Wow! This is great! I'm looking forward to future posts on this topic as this has lead me to some great discoveries with SharePoint designer already! I'm hoping to be able to move some of my internal projects into SharePoint using something very similar to this!

So how much longer until part 2!?

Is there a way we can check the value of a Date Field to be null?

I have a column 'Date2' i want to send an email only if the 'Date2' field is null. If the Date2 field is not null i want to send another email.

Hi,

I want to know how "Budgeting and Tracking Multiple Projects" application template is developed. Especially, how on clicking a project, the issues or tasks related to the project are filtered by passing ID through URL as querystring.

Hi.

I've set up the Employee Training Scheduling and Materials template and I am trying to find out how an adminstrator can remove a student from the Course reagistration list. It seems that only the student himself can unregister from the course. Any suggestions?

I have downloaded the Training site app and need to know how to set the "Dates" up as reoccurring. We have in house managment training and they are on every other Thursday, can this be modified easily? Thanks, Newbie sharepoint admin

Matt Peden — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 18:54:46 GMT

To start I would like to see the answers to some of the question asked before, especially the question refering a teacher being able to remove a student from the class. Anyways I was wondering if it is possible to have a teacher sign up attendee's, maybe those that dont have access to a computer. I am very familiar with the SP Designer, and I have designed some custom web parts, workflow through Visual Studios 2005. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Matt

Hi,

I am so glad that I found this blog. I am currently working with "Employee Training Scheduling and Materials" template. Is there anyway I can change "Courses I am attending" to show the current course attended by every employee? Also same to "Courses I have attended" to show the all the courses attenended by every employee. I am trying to use template for monitoring purpose.

Can you also tell me what workflows are applied to this template? I want to know and amend bit to customise to our needs.

Thanks

Can you tell me how can change the date and time format of course to just date without times?

I don't know why some column items are not subject to edit.

Thx

Hi Sean,

I am using Cousre list(claendar list) having title,location,sdate, enddate and some more column.

I want to add one more column in this list i.e Businees unit dropdown column,but i tried lot to insert column but in vain. Again i tried through XSLT in SPD but no use, i am getting error. It's very mandatory for me to use one more column in that list(NewForm.aspx of Cource list) to fulfill my requriment.

Please tell me, how can i overcome this problem.

(Template: Employee Training Scheduling & Materials)

Thanks in advance

Vishan — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 14:45:09 GMT

Hi arun... I had the same problem.. i couldnt edit the Emp Training site at all... So i managed to create a replica site.... I dont this it is possible at all to modify this site.

You might be able to do some modifying in SharePoint Designer, but not in SharePoint it self.. In In sharepoint designer, go to Insert...SharePoint Controls..........then Custom List Form.... this allows you to edit any Display Form, EditForm or NewForm..

Alternatively.. join up to the SharePoint User Group UK.... I have a few blogs on there if you are interested, and there are some really helpful people on tehre aswell..

re: Training Site Template - Part 1: Introduction

arun — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 07:05:28 GMT

Thanks Vishan,

I tried lots to add columns but in vein.so aim searching for other options.

Can u tell me how you resolved that issue.

Thanks & Regards

arun

re: Training Site Template - Part 1: Introduction

vishan — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 14:13:06 GMT

Arun..... you cant edit that training site, its copyrighted or proteced.

I managed to create a list that copied item to another list and make it work that way, its not the same thing, but for what i wanted .... its ok!. lol

Do you ahve sharepoint designer 2007...?., i managed to create something similar to that site, but not quite exactly the same... I need to know how to decrement the number each time a course is enrolled etc, but im still working on it...

There is an interesting blog on teh sharepoint user group UK.

What i did was create a custom list (called e.g. LIST 1) with the colomns that i needed, then attahed a "Copy list item" workflow to that list.. so whenever someone fills in that list.... all the items are copied to another list (CALLED LIST 2)

then in sharepoint designer, open up list 2, locate the newform.aspx page, and insert...sharepoint controls... then custome list form and insert list 1 into list 2 as newforms.aspx.

that will then display all items

Sorry arun, that probably dont make sense.... but you should give it ago... and read up on the blogs on Shareuser groupUK

Thanks.

Hi Arun and Vishan

I had the same problem and i found the solution in the link below.

It all has to do with content types....

Training Site Template: Part 3 - Custom Views and Forms

Microsoft SharePoint Designer Team Blog — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 10:10:05 GMT

Hi everyone, This is Sean (I know, finally!), blogging to you with the next part of the training site

re: Training Site Template - Part 1: Introduction

spdblog — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 10:43:40 GMT

Sorry for the lengthy delay on replies, hopefully some folks browsing these comments will find this useful.

Handaman: you should be able to set this up using the Compare list field condition, just use the column you added as the date. If you're having trouble, try setting it to some minimum date you can control that wouldn't be used, ex. 1/2/1934.

Yannis: you'll probably want to re-enable the edit view for admins - did you try removing item-level permissions in the Registrations list (List Settings > Advanced Settings)? Part 3 has some suggestions on how to accomplish this.

jwillman: just make use of the 'recurrence' field - it's hidden on the views and forms because of the way the DataFormWebPart was placed on those pages. To unhide it, remove the style='display: none' attribute from the relevant <tr> tags - also covered in Part 3.

Matt: this will probably require re-architecting the template a bit, since the items in the Registrations list are keyed off of the Created By field, a system field you can't arbitrarily set. One ide would be to add a new column to the Registrations list, and set it by default to Created By, but give admins a security-trimmed data form (try using the ddwrt IfHasRights function) that allows access to that field.

S Lim: I'll try to cover this in part 4, basically you just need to change the filter criteria for that DataFormWebPart and remove the condition that checks Created By == [Current User] for the items in Registrations. Also, more details about the workflows in the template are available in part 2 of this series.

Vishan: check out part 3 for some information about the 'hidden' fields in the default forms, and an explanation of how the DataFormWebPart used in each page is not schema agnostic. Also, the workflow logic for seating is covered in part 2.

Neo: from the calendar view of the Courses list, click Actions > Connect to Outlook, then confirm in the dialog that appears.

Thanks,
Sean

Hi there Sean

I have a few questions for you?

1. Make a field so that it cannot be altered (the name of an uploaded file)

2. Remove the Title Column or make it a mandatory field

3. Add a link to a choice of a drop down to then load another filed once this choice is selected.

Thanks

If a person registers for a course and their name contains an apostrophe (O'Cain), their name doesn't show up in the list "Courses I Am Attending". They do get added to the Registration List however. Any thoughts?

Hello...we have been using this site out of the box, but with all of our training classes posted. Up until yesterday, names of the people who have signed up were listed under the course description. I have tried everything to try and figure out why it is no longer showing up. We are also not able to unregister classes. Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. We are using Share Point Services 2003...

When I save a site as template as "test" - it showed up under Custom tab in Template selection. How can I remove custom site templates from the Custom tab as I tried to use stsadm -o deletetemplate -title "test" and it said it could not find that template.

When I use Sharepoint Designer 2007 - "test" template showed up as Sharepoint Template when browsing.

Any idea?

O'Crud!!! (That's not really the word I want to use, but close.)

Thank you Jeanine for bringing up the apostrophe issue. I just happen to be THE sharepoint admin for our co, and have been trying all freakin' day to figure out why "my courses" doesn't work. I've been fiddling with SPD and reading everywhere ...

As my Irish luck would have it, I happen to be an O'User.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

SharePoint will be great once it gets out of O'Beta

The traiining app is great. I am trying to change the courses list so that course title and course description are lookups to a new list called inventory. this would allow me to have one list with about 10 classes that we offer every other month. so courses would have each offering. and inventory would have the standard list.

What can I do to turn these fields into references linked to the new list of inventory for classe?

Thanks.
