Hmmm I will look at your code Dronsiy...
One exciting thing to report is that LightningTools is looking for beta testers for their new Silverlight Sharepoint Forum Web Part!

The Link

Of course it will probably end up costing a good chunk of $... possibly they give the beta testers a deal.

New Post: Who is using SPForums?

aaronnaas — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 15:11:51 GMT

I am impressed with the SPForums concept and lots of the work behind it, but there are some rough edges (including lack of WSSv3 (2007) support, and a growing number of items in the issues tracker). I recently ported SPForums to WSSv3 (from info in the community posts) and started finding strange behaviors such as:

Port required postback code that might break other web parts.
Topic subjects aren't normally asked for, so they show up as blank.
Replies is displaying as -1 because the NumPosts isn't being updated for Topics in the underlying lists.

(I suspect that these issues were in the WSSv2 (2003) version)

Question
It's great that the community is able to help us get through these issues, but I would like to know:

Is using SPForums in production?
Is this a dead project?

New Post: Docs mention Version 2.0 for SharePoint 2007

aaronnaas — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 14:45:43 GMT

Did development stop for the "Version 2.0 web part" for SharePoint 2007 ?

From "Feature List" docs at /SPFORUMS/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Feature%20List&referringTitle=SharePoint%20Forums%20Documentation :

Some of these features will come automatically (like RSS and Email) with version 2.0 of the Web Part, which will ship with SharePoint 2007 (and is being actively worked on so you’ll have a release as soon as the product is ready later this year).

How to solve a problem with 'Post' and 'Cancel' buttons in MOSS 2007..In the new topic page clicking 'Post' and 'Cancel' has no effect. I have javascript error : javascript:ProcessOwsForm('ctl00$m$g_66b1ceb4_d999_492c_856a_dc52e200599c$ctl00$btnPost', 'Click');
I saw discussion on this problem but it there is not solved

New Post: Alerts?

TGAW — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 23:08:01 GMT

Just to flesh out the steps on mariannegru's solution. To set up the alerts in SharePoint 2007 you would:

1) Go to http://servername/sitepath/Lists/spforums_posts/AllItems.aspx
2) Under Actions, click on Alert Me
3) From there, it is pretty straight forward with setting up what users, what you want to alert on and how frequently.

And like mariannegru mentioned, you'll want to customize the http://servername/sitepath/Lists/spforums_posts/DispForm.aspx to redirect to your page with the control, passing along that TopicID. (Once I get mine fine-tuned, I'll post my full steps).

New Post: 7 Reasons Why SharePoint is a Great PMIS

An excerpt from meetdux.com:

I just posted my first article for Bamboo Nation as the resident project management expert. I discussed the 7 Reasons Why SharePoint is a Great PMIS:

Empowers the project manager
Seamlessly integrate with existing project management tools
Centralizes and provides traceability to project artifacts
Automates project processes
Provides on-demand reporting of project status
Facilitates effective project team collaboration
Minimal learning curve for project stakeholders

New Post: Why I Love URL Shorteners

alwaysjsy — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 19:55:45 GMT

An excerpt from meetdux.com:

"Have you ever received an e-mail like this?

When you click on the link, it takes you to a bad web page because not all of the link was sent to the browser.

As a project manager, I receive and send tons of links via e-mail and more often than not, I would come across this problem on a regular basis. First off, the link is not bad - it's just that it's too long when it's clicked from an e-mail, the entire address is not passed to the web browser hence going to the wrong address. The right way of addressing this is to copy the entire URL and paste it on the web browser address bar."

New Post: Empowered by SharePoint

alwaysjsy — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 19:53:56 GMT

"A key point I stressed throughout the seminar is the ability of SharePoint to empower individuals in any organization to take charge in creating collaborative platforms. An example I shared that most of everybody in the room was able to relate with is collaboration in project environments. Typically, if a project manager wanted a collaborative platform (other than email) to facilitate sharing of project documents, schedule, contacts, and status updates, he or she would need the IT/IS departments' intervention and assistance to set it up. In addition to this, IT/IS would need to define the appropriate access privileges to limit who has access to these project information. Now, realistically, do you think IT/IS will get it done ASAP?

By using SharePoint, with minimal technical skill requirements (familiarity with Windows, Microsoft Office and web surfing), a project manager can setup a web-based project collaboration platform that can store all project information (documents, templates, reports), enable document management capabilities (versioning, check-in/check-out), define access privileges, and generate automated reports. All this without IT/IS support. Think about the possibilities. In the next few weeks, I will be discuss specific steps in creating a collaborative project environment in SharePoint."

New Post: 5 Essential Tools for Project Management

alwaysjsy — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 19:52:32 GMT

As a project manager in the 21st century when most of us have a blackberry smart phone, drive with a GPS-enabled car, use TiVo to record our favorite show and carry a Mac as our notebook of choice, you would think we are as sophisticated in leveraging the latest and greatest tools to support us in managing projects. Guess again.

A lot of project managers I know rely heavily on the following high-tech tools:

E-mail. Used for project communication. Don't you love being cc'd on every single freakin' email that gets sent in the project? Oh, don't forget those massive attachments. Ahh, nothing like technology from the 70's.

Microsoft Excel. I am already impressed with your abilities to stick in complex formulas. But come on, enough is enough. Excel is not meant for generating Gantt chats for Pete's sake.

USB Flash Drive. So what if your flash drive can hold up to 6GB worth of project information. Mine can hold 8GB. HA! Beat that. Although I am not sure how badly it would affect the project if I loose this puppy. Maybe it's a good idea to make a copy of the project schedule by e-mailing it to everybody in the team.

Wake up, people! You can keep using e-mail, Excel and your flash drive, but there are better and more effective tools out there that will make every project manager's life much easier. I have learned my lesson and these days, I make sure that I take full advantage of the following 5 essential tools for project management:
