I'm using IIS in Windows 2003 Server for a SharePoint intranet. External incoming requests will be using the host header portal.mycompany.com and be forced to use SSL. I was wondering if there's a way to set up an alternate host header such as <http://internalportal/> which only accepts requests from the internal network, but doesn't...
We have a SharePoint WSS site and some of our users on on the Mac OSX platform. Are there any tips or tricks to get a similar experience to Windows with document shares and calendars on the Mac? Edit: Browsing a SharePoint WSS site on a Mac, whether using Firefox or Safari, has a very similar look and feel as it does on Windows IE. Th...
Is it possible, in Windows XP, to copy files to a Network Place from the command line, a batch file or, even better, a PowerShell script? What sent me down this road of research was trying to publish files to a WSS 3.0 document library from a user's machine. I can't map a drive to the library in question because the WSS site is only ava...
I have been using Inside MS Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 by Ted Pattison to help me crack into WSS Development. It has been an excellent developer start, but now that I'm moving beyond I need some more referencey type of information. I would normally just use MSDN, but I find it severely lacking in some of the examples, for instan...
We're using Forms Authentication in SharePoint. When the account is created, the administrator can add some information, like name and address. But the required fields are username and email address. When a user goes to their profile page, all the fields are blank and they are unable to edit them. I have read a number of articles dis...
What is the best way to upload a file to a Document Library on a SharePoint server through the built-in web services that version WSS 3.0 exposes? Following the two initial answers... We definitely need to use the Web Service layer as we will be making these calls from remote client applications. The WebDAV method would work for us, b...
I'm trying to retrieve a user on sharepoint's user photo through the WSS 3.0 object model. I've been browsing the web for solutions, but so far I've been unable to find a way to do it. Is it possible, and if so how? ...
Hello, I installed WSS Infrastructure Update and MOSS Infrastructure Update (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/sharepointserver/bb735839.aspx) and now I can't restore the content database on an older version. Do you know if there is a way to uninstall it ? ...
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...
I have a document library with about 50 available content types. This document library is divided into several folders. When a user cliks the "New" button in a folder, all available content types are offered. I need to limit the content types according to the folder. For example, in the folder "Legal" a want to have only content types c...
From what I have gleaned from reflector, RunWithElevatedPriveleges simply reverts the current thread identity to the base (non-impersonated) identity. This makes perfect sense in the case of code running inside the WSS application pool, since the base service account is a super-user. Does it have any effect when running in an external ...
I have created a hierarchy of content types. The root of my hierarchy has the content type "Document" as a parent. There are about 20 other content types derived from my root. Now, I want to change the parent from "Document" to something else. Is it possible? Either in the web interface or in code? Can the definition of content types be...
Hello, I'm running a SharePoint Application on a MOSS 2007 with a form based user authentication without using the MySite feature. So all the settings on the SSP administration site which only concern the user profile on the MySites should normally not affect the user profile of the application as these should be managed from WSS. But ...
We have a SharePoint Team Site (WSS 3.0 not MOSS), that includes Tasks list to records every tasks related to a project. Here's the scenario. Users : List item Supervisor1 TeamMember1 TeamMember2 TeamMember3 How do we set the permission settings so that Every users (Supervisor and team members) can see any tasks. Supervisors can ...
I have installed a hotfix package for Sharepoint and after that I found out that there was another for WSS... I understand that, as long that we have separate hotfixes for WSS and Sharepoint, if for solving one problem, there aren't both Sharepoint and WSS hotfixes (I mean, that one component is only affected by the WSS one), I can norm...
There's Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) and then there is Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS). MOSS considerably more expensive than WSS (which ships as part of Microsoft Server licensing). My question is: what does MOSS do that makes it worth the extra cost? ..and does Microsoft Search Server not compete with the Business D...
Our organization started on the SharePoint path about two years ago. Before that, we (the developers) wrote mostly asp.net front ends for SQL back ends. Now it seems like every time a new project comes up, we are asked to “make” it fit in SharePoint; and we have stuffed some things into SharePoint that probably should have been stand a...
I need to do some work with a backup WSS .dat file and I'm having real trouble making it do anything. I've got it installed through stsadm and that appears to have gone smoothly, but the site now redirects me to an error page - just the classic "File Not Found" one, but in the URL it suggests the errortext would be "Class not Registered...
This may seem a bit trivial, but I have not been able to figure it out. I am opening up a SPSite and then trying to open up a SPWeb under that SPSite. This is working fine on the VPC, which has the same Site Collection/Site hierarchy, but on production, I get an exception telling me that the URL is invalid when I try the SPSite.OpenWeb...
So I've created a custom RenderingTemplate and deployed it to CONTROLTEMPLATES\MyControlTemplates\ It basically dictates how a custom content type that i've created should be rendered when displayed. For that I've added this: <FormTemplates xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3/contenttype/forms"> <Display>CustomDispF...
