Content Type - ContentLink

We're currently encoutering an issue on our production servers with Office 2007 documents. In essence, the Content Type for all docx, xslx, and pptx documents cannot be changed away from the site default on all newly created sites.

I've even done some step by step debugging on an SPItem insert and I can set the content type to a custom type, but it reverts back to the site's default Content Type on Update(). Other file types - .doc, .xls, .tif, .txt, and .jpg - have all been tested, and all work as expected (the Content Type changes correctly).

Thanks in advance!

 

We are running WSS 3.0 SP2 on server 2003.  Recently, we lost the "Titles" for all content types for documents.  Our system Content Type for Document is set up to require this field to be completed on all documents that is uploaded.  Our system would automatically enter in by default the name of the document in the "Title" field it no longer does this for the user.  The user must now enter in manually the "Title".  How do I get it to enter in the "Title" using the document file name automatically?

Below is the way the setting page for Site Content Type: Document looks like.  (I tried to recreate it since I could place a screen shot in the box)

Site Content Type Information
Name:  Document
Descriptiong:  Create a new document.
Parent:  Item
Group:   Document Content Types

Settings
Name, Description, and group
Advanced settings
Workflow settings
Delete this site content type

Columns

Hello –

 

Overview – We are building a Mobile Web Site using SharePoint 2007. The big screen site has been already built and we need to integrate the mobile site into same site collection of big screen –

 

·         The Mobile site will use the existing content types of existing big screen site

·         We will build a new custom Master page

I am trying to deploy two custom list definitions using only one single feature.  Below are the details of my issue.

• Two custom list definitions
• Each custom list definition has its own custom content type
• Each custom content type inherits from the base content type Picture (Type = 109)
• The custom list definitions are grouped together under one single feature
• The custom content types are grouped together under a seperate single feature

When I deploy my solution in this configuration, the second list definition gets the first custom content type applied to it and the list schema from the first list definition is also applied to the second list definition.

What makes this more interesting, when I seperate both of the list definitions under two seperate features it all works fine.  Custom content types and list schemas get applied correctly.

Can anyone tell me why I can not deploy both list definitions under one single feature?

If you need me to post any of the origional code or XML to this post please let me know.

I have created a blank web part page and added a data view for my selected list in which I have enabled the insert/edit/delete options.  In that data view I have included the content type field (my list has 3 content types).  I am using JavaScript to set some fields defaults and to hide those fields, one being the content type field.  All seems to work correctly when submittin a new entry except that each item I save is always saved as the 1st content type.  I have tried inserting a new item without any JavaScript and have the same problem - no matter which content type I select from the drop-down list the item is always saved as the 1st content type.  Am I missing something here?  Surely I don't have to use the standard list form to insert new items into my list as I need to be able to control the user's interaction using the options available in the data view.

SharePoint Server 2007, SPD 2007, both SP2.

Thanks for any insight!

Hello all

I have same content types in both collboration site and record center sites.

When I used Send To command to send a document from collaboration area to record center, all the properties and metadata are promoted to columns in the Record center library. But the Content type of the document in record center is set to "Document" even though the incoming document's metadata has Content type value. Will all the records end up as Document content type if we are using default router?

Thanks

1/ Add a new document into Shared Document library. 2/ In Shared Document of this workspace, add new content type having 12 lookup columns. 3/ Create a new workspace 4/ Add a user into the workspace with the editable permission (Contribute or Full Control). 5/ Open the document in Word 2007, in the Document Management Pane Using system account: the document is shown in the Document tab. Using normal account: the document is not shown in the Document tab. 6/ If we use Dws.GetDwsMetaData method to get information of the workspace site and lists it contains then:    + Using system account credential, this method returns the document's information in Shared Document library. The result contains the below xml data: <List Name="Documents"> <ID>{CFEDFC3C-2AD3-4A0E-88B6-821BF57CACDB}</ID> <z:row ows_FileRef="Shared Documents/Test Content Type.docx" ows_FSObjType="0" ows_Created="2010-09-01T02:38:31Z" ows_Author="1073741823;#System Account" ows_Modified="2010-09-01T02:38:31Z" ows_Editor="1073741823;#System Account" ows_ID="1" ows_ProgID="" xmlns:z="#RowsetSchema" /> </List>     + Using the normal user credential, this method does not return the document information in Shared Document library.

We have a Pages library (wiki) which supports a few content types (and page layout associated). We want to enable users to click a button for example of "new custom enterprise wiki page" - so a new page of content type article will be open in edit mode. Can someone help how to develop? (it has to mimic the behavior that happens when user creates new page from the Ribbon or Site actions and has to choose the content type, it also has to keep the new page in edit mode and not just create it).
