SharePoint 2007 SP2 – az első reakciók
Első, és legfontosabb: aki Nintex Workflow-t használ, NE telepítse az SP2-t, ugyanis kompatibilitási problémákat okoz! Remélhetőleg hamarosan megjelenik az update. Bővebb infó itt.
A SharePoint AdminWikin Jeremy összegyűjtötte azokat a file-okat, melyek frissülnek/módosulnak/újak az SP2 telepítése után.
Penny pedig azt gyűjtötte össze, melyik SharePoint verziószám pontosan milyen update szintet takar.
Folyt. köv., én is most állok neki telepíteni néhány szerverre…

Here are the symptoms: I went to SharePoint Designer 2007, opened NewForm.aspx, deleted the ListFormWebPart web part from it and inserted a Custom List Form (Insert/SharePoint Controls/Custom List Form). Then, I saved it. After I went back to my list and clicked on <New> to create a new item, I got the following popup: "Invalid page URL:" and that's it. The other symptom I found was that when I clicked on the items already created to see them (DispForm.aspx), I got a page with the following text: "An unexpected error has occurred.", with no further information. I then browsed to NewForm.aspx, which worked well. So, the problem should be something like SharePoint can't find where to go to create a new item.

The Content Type Toolbar is a simple add-on that will enhance the use of SharePoint Content Types in large deployments.
The use of content types in SharePoint 2007 has a number of benefits and businesses may spend a considerable amount of time planning and deploying content type to help support their business processes. Unfortunately, the default methods of using content types may not be intuitive for most users who do not have experience with SharePoint. This problem will lead to content types not being used or being neglected by the end users. This can be avoided by training your end users, but it may be sometime before all your users receive the appropriate level of training, so in the meantime the content types are still neglected.

Reduce Man Hours by allowing faster locating of information
2. Reduce Man Hours by increasing use of electronic forms
3. Reduce Costs of stationary by increasing use of electronic forms
4. Reduce Licensing Costs for 3rd Party business systems (SharePoint can replace many of these systems)
5. Reduce Costs of development work for 3rd Party business systems
6. Reduce IT Support Costs
7. Reduce IT Training Costs
8. Reduce Website Costs (using SharePoint system both Intranet and website).
9. Reduce response times to Sales leads (employees can access SharePoint remotely)
10. Reduce response times to possible problems (with ProActive Alerts with SharePoint Workflow) -
With the current economy, projects such as those involving SharePoint will most likely be cut unless they can be associated with cost reduction or some sort of ROI. For example, helping to reduce travel costs. Combine SharePoint with OCS and LiveMeeting and you have a solution that can help reduce travel costs in some cases.
So if you want to enter this space, what do you need to do and when can you expect results? Here are some points to think about before making the move:
-
Frequently changing farm credentials and security account passwords are important measures for keeping a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) farm secure. Yet for administrators, these tasks are tedious and repetitive. The tools are difficult to use, the underlying processes are complex, good documentation is hard to find, and there is a certain risk of corrupting the server farm even when following all of the proper procedures.

I have been hearing more and more questions recently about Active Directory migrations with relation to SharePoint deployments. It could be from some organizational changes, or because business managers just like to keep people busy.
When I had to go through this process during the summer of 2008 I found much less information that I expected so I had to work through some of the problems myself. Here is the result of what I found. Hopefully it can assist other organizations in the process.
I have broken everything into five steps; Prep, Server Move, Service Updates, Migrating User Accounts, and Post-Migration Validation.

I have a bunch of documents that need to be audited every six months. Is there a way that a reminder can be set up to remind the owner of the document that its time to review the document?
Laura Rogers suggested the following for Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007:
If you have MOSS, you can use the information management policy settings in the document library. You can set it to: Modified Date + 6 months. Then, make it kick off a workflow at that point. Use an OOB one, or create your own "review" workflow that will "Collect data from a user" in the workflow.
Maurice is using WSS so here is a solution to utilitze on top of WSS.

This tool provides a way to import/export site collections, webs, lists, and files or list items, either between farms or between different sites in the same farm - the Codeplex site has more details. As previously mentioned, the key new additional functionality in this release is:
* Command-line support
* Support for saving of import/export settings to a file (in the Windows Forms app) for later re-use
* An installer -
A tag cloud is merely a collection of terms, typically used as "tags" or "keywords". These terms are represented graphically. Font sizes are increased for popular tags and decreased for less popular tags. A tag cloud is a "heat map" for keywords, enabling users at a glance to scan a list of terms and derive a sense of what's hot and what's not.

The nice thing is that the policy framework is an extensibly framework, so you can write your own information management policies. This will be the first of a number of posts on this topic. The first part shows you how to create and register a policy so that it can be used. The scenario I used for this example is not very useful, but I wanted to have a simple policy to start with.

Today I came across a requirement of showing an swf file in the webpart. So I thought I will upload the swf file in folder and give its url to the webpart. But then that will be hardcoded path. What will happen if the user deleted that folder or rather deleted that file itself? So my webpart will not run.
So I found some alternative to this and thought of embedding my swf file and js file in webpart itself. I googled on how can I do this, and here are the steps for embedding the files in the webpart itself.

"The transaction log for database 'tempdb' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases"
Usually the crawler will use the Temp DB while indexing, it will then flush this data to the file system and clear the Temp database. -
This web part provides a ‘newsticker’ for SharePoint, although it’ll actually query for news, documents, or anything else you can query for with the Content Query Web Part (CQWP). In fact, it’s just a configuration of the CQWP, which also uses jQuery for animation and stuff. Typically web sites use this for displaying news or announcements, but you can use it to query for any SharePoint content type(s), as you would with the Content Query Web Part.

Office 14: 2010 első felében
“Microsoft is set to announce Wednesday that Office 2010 will be finished and ready to send to manufacturers in the first half of next year.”
(…)
“Office 2010 — previously known by the code name "Office 14" — will include slimmed-down versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote that let people create and edit documents in a Web browser. Consumers will have access to a free, ad-supported version, and Capossela said the company is still hammering out what to charge businesses that want a version without ads.”
Vagyis még kb. egy év, hogy publikusan is elérhető legyen az új verzió. És igen, lesz ingyenes, “reklámbanneres” Office.

SharePoint Best Practices Conference, London
Április elején zajlott Londonban a Best Practices Conference, amiről túlzások nélkül állíthatom, hogy az általam eddig itthon és külföldön látott-tapasztalt konferenciák legjobbika volt: szenzációs helyszín (hotel a Buckingham Palotánál, konferenciaközpont a Westminster Apátság tövében), profi szervezés, gördülékeny lebonyolítás, mindig-minden-a-helyén érzés előadóként és résztvevőként is, magas színvonalú, tartalmas előadások, érdeklődő és aktív résztvevők (480+ fő), stb.
Le a kalappal a szervezők munkája előtt!
Jómagam két előadást tartottam, s be kell vajjam: némi extra szervezést-tervezést igényelt, hogy hogyan valósítható meg mindez egy 10 hetes bébivel. Végül az egész család jött velem, s míg én előadást tartottam, kislányom s fiam mellett Apa volt a “babysitter”.
Előadásaim slide-jait le is tölthetitek, s reményeim szerint hamarosan itthon is lesz alkalom, ahol bemutathatom őket (részletek hamarosan!):
És hogy mi a következő? Már meghirdetésre került az újabb Best Practices Conference: augusztus 24-26, Washington DC. Ezúttal nemcsak SharePoint, hanem SQL témákkal is!
[FONTOS] SharePoint és Office 2007 SP2

Friss: Dokumentumkezelő rendszerek (DMS) integrációja SharePoint 2007 alá
A napokban jelent meg: Integrating document management systems into Microsoft SharePoint 2007“
When choosing integration, first ask yourself what you’ll need to integrate. Documents are more than simple files. Their file format (.doxc, .txt, .pdf, etc.), content and metadata are also important. Decent DMS software handles those parts and makes them available to end users. Also determine what type of integration will best meet your business needs.“
Következő alkalommal ugyanitt ECM cikkel jelentkezem.

SharePoint has quite a few different drop down menus, within this post I will highlight the three primary drop downs and the CSS that drives it:
- Main navigation
- Site Actions
- Document dropdown + WebPart dropdown
