Setting up a workflow for comments on a blog site

I created a blog site. Can I set up a workflow process for when a comment is created. The comment MUST be approved/declined before it is posted. Is this possible via the front end?

Thanks, Ninel

Thanks,

I just created a new Blog site in Sharepoint 2007, and set permisions to the users and admins.
Now, I have a question on how to set the post life time. Is there any setting to contral how many days that the posts can last in the blog? We want the post include the comments kept in the site for one month.

Please help.

Thanks.

We have a very simple workflow whereby an document placed in a public library (INBOX) is moved it to a private library (VERIFY) and then deleted. The workflow works correctly when someone who has access to the VERIFY library drops a record into the INBOX library.  However it does not work when the user does not have access to the VERIFY library.

I was told that I need to "set the AD group associated with a specific SharePoint workflow" but cannot find any reference to this in SPD.

Thanks.

 

Hello everybody,I faced a very weird behavior while creating a workflow in SPD against a Document Library.Here is the case:1- Create a document library in sharepoint site.2- Add a custom column of type DATE.3- Upload any document to the library4- Edit the item metadata and set the custom date field to any date you want.5- Now using sharepoint designer, create a very simple Workflow with only one action that updates the current item "Title" field to any value. (Note: In my case I set the workflow to start manually and not automatically)6- Save the workflow and then start it on the uploaded item.7- Now check the value of the date column after the workflow is finished.8- You will see that the Date field is Empty... (very weird)Notes:   1-This behavior will not appear on a standard list. it is only appearing in a Document library.  2- I am using WSS 3.0 SP2 + MOSS 2007 SP2. Also SharePoint designer 2007 SP2Did anyone face this situation and does it have a fix, or am I doing something wrong here... Please help.Regards,Maheed

We have created a simple team site and a block subsite.  When trying to edit the site permissions we see the following error.  Any ideas? When opening a blog site and clicking Site Actions - site permissions we received a new page with the following error: Error File Not Found Troubleshoot issue with Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation Correlation ID: 51b54786-f344-4474-b88e-3080c363693 Date and Time: 3/24/2010 3:03:38 PM

I am working on a project where the requirement is to have specific document content types.  I have therefore create a site columns feature which creates all my columns, I have a Site Contentypes feature which creates all my content type and I have list templates based on my content types.  I also have created a couple of Site definition features which create specific list instance based on my list template As part of my content types I have created a few Managed Metadata fields which I wanted to set defaults for on the creation of my sites.  I have therefore created a feature which is right at the end of the WebFeatures section in my ONET.xml.  This features enumerates through all lists, looking for specific column names(managed metadata columns) and looks to set these to specific values.  The code to set the default value on the field is: TaxonomyField documentCategoryField = (TaxonomyField)library.Fields["Document Category"]; if (documentCategoryTerm != null) { documentCategoryField.DefaultValue = documentLibraryDefault.ToString(); documentCategoryField.Update();                                                     }                         &n

I have defined a new master page and set it as default for the main site.  Any time I create a new subsite it does not apply the new master page and defaults back to the default.master.  The Site Master Page Settings shows this error. The site master page setting currently applied to this site is invalid. Please select a new master page and apply it The system master page setting currently applied to this site is invalid. Please select a new master page and apply it. Now if I select "Inherit site master page from parent of this site" and "Inherit system master page" and click ok the site will use the new master page and everything is fine.  There is only one modification to the master page that was done so I know the master page isn't invalid.  Does anyone know the answer other than recreating the new master page.

Hi all, I've been trying to comment in blogs created on My Site sites of other users in my SharePoint 2010 organization. But the only one allowed to comment a blog is the owner of the site. Does anyone knows how can I enable this option to other users? Thanks in advance for you help.

Is see that its possible to define Taxonomy term store via SharePoint main central  admin page. But when I try to add term store entries via a new site in the same collection ....  site setting -> Site Administration -> Term store management any new entries are not visible. That is to say when a user starts to enter a tag the helper dialog does not show any values added via the site but all values add via the central admin do appear. this seems like a bug and the is in RC1 or am I doing something wrong

Hello, Looking for help using a blog site I need to create sub-categories under Categories that are located  in the Quick Launch area and also be able to add to sub-categories when needed, plus click the sub-category and it will open the post under that sub-category. I hope that I am making sense.  Thank you so much, JAM

I have a SharePoint site on the cloud where I access it through a URL like this one; https://exampleemeamicrosoftonlinecom-1.sharepoint.emea.microsoftonline.com I can also edit the site with SharePoint Designer by pointing to the same URL. I'm at the stage in the project where I want to do some specific things so I am going to use Visual Studio, but I don't know how to set up Visual Studio with a cloud based SharePoint site? When I go to add a SharePoint site I get the following error; A SharePoint server is not installed on this computer. A SharePoint server must be installed to work with SharePoint projects. I also tried to add the URL as a server in Visual Studio but I get the error; Server name "https://exampleemeamicrosoftonlinecom-1.sharepoint.emea.microsoftonline.com" could not be found. Make sure the server name is correct. I have SharePoint Designer working with the SharePoint site, why won't Visual Studio work?  

I have pages within a site that use a query string to provide dynamic data to the user (http://<site>/pages/example.aspx?id=1). I can get the content source to index these dynamic pages only if I create a rule which sets the root site (http://<site>/*) to 'include complex urls' and 'crawl sharepoint content as http content'. This is NOT acceptable as changing the crawling protocol from SharePoint's to HTTP will prevent any metadata from being collected on the indexed items. The managed metadata feature is a critical component to our SharePoint applications. To dispel any wondering of whether or not this is simply a configuration error on my part refer to http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointsearch/thread/4ff26b26-84ab-4f5f-a14a-48ab7ec121d5 . The issue mentioned is my exact problem but the solution is unusable as I mentioned before. Keep in mind this is for an external publishing site and my search scope is being trimmed using content classes to only include documents/pages (STS_List_850 and STS_ListItem_DocumentLibrary). Creating a new web site content source and adding it to my scope presents 2 problems: duplicate content in scope and no content class defining it that I know of. What options do I have?

Hi all, I have my SqlServer 2005 database at a web host. I recently figured out how to set permissions for the stored procedures (see this link if you face the same problem: http://forums.asp.net/t/1600637.aspx) . Now I wonder: What permissions should I give the web site's visitors? In a stored procedure's Properties window, I have three availabale users, the db owner (the db name), "guest" and "public". My bet is on public.  As far as permission types go, I hev the following available: Alter, Control, Execute, Take Ownership, and View Definition. My guess is that the one of interest is Execute, correct?   In other words, should I set all stored procedures to Execute for public (not that I seem to have the permission to do that myself - I get an error message when I try to alter them)? If so, could I ask the web host to set them globally for me? Or should I only set stored procedure using UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE to Execute?   Thanks a lot for any replies, Pettrer
