I found your SharePoint blog on Google and wanted to ask you to review a new SharePoint WordPress theme we created at SharepointForMe.com. It’s styled to look just like SharePoint 2010. Please feel free to take a look at the demo at

http://www.sharepointforme.com/wordpress-templates/sharepointforme/

We know that there are a lot of SharePoint enthusiasts who read your blog and use WordPress to blog about SharePoint, so we thought it would be of use. We would love to see some blog posts about it, but any feedback on it is also appreciated. Have a great day!

I’m currently working on converting web parts created in SharePoint 2 to ver 3 here in the Philippines.

One of the web part is used for creating new item in the list. It can get the values of the fields either in an uncustomized or customized form. It also has an option of copying the new item to another list after the item is saved in the current list. Saving is done via coding and not using the standard sharepoint save toolbar.

This web part is working when used in the newform.aspx page. All expected features are working fine.
However, when you try to make a copy of this newform.aspx with web part included to a new file, then run that new copy, an unexpected error occurred.

I even attached the debugger into this process but to no avail. The error wont hook onto the breakpoint that I’ve set on the entry point for the web part.

So, I modified the web.config file to see the actual error sharepoint is giving me and this is what it says:

Server Error in ‘/’ Application.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

What I cant figure out is that all fields have a value and the code was able to reference it and yet there’s an issue of object reference not set to an instance..

I tried to limit the fields in the list and I’ve used single text, dateonly and datetime fields.

There was no problem if I leave the datetime field blank. The web part saves the new item as expected. Touching the datetime field will produce the error above.

So, I’d like to consult this with you if ever you’ve experience or know something that there’s an issue with using datetime field with web part. If so what’s the recommended solution.

Another odd thing about this is that sharepoint can save the new item if i remove the web part and I cant debug the error using this web part.

More power to you.

I was looking at your post on restore of sites showing as 0.

Scenario.:
WebApp1 – ( SiteColl1 uses SC1_DB content databases )

Now you backup SC1_DB and restore is again as SC2_DB.

Now you remove SC1_DB from SiteColl1. You will see SiteColl1 has 0 sites.

To correct it :
1. Do a “Remove Content DB ” of SC1_DM.
2. Do a “Remove Content DB ” of SC2_DM.
3. Now “Add Content DB” SC2_DB to WebApp1. You should be able to see all sites.

I forgot what I had mentioned about the Group Board Workspace to Matteo, do you have a link to the original discussion? Could you elaborate on which wizard you’re utilizing?

I am also useing the same Group Boad Workspace Template which you have suggested to Mattaeo, Rest of the things are working fine but the only problem is .. it is not generation mail to informe the attendees after finishing the wizard. I can set alerts which is firing the mail but this should be automatic after finishing the wizard insted of manually setting the alter for the same.

Please suggest and reply on this.

Kind Regards…
