SPSRollUp details view

Sun, 15 Mar 2009 00:00:00 +0100

This is a sample XSLT to show a details data view, you can connect a XSLT grid template to this view to show list details. Also you can configure the buttons to take another actions. (In this sample we are using the extended list data to get the actions urls)

The details view show as this:

The XSLT is divided in three sections, the toolbar, the buttons and the rows.

SPSRollUp Change Grid Pager

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 00:00:00 +0100

This is a small xslt snippet to change the pager style, that looks as below. This pager has buttons for first and last page, for previous and next pages and you can establish the desired number of page buttons.

The pager template is divided in small templates for each button, also added a variable to calc the last page. You can change the PageSize and the MaxPageLinks xslt variables.

SPSRollUp Chart Task Report

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 00:00:00 +0100

Using the previous sample, you can connect the crawled lists with a SPSRollUpChart to show a resume graph with the status of all tasks.

Our goal is show a chart with the status of all tasks in a specified task list. First create a SPSRollUp to select the lists as this

Add a SPSRollUpChart webpart an fill the properties with the same lists and in the fields property write “Status”, because we want get the status of the tasks.

SPSRollUp Select Distinct Crawled Lists

Mon, 15 Dec 2008 00:00:00 +0100

This is a small sample to show all crawled lists, only the lists names without any other data.

Suppose that you want get all lists crawled under a specific site, send the list to another SPSRollUp webpart to show the lists items.

In this example we will use any site and we wish get all tasks related lists.

In the SPSRollUp properties, type “Tasks” in the lists properties and put “Title” in the fields property (we are not going to use the “Title” field but we need it, SPSRollUp must have almost one field in order to run the rollup)

SPSRollUp Task Diffs

Mon, 15 Dec 2008 00:00:00 +0100

It’s another SPSRollUp Sample that show data from a tasks list in subsites. This view permits expand and collapse data and show the startdate, the duedate and the days from startdate to duedate.

In the SPSRollUp Properties, select the necesary tasks lists, use the fields, Title,StartDate,DueDate and select the ‘Use ISO dates’. In the XSL use the code below

This example use the DateDiff function from the SPSRollUp Namespace.

SPSExplorer 2.5

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 00:00:00 +0100

We have finished a maintenance release of SPSExplorer webparts, now SPSDocumentExplorer can be used with SPSCutCopyPaste.

csegRollUp 3.0

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:00:00 +0100

We have prepared the new SPSRollUp v3 in few days.

Improved performance
Now there is not necessary to apply changes twice.
New Xslt functions. Added FormatIsoDate, LookupValue, LookupId, Replace, RootWebUrl, SourceParam, UrlParam, XmlDecode (more information in SPSNamespace functions)
New View Lists and View Fields options to show crawled lists and fields.

Now there are two options in the configuration properties that will show a popup with the information about collected lists and fields.

SPSRollUp Dropdown Recipe

Sat, 23 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100

In a blank page insert two SPSRollUp webparts.

Edit the properties in the first webpart and select any list, in the fields property write “Title”

In the XSL paste the next snippet; This snippet fills a drop down box with the titles of all crawled data

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
 xmlns:xsl="<http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform>" 
 xmlns:sps="<http://schemas.spsprofessional.com/WebParts/SPSXSLT>" 
 exclude-result-prefixes="sps">
 <xsl:output method="html" />
 <xsl:param name="CurrentRow" />
 <xsl:template match="/">
 <script type="text/javascript">
function combo_onchange(oSelect)
{
 if(oSelect.selectedIndex != -1)
 {
 var selected = oSelect.options[oSelect.selectedIndex].value;
 <xsl:value-of select="sps:EventJS('Select','selected')" />
 }
}
 </script>
 Select a value
 <select id="a1" name="combo" onchange="javascript:combo_onchange(this);" class="ms-input">
 <option value="" />
 <xsl:for-each select="Rows/Row">
 <xsl:sort select="Title" />
 <xsl:element name="option">
 <xsl:attribute name="value">
 <xsl:value-of select="_RowNumber" />
 </xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:if test="_RowNumber=$CurrentRow">
 <xsl:attribute name="selected" />
 </xsl:if>
 <xsl:value-of select="Title" />
 </xsl:element>
 </xsl:for-each>
 </select>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

When a value is selected the JavaScript embedded in the XSL “combo_onchange” send the selected value using the row provider interface.

SPSCopyMove WebPart

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100

This are the preliminary screenshots of SPSListCopyMove WebPart, this webpart permits move and copy list items in a SharePoint List. In the webpart properties you only need specify the list and the view that you want show in the webpart.

You can view a navigation tree, to navigate to any list folder quickly, and the list view that you has selected in the properties.

In the context menu of the items that are showed in the view there are two new options, one to copy the item to another folder in the same list and another to move the item.

SPSRollUp 2.0 Beta

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100

We are developing an application for a customer using SPSRollUp (Beta 2), our customer want a site with some features that seem like BaseCamp site, BaseCamp is a well know Project Management web application.

Using SPSRollUp our customer can aggregate data from sub-projects and show all tasks status in an only view. But he want a special view that he likes specially, this view show pending tasks whit delayed days and coming tasks with the remaining days.

SPSRollUp showing flags

Fri, 13 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0100

You can replace texts with custom images using the XSL. First you need load the desired images in the /_layouts/images of your server, after load you can use this images from XSL. Here is a little sample where the status of the tasks are replaced with flag images.

The XSL is the same used in the Task Status example, where we are add a xsl:choose in order to select the image:

SPSRollUp showing pending tasks

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0100

This is only a sample to show how we can use SPSRollUp to show the pending tasks from a list.

Select a Task list in the SPSRollUp properties, and select fields Title,DueDate and Status, check the include list data to get the url where you can edit the task item.

Below there are some CAML queries that you can use to filter the results and show only the pending tasks or the tasks for the current logged user.

SPSRollUpCalendar

Sun, 08 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0100

(Beta Documentation)

Included in version 2 of SPSRollUp there is a new webpart to roll up data and show it using the SharePoint calendar view.

SPSRollUpCalendar has a similar operation to the SPSRollUp and SPSRollUpChart, and this means that it tracks sites and lists collecting information, the collected data is transformed using XSLT to generate XML as SPSRollUpChart does. The result XML is a description of the events to show in a calendar view.

csegRollup Show Picture Libraries

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0100

With SPSRollUp you can also aggregate content from Picture Libraries, this is a little sample that shows you how to do it.

Select the desired lists that you want to aggregate and add the fields in the fields list, the most important field here is the EncodedAbsThumbnailUrl, this field contains the Url where the thumbnail image is stored. Other fields that we are using in the example are Title, Description and Keywords.

csegRollUp show recent modified files

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0100

A common recurrence task in SharePoint is to locate the last modified files. SPSRollUp can help to you in this task.

You can use SPSRollUp to retrieve items from a document library as it is shown in the image.

You are supposed to select in the lists the document libraries in which you want crawl the results, and, in the fields you must select:

FileRef: That is the file name with full path. LinkFileName: That is the file name, without path. EncodedAbsUrl: That is the full path of the file, without file name. Modified: The date and time when the document was modified. Created: The date and time when the document was created.

csegRollup hide expired items

Sat, 31 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100

You can add a simple CAML query in order to hide the expired elements.

Use:

<Where>
 <Geq>
 <FieldRef Name=”Expires” />
 <Value Type=”DateTime”>
 <Today />
 </Value>
 </Geq>
</Where>

This query show only items which Expiration date is greater or equal than today date.

If you want use also the hour, you can use

<Where> 
 <Geq> 
 <FieldRef Name=”Expires” /> 
 <Value Type=”DateTime” IncludeTimeValue=”TRUE”> 
 <Today /> 
 </Value> 
 </Geq> 
</Where>

csegRollUp DropDownList

Thu, 29 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100

In this sample we load a DropDown list with values from a list and we will use the selected value to filter another SPSRollUp.

Select a List and a Site from which we load data, and fill the SPSRollUp properties.

Use the next XSL to render the DropDown list, (we are using the field Title in the example)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
 xmlns:sps="http://schemas.spsprofessional.com/WebParts/SPSXSLT" 
 exclude-result-prefixes="sps">
 <xsl:output method="html" />

 <xsl:param name="CurrentRow" />
 
 <xsl:template match="/">
 <![CDATA[
 <script type="text/javascript">
 function combo_onchange(oSelect)
 {
 if(oSelect.selectedIndex != -1)
 {
 var selected = oSelect.options[oSelect.selectedIndex].value;
 ]]><xsl:value-of select="sps:EventJS('Select','selected')" /><![CDATA[
 }
 }
 </script>
 ]]>
 Select a value
 <select id="a1" name="combo" onchange="javascript:combo_onchange(this);" class="ms-input">
 <option value="" />
 <xsl:for-each select="Rows/Row">
 <xsl:sort select="Title" />
 <xsl:element name="option">
 <xsl:attribute name="value">
 <xsl:value-of select="_RowNumber"/>
 </xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:if test="_RowNumber=$CurrentRow">
 <xsl:attribute name ="selected" />
 </xsl:if>
 <xsl:value-of select="Title" />
 </xsl:element>
 </xsl:for-each>
 </select>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

This XSL render the DropDown list, generating an option for each row returned in XML. When you select an option the javascript onchange event, send all row values using the provider interface.

Rollup a sorted table

Wed, 28 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100

This is a small trick to show the entries classic list in months and years that can be found in blogs.

To produce a data input such as this one we must count the number of entries occurred in a given month and year.

This is a complex result from the point of view of an XSLT transformation, but here we will see how we can use JavaScript alongside with our transformation to produce the necessary results.

Action Database Connected Chart

Cut, Copy, Paste in Document Libraries

Wed, 23 Jan 2008 00:00:00 +0100

From WSS2 I was looking for a solution to do the Document Libraries a bit more Explorer like, time ago I wrote some WebParts to try solve the problem.

• csegDocLibTools

After the migration to MOSS 2007 the first thing that my users asked for was where is the copy and paste feature?? And where is the explorer like functionality?? Is it a new version of SharePoint?

What happened here… When the users have a characteristic that they are using continually it’s important that they have it in a new version otherwise the IT people are all incompetent. Yes, it’s normal. (I don´t speak here about the new office 2007 Ribbon bar, only to remember
that my users still hate me, as if it were my fault)

BDC Killer WebParts

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 00:00:00 +0100

Data integration from an outside source into SharePoint, was one of the most wished characteristics that the SharePoint 2003 users were waiting for.

When Microsoft announced the Business Data Catalog, in Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007 we all were expecting the possibility of modifying our data, but it never happened, and by the moment the BDC remains as read-only.

On the other hand, the complexity of defining the BDC interface has always been an important barrier, so that a certain number of applications have arose to help us to define these interfaces.

Old asp (no net) web content work

Wed, 28 Mar 2007 00:00:00 +0100

Ayer trabajando en una presentación sobre gestión del conocimiento, para una charla que daré en breve, baje al trastero a por unos apuntes antiguos, y entre la documentación que buscaba, encontré algunos diagramas que había realizado para un proyecto durante un máster en el 2002. Era un sistema de gestión de contenidos realizado en ASP (no .net) muy divertido.

Hoy he recordado que incluso este dominio, www.ideseg.com, lo cogí pensando en albergar dicho proyecto. Como pasa el tiempo.

Sharepoint Dev Tip

Thu, 08 Mar 2007 00:00:00 +0100

Some days ago Eli Robillard wrote a fantastic post about how to build a sharepoint development machine it’s very similar to which I use, but in a last step, I would add a tool to maintain remote sessions. A tool as Secure Shell (ssh) or Remote Shell, I use rsh, because it’s easy for deployment and free, this comes with the Windows Services for Unix 3.5.

Using it I can install and uninstall solutions, features and webparts from my visual studio, external tools menu. Also you can add this to the post generation commands in order to deploy and get data from application pool prior to debug. (rsh machine iisapp)

Tree Explorer WebPart

Wed, 07 Mar 2007 00:00:00 +0100

Este es un pequeño webpart, a su vez un clásico pero muy útil webpart, que nos permitirá recorrer la estructura de carpetas de una biblioteca de documentos. Por supuesto es para WSS3 y MOSS 2007

¿Por cierto alguien se ha fijado en este botón que ha desaparecido en WSS3 ?

WSS2

WSS3

La verdad es que aún siendo un simple history.back() era un botón muy útil.

View Folders in document libraries

Tue, 06 Mar 2007 00:00:00 +0100

Si recordáis en WSS2 teníamos una opción para ver las carpetas de una biblioteca de imágenes, que por alguna misteriosa razón, no se encontraba disponible en las bibliotecas de documentos.

En su día, con un simple truco, podíamos tener esta opción en las bibliotecas de documentos. (http://www.ideseg.com/SharePointViewAllFoldersInDocumentLibraries.aspx) he recordado esto esta mañana cuando me he dado cuenta de que esta opción ya no está disponible ni en las bibliotecas de imágenes ni en las bibliotecas de documentos.

Remote WebParts Install

Thu, 23 Feb 2006 00:00:00 +0100

El otro día chateando con Gustavo sobre su post (Un VisualStudio 2005 señor? No gracias, déme un 2003, por favor) hablamos sobre la instalación de los webparts en las maquinas de pruebas. Yo le comente que lo que hacía era copiar el archivo CAB en la máquina remota y ejecutar el stsadm y el RecycleAppPool usando un enlace de terminal server. (archivo .rdp), esto lo tengo en un batch, y necesito un archivo RDP para cada webpart (ya que el nombre del archivo CAB va dentro del RDP). Luego en el Visual Studio tengo un enlace en las herramientas externas que lanza los comandos.

Connecting WebParts

Sat, 18 Feb 2006 00:00:00 +0100

He estado pensando en las nuevas características que tendrá la versión 3.5 del csegRollUp (como siempre, si alguien tiene sugerencias que las diga) por el momento dejo unas pequeñas pistas aquí. He estado trabajando con unas bibliotecas de documentos que contiene un meta dato llamado estado, la idea era mostrar los últimos archivos modificados por cada usuario dentro de un estado en particular, bien para esto basta con hacer una vista de la biblioteca de documentos y mostrar la vista organizada en categorías (cada estado una categoría). Esto esta muy bien pero en ocasiones el diseño ha de ser más funcional y esto es lo que ha salido usando el csegRollUp. El primer csegRollUp va a mostrar un menú con los distintos estados, seleccionando uno de los estados se mostrarán en un segundo csegRollUp los documentos que tienen dicho estado.

VS Template WebPart

Mon, 13 Feb 2006 00:00:00 +0100

Days ago I wrote about how to use msbee to do webparts with Visual Studio 2005, now the toolkit guys have a beta version, I have spent the weekend doing some tests with this beta release and now I’m doing my webparts using Visual Studio 2005. In the beginning I was using the external tools menu to launch the msbuild process with apropiate targets, and later launching other tool with the sign assembly process, finally I have modified the .csproj file because at the moment for SharePoint 2003 I only need use the Net 1.1 framework. Also I added at the Postbuild event the sign assembly process.

Querying an exchange server 2

Fri, 27 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0100

Part 2

Changing the dav web query, you can get more data (see urn:content-classes:message and Default Exchange Store Namespaces for other namespaces) now to complete the sample the new query is

SELECT "urn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived", 
 "DAV:href", 
 "urn:schemas:httpmail:sendername", 
 "urn:schemas:httpmail:subject" 
FROM scope('shallow traversal of ')
WHERE "DAV:ishidden"=False AND "DAV:isfolder"=False

And to watch the xml results obtained by the query we can modify the checkState function.

function checkState()
{
 if (xmlHttpReq.readyState == 4)
 {
 divOutput.innerText = xmlHttpReq.ResponseXML.xml;
 }
}

Better than parse DOM to get the results I prefer use XSL, now I can copy the XML results in my favorite XSLT editor and map the data. After I can add the xsl to the page and transform the xml usig it. The final result is as shown in the image.

View all folders in Document Libraries

Fri, 27 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0100

Some time ago I write a post with a little trick to add this “missed” option [“View all folders” in Document Libraries]. Now I have needed it in all my documents libraries and the best option is as always modify the list schema file.

Each list definition contains a schema.xml that defines the views, forms, toolbar, and special fields in a list definition. In my production server I have modified the DOCLIB template in “web server extensions\60\TEMPLATE\3082\STS\LISTS\DOCLIB”

Querying an exchange server

Thu, 26 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0100

We can use asynchronous data retrieval, inside of a WebContent webpart, this is a little sample of how to do it.

Part 1

Querying an exchange server and retry results inside of sharepoint webpart, this first sample use the Search web dav method using XMLHTTP request (Exchange Store WebDAV Protocol), query the last five elements from user inbox and gets the date received, the sender name and the subject.

SELECT "urn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived", 
 "urn:schemas:httpmail:sendername", 
 "urn:schemas:httpmail:subject" 
FROM scope(‘shallow traversal of ‘)

WHERE "DAV:ishidden"=False AND "DAV:isfolder"=False

csegRollUp v3.1a

Tue, 24 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0100

csegRollUp 3.1a

Fixes

– Queries with fields that contains spaces – Variables in caml queries – Other minor bugs

Improvements (awaited :-) )

Now there is a new property “From top level” where you can specify the starting point from which the csegrollup would gather the information, this url can be a site or a portal area. The format is an Url format (http://sever/sites/site or http://server/area), Now you can use csegRollUp in an area and rollup content from sites in other areas or others urls, also you can use csegRollUp in a site/subsite and agregate content from a top site.

XMLA BI

Sat, 21 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0100

DIA 1

Estos días he estado probando algunas cosas con SharePoint, empecé instalando la versión inglesa del Business Scorecard Manager 2005 ya que no aguantaba más de esperar a la versión en castellano (las ayudas por lo menos están pero el programa no), después de instalar los requisitos necesarios en mi maquina de pruebas…

Probé a instalar el producto … que fallaba estrepitosamente al crear la base de datos :-( probé después con un SQL Server 2000 y me seguía ocurriendo lo mismo, comprobé todos los permisos en uno y otro sitio y tras una hora conseguí que me creará la base de datos. Lo que hice fue instalarla directamente sobre el servidor SQL, instalando las opciones personalizadas diciéndole que no a todo excepto a la base de datos. Bien, ya tenía la BBDD instalada, ahora me quedaba instalar las webparts en el servidor (el resto de componentes de la instalación), no hubo suerte, tras indicar al programa de instalación dónde se encuentra en servidor SQL y el nombre de la BBDD me da un error tal que:

csegDocLibTools

Tue, 10 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0100

Modify title

Tue, 10 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0100

Lo primero advierto que esta practica no esta del todo recomendada. Pero seguro que en más de una ocasión os habéis encontrado con el problema que supone tener el campo Título pre-configurado por SharePoint, (por lo menos deja cambiarle el nombre) pero no deja de ser una limitación en muchos casos que el tipo predeterminado sea un campo alfanumérico de 255 caracteres.

La definición en CAML del campo Título es la siguiente:

Multiple Templates

Thu, 24 Nov 2005 00:00:00 +0100

I have a site with some document libraries to store documentation based in multiple templates, to save each template in the correct folder, I have created a custom list thats contains the name of the template, the template and the folder where documents created with this tempalte must be stored.

Name – text – Template name

Template – hyperlink – The link to the template file

Folder – text – Folder where the document must be stored (site based path)

csegRollUp v3 out

Mon, 21 Nov 2005 00:00:00 +0100

Finally csegRollUp v3 is here, first I want to give to thanks to all beta testers and and special thanks to Florian Rossmark and Dor Rotman.

Lists – As in previous versions, List of comma delimited values that signify the sites and lists Format: /site/subsite:ListName, /site/subsite/subsite:ListName
Fields – As in previous versions, List of comma delimited values with the field names Format: Title,Text,Comment,User
Include List Data (new) – If enabled the result xml data contains special fields

Sat, 12 Nov 2005 00:00:00 +0100

I am finishing csegRollUp v3, at the moment some examples….

1.- Using csegRollUp cell consumer interface.

Show all documents inside of a document library where Title contains data provider from other webpart.

Lists: Shared Documents Fields: ID, LinkFilename,EncodedAbsUrl,Modified,DocIcon,FileRef,Author,Title

csegMiniWiki 2

Tue, 11 Oct 2005 00:00:00 +0100

Jugando con mi nuevo webpart csegMiniWiki, he caído en la cuenta que en la lista de contenido hay ciertos campos ocultos (los que tienen todas las listas) de modo que he cogido mi webpart csegScriptWebPart para examinar la lista y ….

Como es lógico están todos los campos ocultos, bien ahora cómo csegMiniWiki puede reemplazar el nombre de un campo por su contenido he probado a ver que pasa y ….

csegScript 2

Mon, 05 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0100

This weekend I have finished the first version of csegScript, now are two webparts in the package, the first webpart is the 0.99 version with some improvements in the code, the operation basically is the same one. (See previous post)

The second new webpart uses a list to store the scripts, and has three slots to pass parameters to the webpart. (Thanks to Stramit by your idea)

The list fields are:

Introducing csegDocLibTools

The past week, looking how to show the missing folder view in document libraries, I had a good idea about how to improve my documents libraries, in this moment I had a clear idea over three things:

First I needed Copy and Paste documents in the library, because this is an essential feature to organize the library. There is a good solution to do from Syntergy, they have a cut and pase webpart.

csegDocLib 2

Wed, 10 Aug 2005 00:00:00 +0100

csegDocLibTools properties

Well, there is a preliminary version available, I’m testing it in my production machine and the result at the moment its perfect.

The properties are separated in two groups, the first group, contains the document library on which it works and the webpart if this is attached to one.

The second group contains the webpart options. The four new options in the context menu, (Copy, Paste, Explore from here and Explore from root). There is also an option to show the files inside of the folder when the tree view is showed and an option to enable and disable the top menu.

View all folders in Document Libraries

Wed, 03 Aug 2005 22:54:52 +0000

There are things that I do not understand (too many) of SharePoint, today I have paid attention in the actions menu in image libraries, there is an action called “View all Folders” that not exist in document libraries, trying to solve this problem, I have had the idea to how to do a pretty webpart to Copy and Paste documents in documents libraries (this is in mind).

But, first les us solve the problem of view all folders in document libraries. I have spent an interesting short time while seeing as the pages generated by sharepoint work, and there is an stupid trick to solve the problem. It is enough with adding a link with javascript.

csegRollUp to support pages

Wed, 03 Aug 2005 00:00:00 +0100

Yesterday looking a XML editor to edit complex xml files that I have in a Project that E&Y did in my company, I downloaded a trial version from Stylus Studio XML IDE and I’m really surprised. We could make a hard work in minutes. (Edit the data in a grid, sort the grid by levels and sublevels etc…)

Normally I dont need tools like this for my diary work but I am considering this for my personal use (home edition is only 49$.)

Load documents in SharePoint pages

Wed, 03 Aug 2005 00:00:00 +0100

SharePoint - Loading html documents inside of sharepoint pages One of the problems that I have been is when I have html documents in a document library and show this in a webpart page with the webcontent webpart. (I’m using the csegContent webpart that gets a querystring)

Sharepoint index them and after when you search, the query results show a link to them but when you load the document the context is missing, you have a window with the complete page without menu, quicklaunch etc…

Playing with csegScriptWebPart

Wed, 03 Aug 2005 00:00:00 +0100

SharePoint - Playing with csegScript Some users of csegRollUp2 ask to me how to get the complete list of fields for a list, remember that you can use the internal names with csegRollUp. Now you can use csegScript to show all fields and types of any list.

Change the red code with the name of your list, and put the webpart in the site where the list is stored.

csegAlertMan

Tue, 26 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0100

I am working in three webparts for handling alerts in Sharepoint, as advance here is first of them.

csegUserListsAlerts

This webpart shows

A drop-down list with all the lists of the Web site in where it is located.
The name of the current user
One lists with all the users of the Web site
The alerts for the selected list

You can do:

Eliminate the selected alert
Eliminate all alerts for the current list
Add alert to selected users (specify type and frecuency)
Add alerts to all users

Tue, 26 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0100

First, thanks to all by the comments about RollUp webpart.

Now, do you need a Calendar view with your RollUp events, tasks or any list???

Are you ready?.

You can use the Sharepoint calendar whith csegRollUp it’s easy and you can view the Month view, weekly view or day view whit your aggregated data.

Just, a sample of XSL to render.

Some people ask me about samples of transformations, XSL to use with the csegRollUp webpart. First of all, I adopted XSL because it is the best way to customize any webpart.

I’m using mainly XMLSpy in work, but those days in my laptop I’m using too a freeware application to edit XSL called “cooktop” written by Victor Pavlov, it is a xsl, xpath and dtd editor, you can use the XML debug output from csegRollUp and test your XSL.

csegRollUp webpart

Tue, 26 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0100

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.

csegRollUp webpart v2

Tue, 26 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0100

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.

Thanks to Henrik, Raphael, André, Klaus and Mario for your comments.

Fixed/Improvements

Add support to display custom attributes in results view.
Fix the query string parameters
Fix empty Hilight color
Hilight keywords in document title and author
Parser optimization and autofix

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..

Loading pages in an iframe

Tue, 26 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0100

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.

Sharepoint – csegWebContent webpart

csegPSSearch webpart

Mon, 09 May 2005 00:00:00 +0100

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.
