Hi guys, I was wondering, are you aware of any best practice for specifying absolute URLs in external javascript files? I'm looking for a maintainable solution. The basic scenario is when i need to include css files at run-time through javascript, or make ajax calls to some URL, and other situations where you would normally need to spe...
That's the title of kb947284 actually. Recently I was involved in a Sharepoint project. I run into this problem where my workflow does not start automatically. If I run the workflow manually, it's just fine. I found kb947284. Apparently the cause of this problem is the installation of WSS 3 SP1. I did what it said in the Resolution secti...
With MOSS 2007 (the question is probably applicable to WSS as well but I'm working in MOSS at the moment) is it possible to have the same Workflow on every Pages list within the site collection? We're deploying a site with a basic 2-stage approver workflow so I'm not developing a custom one, just using the existing Approver workflow but...
I've got a 'git-svn' working tree. I'd like to clone a "pure" git repo off this, and then use git push/pull to move changes between the git-svn tree and the git tree, while also using 'git svn dcommit/rebase' to move changes between the git-svn tree and the SVN repo it's based on. This seems to work okay as far as moving things back and...
One chapter in Pragmatic Programmer recommends looking at a blackboard/space-based architecture + a rules engine as a more flexible alternative to a traditional workflow system. The project I'm working on currently uses a workflow engine, but I'd like to evaluate alternatives. I really feel like a SBA would be a better solution to our b...

I get that the user could just click on the document template for each template individual but I want them added all the time. There doesn't seem to be an option to add template d...
We have a new for a fairly simple workflow system, specifically focused upon business documents. It essentially accepts different types of documents (purchase requests, invoices, etc) and routes them to different roles and flows based on variables attached to them (total dollar amount, etc). I'm open to either using an existing one or w...
Trying to find some examples on the intertubes. I am thinking of state or strategy pattern but if anyone has any war stories, examples or resources that they could point me to it would be appreciated. I don't/can't use windows workflow.

I've got a contract to write part of a program. The person writing the other part is in another city. I want to find a convenient way to send changes back and forth. For other reasons, I'd like to learn to use git as a distributed VCS and email changes back and forth. (I've worked with SCCS, RCS, and PVCS before, always with locking. I w...
Hi there, as most of us surely do every now and then, I try to improve my workflow. As Eclipse is my main IDE, I wondered if it may be possible to use it without mouse. I browsed the available shortcuts and tried to use them instead of my mouse. I found interesting features like Ctrl+3 which opens something like the Apple spotlight. I ...

The user opens the infopath form, reviews and picks one of several options: re-submit, archive, escalate, etc. My question is how best to workflow this? Do you have the buttons on the form up...

We’re trying to lessen the amount of clicks to approve a PDF in a workflow. With Word docs in Word 2007, you have the Workflow task bar at the top of the application so when you are viewing the document, you can approve or reject it from there. Our issue is that we need this functionality for PDF documents. Do you know of a way to be abl...

What is your method of "mapping out" an idea before creating it? Say I wanted to take on a big project, for example at the scale of a site like Facebook or MySpace. What planning/design steps should I take before I start the actual work? For example, should I map everything out page by page (their functionalities, data, etc.)? ...
I need to write a very simple WinForms application, but I often get stuck in over analytical mode with these. I get stuck on Yes, No, Retry loops, and with very little thinking to do about the actions of the application, I start thinking about the 'workflow' of the application. Should I just have a method for each task, and call each one...

What is the best pattern/practice to get the value of that property while in the code of the workflow host (ASP.NET app in this case) at any point? I looked into the CallExt...
