Modify the message that appears on an empty document library

We came across a very simple problem, and solution is more simpler. :)

We wanted to change the message appearing when there is no document in the document library.

Solution:The text comes from the core.resx resource file, located in 12\RESOURCES. It's divided up into four resources; just open the resource file in any text editor and search for "noitemsinview_doclibrary", and you'll find the strings.

NOTE: This will change globallly... and you shouldn't rely on changes to the system resource files directly - hotfixes or service packs might overwrite your changes.

Custom Lists for More Effective Workflow Auditing

SharePoint Designer workflow doesn’t give us a lot of visibility into what’s happening with our workflow solutions. And, the visibility that we do get is hampered by a relatively poor interface and 60 day time window. Paul Galvin has provided a good workaround for that here...

Data View Web Part, The Basics - Add a Hyperlink (Screencast)

When a Data View Web Part is added to a page in SharePoint Designer, it is sometimes useful to include links to the content of the list. In a regular view of a list on your site in the browser, the list’s Title field is a link to open the item. In a data view web part, this functionality is not automatically included. Following is a step-by-step process for using SharePoint Designer to add a hyperlink to a field in a Data View Web Part.

Understanding Record Management Feature

Many organizations and business have need to maintain their momentum of work in nice and in a perfect way. Work may include maintaining of documents, items, their repository. When we talk about documents, we should think in a bigger picture. Documents are not only stored, but they are actually shared and collaborated. Sharing means many other people can view it, and collaborate means people work on it, updates it, take an action on it, publishes it, needs meta data (who created it, when created it, who modified it, when modified it), give comments on it, approves it, makes the versions of it, compares them, expire based on policy defined and many more. This is where MOSS comes in to the picture. All these functionalities are built-in given. so why not to explore them.

Information Rights Management with SharePoint

Information Rights Management (IRM) provides an additional layer of content security over that provided by more traditional access control lists (ACLs). IRM establishes usage limitations on a file rather than limiting access. For example, you may grant a user access to a file but you may not want them to change the file on the client computer or forward it to someone else. IRM provides this additional level of security.

Implementing IRM security in SharePoint Products and Technologies requires additional software that is not shipped with either Windows SharePoint Server 3.0 or Office SharePoint Server 2007. You must install the Microsoft Windows Rights Management Services Client, version 1, on every Web front-end server in your server farm. In addition,Microsoft Windows Rights Management Services (RMS) for Microsoft Windows Server® 2003, service pack 1.0 or later, must be available on your network.

You can implement IRM on document libraries. When IRM is enabled on a document library, and a document of a type that can be rights-managed is downloaded from the server to a client application, the SharePoint Products and Technologies server encrypts the document and adds an issuance license. When the document is uploaded back to the server, the SharePoint Products and Technologies server decrypts the file and stores it in the library in unencrypted form, as content is not encrypted in the SQL Server database. This enables features such as search and indexing to operate as usual on the files in the IRM-protected document library. The IRM permissions that are applied to a document when users upload it to a document library are based on each user's permissions for the content in the SharePoint Products and Technologies server security settings.

Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 does not have the Microsoft® Office protector files that are required to automatically rights-protect a document when it is uploaded. You must use Office SharePoint Server 2007 to do this. More...
