Hi Mirjam.

When I read your post, I was working on the issue how to mock sharepoint elements - isolate them.

I also took howtos of MSDN site - msdn.microsoft.com/.../cc404818.aspx

"Batch Updating List Items in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0"

It is easy to isolate the dependencies in SharePoint and test some specific method. I have posted the solution of the problem in my post, using mocking framework...

Here is a link :

re: Customizing the My Site look and feel

Mirjam — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:59:53 GMT

Hi Flo,

Your stylesheet can be deployed in two locations.

* The stylelibrary

* The file system in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\<LCID>\STYLES folder

We deploy our stylesheets to the styles folder on the file system. Deployment to this folder will be automatic. You could build a feature for this and in the feature receiver write some code that will copy the stylesheet from the feature folder to the styles folder.

If you want to deploy your stylesheet to the stylelibrary you can add your stylesheet to the design feature.

The contents of your design.xml elements file would then be extended with:

</Module>

</Elements>

The <ElementManifests> tag of the feature.xml should also be extended with:

This means that the stylesheet with the name custom.css is stored in the StyleSheets folder in the feature folder.

I hope this helps...

Regards,

Mirjam

Hi Ajay,

For starters: it's always better to add a custom site definition then adjusting the default one.

But to answer your question...

A site definition is build up out of at least three files:

* An onet.xml file that is deployed in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\SiteTemplates\<name of the site definition>\xml folder. Changes to the onet.xml will not effect existing sites. This can be handy sometimes, but it can also be a pain in the ass if you want to make adjustments to all your existing sites.

* A default.aspx file that is deployed in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\SiteTemplates\<name of the site definition> folder. This file contains the web part zones and adjustments will also effect existing sites. This will however not effect data, only the visibility of web parts placed in web part zones that you change or delete can be effected.

* A webtemp.xml file in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\<LCID>\XML folder. This is merely the registration of your site definition and some metadata, like the visibility of the site definition to the end user. Changes to this file will also not effect existing sites and will not effect any data.

So the answer is "No, you will not lose data if you change a site definition" ;:-).

Regards,

Mirjam

Best regards,

re: The "datenoyear" field in the SharePoint user profiles

heideckerj — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 00:54:36 GMT

I'm just trying to do a people search using the birthday property (without a year) and can not get any results. The value in the property displays as "December 08", however when I do a search it is not found (this is after a full crawl has completed). I even tried "08 December" just in case there was a format issue. Any ideas?

After rename the server and correct the links, I found that the photo of My Site of the users were not displayed.

I can view the photo of the users in the list of the portal users, but when I go to the user's My Site I can't see the user photo.

Felipe Vallejo — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 22:10:43 GMT

Hi Mirjam, I did that but when i try to create a new page i'm getting the following error "There are no page layout files available in the master page library of the top-level site. Add one or more page layouts to this library before you create a page or set page properties.". The problem seems to be because SharePoint can't query the master and layouts library, but i can still using the site settings link to see the masters and layouts pages.

do you know what the problem can be?

Thanks in advance.
