Sharepoint Dojo

I decided to move spd over to wordpress as i feel i am abit out of place here on tumblr.
Feel free to rebook mark
here is the new address;

http://sharepointdojo.wordpress.com

The task seemed simple. Have sharepoint crawl file servers and create a search page that only shows those results.

Here is how to do that:

I decided to take this class with some fellow co workers (yay im not the only sharepoint guy anymore!), in order to continue to grow my sharepoint skills.

It is day 2 of this class, and already I can see that the sharepoint administration class is a must!
We have spent considerable time explaining security practices which will allow you to the things required for the labs.

So far, there have been tons of useful information on the customization of sharepoint. I have met some really cool people at the class. If you are reading this feel free to post up any questions or comments and I will do my best to help you out.

Remember, there are many ways to skin a cat!

Hope to hear from you all soon.

So after the DST hot fix that came in 2007, both my farms are 1 hour behind.

WHY?

I tried reapplying the hotfixes…nope.
I tried restarting the time services…nope.
IISRESET……NOPE.

Current sp version is 12.0.0.6318

How is this happening?

Ok i found out how its happening. The regional settings of the site itself where set to time setting tijuana time.
Once i set it to the correct time zone and propagated to all sites, it worked. But how did they all get to that other time zone?
Isn’t the site collection general settings time zone supposed to override it all?
And what about mysites? How do i do them all at once?

If you are a dork like me and you put the redirect value to 0 like i did below, you will probably not be able to get to the original page you wanted redirected.
Here is how you can.

Nifty little java scrip trick.
Here is how you do it::

1. add a content a content web editor part to your site.
2 in the source editor put this code in:
[HTML]
[HEAD]
[SCRIPT language=”JavaScript”]
[!—
function redirectsp()
{
top.location=”http://sharepoint”;
}
if (top.frames.length==0)
{
setTimeout(‘redirectsp()’,0);
}
//—>
[/SCRIPT]
[/HEAD]
[body]
Redirecting you to the new location. If you are not redirected, click [a href=”http://sharepoint”>HERE.[/a]
[/body]
[/html]

Replace [] with

you can set the delay on this if you like.
Thanks to jeff holiday for this:

Implementing an NLB cluster with windows 2008 and Moss 2007 isn’t as easy you think, especially if you are trying to access the NLB cluster from a different subnet.

According to MS you must add the default gateway to the local arp table of the server.

The original command would be arp -s but more than likely you will get an access denied or unable to create arp entry error 5.

The way around this is to use the Netsh command to connect to the IPV4 lac.

Here are the specific steps:
step1: type cmd then ctrl + shift + enter to get admin privilege

step2: I am assuming that you want to bind you default gateway’s ip with its mac. so just get the mac address of that,

normally it could be find under web entry eg http://192.168.0.1 or have a look at you device mannual.

step3: in the cmd windows, type

netsh -c “interface ipv4”

this command is going to enter the the configuration context under interface ipv4, then you will see the prompty become like ‘netsh interface ipv4>’

step4: type —> set neighbors “Connection_name” “A.B.C.D” “XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX”

where Connection_name could be. eg, in english version of vista, it is normally be

“Local Area Connection”

A.B.C.D is the ip address that you want to bind

XX-XX-….-XX-XX is the MAC address associate with A.B.C.D

after you done this , you can check it wil arp -a, and you can see that it has be statically bind A.B.C.D to the XX-…-XX

This guy is good. Real good.
Want to embed infopath into a webpart?
here is how

This has always vexed me. I want users to just click a link instead of going to the library and click new.
here is the trick

This is a great way to display the people search options every time you navigate to the search center.

thannks to Steven Van De Craen for his contribution:
http://www.moss2007.be/blogs/vandest/archive/2007/08/28/sharepoint-2007-people-search-options-shown-by-default-repost.aspx

Instructions

Go to the People Search Page in your SharePoint Portal and modify the page (eg. /SearchCenter/Pages/people.aspx)

Add a Content Editor Web Part right below the People Search Box Web Part
Add the following javascript to the CEWP:

// Iterate through all anchors on the page and find the one with ID ending in _PSB_Show
for (j = 0; j {
if (anchors[j].id.match(/\_PSB_Show$/) != null)
{
anchor = anchors[j];
break;
}
}

// If the anchor is found and the click is supported in the current browser
// Perform a click after 100 ms
if ((anchor != null) && (anchor.click != null))
{
setTimeout(“anchor.click();”, 100);
}

Mark the Web Part as hidden and optionally give it a friendly name.
