Thought I could share this one. I was creating a SharePoint 2010 Project Web database subsite and was faced with an error message " The formula contains a syntax error or is not supported. "
Data and Advanced Analytics. Formerly SharePoint.

This one time I was trying to programmatically modify an SPListCollection, and I stabled into the error " Collection was modified; Enumeration operation may not execute ". This error came about during the code block that looped through the SPListCollection and attempting to update the collection.
This one time I was trying to figure out why every time I created a SharePoint lookup field, be it programmatically or via the UI in SharePoint 2010 and 2007, which looks up to another SharePoint list field, it would always have a value "none" in it when in use. So now I really wanted to eliminate that value...
Hello folks. Once upon a time, I was trying to create SharePoint Task list Alerts programmatically for each user that had been granted permissions to the specific site. The requirement was that these users would be assigned tasks and they needed to receive notifications summarising all the tasks that they had been assigned, on a daily basis.
So this one time I was creating a SharePoint view programmatically, whose items I wanted to be ordered as "Most recent item must be top". This meant ordering by the "Created" column in descending order. So I used the following query:
Normally, for Specialists that are installing their SharePoint 2010 Demo environments, so as to demonstrate custom solutions to clients, they usually do their installations onto their machines (Laptops) that in most cases are connected to their company domains. So what happens when the Specialist goes home or is at a client site is that, their SharePoint 2010 Search fails to return any results, and the wonder why this is so when not only are there no errors being registered but they also have full permissions on anything they can think of, after all, they did the installation themselves using an account with admin privileges. ;)
Recently, a lot of people have been faced with the Taxonomy error message that says "The Taxonomy feature (Feature ID “73EF14B1-13A9-416b-A9B5-ECECA2B0604C”) has not been activated" and they wonder why this is so when their installation is so clean, both on site collection features and site features, this Taxonomy feature is not listed, and the administrator ends up activating it via STSADM. Did you know that creating a BLANK SharePoint site collection does not activate the Taxonomy feature? well now you know :), so that you can now include this step in your deployment documentations.
When creating SharePoint site columns and adding them to content types programmatically, we normally commit out changes by calling the update function in the syntax:- ContentType.Update(); Did you know that on the site content type you are updating, this function does not tick ‘Yes’ on the “Update all content types inheriting from this type?” but leaves it tick as ‘No’ as seen below, did you know? I didn’t. So now for this option to be tick ‘Yes’, you would have to call the same function, but this time pass the boolean as follows:- ContentType.Update(true); Please take note that I would have already declared ‘ContentType’ as SPContentType of course. Happy coding!
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} ’, ‘ {...
Here are the essential documents you need to complete… Initiation Business Case: To justify the financial investment in your SharePoint Project, you need to write a Business Case. It lists the costs and benefits, so everyone knows what the return on investment will be. Feasibility Study: Before you kick-off your SharePoint Project, you need to determine whether your project is feasible, using a Feasibility Study. SharePoint Project Charter: You then need to document the objectives, scope, team, timeframes and deliverables in a SharePoint Project Charter. Planning SharePoint Project Plan: You need to create a Project Plan listing all of the tasks required to undertake your SharePoint Project from start to finish. Every task must be scheduled, so you know what needs to be done and when. Resource Plan: Next, you need to plan your resources by documenting the money, equipment and materials needed for your SharePoint Project. Quality Plan: You then need to set quality targets, so that the S...
Happy New Year All, I stumbled into an error "The search application for 'SharedServices' on server [SERVERNAME] is not provisioned. Confirm that the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service and Windows SharePoint Services Administration service are running on the server" when I tried to open search settings from my SSP site. After some little reasearch on the Internet, I came to find that most likely the config database cache was corrupt, and to resolve this, I had to clear the cache. So here is how I went about it: 1. Central Administration > Operations > Global Configuration > Timer job definitions > Application Server Administration Service Timer Job > Disable. 2. Then open windows administrative services (services.msc), stop Windows SharePoint Services Timer (aka OWSTIMER) 3. Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\GUID and delete only the XML files from the directory, then open the cache.ini and change the number in it to 1. 4. Sta...
