We'd like to build a custom type - or simply add custom columns to an existing type - that can be displayed in regular lists (or document library) without requiring a special page or grid view. This column retrieves complex/structured data from an external service and exposes it as the column's "value". I realize that this will prevent...
I need to add a custom menu action to a custom content type programmatically in c#. This is because I will not know the URL I need to link to beforehand. The URL to link to will be pulled from configuration when the feature is activated. I have tried the following: Added the CustomAction in my Element.xml file as: <CustomAction I...
Hello, if the server doesn't send the content-type header, how does the browser tell which kind of content he got? For example, when I get the SO logo with chrome, the image is intact, though the server doesn't state its extension (at least, explicitly) ...

I am posting a .zip file from the iPhone to a Rails server using an NSURLRequest. The problem is that the content-type of the zip file is lost in-transit. When I upload the same zip file from a web-browser to Rails, the content-type is preserved. This leads me to believe it's related to the way I'm sending it from the iPhone. Does anyone...
I have a Rails app that's getting hit by ScanAlert calling /login.php, but the app is throwing a 500. I'd like to filter any format that's not supported by my site, and 404 instead. My original inclination was to create a before_filter in application_controller.rb that removes any :format that's not :html, :xml, or :js, then render 404....
I'm fighting with a third-party ActiveX control that we are using to load TIFF images into the client browser from an ASP.Net(3.5) web form. The ActiveX control registers itself correctly (as far as I can tell) as the MIME handler for TIFF images and works correctly every time a file is double-clicked locally. However, IE6 and the Acti...
I wound up modifying the source from a publically posted POC: http://datacogs.com/datablogs/archive/2007/08/26/641.aspx, which is a custom field definition for cascading drop downs. The modifications were to allow parent-child list boxes where a user can multiselect for filtering and selecting the values to be written back to a SharePoin...
On my project there're various search results of different content-types. For unimportant reasons, not all content-types carry a unique ID. However, I tried to write this loop that will detect IDless content-types, and will give them a unique ID. Basically, the results look like this: Category ID 3 Category ID 3 Category ID 4 NON-ID C...
I created a new content type, so it wants me to rebuild content permissions. I clicked the link to do so. It progressed through but seemed to get hung up towards the end. It stayed in the same position for 20 minutes, so hit refresh. I got the following error message: The content access permissions have not been properly rebuilt. What ...

Hi there, Attempting to use asp.net mvc's Action Result of File. So it would seem that I have to specify a ContentType for the file to be sent to the browser. Currently there is no real limit to what types of files may be sent to the browser in my application, so I can't always assume it will be a "text/pdf", for example. What's the b...
