HowTO Quickly Access Web Part Management Page

HowTO Quickly Access Web Part Management Page: "If you're ever having an issue with the view of your page and your need to get to the web part maintenance page to quickly reset a personal view back to the default shared view, simply amend the url with "?contents=1"
I.E. http://myserver/mysite/default.aspx?contents=1
I recently had an issue with personalized views and used this page as an alternative to going into SQL and blowing out the views there. It's a much safer route to go." Nice solution useful thanks Mark Kruger.

We'll examine WSS document library server-side events and will develop a .NET event handler class for asynchronous server-side processing of those events. In the end, you'll have a working recycle bin for document libraries. Additionally, the lessons learned will help you write your own custom workflow applications based on the WSS document library event model."

SharePoint look'n'feel and web parts do not integrate seamlessly in an area we want to control.. If we consider that

SharePoint is an ASP.NET application, we are able to use other .NET techniques to deliver the look and customisation

we want. One of those methods is via compiled controls. Most commonly used would be user controls but we can also write

Additionally, Microsoft does not support modifying the .xml files or the .aspx files in the custom site definition or in the custom area definition after you deploy the custom site definition or the custom area definition.' Besides ghosting I thought that exactly this point was the powerful thing about site definitions!!

PortalsMag.com: Microsoft ERP Roadmap

PortalsMag.com: Microsoft ERP Roadmap: "Burgum also underlined the importance of Microsoft SharePoint Portal, which will serve as an organizational and presentation layer for workflow, connectivity, and communications. Finally, via Web services, Microsoft ERP architecture reflects an 'approach of opening up the APIs of our current product lines to allow the deep integration of other products and allow extensions to occur by your partners and by ISVs.' This will be of particular benefit to larger customers with a greater need for customization and vertical-specific functionality."

SharePoint: Add a Recycle Bin to Windows SharePoint Services for Easy Document Recovery -- MSDN Magazine, February 2005

SharePoint: Add a Recycle Bin to Windows SharePoint Services for Easy Document Recovery -- MSDN Magazine, February 2005: "In this article, we'll take advantage of the extensibility of WSS and both its server-side and client-side object models to build a restore feature that works like the Recycle Bin in Windows Explorer. We'll examine WSS document library server-side events and will develop a .NET event handler class for asynchronous server-side processing of those events. In the end, you'll have a working recycle bin for document libraries. Additionally, the lessons learned will help you write your own custom workflow applications based on the WSS document library event model." EROL MVP SPS www.mysps.info & www.clubsps.org

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.
