Workflows, Stats and ... Videos!
Hiya, I have a client who is looking at using WebEx to host videos and track number of hits (like youtube) and who viewed them. I'm looking at using SharePoint to host videos instead. I've been looking into how we can meet requirements, such as show how many times a video has been viewed and information on who viewed it and when. How can I best achieve this as I can't see a solution that I can recommend online? I was thinking maybe if I had a SharePoint list which is populated via a workflow once a video has been viewed fully and record information such as time, user name and video URL? Thanks, Uzma ___ ozmoss mailing list ozmoss@ozmoss.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozmoss
Re: Workflows, Stats and ... Videos!
SharePoint 2010 EE has web analytic feature, I haven't worked with it so not sure if it can track the things you are after OOTB. For ideas.. you can also have a look at http://pks.codeplex.com/ .. which Retrieve instant ROI and metrics with the ability to track the number of podcasts downloaded and/or viewed, instant feedback via rating system and comments, and subscribers via the RSS feed On Wed, Mar 9, 2011 at 1:35 AM, Uzma Naz uz_my_...@hotmail.com wrote: Hiya, I have a client who is looking at using WebEx to host videos and track number of hits (like youtube) and who viewed them.

RE: Linking lists
Hi Daniel Thanks for the link. I know this work for new lists, but when I am importing a linked table from access after I add the lookup column its obviously empty. I was more after how can I programatically perhaps enforce something like table 1 join table 2 where t1key = t2key set t1value = t2value I suppose I could do this in the access database before importing the data? But I don't think converting the column to a lookup field would then work...

(rocks back and forth), a lot of places are still on 2007, but there is a move to SP2010 which has been building steady for awhile now, I would say it's pretty much how new SP are well and truly done these days, unless there are requirements not to. Lookup Fields are what you are after, You simply create a column in your desired list (table a) of type lookup, select the list (table b) and what you want for the ID/Value and done. A good example is at http://phase2.com/blog/?p=101 Hope this helps :) Cheers, Daniel From: ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Marko Salonen Sent: Tuesday, 8 March 2011 5:31 PM To: ozMOSS Subject: Linking lists Hi all I have been away from SharePoint for a bit (almost a year), and I am guessing most places have gone to 2010? Anybody other than where I work still using 2007? Nice to be back in the world of SharePoint anyway... I have a requirement to import some old access databases into SharePoint lists and I am wondering how to link the tables in SharePoint? Specifically if Table 1 has a column A that is the value from Table 2 column B how can I get it to lookup the value? Cheers!

RE: attachments issue in DVWP, published page vs draft
I wish I could help with this - because that would mean I'd actually got it
working this side. It works fine until I save the page template, and then I get
'unspecified errors'.
What I'm trying to do sounds similar to your solution - I'll be interested to
see if I end up with the same problem or not.

Subject: attachments issue in DVWP, published page vs draft
Hi.
I've got a single item DVWP displaying items from a list (we get the ID of the
item to display from a query string parameter), it also displays the attachment
using this;
xsl:element name=SharePoint:AttachmentsField
xsl:attribute name=runatserver/xsl:attribute
xsl:attribute
name=ListId{C0FB9150-7B78-4831-9098-8CE6CD7D31F3}/xsl:attribute
xsl:attribute
name=FieldNameAttachments/xsl:attribute
xsl:attribute
name=ControlModeDisplay/xsl:attribute
xsl:attribute name=Visibletrue/xsl:attribute
xsl:attribute name=ItemIdxsl:value-of
select=@ID//xsl:attribute
/xsl:element
We have the problem that when the page the DVWP is in draft, it displays the
correct attachments for all items.
When the page is published it will display the correct attachments for the
first item you view, then go on to show those same attachments for all other
items. It will 'reset' itself when recycle the app pool.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan.

RE: MultiColumn Custom Field Problem
Couple of downsides of related field property to keep in mind: 1. In my experience the RelatedField property breaks site templates, as its not part of the schema. 2. The only way to display the value of the related field in list view is to use CAML DisplayPatterns that are now deprecated. If you try to use XSL rendering for the field you cannot get the VALUE of the related field if it is not already in the view - so no matter how good your XPATH skills are, you can't make a custom field that renders the contents of a related field if the related field is not in the view. Where does this leave you? * Use standard custom properties on your custom field to store the name(s) of your related field(s). * Use the related fields in the list views to enable sorting/grouping/filtering, while using the custom field in the new/edit/display forms.
