The time has come to thank Bil Simser (a LOT!) for his hospitality over the past couple of years in first offering to host my blog using his server and also to let me hang around for so long.

The new blog is being hosted by the Mindsharp Blogs system and the URL is http://sharepoint.mindsharpblogs.com/MikeW

I'm moving the blogs across. So far I've moved the ones until (backwards) the beginning of February. The job is made more difficult by my also updating the links of WSS FAQ items to point to the present WSS FAQ site(s).

Later:

As Bil doesn't seem to have tired of me, I'll occasionally add here some duplicates of posts that go to the Mindsharp Blogs site.

All the WSS FAQ additions and contents posts will however go only there.

With WSS 2.0 and SPS 2003 lots of things didn't work if you weren't using IE as your browser. 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?

The following is the entire text of a post to a SharePoint forum.

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

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.

Parallels 4.0 for the Mac came out in January claiming lots of advantages over 3.0 some of which blog posts said didn't affect most people (I don't for instance have an eight-way machine with 8GB memory and aren't likely to have one any day soon).

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.

 

 

This is a request for you clever developer types with STABLE SP products recently released.

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

 to see if I already have your product listed.

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 2003.

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).

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.
