SharePoint Shop Talk pagbabalik-tanaw para sa Huwebes 10/01/09

I’ve noticed that people seem to be waiting until the last minute to register for SharePoint Shop Talk sessions. Last Thursday, tungkol sa 11:45AM, nagkaroon kami siyam na tao magrehistro, which is a very small number. Gayunman, sa isang punto, nagkaroon kami 18 o 20 mga taong nag-sign in, so at least nine people signed up for it 45 minutes or less before the call. I’m not complaining, just observing.

We had a full schedule of questions and discussion topics and couldn’t get to all of them. Gaya ng dati, we’ll pick up where we left off this coming Thursday.

Here’s the recap:

Vamshi asked about building a WSS environment that has SP1 and not SP2. You can download that configuration here:

Nagkaroon kami ng (maligayang pagdating) surprise return visitor. A few weeks previous, Blue had asked us a question that left everyone on the call a little sad because we couldn’t help. His problem and solution are really fairly complicated, ngunit ito kahulihan babagsak ito sa paglikha ng isang view ng data web bahagi sa hanay ng mga filter na mga petsa (hindi lamang sa isang solong filter petsa, na kung saan ay mas madali). He may write up a blog entry on this and if does, I’ll link to it. In the course of the discussion, siya refer sa lahat ng tao upang ang dalawang mga link:

Looping in SharePoint designer – can it be done? The answer is “yes” in some narrow cirumstances. Gayunman, to do it, you need to do some tricky stuff that is hard to conceptualize, hard to implement, hard to debug … it’s just plain hard. The panel’s consensus – don’t do this if you can help it. If you need looping, create custom actions or drop down into visual studio. Talaga, kung gumagamit ka ng SPD, you prob can’t easily drop down into VS, but it is what is is, sadly.
Speaking of sad, Nancy wins the “Make the Panel Sad” award by (futilely) asking about drag and drop from a data view web part. The scenario is very interesting and if anyone has a clever solution, mangyaring ipaalam sa akin. Here’s the problem: she has a DVWP that is doing some necessary filtering on a document library that returns back dozens or more documents. This works great. Gayunman, her users need to take those documents and burn them to CD. This is doable using a windows explorer type view, but how to do it from DVWP? We couldn’t think of a good answer. Can you?
Laura Rogers, followed by Lori Gowan of www.endusersharepoint.com katanyagan (at sa ibang lugar) made us aware of the fact that attachments to InfoPath forms can be submitted via a web service to an image library in SharePoint. Sa labas ng kahon sa! That is a very interesting fact with some very interesting implications.

That’s pretty much it. I probably missed something, ngunit sana ay makuha mo ang diwa ng ito.

Kahit na alam kong hindi mo talaga ay mag-sign up hanggang tanghali, Huwebes, narito ang link ng pagpaparehistro para sa susunod na session, Huwebes 10/08 mula sa 12:30 upang 1:30 PM EDT: https://www.livemeeting.com/lrs/8000043750/Registration.aspx?pageName=0z40kg9nb0t0842f
