SharePoint 2007 Features

Created Issue: ManageConfigMods access and use

bzuidgeest — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 10:30:18 GMT

I cannot enter manageconfig mod. I have farm management priviledges, but still get an access denied. I then downloaded the source and removed that particular check. when I tried to use it I get the following error:

Dutch original
Kan geen web.config-wijziging toepassen op het bestand configuration/system.web/pages. Kan het opgegeven knooppunt C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\portal.dev.svc.local80\web.config niet vinden in het web.config-bestand.

english translation approximate
cannot change web.config in file configuration/system.web/pages. cannot find node C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\portal.dev.svc.local80\web.config in web.config-file.

I'm entering the top sample. I even tried other simmilar features. All give this error.

So what rights exactly do I need and what causes this error.

P.S. I can manually edit the web.config.

Commented Issue: 3.5 Config - Reactivation issue, pages node.

nbm400 — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 14:58:40 GMT

The 3.5 Config feature on first activation activates OK, deactivation of the feature deactivates OK, BUT if then it is reactivated for a second time there is an error:

Failed to apply a web.config modification to file 'configuration/system.web/pages'. The specified node "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\web.config" was not found in the web.config file.

The Pages node is completely removed from the web.config on deactivation. This is one issue but there is a further issue.

Original config

<pages enableSessionState="false" enableViewState="true" enableViewStateMac="true" validateRequest="false" pageParserFilterType="Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationRuntime.SPPageParserFilter, Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" asyncTimeout="7">

</tagMapping>
</pages>

After first activation

<pages enableSessionState="false" enableViewState="true" enableViewStateMac="true" validateRequest="false" pageParserFilterType="Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationRuntime.SPPageParserFilter, Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" asyncTimeout="7">

</controls>
</pages>

On deactivation the Pages node is removed. This means a second reactivation fails with the error above but a further issue is that the original nodes within the Pages node are now lost.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: nbm400 **

Same problem here... to make matters worse, once the problem is introduced any future calls to app.Farm.Services.GetValue<SPWebService>().ApplyWebConfigModifications(); return the same error.

New Post: Forums WebPart

mieliespoor — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 07:47:45 GMT

Hi there,

I had a look at the project and didn't see any webpart for forums. I am looking for a more enhanced forum webpart for sharepoint but can't find a something. This project came up in the searches I've done on CodePlex, but I cannot find anything on here.

Can you please refer me to where I can find something like that? I had a look at the SharePoint Forums Web Part project, but I doesn't really support WSS 3.0. Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,

Marais

Commented Issue: 3.5 Config & Ajax.Config httpHandlers added in the wrong order

<remove verb="*" path="*.asmx" /> gets added after <add verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd" <add verb="*" path="*.asmx" validate="false" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>

This Means the .asmx pages do not work on the sharepoint application affter adding the feature. This also prevent you edit the site using sharepoint designer because /_vti_bin/usergroup.asmx will give a 401.

Comments: ** Comment from web user: chipso4 **

This issue also wreaks havoc with sharepoint designer. I keeped getting a weird error everytime I tried to connect (The server sent a response which SharePoint Designer could not parse. If you are trying to connect to a Windows SharePoint Services server, check with the server's administrator to make sure Windows SharePoint Services is installed properly.) Helpful feature but lost a lot of time debugging.

Project Description
This is a project for SharePoint 2007 Features. Features add new functionality to a SharePoint 2007 farm, site collection, or site. This project will create Features to address deficiencies in SharePoint 2007 or add new capabilities. You should understand a little about Features before trying these out. The packages here use batch files or WSP files to install the Features. After installation, be sure to activate the Features to see them in SharePoint.

If you want to contribute Features to this project, please contact Scot Hillier at scot@shillier.com.

Available Features

Here is a brief description of each feature. More detail is available in the "Release Notes" document.

This is a Feature for viewing the Unified Logging Service (ULS) logs from within Central Admin

Print List
This Feature adds a "Print List" menu item to the "Actions" menu for every list in the site collection. This feature is based on the sample found here http://spstips.blogspot.com/2007/01/how-to-add-print-list-option-to-list.html and is used with the permission of the author. This version adds a blank master page, view selection, and a code-behind assembly.

Toolbar Manager
This Feature allows you to selectively show and hide menu items on the standard list/library toolbar. The feature adds a new web part to the gallery that you can place on any list/library view page. Once placed on the page, you can use the properties of the web part to show or hide menu items. This is the perfect solution for hiding a single menu item such as “Export to Spreadsheet” to prevent users from taking that action.

PrinceCharles23 — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 13:33:17 GMT

Same problem with Ajax.Config and afaik a problem with every mutually used (read: has possible subsections added by other projects) section that is added via WebConfigModifier.AddNodeValue (i.e.: SPWebConfigModificationType = EnsureChildNode)

with SPWebConfigModificationType = EnsureSection one can add such sections but then it's not possible to ceate nodes with attributes.

is there any known workaround/solution?

Commented Issue: 3.5 Config & Ajax.Config httpHandlers added in the wrong order

Tezler — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 16:30:48 GMT

This problem does cause issues. The luxeries and benefits gained by using solutions and features are lost if manual editing is required. While appreciating it gets you 95% of the way there having to manually edit the web.config file after deployment destroys the feature.
