Recurring Meeting Workspace date picker JavaScript error

If you have a custom master page on your meeting workspaces (replaced MWSDefault.master), then you may encounter a JavaScript error for selecting a data from the left navigation if you setup a recurring meeting for that workspace.

To fix this issue open the custom master page (in SharePoint Designer if need be) and insert the following line below all of the other Register Tags and before the HTML tag starts

<%@ Register Tagprefix="Meetings" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.Meetings" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>

next insert the following line directly below the <Body> tag.

<Meetings:PropertyBag runat="server"/>

After this publish your master page and all meeting workspaces should now work.

GEMSolution Blog has Switched to Google Blogger

GEMSolution Blog “Share”….that’s the “Point” has now moved to Google’s Blogger tool.

I will shortly be uploading all historic blogs from the old blog site and putting a redirect in place on the old blog site so people are redirected here automatically.

Contains operator missing in Advance Search Web Part

This is an old topic, and i know it has been covered by some other people, but it is one i keep having to rectify in various client environments, so thought i would give myself an easy reference point for it rather than keep trawling the web each time.

So you have added the advance search Web Part to a page and the only two options which exist in the operator drop down (see below) are “Equals” and “Does not equal”.  So where has the “contains” and “does not contain” operator gone.

Happy New Year

Just thought I'd send a quick post to wish everyone who reads my Blog a very Happy New Year.  I am looking forward to an exciting 2010 with plenty of new technologies to dive into with SharePoint 2010 and Visual Studio 2010 at the top of my list.

Over the Christmas period i managed to get a SharePoint 2010 beta server up and running so i will be putting up some posts on my findings whilst playing around.

I Will also be looking into Visual Studio 2010 and how well it integrates and caters for SharePoint development.

Watch this space………..

Setting ModerationInformation.Status back to pending removes author/creator permissions

Here’s the scenario – I have a visual studio sequential workflow on a list (not document library) which has a 2 stage approval process.  The request was to use the standard OOB approve/reject mechanism rather than tasks, so for the first stage of approval, the approver would select Approve/Reject from a list item.  Once the first stage approver approves the item, the item should NOT be approved and live, but still pending and an email sent to the 2nd level approver to make the ultimate decision of making the item live.  Once the 2nd stage approver approves the item the item then becomes Approved and Published for all to see.
I created a Visual Studio Sequential Workflow and created separate routes through workflow based on who updated the List Item.

Finally got round to taking the 70-541 MCTS WSS 3.0 Developer Exam

I finally got round to taking the 70-541 MCTS Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 – Application Developer exam today and passed with a score of 895.

The exam content was pretty much what everyone out there is blogging about with some added questions which apparently do not contribute to your score in order for Microsoft to test out some new questions.  Completed it in just over an hour.

Having worked with SharePoint since its Beta days back in October 2006, i didn't think it really tested or was a reflection on my real world experience of development within the WSS space. 

I used the Inside Microsoft SharePoint Services 3.0 book (Ted Pattison), which i did find useful and then a number of Visual Cert Exams from various places out on the web.  All pretty useful for passing the exam.
