Path to SharePoint UK SharePoint Team : SharePoint and Records Management: Part 1 of 4 This blog series will address the role that SharePoint can play in Records Management within an organization and the abilities and functionality that can be leveraged from the platform. The blog consists of four posts: 1. Introduction to Records Management, and Definition of Terms (this post) 2. 3. 4. The blog presents my views as a SharePoint expert into the vast and complex world of Records Management. Part 1: Introduction to Records Management, and Definition of Terms SharePoint is an excellent platform that covers a multitude of scenarios and functions within a business. Given this ability to manage, store, collaborate on and dispose of documents, SharePoint naturally extends into the world of Records Management. With so many companies using SharePoint for the creation, maintenance, collaboration and dissemination of content such as documents in their day-to-day working, it is useful to define how SharePoint can offer integrated functionality that extends to Records Management.

Using Log Parser with SharePoint - Todd Klindt's SharePoint Admin Blog A recent blog post of Joel Oleson's got me thinking about who visits my blog. I run my blog on my own server and I have access to all of the logs. SharePoint sits on top of IIS and I can get all the information I need from the IIS logs. In this blog post I'll cover how I tackled going through my IIS logs and getting some useful information out of them, all with free products. I knew I wanted to get some information about the visitors to my blog, but I needed to decide exactly what information I wanted. The downside of Log Parser is that it can be tough to get up to speed on. Like I mentioned before, I was mainly interested in the stats mentioned in Joel's blog post. Number of unique users Number of subscribers Top IP hits What referrers were sending people to my site Which pages were most popular How much data out Which HTTP status codes are being generated To make things easy for this blog post I'll be getting all of these states for a one month period. Then I saved the query. tk
Code, Articles, Discussion on Microsoft Technologies : Switch the sharepoint webpart page Display Mode into Edit Mode and Vice Versa Recently one of my clients had a requirement to go into Edit mode of a sharepoint page using a manual link displayed in quick launch. He was lazy of going to Site Actions -> Edit Page and then again going somewhere else for Exit Edit Mode :) To give some background for beginners, whenever we click Edit Page on Site Actions menu,the pages switches into a different display mode called Design Mode. Its not a feature ofSharepoint, but ASP.NET 2.0 Webparts Framework. Background For example, to programmatically switch the current page into design mode, you can simply add a link control with an event handler that sets the DisplayMode property to DesignDisplayMode. WebPartManager1.DisplayMode = WebPartManager.DesignDisplayMode; Although this would work technically, but it would not give up the visible changes to page, like visibilty of Page Editing toolbar, webpart zones etc. This would be present in default.master. Building the Webcontrol
SharePoint Spot Point2Share : SharePoint and Querystrings Recently did a little bit of playing with querystrings (at the end of the URL, that is after the .aspx, put a '?' then the value below, to use more than one use an '&'), thought it might be something other people are interested in. Strange that I haven't really stumbled across these documented anywhere else, it might just be that I haven't been reading the right documents! (I'm sure that if this is the case it will be politely pointed out to me!) Let me know if you have any others and I will add them to the list. Finally (there is always a finally isn't there?)
SharePoint Notes Update a Web application URL and IIS bindings (Windows SharePoint Services) Updated: 2009-04-23 In this article: After you have extended a Web application into a zone with a set of IIS bindings and alternate access mapping URLs, you might decide that you want to use a different URL to reach the Web application. Unlike typical IIS Web applications, you cannot simply use IIS Manager or other IIS metabase tools to modify the bindings of IIS Web applications that have been extended with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. If you modify the IIS bindings of a Web application by adding a host header binding or an SSL port, or by changing a port number, Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 is not aware of these changes and does not update the Web application's alternate access mapping URLs. To update the URL or IIS bindings of a Web application, you must unextend and re-extend the Web application, and reconfigure alternate access mapping URLs or IIS Web site bindings. We do not recommend reusing the same IIS Web site for your HTTP and SSL hosting. Unextend a Web application
