Code Blocks in MOSS 2007

By default, code blocks are set in the web.config file for the SharePoint server. For the code in this page to run, you will need to add an exception to the file to allow code to be run in the aspx.

Security Warning: The web.config file accepts a wildcard character: * when specifying the path, which could allow any page in the specified site collection to run code. With code blocks disabled, it is possible to bypass or work around permissions used on sites, lists and libraries.

The web.config file is generally located in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\CONFIG directory


1. Find the following tag in the web.config file:

<pageparserpaths>
........
</pageparserpaths>

2. Add a <pageparserpath> tag with path required attributes (see below)

<pageparserpath virtualpath="/_catalogs/masterpage/*"
compilationmode="Always" allowserversidescript="true"
includesubfolders="true">


The above line will allow any page in the masterpage library and sub-folders to run script or code. The web.config file should look like this:

<pageparserpaths>

<pageparserpath
virtualpath="/_catalogs/masterpage/*"
compilationmode="Always"
allowserversidescript="true"
includesubfolders="true">

</pageparserpaths>

SharePoint Looping Workflow - How to: Loop through and process all items in a list

Image
Objective To use SharePoint workflows to loop through all items in a list to perform calculations, process and update metadata values, or concatenate the value of a specific column in all list items into a single string. Background The OOB workflow actions provided by SharePoint don't allow a loop to be configured explicitly. Instead, a number of workflows can work together to create a looping affect. Another limitation of Workflows in SharePoint using SharePoint Designer (SPD) is the inability to simply test if the user who initiated the workflow is a member of a SharePoint group, or to test if the value of a field in the item which initiated the workflow is equal to the value of a specific field from any item in a separate list. For example, the OOB Approval Workflow requires that a user who is an Approver of changes to approve their own changes each time a modification is made. In many cases, Approvers are also the users who make many of the changes that require content approval...

Solved: Can't Group By Choice Column in SharePoint List View

By Default, items in a SharePoint list can't be grouped by a Choice field if it allows multiple selections (checkbox). To be able to group by the value of a Choice field in a SharePoint list or library which allows multiple selections, you need to ensure that the Choice field/column is set as Radio Buttons or a Drop Down Menu. Both of these options only allow a single selection of the available choices, which is required to allow grouping by the column/field using Standard SharePoint List views. To group by a Choice field which allows multiple selections (checkboxes), convert the Web Part to a Data View using SharePoint Designer, then apply grouping doing the following: 1. From the "Common Data View Tasks" menu for the Data View Web Part, select "Sort and Group:" from the options to open the Sort and Group Dialog, add any field into the Sort Order section to activate the "Edit Sort Expression..." button. Click the "Edit Sort Expression..." b...
