Rachel, your custom web services shouldnt have been "wiped out." They should still be there but a reconfig might be needed to reconfigure security, etc.

Hi Mark,

I finally upgraded my WSS 2.0 to 3.0 and using the Database Migration scenario. Everything works fine so far. But my developer said that some Web Services he created got wiped out after the upgrade. Is that possible to happen when upgrade SharePoint?

Komal, sorry but your best best is to search Live Cache or Google Cache. I can only update the ones people tell me are dead or if the author comes up with a new link and posts it.

Thanks,

Mark

Hello everyone,

My DVWP is having some filtering problems.

It is not letting me filter on the column headers .It says "This column type can not be filtered" but when i enable the toolbar for sorting and filtering [by checking the check box from DVWP properties window ] it works fine. I get those dropdowns for each column from where i can select the value to filter.

The layout is basic table.

Data source is a web service which is returning an XML.

Please advice if i am missing any setting.

re: HowTo: Using SharePoint Calculated Columns to Display a List Item as "X" Days Old

Rai Concha — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 16:18:29 GMT

Hi,

how the list can be refreshed automaticaly, everyday?

We want to create a list view, that only shows the birthday of the day, so, in the filter of View configuration, we put:

Show elements when

Column: Check day

it's equals to

YES

and

Column: Check Month

It's equals to

YES

PS: We change some configurations, because we'r using MOSS

Regards

Has anyone run into a bug (or have fix for it) where SPD keeps inserting hundreds of blank lines into the ASPX page?! This is driving me nuts - it's making my files over 60K lines long and I end up having to copy and paste to Word, replace all the tab-tab-tab-tab-line breaks with a single return to fix it.

I have been able to figure out that It is related to custom data views and enabling the Sort/Filter/Group options. If I don't use those options, I don't have this problem.

Any help would be appreciated - thanks!

Have you worked much with Microsof Online Services or Azure? There isn't much useful information on the internet yet on those topics.

Mark Kruger — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 06:58:02 GMT

Christophe, thanks... just hearing too much bickering about the post. It was written for 2003 and works in MOSS but that doesnt mean it's the only way to do it in MOSS. We have a lot more options available to us as mentioned in some of the comments.

Thanks for the support!

Mark,

Just curious: I'd still like to understand why you insist so much that your post is not about MOSS. As for me, I don't see ANY difference, the trick works exactly the same in all SharePoint versions...

Hi Mark - Firstly a sincere apology for offending you. The post was not intended how it reads and I have edited to change the tone.

My intention was to make it clear that this no longer works as see on forums and blogs this keeps popping up again and again and even in new posts aimed at WSSv3 - one of the problems is that it appears to work when you first run it and its only later you find out about the update problem.

Again - apologies for offending you.

Mobileman, dont get me started on this lame blog's formatting. Yes there are spaces so I could get the tag to render.

Mark Kruger — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 15:53:22 GMT

Ryan, just read YOUR Blog post...

Set the record straight how? By claiming you are the know all??? That's pretty blatant to call something wrong, claim it wont work, and then call someone out for bad advice. Real classy on your part. In fact, my post was the first to do the trick and it was writted for 2003. Get your facts straight before you post off the top of your head. I feel sorry for folks that read your posts and think they are getting the full story. Was MOSS ever mentioned in that article? No!

I've been in the SharePoint community longer than most and I have to say I am completely insulted by your post and your opinions.

A lot of people have used the Today trick in 2003 and IT DOES WORK. It DOES NOT do automatic updating. You can do that in MOSS if you like using different methods.

I'd prefer if you stay away from my blog and further mentioning of my name in ANY association with yours.

Ryan — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 13:42:45 GMT

Afraid I have to tell you that this work around DOES NOT WORK in WSSv3/MOSS. It will not update, see blog.pentalogic.net/.../truth-about-using-today-in-calculated-columns for details.

I'm struggleing with CREATED BY and Me.

I imported a table from ACCESS and became the CREATED BY for all the records.

In a View I'd use CREATED BY /[Me] to filter records for the current user. I can't do that now and I thought that this would be the answer

I think I followed all the steps, but I can't make a calculated field to match my field to the "new" ME.
