  • Best Practices for Naming Sites and Pages.

    A comment I frequently hear is: SharePoint tabs don't always highlight properly. As it turns out, if you are in the habit of doing things a certain way, they always work. First, make sure you are turning on "Show Pages" and/or "Show subsites". You can find this in Site Settings...

  • Moving up to find that list

    I'm going to write a bit about a problem I ran into when I wrote a bulk upload application for one of my SharePoint clients. I found that when I was importing a document and applying a Content Type to it I needed to find the Lookup list values for one of the import fields. In looking for a list of...

  • MOSS 2007 and WSS 3.0 Alternate Access Mapping

    I did a three day consulting gig 3 months ago where I installed and configured WSS 3.0, trained them on the basics of document libraries and lists, and converted a spreadsheet with multiple pages into a List so that their users could edit items simultaneously.

  • SharePoint 2007 Employee Directory Web Part

    Many of our clients have asked us about some type of function or Web Part that lets them show a list of users in their site collection, specifically from the "Users and Groups" list that they can control. Out of the box MOSS gives you the Site Users Web Part. This is often discarded by the...
