CAML Query that filters on the current user
Dave Hunter
Body: CAML Queries are troublesome at the best of times. I find it best to use a tool or a tried and tested method like the one I use here Tip - Creating CAML Queries - Thinking out aloud - Dave Hunter's. When you create a view and you want to show only items that have been created by the current user you use the [Me] keyword. For example: filter by "Author" equals [Me]. How can I do this using a CAML query? The [Me] keyword is represented in CAML by the following . In the CAML query for [read].

Delving into Deploying SharePoint Artifacts with Features
Dave Hunter
Body: I've seen many posts on forums with features deploying site collection features scoped at the web level.

SharePoint - Connecting MySites with the Portal
Dave Hunter
Body: With your typical intranet with MySites scenario you have two front-end web applications, one hosting your intranet and the other hosting your MySites. These are two separate components. MySites are a shared service, they are designed to be consumed by one or many web applications. Out of the box they aren't linked to a web application hosting your intranet.
When a user creates a MySite they may ask you "how do I get back to the intranet?". You can do this by setting the Portal Con [read].

Creating a Tree View Control WebPart
Dave Hunter
Body: I had a requirement to create a tree view control to rollup document libraries into a single view. I chose to use the System.Web.UI.WebControls.TreeView web control. Once you define the tree view control you add nodes, for example: TreeNode childNode = new TreeNode(file.Name, "", "~/_layouts/images/" + file.IconUrl, file.ServerRelativeUrl.ToString(), "");
treeView.ChildNodes.Add(childNode);
I wanted to get all document libraries for a current web, I used the SPWeb.GetListsOfType me [read].

Display a page without any navigation
Dave Hunter
Body: It's a common requirement to want a page which is print friendly or a page which doesn't display any navigation. I had a similar requirement for a tree view control to be displayed with scrollbars, at first you may not think these are related, but the way I designed it to cater for the scrollbars made it similar. I split this requirement into two parts: 1. The tree view control and 2. Using the Page Viewer webpart and displaying a page without navigation, header and footer (just the co [read].

Navigation only showing 50 sites
Dave Hunter
Body: You may of come across this behaviour with navigation or the Table of Contents WebPart. These webparts use a Portal Site Map Provider for their datasource. By default these have limits for the dynamic and static navigation behaviour. You can override these by specifying StaticChildLimit="" DynamicChildLimit="" 0 represents no limit, whereas 100 states there can be 100 children. For example: The web.config is usually found in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\sitename\. [read].

Adding a file to a document library with meta data
Dave Hunter
Body: There are many ways to upload a file using the API but finding which is the correct method takes time and effort. You first start looking for a collection to add your SPFile to. For example: You can use the SPWeb.Files or Folder.Files. The SDK use the latter if (oWebsite.GetFolder("Shared Documents").Exists)
{
SPFolder oFolder = oWebsite.GetFolder("Shared Documents");
oFolder.Files.Add(strFilename, binFile, true);

SharePoint 2007 Escaped Column Names
Dave Hunter
Body:
Most developers who have experience of SharePoint will know that when naming columns using the user interface will result in the actual column name will be an escaped version of what the user entered as the column name. The most common replacement is a space is replaced with "_x0020_". For example: A user enters "Published Date". The display name will remain as "Published Date" but the underlying name of the column will be "Published_x0020_Date".

Delving into SharePoint 2007 Personalisation
Dave Hunter
Body:
In SharePoint there are two types of modifications to sites; customisation and personalisation. Customisation relates to changes for all users, this view of SharePoint is the "shared view". The Shared View is a standard view of the page available to everyone. Personalisation relates to a change made by an individual user on a per user basis, this view is the "personal view".

Backup Script for K2 BlackPearl Databases
Dave Hunter
Body:
It's important to backup K2's databases before you deploy any new workflows. At the moment there isn't a tool to remove K2 BlackPearl Workflow Process definitions deployed to a server.
If you have a backup of the databases then you can restore to that point in time. K2 BlackPearl has 14 databases so it's easier to run a script to perform the backup rather than using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.

Displaying ASP.NET Error Pages
Dave Hunter
Body:
When debugging errors with SharePoint 2007, you can have a hard time finding out what the actual error message is. SharePoint displays the “An unexpected error has occurred”, but this isn't helpful.
You can wade through the SharePoint log files and find the actual error message. This is time consuming and maybe tricky due to the amount of information written to the log.
You can modify the web.config so that you get the standard ASP.NET helpful error message. You will need [read].

One of the new features of SharePoint 2007 is content deployment. In MCMS 2002 you needed to export a SDO (Solution Deployment Object) that contained the Postings, Templates and Resources you wished to deploy to another environment.

Content Deployment keeps the same GUIDs for the objects so you cannot deploy to the same web application (due to the uniqueness of the objects in the same database) unless the site has its own content database. For more information please [read].
