I have Laconica (self hosted twitter ) configured on my local intranet and would like to integrate the public stream into SharePoint site with a web part. How can I do this? spoon16 You can point an RSS Viewer web part at the laconi.ca public stream RSS feed and use this XSLT to ensure attractive output.

Is there any way to get the directory path of the 12 Hive programmatically? I am creating a feature which delivers a file to the XML directory in the 12 hive, and I don't want to hardcode the directory path in my code. Is there any Object Model property which exposes the 12 Hive directory path string as a property? You can use the Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtility.GetGenericSetupPath() method. See for more information the WSS SDK: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.utilities.sputility.getgenericsetuppath.aspx Why would you need to put xml files in the 12 hive?

What is the most reliable way to determine which version of SharePoint is installed. Whether it is WSS or MOSS. If MOSS, whether it is standard or enterprise. I want to programmatically detect the exact SharePoint version installed.. PS: I already have posted this question at SharePoint.SE but could not find a convincing answer. Rubens Farias You could try to use SPFarm.Local.BuildVersion or SPWebService.ContentService.Farm.BuildVersion (from this previous question ) and to build a lookup table based on this: How to find the level of SharePoint you are running? Another option is to read

We have an SP timer job that was running fine for quite a while. Recently the admins enlisted another server into the farm, and consequently SharePoint decided to start running this timer job on this other server. The problem is the server does not have all the dependencies installed (i.e., Oracle) on it and so the job is failing. I'm just looking for the path of least resistance here. My question is there a way to force a timer job to run on the server you want it to? [Edit] If I can do it through code that works for me. I just need to know what the API is to do this if one does exist. I

Situation: A custom "Master Document" content type inherits from Document The "Master Document" content type has five additional choice fields There are five custom "Document Template" content types that inherit from the "Master Document" content type Each of the "Document Template" content types uses a different Word document template (.dot) file Each of the "Document Template" content types have been added to a document library Problem: I click on a document in the library Document opens up in Word 2003 for me to edit I make some changes and save A box pops up called "Web File Properties".

In ASP.NET, the tilde (~) is treated as a token in URLs and treats paths prefixed with that as relative to the application root. This is well-known functionality. In MOSS, there are other tokens, such as ~sitecollection/mypath... which behaves in a similar way, but treats the path as relative to the site collection root. How is this accomplished? After a cursory search I could not find any info on how to add tokens like this to the .NET URL resolution mechanism. It may not be the only place, but SPUtility.GetServerRelativeUrlFromPrefixedUrl() will parse URLs with ~site and ~sitecollection.

I am trying to implement personalization (WebPartManager and WebParts) on ASP.NET application deployed to SharePoint as application pages (Separate application and aspx pages deployed to _layouts). I'd like to take advantage of SharePoint personalization provider, so I can just wire up the provider to WebPartManager in the ASP.NET application. However SharePoint seems to call SPRequest object to perform these tasks, and does not have a provider for personalization. The second option I tried was to use SharePoint WebPartManager on these pages but it does not seem to work because application

In SharePoint MOSS 2007, I have created a custom content type that I will be applying to a document library. One of the required fields is "Incoming Date" and another is the "Due Date". The Due Date is always 10 working days from the Incoming Date. The Incoming Date is when the mail room received the letter, not necessarily when the document is posted to the library. From here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb862071.aspx =DATE(YEAR([Incoming Date]),MONTH([Incoming Date]),DAY([Incoming Date])+10) adds 10 days, but how can I add 10 working days? I don't have the luxury of VS.NET either
