    Design and build sites for Office SharePoint Server 2007

    The goal of this guide is to provide prescriptive guidance that can help you and your team build custom enterprise sites by using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 — such as company-wide portal sites or Internet presence sites. Custom sites based on Office SharePoint Server 2007 combine coded elements, such as workflows, document converters, and Web Parts, along with content, such as master pages, layout pages, graphics files, and Web pages. Best practices for developing these sites include setting up multiple environments for developing, integrating, piloting, and deploying coded elements and content from one environment to another. Therefore, coordinating the development and deployment of an enterprise site based on Office SharePoint Server 2007 is a complex activity. This guide describes the ways you can set up the multiple environments used in the development read here more

  • SharePoint Lookup fields does not support “user or groups”

     

    Hi,It has been a while since I wrote any new blog entries because I got married J and guess what l am the luckiest man on earth with my wife and also I have reallocated my job from Estarta - Jordan to Injazat Data Systems - UAE (a joint venture between Mubadala and EDS) so my hand were little bit full.Anyways I decided I will update my blog with a series of entries to recap my absence and as a start I noticed something very strange in SharePoint lists lookup fields, I was doing a presentation for a client to show the ability of getting data from other lists and my example was to retrieve data from team members list that had two columns as the following:1-  Title by default with the list of type single line of text2-  Team member name of type people and groupMy goal was to connect the column to the team member column and guess what! It did not show up in the drop down list so as a result I made a small exercise to see what are the columns that are supported by the lookup column: 

     

    Column Type Supported/Not Supported
    Single line of text Supported
    Multiple line of text Not
    Choice – Drop down list Not
    Choice – Radio buttons Not
    Choice – Checkbox Not
    Number Not
    Yes/No Not
    Person or Group Not
    Hyperlink Not
    Hyperlink – Picture Not
    Calculated Supported
     

    I know there are other solutions to get the values of these columns like the DVWP but is there any reason behind this limitation because I recall some of these columns were supported by SharePoint 2003.

     

    Enjoy
