Sharepoint Template in Portal
(Indexed 2006-05-23):
Share point templates. A while ago MS came up with some new team site templates. Now most of the instructions you read are about adding those templates to the rootof a wss site, now if your running portal this is a bit difficult.Wondering around the portal controls I thought I had the answer under the manage userand security and other things option wqas a site gallery option. I uploadedmy templates and bugger all happened. Heck knows what this is for.To add those templates or any other STP to...(truncated)...
Firefox extensions
(Indexed 2005-11-21):
I haven't had much to say recently, the big sharepoint implementation has now finished and I will be honest I'm glad to see the back of it. So if your looking for sharepoint insights, for the time being there ain't gonna be any, well not untill the team site restriction is lifted an I have a bunch of templates to create or until the office 12 services rollout anyway. So to get back to things, here is a list of my favourite firefox extensions, you might be interested but for me I ...(truncated)...
Skinned Parts Error
(Indexed 2005-10-31):
Apparently there is a slight problem with the WebPart base code, it interferes with RenderWorkItemTimeout or rather ignores it completly. So be aware of this and possibly other problems. Will post solution when I have one. [Image]
Todd's Deleted Items Doc Lib
(Indexed 2005-10-07):
Todd Bleeker has posted an article on his blog complete with link to the new template he has developed for a Doc Lib complete with recycle bin that the user can restore. This is a fantastic solution It's as good as it looks ,Todd demo'd this to me at the PDC and I was blown away. That and his series about uses of the Content Editor WebPart Series are just brilliant. So Take a good look through Todd's blog and not just this article you might find some real gems. http://mindsharp...(truncated)...
Its all a bit quiet
(Indexed 2005-10-05):
If there is anyone out there who might read this blog, you may have noticed Im a quiet of lat. Well the reason is that our sharepoint installation and customisation project is finished and Im back to knocking up intranet sites of dubious value to the company and very simplistic, (wish I had infopath server). So I haven't had that much to say about SPS/WSS as Im sick to death of it and glad to see the back of it for a while. I know I've some templating work to do at some point a...(truncated)...
Is UDDI dead
(Indexed 2005-09-17):
I said it a couple of times at the PDC to people, is UDDI dead. In lots of demos more and more of the MS product range InfoPath, Sharepoint and lets face it the whole of office are using Web Services. Not once, NOT ONCE did I see a tModel key to make use of UDDI's indirect addressing. From an Ops point of view If I host a bunch of Web services on a server then all of a sudden one service gets to be well know and needs isolating, perhaps to its own machine(s). I dont want ...(truncated)...
PDC Last day - People
(Indexed 2005-09-17):
Well it was the last day of the PDC, I had a good time and met some great people. First two guys who stopped at my hotel who became my traveling companions and friends throughout the week, Joseph and Tom. Joseph works with web and Tom with Marine software and GPS. Had some fun at universal and they had some fun taking the mick out of me and my jet lag and sticking to the water instead of drinking the free beer, which lets face it a Brit turning down free beer is un heard of...(truncated)...
New Sharepoint
(Indexed 2005-09-16):
The new version of office 12 WSS is at the core of all the developments based around the office server range. What is meant by office servers is currently unsure and as for marketing and matching and costs there is no information but the design model is WSS at the core with various office servers being based on top of this, search, content management, business processes, portal, CMS. To give you a clue as to how clueless people are about the marketing of the office servers ...(truncated)...
PDC Tues
(Indexed 2005-09-14):
Hmmm, seemed like i managed to pick all the wrong tracks on Tuesday. I went to what I thought would be best for work and not what Im intersted in, this prooved a bad Idea. I looked at groove but within minutes found out groove is a client application that integrates to sharepoint. That was a major leave now signal to me so I did and moved to an office customisation session which sounded good but was about the ease of customisation of the new RibbonX bar using XML, this needs 5 ...(truncated)...
