One of my team mates had a question whether we can add site collection Administrators to the site through object model.
Its fairly simple and easy.
code chunks:
****************************************************************************
SPSite _site = null;
SPUser user = null;
SPWeb _web = null;
try
{
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
_site = new SPSite("siteURL");
_web = _site.OpenWeb();
_web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
_web.SiteUsers.Add(@"mossbox\user1", "user1@email.com", "user1", "Added via object model");
_web.Update();
user = _web.SiteUsers[@"mossbox\user1"];
_site.SecondaryContact = user;
user.Update();
_web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
});
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error in Adding Site Collection Administrators " + ex.Message.ToString());
}
finally
{
if (_site != null)
{
_site.Dispose();
}
if (_web != null)
{
_web.Dispose();
}
}
}

Host ASP.NET UserControls in MOSS
I got an interesting change request from my client manager, where they want to host the ASP.NET user control as is in MOSS(This has DLL available). I googled around and found five different ways to do and one mukiway(my way)
1. Deploy the Usercontrol using Smart Part
2. Wrap the UserControl with webpart
3. Modify the UserControl as Webcontrol and deploy the control
4. Recreate this UserControl as new Webpart
5. Deploy this control into 12 hive controltemplates folder along with .cs file
Mukiway:
1. Copy the control and its files into _Layouts/MukiControl/
2. Create a test page in ASP.NET and host the UserControl in that test page
<% Register src="UserControl.ascx" tagname="mukicontrol" tagprefix="muki" %>
In the body tag
<muki:UserControl ID="UserControl" runat="server"/>
save this page as test.aspx
3. GAC the UserControl DLL
3. Mark that DLL as safe entry in web.config file of the hosting site collection
4. Perform IISReset.
5. Add a PageViewer Webpart
6. Select Web Page as option and in the URL field give /_Layouts/MukiControl/test.aspx
Cheers! you are done.

Prevent users from viewing Application Pages
As a part of security measure, we have been asked to restrict the people accessing the default application pages like /Forms/Allitems.aspx,/_layouts/mcontent.aspx, Userdisp.aspx.
I ve heard about viewlockdownfeature but also heard that there are some issues with that. So I thought we can do this task by a custom http handler.
In order to make this handler configurable instead of hardcoding the URL's I made an entry in node of web.config file and redirect those URL's to desired page.
The code for Http Handler goes like this :
******************************************************************
// Description:
// This HTTP handler redirects the Application pages to desired page defined in <AppSettings>node in web.config file

Restrict access to MOSS Web Services
As a part of Security measure, we need to block the access to MOSS Web Services.
Every MOSS Developer knows how to access the exposed web services of MOSS.
http://servername/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx ...
This would open up the entire webservice and available methods in that.
In order to restrict that we can add an entry in web.config file of that Site Collections web application.
Add the following block
<location path="_vti_bin">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="mossserver\Myuser" />
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
Its blocked!! Right?

*** But beware, you cannot open the Site in SharePoint designer if you block webservices for all users. So please allow atleast one account for accessing webservices.**
Restrict Access to MOSS Customizations
If we need to make sure that a user is logged in before accessing our customizations in MOSS and then redirected back after login, I found a inbuilt way
Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtility.EnsureAuthentication();
This will redirect unauthenticated users to the login screen and show users access denied screens if applicable.
It's that simple.

Enable SSL for selected Pages in MOSS
An article on automatically switching between HTTP and HTTPS protocols without hard-coding absolute URLs
I came across a change request of my client who wants to enable SSL on selected pages in MOSS site collection. we all know that we can create SSL enabled web application from scratch. But here the requirement is unique and client requirement says he should be able to Enable SSL on pages of his choice. So it should be configurable and at same time we should be able to maintain session state across http and https. Amazingly MOSS has that ability to support session state when switching across HTTP and HTTPS. I followed the steps below and was able to achieve result
1) Wrote a custom HTTP handler which redirects http to https for selected pages.
2) The page list is read from web.config file.

we can add as many pages we need for this. All these pages would be SSL enabled.
6)Now come to IIS-->WebApplication which needs SSL enabling for selected pages
7)Navigate to Properties--Directory Settings--Secure Communications--Server Certificate-->Assign the existing certificate.
More Details on SSL enabling
8)Assign port 443 for SSL ( we can choose port of our choice, but we should be aware that 443, 80 doesnt require ports to be mentioned in URL, otherwise we have to tweak our code settings to read through those ports)
9)Please be sure that in Directory settings-->SecureCommunications-->Edit-->Require Secure Channel is NOT SELECTED.
10)Now come back to Central Administration-->Operations-->Alternate Access Mappings
11)Add the new URL via internal URL's link.
https://servername//.
12)Perform IISReset-->Now Browse Application..
we can see our selected pages(as specified in web.config) are over SSL mode and the rest are under normal HTTP.

Debugging in MOSS application
If you're building a new Web Part, in order to debug it,
1)You have to manually attach the Visual Studio debugger to the W3SVC.EXE process
2)Select Debug -> Attached to Process...
3)And then selecting one or more instances of the W3SVC.EXE process, and click Attach.
Some times this throws error message saying "Cannot load symbols" and our code lines are not hit by debugger.
Then in that case we have to point the debugger to symbols in following way.
1)Copy the PDB file we have with our application and move to put the debugging symbols in the same location as the assembly.
2)Start » Run then type in run command prompt "%systemroot%\assembly\gac "
This will open the GAC folder. Now select your file of choice which is in following format
[assembly file name -.DLL extention]\[assembly version in format of #.#.#.#]__[assembly public key token].
3)Copy the PDB file to that folder and then attach the debugger.

How to redirect the user from userdisplay page to MySite page
Today I came across a strange request from client. They want the users to be redirected to My Profile page of MySite of individual users when they click on user name.
Eg:Contact : abc. Clicking on abc should be redirected to abc profile page instead of regular MOSS page http://servername/userdisp.aspx.
I found a way for this after some explore:
1. Go to Site Actions--Site Settings
2. Go to PortalConnections under Site Collection Administration tab.
3. Give the URL like http://URL of Mysite/personal.aspx.
you are done.
pretty simple right?

Tips & Tricks for using STSADM command
To save the output of STSADM Command into a text file use the following :
eg:stsadm -o addsolution -filename MySoln.wsp >>output.txt 2>&1
(Dont remove 2>&1--these are standard dos error handlers.)
If we are using -immediate or -time or -local (Asynchronous commands) with STSADM command, then next STSADM command would fail. Like:
stsadm -o retractsolution -name Mysolution.wsp -immediate
stsadm -o deletesolution -name Mysolution.wsp
The second command should execute after the first command has executed completely. But here it would fail.In order to avoid that we have two solutions
Solution One:
echo some text pause
Solution Two:
Execadmsvcjobs command.But this should be used very carefully because it would execute all the administrative jobs immediately
eg:stsadm -o addsolution -filename MySoln.wsp >>output.txt 2>&1
(Dont remove 2>&1--these are standard dos error handlers.)

How to avoid your MOSS WebSite Breaking
Very often we work with with various groups such as Web designers or content authors who are working on different aspects of a Web site. With so many groups working simultaneously, you are probably worried that somebody might inadvertently break a site — for example, by changing the design of the home page, modifying the style sheet, saving files in a wrong location, or breaking the site navigation or search functionality. If you are concerned, then I have a good news, We can avoid these scenarios by using Contributor Settings to turn on and configure Contributor mode in Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007.
Let us see what are these Contributor groups and how they are related to MOSS/SPD.
1. Contributor mode is enabled by default, and there is no required setup for the site manager or administrator. Only an administrator can turn Contributor mode on or off.
2.With Contributor Settings, a site manager can define Contributor groups in an organization, and then define exactly what tasks they can or cannot do in Office SharePoint Designer 2007.
3.This means that you can use the Contributor Settings to set different editing restrictions for different groups.
The features that you can access in Office SharePoint Designer 2007 depend on your role in the organization. See the following table for more details.

your role in the organization.
If you are a Site Manager
If your SharePoint permission level gives you full control, you can:
If you are User such as a Web Designer or a Content Author (or any restricted user)
Depending on the editing restrictions for your Contributor group, you can:
Contributor Settings is not a security feature
Important
1)Contributor Settings is not a security feature. Contributor mode is a limited access mode for users who open and edit SharePoint sites in Office SharePoint Designer 2007.
2)Contributor mode is designed to be used in an environment where site managers are confident of their users’ intentions.
3)Contributor mode helps to guide users in a particular direction to carry out their tasks, and this guidance prevents accidental changes to the Web site.

3.This means that you can use the Contributor Settings to set different editing restrictions for different groups.
- For example, you can allow Web designers to create new styles but restrict content authors from doing the same.
- Or you can allow content authors to create new pages from a master page but restrict the same for a different group.
- Site managers can configure Contributor groups so that users have access to only those commands and features in Office SharePoint Designer 2007 that they need to complete their tasks.

If you are a Site Manager
If your SharePoint permission level gives you full control, you can:
- Create Contributor groups and assign them editing restrictions.
Insert content regions on a master page and specify the type of content that is allowed in that region. - Restrict areas outside of content regions on a master page from being edited.
Control how and what types of pages are created and where content is saved. - Prevent users from modifying the default home page, master page, or any other page included in the site definition.
- Allow full, unrestricted use of Office SharePoint Designer 2007 to only the groups you choose.
If you are User such as a Web Designer or a Content Author (or any restricted user)
Depending on the editing restrictions for your Contributor group, you can:
- Create new pages
- Apply styles and formatting to existing pages.
- Insert images and media files
- Work with SharePoint content such as Web Parts and Data Views

Creating Page Layouts
STEPS TO CREATE PAGE LAYOUTS
1#.Page layouts are templates that define content structure for a page and are always associated with a content type.
2#.A content type contains a document template, data columns, workflows, and other information that completely define a document.
3#.The publishing feature of MOSS uses a single root content type for publishing called Page.
4#.All of the page layouts inherit from this base. Here’s how to create a new page layout in MOSS.
STEP 1: Define Site Columns
The individual content elements that appear in a page layout are derived from site columns. When you create a page layout, you can use any of the site columns already defined or define your own.
STEP 2: Define a Content Type
Page layouts have a direct relationship to a content type defined within the site. The content type is a collection of site columns, a page template, workflows, and other information that determine the appearance and behavior of a page layout. In order to create a page layout, you must create a new content type that derives from the existing Page content type. Inheriting the Page content type allows the new page layout to function correctly within the MOSS content management Feature.
STEP 3: Create the Page Layout
Page layouts are stored in Master Page and Page Layout Gallery. From this gallery, you can create a new page layout and associate it with a content type.This process makes the site columns that are defined for the content type available to the page layout as field controls that you can place on the page with the SharePoint Designer.
STEP 4: Edit the Page Layout in SharePoint Designer
Once you have created the new page layout, you must open it in the SharePoint Designer so that you can add the desired field controls. The site columns you defined as part of the content type become available in the SharePoint Designer as field controls that you can place on the page layout.
STEP 5: Publish the New Page Layout
Once the page layout is created, you must publish and approve it so that it becomes available for content authors. This process is essentially the same as publishing any item in MOSS. First the document is checked in, then it is published, and finally it is approved.
STEP 6: Create a New Page
Once the page layout is published and approved, content authors may use it to create new pages. This is done in the normal way by selecting the Create Page item from the Site Actions menu. After the page is created, the field controls may be edited to develop the actual page content.

Preparing a WSP to deploy a webpart as a feature
Steps in creating a WSP
1. After the webpart is built and compiled.
2. Create a folder "Deployment"
3.Prepare manifest.xml with the following content
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Solution xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

<FeatureManifests>
<FeatureManifest Location="MyWebPart9\feature.xml" />
</FeatureManifests>
<Assemblies>
<Assembly Location="MyWebPart9.dll" DeploymentTarget="GlobalAssemblyCache">
<SafeControls>
<SafeControl Assembly="MyWebPart9, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=72d040bf09bc4e29" Namespace="MyWebPart9" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />

</Resources>
</Solution>
4.Create folder "MyWebPart9"in Deployment folder -- this should have same name as webpart file.
(Deployment folder should contain the DLL)
5.Prepare feature.xml in same folder with following content
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
