• Alex2200 Visio UML Code templates

  Has anyone got any documentation or examples of custom Code templates. Regards If you are willing to make decent investments, you could consider writing plugins for Visio.

• Neal Hudson Designing multi-company databases

  I'm designing a website that can be used by multiple companies. It seems that there are two options: 1) The set of tables used by a company is owned by that company. This implies a database per company. This allows each company to upgrade individually but could cause managment problems with having many databases. 2) Use only one database but place a company ID column on each table. This implies only one database for the entire website but restricts companies from being able to upgrade independantly. Are there any other options besides the two listed above If not then which option do you think would be the best Depending on the database. If you choose a mature database like SQL Server, ...Show All

• wilhil Meta tags in MOSS 2007 master pages

  Does anyone know how I might go about inserting meta tags such as "description" and "keywords" into my master pages and page layouts in a MOSS 2007 external facing site Ideally, when an author or editor is editing a page, I want field controls for the meta description and keyword tags, so the author can fill those in and save those with the page content. The problem is that I can't put a server control like a contentplaceholder inside of the content="" attribute on a meta tag. I've tried the following: <meta name="description" content="<asp:ContentPlcaHolder ID="PlaceHolderMetaDescription" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>" /> The ShareP ...Show All

• brajeshkumar69 PassThrough authentication fails: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'

  I've tried it with every AuthenticationMode! But no one seems to work correctly in my case. I thought that PassThrough should work with a preset User ID and password. This would be enough for the moment, but even this doesn't work!! With WindowsCredentials I get the following error: The Property with name 'SsoApplicationId' is missing on the LobSystemInstance. SsoApplicationId I tried to set this with the SharePoint SSO but I've no such services. How can I set this just for the current WindowsCredentials (of the current Sharepoint user) With RevertToSelf I get the following error: "An error occurred while retrieving data from MyLOBInstance. Administrators, see the server log for more information." The server log contained ...Show All

• Alessandro Camargo WSS 3.0 Disaster... Config database lost..

  Hi, today morning when I arrived work and try to access my sharepoint portal, I get the error "cannot connect to configuration database" .. for my surprise, I chek SQL server, and the "Sharepoint_Config" database is missing.

• Radexx Opening a page with FrontPage

  Why am I asked to check out the page when I attempt to open it with FrontPage For some reason, one of two people both having Administrative permissions can open the page without being prompted to check out and not the other. What would be the reason for this And, how do you turn the publishing off I dont think publishing is the problem - I think this is just how sharepoint works, since pages, like documents need to be checked out before being able to edit them. I think there is an option for automatic check out, but I am unsure how it is used. why not The pages are managed with versions if you enable the publishing feature in the site. this prevents two ...Show All

• Vale Surfer Custom Component Architecture

  I'm trying to design a custom component architecture for development environment of our interpreted language. However, I've stucked on defining scopes of control over those custom components. Since this is a client-server system,the codes interpreted on server side and results are sent over network to the client for rendering/updating. All controls and variables have a representation on server side as symbols having different level of scopes. Moreover, the system is already matured upto some level without having custom component concept and feature. So how this re-factoring and re-engineering process should be and how the custom component architecture design should be thnx, Ekrem Aksoy eaxthearchitecture.blogspot.com ...Show All
