How do I make open “read only” the only option within a SharePoint document library?

Modifying the document library permissions to only allo...
I have a custom (code-based) workflow, deployed in WSS via features in a .wsp file. The workflow is configured with a custom task content type (ie, the Workflow element contains a TaskListContentTypeId attribute). This content type's declaration contains a FormUrls element pointing to a custom task edit page. When the workflow attempts...

We have a medium sized .js file that we include in our web framework that I am porting over to SharePoint. However, I'm not sure how to go about this or what the best practice is. This is for a framework solution that will be used by other client projects, so it's best for it to be self contained and deploy-able, rather than requiring ma...

I'm using a FullTextSqlQuery in SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) and need to order the results by two columns: SELECT WorkId FROM SCOPE() ORDER BY Author ASC, Rank DESC However it seems that only the first column from ORDER BY is taken into account when returning results.

So I have a form that uses infopath services via sharepoint, and after multiple attempts at attempting to fix a rendering problem (tables appear WAY too wide to be readable), I think I have found the problem : date controls. It seems date controls within Infopath 2007 screw with rendering somehow. To test, I made 2 variations of a VER...
It is a real pain to deploy my InfoPath 2007 Forms from the designer into our development environment's SharePoint server. All of our forms require "full trust" since they include business logic written in C#. Here are the manual steps: 1) Run the "Publish Form" wizard in InfoPath, specifying the target site to publish to and location...

When is this?! Without knowin...

In SharePoint, it is easy to set up a List webpart consisting of Links to other documents, folders, sites, etc. Unfortunately, when clicking these links, the default behavior is for the page to open in the current browser window. That is, it does NOT open the page in a new instance of the browser. This has proven annoying for a number...
