personal"; the effective storage of a property marked Storage.Personal in Shared view is that of a Shared property. The WSS group "Reader" does not have the rights to change the page from "Shared" to "Personal", hence I cannot have per-user properties in WebParts that are for usage by Reader members. An example matrix of how webpartstorage/storage and page view modes apply is as follows: page view | shared | personal property |==================== attribute | effective storage ============================== personal | shared | personal shared | shared | shared none | none | none (btw, Microsoft, a matrix like above would help clarify the docs. The three separate pieces of documentation on the attribute, storage enum and wp properties need to be assessed together and it is not immediately clear how it all works without contemplation) Now, to the crux of the question: not having per-user properties for people belonging to the reader group seems like a sensible idea if you had thousands of readers and didn't want to overload the database. But I want to have per-user persisted webpart properties for users in the Reader group. I have a WebPart that behaves like a doclib that lets people navigate around virtual folders -- the currentfolderId is stored in a property marked storage.personal, but when the page is in the default Shared mode, the current folder hops around like random as various users simulataneous change the value of the property which has an effective storage of shared. (Cookies are not workable as I need information about the current folder, not the last folder: The cookie collection always returns the LAST requests cookies, not the cookie being set for the current new folder. If you don't understand that part, ignore it. Just think "no cookie ideas please". It doesn't work.) Any ideas? - Oisin b.t.w. Mike Walsh, I know I've cross posted to Portal server -- I don't need lectures -- I need answers. Both groups ARE relevant, regardless of your ideas: portal server developers are a superset of WSS devs. Stop criticising ppl's posting and stick to answering the questions please; I'm sure you've better things to be doing. Thank you. Tag: Explorer view Tag: 15269

    - Backup in WSS I have a question regarding backups in WSS. Some background I am looking for a way to backup a specific document collect, workspace and or subweb for archival storage. The user would identify the specific document collection to archived and the archive backup would run at a specific time by the Admin. This archive would be different from the nightly server backup. Can this be done using SQL2000 or is there a 3rd party app that can do backups at the document level in WSS?

    - Authentification Problems Hi there! A customer of us is trying to evaluating Windows SharePoint Services to be used with their branch offices around the world. They have setup a WSS Server in a DMZ and the branches access it via HTTPS over the Interenet. In 2 out of 3 branches it works perfectly. In the US, the performance is very, very slow (they have a sevenhundred- something DSL link), the authentification popup comes on almost every page and when they try to open a office document, word freezes (most probably, because there is a security/authentification problem, I guess). Has anyone a guess what could be the problem? Why does it work in other countries!? I'm very thankful for your input, have a good day, bye Michael Tag: Explorer view Tag: 15254

    - open documents in WSS Hi, background information: WSS 2.0 and SPS2003 and SQL2000Sp3a on a Windows2003 Ent Server following steps i made for opening documents in WSS within different issues: 1. After converting a Data List View (document library) in WSS into XSLT Data View following related function to open documents are without any parameters: onclick="DispDocItemEx(this,'','','','')" therefore open/edit web parts xslt editor and add following entries: onclick="DispDocItemEx(this,'FALSE','FALSE','TRUE','SharePoint.OpenDocuments.2')" now it is possible to open it (examp. if you click on word doc, document will be opened by your client word application) 2. I added on a WSS Site a task web part with custom columns. The items within this task will be preselected by another custom list through web part connection as described in FAQ by Mike. Functionality is correct and all members of this wss site can work with it. As we know that user can attach files to a task item. users can work with this attachments and save as a same file on wss site. If they have files like .doc, .xls and other standard ms office files user can properly open documents in ms office applications through wss site. But after users attached files like .vsd (Standard Visio File) users can open it but they cant save it (get Messages 111 ...already in use??): a. they get another open dialog (file download ...open, save, cancel, more info) b. as they get if they open a .doc file (youre opening the following file ...ok, cancel) for this point i found a microsoft knowledge base article 832815 and done described workaround. nothing changed! i viewed the source and found: <...onclick="DispDocItemEx(this, 'FALSE', 'FALSE', 'FALSE', '')" href="...> damn! where is SharePoint.Documents.2 !! I searched in onet.xml of tasks, ows.js, dispform.aspx nothing found how to control parameters to DispDocItemEx(). I guess that this code is rendered on server with a opendocument control by wss. have someone any ideas related to this? thx Tag: Explorer view Tag: 15242

    - Accessing document library version history I have a version enabled document library in FrontPage 2003 with documents with different versions, but I cannot find any way of accessing the version history of these documents. Does anyone know how to do this? More details if required: I have Windows Sharepoint Services installed on Windows Server 2003 (I am not using Sharepoint Portal Server). I have a web set up on that server. If I open this web with FrontPage 2003 I can create a new document library in that web. By right clicking the document library, and selecting "Properties", I can "Enable versioning of documents" in the "Settings" tab. I can create new documents (I have tried both .htm and .doc) in this document library and I can check these documents in and out. When I have a document checked out I can see its version number in the "Summary" tab of the "Properties" of the file. This version number increments each time I check the file in and out. So it seems as though it is keeping version of the file, but I have no idea how to view the previous versions. I have managed to find a single webpage on this topic: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/wss/2/all /adminguide/en-us/stsf07.mspx but this page only mentions Word, Excel and Powerpoint even though it refers to Web Designer site groups, and in any case what it says does not seem to be available in FrontPage 2003.

    - _vti_bin missing and web parts not working correctly Hi all, I recently installed WSS on a server. Everything is working except for some of the web parts give me the old "could not retrieve properties" error and I can't edit the site in FrontPage. I went through all of the solutions that were offered on MSDN until I ran into an interesting problem when trying one of their fixes for virtual server installations. basically they say you should run: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\60\BIN>stsadm.exe -o enumwppacks -url myvirtualserverurl to find out what web parts are installed on a site. When running this I got the following back: There are no items matching the criteria specified. Thinking this was a bit strange I went looking around the virtual server directory on the server and found that there is no _vti_bin directory on that server. I was under the impression that there should be one. Anyway, I am really stuck now about what to do about this situation. I have a hell of a lot of content on the site now and don't want to loose it but would really like to fix the web parts that are not working. Thanks all for your help.

    - Sharing private calendar information Hi, I'm new to SharePoint, and I have a scenario that I'm wondering whether SharePoint can help us with. We have a team of 4-5 people working on support of a service. At least one of these people need to be on call at any given time. At the moment they communicate with eachother "manually", dividing time on call by email or phone. We'd like to publish these users' Outlook calendars to one shared calendar, enable all users to view eachothers' availability and reserve time slots for when they're on call. Two of these users are not members of the same domain/Exchange organization. Does SharePoint support this out-of-the-box? If not, are there any web parts available (commercial or freeware) with this functionality? Ideally we would like two-way sync between Outlook and the shared calendar.

    - SQL cluster search problems - this may help There have been occasional postings from people who have had problems with performing searches within WSS sites when their databases are running on a SQL cluster. For some people, if they have been using SPS, they have found that the searches work at the portal level but not at the site. It is important to understand that WSS searches are conducted using the fulltext indexing capability of SQL Server, whereas the portal search capability works in a very different manner. I too have had the problem outlined above and, with the assistance of Microsoft PSS, got to the bottom of the problem. I am sharing this solution with everyone in case it helps. Your mileage may vary - your symptoms may not match exactly and so the solution I'm going to give may not solve your problem. The steps we went through were: * Check that Microsoft Search service is installed. This is listed in the Services control panel applet. If it isn't listed, it hasn't been installed. It was already installed on both of my nodes. * Check the output from SELECT fulltextserviceproperty('IsFulltextInstalled'). If you get "1" back, SQL believes that the service is up and running properly. If you get "0", it isn't. In my case, it was working when I migrated the cluster service group over to node A, but it didn't work when it was on node B. For reasons I won't go into, I was using node B by default. The next steps were to try to spot the differences between the two nodes. I was asked to check the following: 1) Make sure the below registry are the same between two nodes: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Search HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSSEARCH 2) Make sure the DLLs are with the same version in the below folders: \Program Files\Common Files\System\MSSearch \Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\COM \Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Binn 3) Register the below DLLs: \Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Binn\SQLFTQRY.dll \WINNT\CLUSTER\GATHERCL.DLL \Program Files\Common Files\System\MSSearch\Bin\*.DLL Step (1) may reveal some differences if you've got service groups that are one node but not all of them. This was so in my case, but the majority of the registry keys were identical. Step (2) is a bit daunting because of the number of DLLs involved. It may help to remember that if you change the window display to "Details", you can then customise the columns to include the file version, thus making it easy to compare. I did find some DLL differences: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Binn sqlftqry.dll - 2000.80.760.0 (was 2000.80.194.0) ssmsgnet.dll - 2000.80.382.0 (was 2000.80.194.0) C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\COM cnv6x70.dll - 2000.80.760.0 (was 2000.80.194.0) sqlfth75.dll - 2000.80.760.0 (was 2000.80.194.0) I copied those over and then went through step (3). This is done with regsvr32. For some of them, I got an error - DllRegister Server entry point was not found - but PSS said this was OK. After all that, I move the service group from node B to node A (the working node) and then back again. I then used the SQL query and confirmed that it was returning "1" to indicate that fulltext was working. Finally, I went into SharePoint, turned off full text indexing and then turned it back on again. After waiting for a short while, I performed a search in a WSS site and it worked! I hope the above helps some of you. I would reiterate that your mileage may vary. If you have got Software Assurance with either your SQL Server licence or your SharePoint Portal Server licence, you may be able to take advantage of online support through the Software Assurance benefit. This is what I did and I'd like to thank PSS for their help with the above problem. --Philip Tag: Explorer view Tag: 15170

    - Re: PivotChart WebPart Sorting Further to this, whats wierd is that in the Office Pivot Table and the Office Spreadsheet Webparts if a data column is date you are allowed to format it (i.e. you can say mm/dd in the number field), the Pivot Chart doesnt let you? Tag: Explorer view Tag: 15160

    - How to mirror/sync docs folder on WSS site? Hi, I'm looking for a nice folder mirroring proggie that will allow me : 1. Mirroring my documents folders on the sharepoint site. 2. In a way that just download the updates = syncing with the local dirs on my computer. Anyone might know of a specific tool that works good with it ? All replicator/synchoniser/backuppers proggies don't work - they just can't recognize the web folders of sharepoint in "my network places". iOra and DocAve aren't suitable as well as they are for servers. I'm using sharepoint hosting services on a 3rd party server. Thanks Tag: Explorer view Tag: 15156

    - Re: Add users to WSS using web services The exception you are getting is a generic one that SharePoint reports for almost everything. To add users you would have to have admin rights (or permissions to add users) on the site, so your webservice would have to use impersonation to impersonate the user (who has rights) accessing the webservice.

    - Frontpage 2002 Sharepoint Template Hi I would like to use the Frontpage 2002 Sharepoint template to develop our intranet site. Our server is Microsoft Server 2003 I realise I need to get Windows Sharepoint Services configued on this server. 50% of our staff are located around NZ and connect via a VPN to our network. My questions: The reason I choose this template is my understanding that I get Sharepoint functionality for free (well almost) as my understanding is I do not need a licence to use this template. My understanding is that I do not need a Server 2003 External Connector License as our "external staff" will logon to our network (where the intranet will sit) via a vpn - is this correct? Also, a cooleague sent me this link http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/sharep oint/trial.mspx My understanding is that after the trial period I would have to pay to use Sharepoint this way? Whats the difference between using the Frontpage template and using Sharepoint as provided by the link? Many thanks - the different Sharepoint options are confusing me a bit as I'm not understanding why one will cost but not the other. Many thanks Tag: Explorer view Tag: 15153

    - Re: PivotChart WebPart Sorting Out of a requirement the category column is dates and it is required to only show mm/dd, therefore the constructed view on SQL Server is a char showing mm/dd, when this comes to pivot chart, it messes up the entire order by sorting it. Your thoughts? Tag: Explorer view Tag: 15152

From within a windows sharepoint services site, I can't
open the sharepoint "explorer" view...

when I select it, the system tells me that the site is
not part of my trusted sites... but the top level site is
included in my trusted site list...

what gives? I'm using IE 5.5...

Is this an IE issue or something else?

Any ideas? thanks to all...
