CF and Sharepoint without cfsharepoint tag
Hi there, I was wondering if anyone had to integrate CF with Sharepoint before the cfsharepoint came along. I have CF8 and am currently having a hard time consuming the UpdateListItems method of the API. This method takes two parameters, first a string and second an XML snippet that contains the information about what to update. The problem is that passing in the correctly formatted XML as the second parameter results in ColdFusion being unable to find the method call... Thank you, Fernanda ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:336441 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: CF and SharePoint
Hi Mike, OK, maybe you are right so let me rephrase it. They have a bunch a documents that are index by Verity and then they perform searches through the docs using a CF app. By deploying SharePoint they want to have all the docs being index by SharePoint and using the same CF app (with the necessary changes) to search the SharePoint document collection. So I guess what I'm looking for is something like cfsearch (an API that I can invoke from a CF app) that can be used to search a SharePoint document collection.

Are you looking for a way to search for documents located in a SharePoint system and link to the documents from a ColdFusion Web application? -Mike Chabot ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:314600 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: CF and SharePoint
I don't know the extent to which you are using ColdFusion, although I would question why use CF to provide a search interface to SharePoint when you could just use the SharePoint search features. I would recommend getting rid of CF and shifting this functionality entirely over to SharePoint if that is an option. SharePoint is very good at what it does. For a more direct answer to your question I think you will have to write custom code and I don't think too many people would have experience with doing what you are trying to do. Maybe do a form post with CFHTTP and parse the results. If all the documents to search are in SharePoint and your CF Web site does more than just search these documents, then the quickest solution would be to display a URL to the new SharePoint system on the CF search page. -Mike Chabot On Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 9:28 AM, Victor Moore [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Mike, OK, maybe you are right so let me rephrase it.

Re: CF and SharePoint
I'd write a web service on the SharePoint side for CF to interact with although I agree just move it to SharePoint. Victor, are all the file types that they want to search supported by SharePoint? I saw a complaint here at work about SharePoint not searching across some non-MS file formats not sure if there is any truth behind that or not but might be something to look into.

Re: CF and SharePoint
Thank you Mike and Aaron, all good points. The CF app provides more functionality than just searching so it will stay for the time being.

CF and SharePoint
Hi, I have a customer who wants to move to SharePoint from Verity. The question I have is this: Can I access the documents index by SharePoint from CF? Basically I'm looking for anything that will help me integrate the two. And yes their decision to go with SharePoint is final. Apparently one of their execs was at a Microsoft event and believes that SharePoint is the future...
