SharePoint Services 2.0 SP3 Disaster (4)
April 8th, 2008 by Emil in General, Microsoft, Sharepoint 2003, Wordpress
If you have a SharePoint 2.0 server and you have installed SharePoint Services 2.0 SP3, you may have notices a few issues. Among the several issues with the service part there are two which stand out.
1. Data view web parts cause users with access to SharePoint sites to be denied access. When users attempt to access sites, they receive an authentication prompt, which fails after being filled out with correct information. The quick workaround for this issue is adding users to the local Administrators group. This was the best (so to speak) solution to this problem before a hotfix was released.
2. The edit in datasheet View feature in lists does not work correctly. It redirects the users back to the standard view. The fix for this issue was quickly released by the community, and later corrected by Microsoft via a hotfix. continue reading »
REPOST: Why I Went With WordPress vs. MovableType (0)
To be frank, I have attempted this whole blogging thing before, but I could never stick with it. In the past I have used WordPress (WP) exclusively as my blog publishing platform. I was reasonably happy with it. Everything worked reasonably well and the community was second to none. The only (sort of) negative thing in my view were the frequent updates. Now, don’t get me wrong; I like my software secure and fresh as much as the next guy, but the vulnerabilities kept being discovered and patches kept being made. I’m not really complaining, just noticing. I assume that some people may perceive frequent updates to be a bother. continue reading »
Hello, WordPress 2.5! (0)
March 29th, 2008 by Emil in Wordpress
While this wasn’t very surprising on the grand scheme of things, I was still a bit put off by the news when I read it in my favorite RSS software–NewsFire (Mac only).
That’s right, WordPress 2.5 is out and all the 2.5 RC2 testing I did was all for nothing but the fun of it. Great, I don’t mind!
Anyway, everything in yesterday’s post still applies. Keep in mind that wp-content is not to be deleted. In fact, if you somehow manage to delete it, make sure you restore it from backup before attempting the upgrade. If you accidentally delete your default theme, you will be greeted by the “white screen of death.” In order to remedy this, simply go into http://yourblog/wp-admin and select a different theme.
