csegRollUp webpart

- 2 mins read

This is my new webpart, that I have worked in order to solve a common problem. The Rollup for Sharepoint lists.

With this webpart you can rollup any list in any site, you can get data from different lists (Tasks, Announcements, your customs lists)

The Webpart check the security so that if a user does not have access to a site or a list these data will not appear.

Webpart gathers data from the specified lists and join it in a common xml that later will render it using xsl.

First, once again many thanks to all you for your kind commentaries about csegRollUp.

Sorry for being so late but I have had a lot of work last days, and nights are so short…

Fixes

For users with problems in sites with ports diferents to 80, I must say that all tests of this new version have been done with a server installed in the port 1000 and all them have run correctly.

csegSearch – Adds google type searches to your Sharepoint site – boolean searches

This webpart allows to make searches GOOGLE  type in sharepoint.

In the first place I would like to thank  Mattiew Cosier since to a large extent I have been inspired by his work. And Gustavo to test the webpart in your systems.

This webpart is a subclass of the webpart included in sharepoint called SearchResults. Baically, csegSearch   transforms the keywords and  gives them the correct syntax to be used with the predicate CONTAINS of the Sharepoint searches..

Uno de los problemas con los que me he encontrado cuando se cargan documentos html en una biblioteca de documentos es que cuando Sharepoint indexa el contenido de dichos documentos, al cárgalos  se pierde toda la estética del portal, esto también ocurre cuando abrimos los documentos desde una biblioteca de documentos.

Por lo general estos documentos los cargamos dentro de un webpart de contenido para que el usuario pueda navegar por estas páginas de manera que lo ideal sería que el documento se visualizará en el site del cual proviene.

This weekend I have been working in some improvements of the page viewer webpart and this is the result

New features

  • Control height of webpart
  • ICellConsummer Interface (to get an URL from another webpart)
  • AutoLoad if main page pass an URL in Load param

Control height.

This webpart use all client height area by default less  115 pixels used by site header. You can adjust this in the cssWebContent properties.

Talking SOAP Sharepoint

Outlook integration with Sharepoint, is not bad, but it could be better. Sharepoint Event and Contact lists has a decent integration in Sharepoint, but when I create a new customized list, I don´t have any link to Outlook.

Thinking about this, I need to be able to pass data of my customized forms in outlook to sharepoint and viceversa.

Working arround the problem, I have created a Outlook form with such fields that one of my sharepoint list, now the problem is how to send this form data from Outlook to Sharepoint. After creating the form the only thing that it knew clearly it was that it had to use the Web services of sharepoint to send the data.

Sharepoint – csegPSSearch webpart

csegPSSearch is a webpart to include custom web sharepoint queries in your portal in a easy way. First, you need to be familiarized with the PSSearch syntax (Sharepoint query syntax)

properties

  • PSSearch Query: Your custom query.
  • XSL: The xsl to render the results.
  • MaxRows: Maximun number of rows to return by the query.
  • DebugXML: If checked show the xml results.
  • DebugQuery: Show the query.

The query has an special value %TEXT% that it can be replaced if the webpart is connected to another webpart with a cell provider interface. Included with this webpart there is a simple webpart with a input box provider interface called csegInputBoxProvider. You can connect both webparts to make your custom queries.

Sharepoint – PocketPc sharepoint list Explorer

I am doing a Pocket PC application to show in the today screen the list content of some lists of my sharepoint server and update it each x minuts.

Before beginning the development I have made a small example that is interesting similarity to me to place here with the source code since it can be interesant for other developers.

This simple application, needs the user credentials and the direction of the web service to use, shows all lists available and later it shows the content of the list selected in a datagrid.

Enredadndo con la Sun Ultra 1

Estas son algunas notas que he ido tomando mientras jugueteaba con una Sun Ultra 1 que adquirí recientemente en ebay por un módico precio (60€). La Ultra 1 será durante estos día mi juguetito (como yo lo llamo).

La Maquina.

Bueno, por comprar barato, la maquina solo tiene 64Mb (veremos lo que da de si) y no tiene disco duro ni CDROM, con lo que tendré que volver a ebay para agenciarme un disco SCSI 3 con conector SCA.
