To display HTML pages in Sharepoint (MOSS) using Content Editor webpart is a good solution, but its necessary to regard some issues.
Dont use URLs in the Rich Editor, because editor will transform reletive URLs in full qualified URLs, and this will mess with you website on the front end, that will be pointing to your authoring server.
Anchors (a tag in HTML) with Images doesnt work very well width the content deploy (CD), sometimes after deploy the anchor href attribute is pointing to the image URL.
MSTF solution to this last problem is easy, just edit the content in the front end, :S so why using CD ? oh well ...
In the last 10Th,12Th and 17Th of November, me and my colleague Fernando Reis, show three technical sessions about Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007 (MOSS) at Altior. In this sessions we try to aboard all aspects in the development of applications over Sharepoint 2007, including is installation, implement ion e deployment. In our first session we want to explain what MOSS is all about, what it offers, what services it includes, it's topologies, and Finlay how it is structured.
Also in this session we showed how the installation process is made and emphasises the principals aspects in that installation process such as, Shared Services Configuration and Search Configuration
After we give to know MOSS and how we can install it, in the second session we want to show how to create an Sharepoint Application end-to-end, starting to create an Sharepoint Application and by showing a Site Collection, we showed how to administrate those things and who we can implement User Controls and Web Parts into a Sharepoint site.
At the last session we finalize the implementation of a Sharepoint application, and show how we can configure the search using the MOSS object model.
After that we show the deployment process of an Sharepoint Application, and what worries we must have in this process. At the end of our meeting we demonstrate some differences between MOSS and other web content types such as OpenCMS , Joomla e LifeRay.
Finlay we tell what challenges does MOSS have in the future, and what share it has on the Enterprise Content Manage (ECM) market.
At last i want to give my tank you to Altior to make this event happen.
In a earlier project that i had worked, i used remote debugging, that work just fine, until the network policies were changes, and then it was extremely painful to make some kind of debugging, and i then i make use of the old fashion debug of using Response.Writeln(value to debug) orDebug.WriteLine(value to debug).
Today i found a hidden feature of the VS debugger, call "When Hit...". That feature gives the possibility to use breakpoints has run time markers to extract values.
After you select the breakpoint with right mouse click, a window appears so you can configure the behaviour of your breakpoint.
In the textbox Print a message we write the syntax of what we want the debugger to tell us, when he passes on that breakpoint. As an example on the output window will appear this messages if we configure the breakpoint as the window above.
Today i got a chalange to break trought, that was handling a Timeout on a Async Request, and i find out that the solution was in adding to the HTML source a Page Request Manager that validates if the request fall into a Timeout. Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(function (sender, args) {
if (args.get_error() && args.get_response().get_timedOut()) {
// Tratar o timeout
// colocar o errorHandled = true para evitar receber a popup gerada pela biblioteca de AJAX.
