I am having similar problems. I am logging into the server as the domain administrator, which is also the Primary Site Collection Administrator. When I go to Site Settings > Site Administration > Site features I do not see the option for Office SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure.

Any ideas why?

Mark,

FYI, Your opening link to the Previuos Blog document does not seem to go to the document that you refer to:

www.sharepointblogs.com/.../using-today-in-a-calculated-formula-birthday-lists.aspx

is where it should go.

www.sharepointblogs.com/.../1500.aspx

Is where it does go.

Thanks

Otherwise a very useful article.

I have Image library. I want to have one image library with several

folders. Each folder has some images in it.

Is there any way in sharepoint designer-dataview to display only

images from specific folder.

I looked folder scope options but I found "files only" and "recursive"

options only.

Hello Peter,

Your problem can be solved in the same way i did with the brithday example. Becauses a birthday is a "target" and with the filters you become the selections.

Can jou give me an example of your problem and i will try to make it hapen?

For Nucle en Josh. It isn't possible to make a "today" column in Sharepoint portal, like it is possible in Excel.

The example from Josh is static TODAY date en will not be updated in de future. The TODAY function can only be used in the FIlter form a list.

OK .. I need to retract my first comment. Turns out it just takes a snapshot in time of the value of [today] and uses that.

Here's a comment explaining it from another post:

It works, but next day (or month) you see that nothing has changed in your lists. It seems that Sharepoint remembers current value of [Today] at the moment you create (and delete) columns, and your filters stay the same. If you repeat the procedure next day, it will be OK again.

Josh Moore — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 22:21:20 GMT

The constant question seems to be "how do I make [today] dynamic?" that is, instead of having to make a new "today" column with today's date every day.

BUT Mark's whole article above is based on his first article that told us how to do that!

Read this article:

www.sharepointblogs.com/.../using-today-in-a-calculated-formula-birthday-lists.aspx

Basically you make a column called "today" - but you don't any information in that column. The reference that column in the formula. Finally delete the column you made called "today", and instead of looking for that column Sharepoint automatically starts using the [today] as today's date.

So you trick the system into using it's own dynamic [Today] reference.

I followed the instructions on that birthday's page and it works great. Only took about 3 mins to set up.

This post has alot of information, but I still have not been able to determine a means of automatically adding and removing a "today" column so that I have a constant daily total. Anyone know how to do this or have you found a better way to calculate the difference between a date and today?

Stan, thx for the info, but what do you suggest how we can use this for tracking daily tasks, e.g. to be able to sow the days left till the defined target date?

Thanks a lot,

Peter

re: Alert: Major Internet Security Flaw

After reading the article, I'm not sure I see the super big flaw. Looks like you can spoof SSL by either providing your own certificate or by lying to a certificate authority. That's understood, but SSL really only protects messages on the wire anyway - who really looks at that these days when you can just hack the database and get everything.

As for the DNS issue, it's a service provider thing. At the time this article was published, most of the service providers already had fixes in place. The article takes you to a site which lets you test your service provider out. Mine (Comcast) checked out fine according to that tool.

This dynamic use of Today function with only one chage in a year for te yearcounter!

Workaround Make the follow colums:

(Make yearly one number increase from de year 1900)

- birthdaydate: date of birth

- Yearcounter1900: Calculated, formula: =108

- YM : calculated, formula: =DATE(1900+Yearcounter1900;MONTH(birthdaydate);DAY(birthdaydate))

- YM30: calculated, formula: =DATE(1900+Yearcounter1900;MONTH(birthdaydate);DAY(birthdaydate)+30)

- Age: calculated, formula: =1900+Yearcounter1900-YEAR(Geboortedatum)

Make now a filter

name: this month birthdays

filter1: YM30, is greater than equal to, [Today]

filter2: YM, is less than or equal to, [Today]

This dynamic use of Today function
