I have a site directory and the listing has been customized. I have added additional sorting criteria which can be clicked on after the initial load but i would like the first load of the list to be sorted by title.

I have tried editing the XSL with the editor and chaning the following in the correct locations but it is still not working.
     <xsl:param name="dvt_adhocmode">sort</xsl:param>
     <xsl:param name="dvt_sortfield">Title</xsl:param>
     <xsl:param name="dvt_sortdir">asc</xsl:param>

Any ideas?
Thank you ahead of time.

I should also add when editing the webpart i only have the XSL editor and paramenters editor to modify the contents of the web part itself.

Figured it out: Needed to add the following:

<xsl:sort select="@Title" order="ascending" />

into the area:

    <xsl:template name="dvt_1.body">
       <xsl:param name="Rows"/>
       <xsl:param name="FirstRow"/>
       <xsl:param name="LastRow"/>

Authentication Question

Subject: Authentication Question

We have a mixed environment were some users authenticate to AD and some don't. The users that don't log on to there pc's via a local account. One such user clicked his sharepoint link and was prompted to authenticate and did so using <domain>\<username> and then entered his password. While doing so, he checked the box to remember username and password. Since then, he has not been prompted again.

My question, when you check this box, where is your username and password stored?

I would imagine that this user is (as his domain name) a member of an AD Group that has permissions to access the site (if he hasn't been allocated as a domain user directly).

So he has two ways to access the site (local user / domain name) and now that he has once accessed the site with his domain account, future accesses will use the same information.

(Not answering the final question because I a) don't know the answer and b) I think the reason for the present functionaliy lies elsewhere)

If you are using Internet Explorer then when you check the "remember username and password" checkbox IE encrypts the details are stores them on the local machine.

(I don't know exactly where IE stores the details, but Windows XP does have an area for securly storing passwords (e.g. for file shares) and I would expect IE would use this area).

One thing to note is that if an administrator resets or changes the users password then the saved passwords will be deleted and the user will need to reenter them. This is because the encryption used to encrypt the username and password is partially based on the users password.

Hope this helps,

BUT...

I need help putting all of this information together so that I can format the result of the list so that it makes sense for calendar items (i.e. Title, Description, Start, End, Location). I have not found an example of anyone that has done this.

I would like to group by Date, then display start time, title, description location...

I have the same need - for a global calendar with events from sub-sites. I created a new site column "roll-up" with a Yes/No to mark events that will be rolled-up to the 'global' calendar.

But I am stuck there. There are articles on CQWP but I need more specifics such as how to add the start date to the CQWP list - it only shows the 'Title'

I have a similar issue, but I am using WSS 3.0. I want each sub-site to have its own calendar, but then allow a view of all sub-site calendar events on the "global" calendar as well. So while the solution using Sharepoint 2007 sounds great, what are the options for WSS3.0?

Thanks in advance.

CorasWorks used to have cross-site list consolidation in their suite of programs for WSS 2.0 (and SPS 2003) and I presume this is still available in their present suite for the v3 SharePoint products. The suite of course costs quite a bit but it's less than MOSS 2007.

SPS2003 Add Link to Site not working

Today something odd started happening. When the page comes up to Add a link to Site for the site creation process ,I can fill out the information but when I click Ok, the Ok button goes grey and the page does nothing. After that I can enter the URL for the new site and continue to setup the site template and eventually enter the site. However when I go back to the Site Directory the site is nowhere to be found.

The only bit of information I've been able to find on this problem is this MS article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934229, which has no solution as of yet.

I did just change the login and password that the Configuration Database Administration Account, Default Content Access Account, and Portal Site Application Pool Identity were using. That is the only thing that has been changed recently though. Has anyone come across this before? Thanks.

... time passes slowly,

... Next day:

Check to see if you have windows server 2003 sp2 installed. if so try removing it. That worked for me.

Hi,

I had the same problem and didn't feel like removing SP2 so I came up with
the following solution:

1. Open this file in a text editor:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\60\TEMPLATE\[LCID]\SPSSITES\LISTS\SITESLST\NewForm.aspx

(Replace [LCID] with your locale identifier, 1033 for English)

2. Find this code fragment:

<SPSWC:InputFormButtonSection runat="server">
<SPSWC:InputFormButtonAtBottom ID="ButtonOk" runat="server"
TextLocId="Page_OkButton_Text"/>
<SPSWC:InputFormButtonAtBottom ID="ButtonCancel" runat="server"
TextLocId="Page_CancelButton_Text" visible="false" />
</SPSWC:InputFormButtonSection>

3. Replace it with this code fragment:

<SPSWC:InputFormButtonSection runat="server">

<input type="button" value=" OK "
onclick="document.forms[0].submit()" />


<SPSWC:InputFormButtonAtBottom ID="ButtonCancel" runat="server"
TextLocId="Page_CancelButton_Text" visible="false" />
</SPSWC:InputFormButtonSection>

4. Thats it;-)

Actually, you have never received Sharepoint Portal as part of Windows Server. It has always been just WSS, first 2.0, and with R2, 3.0. (SBS MVPs--Correct me if I am wrong on the version numbers--I haven't been interested in R2. I'm waiting for D2. Or perhaps Go Dot.) You get the full Windows Sharepoint Services product, just not the Portal product, which should be on a separate member server.

I will be using SBS 2003 R2. Does this mean I will get more than just the Portal? Are you saying that I will get EVERYTHING I NEED in SBS 2003 R2 to setup a SharePoint customer? I don't need any more software, is that correct?

Additionally, If I am going to use SharePoint, do you think I should get the Premium Edition which includes SQL server? Do I need the SQL server for SharePoint?

SharePoint is a product that allows non-IT personnel to set up web sites. I have no idea what you might need to set up any customer.

I believe that the WSS that comes with SBS is installed with some version of MSDE, or some such acronym. It is not SQL server. It also does not support searches. If you have SQL server in your system somewhere, then you can use that rather than MSDE; but you have to convert your MSDE database to an instance of an SQL database.

> Please be 100% clear for a Novice like me...

Well, perhaps you should leave the beach where you would not be so distracted. There is a Microsoft SharePoint website that presents the material at a level that even a manager can understand:
http://www.microsoft.com/SharePoint/default.mspx

It has been a long time since I was a novice in SharePoint, so I am not very good at generating the kind of support you need. If no one else joins this thread, make a new post. But please, visit that web site first.

SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS 3.0) is a technology that runs on Windows Server 2003 (SBS 2003 included) and it is distributed for free. SharePoint Services 2.0 comes with SBS 2003 and if you want to install version 3.0 you have to download it from Microsoft's web site and do a parallel install (there is a document that describes how to do that on the web site).

SharePoint, as a technology component, needs SQL Server to function. If you don't have SQL Server on your server, the installation routine installs MSDE (for version 2.0) or SQL Server Express (for version 3.0) which is limited to 4GB of data. If you develop a SharePoint site and your planning indicates higher amount of data over a period of time, then you'll need to buy the SBS 2003 R2 Premium to take advantage of SQL Server Workgroup which has no data limit.

SharePoint Server 2007 2007 is a server product that operates on top of SharePoint Services. Prior to this release, the name of the server was SharePoint Portal Server 2003. The word "Portal" is not used anymore. This product is not free, and it has specific CAL requirements, all of which you can find at the Microsoft web site.

You don't need SharePoint Server 2007 to develop an application using this technology. WSS will do just fine.

Hope that helps

In the SPS 2007 all requests go through ASP.NET 2.0 before they are handled by WSS3.0. So build an asp.net 2.0 application in VS2005, copy the dll to sharepoint site bin directory, add the safecontrol entry in the web.config file. Finally import the .aspx pages in sharepoint designer.

change default column name 'Title ' in Item content type

I've changed the name of Title field on my new content type that inherits from Item.
It effected the Item content type itself and everything that inherits from it ...

When I try to change it back to 'Title' , I get an error: "...reserved column name... " , which is logical ...in a way...

Any idea on how to reverse Item back to having default column names?

grateful in advance,

There is a file called FldEdit.aspx in layouts folder which contains a javascript function as shown below

function doesFieldNameConflict( strName )
{
if (g_FieldName[strName.toLowerCase()] &&
    strName.toLowerCase() != <
%SPHttpUtility.AddQuote(SPHttpUtility.EcmaScriptStringLiteralEncode(spField.Title),Response.Output);
%>.toLowerCase())
   return true;
else
   return false;
}

g_FieldName : Its an array collection of all possible fields...
Just modify the function to add your own logic and by passing the
check for existence of "Title" field as shown below

function doesFieldNameConflict( strName )
{
                              if( strName.toLowerCase() == "title")
                                  return true;
if (g_FieldName[strName.toLowerCase()] &&
    strName.toLowerCase() != <
%SPHttpUtility.AddQuote(SPHttpUtility.EcmaScriptStringLiteralEncode(spField.Title),Response.Output);
%>.toLowerCase())
   return true;
else
   return false;
}

I tried this method, but I do not how to save the file back to layouts folder and make use of the new one.

The other way to handle this is from Database, in wss content database there would be a table called " ContentTypes", in that table you check the column called "Definition" that stores the actual content description. I updated that field and my problem is solved.

Comment from: Ron on 12/14/2007

Thank you for posting this. It really saved my butt.

I did however have to do some additional steps to complete the fix. Here are the steps I had to do. If someone altered the Title column and propogated it throughout the site collection then you have to do the following steps to bypass the Sealed content type issue. Additional Steps:

Open Site Content Types on the root site
Open up the Item Content Type
Click the Title Column
In the Site Column Information section, click the "Edit site column in new window"
Scroll down and make sure Update Lists is set to YES
Click OK
This will go through ALL the content types and reset the column to Title

Again, Thank you VERY much

You didn't say whether you are still using the same browser.

Upload multiple files won't be visible with Firefox and other similar browsers.

P.S. You presumably mean SharePoint *Portal* Server (2003) - "SharePoint Server" is 2007 (MOSS 2007).

Lookup column is not showing correct Display Name

Newsgroups: microsoft.public.sharepoint.portalserver
Subject: Lookup column is not showing correct Display Name
Date: 25 Apr 2007 12:13:41 -0700

I am using a lookup column in a site which contains a list of users. One of these users got married and their last name has changed. However, the old last name is showing in the lookup column.

So far I have done the following...
- Ran a full profile import from the portal admin screen - Site Settings/Profile and Import Settings/Start full import
- I have deleted and re-added the user to the site, but the Display Name is still the old last name

However, when I go to any other site and setup a lookup column it does show the new last name correctly. It seems that only this site that was using this name prior to the name change is having this issue.

Does anyone have any possible fixes for this?

I found a resolution from KB article 906951 - Windows SharePoint Services does not synchronize a new name change to Active Directory

RESOLUTION

To delete this Windows NT group, you must remove it from the Manage Site Collection Users page. Then, you can add the Windows NT group that you want on the Manage Users page. This process is required when you modify an account name, a display name, or a friendly name. Follow these steps:

1. On the home page for the Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server site that you want to manage, click Site Settings.
2. On the Site Settings page, click Go to Site Administration in the Administration section.
3. Click Go to Top-level Site Administration.
4. On the Top-level Site Administration page, click View site collection user information in the Site Collection Administration section.
5. On the Manage Site Collection Users page, click the name of the group that does not exist any longer, and then click Remove Selected Users.
6. On the Manage Users page, click Add Users to add the Windows NT group.

In SharePoint 2007 you just specify the user when creating the alert. For SharePoint 2003, I would look at the Alert manager tool from SharePoint Solutions.

Can anyone suggest the tool or technique to achieve the same?

The two companies I know of which Migrations Tools are CorasWorks and Tzunami.

You'll have to check their web sites to see if the can migrate just doc libs, but I suppose they can.

-------------------

Otherwise the old methods using file transfer and Datasheet View to Datasheet View copy of the metadata (as used from WSS 2.0 site to another WSS 2.0 site on another server) should still work (except that now you will need to re-create the (empty) v3 Doc Lib by hand as you can't use a v2 site template for that).

[Old method:
http://www.asaris.de/sites/walsh/Lists/WSS%20FAQ/DispForm.aspx?ID=169 but use the version at the end from 4. onwards as you don't need to save part versions.]

Hi Mike, Thanks for your reply.

As you mensioned in old method, using "file transfer and Datasheet View to Datasheet View". you mean to say Datasheet view means ExplorerView?

And i think if we copy documents in explorer view to explorer view , we wont get version information ( sorry if i am wrong)

or is there any way to get it using web services?

I mean a combination of Explorer View to Explorer View (to *copy* the files across) and Datasheet View to Datasheet View (to copy across the metadata by selecting all the cells except the file name).

Is that clearer ?

Word 2007 and Sharepoint Portal 2003 Document Library

Subject: Word 2007 and Sharepoint Portal 2003 Document Library
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2007 06:22:05 -0700
Newsgroups: microsoft.public.sharepoint.general

My Setup:

Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 on Server 2003 SP1 and SP2 (Test System)
Windows Vista Business
Office 2007 Enterprise
IE7

Windows XP SP2
Office 2003 Pro
IE7

All sites have http://*.domain.com listed in the trusted sites list, so passthrough authentication should work. Basically when I goto http://sharepoint.domain.com I do not get prompted to login.

IIS allows both Integrated Windows and Basic Authentication. Note this is an internal site.

My Problem:

If I go to a document library, and open, or choose edit document using Office 2003, the process is simless. If I attempt the same thing under Vista with Office 2007, I get prompted to login. If I hit cancel the document loads anyway. Once I click the edit button, I can modify the document. If I click save, I am prompted for the login again.

Expected Outcome:

No authentication box.

Research Performed:

I have searched the forums and have come up empty, with regard to my query. There are a few people that have posted remarks mentionoing the authentication process, but they did not remark that it was odd, but simply the way things are.

I do not know about Vista. Too busy with SharePoint to take on another learning process.

However, by default, pass-through authentication is not enabled for Trusted Zone, only the Local Intranet Zone. It would be safer to move the sites to that zone to test rather than open up trusted zone.

Office applications follow the zone instructions of IE when connecting to documents over http/https. Since the document load into the office application is a separate connection to the web site from IE, a second authentication is required. Of course, if the credentials are passed through, then the user does not see either one but they still happen.

With Office, if the document is checked out, then the session is maintained and additional authentication is not required for saving. If not, the session times out while you edit and is required again when you save.

This has nothing to do with SharePoint. You need to configure your browser so that it prints background images and colors.

In IE7 you do this via Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Printing/Print background colors and images. I have no idea how to activate this on other browsers.

I'm running Vista & Office 2007 (enterprise editions) at work. Whenever I try to open one of the word or excel documents on our Sharepoint (2003) site via IE (7) it comes up as [read-only][compatibility mode]. The only way I can save the document back to our shared document space is to save it locally and then upload the file.

Has anyone else seen this behavior and if so, is there a fix for it?

When a user edits a document using Office XP or Office 2003, it works properly. For the same user Office 2007 (on Windows XP) brings the document up as [read-only][compatibility mode].

That is not my experience here, using Vista Ultimate against SPPS03. I browse to the doc lib, use the drop-down control and check-out the document. I then use the control again to select open the document in word. I asks me for my credentials and then opens in Word 2003 compatibility mode. I can edit it, save it back, get prompted for version comments, it asks if I want to check it in, I say yes, and all is well.

The minor problem I am seeing is that the credentials request box is hidden behind the Word windows. I use a multi-desktop tool, and when I first tried this, Word came up over the SharePoint window, and just sat there. The next time I moved the word application over to another desktop, clicked over to that desktop, and the word app was still empty. But, then I could see the outline of the dialog box sitting on tip of the SharePoint window. Moved that over to the Word desktop, it sat on top, I reply yes to the credentials dialog box, it goes away, and the Word app fills up with the doc.

Are you using the dodo control to select the open in word command?

I tried to create a worksite, but the creation failed. I did then start the web service, and gave my user account full administrative priviledges. Still no go. I did notice that when I came back to Word2007, to try it again, that it had remembered the worksite name I used the first time. So, Word 2007 does remember the site name, but does not put it in the network places. Unless you are using a roaming profile, I would not expect your Word 2007 on the laptop to know about the site names, or network places, in the desktop.

I found a possible solution. My desktop PC had the Folder Option checked for "Automatically search for network folders and printers". My laptop did not. I change the laptop and now it remembers where I have been.

Still, there has to be an easier way...

Where are you finding that option? And what is your OS on the desktop PC. I am not finding that in the Folder Options for Vista 64.

I'm on XP Pro. From the Windows explorer I click "Tools" > "Folder Options", and it's the first option under the "View" tab. I know Vista has those options, but they are a bit harder to find.

I guess I just had to figure it out myself. When publishing, in the "file name" box, just type the entire path. For instance, if the server is called "Server1" and the document library is called "Client Data", and the document is called test.doc, type the following:

http://server1/client%20data/test.doc

(the %20 represents the space between "client" and "data")

It will go there and it will create a new network shortcut for future saves.

Sounds like after you choose publishing, you clicked on the document server choice. I tried that, pasted in the URL before the file name, told it to go, and it put the document into the document library I had selected. I did not get a network place out of the process. I will check to see if it is there when I next boot into that client.

When I tried publishing it to a document worksite, the name field is separated from the site address field. In this case, it collects my credentials, starts the process, then says it can't do it. This user does have full admin rights to the portal and to the individual site collections, so it should work, but doesn't. I will see if putting it all on one url will work.

I tried creating a doc worksite using the one line approach but that failed. I next tried creating it as a subsite of the site I had explicitly given my user account permissions (rather than relying on inheritance) and the site was created. It did show a link in the upper left pane in which the doc worksite creation parameters were collected. But, I did not find any new links in the Network places. Also, the recent list in the open dialog box does not show where the file is stored. That is annoying. But no package is perfect.

Anyway, I consider my problems with the publishing wizard to have been permissions issues, which I don't really understand, and don't want to waste energy/time figuring it out. If Microsoft winds up committing harikari and disappears from the face of the earth, it will because it will have made its software so secure it can't be used.

docx file registering as zip file in Portal 2003

I added the new Office 2007 extensions to my Portal 2003 server.

I understand that a docx file consists of multiple files but when I browse my document libaray and click on the docx file, it shows up as "Type" Compressed (zipped) Folder" and opens up in the Windows Zip utility and my only option is to save it. If I open the same docx file on my desktop, it opens in word 2007. Is there a way to have my computer launch word 2007 when I click on the file?

In IIS manager, register the mime type for docx, docm, pptx, etc. and they will download/open correctly.
