Great.  I have been trying to find where this proces was documented.  That answered just about all my questions, only I lready have MOSS installed and not the language packs :(

BTW, you can use this (www.winimage.com/winimage.htm) to extract the files from the image.

Hey Sezai,

Its me Amith out here, planning to do my Certification on MOSS.jus tell me the formalities to register and how to prepare for it.

Congragulation Sezai and I would like to know more about the exam and how you did it is you can pleas .This is my email

hilinamulatu@gmail.com

Eat the whole Pie !

Looks for practise and test exams online, run through them and research the questions you get wrong.

Cover every topic listed in Microsoft's preparation guide. It's a lot of areas to cover, understand ALL the code samples in the MOSS SDK.

Eat healthy food, plenty of fruit and exercise in the days leading up to the exam, study a few hours the night before and get a good nights sleep.

I won't be emailing or contacting anyone directly regarding exams, all the info is in me blog post. I've given plenty of suggestions for passing already, use this knowledge wisely.

LIFESAVER!  I've been banging my head on the wall trying to figure out why I could still see all site content even after I enabled Lockdown mode.  Your tip was EXACTLY what was needed.  So simple, yet easily overlooked.

THANKS!!!!

Good to meet you last night at User Group...i'm sure the chat over those beers last night triggered this hunt...still be interested to hear more on how you are finding writing the entire thing in XML including master pages etc. for deployment....

The "read more" link does not seem to work...

Sezai,

thanks for the presentation on Tuesday.

I hope we can have more sessions, but I mentioned to Rick it would be good if we can organise a "Deep-Dive" session for all the tech heads. That would be interesting, and at least it would mean the non-techos wouldn't have to come along and get bored while the propellors are spinning.

Daren, that's a great idea.

A general problem with presenting is the varying technical level of the target audience.

I received comments from a technical person who was bored with the first 15 mins (overview of moss wcm), whereas a non-technical person would prefer that overview material compared to the last 45mins of it.

Argh, Sezai beat me to this post about SPFormContext and SPControlMode by a few hours! I have to admit

Nice write up SPSherm. You also discovered this the exact same way as me.

First hunt through the Class reference, until you hit a brick wall, then fire up Reflector and see what Microsoft's code is doing.

A sure fire way you can learn how to code in SharePoint is by running Reflector on Microsoft's SharePoint Assemblies to see how they do it.

Yes I need to re-write this post due to the 'Great sharepointblogs.com Calamity' this post was recovered as a 'stub' and most content lost.

I'll re-write this again into a new post in the future.

What will be the problem if I install the OS language pack after MOSS 2007?

I installed MOSS 2007, then OS languages, followed by server language pack for Chinese. I could create sites in Chinese and everything seemed to be working fine. I'm worried that there may be some hidden problems that I haven't found out. Can you tell me what are the problems? Thank you.

if it works then hopefully all should be okay ;)

Hi - i work as a content manager and definitely not tech, but wondered as we prepare to migrate from mcms to moss, whehter you can suggest any sharepoint solutions to deal with connected content? We have two sites to bring to moss and they share quite a number of content pages. Is there a way we can keep sharing content between the sites when we migrate? The first test migration of the first site brought the copy across, even thought it was created on the mcms site we haven't yet migrated... early days yet, but wondered if you'd faced this at all or would mind commenting on it? Thanks, T

Is there a way we can keep sharing content between the sites when we migrate?

MOSS unfortunately does NOT have a concept similar to 'connected postings'

MOSS does have a new feature you should investigate called 're-usable content' which basically is a Site List of html or text snippets that can be 're-used' in many different pages, but the content is defined once in the reusable content list.

Read these :

blog.funknstyle.com

blog.thekid.me.uk/.../using-the-reusable-content-on-a-public-website.aspx

Apologies for the messed up formatting, might fix it in the future...

In step one where is says to uninstall MOSS, for other languages such as Japanes and Spanish, you DO NOT have to uninstall/re-install MOSS, if fact I question whether you have to do it for Chinese.  I installed MOSS language packs in our farm without doing any re-installation and everything is working fine, I can create sites in Japanese and Spanish.

Hi,

This post is very useful. I am also trying to customize the search in MOSS. I need some help for that.

In my scenario I have to internally identify the managed property for which the user is searching for and get that results displayed on top of the results, i.e I want most relavant fields to be listed in the top of the results.

Is there a way to achive this through code in MOSS. The interface will look like same as default search page with one textbox for the search input.

But based on the user input internally make some tweaking and get the results in the relevant order.

How can this be achieved.

Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

mswin.

Also, I installed OS Language files, and did not require reinstall of MOSS.

Great post Sezai, thanks for the info!

I'm having the opposite problem.  I've got an anonymous site where I want people to have access to the list forms, but they get prompted.  No idea how to turn this off.  The lockdown feature reports itself as not activated!

Good clearly written article. I have to write a custom search since the OOTB search web parts do not appear to work with javascript disabled - a requirement for my client.

Thanks for posting that up Sezai!

Atleast you're thorough with your commentary on the subject, shame Microsoft couldn't do the same with their functions! I'm sure someone will write a feature add-on very shortly to cover this off.

Great website! There seems to be lots of content.

I wonder how you managed to get ALL deliverables including sites and pages under source control. Of course it is the way how it should be done but it is not easy to do it that way with MOSS.

Another interesting feature of your website is accessibility in MOSS. Not very easy too but very necessary these days.

>> ALL deliverables including sites and pages under source control, it is not easy to do it that way with MOSS

It isn't easy at all! We were working with a custom site definition and features so we decided to develop a windows form app which automatically deploys the site defintion and features as a Solution. Once deployed it automatically creates a Site Collection on a web application specified.

Once the site has been created, our custom 'Site + Pages' creation code is run on the site by our windows form app, the code reads from a custom XML file and then  creates 'Sites + Pages'. The XML file even contains Page Field data.

So this creates the site structure, ready for the content authors so they don't have to create the subsite structure.

Everything else, such as deploying Documents and Images you can do with a Feature

Deploying List templates and features can be done with a list feature

BUT The problem is that once content authors start creating sites and pages, there is no way to export that content back-out so we can put it into source safe, we need to develop even more tools for that =o(

Developing tools like these can greatly increase your development productivity. BUT they take a heck of a long time to develop, and so they are only worth building your own, if you are likely to work on many similar types of projects in the future.

Of course, it would be nicer if Microsoft developed all these tools for us, instead of leaving it up to the community!!!  But MOSS is MASSIVE so MSFT have PLENTY of work to do :)

Great looking site - clean lines - great design - easy to access information

Sezai,

Nice site. I had a question on "Most of the website is configurable via use of site lists, including header and footer links, home page service profiles and facility features".

I have looked into this also. How did you go about doing this?

Pingback from  Links (10/25/2007) &laquo; Steve Pietrek&#8217;s SharePoint Stuff

>> How did you go about doing this?

>> configurable via use of site lists, including header and footer links

Data to support elements in a web site that are common to a 'page' are stored in page fields, but elements common to the entire site can be stored in Custom Lists in the root web of the site collection.

So create custom lists to store the data, for a 'Header Links' or 'Footer Links' control you simply need a list with a Title field, to store the text of the link, and a Publishing HTML Link field to store the URL target of the link, this also provides a nice asset picker of the site. I developed the list as a custom list definition, so I could enable the 're-order items' tool that only appears for 'Links Lists'. Then develop web parts, server controls or user controls which programatically access the data in these lists, then render out the HTML that is required to display that specific element.

That's it, then your site authors simply need to navigate to those specific site lists to configure them, add or remove items, edit existing items, delete items etc. and it controls and modifies various 'global' elements in your site. To make it easier for content authors, add a custom site action menu link to your custom list so they are only two simple clicks away from configuring the site List.

Sezai,

Thanks for your notes. Today I went ahead and did exactly as you instructed. Create a simple user control which reads a "Footer Links" list and displays the links. The user control is registered on the master page.

Brilliant, thanks for the tip!

No worries Steve, glad I could help out.

but yeh it's really quite easy to do, and the code for your custom controls is actually quite small, only a few lines of object model code to access the site list and read out all the data from the list items.

I love Lists, they make SharePoint Development easy and actually more productive than standard ASP.NET development

I need to site to save my search results.Say i  type the letter 'S' in the Search box it should show me all my past searches starting letter "s"(just like in google tool bar)

How can this be achieved.

I`m Sorry in my previous post i meant

"i need the site to save my Search terms"

It was a typo.

Thanks,

Thanks for all the links Sezai...you ever thought of using something like del.icio.us or diigo for all your links? Might make it easier to sort, filter these things.

With a lot of custom development... You would need to develop your own search box control and implement some fancy custom way to store Searches made. Although I know the system can store history of previous searches, because you can view them in search reporting in your SSP, maybe you can programatically get the previous searches made from the Search logging?

Hi,

I’m   planning to develop a MOSS Portal which is going to be business (no data manipulation) views. My portal will be connected to LOB databases and fetch the results based on search criteria and display results in tabular format.

Below I have given the two types of approach what I’m planning to do.

Can you please suggest me,which the best approach?

Approach 1 – using BDC

I’m planning to develop the web service (because other non .NET application requires this data later) and connecting the web service through BDC for fetching the results.

For example once user enters the search criteria then, search criteria a will be passed on to BDC and BDC in turn will talk to web service to fetch the results.

Once the results are fetched then it will be displayed in Tabular format (DataGrid).
