I’ve recently had a need to model a looping workflow with a SharePoint Designer workflow. Designer doesn’t have a ‘Start Workflow’ action available by default, so I installed the Useful SharePoint Designer Workflow Activities on Codeplex.
My workflow would be designed like this
Collect Data From Users with Task Form
Set Workflow Variable to Step 1 Task ID

Not only did DST rob me of an hour of sleep this weekend, it’s also slowing down my content deployment jobs! Thanks a lot, Benjamin Franklin!
This KB article seems to explain the problem as beeing that the OWSTIMER has its own clock which is separate from the system clock. I scheduled a job for 11:17am [...]

If you use the CssRegistration and CssLink controls on a SharePoint page, core.css is always added to the HTML page last. This means that any styles in core.css will override the styles you’ve defined in your custom stylesheets. Does this make sense?! No. But, like many other things in SharePoint, that’s the way it is.

While working on a client’s MOSS 2007 public web site, I noticed that none of the reports in the Site Content and Structure page were not working. (There were duplicates as well, which I fixed by simply deleting the duplicate items from the Content and Structure Reports list at the root level.) I would [...]

New versions of Visual Studio Extensions for Windows SharePoint Services and WSPBuilder were released within the last week. I’ve used WSPBuilder on many client projects. VSeWSS has been lacking in features and stability, but it seems like many of the kinks have been worked out in this final version. The most interesting new feature of VSeWSS is [...]
