Unable to delete page from a website

19-Aug-13 3:52

As far as I know there is no out-of the box way to publish a sharepoint foundation server site with public. Therefore are the internet server editions of sharepoint. For using sharepoint foundation public sites you need to have MS Internet Connection License.

Perhaps take a look at: Can I use SharePoint 2010 Foundation as a public facing site?[^]

A page isn't a website, so the way is wrong. If you want to delete a page than open that page, choose "site" in the ribbonbar and there you can use "delete site / page" to delete it (I'm not totally shure about the naming because I use the german edition).

There are differences between WebSiteCollections, WebSites, Sites and Pages in SharePoint (Google gives further informations) so you must be shure what kind of element you want to delete to get the proper way.

CAML query for nested and / or

Hi All,

First time poster here so I hope I haven't messed my post up...

I am currently using Sharepoint at work with a third party web part that utilises CAML for queries. things so far have been going well until I ran into my latest problem which I cannot solve and hope that someone out there could lend some assistance.

Requirement is:

"Action 1 due date" to be less than "Today" AND the Status not equal to "Completed"

OR "Action 2 due date" to be less than "Today" AND the Status not equal to "Completed"

This pattern will carry on for all four actions. I can get it to partially work but it seems to disregard the Or clause.

Thank you all in adavance.

<Query>
    <Where><And><Or><And><Or><And><Or><And><Lt><FieldRef Name="Action One Due Date" />
        <Value Type="DateTime">
            <Today/></Value></Lt>
                <Neq><FieldRef Name="Action One Status" />
                <Value Type="Text">Completed</Value></Neq>
    </And><Lt><FieldRef Name="Action Two Due Date" />
    <Value Type="DateTime">
        <Today/></Value></Lt></Or><Neq><FieldRef Name="Action Two Status" />
            <Value Type="Text">Completed</Value></Neq></And><Lt><FieldRef Name="Action Three Due Date" />
                <Value Type="DateTime">
                    <Today/></Value></Lt></Or><Neq><FieldRef Name="Action Three Status" />
    <Value Type="Text">Completed</Value></Neq></And><Lt><FieldRef Name="Action Four Due Date" />
        <Value Type="DateTime">
            <Today/></Value></Lt></Or><Neq><FieldRef Name="Action Four Status" />
                <Value Type="Text">Completed</Value></Neq></And></Where></Query>

Hi,

I downloaded the CAML tool but am unable to use it because the CAML is referencing a list aggregation via a third party plugin (Bamboo Solutions Alerts Plus).

There is a CAML builder within the plugin which I use but it doesn't like the nested operators.

I do like the builder though for standard lists Smile | :)

Check if this would work:

<where>
<Or>
	<And>
		<Lt>
			<FieldRef Name='Action 1 due date' />
			<Value Type='Text'>Today</Value>
		</Lt>
	<And>

			<FieldRef Name='Status' />
			<Value Type='Text'>Completed</Value>
		</Neq>
	</And>
	</And>
	<Or>
	<And>
		<Lt>
			<FieldRef Name='Action 2 due date' />
			<Value Type='Text'>Today</Value>
		</Lt>
	<And>

Hi Manohar and others,

I ended up utilising the CAML builder and cleaned the query up in Notepad++.

I tested it and it works well but unfortunately I ran into another problem Frown | :(

If "Action One Due Date" is greater than today and status = "completed" it stops and doesn't continue on to the next actions to apply the rule. Is there a different way to go about this?

<Query>
    <Where>
        <And>
            <Lt>
            <FieldRef Name="Action One Due Date" />

Hi
I have an adf file (BDC model)uploaded in central admin. And now i am trying to access an entity with business data item webpart and in the tool pane, selected the entity and when trying to provide value to item, i am getting error.
When i checked in logs, i got the below error

Child TypeDescriptor with Name 'Rows' and Id '27822' exists at a path containing a TypeDescriptor with Name 'DataSet' and Id '27819', representing a Collection, which creates an ambiguity for reflection.

Please guide me on how i can proceed further. I am using webservice as datasource.

            </MethodInstances>

In the above code, i have not given the attribute returnTypeDescriptorName and ReturnTypeDescriptorLevel.
Giving the above parameters fixed the problem.

Display Resources in a Sharepoint Calendar

I'm trying to use a Sharepoint Calendar to track the availability of Meeting Rooms. I've added the list of rooms to the Resource list and I've created a Calendar list with the 'Use this calendar for Resource Reservation' option set to 'Yes'. The problem is, every time I load the page, I have to manually select and add the resources. Is there any way to make them appear by default? Also, how can I ensure that a booking made by Person A is not deleted by Person B?

I'm using Sharepoint 2010 Foundation.

Ingo25-Jul-13 0:00

First: I don't think you want a Dashboard or does the Server-Information changes every day? A dashboard is a normally grafical optimized output for displaying events and changes of data, a tool for displaying complex sets of indicators oder a set of controls with data and functionality.
So we speak of an information output not a dashboard. Therefore a Site or a Webpart would be good. You can programm a WebPart with VS.Net and display the Server Informations.

How to get Server-Informations?
You can use WMI (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa394587%28v=vs.85%29.aspx[^].
Take a look at google: WMI[^]

Okay, so this is breaking my brain.

I have developed a Sharepoint solution with about 15 webparts for a client.

This site has been up and running for about a year and a half, and so far all good.

They have a QA site and then a production site, but one heck of a timeline between deployments, so recently they have given me a "Test" server that I can deploy to whenever I want for interim testing purposes.

This too, was all good for about two months.

Then BAM, Sharepoint did its thing.

The site is an enterprise WIKI so we create and edit an publish article pages.

All of a sudden the "Edit Article" link is missing for me. But for me only. No one else.

I can go "Site Action >> edit page" but when I go into edit mode or type in the edit URL, then most of my functionality is disabled.

I am web admin.
I am site admin.
I have full control on the site itself.

Whaaaaat the heck?

Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

So far, the universe is winning.
