RE: CSOM - Syntactic issue with retrieved CAML query from list view

[James Boman]

Paul,
  Using the JSOM for this is hard work.

I would fire off a REST request like this:

https://tenant.sharepoint.com/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/ListName/$count?$filter=Field
 eq Value

You should get back just the number of rows that match the filter.  No XML or 
JSON to worry about – just a number.

Cheers,
  J

Subject: CSOM - Syntactic issue with retrieved CAML query from list view

Hi all,

Long time no speak! :)

I'm trying to retrieve the number of list items in a specified list view via 
JavaScript.

The problem is that the get_viewQuery method does not return a valid CAML query.

What it returns is:

 \

 

 

   
   

  

What I need is:


 \

 
 

  
 
 
  

 


Apparently this issue also applies to C#.

The only solution I've found is to wrap the returned CAML like so:

viewQuery = String.format("{0}", 
view.get_viewQuery());

But this is limited and not does not allow for OrderBy, ViewFields and other 
possibilities.

Has anyone hit this before and found a viable solution?

Cheers,

Paul

OK. Making progress. I'm now getting stuck on two things.


1.   The username is being passed into the function as a string. Because 
domain\first.last contains a backslash,  Javascript is seeing it as 
domainfirst.last. So I need to pass the original value in as domain\\first.last.

Currently I'm passing it in raw from a MenuItemTemplateItem like so:

FollowMe.ClientOnClickScript = getFollowingStatus('%UserName%');

And Username is defined in my entity as:

emp.UserName = (String)profile[PropertyConstants.AccountName].Value;

2.  I can't seem to get the following status for my actorInfo. :\ Has anyone 
had any success with this?

// Get the current client context.
   clientContext = SP.ClientContext.get_current();

   // Get the SocialFeedManager instance.
   followingManager = new SP.Social.SocialFollowingManager(clientContext);

   // Create a SocialActorInfo object to represent the target user.
   actorInfo = new SP.Social.SocialActorInfo();
   actorInfo.set_accountName(user);

   // Find out whether the current user is following the target user.
 isFollowed = followingManager.isFollowed(actorInfo);
Any help appreciated.

RE: Passing query string param to filter expression on ObjectDataSource

[James Boman]

Paul I think the click handler would be too late.  I think you want to do it in 
the initial pre-render

The life cycle would then be:


1.   User clicks search in search webpart, cause navigation to URL with k 
in query string

2.   Your onload/prerender runs, receives the k param, filters the dataset, 
renders the result back out to the user, sets the postbackurl on the search 
button
(k param is visible in the URL bar at this point)

3.   User clicks on the search button in your custom webpart, the postback 
url does not include the k param because it has a custom postback url.

4.   Your onload/prerender runs (there is no k param this time), normal 
search activities are processed and results rendered to the user.
(k param disappears)

If the objective is for the user ever to see the k parameter then you can add 
to the above solution with javascript to hide it using 
pushstatehttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/API/DOM/Manipulating_the_browser_history:

Example:
Suppose http://mozilla.org/foo.html executes the following JavaScript:
var stateObj = { foo: bar };
history.pushState(stateObj, page 2, bar.html);
This will cause the URL bar to display http://mozilla.org/bar.html, but won't 
cause the browser to load bar.html or even check that bar.html exists.

Cheers,
  James.

That makes sense. I initially had it redirecting.

Would it be just as good to add the query string check into the click handler 
for the Search button?
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(queryString)) {
  Button1.PostBackUrl = queryString;

And would Request.QueryString.Remove(k) be just as effective?

RE: Use a newtwork share as the source for a document library

[James Boman]

Paul,

Does using SharePoint synch button on a library physically copy the entire 
library to the local PC?

Yes - as far as I know it will copy the entire library to the local machine for 
offline use.  Dumping of files into the same path will cause OneDrive for 
Business upload them in the background.  I find this feature very handy.

Can I specify a UNC path to a remote server using FILESTREAM?

From my understanding, the FILESTREAM feature of SQL server is an 
implementation (not the only one) of the BLOB storage API in SharePoint.  A 
document library in a content database with FILESTREAM enabled behaves no 
differently from a user point of view.  While you can see the filesystem that 
SQL uses to store the BLOBs, you can't/shouldn't make changes to that 
filesystem.  Mapping of UNC paths would continue to work the same way it does 
for all document libraries (via WebDAV) using open in explorer mode ribbon 
button or using the connect to website feature in the map drive dialog.

RE: SP2013 CUs and SPs

[James Boman]

You are lucky - I have seen SP1 and later CU's take 6 hours to install and 
another 3 hours on the PT wizard.

It does depend to some extent on how much content needs to be upgraded, and if 
you have search deployed.

Thanks James. That was my understanding too.

I had run the wizard after the last round of Windows Updates but these patches 
all had RTM version, which is what led me to download and install SP1 manually. 
Only took half an hour and no restart required. Most surprised!

Paul,
  YES - AFAIK, and regardless of the binary patches you install - 
the version in your database will not be updated until you run the PT wizard 
on the servers which then upgrades the database to match.

RE: Workflow Manager in multi-server farm

Paul,

Like OWA, ideally you would install Workflow Manager on a separate server to 
the SharePoint Farm, but if you have to use a server that is also a SharePoint 
Farm member then choose an APP server so that the latency of user web requests 
are not affected.

When you have more than one Workflow Manager server, you group them into Farms 
just like SharePoint and OWA servers are grouped into their own Farms.

For reasons that are not clear to me (perhaps some sort of quorum system) high 
availability scenarios are only available for Workflow Manager when you have 
odd numbers of Workflow Manager servers.

From msdn:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj193451(v=azure.10).aspx
High Availability

Workflow Manager farm supports a farm of a single computer running both 
Workflow Manager farm and the required Service Bus farm. If you require high 
availability you must expand the farm to three computers. Refer to Joining an 
Existing 
Farmhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj193433(v=azure.10).aspx on how 
to expand farm. Two node farms cannot guarantee high availability.

Workflow Manager only supports a farm with 1 computer or a farm with 3

Which completely contradicts

...if you have a farm that contains five servers ...you will still need to

And nowhere does it mentions what DBs are created, or whether you also need to 
install it on the SQL server.

Can someone who has been through this installation please help clarify?

RE: InfoPath form upgrade support for next version of SharePoint

Paul,

If I were you - I would wait.

Two reasons:

-  InfoPath will be fully supported until 2023.

-  The next version of SharePoint includes FoSL (Forms over 
SharePoint Lists).  This is essentially a port of the Access Services forms 
designer to work on top of standard SharePoint lists.  Once this is available, 
then people can re-author their customised SharePoint list forms.

RE: [SP2013] Duplicate Database Servers in Servers in Farm

I have done this before on 2007 (a long time ago now) and the general strategy 
was to backup all the databases, restore them onto the new database server, and 
then use a STSADM command to rename the database server.  This then changed all 
references to the database server to the new server.

After a quick look the STSADM command appears to have been migrated to 
powershell herehttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607556.aspx.

Subject: [SP2013] Duplicate Database Servers in Servers in Farm

Hi all,

So I've inherited a 2013 farm in my new role and it has a number of issues. :)

One of my efforts to resolve SQL latency is to move all SP databases from a 
shared instance and onto a new server.

I've done this before in a properly configured farm without issue by following 
the usual steps. However, my Servers in Farm screen lists two instances of the 
same database server: by IP address and by server name.

Most of the content databases use the IP address, as do Search and other 
services. The add Content Database screen also uses the IP address be default.

So what to do? And what are the possible ramifications?


·   Can I simply create an Alias for each in CLICONFG?

·   Is there a way to easily identify all instances of the server name use 
and change these to the IP address (or vice versa) via Powershell?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Paul

RE: some event receivers not firing when scanning into sharepoint

[James Boman]

Ishai,
  I have experienced this problem when uploading files via the 
object model on the server.

I found the cause of the problem was that my process was being terminated too 
quickly.  My main thread was uploading files, and the event handlers were 
running as additional threads for my process. (Not in w3wp, but in the process 
using the object model to upload the files).

I found that if I let the thread wait around a bit before terminating it - the 
event handlers would have a chance to finish processing.

Hope that helps.

Hi everyone!

I have a client who uses ABBYY - a scanning and ocr solution that supports 
sharepoint. My issue is that when the software uploads a scanned document to my 
document library, some of my event handlers do not fire - while others do. This 
is regardless to sequence (I tried to put one that doesn't fire as higher 
sequence) or errors (the verbose logging shows the event handler doesn't even 
kick off).

If I upload a file to the library using the browser UI, the event handlers all 
kick in, no issues. Same if I use code to move files around.



So - can anyone think what I can do to troubleshoot this? Did anyone have a 
similar experience?

RE: Question on sharepoint 2013 with SSL offloading

[James Boman]

My advice to customers is to avoid SSL offloading if you want any of the 
advanced integration features of SharePoint 2013.  From TechNet on Exchange 
Integrationhttp://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj552524(office.15).aspx:

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) configured for the Default Zone is a requirement for 
web applications that are deployed in scenarios that support server-to-server 
authentication and app authentication. This is such a scenario. As a 
prerequisite for configuring Site Mailboxes, the computer that is running 
SharePoint Server must have SSL configured. For more information, see Create 
claims-based web applications in SharePoint 
2013http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ee806885.aspx and follow the 
steps for creating an SSL site collection and server certificate.

There are other scenarios with Project Server 2013 where SSL offloading is also 
not supported.

Cheers,
  James.

RE: Content deployment question

There could be lots of reasons for that.

Two that spring to mind are:

· the CQWP is set to query a Content Type and your Content Type GUID's 
may not be matching between Authoring and PROD if you have not used a WSP 
package to deploy them.

· the CQWP uses a custom transform stored in the itemstyle.xsl file 
that has not been deployed with the content deployment job.  Manually moving 
this file over to PROD may help render the output.

... or it could be something else.

Discussion Boards after SP1 + March 2012 CU?

[James Boman]

Hey there people,
   I was just wondering if any of you have experienced a problem 
where after SharePoint 2010 SP1 + Feb 2012 CU update the discussion boards 
operate like plain announcement lists - and don't show the special discussion 
view any more?

Cheers,
   James.

RE: SPS2010 User Profiles

[James Boman]

Nigel,
+1 for Chris’s idea of checking the Forefront Identity Manager Agent UI.

Run this: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0\Synchronization 
Service\UIShell\miisclient.exe
and have a poke around, commonly has better log detail than ULS.

Good luck,
   J.

Subject: SPS2010 User Profiles

Hi all

I’ve got a couple of questions relating to user profiles in SPS2010.


1)  The “MySite Cleanup Job” is responsible for removing user profiles (and 
mysites) of people that are “missing from import”. Does anyone know of a way to 
disable the email part of this clean-up job? This is the email that is sent to 
a user’s manager say “Person X has left, you have 14 days to check their stuff”.

2)  Our profile imports aren’t working properly. Every now and then, a new 
person joins and ha their account created in AD. When the profile import job 
runs, it only imports SOME of the data from AD. Other fields (e.g. Mobile, 
State, Post code and most importantly – Manager) don’t get imported. This 
leaves a bunch of empty lines in the profile view, however it also results in 
the ‘Organization Browser’ not working. For some other users it works fine 
without issue. As a test, I deleted my own profile and mysite, then manually 
ran a full import, and it didn’t bring in all the info. I’ve added 2 
screenshots to show an example.

I’m not too concerned about point 1 above, but point 2 is something I need to 
get resolved, and nothing I’ve tried works.

Nigel

RE: Parser error with custom field control

[James Boman]

Paul,
   It really depends on how you have setup the XML file that 
defines your custom field.  Looks like you XML file should contain similar to:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8 ?
FieldTypes
  FieldType
Field Name=FieldTypeClass CEO.SP14.CascadingLookUp, 
CEO.SP14.CascadingLookUp, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken= 
/Field
Field 
Name=FieldEditorUserControl/_controltemplates/CEO.SP14.CascadingLookUp/clueditcontrolwithfilter.ascx/Field


The reason you use ASCX files is so you can use the design surface.  When 
properly using the designer, this will create your code-behind with a partial 
class so that it can include the designer generated code.  Unlike previousl 
versions of Studio, you don't have to worry about Visual Studio 2010 deploying 
your code-behind files.  Your class declaration should look like:
namespace CEO.SP14.CascadingLookup {


public partial class CLUEditControlWithFilter : UserControl, IFieldEditor {

If you still can't get it to work, I would download some of the example custom 
field code in the SharePoint SDK as a reference to compare to yours.
Cheers,
   James.

RE: Parser error with custom field control

[James Boman]

Paul,
   Custom columns must be Farm scopes features, and so usually 
don't require safecontrol entries - however if you really need to mark your 
control as safe explicitly then you could consider using the built-in UI in the 
package manager to add the safe controls elements into the manifest.xml 
automatically.
Cheers,

Hi all,
A quick net search reveals I'm not alone with this issue but I've applied all 
suggested resolutions and still can't connect.

I can hit the service URL through a browser both locally and remotely over 
http. But VS keeps chucking bizarre errors.

Initially I was getting 404 or 400 errora. Since disabling anonymous access and 
Windows Auth on the _vti_bin directory and installing ADO.NET 1.5 CTP2 I am now 
receiving this error:

The HTML document does not contain Web service discovery information.

'http://dev/_vti_bin/ListData.svc'.
The requested service, 'http://dev/_vti_bin/ListData.svc' could not be 
activated. See the server's diagnostic trace logs for more information.
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution 
and adding the service reference again.

RE: Hidden Risk list fields reappearing

[James Boman]

Kirk,
   That's very odd.  I know that hiding fields in risk lists is 
very common, and we do it for many of our clients.  We tend not to rename any 
of the OOB Risks/Issues field names as it causes the Project Server cubes to 
break.

Before altering the list-level content type on the Risks list in your template 
site, you may want to try updating the Project Server content types using the 
bulk edit tool option in Server Settings:
[cid:image002.png@01CD0127.461C8940]

After that is complete try re-creating your template from the template site.

Cheers,
   James.

Subject: Hidden Risk list fields reappearing

Hi All,
I have a baffling SharePoint/Project Server 2010 issue that I thought maybe th 
OzMOSS brains trust might be able to help me with.

I am working on customising  the Risks list in a standard project server 
project site. At the moment the customisation involves hiding a few fields we 
don't wish to use, renaming a couple of fields and changing the order. Once 
this is done we save the site as a template and associate it with a project 
type in Project Server.

The problem I'm encountering is that when a site is created (both manually and 
as part of creating a new project in Project Server) from the customised site 
template all of the hidden fields are now visible and the reordering is lost. 
The field renaming is still in place though.

I've been scratching my head on this one on and off for a couple of days with 
no joy. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,


Kirk.

RE: Custom Workflow Activity

[James Boman]

As others have mentioned - passing the current user token into the SPSite 
constructor while Elevating is probably not the best idea.
IMHO - If you are going pass a user token to the SPSite constructor it should 
be:

SPContext.Current.Site.SystemAccount.UserToken

Which is what we usually do this instead of Elevating - as the 
RunWithElevatedPrivileges is an expensive COM call, that can leak memory (at 
least in 2007).  In our team the rule is you only use 
RunWithElevatedPrivileges if you are trying to make off-box connections, or 
messing with Farm Properties etc.

The other obvious thing to consider with custom workflow activities is that 
from a security point of view they should ideally be registered in the 
web.config:

  WorkflowService Assembly=Your.Assembly, Version=1.0.0.0, 
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1234567890123456 
Class=Your.Assembly.ActivityService /

Also consider adding your assembly (and any extra assemblies it loads) to the 
configuration/System.Workflow.ComponentModel.WorkflowCompiler/authorizedTypes 
section.

There are also extra considerations with workflow activities when you have a 
App Server in the farm that does NOT run the WFE role.

Good Luck,
   James.

Subject: Custom Workflow Activity
To: ozMOSS ozmoss@ozmoss.commailto:ozmoss@ozmoss.com

Hi Guys,

I have created a custom WF activity hooked up in SharePoint designer.
It creates a sub-site and some user groups.

So far so good, then the requirement came to add the site name to the Term 
Store.

The workflow is configured to start on Item Added.

On Automatic start, problem is the workflow just creates the sub-site, does not 
create the term store entry and shows status as Cancelled.
When I manually start this workflow, than everything is fine, it creates site, 
adds term store entry and shows Status as Completed.
I ran a debugger stepped through the code all works fine.

What can be the reason for this.. is it permissions / identity issue when it 
runs manually opposed to automatic workflow start.

Cheers,
A

RE: moving dbs

[James Boman]

I have used the STSADM -o renameserver method with some success, because from 
what I remember you can't use the SQL alias method if you are using the default 
instance of a SQL Server.  I though you had to have installed against a named 
instance to be able to create the SQL alias properly.

Thus for installations already using the default instance of a SQL Server the 
STSADM -o renameserver was the best approach.

My memory is a bit rusty on this - so am happy to be corrected if wrong.

Cheers,
James.

Not a DNS alias, a SQL Server alias. You configure this using the program:

A while ago we had this situation of moving to another server. We ended up

then we install SharePoint using a database alias so we never have to deal with

RE: MOSS 2007 - 2010 upgrade path and host headers

[James Boman]

Paul,
You should be able to set up the new 2010 farm with the 
identical host headers of your production farm without causing any issues just 
remember:

* Change the TTL on the SOA record in DNS to a low value now, before 
you need to do the cutover.

* If using the server console to test the website:

o   Apply the loopback check fix method 2: 
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861

o   Modify the hosts file in \Windows\System32\drivers\etc to point to 
localhost for the host header name.

* Do the content migration

* Change the hosts file on UAT machines, for the testers to validate 
the new 2010 installation.

* Once the migration is complete, change the A record (or CNAME) to 
point to your new farm/load balancer and you're good to go!

* Remember to get rid of the hosts entry on the UAT machines and the 
server console, and set TTL in DNS back to a more reasonable level.
Cheers,
James.

RE: MultiColumn Custom Field Problem

[James Boman]

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.

Cheers,
James.

When making custom fields, the underlying data type is very important.  The 
Multi-Column Value Type is very useful for storing arrays of values, but the 
downside is that it can't be sorted, filtered, grouped, indexed or edited using 
the normal SharePoint UI.

You might want to consider changing to a different underlying data type to get 
more OOB functionality.  We have several custom fields that when added to a

Has anybody been able to resolve this problem using a DropDown? Could it be

Hey all

Got a strange question that's sort of bugging me.

In the user profile database on MOSS 2007, there's the option to add user 
photos. Currently, all our employee photos are stored in a teamsite, and their 
'mySite' points their photo URL to that teamsite. This URL is also stored in 
Active Directory (under the 'websites' | 'other' property)

What generally happens is reception updates these URL's in the profile database 
on SharePoint.

My understanding is that up until a week ago, the profile database updated AD 
with these URL's, but since last week Wednesday, this has stopped happening, 
with the result being that AD now overwrites the picture URL field in 
SharePoint (i.e. If the URL has been changed in SharePoint, AD overwrites it, 
with the result being that ).

Is this 'writeback' to AD even possible out the box? (I never thought it was, 
but the evidence seems to point otherwise) Nothing has changed in the UPD to my 
knowledge, and the property field mappings have been unchanged for a few months.

RE: Updating list item permissions via SharePoint Web Services

Ah - okay, yes this is the new Client Object model available from 
JavaScript/Silerlight/.NET is a much more pleasant way to deal with the 
SharePoint webservices.  Keep in mind the authentication schemes vary slightly 
on the new webservices vs. 2007 (with 2010 using claims-based auth) so you may 
find writing individual handlers for each is the best approach.

Although not documented by Microsoft there are some examples of using the 2007 
web services floating around that might help:

ws_Permissions.Permissions ws = newws_Permissions.Permissions();
NetworkCredential nc = newNetworkCredential(sUserName, sPassword, sDomain);
ws.Credentials = nc;
ws.Url = sOneSubSite +@/_vti_bin/permissions.asmx;
int iMask = 0x0001;
ws.AddPermission(Shared Documents,List, Manager, role, iMask);
int iMask2 =0x0001|0x0002|0x0004|0x0008;
ws.UpdatePermission(Shared Documents,List, Manager, role, iMask2);

Hi all

Is it possible to change the location that a publishing page is created in? The 
scenario is as follows:

I want to replace a bunch of legacy html files that use the meta-refresh tag to 
redirect users, with publishing pages that use the 'redirect page' page layout.

I've tested this, and it works perfectly. My only issue is that they are 
created in the pages document library, and I want them in a document library 
of my choosing.

Is it possible to do this, or should I create them by default, and then use the 
'manage content and structure' to move them where I want?

As it seems like you main priority is simply redirecting users, have you 
considered other alternatives outside SharePoint? I love reverse proxies in 
front of a web-facing deployment to handle stuff like this; if your redirect

URL rewriting-anything that will return an HTTP 301 or 302 response.

Hi all

Is it possible to change the location that a publishing page is created in? The 
scenario is as follows:

I want to replace a bunch of legacy html files that use the meta-refresh tag to 
redirect users, with publishing pages that use the 'redirect page' page layout.

I've tested this, and it works perfectly. My only issue is that they are 
created in the pages document library, and I want them in a document library 
of my choosing.

Is it possible to do this, or should I create them by default, and then use the 
'manage content and structure' to move them where I want?

Even if you have a short or no delay before redirect, you can always edit the 
page by putting a ?contents=1 on the end of the url, and then temporarily 
close, or delete the CEWP.

Certain death ;-) Simply put, the page library is a core component of the 
publishing feature.

As it seems like you main priority is simply redirecting users, have you 
considered other alternatives outside SharePoint? I love reverse proxies in 
front of a web-facing deployment to handle stuff like this; if your redirect 
list is fixed (and users don't need to be getting in there) you could also use 
URL rewriting-anything that will return an HTTP 301 or 302 response.

RE: Help with 401 errors on public site

[James Boman]

These behavioural inconsistencies are usually caused by the timing of when the 
ViewFormPagesLockdown feature first gets enabled, and the inheritance state of 
each web.

If you have some sites in an existing site collection that have security 
inheritance already broken at the first time you enable the 
ViewFormPagesLockdown feature they may not inherit the Special Permission level 
that ViewFormPagesLockdown creates, while other sites get it.  Once you have 
enabled the ViewFormPagesLockdown feature once, the special permission level is 
already created,  the behaviour is set, and deactivating/activating it has no 
effect on the inconsistent sites.

After activating ViewFormPagesLockdown, breaking inheritance on sites in the 
collection maintains the special permission level, even though you can't see it 
through the UI.  So you may end up with two sites both with broken security 
inheritance that behave differently from an Anonymous point of view.

I have seen some solutions to the problem that involve ignoring the 
ViewFormPagesLockdown feature and instead changing the class that the system 
pages inherit from (like View All Site Content - viewlsts.aspx) to something 
like SecuredFormPage (or something like it).  But have never recommended it due 
to later support concerns.

As you can tell, I have a few battle scars on this one.

J.

Hi Chris,

We have exactly the same behaviour with a subsite collection doing all the 
right things. Settings are identical and I can't for the life of me work out 
why. ViewFormpagesLockdown is disabled, anonymous access is set sitewide - and 
yet anonymous users CANNOT directly access anything in _layouts and are not 
able to view list form pages with explicit access enabled on the list.

I wound up deleting that site as an aberration after extensive testing to find 
the cause. Some sources believe it was the combination of enabling anonymous 
access for Lists and Libraries, then deactivating the feature, then changing 
access to sitewide... In the end I never cracked it.

If you ever work it out I'd love to know the answer; especially if you can get 
it working for a root site!

Paul

Hi Chris,

There is no way around this without writing a customer provider. We hit the 
same issue and the decision was made to disable the feature to return normal 
functionality and access to much needed list forms by users and search 
botsalike.

There were two caveats around this:


1.Modify all list views to remove Modified and Checked-Out fields to 
alleviate some of the privacy concerns.

a.I strongly suggest a coded solution using a provisioning feature at site 
creation.

b.We additionally purchased a solution that allows us to permission fields.

2.Hiding the View All Site Content page.

a.Still haven't got around to this because I can't find a simple solution 
that doesn't involved modifying the OOTB page.

b.Am considering creating a new page that requires authenticated users and 
replacing the link to viewlsts.aspx with the new page.

Would be interested in hearing what solution you ultimately apply.

RE: Help with 401 errors on public site

Easy way to test the ViewFormPagesLockdown - open a browser and hit your 
anonymous site with:

http://www.yousite.com.au/_layouts/viewlsts.aspx

You would be surprised how many Internet facing MOSS sites there are where this 
is allowed.  For example:

For example - this Pakistan Government site: http://www.hec.gov.pk
Allows you to get to: http://www.hec.gov.pk/_layouts/viewlsts.aspx

Which shows you all sorts of un-intended information, author names and dates 
etc.

You don't want that happen to your site.

I know it might not be immediately helpful, but on the topic of 401's in 
Internet facing sites there is something to be to be aware of that might be 
contributing to your 401 woes...

If you use the ViewFormPagesLockDown feature (as all public facing MOSS sites 
should) it has security ramifications such that if you break security 
inheritance at the list or item level, Anonymous Internet users will lose 
access (regardless of the permissions granted), and be presented with 401 
errors.

It doesn't matter if you specifically grant access to the items/lists, and 
toggle the Anonymous setting - Internet users will lose access if the Special 
Permission level is not inherited.

So for Internet sites you must choose between

* Enabling the ViewFormPagesLockDown feature and living with web level 
security only

* Not using ViewFormPagesLockDown and having all your system forms 
available (like View All Site Content)

SPS2010: Assigning a Farm-unique number to list items?

[James Boman]

Good morning SharePoint gurus!

I was brainstorming to find the best way to make a list where list items are 
allocated a Farm unique number on save.

i.e. when an item is saved, one of the column values is CV0001000 , and the 
next item gets CV0001001 even if it is in another list in another site 
collection.

Options under consideration:

* The numbering feature in Information Management Policies seems to 
only apply to document libraries and not lists - is this true?

* List Event Handler, backed up by a webservice to store the numbers in 
a centralised list somewhere

* Custom Field Type with same custom webservice backing.

* Hmmm... a better way?

Any ideas?

Cheers,
J.

To achieve better Office 2007 integration with MOSS + FBA you will need Office

tour and want to update the blog about their travels while they are away.

Editing with Word 2007 is the most convenient for them. It works while 
connected to the domain but not while outside the network. Connection to the 
intranet is via ISA 2006 FBA.

I gather that word needs to somehow do the FBA with ISA before it can connect. 
Can this be done and can anyone tell me how?

Cheers,

Iain Carlin

August CU's

[James Boman]

Hey there,

Anyone been able to download the SharePoint Foundation 2010 August CU? 
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2352346 )

I have got the SPS2010 CU: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2352342
and the SPS2010  ProjectServer2010 CU: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2352345
but I have not been able to download the SPF2010 CU.

Traditionally I believe you were supposed to install the WSS hotfixes first - 
so I am a bit apprehensive about applying the SPS2010 CU without first applying 
the SPF2010 CU - or does that rule no longer apply?

Cheers,
James.

RE: What's New web part with exclusion

[James Boman]

Could you get the web url into your query result (see posts about 
CommonViewFields) and then put the exclusion in your ItemStyle.xslt?

Something like:

xsl:if test=!starts-with($WebURL,'/News')
div class=myStyle
!-- Content goes here --
/div
/xsl:if

Hi all,

Does anyone have any nifty ideas on how to exclude a specific site/URL from a 
CQWP query? It doesn't seem to be too strong on exclusions and site/URL isn't 
available as a filter.

Basically I want to query all Pages libraries and exclude any from the /News 
subsite.

RE: Screen recordings

[James Boman]

-1 Camtasia: My experience with it was poor because the resulting videos always 
needed some custom TechSmith codec installed on the viewer's machine :(
+1 Expression Media Encoder: Creates Windows Media Player compatible files 
straight out of the gate, requiring no transcoding afterward to get rid of the 
custom codecs.  Also easy to then prepare the video for Silverlight streaming 
on the web.  In some scenarios clients have wanted to host their own streaming 
video (no YouTube).

RE: Difference between Publishing Portal and Collaboration Portal?

Thats strange - I just tried creating a new publishing sub-site in a

While you’re at it can you also find out why links within the navigation 
components get converted to uppercase every time you create a subsite?? At 
first I thought this was our custom definition but I’ve since performed a test 
using OOTB site defs and the problem persists.

The only solution I’ve found is to go to Site Settings-Look and feel-Title, 
description, and icon and click OK. Thank LBJ that URLs aren’t case-sensitive!

Scenario: Create a publishing subsite. Roll mouse over Quick Launch or 
Breadcrumbs and see something like this:

Yes, I have. That’s why I deactivated the feature. Only solution I’ve been able 
to find. :)

It seems that the FormViewPageLockDown does a lot more than it claims and can 
also screw with Contributor access to form views and some lists/layout pages  - 
e.g. People and Groups.

Note: Disabling this feature still prevents anonymous browsing of Pages and 
Document libraries and I have not seen any of the issues others mention with 
anon users suddenly being able to access these. I did spend some time tweaking 
permissions for anon user access to lists afterwards.

Hey there people,
   I am hoping someone on this list knows the answer to this:

When you create a SharePoint 2007 site using the Collaboration Portal template 
and apply the site lockdown feature (ViewFormPagesLockDown), links to documents 
in document libraries in the navigation do not appear for anonymous users (they 
get security trimmed)

When you create a SharePoint 2007 site using the Publishing Portal template, 
the site lockdown feature is automatically enabled as part of the template, but 
links to documents in document libraries placed in the navigation DO appear for 
anonymous users.

Anyone have any ideas why this is, or how to change an existing Internet facing 
site to enable the links in the navigation to appear for anonymous users?

Cheers,
   James.

RE: Excel Fill Handle

[James Boman]

I think the tag should be:
meta http-equiv=X-UA-Compatible content=IE=EmulateIE7 /

Also - remember if your using IE8 64-bit, it is classed as a Level 2 browser 
for SharePoint 2007 and DataSheet view is unsupported, or this documentation is 
out of date:  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263526.aspx

Nothing works in IE8 including the OOTB flyout menus. You can’t fix IE8 but you 
can force it to render your pages in X-UA compatibility mode.

Just jump into your master pages and insert the following meta tag right at the 
top of the head section.

meta http-equiv=X-UA-Compatible content=IE=7 /

However this is more of a patch than a solution and is unlikely to fix 
something like your datasheet issue.

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help.

There is a known problem with the MS Excel Fill Handle not working in the 
Data Sheet view in SharePoint 2007 lists when using IE8. It works fine with IE6 
and 7. (explanation: This is the feature in Excel that when you drag the bottom 
right handle of a cell down the column (or across the row) the cell contents 
are copied).

Is anyone aware of a fix for this?

RE: MySite Access Denied for SC admins

[James Boman]

From what I know, the complicating factor may be that each MySite is actually 
an independent Site Collection - so to get access you will need to add 
yourself as a site collection administrator to each one :(

May need to write yourself a little script - or a Feature Staple to add some 
administrators when the site is created.
