This is a bit of a kludge in SharePoint 2007. In your site collection how do you move your search scope from one display group to another? Logically you would expect there to be an option in the context menu (i.e. Site Settings -> Search Scopes [Under Site Collection Administration]) of the search scope, or be able to change it in the subsequent page when clicking the search scope. That isnt the way. Here is how you would have to do it. 1. On the Search Scopes Page click on the name of the display...

In a MOSS publishing site (can I say CMS 2007?) there is an editor in which you can change the navigation elements shown on the Top Navigation. At first glance you would assume that it would be easy to manupilate elements on that top navigation bar through code. Infact Todd has an in-depth article showing you how to add and remove items from the navigation bar. But have you tried to hide an element. Its not as easy at it would seem. TheSPNavigationNode.IsVisible propperty is readonly, and I am yet...

MOSS B2 TR expired on me today. It took me totally by surprise. I backdated the machine by one day and it was fine. Brought it forward by one day, and it said the trial period had expired. Was a bit confused since all web posting for this issue cliam it happens on Domain Controller, and my MOSS server wasnt a domain controller. Anyways the fix is to run the patch for the DC. StandaloneDCWorkaround.msi Thanks for the link Jan tags: SharePoint, Moss, Office Server, 2007, Beta 2, Technical Refresh,...

The Title Column inherrited from Item typically shows itself up in any contentType that would define. But ever wanted to call it something else? Here is how you do it. <FieldRef ID="{fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b86... Name="Title" DisplayName="Your Other Name for Title" Sealed="TRUE"/> The trick is in the DisplayName. Reference the Title Colulmn and give it a seperate DisplayName And you could even have a go at LinkTitle <FieldRef ID="{82642ec8-ef9b-478f-acf... Name="LinkTitle"...

Having to upgrade servers to B2TR today, I was wondering, it would really be cool to have a tool that could backup ContentTypes that you have defined using SharePoint into a feature definition. That would actually make defining ContentTypes as a feature more easy, provide a means of porting them between servers, and also assist as a means of fascilitating granular backup. Does anyone else see eye to eye with me on this? I am thinking that if Microsoft doesnt have this on their radar it might be an...

I deployed a sample ASP .NET 2.0 app in to the _layouts directory of a WSS v 3 setup. This app was not precompiled. When the app runs, executing code that accesses the SP object model gave me the error "Unable to Validate Data". I can think of any reasoning behind that error. But after resetting IIS, all was fine. Note to Self: Recycle the Application pool after each deployment. Technorati : 2007, Sharepoint, Wss, v3 Cross-posted from tariqayad.com...
