Sorting the default listing

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"/>

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?

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.

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,
Marina Petersen

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.

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

Ron
