Categorizing posts with keywords is not new. There are solutions which create a new column for your blog, where you can define categories.
My Webpart will look in your posts for Technorati links. Many posts are tagged with Technorati links, so that you can look for a tag, and find posts on many blogs for this tag.
You can create Technorati links with the Live Writer, if you want to blog with it.
As Jeremy Sublett wrote in his post Getting Date Information From Photos in SharePoint it would be great if SharePoint would respect the Exif data from a picture uploaded to a picture library. So I took his solution as starting point to wrap this functionality into a feature, which can be configured for each picture library.
So what does it do?
The “Date Picture Taken” value will be used from the Exif data of a picture after it has been uploaded.
You have developed a Webpart or some other program, and want the user to be able to check for updates?
In my case I want the user to check for updates for my Webparts.
If you click the “Check for updates” Button in the Webpart properties, the latest version from will be shown.
Set up an “Updates” list
To find the latest version, I have set up a SharePoint list with two fields.
It is a annoying that RSS feeds do not display images correctly, if your feedreader is offline. The problem is, that the links generated by the SharePoint RSS feed api returns relative links instead of absolute links.
But there is a solution: –> Images Broken When Viewing Windows SharePoint Services RSS Feeds in Outlook
Here is a small update if you want to make a regular link absolute as well:
Your custom field type can be added to a list in a browser easily. But how do you add a custom field type via code?
Here is my way:
add a new field with the field type from which your custom field type derived change the field type of the new field to your own custom field type In my case my custom field type derived from a SPFieldLookup. 1: // create new lookup field <pre><font size=2><span class=lnum> 2: </span><span class=kwrd>string</span> newFieldName = fields.
Do you have comments on your SharePoint blog activated? Anonymous users may leave comments which you have to approve for them to show up? Good.
The problem is that there are plenty spam posts which I don’t want to sort out manually.
Here comes my solution:
The RH.NoBlogCommentSpam SharePoint solution.
What does it do? Approve comments from non anonymous users (you can decide if logged in users, may post links) Recycle posts with comments in the subject / body (you can decide) Approve comments from anonymous if they do not contain links Requirements make sure you read them carefully!
Since so many people asked for support to upload documents as well, I have implemented this functionality into my WikiWebpart. Now you can add pictures and files directly into your wiki by uploading them from the clients.
As always, you have to install the solution, and activate the WikiWebpart feature for you Sitecollection as described in Updated WikiWebpart + Tool to install it.
The Webpart will detect an existing picture and document library, and use it.
Sometimes even I forget what I have developed and blogged on my page. To give an overview I have created a page which lists all of them and helps you find what you want. You can find the overview of my developments here.
With this update the problem that SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser is sometimes null is solved. Additionally there are lots of information written to the ULS logs, if you have configured your farm to log information with the level “Monitorable”
