List the Blogs on Bloggers.Com

Hi,
Many people write there blogs such as Sharepoint Blog, ASP.Net Blog, and others. Sometimes it is difficult to remember those blog names. So google provides the API for this.

It will provide Owner Name, Link to profile and list of all the blogs that owner has.



If you wants to try this yourself use the following Script.


<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("gdata", "1.x", { packages : ["blogger"] });
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">

function _run()
{
/* Retrieve a list of blogs */
// Obtain a reference to the 'content' div
var content = document.getElementById('content');

// Create the blogger service object
var bloggerService = new google.gdata.blogger.BloggerService('com.appspot.interactivesampler');

// The default "metafeed" feed is used to retrieve a list of blogs for a particular logged-in user.

// The ID included in this URI can be retrieved from the <link rel="me"> element in the Blog's HTML source

// Hightlighted ID has to be changed as per the blog.
var feedUri = 'http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16112369086732751558/blogs';

// The callback method invoked when getBlogFeed() returns feed data
var handleBlogFeed = function(blogFeedRoot) {

// Display Blogger Profile data
var author = blogFeedRoot.feed.getAuthors();
var authorName = author[0].getName().getValue();
var authorUri = author[0].getUri().getValue();

// This variable will buffer HTML output until execution is complete
var html = '<h1>Blogger User</h1>'
+ '<h2>Profile Information</h2>'
+ '<dl>'
+ '<dt>Profile Name:</dt>'
+ '<dd>' + authorName + '</dd>'
+ '<dt>Profile Name:</dt>'
+ '<dd><a href="' + authorUri + '">' + authorUri + '</a></dd>';

// Fetch blogs associated with this Blogger Profile

html += '<h2>Blog List</h2>';
var blogEntries = blogFeedRoot.feed.getEntries();

// Has the user created any blogs?

if(!blogEntries.length)
{
html += '<p>First <a href="http://www.blogger.com" '
+ 'target="_blank">create a blog</a>.</p>';
}
else
{
// Print list of blogs
html += '<table rules="groups">'
+ '<thead><tr>'
+ '<th>Blog Name/Link</th><th>Last Updated</th>'
+ '</tr></thead>'
+ '<tbody>';

for (var i = 0, blogEntry; blogEntry = blogEntries[i]; i++)
{
var blogTitle = blogEntry.getTitle().getText();
var blogURL = blogEntry.getHtmlLink().getHref();
var blogUpdated = blogEntry.getUpdated().getValue().getDate();
html += '<tr>'
+ '<td><a href="' + blogURL + '" target="_blank">'

};

// Output buffered HTML and clear 'Loading...' messagecontent.innerHTML = html;
};

// Error handler called when getBlogFeed() produces an error
var handleError = function(error)
{
content.innerHTML = '<pre>' + error + '</pre>';
};

// Submit the request using the blogger service object
bloggerService.getBlogFeed(feedUri, handleBlogFeed, handleError);

}
google.setOnLoadCallback(_run);

Deploying Web Parts in Windows SharePoint Services

Windows SharePoint Services requires that a Web Part be deployed in the Web Part gallery before it can be added to the page. This section describes differences between the bin folder and the Global Assembly Cache (GAC), security permissions considerations, how to strong name an assembly for deployment.

Deployment Considerations :

There are two primary locations within a SharePoint site where you can deploy a Web Part assembly.

1) bin directory — The bin directory is a folder stored in your Web application root directory. The location of this folder is determined when the Web site is created in Internet Information Services (IIS). In Windows SharePoint Services, this can happen either through the SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration site, or by manually creating a new Web site in IIS manager.

Important: If a bin directory does not exist you must add one manually. Do not store Web Parts in the local _app_bin directory, which is reserved for use by Microsoft.
For more information, see How to: Find the Web Application Root

2) global assembly cache — A global location where signed assemblies can be deployed. The global assembly cache enables you to share assemblies across numerous applications. The global assembly cache is automatically installed with the .NET runtime. Components are typically stored in C:\WINNT\Assembly.

Each location has advantages and disadvantages, as described as the following

1) bin directory :

Advantages : Assemblies run with partial trust, by default. Code that runs from this directory has a low level of code access security (CAS) permissions. Because administrators must explicitly raise permissions that have been granted to a Web Part so it can function properly, they often prefer that assemblies run in the bin directory with a known set of required CAS permissions.A bin directory is specific to a Web application. This makes it possible to isolate code to a particular Web application.

Disadvantage : In order for the Web Part to run in multiple Web applications, you must deploy it to the global assembly cache.

2) global assembly cache :

Advantages : Assemblies run with full trust by default. They are globally installed, so they will work in any Web application. The global assembly cache can contain multiple versions of the same assembly.

Disadvantage : Generally no CAS restrictions on code installed to the global assembly cache; therefore, you lose the defense-in-depth security benefit.Also, an assembly deployed to the GAC is cached, so if the assembly is rebuilt, it is not automatically updated on the SharePoint site. You must force Windows SharePoint Services to reload the assembly by resetting Internet Information Services (IIS).

Security Permissions Considerations:

By default, code access security permissions for the bin directory are low; only pure execution is allowed. In most cases you need to elevate these permissions to make your assembly run correctly, for example, if your Web Part requires access to the SharePoint object model.
There are two ways to elevate permissions:

a) Recommended method — Create a new trust policy file and point your web.config file at the new file. This option is more complicated but it gives you a precise attribution of permissions for your Web Parts.
For more information about trust policy files, see Securing Web Parts in Windows SharePoint Services.

b) Optional method — Raise the net trust level of the bin directory. In the web.config file in the Web application root, there is a tag called with a default attribute of level="WSS_Minimal". You can change this level to WSS_Medium. While this option is simpler, it grants arbitrary new permissions that you might not need and is less secure than creating a new trust policy file.

Strong Naming a Web Part Assembly

Strong naming uses a private key to digitally sign an assembly. Strong naming also stamps the assembly with a public key to validate the signature. This technique guards against unauthorized versions of a Web Part. If the public key fails to validate the digital signature, Windows SharePoint Services will refuse to run the module.

When deploying a Web Part to the bin, the recommend practice is to strong name the assembly. When deploying a Web Part to the Global Assembly Cache, the assembly must have a strong name. An assembly without a strong name is not recommended in Windows SharePoint Services.

This article provides a detailed overview of the multilingual options and features available in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. It starts with the concepts and moves on with an illustration of how to actually create a complete multilingual site.

Step 1: Install the language files on all WFE Operating Systems

This step is necessary to install the language specific files for the operating system like the Keyboard files and fonts etc. For this, go to the Regional and Language Options in the Control Panel, in the Languages tab; add the necessary supplemental language support which installs the necessary files needed

For example, if you need to provide sites in Arabic, you need to select 'Install files for Complex Script and Right to Left Languages'

Step 2: Install Office SharePoint Server 2007

Disable the Source Menu Option in Internet Explorer

If you enable this policy, the Source command on the View menu will appear dimmed.

If you disable this policy or do not configure it, then users can view the HTML source of Web pages from the browser View menu.

Caution: This policy does not prevent users from viewing the HTML source of a Web page by right-clicking a Web page to open the shortcut menu, and then clicking View Source. To prevent users from viewing the HTML source of a Web page from the shortcut menu, set the "Disable context menu" policy, which disables the entire shortcut menu.

1) Type gpedit.msc in the Start menu’s search box and then press Enter.
Note: This guide shows you how to make changes to Windows 7 using Group Policy. Group Policy is not available in Home versions of Windows 7.

2)Navigate to User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Internet Explorer, and then select Browser menus in the left column of the Group Policy editor.

3) Double-click View menu: Disable Source menu option in the Settings section of the Group Policy editor.

4)Select Enable and then click OK to save the changes.

var IE = document.all?true:false

function moveL()
{
xv = tempX;
yv = tempY;
myimage.filters.light.MoveLight(1,xv,yv,s,true);
}

if (IE&&myimage.filters)
document.all.myimage.onmousemove = getMouseXY;
var tempX = 0
var tempY = 0

function getMouseXY(e)
{
tempX = event.offsetX
tempY = event.offsetY

Item-Level Auditing with SharePoint Server 2007

Many companies and government agencies have policies and regulations that require them to track carefully where and how users gain access to important records and documents. In particular, they need to maintain audit logs that detail events that track data such as which users viewed and updated records and documents, and when these events occurred. Now the solution is available with MOSS. Click here
