Connecting the CQWP without changing ItemStyle.xsl
Reading over Liam's post on a good tip for using the Content Query Web Part (CQWP) to connect your XSLT styles by putting a reference in the ItemStyle.xsl file is a good idea, but it still modifies the Out of the Box (OOB) ItemStyle.xsl. In many cases, in large companies you can't change the OOB fi (Read More...)

Crack the Code - SharePoint Designer Webinar

Rather than attempt to re-craft the descriptive text, check out what the Intellinet marketing department (Rebecka, Laura, Alysha, et al.) put together.

SharePoint 2003 flashback - create and deploy CAB files
I really am only posting this so I don't forget again. 2003 doesn't have solutions and features so I couldn't remember how to deploy the SPS 2003 web part code I'd fixed. If you have a CAB file and need to deploy it, use the STSADM AddWpPack command. I'd detail everything for you, but this guy alr (Read More...)

Strange Problems with a mysteriously corrupted list
I've got some custom code which looks at a SharePoint list for data which it renders to the screen. Of course, I used the delegate controls mechanism to put the control in question on the masterpage, so it basically shows up on every page in my publishing site. Notable exceptions include the admin (Read More...)

When deploying code, please use Solution Packages for both our sakes
This morning I spent another 30 minutes trying to figure out why my solution package wasn't deploying correctly. Oh, the deployment would report success. No errors in the Central Admin UI or in the error logs, but several of the files on disk were not getting replaced. Turns out that the problem (Read More...)
