RE: Best way to query multiple calendars
Hi Ken, Nope. My CAML query builder just imploded from the sheer effort of that. :) What are you using to rollup all the calendars into a single view? A Bamboo Solutions wp?

RE: Best way to query multiple calendars
Hi Paul, Currently I am not rolling them up, I am using Kwizcom's Calendar Plus mini calendars to display booking calendars for all the department cars in one page. So say for finance, they have their own document centre site for their cars (a sub site of cars) in which each car has a calendar. Then on the entry page for that site are mini calendars for every car, so a user can scroll down the page to find a car that is available that day quickly (without going to each calendar separately). I figured rolling up calendars would work to well for a user being able to just quickly see what car was availablewould I be wrong? I'm finding that having multiple mini calendars on a page can really slow its loading time, especially if a user has an older PC. So the main purpose of creating a query tool, was to more readily display to a user which cars are available on a specified time / date range. That being said; I'm open to alternative solutions that might also solve my problem :-) Cheers, Ken Thompson IT Support - Systems Administrator HomeGround Services 68 Oxford Street, Collingwood, VIC 3066 Tel: 03 9288 9668 (Ex 668) Mob: 0404 852 325 Fax: 03 9419 1876 www.homeground.org.au http://www.homeground.org.au From: ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Tuesday, 16 February 2010 8:11 AM To: ozMOSS Subject: RE: Best way to query multiple calendars Hi Ken, Nope.

RE: Best way to query multiple calendars
If you're on using Outlook 2007 have you considered connecting each of the calendars to Outlook and have them display together in calendar overlay mode? Very simple but potentially effective, if clunky and a PITA J If you have any development knowledge, that's the way I'd tackle this; create web part with configurable attached calendars that it will search. In the web part, CAML query the lists, do your date comparisons there and return the links in the web part.

Filter web part with URL params
Hi all, I have a simple article page with a CQWP on it. The articles are divided into a number of categories and I want to re-purpose the page for each of them. I'd like to be able to pass the category filter through as a URL param. Is there some way I can achieve this? My first thought was to try to set the value for a connected filter web part but not sure how to go about it.

Hi everyone, I am newbie to SharePoint, so please bare with my question :-) We have deploy a webpart used in 2 different sites, but in site B we cannot modify the shared webpart to see the properties, etc. We see the usual error An unexpected error has occurred., trying to open the page using SharePoint Designer, it complains that the master page is invalid.

What kind of web part is it? You can modify the web.config file for the web app to get more info out of it by following this post: http://vspug.com/michael/2007/06/28/sharepoint-under-the-hood-see-real-e rror-description-and-callstack-stack-trace/ This will tell you a bit more, however I wouldn't do it on a production box.

Come west - SharePoint 2010 bootcamps in perth
Hiya * blatant plug alert * I met Steve Smith of Combined Knowledge last year in New Zealand. He's been busy doing 2010 training for Microsoft staff all around the place. I asked him offhand to run that same SP2010 Dev and ITPro sessions in Perth and he accepted. As a result, Perth will host the first Combined Knowledge Sp2010 bootcamps and for the first time since federation itself, Perth gets to host something first! :-) So I am putting the call out to you eastern stater's to do what us poor old west aussies have always had to do. Get on a plane! If you want to be part of the first CK bootcamps to be held in Australia for SP2010 then take a look at the details I have provided below. http://www.sevensigma.com.au/2010/02/07/first-ever-sharepoint-2010-training- courses-2/ regards Paul ___ ozmoss mailing list ozmoss@ozmoss.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozmoss
RE: Filter web part with URL params
I don't think you can do it OOTB, but there was a sub-classed version of this web part on Codeplex (developed by the Microsoft for their internal use) that included this functionality.
