SharePoint Portal Server 2003 and the Research feature of Office 2003 and Internet Exporer 6
A collegue of mine (thanks Carlo!) pointed out a standard feature of SharePoint Portal Server 2003: you can search your Portal through the Research pane in Office 2003 and Internet Explorer 6. There is actually not much information on this topic available. This information is for example NOT documented in the SharePoint Portal Server User help and Administrators help (some work to do for the next version of the documentation, you guys at Microsoft!!!!). In most online Microsoft documents you don't find much more than: Integration in the Microsoft Office System Research and Reference Pane: Microsoft Office System users can search a SharePoint portal site from the Research and Reference Pane I can't find anything on the “Reference Pane”, I think it is the same thing as the research Pane. You can find it under “Tools - Research...” menu in your Office 2003 applications. Funy thing is that they find it really important if you look at the default configured shortcut: Alt-Click. Microsoft offers even a whole one day course on the topic: http://www.microsoft.com/traincert/syllabi/2016afinal.asp

I did some Googling, but the only real documentation on how to configure it can be found in the whitepaper “Microsoft® SharePoint™ Portal Server 2003 - Specific Arabic Features“, a must read! I love those screenshots! Have a look at http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/arabicdev/dotnetservers/SharePointPortal/wpapers2003.asp#37 for the whole document.

How to get specific usage ? How to collect any usage of web parts, content lists and document libraries ?

How-to: Display Contents of a SharePoint List From Another Site

How-to: Display Contents of a SharePoint List From Another Site

FitzBlog :

FitzBlog :

Any Web Part you write using today’s technology will work in the next version of Windows SharePoint Services.
WSS “v3” will support both the ASP.NET 2.0 and the WSS “v2” Web Part infrastructures.
Your Web Parts will not become obsolete.

CAML will still be the primary means of list/view data retrieval and formatting in WSS “v3”.
(Looping through object model collections will of course work, too,)

FrontPage RPCs will still be the only means by which you can upload a file, set meatadata on it, and check it in (or retrieve a file with its metadata and check it out) with a single remote call, and do so using a technique that reliably handles large blocks of data. Neither WebDAV nor SOAP can make this claim. You should use FrontPage RPCs to have your SmartClients save documents to/read documents from SharePoint sites.

Mike FITZMAURICE is a developer evangelism contact within Microsoft for Windows® SharePoint® Services (WSS) and Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Portal Server 2003 (SPS). I cover what we're doing in Redmond, with explanations and the occasional apology. If you have ideas on how we can help you develop with SharePoint® Products and Technologies, this is a good place for feedback.

The WSS "60 Hive"

The WSS "60 Hive": "The WSS '60 Hive'
In the Mindsharp Summit for SharePoint Developers, I teach students how to exploit Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) and SharePoint Portal Server (SPS). But before we delve into things like creating custom Web Parts, Web Part properties, Web Part Tool Parts, and Event Sinks; we explore how SharePoint initializes sites using the underlying Site Definitions in the 60 Hive. I like to say that the 60 Hive is the starting place for everything SharePoint. At the very least, it is the basic building block upon which everything else in SharePoint is built.
I use the following image to explain how the 60 Hive is structured:"...

If you are an Information Office Worker or new to Windows SharePoint Services (WSS), check out my latest book: Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Step by Step. I wrote a quarter of the content and put together the practice CD. Olga Londer, Penny Coventry, and James Edelen were great to work with too.

My plans are to write two new technical books for SharePoint v3. One would be for programmers that are new to SharePoint and need to learn what the v3 environment has to offer. The other would be for experienced SharePoint v2 programmers that need to understand how to move their v2 implementations to v3, take advantage of some advanced v3 only techniques, and consuming v3 as a development platform rather than just a knowledge management system. If you have ideas that you would like to see included in these efforts, please email me directly at my Mindsharp email address.
