InfoPath forms may contain variable definitions which are not referenced by any view. Existance of these variables slow down form load times. This article presents a script for automatic clean-up of such variables.

These two articles just made my day. At least, they made my intranet portal a much better “place to live”. How to host Microsoft InfoPath forms in SharePoint pages Infopath – Get the current user without writing code (the current user from SharePoint site, of course)

Have you ever wondered why the SharePoint team decided to show only filename in dropdown menus, but not the title of the document? So when you save your file with an unreadable filename, it is displayed in your list and looks something like this (Historical note: it was not the case in SharePoint 2001. They [...]

It’s a known issue that if you delete the “Top Navigation” menu through the API in SharePoint 2007, you cannot restore it easily. I came across this problem in one of my development sites. When looking for a solution, I found this article, saying you have to do it through the database. The code below [...]

Ever wondered why SharePoint “lists web service” (i.e., lists.asmx) lives in an interesting address of http://mossserver/sites/somesite/_vti_bin/lists.asmx ? This is actually not the only place where you can see the magic _vti_something. I remember myself deleting such directories from “wwwroot” quite often back in the days “everyone” used MS FrontPage. FrontPage used to create the folders [...]

I just found an interesting “feature” in MOSS publishing infrastructure. We’re designing a custom master page for our MOSS portal solution. If I recall correctly, we started with Heather Solomon’s minimal master page, but I’m not really sure. We swiped out all of the built-in styles and layouts to achieve maximum flexibility and stylability of [...]

This is rather a question or an idea for a discussion than a regular blog post. I’m just wondering how does one count LOC in Sharepoint? Or, to be more general, how do you measure the amount of work that has been invested in creating a solution in Sharepoint. A solution can consist of content [...]

Kad uzinstalēsiet Sharepoint valodu paku, par kuru rakstīju iepriekšējā ierakstā un gribēsiet, lai “viss būtu pavisam latviski”, var gadīties vilties tāpat kā man. SPPS ļauj glīti nomainīt gan “Sort order”, gan “Locale” katram atsevišķam Web vai Site objektam. To dara apmēram šādi. Varam uzstādīt latviešu lokāli un latviešu kārtošanas secību. Rezultātā iegūstam, ka konkrētā vietne [...]

Šodien (31.07.2007) ir nopublicēta latviešu valodas paka, kas paredzēta Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server. Tā pieejama Microsoft lejupielāžu centrā “par velti”, tas ir, licencēšanas noteikumi tie paši vecie. Ļoti ceru, ka tulkojums būs pilnīgs un bez īpaši pamanāmām kļūdām. Lejupielāde: MOSS2007 valodu paka. Ja nepieciešama valodu paka “plikajam” Windows Sharepoint Services, tā pieejama jau ilgāku laiku.Te [...]
