I recently came across a familiar situation where I needed to synchronize user profiles inside SharePoint 2010 so they will include the profile picture which is defined elsewhere. Usually users have their pictures included inside the Active Directory either as an extended schema or as a field which holds the URL where the image can be found. These cases are covered and can be easily solved in various ways. One of them is described here (Hebrew) using FIM or here (English) using simple mappings. My...

After setting up a new web application for a new portal I faced a crawling problem of the new site collection. Description: Right after starting the crawler it stops, giving 2-3 error messages, all with the same syntax: Error in the Site Data Web Service. (Value does not fall within the expected range.) The crawl log was the only place the error was logged, with no additional information regarding the cause of the problem. Searching the web came up with very little solutions, while...
A few days ago we started migrating a portal site from one web application to another on the same machine. As part of the migration process I needed to copy lists from the old site to the new site. Some lists, contained Person list columns, with single or multiple selection. While the migration went smoothly during the export/import process itself the result was weird – all the user names were altered on the new portal. Reason: 1. Person list columns store the user name (as text) and...

As already known, settings forms of MOSS 2007 can usually be found at: C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS Each form (*.aspx file) can be accessed from any site on the portal inside /_layouts folder. for example: http://doron-g/_layouts/settings.aspx and http://doron-g/SiteDirectory/wiki/_layouts/settings.aspx Each showing the same form, exposing enabled featured for each site. In the following posts I will demonstrate how to add new forms to the...
This post is about enabling web slices on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. The following example will demonstrate how to easily implement a simple control adapter which will render the required html code for turning any web part on your server into a live web slice. First thing I did was creating a class called WebSliceAdapter which inherits from ControlAdpater . 1: public class WebSliceAdapter : ControlAdapter ControlAdapter has a single method needs to be overridden: 1: protected override...
While I was examining Olivier Carpentier's WSS List DataSource on http://www.codeplex.com I decided to try and create a similar tool for MCMS. The basic idea was to create a custom placeholder which allows content editors to select WSS lists from a remote MOSS server. But first, a few words on MCMAS custom placeholders: A Placeholder is a control which has 2 major instances – one for users where it displays the content and one for the content editor so they can alter the content. Creating a custom...
While developing a feature developers often need to generate GUIDs, get assembly full names, alter XML's etc. One of the most helpful tools is available from Andrew Connell . After I managed to make it work (uninstalling any reminder of visual studio 2008 from my machine) it worked great and did make my life easier. The only problem with the solution are the pre requirements - Refactor Pro! & CodeRush . Both are great extensions for Visual Studio, only they cost 250$ and we are not planning...
I'm currently working on a custom feature project template set of visual studio projects for MOSS developers. I currently have two main project types ready - custom feature and custom master page feature. The first is designed for general features and the second is for master page features. While playing with the new project I managed to alter a master page and make is look a little bit like MCMS after a few minutes of copy & paste: The project looks like this: These projects require as little...
