From the place of Gold trip

Ok so i just came back from Johannesburg, where i had been for a week attending training in Advanced Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2007 from iSolve business solutions in sunninghill. During my stay, i had a opportunity of meeting Robert MacLean and oh my Goodness he gave them to me, the webcasts from the PDC2008!!! they are movies for Christmas indeed!!! ROBERT FOR PRESIDENT!!!

Then i linked up with Tebatso from AccTech Consultants, am like these guys just wanna finish up my portable hard drive right!!! but i made Tebatso happy by giving him the PDC2008 webcasts too, guys am enjoying the webcasts, making me feel like i was actually in attendance. Then the pass4sure SharePoint questions i picked up from Tebatso are making me think "What am i still waiting for...why not take the MCTS - MOSS exams end of December..." Now thats the way to start a new year Yeahh!!!

So, while at iSolve, what did we do? MOSS Site definations, site templates, masterpages, CSS, XML, Pagelayouts, creating datasources, site permissions....guys i could go on....but what was funny was that out of a class of 6, i had the longest experience in MOSS 2007, wasn't i chaft!!! (not mentioning that my company is the only one using MOSS in Zambia)

For now, am going back to watch the PDC2008 webcasts while i prepare for my MOSS 2007 exams!!!

PS. On my way back home, i had to connect on 3 flights. Missed 1 while two other flights got delayed, the rest is a long story...but it all wasn't my fault, but the airlines.

Imagine you have a SharePoint custom search webpart, and on your search results, you return word documents, you will obviously want to at times be able to open them in your MS Word client program for editing. So basically, depending on your office client installed on your local machine, there are 2 different approaches that can be made for Office 2003 and Office 2007/10, using the same function " editDocumentWithProgID2 ". For Office 2003: - If your document libraries versioning settings have got "Require Check out" ticked, then you will first want to check out the document using: onclick ="CheckoutviaXmlhttp(‘{SiteURL}’, ‘{DocumentDownloadURL}’)" - Then to open the document, you use: onclick =" return editDocumentWithProgID2(‘ {DocumentDownloadURL} ’, ”, ‘SharePoint.OpenDocuments’, ’1′,’ {SiteURL} ’, ’0′);" href ="#" - and now combining the above 2 actions into one clickable action: onclick ="CheckoutviaXmlhttp(‘ {SiteURL} ’, ‘ {...

How to Scope your SharePoint Projects

The "SharePoint project scope" is all of the things that must be produced to complete a SharePoint project. These 'things' are called deliverables and you need to describe them in depth as early in the SharePoint project as possible, so everyone knows what needs to be produced. Take these 5 Steps to scope your SharePoint projects: Step 1: Set the Direction Start off by setting the direction for the SharePoint project.
