VII WSSv2 FAQ

New or Modified

An "audience" was one of those SPS 2003 things I knew were in SPS 2003 and not in WSS (2.0) but that was about the extent of my knowledge. Well, that and the fact that you could use them to show different information to different people.

(I was WSS only and only needed to know what was only in SPS 2003 so I could ignore questions on them (newgroups) or pass them on to a colleague (conferences))

Now, in the v3 products, this (showing different information to different people) is automatic, isn't it, as people now see only what they are allowed to see, so I'll admit that I didn't see the point in having Audiences in MOSS 2007 any more, yet there they were.

This has niggled me for some time (as has the question of why do some people think that WSS 3.0 has audiences too [wrongly as it happens]) so I finally grabbed a pile of SharePoint v3 books and looked through the indexes.

I  found sections on audiences on both the MVP written "Beginning SharePoint xxx" books from Wrox and Göran Husman's Administration section comes out with a definite "Remember that Audience Groups are exclusive to MOSS" (followed by the fact that with WSS you could use "target filtering using SP Groups and security groups") and both that book and Amanda/Shane's define audiences in a Shared Services Administration site (=MOSS).

So that solved the "It's not in WSS 3.0 question?" (= it isn't) but it still didn't solve the "why on earth do we still have Audiences?" question which needed me to read on (in those same books).

It soon became very clear.

Whereas the new interface means that you only see what you are allowed to see (=security), Audiences mean that you see what you want to see (or at least what the SP admin thinks you want to see).

Let's take the sort of example they use in those two books. Sales.

You can specify that certain sites / doc libs / Link Libraries etc. can only be accessed by Sales people and then these sites/doc libs/Link libraries won't appear on the web pages of non-Sales people because they are not allowed to access them. (Security!)

However you might have things that you don't really care if non-Sales people see or not, but you don't think that they will be particularly interested in them. In this case the built-in security trimming isn't going to do the job for you and you need something more.

So you set up an Audience of Sales People and assign that Audience to those things that aren't by any means secret to Sales people only but which normally only Sales people will want to see. Now the Sales people's web pages will show those things but the web pages of non-Sales people won't.

So what's the difference ?

- If the non-Sales person hasn't got (security) access rights to something. he can't access it.

- If however the non-Sales person is excluded from having certain information presented to him on his web pages via Audiences, then he/she can still access that information provided he knows where it is. He/she is not blocked from seeing the information, it's just made more difficult.

So that's why Audiences are still there. They are if you like there so that users can avoid having too much Information available to them at first glance.

Of course the question remains that if they are so useful why can't we have them in WSS 3.0.

Well we can - in the words of fellow MVP Robert Bogue talking about IRunTimeFilter "the underlying technology works in WSS -- the implementation of IRunTimeFilter in MOSS is Audiences." - it's just that Microsoft provides the code in MOSS 2007 and you have to write it yourself in WSS 3.0.

In addition, as the quote above from the Göran Husman book makes clear, you can still have target filtering in WSS 3.0. Not so powerful maybe and not applicable everywhere, but still a solution to the same problem.

P.S. You'll find those Wrox books as items 25 and 22 here

http://wss.asaris.de/sites/walsh/Lists/WSSv3%20FAQ/V%20Books.aspx

 

It's now over a week since the WSS FAQ's URL www.asaris.de/sites/walsh became wss.asaris.de/sites/walsh and site hits are still running at a fraction (40% on a good day) of what they were before the URL change so I thought I'd see what Google was giving for a simple WSS FAQ search (i.e. Typing WSS and FAQ in a simple search with no ").

Google was fine. It gave first the Collutions site (wss.collutions.com) which has had the same name for years and then the wss.asaris.de address.

So I thought I'd check www.live.com.

They still had www.asaris.de ....

So much for that. Google wins this comparison handsdown.

We are creatures of habit and it's really only by chance that I've recently discovered that I can save myself a lot of time and still get the same amount of MVP "work" done.

The first time savings was a big one. I've been using Outlook Express to handle the newsgroups as using any newsreader is a major time-saver compared to any use of the browser in particular because a newsreader keeps track of what messages you have read already.

There were two main problems with OE.

Firstly because I track newsgroups both at home (on at the time two machines) and at work (1) there was always the need to bring the second machine's OE to the same level as the first machine's OE. This was easy enough if I went straight home from work and immediately turned the home computer on but even only stopping off a the shops on the way home meant I had to either take the risk of marking messages as read that I hadn't in fact read OR re-reading more messages than I cared to read.

The second problem was that I read messages by thread and OE had this good feature that when you opened a newsgroup in it it would go straight to the earliest unread message BUT then had no feature to go to the next earliest unread message. So I would open .windowsservices; read the earliest unread message there; open .general; read the earliest unread message there and then repeat. Messy; took extra time (but less usually than finding that next unread message) and had the risk of me thinking I was in .windowsservices when I was actually in .general.

I'd tried Thunderbird but used it too in thread mode and had seen no advantages in it (and a couple of oddities) and so abandoned it again.

But then I got the MacBook and guess what OE doesn't work in the Mac. So Thunderbird again only this time (and don't ask me why) I started using it in message mode - in other words single messages are listed sorted according to the date with the latest at the end.

Suddenly I solved the above two problems. Once I'd found the first unread message, all the rest followed neatly directly after it and it was now simple t update the home machine - just mark all messages until the time 'd last looked at the newsgroup (often visible because of a reply from me). Simple.

So I started using Thunderbird everywhere .

However this thread was about time saving. There is a major time saving with only having to do down arrow to see the next message's opening (or complete) text. So my sessions take maybe 25-50% (nearer to the lower figure) of the time I used to take.

There is always a snag and in this case it's minor. Sometimes either people don't quote what they are replying to (or sometimes Thunderbird doesn't pick up the quote) and so without after all selecting thread mode (*for that message*) I can't see the context. The other even more minor snag is that if someone posts a message to two newsgroups *at once* (not as two separate messages) it appears in both my Thunderbird newsgroups as unread whereas in OE once I read it in one it is marked as read in the other one.

That's one time saving.

The other involves keeping track of the SP KB articles and the changes to them.

Because I'm far too curious for my own good I have printed copies of all the SP KB Articles I know about and every time there is a modification (ver 1.1 say) I compare that with the 1.0 version (and file that new version too).

Because printing from IE doesn't always work properly for A4, I print in Firefox and so far what I've done is keep track (when I add new or modified articles to the WSS FAQ sites) of articles I've not printed yet by listing them in the file I use to post the WSS FAQ additions and changes message/blog. Then I copy/paste them one by one to Firefox and print them out.

Today I realised (about time!) that all I needed to do was open in Firefox my Blog site and the latest WSS FAQ additions and comments Blog.

Now I just go down the list there of KB articles click enter; print; back browser; click next entry etc. Saves 50% of the time when printing and all the time taken to keep that separate list up-to-date.

Why didn't I think of that before ?

So there you are. It's worth having a look at your semi-manual methods now and again to see if - based on experience - there aren't better methods around.

When you buy an Apple "HiFi" loudspeaker (of the kind that came out last year and that you can put an IPod into but can also - as I mostly do - connect to the headphone plug of your HiFi amplifier) then you get a small unit that looks roughly like an IPod which which you remotely control basic functions of the Ipod that is stuck into the loudspeaker.

I use it mostly to control the volume of the speaker (as its much smaller and more responsive than the amplifier's remote control).

Apple have been "clever" and you can if you have a Mac also use the same control to control the volume of ITunes on the Mac. This sounds a useful function doesn't it?

As I discovered today when I was starting up a VM in Parallels that contained WSS 3.0 and WSS 3.0 versions of several of the WSS FAQ sites' Lists, this dual functionality isn't always a great feature.

I namely amended the volume of the loudspeaker just as the VM was opening and there was a dull click from the MacBook and an ominious message that Parallels was unable to open the VM. Luckily the VM opened after doing the re-boot of the Mac they suggested (and without the addition of a volume click from me) but my heart was in my hands for a short while.

Sometimes Apple just go one step too far. (I'd like a right click on this keyboard too as the method you can use in OsX (Ctrl-Click) doesn't work in a Windows 2003 VM so you need to use one of you USB ports to add an external *proper* mouse.)

Note: I've spent most of the past week catching up with stuff. What 
you won't notice here are webcasts that happened since I was away and most blog items as I haven't yet been through most of them.

They'll be in next week's. There's enough to be going on with here in any case.

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.

III.43 Why can't I specify anonymous access to my WSS web site? (It's greyed/grayed out)

 

** This is a mini edition to get the latest v3 KB Articles into the system. Next week's regular posting/blog will include the rest of the backlog. **

Note too that there seems to be a temporary (I hope!) problem at Asaris so the www.asaris.de/sites/walsh links (WSS FAQ items below) may not work at once. LATER: problem solved but the addresses are now all wss.asaris.de rather than www.asaris.de - I have corrected the links here and in the preceding WSS FAQ blog posting (and may do some more later)

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.

The first thing is the Subject.

This should be completely meaningless. "Help!" is good.

Even if you decide to say something more meaningful here, NEVER say which SharePoint Product you are using. (This applies to the text too - we love making guesses and we love even more giving alternative answers).

Then - even if this is your first posting - start it with "Hello friends".

In order to really encourage us to answer the question, carry on by making sure we are aware that you work for a non-profit organisation or the US military. The latter really encourages SharePoint experts based in muslim countries to respond to your question.

Then you have two choices.

a) post your entire log file as the rest of your message

b) post your question in a long sentence with no punctuation and never use any Capital letters and if possible use as many SMS-type words - "u" for instance - as possible.

Finally end your question with a sentence like

"Please help me!"

It's a well-known fact that people only answer questions in newsgroups if they are asked specifically with this kind of sentence to provide help.

(even more efficient is of course "PLEASE HELP ME!")

---------

Let's see - did I miss anything?

Well there's always if you are a non-native English speaker who can write clear English anyway, always make a point of apologising for your English. Never do this if your English is terrible. Oh, and of course, the English language newsgroups really love having messages posted to them in Spanish.
