that's a good article. I think I missed that during my swine-flu :) As a matter of fact I am about to perform a content type rollout in our SP farm, which have hundreds of sites.( not to mention the lists in them and mysites ).
But I believe he missed some *very important* points when doing that sort of CT manipulation. In my tests you can get pretty scary results if things like: you try to change a content type that is associated with a list with checked out files, or a content type columns is being referenced in a page layuot and you change that column etc. so YES, some checks must be done before for real life setups. if you perform that sort of modification without the checks, you can kiss goodbye these files:) you can see but never will access them again ( which can upset people and yeah!!!... we are not in the bussiness of upsetting people unless you are a QLD Maroon talking to a NSW Blue:) ) anyway... he is right about using feature receiver (SPbuilder rocks). but we are actually using SPSource (that guy Jeremy Thake rocks) to generate the template then use the feature receiver to propagate the changes. As of now we are running in our test-environment but so soon we go for the real deal :) ( BANG! ) Cheers, -Edge On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 9:36 PM, Clayton James <clayt...@flarepoint.com.au>wrote: > This has just been released this month on msdn. > > Great article on developing, deploying and updating Content Types. > > > > *Best Practices: Developing Content Types in SharePoint Server 2007 and > Windows SharePoint Services 3.0* > > http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee330223.aspx > > > > *Clayton James* > > FlarePoint Pty Ltd |*t* +61 7 3821 7178 |*f* + 61 7 3821 7175 |*m* 0402 > 463 276 | *w* http://www.flarepoint.com.au > > > > * * > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support procedure: http://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: ozmoss@ozmoss.com Subscribe: ozmoss-subscr...@ozmoss.com Unsubscribe: ozmoss-unsubscr...@ozmoss.com List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/ozmoss Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists
