Lord Raoul Installing the Spanish Language Pack on MOSS 2007
Hey! Does anyone know where I can download the Spanish language pack for MOSS 2007 I found something called the Sharepoint Services template pack which doesn't seem to give me what I am looking for. Thanks, JasonG I spoke with Microsoft about this. So far, it seems you can only get the language packs through eOpen or through the MVLS website. Go figure - I thought they'd be at least available on the regular downloads site. JG You should obtain it through the channel you've got MOSS itself, e.g. MSDN/Technet Subscriber Downloads or MS Licencing portal. I've been looking around my MSDN subscription area and can't find any language packs. ...Show All
Kelly R. Martin sharepoint 2007 showing System Account instead of Username / full name
When i login with my username & password into sharepoint (2007) site, it displays as a "System Account" instead of my username or my full name on the top right corner of the website. What ever changes i make inside the site, for example upload a file, post a comment, sharepoint marks it as a System account instead of my name. Can someone help me figure it out why Thanks.

Bassey can't create workflow - sharepoint designer 2007
I'm testing out WSS3 & sharepoint designer. I want to create some custom workflows, but everytime I try to create on I get an error box "Failed to load the workflow". Any guesses as to what the problem is and how to fix it I am also getting this error. I get just the "Failed to load the workflow" error in SPD 2007; there are no errors to be found in the MOSS 2007 logs or locally in event logs. Is there any way I can turn on detailed logging for SPD 2007 to capture more information about this error That or is there somewhere SPD 2007 logs to by default besides the event log It did work for me out of the box, do you perhaps have a beta ver ...Show All
Schnoogs sharepoint 2003 little bug versus 2007
You know that little message displayed on sharepoint pages when we want to add new item. Add New item page. I am talking about the message: ''* INDICATES A REQUIRED FIELD'' When I checked the rendered html of the page, sharepont renders the page as: <BR><font>&nbp;* indicates a required field... and the BR tag is NOT closed with </BR> Whereas in 2007 there is no: <BR> tag. 2007 renders as <span>&nbp;* indicates a required field </span> in 2003 the <BR> tag is not closed and that creates a problem for me while programming based on the context html of the rendred html. My question: how do I get rid of the <BR> tag when sharepoint 2003 renders the add new item You might consider this qu ...Show All

Jon_V [bug] SharePoint Designer 2007 reformats CSS without prompting in harmful manner
Greetings. I am developing an internal Microsoft portal site. I have been working as a designer skinning SharePoint sites for several years now. I'm really hoping that Designer gets its flaws and bugs worked out, it's a shame I can't report bugs I find directly through the application, especially when it was in Beta. That made no sense. Anyway, on to the issue at hand: I edit css in SharePoint designer (perhaps that is my first mistake) because it is easy to just double click the file, edit away, and hit save without having to go through the extra steps of uploading every time I make a change. When I have a list of css classes that share the same styles, I set them up similar to the following example, with multiple style c ...Show All
Steve Jensen Cell Formatting Task Pane
Anyone know how to get the Cell Formatting Task Pane to appear I closed it and now have no idea how to get it back! No, there is no data or cell formatting options. Thanks Stephen, but I'm not sure what you mean. I don't see any Data/Cell Formatting menu item or context menu. I see a Data View menu but all of its entries are grayed out and none of them say Cell Formatting. If you select the cell in the Quick Tag selector in the top bar of the design view, do you see the Data/Cell Formatting option I don't have a copy of the program handy at the moment so maybe I am just deeply confused. Select a cell, then click Data/Cell Formatting to bring up the "Cell Formatting" task pane. ...Show All

Shawn Wildermuth - MVP &#40;C&#35;&#41; Storing Session State
We have been using SQL Server to store session state for a while. Now we are growing and looking for more scalable alternatives. It looks like there are three products on the market: ScaleOut, Ncache and StateMirror. Just wondering if anyone had any experience with any of these beasts. First, I would agree that article on scaleout is excellent - I wrote it. If your solutions do load balancing and fault tollerance without routing queries by session identifier and without replication and all at a price less than free then I am truly impressed and I agree that SQL Server can't come close to matching these. Try repeating your analysis with only session state in mind. How does update conflict resolution ...Show All
testorp where to store a unique ID?
Hello, I want to store a unique ID to use in a webpart. In a aspx page I would do it with a database field and a stored procedure, but with webparts i don't know. I want to give all my documents a unique ID, but not use the ID from sharepoint itself. Yesterday evening late, I found the Interface IListEventSink: using System; using System.IO; using Microsoft.SharePoint; using Microsoft.Diagnositics; //for EventLog public class EventSink : IListEventSink { public void OnEvent(Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListEvent listEvent) { if (listEvent.Type == SPListEventtype.Insert) { //do my actions } } } Thank you.

nbrege Calling Biztalk Rules Engine Remotely
I want to know if we can call the BRE from custom code (.NET API) remotely Lets say, The BRE is installed on Biztalk server. And I have an Asp.NET Web Application on a different IIS Server. Can I invoke the BRE from this ASP.NET web application Thanks. Thats what I figured. As far as I know, not, it is not possible directly, and even if you could, I'm guessing this would be outside of the uses allowed by the EULA. That said, I guess you could certainly expose a service from the BizTalk server that wraps your policies and allows you to call them remotely in that way (this could even be a biztalk orchestration that calls the BRE exposed as a web service, for example). ...Show All
