Patch Uploaded

ewilde — Tue, 13 May 2008 16:34:29 GMT

ewilde has uploaded a patch.

Description:
Changes:

All changes were made to the IEE\CKS.InternetExtranetEdition\FormsBasedAuthentication branch of CKS

1) Fixed redirects

Fixed redirect to work for site collections other than the root site collection. File affected RoleDelete.cs, RoleNew.cs, UserDelete.cs, UserEdit.cs,

2) Bug in UserNew.cs when creating a new user and assigning FBA roles. The private member variable was incorrectly reporting false in the OnSubmit event handler. Corrected this by evaluating the "is role feature was enabled" in a property "ShowRoles".

3) Manifest.xml

Missing references to UsersImport.aspx and RolesImport.aspx

4) Custom actions

Fixed url so that is works for non-root site collections. Files affected Elements.xml in RoleAdministration, SiteFBAAdministrations and UserAdministration features

CKS:EBE 2.0 Final Release

The EBE is not working in the german version. After installing the feature on a german website, the default.aspx page cannot be found anymore. When navigating to a post, the post is displayed in the old sharepoint fashion, without any enhancement.

NEW POST: Virtual Earth web part - msspacelite?

beattyd — Tue, 13 May 2008 02:39:53 GMT

I have done all the suggested steps and I found the MDF in the VIRTUAL_EARTH_MAPS_ON_SHAREPOINT_Source Zip.

But I am still seeing the pop-up "Error! There was an error in the callback" any time the map is updated.

I am testing the Bamboo Virtual Earth ($400) and it is working well.

NEW POST: ECTS w/ADAM + SSO ?

austegard — Mon, 12 May 2008 19:08:55 GMT

Is it possible to leverage ECTS with its built-in ADAM support to simplify extranet account management for a Single Sign-On MOSS solution?

If so, what would be involved?

CREATED ISSUE: CKS - Virtual Earth Maps on SharePoint

CraigHumphrey — Mon, 12 May 2008 04:48:11 GMT

Just downloaded this (7th May 2008) and installed (installer, not source) successfully, however the ZIP file doesn't include the mentioned MDF files.

However I have just located them in the Source ZIP file.

Hopefully nothing else missing...

CraigHumphrey — Mon, 12 May 2008 04:40:00 GMT

Hi,

yeah, I just grabbed the current release of this and while I didn't have any problems with the automated install (of the list, etc), I can't locate the MDF files either. If there isn't already an issue logged, I'll log one now.

Later'ish

3. The MDF file referenced in the documentation does not appear to be in the package either, or at least I can't find it to attach in SQL Studio.

I feel that I must be missing something big, because this installation really isn't going very well. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Marcia.

CREATED ISSUE: Javascript should not be allowed on comments

eblanco — Sun, 11 May 2008 19:25:40 GMT

When using CKS:EBE you can insert HTML & jscript code in the comment text.
While writing html can be just annoying, jscript can be a security risk.

IMHO there should be some option to remove the jscript (or just don't allow users to enter it).

Just my 2c!

Hi,

I am curious to know how "Transform-XslName" get's used in CKS EBE. I know that we can give the stylesheet we want to apply. But where in the code reads the tag to find out the stylesheet to apply.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks

NEW POST: windows Live setup

apowell42 — Fri, 09 May 2008 16:55:53 GMT

Finally figured this out and got it working ... for those interested:

I started over and used the default zone with Windows authentication; then extended the application to the extranet zone and configured Windows Live / Forms authentication. (I'm not sure if it was necessary to have the windows authentication in the default zone, or if I could have actually made it work with the Forms authentication in the default zone ... ).

The web.config file for both zones required the membership and role provider information for LiveID; however only the extranet zone file has these listed as the default providers.

Once the WindowsLive profile was created/registered on the extranet site, I was able to go back into the default site and add the WindowsLive user.

The post on this site helped:

Maybe in retrospect this should have been obvious, but it wasn't at the time.

NEW POST: CKS: Lost focus?

NiskyPTO — Fri, 09 May 2008 16:55:11 GMT

If you chart the frequency of updates for the source code, it seems the whole CKS idea is headed towards a big disappointment. I am especially interested in FBA-IEE 2, which has a posted related date of October 2007. It's been in pre-beta forever now. Come on people, you could at least update expected release dates and major issues to close. Yes, we all have day jobs, but this never stopped progress here before. That's why i think the whole thing is losing focus... . . . . . .

NEW POST: Please post .wsp for Tag Cloud v1.2

nhandberry — Fri, 09 May 2008 15:33:48 GMT

I agree it would be nice to post the .wsp file as well as I'm trying to stick with deploying solutions rather than touching the web server or having to remember to deploy to the GAC on each front end server. I tried pulling the source code and running makecab to build the .wsp off the ddf but it gives me an error because each of the .dwp files is in a separate folder. I tried messing around with the ddf file but screwed things up where it wouldn't copy the dwp files into the web part gallery. Could someone either post the .wsp file or better yet post instructions on how to create the .wsp from the source solution?

Here is how I tried to build the solution along with the error I received
Open command prompt and browse to my source directory something like D:\projects\CKS.TagCloud.Public\CKS.TagCloud.Public\DeploySPTagging\bin\Debug
Run the command "Makecab.exe /F CKS.TagCloud.Package.ddf"

Error:

NEW POST: CKS:IEE Given Key in Dictionary error

I just started using this software this week so I don't have any experience with the change user password page. I gave a quick look at the code but don't see them doing anything custom that would be causing that error. What I've been doing on those is writing standalone apps/pages to try to reproduce the error with more details that SharePoint gives.

HTH,
Kyle

http://live.maps.com
http://dev.virtualearth.net

NEW POST: CKS:IEE Given Key in Dictionary error

ChristopherW — Thu, 08 May 2008 01:05:54 GMT

Thanks for the help Kyle.

I think my setup is a little different from what M$ actually says to do. I have https site as the default zone and my normal internal URL set to the Intranet zone. If I deploy to the https site, I can use the FBA User Management (UsersDisp.aspx) from the https site, but not from the internal site. ok that makes sense since it's deployed to https. However -- the change user password page only seems to work on the http internal address and not from https. When I navigate to the page from https it just tells me that an unexpected error has occurred. I really need this to work from the https site rather than the internal site.

The reason for setting up my environment this way is due to the picture libraries. Before when I had my internal URL in the default zone and https in Extranet and/or Internet, the picture library thumbnails would show up as red X's on the page. Seems to me like there's an issue in SharePoint in how picture libraries use fixed vs. relative URLs in the thumbnail views.

Since most of the administration needs to be done by internal people, I'm just going to create a 2nd site, use FBA on it and point it to the same application as my main system. This way I have an internal way of adding and editing users into the database.

thanks for the help!
Chris

NEW POST: windows Live setup

apowell42 — Wed, 07 May 2008 22:09:20 GMT

I have installed the Windows Live authentication provider on a new WSS 3.0 site. When I access the site, I'm prompted for my windowsLive ID and it looks like I'm authenticated fine. However, since my windows live ID hasn't yet been given access to the website, I'm denied at the web app and prompted to request access.

Since WindowsLive is the configured authentication provider, I'm not able to log in with other credentails to approve myself. I tried extending the web application and using windows authentication in our Intranet zone, but I'm still not able to approve the windowsLive ID. I've tried adding the windowslive ID as a application admin through the central configuration, but was denied saying there was no match for that ID.

How do I grant access to the windowslive ID?
