How to hide pages from the navigation programmatically

If you have ever had a play around with the navigation settings in SharePoint you will see that you can tell it to automatically show sites and show pages. The pages option works great if you have a small number of pages in your site that you want in the nav, but what if you [ READ MORE ]

What to do when users are migrated between domains as far as SharePoint is concerned

I think I just hit a new record for longest post title on my blog ever. Anyway, I have been doing a bit of research into how users being migrated from one domain to another will affect how they interact with SharePoint. Here is the scenario – all of the users are in DOMAIN1 along [ READ MORE ]

Just passed the WSS developer exam

Just wanted to make a quick post with some bragging in it – I (fianlly) got a MCTS certification by (finally) doing the WSS developer exam (70-541: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 – Application Development). I got through the exam pretty quickly as I was very familiar with the content in it (I think I might [ READ MORE ]

A peek into VS 2010 SharePoint developer features

Sharepoint gets the error “The request was rejected by the HTTP filter”

Now I suppose given that I now know what causes this error, I suppose the title for this post is a little unfair as it’s not actually SharePoint causing it. I’ll start from the begining though … We have a public facing SharePoint site that is being tested at the moment, and it makes use of [ READ MORE ]

SharePoint failing to return 404 status codes for some files

REMINDER: Canberra SharePoint User Group February Meeting

Just a quick reminder that today is the Canberra SharePoint user group & Canberra .NET user group “super meeting” (I just decided to call it that because of the two groups sharing a meeting!). That means if you are a regular of the SharePoint user group, make sure you come today, not this Wednesday as [ READ MORE ]

Creating search scopes through code

Came up with this one today, basically I needed to create a search scope at the site collection level in code so that I could bundle it up as a feature and include in my site definition. Lucky for me though Rich Finn already put together a good code sample of how to do this [ READ MORE ]

I’ve been doing good in the MSDN forums

Just a quick bit of me stroking my own ego here – just wanted to share that I finally got my third medal for my work on the MSDN forums. I usually get into the SharePoint forums every morning and try to answer as many questions as I can, and there are plenty of other [ READ MORE ]

Associating workflows programatically

My first post on the new blog, good times people, good times! Anyway, I’ll get to the point. I have been working on a site that will be using some custom workflows with their publishing pages and documents. I want to associate these workflows as part of the site  creation process (in my custom site definition) [ READ MORE ]
