    - AD name change in 2.0 I have run into an issue with WSS 2.0 regarding security. An AD group was applied to the site, and then the named was changed in AD. However WSS doesnâ??t show that new name under manage users in â??domain groupsâ?? column, but it is reflected in the â??user nameâ?? column. Removing the groups and adding them back does not fix it either. Anyone know why? thanks Tag: VSeWSS for VS2008? Tag: 61566

    - Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: '#' Key being add Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: '326' Key being added: '326' I have been getting this error message for the past week after I changed the service accounts on my Sharepoint server. Any configuration changes done in the Central Administration server return this error message. Changing the service accounts back to the defaults haven't fixed this error. Any help would be appreciated. Tag: VSeWSS for VS2008? Tag: 61564

    - Programmatically add a wss subsite using the object model - two issues remaining I've created an event handler that fires when a new item is created in a list, and automatically creates a new subsite based on the parameters to the list. This works almost fine, but I have two issues that I hope someone can help me with. 1) Permissions Since my subsite does not inherit permissions I need to create the Owner, Member and Visitors groups and add the appropriate permissionlevels. I'm having problem adding the creator to the Owner group. My code: // Add current user to owner group SPUser user = parentWeb.Users.GetByID(properties.CurrentUserId); newWeb.AssociatedOwnerGroup.AddUser(user); newWeb.AssociatedOwnerGroup.Update(); The code runs, and I get no error, but the user is not added to the group. I hope some of you might have a tip for me? 2. Navigation I would like the subsites to be added to the parent site's top link bar that same way that they are when they are created using the ui wizard and you choose to display this site in the top navigation bar of the parent area. I'm able to create a new node in the parent TopNavigation bar, but if I do this the link is visible to everyone and not just the users that have access to the subsite. My code: // Display settings newWeb.Navigation.UseShared = true; // Add site to top navigation if parent does not inherit navigation if (!newProject.ParentWeb.Navigation.UseShared) { SPNavigationNode node = new SPNavigationNode(newProject.Title, newProject.ServerRelativeUrl); SPNavigationNode addedNode = newProject.ParentWeb.Navigation.TopNavigationBar.AddAsLast(node); addedNode.IsVisible = true; addedNode.Update(); } newProject.Update(); Any help is much appreciated.

    - Domain change on WSS 2.0 server Hi all, I'm sorry for my bad English, but I hope you will be understand my problem. The situation is the next: My company "abc" bought an another company "xyz". We want to migrate their domain to the our xyz->abc. They have WSS2.0 with SP2 installed at one of member server, and have installed a custom 3rd party application on it also. The config and content DB is on the 3rd SQL2000 server and uses a domain account xyz\account for WSS and for custom WSS based application. The WSS application pools - Default and the STSAdmin AppPool - uses a domain account and the SharePoint Timer Service use the same domain account too xyz\account. I am new in WSS, and therefor I am not sure in some points. After domain migration what steps are required to do except of these (plz. correct them if I'm wrong) ? 1 - Change the Application Pools accounts manually 2 - Change the services "run as" account manually 3 - In SQL management console, add the permissions for new domain user account abc\account 4 - By configuration settings, change WSS admin group from xyz\account to abc\account (or I think this can be made by stsadm.exe parameters..) 5 - Change the users access permissions on all sites, subsites, lists, doclibs. Is it possible to make this automatically somehow? Please comment these steps, and/or write your suggession about this AD migration, and your opinion about the impacts on WSS sites. Thank you!

    - Public View web part column not sorted by ASCII code I am a fledgling Sharepoint Services Admin. We created an Sharepoint Services Intranet site for our office and on that we created a web page using the Project Tracking web part. On that page I created a Public View that sorts on a column we created called Task Order. Task Order column is defined as a "Single line of text" with a max of 8 characters and on the public view is sorted in Ascending order. For some reason that column sorts in the following order: symbols, numbers, letters with no case sensitivity (example: sorts Task Orders starting with ~ first, 1 second, i third and T last). I expected it to sort on ASCII code order 1 (hex 31), T (hex 54), i (hex 69) and then ~ (hex 7E). Any idea why this is happening and how to fix it? -- Alan Tag: VSeWSS for VS2008? Tag: 61523

    - WSS and SSEE Search Hi, I can't seem to get search working with WSS and SSEE. I have the search bar on all of my sites but when i search for anything nothing is ever returned. I don't see an error on the page, it just shows no results. I have a very similiar dev environment setup in which the search works. I don't recall doing anything to get search working on my dev environment but it does. I was considering installing SQL Server 2000 and setting up full text indexing to get the search to work. But it is still confusing that search doesn't work as is. The only thing I can find is a log entry but I have been unsuccessfull finding any information on it (sorry bad formating). -------------------------- 08/03/2007 12:17:31.75 w3wp.exe (0x0730) 0x09BC Search Server Common MS Search Query 7pk2 High FetchDataFromURL start at(outside if): 1 param: start 08/03/2007 12:17:31.76 w3wp.exe (0x0730) 0x09BC Windows SharePoint Services Topology 88gr Monitorable alternateUrl is null 08/03/2007 12:17:31.76 w3wp.exe (0x0730) 0x09BC Windows SharePoint Services Topology 88gs Monitorable hostHeaderSiteInfo is null 08/03/2007 12:17:31.76 w3wp.exe (0x0730) 0x09BC Windows SharePoint Services Topology 88gv Monitorable hostHeaderSiteInfo is null -------------------------------- Has anyone see this before?

    - Help All, I tried to get answers to this query on "sharepoint.general" newsgroup but no one responded. Trying my luck here. Apologize for double post! Thanks, Rohit Below is my post: Hi All, I made some improvement regarding restoring site from .fwp files. There were some 150+ .fwp backup files (each averaging around 20-30 MB) which were numbered in sequential fashion. I ran smigrate program to restore these files into SharePoint Portal Server 2003 blank site (created by using SharePoint services which comes along with portal server). The restoration starts fine (takes around 40 minutes) performing various tasks and then comes to a section where it has to upload files into the site. It successfully uploads around 2000+ files before encountering a problem. There around 16000+ files which needs to be uploaded (according to smigrate console message). Smigrate keeps out putting this message "Web server is busy. Please try again. Retrying, bad file <lists the file name>" This message keeps repeating for rest of the 14000+ files (I think so..never had a chance to verify this). It then proceeds with successful site restoration message before coming out of the smigrate. Nobody is using the web server as I am restoring this site to a dedicated server with plenty of HDD space and 1 GB RAM. Smigrate is the only program working with the web server for site restoration. I also checked the site settings on the web server and everything looked fine. I have set the connections to unlimited in the IIS. I haven't applied Service Packs to SharePoint Portal Server 2003 or SharePoint services. Do you think the above problem was because SP was not applied? Or was something else wrong? Can somebody please guide me on this? Regards, Rohit P.S If I need to apply SP, can somebody send me a link to the SP for both SharePoint Portal Server 2003 and SharePoint Services 2.0 (I think this is what is shipped with portal server 2003).

    - remove delete permission from contributor (wiki site) I am starting up a wiki site and I was wondering if anyone has figured out a way to allow people to add and modify content without allowing permission to delete said content. I am worried about someone getting mad and going through and deleting all of my pages one day. It seems foolish of MS not to have taking this into consideration.

    - Data View: how to follow lookup field link to document? Hello My scenario: I'm on Sharepoint 2007 Portal Server. I have a custom list, HRPolicy. In this list there is a lookup field - policy - that lets the user select a document from a document library, HRPolicies. On a page I have added a Data View Web Part to show the information from the list HRPolicy. By default the value of the field policy is formated as text only. I would like to have it as a hyperlink that displays the document when click, exactly as if you were to add a list directly as a web part. How can this be accomplished? I have tried to use the ddwrt:URLLookup using the GUID of the list, the field and the ID, but this doesn't work. In details I have the exact same problem as this guy: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/29871868/data-form-web-part-ddwrt.aspx Seems that this worked on Sharepoint 2003, but not 2007. I would guess that it is really simply procedure, but somehow I cannot figure out how to get it done. I currently only have the name of the document, in the policy lookup field. If I could get the ID I could make the link by going http://server/HRPolicies/Forms/DispForm.aspx?ID={@ID}&RootFolder=* (where {@ID} would be the ID, but I do not know how to get this. Anybody?

    - Can't publish Infopath form... Hi Everyone! I posted that question to microsoft.public.infopath group but with no luck.interest. Maybe here I'll get more... ;] I'd like to publish my first form template to Sharepoint but two things appear: 1. After creating a simple form i Infopath I'm trying to publish it to "Sharepoint server with or without Form Services" (WSS 3.0 don't have these services as far as I know...). When asked for URL of my site i tried various verisions of URL (http://server/ or http://server/sites/ThatSite/ or http://server/sites/ThatSite/FormLib/Forms/AllItems.aspx or used IP address of the server). I get questioned for the user/password, give'em (with farm administrator rights) and still I cannot connect :/ "The URL is incorrent" What format of URL is correct here? 2. If I'm trying to add a new template from the Sharepoint (in FormLibrary i click New->Document and have the opportunity to choose XSN file) it also gets strange. Nevermind if I chose my simple form or those template exaples from Office12 folder I cannot publish them because: "The Element 'comment' is used but not defined/declared in DTD schema". I dont recollect using on purpose anything like 'comment' myself. What;s that? I tried to save my template to source files and after searching through them i found only one place where word 'comment' appears: In file: upgrade.xsl At the begining: <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:copy-of select="processing-instruction() | comment()"/> I'll be grateful for any useful ideas ;) Cheers guys!

    - Missing AllItems.aspx contents I did not think this was possible from GUI, but a user managed to delete the ListViewWebPart in the PlaceHolderMain(Custom) so that the AllItems.aspx page of a Library has nothing (no web part, ergo no Toolbar, no View: selection) and no way to undo that I can find. He was simply trying to delete folders he created. I know enough to open SharePoint Designer, look at the page and compare it to another Library to see what is missing and tell you it is the ListViewWebPart in the PlaceHolderMain(Custom) spot, but I don't know enough to get it back. (Just learning SPD on my own) If I add the Library web part (Edit Page, Add Web Part) from the GUI like I might add to the home page to display the Library, I don't get the View: drop down menu. (btw, there are no Closed web parts). If I copy the ListViewWebPart from my new view (see next) from in SharePoint Designer, I just get my new view not the original All Items that I want back. I created another AllItems which got named AllItems1.aspx, so the site users can get to the documents. Two issues with that view. It does not show the folders that still exist (just docs), and "View:" drop down does not show All Items (the original) as a selection though it does show Explorer View as a selection. (Explorer View does show the folders that still exist.) How to revert All Items aspx page to original state? Thanks, jremmc Tag: VSeWSS for VS2008? Tag: 61465

    - =?Utf-8?Q?Usage_Reports_problem_=E2=80=93_incorrec?= Several site owners brought to my attentions that number of hits displayed on usage reports are correct to ASPX files, but for PDF and MS Office files (e.g. Word) the numbers are not right. For example we know for a fact that several users viewed Doc file but it shows 0 hits for it. I did a â??controlledâ?? experiment myself. I created 3 files in document library â?? ASPX, PDF and DOC. For next several days I was opening each one equal number of time, using different accounts and recorder what I did it each day. No one except me and 2 test accounts has access to test files. When I looked at the usage report, the hits for ASPX were matching what I did, but for DOC and PDF they were â??god knows whatâ??. I have WSS 2.0 and SP Portal Server 2003.

    - Wiki Docuement Templates My company is using the SharePoint WSS v3 wiki functionality to capture corporate knowledge. We have have experts, who know a things about things, write "articles" in a wiki document library. One requirement was to give the experts article templates from which to choose from when writing the articles. I'm posting this topic to get opinions from people who know what will work to meet this requirement. My way was to add javascript to the CreateWebPage.aspx file which redirects the user to a custom_CreateWebPage.aspx based on the requested url. The user only gets redirected if they are navigating to a specific wiki doc lib. I did this because while I was able to implement a feature that redirects the user to a custom_EditCreateWebPage.aspx, I could never get the feature to work for the CreateWebPage.aspx To get an article template for the user, in the custom_CreateWebPage.aspx, I added javascript which called a web service I created that returned a string containing an Article Template. Next, I used javascript to write the string on the Wiki Text field. This works, but I am concerned that I made it too complicated or that basically there is a better way. Any suggs?

    - stsadm vs sql server backup Running WSS 2.0 and SQL Server 2000. We have a simple setup, one server, one database, and everything under one site collection. In terms of disaster recovery, I'm trying to figure out the difference between backing up using stsadm and creating one backup file every night or just using the sql server backup. The sql server backup runs every night regardless. From what I've read it appears that I should be able to restore everything from the sql server backup, is that true? Do I miss anything going with the sql server backup vs stsadm? What about 3rd party web parts? Does stsadm do anything this these or do these have to be reinstalled?

    - E-mail Notifications Good Morning, I've got a WSS 3.0 server running on Windows 2003 R2 (SP1), if a user subscripts to Alerts they correctly recieve an e-mail from the server informing them they have correctly setup an alert. However when adding a new user/changing document security settings, etc the user recieves and error stating that the operation completed successfully but the e-mail notification could not be sent. I've checked the Application Log and have the following errors each time an attempt is made to send an e-mail: Event Type: Error Event Source: Windows SharePoint Services 3 Event Category: E-Mail Event ID: 7946 Date: 01/08/2007 Time: 10:04:42 User: N/A Computer: BRI-SVR-APPS-1 Description: Cannot complete this action. Please try again. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. Unfortunately checking the Knowledge Base and other on-line sources revels no information about this error. If anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Joh Tag: VSeWSS for VS2008? Tag: 61421

    - WIKI best practices We installed the Sharepoint WIKI on our intranet. I would like to have some policies/procedures for following best practices before all users who have access to it start adding/modifying pages in a random way. Can anyone point me to resource that will help me organize things around WIKI better? PS: We already have 143 WIKI pages in place. I would not like to spend time reorganizing existing information, instead would like to have some procedures in place for the future. Thanks in advance! Tag: VSeWSS for VS2008? Tag: 61419

    - FBA breaks sometimes This is just a general notice/warning to folks using Forms-Based Authentication (FBA) -- changes to the Authentication Provider through Central Administration causes changes to web.config that can break FBA and cause the dreaded "Unknown Error" on log-in. This gave me hours of headaches trying to figure out. The solution is to make a backup copy of your web.config after you get FBA working, then be sure to do a test log-in to the site any time you make a change to the Authentication Provider for the web application. Central Admin seems to make changes to web.config without making a backup, so look at the file date if you start getting Unknown error on log-in. I've seen this on two machines now, so I don't think it's just my environment. Good luck, Jeff Tag: VSeWSS for VS2008? Tag: 61418

    - Creating a custom list by importing a spreadsheet We are using Windows SharePoint Services Version 3. We have Microsoft Office 2003 with SP2. When I am trying to create a custom list by importing a spreadsheet the process completes without any errors. However, when I go to customize the columns, the first column, the "Title" is set as a "Single line of text." This cannot be changed to another type. Any suggestions? Tag: VSeWSS for VS2008?

    - Unsafe Control Exception when using SPWebPartManager.GetClassResourcePath I've been fighting a problem for the last couple of days concerning an UnsafeControlException that occurs when calling SPWebPartManager.GetClassResourcePath. Any ideas on the source of this issue. I'm new to WSS 3.0 so it's probably something silly. John Here is the code: public string getImageURI(string imageName) { if (HttpContext.Current != null) { SPWeb currentWeb = SPControl.GetContextWe(HttpContext.Current); if (currentWeb != null) { Type currentType = GetType(); string resourcePath = SPWebPartManager.GetClassResourcePath(currentWeb,currentType); return resourcePath + "/" + imageName; } } return imageName; } Exception: Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationRuntime.SafeControls +UnsafeControlException: A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Page cannot be displayed or imported. The type is not registered as safe. at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.TypeCache.get_Item(Type type) at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.SPWebPartManager.ClassResourcePathOfType(Type type, SPWeb web) at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.SPWebPartManager.GetClassResourcePath(SPWeb web, Type webPartType) at Utilities.SharePointResourceFinder.getImageURI(String imageName) in C: \svn\Libraries\Trunk\Utilities\SharePointResourceFinder.cs:line 59 at blah blah blah Tag: VSeWSS for VS2008?

    - Redirect sharepoint webapp to defined managed path I have a web app called portal.mysite.com I want that site redirected to portal.mysite.com/home. I have tried setting the home dir in IIS to the path which just breaks both sites. When I type in the portal.mysite.com I get prompted for a username and password but then a 404. I really want to do this on the server side rather then client side. Any help out there? Tag: VSeWSS for VS2008? Tag: 61407

    - WSS vs. MOSS code comparison? I would like to install WSS for my users, but am getting a great deal of flak from infosec folks. They have approved MOSS, but are in the dark about WSS. I've argued that WSS is very likely a subset MOSS, (like SQL Express is to SQL2005) and should be approved on that basis. Was I telling the truth? Can any MVPs provide authoritative information?

Has anyone seen Visual Studio Extensions for VS2008? The VS2005
refuses to install for me since I loaded the VS2008 beta.

Alternatively, is there a better way to get started with webpart
development?

Never put a beta on the same PC as a production product.

What happens when you uninstall first the beta and then 2005 and then
re-install 2005 ?
