SharePoint DataView Web Part

Definition : An XSLT-rendering Web Part that receives its data (XML/XPathNavigable objects) from a DataSourceControl control.

Best site for it : http://dataformwebpart.com

DataForm webpart is the easiest webpart to develop and most efficient.

The Data Form Web Part is not completely new; in SharePoint 2003, this it is called the Data View Web Part. Using the Data Form Web Part, you are able to use multiple data sources, including data coming from external data sources. The data presented in a Data Form Web Part is also known as a Data View.

Follow the next steps to create a Data View.
1. Open the Site in Sharepoint Designer 2007
2. Go to Data View Menu and click Insert Data View. The Task Pane will be opened. And you can inserts a Data Form Web Part onto your Web part page.
3. The next step is to select a data source to create a data view. You can choose to select an already existing data source or to create a new data source. Select the data source you want, and choose Show Data from the dropdown list. Doing this opens the Data Source Details task pane containing all the fields that are available for that data source.
4. In the Data Source Details task pane, you can choose which fields you want to show in your data view. After selecting those fields, click the Insert Selected Fields As dropdown listbox. You can choose in what way you want to insert your selected fields.
5. More and Different Options are all configurable. The best way it to test it out by clicking all of them and watching them in the browser.

It is a very powerfull Web Part and worth to test and invest some time

Remove Sharepoint NEW tag in Lists

http://sharepointsolutions.blogspot.com/2008/05/does-new-tag-annoy-you.html

Nice link... Important command from this link.

The "setproperty" command will be used for this task as follows:

stsadm.exe –o setproperty –pn days-to-show-new-icon –pv (number of days) –url (Virtual server address)


For example, use the following syntax to prevent the new tag from appearing:

stsadm.exe –o setproperty –pn days-to-show-new-icon –pv 0 –url http://(your server name)

I haven't tested but I believe you can scope this stsadm command to Site level also. Not sure about list level.

Thanks.

SharePoint Search Visibility

Actually I was exploring Search Visibility option under site settings. When I started looking into it, this was the first question came up to my mind.

After doing some search, I think I am able to understand it.

Basically this setting is to tell SharePoint what to index.
There are 3 options to select from :

This site contains fine-grained permissions. Specify the site's ASPX page indexing behavior:
1. Do not index ASPX pages if this site contains fine-grained permissions

2. Always index all ASPX pages on this site

3. Never index any ASPX pages on this site

This setting is all about libraries which has aspx pages in it.

If the library is inheriting permission from site, then first option is fine.
If we are using fine-grained permission on library which contains aspx pages, we have to choose second option. Correct me if I am wrong but I think fine-grained means independent permission for document library.
If the library has content that we don’t want to show up in search to anyone or it’s a content that will not give any useful information and we want to hide it from search, the third option is for that.

Important to note whatever the setting is, in search results user will see only those items from library which he has access to view.

You can refer this link for more info: http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2007/06/28/windows-sharepoint-services-manageability-controls-part-1-of-3.aspx

Have fun.
