Re: [OzMOSS] Self Registration on Public Facing MOSS 2007

2008-07-30 Thread Kirk Barrett
Hi Al,
it is possible using  forms based authentication plus some Codeplex
extensions in the Community Kit for
SharePointhttp://www.codeplex.com/CKS/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=7675.
It
probably doesn't make sense in situations where AD is used natively within
MOSS anyway.
Regards,

Kirk.

 Hello,

 Does MOSS 2007 have the capability for anonymous users to 'self register'
 themselves to a site?

 Upon self-registration preferably then could be automatically placed into a
 specific group whereby they could then contribute to forums and Wiki
 libraries.

 All help appreciated.

 Thanks
 Al

Re: [OzMOSS] Developing for MOSS/WSS with VS2008

2008-07-29 Thread Kirk Barrett
Hi Paul

The couple of SharePoint MVPs I've had the opportunity todiscuss this with
have been in consenus that when developing solutions for SharePoint it is
their recommendation that developers, particularly in a team environment
each utilise their own dedicated MOSS development environment. Given the
realities of most organisations it is not possible for a developer to
maintain both a day-to-day general use PC/laptop as well as a dedicated MOSS
development server for each project they are involved in. The solution to
this is the use of virtualisation technology to enable the developer to run
and maintain one or more virtual servers that contain the required
development environment. Assuming the PC/laptop is adequately resourced this
virtualised development environment can be hosted on the one PC/laptop per
developer.  The recommended install within the virtualised server is, as you
would expect, whatever your current production MOSS environment is
running. When a developer's solution has problems, local debugging on the
virutal server is the most efficient way to address the problem and
alleviates the problem where when a break point is hit the MOSS instance
stops until execution is continued.

To create a robust server development environment within the virtualised
server, each of the developers should also have the following installed:

   - Server installation of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (we have Developer
   Edition)
   - Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 including Microsoft Visual Studio Tools
   for the Microsoft Office system (3.0)
   - Microsoft Visual Studio Extensions for Windows SharePoint Services
   (1.2)
   - Microsoft SQL Server 2005 instance (assuming your production env is
   running the same)

When each developer has his/her own instance of SQL Server 2005 and Office
SharePoint Server 2007 or Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, this
configuration helps prevent conflicts during development, mitigates
performance issues during debugging, and ensures that the solution works in
multiple environments

Here is an MSDN article that touches on this topic..

  Hi all,



 I have yet another potentially embarrassing question.



 I've recently installed VS2008 on my local XP machine as a precursor to
 getting my hands dirty with some custom workflow activities and looking at
 what the VSeWSS 1.2 tools can do. And, well, ahem…it appears that remote
 connection to a MOSS server are not sufficient for the task.



 Short of wiping my current box, installing Windows Server 2003, MOSS2007
 and WSS3, I'd prefer to explore other possible solutions.



 What are other people doing for local dev? And if the resounding response
 is a VM, would someone mind outlining the requirements for one?



 And one more silly question (while I'm on a roll), can you wrap up SPD
 developed workflows with the SSG and: a) redevelop them in VS, b) deploy
 them to other sites and collections?



 As ever, all replies are gratefully received.



 Kind regards,

 Paul Noone
 Online Developer, ICT

[OzMOSS] 'Unknown Error Problem accessing the 'Storage Space Allocation' Page

2008-07-28 Thread Kirk Barrett
Has anyone encountered this problem below or know of a way to resolve it? We
are running in MOSS Standard Edition environment that I believe is still pre
SP1 and no hotfixes applied.

The Unknown Error problem occurs when attempting to access the 'Storage
Space Allocation' page in Site Collection Admin and only on this particular
site collection. The same page is working fine in other Site colletctions on
the same server.


We modified the web.config file to display a more meaningful error and
received this more detailed error:

Value was either too large or too small for a UInt32.   at
System.Convert.ToUInt32(Double value)

   at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.SPListInfo.get_ItemCount()

   at
Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.StorMan.DocLibDataViewer.Cells(UInt32
uCol)

   at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.StorMan.BuildView()

   at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.StorMan.Page_PreRender(Object
sender, EventArgs e)

   at System.Web.Util.CalliHelper.EventArgFunctionCaller(IntPtr fp, Object
o, Object t, EventArgs e)

   at System.Web.Util.CalliEventHandlerDelegateProxy.Callback(Object sender,
EventArgs e)

   at System.Web.UI.Control.OnPreRender(EventArgs e)

   at
Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.UnsecuredLayoutsPageBase.OnPreRender(EventArgs
e)

   at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal()

   at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean
includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)



We then wrote some code to interogate the Site Collection. The largest
Document library within the site collection:

The number of items  = 1623

The total size of the document library = 2,155,913,959




The only number which exceeds UInt32.Max value (4,294,967,295) is total size
of  all document libraries in site collection = 10,961,719,999.

Regards,

Kirk.

Hi John,
I believe that it was a fresh install of MOSS.
Thanks,
