I'm trying to create a custom field type in SharePoint (WSS 3.0) that has custom properties. I have created my fldtypes*.xml file based on the SDK docs and this blog post and it seems to render fine and I can retrieve the custom property values inside my code. My problem is that after the initial field creation, if I go back to the lis...
I have written an IFilter dll that returns text from my application's file format. I registered it on my local system, and Windows Search correctly returns results with it. I registered it on my SharePoint 2007 server, rebooted, and it doesn't seem to find anything inside the file. Documentation says that all I should have to do is to...
In Sharepoint Solutions I can specify the DeploymentServerType for deployment to be either ApplicationServer or WebFrontEnd. Unfortunately, Documentation on this is rather limited. I just wonder: When would I use which option? What if my Solution includes both Timer Jobs (which should go on the App Server?) and Web Parts (which need to ...
I created a basic registration form using a SharePoint 2007 custom list where users complete fields on the form. I created an 'Approver' field that I'm trying to hide from customers so that only the form's approver will edit that field (approve the request - Customers tend to approve their own request). How can I hide this approval field...
In my custom aspx page in WSS I am using a DataFormWebPart with an xsl file to render some data. In order to pass values to the xsl I use parameter bindings. Specifically, I need to pass in the server host url like this: <ParameterBinding Name="HttpHost" Location="CAMLVariable" DefaultValue="http://hardcoded.com" /> Thi...
We're considering switching over to use TFS and the TFS Portal which is based on SharePoint. We've got existing information in various systems and it would be very advantageous if we could consolidate this information into the TFS Portal. I'm wondering are there any tools/methods for importing data into TFS. Things I'm interested in imp...
We're thinking of moving away from Sharepoint 2003 and to HP Quality Center for our requirements tracking system. Is there a way to import our current Sharepoint requirements and user stories to HP Quality Center? Has anyone had any issues/successes with HP Quality Center ...
We are using an infopath form that when submitted is supposed to fire off a custom .NET workflow. Basically, the information within the form is used to create a new sharepoint site. What I am seeing happen is that the first time the workflow runs (which is automatic after the form is submitted), the workflow errors out. When I run the wo...
Background: I deployed reporting services in a sharepoint integrated mode, installed add in and configured reporting services in MOSS, everything is done fine, I am using NTLM authentication, so I replaced the RSWindowsNegotiate with RSWindowsNTLM in the rsreportserver.config file and stepped out from the problem in authorization in Man...
I'm trying to use jQuery to identify <td> elements which contain specific HTML comment text. The standard ":contains" selector doesn't seem to be looking into the comments. My context here is that I want to dynamically add some content to that same td element. Here's a sample of the target td: <TD valign="top" class="ms-formbody" wid...
When I try to retrieve a column which is a hyperlink I get two items that are comma delimited instead of one. When I pull item["ColumnName"] I get its value: http://www.google.com/article/583,%20title%20gets%20stars Why is it showing the link, and title? ...
I have a SharePoint site where clicking "View All Site Content" generates this error: The URL '/sites/foo/bar' is invalid. It may refer to a nonexistent file or folder, or refer to a valid file or folder that is not in the current Web. Any ideas? ...
We have a sharepoint Aspx form that is formatted like an excel spreadsheet. On each row of the form are links that when clicked, launch a script to show new links, allowing the user to add, view, or hide comments. This will appear for each line item clicked on. We would like to remove the "add comment" link from the script, but cannot...
So, it seems in the SharePoint blogosphere that everybody just copies and pastes the same bullet points from other blogs. One bullet point I've seen is that SharePoint site templates are less performant than site definitions because site definitions are stored on the file system. Is that true? It seems odd that site templates would be...
I have a couple of Sharepoint portals (Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 + SQL Server) running and they should both share some commom data. I was planning on working with two separate lists, and build a web app that will be responsible for updating them both throught the WSS Lists Service (">http://server/ vti_bin/lists.asmx). I'm wondering ...
I'm building a custom publishing site definition for MOSS 2007 but I seem to have a problem. The content types that I import don't have any of the page scheduling options available. I've gone over my onet.xml next to the one which the Publishing Site uses (in the BLANKINTERNET folder) and I am putting in all the features which are in th...

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...
Here's the scenario I created a Site which in I used custom lists, webparts, custom developed webparts, workflows et cetera. You can see the site as an application. What I am trying to do is to create a solution package which holds everything I build in that site so that I can give the solution file to an sharepoint administrator who ...
