SharePoint uses Cascading Style Sheets to control the "look and feel" of the Portal and Team Sites. Sure you can spend a few hours modifying the CSS files by hand, but wouldn't it be nice if there was a GUI that allowed you to see the changes you were making? This is where SPSkin can be used to quickly and easily generate the style sheets for your Portal and Team Sites. This product is currently in Beta. See the Beta.

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: 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.

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.

fluidnature � De-flowered: my first web part!
Can I just say first that I HATE the Image Web Part that ships with SharePoint!? I couldn’t find anything better out there (probably didn’t look long enough) so I just bit the bullet and built my first web part: it lets you choose an image from your Image Library instead of having to manually copy or type the address of the image to display!

So, the result is much simpler to use: just open the toolpane to configure the web part, select a thumbnail from the list of images and then hit apply. Much easier! (And additionally, you can set a hyperlink, margins, resize it, etc.)

Please download the webpart and let me know if it works for you. Of course, its not perfect yet (the image border property doesn’t quite work yet) but hey, its my first time!

We've got to come up with a better way to catalog Web Parts -- any ideas?

We've got to come up with a better way to catalog Web Parts -- any ideas?: "We know that there are as many, probably more, Web Parts than there are portlets for any other portal vendor, but we need to be able to prove it. We need a way to list every Web Part in existence. I am very, very open to suggestions. I'll tell you what's been tried that hasn't really worked to date:
We maintain a Web Component Directory at http://www.microsoft.com/sharepoint/downloads/components. It was intended to provide a Yellow Pages environment for administrators and power users. It includes Web Parts, but it includes other things as well. The unit of enumeration is companies' solutions, not individual Web Parts. We've supplemented it with a list of all known Web Parts that are in the box when you get several MS products, but that kind of confuses matters.
There are developer-to-developer Web Part projects or samples on http://www.gotdotnet.com and other sites, but there's no attempt to provide a comprehensive list.
There are some third-party for-profit sites like http://www.gotsharepoint.com and http://www.msd2d.com that offer catalogs of Web Parts, but there's no attempt to provide a comprehensive list, either." .....

Keep Writing SharePoint Web Parts Until (at least) 2006

Keep Writing SharePoint Web Parts Until (at least) 2006: "ASP.NET 2.0 Web Parts rock. We in SharePoint-land love them. We're building "v3" on ASP.NET 2.0. But none of that matters right now if you have to deliver code for today's SharePoint sites and portals. And this advice comes from both me in WSS/SPS-land and the Whidbey Program Manager responsible for ASP.NET 2.0 Web Parts. Here's the official word on Whidbey/WSS interoperability and compatibility:"...

TheServerSide.NET - WebParts - From Sharepoint to ASP.NET 2.0

TheServerSide.NET - WebParts - From Sharepoint to ASP.NET 2.0

The core code of SharePoint WebParts can be easily ported to ASP.NET WebParts. It goes without saying that the more platform-specific features you use, the more work is required to adapt controls. However, conceptually speaking SharePoint and ASP.NET WebParts support a nearly identical set of features so that mapping one to the other doesn’t pose insurmountable problems.

Hello World

Hello World: "For the past four years, my wife has wondered if I might not be the brightest bulb in the marquee as I have traveled the world representing Microsoft at open source conferences and events. Yet, as the Director of Shared Source for Microsoft, I have found the interaction with the open source community to be far more productive than combative. "

SharePoint Thoughts - Discussion view

SharePoint Thoughts - Discussion view: "Many of the big companies I work with have a pretty common and reasonable request - how do I track usage of my portal implementation? This is a fairly tepid story as you learn about SharePoint and read through some of our Help files and KB articles. In short, our standard story is:
You can use Usage Analysis for Windows SharePoint Services
It won't work for SharePoint Portal Server (and we took it out of the admin UI after beta 1 or 2)
KB838702 says 'No usage analysis data is collected for portal sites in Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003.'

If you look in the IIS logs, you'll see that every time you download a document from SharePoint, the individual document is NOT recorded in the logs. Instead, the DLL that streamed the file back to you is - owssrv.dll.

What's a poor user to do? Fortunately all is not as grim as things might appear. Here are some things to help steer you in the right direction."

Nice idee to talk about the log, many compagny don´t do this ananlysis...

Microsoft's plans to acquire Groove Networks

Microsoft, Groove Networks to Combine Forces to Create Anytime, Anywhere Collaboration

Microsoft's plans to acquire Groove Networks, a leading provider of collaboration software for ad-hoc workgroups," will allow the company to better meet the needs of large and small organizations for borderless project teams, as well as bring Groove founder Ray Ozzie and other top executives to Microsoft.

Ray Ozzie: Microsoft's current collaboration products and Groove build on each other's strengths. Distributed teams can use Groove to create ad-hoc workspaces that reside on team members' PCs and later have the documents, plans and other workspace content published to a managed SharePoint Web Portal. Or an individual can bring content from a SharePoint site into a Groove workspace on his or her laptop -- in order to work on that content with others, to automatically and securely synchronize it between home and work computers, or just to stay productive when temporarily disconnected from the network.
