A new player in the field of online collaboration
Itay Shakury Yesterday, Apple has announced a new web based service called iWork.com aimed for online collaboration. If you wann'a skip directly to the bottom line, I personally don't think it will be a great success, and wouldn't be using it myself. iWork is a software suite for mac that has been around for a few years. It includes a word processing software called Pages, a spreadsheet software called Numbers, and a presentation software called Keynote. Today Apple has announced iWork 09 and wit [read].

Tow tips about MOSS search managed properties
Itay Shakury Here are tow facts I have discovered about property search in MOSS. Just to be clear, when I say property search, I mean searching by any one of the managed properties defined, using keyword query, or advanced search.

Collapsible Web Parts
Itay Shakury Here is something cool I have recently made. It's an add on to SharePoint, that allows a user to temporarily collapse (or minimize) Web Parts, and restore them, by clicking on their titles. Just click on the Web Part's title to collapse, and click again to restore. Your users doesn't need any special permissions to use this (works with anonymous as well). No SharePoint personalization involved. Collapsing occurs instantly (no postback). Everything is temporary, when the user retur [read]. Posted: Tue, Aug 12th '08 |
Getting current events from a Calendar list
Itay Shakury You have a calendar list. You want to query it for events that happen right now. Not today, not this week, right this moment. Yes, including reoccurring events. I really thought it would be easier, or at least hoped to find a working example somewhere... Anyway, here is the CAML that I ended up with:
The first part gets all the events for today, including reoccurring events, and the second one checks for the time. Put the [read]. Posted: Fri, Jul 25th '08 |
SharePoint Designer Data Form Web Part apostrophe bug
Itay Shakury Problem: You try to use a Data Form Web Part (Data View Web Part) to display a document library in an XSLT view. You find out that documents that include an apostrophe character (') in their file name, cannot be opened or viewed. (There might be other problematic characters beside apostrophe, I haven't checked that) Steps to reproduce: Create a document library. Add some files with apostrophe in their name to the library.

Using rad Editor for MOSS Lite in Publishing Pages (WCM)
Itay Shakury Update: After writing this, I found out that there are detailed instructions for this in the official documentation that you can download from telerik's site. HOWEVER, I haven't found anything online when I searched for the first time, so I decided to publish it even so. I have written before about rad Editor for MOSS, and how great it is.

Profile Pictures Library
Itay Shakury I have created a deployment project for Steven Van de Craen's solution for managing user profile pictures from a single picture library.
About the original project: The project itself is a simple event handler that synchronizes a picture library with user profiles pictures. When a picture is added to the library, it is automatically paired with the relevant user profile. Pairing is based on the file name of the picture, which has to match the user's login name in AD.

SharePoint Designer Data Form Web Part context menu bug
Itay Shakury This bug was confirmed by Microsoft after we opened a "Severity A" issue on it. The original response from the support guy was : "oh my god!" :) because this kind of bugs are really easy to track down in a superficial QA testing. Eventually the support guys couldn't help us and registered that as a SharePoint Designer bug. But worry not - Itaysk to the rescue..

.NET Framework 3.5 and Infopath compatibility issue.
Itay Shakury Bottom line: Be very careful installing Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 on a machine that works with custom InfoPath solutions.
One of my clients has a customized InfoPath 2007 (Not browser enabled) form, that recently went into production. As it was exposed to a lot more users, each running a different environment configuration, we began to receive complains from people who can't use the form.

Silverlight on iPhone
Itay Shakury Just came back from Tech Ed Eilat, where I attended a session about Silverlight 2.0 by Laurence Moroney, Sr. Tech Evangelist at Microsoft. Overall it was a nice lecture, at the end there was some Q&A time so I hit Laurence with the big question: What about Silverlight support for iPhone??? What Laurence told me, is that there are some technological issues, mainly because iPhone currently runs on AMR processor. This will also require tight cooperation with Apple's development team.
