YASR: RSS In SharePoint 2007
RSS feeds are great to keep you up to date without the hassle to go and look if information is updated; the new/updated stuff is pushed towards you. In the previous version of SharePoint, there was no support for RSS feeds out of the box. Although it’s possible to add RSS functionality to SharePoint 2003 by installing add-ons, it’s not very straight forward. Luckily in the new SharePoint 2007 RSS feeds are available, and the good news is: it’s enabled by default! When you navigate to a list or document library, you can select the View RSS Feed item from the Actions menu.

Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007 Beta 2 Trial Period Expired
I noticed that I get lots of hits on my blog from people that are receiveing the message "Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007 Beta 2 Trial Period Expired" when they install MOSS 2007 on a domain controller. I know the solution has been blogged by other persons, but for the people that ended up on my blog (like you?): you need to download and install the following file:

Contributor Settings in SharePoint Designer
When you install Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS 2007), out-of-the box the Contributor Settings will be enabled on your site(s). You will notice this in the SharePoint Designer task pane. By default your account will (probably?) be in the Content Authors group, wich may “restrict the use of some features” as the task pane mentions.

Where did Workflow go In SharePoint Designer Beta2?
If you have installed Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS 2007) in the “Beta-2-has-been-released-yeah!” rush and didn’t read any documentation or didn’t watch any webcast, you’ll probably notice that some items have moved compared to Beta 1 and Beta 1TR. I “lost” the menu item in the SharePoint Designer that opened the wizard to create a new workflow. After a couple of minutes I discovered the new location, so let me share that with you. First of all: open the site on which you’d like to create to workflow in SharePoint Designer (File menu, Open Site). Next, in the File menu, click New and select Workflow. Tadaaa!

SharePoint Lifesaver
I love reading SmartPart success stories! Matt Ranlett has a nice one: "So I've just wrapped up a quick little demo of how easy it is to code for SharePoint. Since the focus is on easy, and they're not yet 100% sure if we'd be using SharePoint vs a make-your-own ASP.Net 2.0 site, I decided the best way to go is to use the SmartPart and show off how you can write normal old ASP.Net code and still get it to show up in SharePoint. Since we're thinking about an ASP.NET 2.0 site and everyone wants to write ASP.NET 2.0 code, I really had to use the Son of SmartPart, which includes the ability to display 2.0 User Controls and 2.0 Web Parts in SharePoint. Since this is only a demo, I knocked up a quick little user control that replicates a report we have here. To get SoSmartPart to "see" a user control, all you have to do is drop the .ascx into a UserControl directory on your SharePoint server. I did that and PRESTO! My control shows up in the list of available user controls in the SmartPart toolbox area. I select the desired control and hit Apply. BAM - error.

2007 Microsoft Office System Beta 2 available "in the next week or two"
Thanks to Maurice we know that WSSv3 has been signed off Beta 2 last Monday. Also the last few days quite some Microsoft guys and girls have been raving about the fact that Word 2007 Beta 2 can be used to create blog posts. So the whole SharePoint and Office community is holding their breath for the moment Beta 2 will be available to download. Officially there is no fixed date but Don (another MS employee) gives us another hint (and I quote): "This is in Beta 2 which will be available externally in the next week or two". Let's hope this information is accurate! :-)
