RE: [OzMOSS] RE: Site Directory categories

2008-08-05 Thread Ed Richard
That's correct and the categories are just a field in that list so you can
add your categories by modifying that fields' choices.

Subject: [OzMOSS] RE: Site Directory categories

 

Hi Paul,

 

I believe (and I haven't done too much with site directory so I could be
wrong) the site directory is just a list called 'Sites' in the Site
Directory site, if you go to that site you should see all of the sites in
that list, with their categories set as metadata. Update the item there and
you should be set.

 

The Add Link to site page just adds an item to this list. Normally sites are
added to the list when the site is created.

 

I hope that helps

Again, it's possible I'm missing something, but it appears there's no
obvious way to define categories for a site after it's been created.

 

Does the Add Link to Site tab on the Site Directory's category.aspx page
achieve the same result?

 

Kind regards,

Hi Ishai, 

 

This may be somewhat off the beaten track, but I was recently wondering

Any thoughts on that?

Hello everyone,

I thought I may try something new this year, and ask people what they expect
from the presentation before I start working on it.

I am presenting with an American MVP about the BDC - a level 400
presentation. What would you want to see in that presentation? 

 

I am leaving this as an open question because I do not want to limit your
thinking - just shoot me what would make you happy to see. After all, the
people in this list are the most likely to come see the presentation!

Is there a need for your own GetListDataSet method?  SPListItemCollection
already has a GetDataTable method.

SPWeb oWebsite = SPContext.Current.Web;

SPList oList = oWebsite.Lists["List_Name"];

SPListItemCollection collListItems = oList.Items;

 

DataGrid1.DataSource = collListItems.GetDataTable();

DataGrid1.DataBind();

Hi All,

 

We are writing a SharePoint State Machine Workflow, and are trying to use
the .NET 3.5 Send Activity to invoke a WCF workflow. The hurdle we are
hitting is that when deployed to SharePoint, the Workflow Send Activity
still appears to need an app.config file with all of the WCF client
configuration / endpoints etc ...

 

Where would such a config file need to be deployed to? What would it be
named? How would we ensure our workflow, when running in the context of
SharePoint can unambiguously find this config file? Or do we need to augment
some current SharePoint config file?

 

The workflow assembly is deployed to the GAC, and the various feature.xml /
workflow.xml configuration files are currently being deployed straight out
of VS 2008, with a view to feature based deployment into UAT / production
...

 

Any suggestions or hard-won experience from the trenches would be much
appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Trevor Andrew

Hi Tom,

 

>> Had a nightmare getting reporting services to integrate….

 

I had some trouble with SQL 2008/RS because it seemed to insist on using ssl

configuring it, configured RS after installing SharePoint and everything worked 
fine with pretty much default settings.

Well, the only reason I can see for this is because I can’t install a server on 
my laptop (lack of drivers) and having WSS running on my vista would mean that 
I can develop and demo faster (no need for a vpc to drink my RAM and CPU – not 
to mention that having a VPC running interferes with my Bluetooth mouse for 
some reason).

 

At home? 

1.   I would not run IIS and SQL express on my home vista machine which I 
am also using for games and other people may be using as well...

2.   If I would want a filing cabinet, and to use WSS, I would install 
windows 2003 as a backend storage

3.   If my machine is used only for internet browsing and office use, I 
would install windows 2003/2008 on it

4.   Then again, I do have MSDN so installing servers have no financial 
impact on me. If I had no money, and only one computer – I would just organize 
documents in folders. If I had no money and two computers with vista – I would 
set up a network share. There is no point in using sharepoint for storing 
documents for one or two people – the overhead of backup and restore alone 
would make me back out of it. A network share can be backed-up with a simple 
batch file (7-zip), and you can restore to a file level (un-7-zip) – and you 
don’t need to buy anything (or you can just download many free 3rd party backup 
applications that will help you do it better.

To be honest, I’m not a fan of this solution of installing WSS on Vista, I mean 
WHY would you do it, it’s nothing like the environment your deploying to or 
even developing against.
