It was especially essential to use IE for administration.

With WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 I've rarely found the need to use IE for Administration and most things just work in Chrome (and Safari for the Mac) which I use more than IE on one of my machines.

However, there's always a bit of nastiness hanging around waiting to hit the unwary.

This particular piece of nastiness was caused by my noticing that the number of items I had listed in my Books page had gone well over 200 and so page changing was necessary.

I solved that by making the limit 400 but now I had a very long page, so I decided to change Grouping to non-expanded.

That in turn led to me wanting to remove the Grouping: prefix which looked fine when the page was in expanded mode but looked ugly when you saw line after line of it.

So off to SPD 2007 and (thankfully after making a copy of Books.aspx) convert that section of the page to XSLT. Get rid of the "Grouping: " text before the Group name (and which for reasons that I can't really understand also gets rid of the (nn) after the group name!) and Save.

Go to Chrome and test. The page opens up fine and looks as it should. Luckily I then click on one of the "+"s to open one of the sections and nothing happens. Oops.

Go to IE (7 as it happens) and try that there. Yes, the "+" opens with no problems.

In SPD 2007 rename the new version and rename back the saved version. Phew, good thing I saved a copy ...

Now test again in Chrome. Now there is action when I click the "+" but not enough as all that happens is that it says "loading" and keeps on saying "loading".

Head over to IE again and refresh the page and do + there. No problems. "Loading" for a minute amount of time and then the listing for that section are there.

Back to Chrome and the section is still "loading".

So the only thing to do is either disfigure the web page with two links (one of which is marked IE only) or abandon the whole idea of having the web page non-expanded by default.

I do the latter.

It's interesting to note that when accessing v2 SharePoint in the old days in Firefox, if "non-expanded" was specified, that was ignored and the page opened in expanded mode. (Using IE it was non-expanded). Now it opens in non-expanded mode and doesn't work (in Chrome).

Which alternative design do you think is better?

Different browsers can cause problems even with v3 SharePoint http://mikewalsh.bilsimser.com/PermaLink,guid,d62c6df4-330d-41f7-93dc-7247463120db.aspx http://mikewalsh.bilsimser.com/PermaLink,guid,d62c6df4-330d-41f7-93dc-7247463120db.aspx Thu, 09 Apr 2009 08:11:36 GMT With WSS 2.0 and SPS 2003 lots of things didn't work if you weren't using IE as your browser.

-----------------

Hi,

I am having the exact same issue. We are not using forms authentication.

Any further ideas?

Thanks.

------------

I've never really seen much point in writing posts saying that you are having the same problem, but a Microsoft contact thought such posts were very useful as they give an indication of the frequency of the problem. (If, that is, Microsoft read every forum thread, which I doubt).

However that's not the point here, the point is that the next poster marked the above post as a possible answer by marking it with "Propose as Answer".

How any post saying "we are having the same problem" can be regarded as a possible answer to the problem is completely beyond me, yet this is not the first time (and won't be the last, I'm sure) that such a post has been marked as "Propose as Answer".

So not only does the poor Moderator have to deal with the ever-present self-proposers (who propose that their own post is an answer) but also has to deal with "answers" which aren't - by any stretch of the imagination - answers.

Sometimes I wonder why I bother but then comes along a post with a very clear and solid answer and someone whose judgement I trust has proposed it as an answer. Then I can see the point again as I rush to mark it up to Answer status.

No doubt you are saying to yourself that this happens once every couple of weeks so why the fuss. Well the above was today and this next one is also one that was seen today.

Hi XXXX!

Were you able to figure out how to resolve the problem?

Thanks,

YYYY

...and that too was proposed (by the poster in this case - Mr YYYY) as an Answer.

Special Note: The big news this week was the announcement that SPD 2007 was now free and you'll find the relevant links below. I've been saying for a couple of weeks in the forum, when suggesting that something could be done by using SPD 2007, that people should use the Trial version for now and wait a couple of weeks before buying it. That wasn't saying it would be free and also more improtantly wasn't breaking any NDAs because someone from Microsoft had let the news out in a publically available video and in addition after news of that publically available video had spread through the SharePoint MVP community like wildwire, a couple of SharePoint MVPs had put out blogs / articles on it before they saw the request from the Microsoft guy who unfortunately had leaked it that SharePoint MVPs *don't* publicise his mistake until the news was officially announced. Well now it is.

The key thing for all Administrators to be prepared for (and more importantly to block!) is that some of their users will be trying to use their newly acquired SPD 2007 copy to access the SharePoint site and could cause absolute mayhem if they are able to make changes to files like default.aspx and save them.

So I didn't bother with an upgrade.

I was in any way getting used to the fact that I these days actually had a company-paid copy of VM Workstation on my PC (along with the copy I already owned on my home PC) and I had also added VM Fusion to my Mac and finally - after using VMs in Parallel when writing my book - had started using it in a small way.

(Somehow I always seem to use the Mac for forums and e-mail (and watching German TV shows from www.zdf.de) and use the Desktop with the still-going-strong 20inch Pro HP screen for real work involving the VMs - if that is I can shift my wife off it)

Anyway the fact that I was using VM Fusion most of the time, didn't push me in the direction of upgrading the Parallels.

However I was still curious about 4.0 so when I was offered the upgrade for EUR 31.89, it was time to get out the credit card.

The install is naturally over the existing 3.0 version but it still required the new code just as you were thinking it wouldn't.

Then the upgrade was going on it required you to change the state of your 3.0 VMs from suspended to shut down, which of course meant opening them all in 3.0 and then shutting them all down. Having done all that, the installation seemed to be needed to be started again (as one of them was still listed and thus Next wasn't available) and this time it required that all the VMs that had already been shut down (not the ones that had just been shut down but all the other ones that had been shut down rather than suspended). So those all needed to be started again and then shut down.

There followed yet another new installation run and this time it actually installed 4.0.

Then you have to upgrade your existing Parallel VMs to 4.0. Here you are offered Backup and Convert or just Convert.

Lazy as always (and I had two USB drives with copies on in any case) I just did Convert and this was OK for the first couple (it's a two stage process - the first stage is automatic but then you have to run setup for the virtual CD drive to get the Parallel Tools 4.0 installed) but then the next one stuck with the bar on step 4 of 4 showing completed (graphically) but the Next button still not available.

So I waited and waited and started a second conversion and that stuck at exactly the same place.

Nothing for it. A forced shutdown of the entire MacBook and re-start. Needless to say, perhaps, both those converted VMs worked fine. They had completed but just not informed their little installation routine mate that they had completed.

Anyway there you have it. I now have both Parallels 4.0 and VMFusion VMs on the MacBook. However since I replaced the hard drive with a 500GB one I can afford to have two different versions.

The only pity is that as this is a MacBook with a 2GB memory limitation, I can't have two many of the VMs open at any one time.

P.S. When doing the final conversion (a 15GB MOSS VM) I had a new variation on the theme. It stopped registering any change in ho far it had gone about half way through the blue bar showing progress in step 3 (of 4). This time when I restarted the MacBook after the forced close down, it first didn't boot but gave me the hard disk symbol only. Clicking that, though, booted the machine and clicking the MOSS image then took me right back to the same screen I'd had before (showing halfway through the third step) only this time it kept going and very very quickly jumped to step 4 and ready. Perhaps if I'd waited a bit longer before turning it off it would have completed by itself, but most probably it wouldn't have shown this and I would have still been forced to do a forced shutdown.

So the conversion works but the routine controlling it could be better. It could for instance let you close it down when it is stuck instead of forcing you to crash the entire system.

I've finally got round to working through the daily RSS feeds I have that give me the Codeplex New Releases and I now realise that there's a limit on the number of feeds that are being kept so I can only see the latest 20.

With some of the feeds coming twice (don't ask me why) this means that I don't have any of the feeds from Febuary 24th to March 9th.

So, if you read this and know that your product was listed in CodePlex New releases during that period (or even if you have a feeling that it must have been around then), please let me know either as a comment here or to my hotmail address which is the Finnish word for Englishman or englantilainen. (I moved in fast!)

Please don't let me know if your product is still in beta. I only add stable codeplex products/projects to the WSS FAQ list of free products.

P.S. If you want to do me a real favor/favour please - before you send me e-mail - check this page

http://wssv3faq.mindsharp.com/Lists/v3%20WSS%20FAQ/X%20Free%20Products.aspx

As I knew about all the problems involved with synchronizing (and keeping synchronized) Project Server 2003 with WSS 2.0 (which it used for web access), I - rather too clearly perhaps - indicated that I thought this was mad and that they should instead implement Project Server 2007 where there were no such problems.

It was obvious from the reply that they thought I was mad to propose implementing a product that hadn't been out for several years.

Maybe that's the reason when just as we are waiting for beta versions of the next versions of SharePoint (although Steve Ballmer is on record as saying that the next version of Office will not appear in 2009, that oughtn't to be a reason for the beta versions not to be out this year - it's certainly necessary if they are going for a 2010 release date), I'm hearing of a sudden increased interest in Finnish companies in implementing MOSS 2007.

(It's always MOSS 2007, but I bet most if not all of what most companies do with it in the first couple of years could equally well be done with WSS 3.0.)

It's about time. I've been envious of my colleagues in say Germany where SharePoint usage has been booming for a long time.

There's only one (major) fly in the ointment. Will the present economic climate (and Finnish export industries - which is most of them - are suffering just like everyone else) mean that such major investments are put off for a couple of years?

If they are what's the betting that they decide on implementing MOSS 2007 at a time when it is known that the next version of MOSS will be out in a couple of months?

Much later: no one spotted that it's WSS 2.0 that Project server 2003 used not WSS 3.0. Shame on you all. I'm claiming a typing error for the mistake (now corrected).

Finns take to SharePoint but slowly (?) http://mikewalsh.bilsimser.com/PermaLink,guid,14d7fb6d-25d5-43d8-9063-7cd6aebc1ba6.aspx http://mikewalsh.bilsimser.com/PermaLink,guid,14d7fb6d-25d5-43d8-9063-7cd6aebc1ba6.aspx Thu, 26 Mar 2009 06:48:20 GMT In the autumn/fall of 2006 when WSS 3.0; MOSS 2007; and Project Server 2007 had been available as public beta versions for a long time and were close to final release, I had a meeting with a Finnish customer who said they were planning to implement Project Server <b>2003</b>. <p> </p> As I knew about all the problems involved with synchronizing (and keeping synchronized) Project Server 2003 with WSS 2.0 (which it used for web access), I - rather too clearly perhaps - indicated that I thought this was mad and that they should instead implement Project Server 2007 where there were no such problems. <p> </p> It was obvious from the reply that they thought <b>I</b> was mad to propose implementing a product that hadn't been out for several years. <p> </p> Maybe that's the reason when just as we are waiting for beta versions of the next versions of SharePoint (although Steve Ballmer is on record as saying that the next version of Office will not appear in 2009, that oughtn't to be a reason for the beta versions not to be out this year - it's certainly necessary if they are going for a 2010 release date), I'm hearing of a sudden increased interest in Finnish companies in implementing MOSS 2007. <p> </p> (It's always MOSS 2007, but I bet most if not all of what most companies do with it in the first couple of years could equally well be done with WSS 3.0.) <p> </p> It's about time. I've been envious of my colleagues in say Germany where SharePoint usage has been booming for a long time. <p> </p> There's only one (major) fly in the ointment. Will the present economic climate (and Finnish export industries - which is most of them - are suffering just like everyone else) mean that such major investments are put off for a couple of years? <p> </p> If they are what's the betting that they decide on implementing MOSS 2007 at a time when it is known that the next version of MOSS will be out in a couple of months? <p> </p> <p> <LEFT> <script type=text/javascript><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-7109607934593950"; google_alternate_color = "FFFFFF"; google_color_border = "FFFFFF"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 60; google_ad_format = "468x60_as"; google_ad_channel ="2397098682"; //--></script> <script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type=text/javascript> </script> </LEFT> </p> <p> Much later: no one spotted that it's WSS 2.0 that Project server 2003 used not WSS 3.0.

This second post for the period I was away has the MS Articles; Downloads and the video demos that I could find for the period.

To come is still a check of the real web casts that might have come in those almost 4 weeks (by now) and the time-comsuming process of trying to find and add new Codeplex "products".

By the way, www.wssfaq.com now points to wssv3faq.mindsharp.com.

Note: All of the addresses of the KB / Articles - 2007 Products / MS / Non-MS Articles below were valid at the time I added them to the WSS FAQ site and to this file. I can't guarantee that they still are.

(Items are added to the WSS FAQ throughout the week so you will find new items more quickly by checking at http://wssv3faq.mindsharp.com daily.)

From 22nd February to 21st March 2009 (2)

NOTE: Amendments to KB articles are now only listed when a version is x.0. MS no longer change the dates of KB articles when version changes are minor.

http://mikewalsh.bilsimser.com/SyndicationService.asmx/GetEntryCommentsRss?guid=f9aa61ec-26aa-4928-80f3-52301fb5890b WSS FAQ additions and changes CXLIII - 22nd February to 21st March 2009 http://mikewalsh.bilsimser.com/PermaLink,guid,f9aa61ec-26aa-4928-80f3-52301fb5890b.aspx http://mikewalsh.bilsimser.com/PermaLink,guid,f9aa61ec-26aa-4928-80f3-52301fb5890b.aspx Sat, 21 Mar 2009 07:32:02 GMT <p> There are a couple of important things before I start the usual post. </p> <p> <strong>The first</strong> is that I have been away for over three weeks and while I after 10 days couldn't stay away and started moderating the key SharePoint forums from expensive Internet Cafés, I didn't in that time do any updates to the WSS FAQ sites. </p> <p> This post is the result of what I have managed to process since I got back a couple of days ago (mostly done early this morning). It's a lot of new and revised KB articles from that period along with three books that have moved to released status; one that has been announced and finally one that has been removed from the list as the publishers having earlier said they would publish a book with that title now won't. </p> <p> I'll continue this weekend after posting this to work on adding more links and content to the WSS FAQ site, probably starting with the articles and downloads that became available during that time. So check the site and also watch out for a possible interim "additions and changes" post here during the week. </p> <p> <strong>The second</strong> is that I came home to the news that Asaris who has long supported the German mirror site (that I - now it can be said - started so that *I* could have a second source when lines to the US were down [and it did happen]) will no longer support it from the first of April 2009 and that at the same time the site would disappear. I was offered the option of paying for it myself from the present hoster but that would be for a WSS 3.0 site with a completely different URL which means that none of the earlier links would work in any case (a key fact if you are hoping for Google ads to cover your costs). What's worse the cost wasn't per month fixed but was fixed plus additional costs over a certain amount of traffic (i.e. an open checkbook). </p> <p> So from now on (and until the lines to the US start not working too often for comfort!) the WSS FAQ site will be the version run using WSS 3.0 that is hosted by the US training company Mindsharp. Many thanks here too to Todd Bleeker of Mindsharp for setting up those sites very quickly for me when the previous US host (Collutions) vanished from sight for over a week. </p> <p> There are two sites <a href="http://wssv3faq.mindsharp.com">http://wssv3faq.mindsharp.com</a> for the v3 stuff and <a href="http://wssv2faq.mindsharp.com">http://wssv2faq.mindsharp.com</a> for the v2 stuff. V2 stuff is still coming through in drips and draps but it's usually only KB article revisions so most of my work nowadays goes on maintaining the v3 stuff. The v2 stuff is typically WSS 2.0 only not SPS 2003, but the v3 stuff is both WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 and other associated products. (v4 to come probably if there ever is such a product and it's ever available as a public beta). </p> <p> Finally: <a href="http://www.wssfaq.com">http://www.wssfaq.com</a> will point to <a href="http://wssv3faq.mindsharp.com/">http://wssv3faq.mindsharp.com</a> as soon as the DNS has been changed. (Not directly under my control) </p> <p> -------------------------------------------------- </p> <p> Note: All of the addresses of the KB / Articles - 2007 Products / MS / Non-MS Articles below were valid at the time I added them to the WSS FAQ site and to this file. I can't guarantee that they still are. </p> <p> (Items are added to the WSS FAQ throughout the week so you will find new items more quickly by checking at <a href="http://wssv3faq.mindsharp.com">http://wssv3faq.mindsharp.com</a> daily.) </p> <p> From 22nd February to 21st March 2009 </p> <p> NOTE: Amendments to KB articles are now only listed when a version is x.0. MS no longer change the dates of KB articles when version changes are minor. </p> <p> <LEFT> <script type=text/javascript><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-7109607934593950"; google_alternate_color =

** The next post of this "weekly" item will be on or around the 21st of March 2009 - I won't have updated much until just before then anyway. **

Note: All of the addresses of the KB / Articles - 2007 Products / MS / Non-MS Articles below were valid at the time I added them to the WSS FAQ
site and to this file. I can't guarantee that they still are.

(Items are added to the WSS FAQ throughout the week so you will find new items more quickly by checking at wss.collutions.com or www.wssfaq.com daily.)

From 15th to 21st February 2009

NOTE: Amendment to KB articles: Microsoft are now not amending the date of a KB article if the change made is marked as a version point change (so from 2.2 to 2.3 for instance).
This ought to mean that the amendment made is cosmetic rather than important as important text changes ought to result in a major version change (such as from 2.2 to 3.0).
Because of this change and to avoid unnecessary effort I will in future not amend the listings in the WSS FAQ sites if only a minor version change has taken place.
I will continue to amend both the date and version numbers of major version changes and of course will continue to add all relevant new KB articles that my RSS feeds and other sources give me.
