I have an http module on a sharepoint site and this module instantiates a custom class and add it to the session and does other initial things for my site. However, I'm noticing that the http module is being called for all request types (.aspx, .js, .png, .jpg). Is there any way to have an http module only be called for .net specific pa...

I have two Sharepoint lists: - Assignments - Activities The activities list has a lookup field to the assignments list as activities (e.g. monthly review of X) are related to an assignment. My question is, how would I display other fields from Assignments in a view of Activities using standard Sharepoint 2007 (we have restrictions ...
Is it even possible? So far, I found that we can buy TypeMock to mock the SharePoint objects and then use any free Mocking framework (Moq?) to do the rest of the job. What do you think? It seams that without TypeMock, it's impossible to do unit test within SharePoint. To properly test our events, we need to give the event a SPItemEve...

So basically we want to have one Site Def. for each and when they press "My Site" we want to create a new site using a different template depending on the role of the user (Student vs. Teacher). Does anybody know if this is even possible? Or any ...

We use Sharepoint as CMS for our webpages at work. I know how to create controls that can be only visible if you have logged in in SharePoint with: <Sharepoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl ID="SPSecurityTrimmedControl1" runat="server" PermissionsString="AddAndCustomizePages"><br /> <Sharepoint:CssLink ID="CssLink1" runat="server"/><br /> <...
We have a site that needs to (as part of our process) generate a document (e.g. Word docx document) that is derived from data within our application merged with a template document. This document can be edited at run time by the user after it is generated. We know we are looking at a CMS like system (since the users will need to be abl...
Hey everyone, I’m trying to publish an InfoPath form to a SharePoint document library, and have the form be viewable in a web browser. The problem is that in the InfoPath publishing wizard tells me that although the form is browser compatible, that it cannot be browser enabled because of one of the following: The Server is not runnin...
Hi All: Here is my problem: I am a Sharepoint newbie, but ironically I am a Sharepoint Administrator right now? In my company we have around 200 employees. I created accounts for all of them, but I need to help them change their passwords as they prefer to use their favorite passwords. I was just wondering: is there any way they can ch...

Hi, We are trying to clean up our SharePoint (MOSS 2007) environment. As of right now, our developers, System Administrators and Content Administrators all have "Full Access" rights to the root site (and just about everything underneath it) in our production environment. I think that is a terrible practice and feel confident that our...
I've got a situation where I want to have a master list at the top level of a Sharepoint site, and then allow the sub-sites to see the master list. I've tried working with Content Types, and either I'm slow and just can't get the concept, or it doesn't seem to apply. Anyone have any luck? ...
How can I use SharePoint's Content Approval to enforce the rule that any two people in a group can make a change? We have a policy library that any two individuals can update (a modifier and an approver). If I do a group parallel approval, the modifier can approve their own work (I believe). Unfortunately, I don't have access to Visu...
I need to locate the table that contains the Content Source Name (along with the ContentSourceId) in the SSP Search Database (OR anywhere else that it gets stored in). I may be able to access this via the SharePoint Object Model, but I want it via the db table access (This is not a good practice according to Microsoft). We looked in all ...
I'm finding it really difficult to find an introduction to the object model used within Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2007. For some reason, the online help if full of "Page not found". I suspect it's similar to the object model used in Internet Explorer DOM. The reference manual is in MSDN online (but not in my local copy) but as with m...
