Packaging an existing webpart as a solution

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:21:21 Z

Hi there

We have an existing web part which has been successfully deployed to a production environment, however we would like to repackage that webpart as a solution. I have used WSP Builder to do this and then deployed the web part to a dev MOSS server.

However i get an error when trying to add the webpart to a page (A WebPart or Web Form Control cannon be displayed or imported. The type could not be found or it is not registered as safe). I suspect this is because it has additional resources that it relies on for example an XML config file, which is not added to the .WSP. Do you have any documentation on packaging web parts and the correct locations for the different components (ie controls, resources, .webpart and .xml config files ect)?

I have confirmed that the dlls used have been deployed correctly to the GAC on the server (so they should be safe anyway), Ive also tried adding it as a safe control in the web.config but neither have changed the error im getting

Thanks

List permission

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:23:33 Z

Hello All,

I have made some changes to list permissions to only allow users to delete or edit their own tasks and discussion threads. It works as it should but the problem is the edit and delete options still show in the menus. How can I either hide these options for items that the user does not own or create an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to edit or delete this item".

I am looking at meeting workplace in template, I like it the fact that you can do various things eg create, upload document add attendees etc to a particular meeting.

however, i am lost when you have weekly meeting for instance, and you want to archive and able to search the old meeting.

Does MOSS have these such features too?

Microsoft Transporter Suite does not migrate embedded documents html anchors from Lotus Notes/Domino into sharepoint

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 01:54:59 Z

Tools Involved: Lotus Notes/Domino, Sharepoint Server, Microsoft Transporter Suite

The Problem involves migrating Rich HTML from Lotus Domino Document Libraries to Sharepoint Discussion Boards using Microsoft Transporter Suite.
Microsoft Transporter successfully moves the rich html documents with all Embedded Documents moved as attachments to the discussion items.
Though Embedded Documents get moved successfully their HTML anchors inside the document html gets lost i.e. There is no sign of the embedded documents left inside the html which used to display as html anchors inside notes/domino documents.
The migrated rich text is not much usefull this way.
We are left to using partial search and replace solutions that will not prove usefull eventually.

Please help with this. Is there some default setting inside transporter that I need to override to get this done?

Add Items to SPListItemCollection

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:02:52 Z

Hi,

i have a loop to get different items with a spquery in my collection, at the end of the loop i would like to sum these items to one big collection of all items...

code example:

SPList list = web.Lists["Sitzungen"];
                    SPQuery q = new SPQuery();
                    SPQuery sitzungen = new SPQuery();

                    sitzungen.Query = "<Where><IsNotNull><FieldRef Name='Title' /></IsNotNull></Where><OrderBy><FieldRef Name='Datum' Ascending='False'/></OrderBy>";
                    SPListItemCollection sitzcol = list.GetItems(sitzungen);

                    SPListItemCollection alleBeschlüsse = null;

                    foreach (SPListItem c in sitzcol)
                    {
                        q.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='ContentType'/><Value Type='Text'>Beschluss</Value></Eq></Where>";
                        q.ViewAttributes = "Scope=\"Recursive\"";
                        if (c.Folder != null)
                            q.Folder = c.Folder;
                        SPListItemCollection col = list.GetItems(q);
                       
                    }

please dont look @query text, cause they are nonsense is just for a test program...
at the end i get the items i want in the SpistItemCollection "col" now i want sum in every loop the items of these collection to get all my items...

thanks, markus

ASP.NET includes on a sharepoint site?

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 21:02:21 Z

Hello!

I'm building a few simple .aspx pages on a WSS 3.0 site, and my page includes don't seem to be working.

My code is:

<p></p>

which shows up as grayed out and the included file doesn't appear on the page. I tried putting the absolute path in there as well and it didn't work.

I've also changed my footer.inc from a full html page (with <html> and <body> tags) to just a simple bit of text and it still won't work.

Is there a trick to creating the .inc file? I'm coming from a php world so perhaps I'm aproaching this with some residual framework in mind that's causing problems.

More information: I'm creating a footer file that I want to appear in all my .aspx pages. So it's just a simple footer.

Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

Changing Folder Icon Based On ContentType (Or Merely How To Add Additional Icon)

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 18:20:42 Z

I'm fairly new to SharePoint and am curious how I change the Folder.gif icon into a different icon based on the folders content type.

I looked in Docicons.xml, seems like it's only for document icons by extension. I've tried in vain to add the DocIcon Field to my custom content type and putting an icon in there. Seems like an option would be to make the folder look like a file and therefore pull the icon out of docicons.xml (but not sure what other adverse affects I'd see). None of these solutions worked for me. I'd use JavaScript but can't determine the content types from the front end without building some asynchronous call to query the server code (don't like that approach but may be only option right now).

I've gone as far as searching the 12 hive for instances of folder.gif - have found it in many places and am now trying to figure out how the puzzle goes back together.

I'm assuming I need to modify something in either ONET.xml or Fieldswss.xml - but really have no idea even where the info is in the XML that would be parsed (is this XML merely the List xml?).

Any help would be greatly appreciate. I understand there are a variety of issues with using folders but our client mandated it and that is that...

Problem getting permission for the user from the TASK list.

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:28:25 Z

Hi All,

I have a document library (namely, Business Services), its attached to OOTB Approval workflow and workflow is attached to the TASK list.
Apparently, I wrote a an event handler (ItemUpdating ) because "contributor" can approve his own document. So, we have modified the behavior of OOTB Approval workflow. Its seems "by design". Please see this link about OOTB Approval workflow issue.

We have 2 users:
1) vm1/contributor (with contribute permission on "Business Services " document library)
2) vm1/approver (with approve permission on "Business Services " document library)

This is my event handler:

The event handler is hooked to the "TASK" list and I am able to get the "vm1/contributor" as well.
But I need to get the permission of the user (vm1/contributor ) who is from "Business services" lists.

Can somebody advice me on this?

Thank you.

Sending email from SharePoint

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 22:32:47 Z

Hello:

I am using SPUtility.SendEmail to send an email via SharePoint customized webpart. The code is working on our development server (Which is a standalone sharepoint server).

In our production envrionment we have two WFE and two QRY and one IDX server, which are protected by firewall. I have configured the Outgoing mail setup on central admin with appropriate SMTP server. But I can not send the email via SPUtility.SendEmail. I also tried system.net.mail but the same code is working on our dev but not on our production.

I need to know that do I have to configure something else then 'Outgoing email settings' ?
I can see from FireWall that WFE requests are being forwarded to correct SMTP server on port 25.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

Updating list item value on the ItemAdding event handler of an Item Receiver class

Thu, 05 Feb 2009 23:50:17 Z

I got an Event Handler Receiver class attached to a content type (custom list) within a site. On my ItemAdding event handler, I am trying to change the value of a field and update it with another value. I keep on getting a Null reference error on the actual value of the AfterProperties or ListItem value. This is my event handler method:

        public override void ItemAdding(SPItemEventProperties properties) 
        { 
            using (SPWeb web = properties.OpenWeb()) 
            { 
                DisableEventFiring(); 
                string workordercreated = properties.AfterProperties["Work Order Created"].ToString(); 
                if (workordercreated == "No") 
                { 
                    properties.ListItem["Work Order Created"] = "Yes"; 
                    properties.ListItem.Update(); 
                } 
                EnableEventFiring(); 
            } 
        } 
 

I cannot get a value of this line:

string workordercreated = properties.AfterProperties["Work Order Created"].ToString();

or using

string workordercreated = properties.ListItem["Work Order Created"].ToString();

any ideas?

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:00:22 Z

Custom webpart which has sort header and other reference links

Hi the normal OOTB standard webparts to look at listitems look nice ie have nice header , the ability to sort from the headers. I want to incorporate this in my custom webpart based on custom list and also want the following

1. For a list item there is a workflow progress field , I want a hyperlink for the particular listitem. I see it points to wrkStat.aspx but how do i get the rest of the querystring has it says List=??????&WorkflowInstanceId=?????

2. For a list item I am reading it has the username column, it has a hyperlink userdisp.aspx?id=?????? , how do i get the ID of the person based on a user column.

3. I want a webpart which automatically refreshes say every 5mins

query on datagrid

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 06:43:33 Z

Hi

I want to query a datagrid on the page. possibly using Linq.

My purpose is to extract data of a column into an IList:-
currently doing like:-
for each(raddatagrid item in radgrid.items)
{
lst.add(item["uniquecolumnname"].text);
}

but Due to performance concerns, I want to use Linq directly to populate "uniquecolumnname" string values to another Ilist<string>.

please suggest how to query a datagrid item collection directly.

ItemCheckedIn event called twice?

Hi, I have an event handler on my document library that is called twice when a document is checked in or uploaded.

                        bool isCurrentlyRunning = false;
                        SPWorkflowCollection wfRunningCollection = wfmanager.GetItemActiveWorkflows(properties.ListItem);

                        foreach (SPWorkflow runningWorkflow in wfRunningCollection)
                        {
                           if (runningWorkflow.ParentAssociation.BaseId == wf.BaseId)
                           {
                              isCurrentlyRunning = true;
                           }
                        }

                        try

standards in ammending out of the box js files which is in the layouts folder

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:07:47 Z

The way to handle .js files in laouts folder

OK the scenerio is I have to put some JavaScript on form.js as I need to put some extra code to validate sharepoint fields , therefore ammended PreSaveItem()
I wish to point out there is also preSaveAction() which you can put on customized newform.aspx or editform.aspx but I cannot customize these forms therefore I am to use the standard newform.aspx,editform.aspx

My concerns is (thinking out loud) I should put my code in a custom.js and have an override method therefore I am not ammending Form.js.

Is this right and how do i plan for this and how do i do an override on a standard method ?

How to retrive Listviewwebpart from the page?

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:23:30 Z

I dropped a ListViewWebPart in on the "Default_xxx.aspx" page.

Now I need this webpart when I am activating a feature. How can I retrive this Listviewwebpart ID in Feature activated method?

Error seen after adding customized web part to web part zone.

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:27:49 Z

I have created a simple data capture web part consisting of three text boxes. This has been done using Visual Studio 2008. I have created a corresponding list in my SharePoint site with three identically named columns.

I can build and deploy my web part successfully using Visual Studio 2008. However, when I try to import the web part into my site for testing purposes, I see an error: "Error rendering control - Control Name. An unhandled exception has occurred. Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

I have tried everything I can to try and resolve this. Can anyone help?

Any way to bind a lists choice field to a dropdownlist for editing in SPGridView?

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:32:25 Z

I am hoping that this is a simple question to answer.

I have a list which contains a choice field with 4 options in it. I have a web part with a SPGridView of this list. At the moment I have this configured so that I can edit date and text fields, but I would also like to be able to change the choice field using a dropdownlist control.

I presume that my ascx file changes to something like:

<ItemTemplate><asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblRMRecordStatus" Text='<%#Bind ("RMRecordStatus") %>' /></ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate><asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="ddlRecordStatus" Text='<%#Bind ("RMRecordStatus") %>' /></EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Expiry Date" >
<ItemTemplate><asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblRMExpiryDate"  Text='<%#Bind ("RMExpiryDate", "{0:d}") %>' /></ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate><asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtExpiryDate" Text='<%#Bind ("RMExpiryDate", "{0:d}") %>' /></EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

Where RMRecordStatus is the name of the Choice Field that I want to use. With this configuration, I get the current setting displayed when viewing, but when I click on edit I get an empty drop down list.

If the options available are, say Option1, Option2, Option3 and Option4, and the current value in the item is Option2, then I would like Option2 to be selected, and all the options available in the dropdownlits. - Just like when editing the item "normally" :-)

Most things I have found link the dropdownlist to another list, or a SQL database...

Jeff

Is there a way to use the layout from default.aspx in new webpart pages?

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 21:25:39 Z

I've made some new custom pages in my site. However, I want the top title area and breadcrumbs to look like they do on the default.aspx page. Is there some easy way to do this or do I need to create a custom.master page that I can apply to these pages?

Deploy solution to a Web Application scope?

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 18:14:38 Z

Hello, I'm having some trouble installing a solution package into a specific web application only. Specifically, the solution has exactly one Feature, which is set to a WebApplication scope in the feature.xml file.

I've already successfully installed this solution globally but I would like to get this installed only on one web application.

There's very little XML involved, so I'll post the actual files below (anonymized portions are highlighted purple):

Feature.xml (my feature)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

manifest.xml (my solution - generated by WSPBuilder but I'll take the blame if something's wrong )

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

- <!--

 Solution created by WSPBuilder. 10/16/2007 10:17:06 AM

-->

- <Solution xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" SolutionId="[[guid]]" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">

- <FeatureManifests>

</FeatureManifests>

</Solution>

stsadm commands I've been using to add/deploy this:

stsadm -o addsolution -filename [[solutionfilename]]

stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs

stsadm -o deploysolution -name [[solutionfilename]] -url http://test404/ -immediate

Specific error message I receive when running the stsadm -o deploysolution command:

This solution contains no resources scoped for a Web application and cannot be deployed to a particular Web application.

Specific web.config -> Configuration object?

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:55:01 Z

Inside a web application feature I try to get a Configuration object of the web.config file.

I tried this:

config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/", webApp.Name);
config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/15678", webApp.Name);

=> Exception:
Failed to resolve the site ID for 'MyWebApplicationName'.

('MyWebApplicationName' == webApp.Name).

Why does SharePoint want to resolve the site ID for 'MyWebApplicationName'?

My folder structure looks like this:

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\15678

and the wanted web.config is located in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\15678\web.config.

I've had a look at the msdn docs (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151456.aspx) and a comment in this post http://www.andrewconnell.com/blog/articles/CreatingCustomSharePointTimerJobs.aspx but without any success.

How can I access key/value pairs in a specific web.config?

SharePoint Custom Field Type & MultipleLookupField

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:29:43 Z

Hi,

I have made my "CustomFieldType" and got deployed and working fine. Except one thing.
My "FieldControl" in New and Edit mode is not being shown as I wanted.

ListBox is being shown fine, but my MultipleLookupField is not being shown at all. It doesn't even throws any exceptions.
What am I doing wrong?

ListBox lb;
MultipleLookupField mlf;

protected override void CreateChildControls()
{
    base.CreateChildControls();
    NNLookupField field = (NNLookupField)Field;
    SPList list = SPContext.Current.Web.Lists.GetList(new Guid(field.ListID.ToString()), true);
    if (list != null && list.Items.Count > 0)
    {
        mlf = new MultipleLookupField();
        mlf.ControlMode = SPControlMode.Edit;
        mlf.FieldName = "Related";
        mlf.ItemId = list.Items[0].ID;
        mlf.ListId = list.ID;
        mlf.ID = "Related";
        this.Controls.Add(mlf);

        lb = new ListBox();
        foreach (SPListItem item in list.Items)
        {
            lb.Items.Add(new ListItem(item.Title, item.ID.ToString()));
        }
        this.Controls.Add(lb);
    }
}

SPList return the List Row ID given the first occurance of a given column value?

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:18:53 Z

This is just a test.. and I'm sure there is a much more elegant way to do this.. this code is failing nonetheless with this at the condition. Note I have two columns I'm working with.. the one I'm looking up and the Row ID I want back.

An error occurred during the compilation of the requested file, or one of its dependencies. Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'bool'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite("http://somesite");
SPWeb web = siteCollection.OpenWeb();
SPList mylist = web.Lists["MyList"];
SPField field = mylist.Fields["MyKey"]; 
foreach(SPListItem spli in mylist.Items) 
            
      { 
          if (spli[field.Id] = 125)
              {
                Response.Write("want the ID of the row here");
              }
      } 
}

I've got two issues:

1. How do I cast that condition so that I can compare to a numeric value? MyKey is numeric
2. How do I return the ID of the Row

Thanks for any help or information!

Programatically creating a folder in sharepoint list

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:43:13 Z

All,

I am trying to create a folder in a sharepoint list. I was able to add a folder in a document library but not in a sharepoint list. This is the code i tried. The commented one is for Document Library which worked but not for the list. Please advise.

Regards,

//Cabinet Documents List

//SPDocumentLibrary CabinetDocuments = (SPDocumentLibrary)web.Lists["Test"];

SPList

CabinetDocuments = web.Lists["CabinetDocuments"];

SPFolderCollection Folder = web.Folders;

Folder.Add(

SPContext.Current.Web.Url + "/Lists/" + "CabinetDocuments" + "/");

//Folder.Add("http://moss-test:11111/sites/infotech/cpw/Test/" + "Folder" +"/");

CabinetDocuments.Update();

Keep version history when moving a document

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 19:32:32 Z

In this article you can see that moving document through Site content and structure allows you not to loose the version history of the document.

http://sphelpdesk.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!D9676F3678CF7BE7!173.entry?wa=wsignin1.0&sa=336374930

the thing is that I would like to implement this behavior through a custom actions.

Can sy tell me what technique they are using to do that ? FP RPC, WebDav ? custom object model code which does not appear in the api ?

thx in advance

"There are no page layout files available in the master page library of the top-level site..."

Mon, 12 Nov 2007 16:59:16 Z

I deployed a page layout via a feature to the Site Col. and I now receive this error upon trying to create a new page.

"There are no page layout files available in the master page library of the top-level site. Add one or more page layouts to this library before you create a page or set page properties"

I verified that the feature is activated and the page layout (and the OOTB page layouts) are in the master page gallary.

Has anyone seen this error? I assume that there is a problem with my page layout. But this error is fairly generic.

Thanks

Text Field to Item Level Security Event Receiver

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:43:33 Z

I have a Text Field (Last Name, First Name) Like Smith, Harry. in my code I am having trouble getting it in the right format in my ItemAdded so I can give this person Contribute Rights. I have everything else working (elevated priv., Current user being added, breaking inheritance etc.) I just can't seem to figure out how to put this Employee Name field into the Item Level permissions. I think it doesn't like the format it's in.

WebPart Feature scoped to Web does not get populated to special group

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:48:24 Z

Hi,

We want to deploy a webpart with scope="Web", so that it will be available only for a subsite where this feature is activated and we also want to have this webpart to appear under a special category instead of miscellaneous group.

I have created the required feature.xml, elements.xml, .webpart file. This work fine when the feature scope is set "Site", but when I change the scope to "Web" and then after activating the feature,

1. I do not see the webpart in WebPart gallary.
2. Also when I try to add a webpart using add web part button, I do not see those webparts, I have to explicitly populate those again
3. After explicitly populating those webpart, it comes under the miscellaneous group not in my special group

This means when the webpart feature scope is set to "Web", none of the properties set in elements.xml and .webpart file are working. Does it mean I cannot create a group for my webpart when then feature scope is set to "Web"

There is an another thread (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sharepointdevelopment/thread/87b224e6-8053-4db1-9314-f8f7b6371197) which has discussed a similar issue, but I don't think it been answered there.

Thanks in advance,
Sanban

Problems using a FormField in a custom WebControl

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 10:18:15 Z

I'm trying to use a FormField control inside a custom webcontrol to use inside a DataFormWebPart...
I've got a DFWP configured to insert data in a list, working correctly.
I'm coding a custom webcontrol, I add a Label control to it for testing and works correctly.
When I add a FormField I get this error:
