Sharepoint 2010 : Adding chart

This web part must be download and install first to be use in Sharepoint 2010.
You can find the installer here:

http://www.amrein.com/apps/page.asp?Q=5749

And it is FREE!
If you are the administrator, you can download and install it by yourself. Otherwise, ask your web administrator instead :)

By the way, I have tried to use this feature.

If the feature has been installed in Sharepoint server, the feature will be in the web part list. So you just have to add the web part :)

The chart can extract data from the existing list in your site, or you add a new list.

Configure the setting in Miscellanous part when you edit the web part. If you configure it correctly, the chart will be shown at the web part zone as example below:

 Now you can have graphic on your site!

Sharepoint 2010 : Securing Your Web Part

When to secure your web part?

Scenario:

Let say you have a page with some information; most of the information there is for public viewing. It’s just that a part of it is not meant for public. So instead of having 2 pages with 90% similar information, you can actually have 1 page with some confidential information – only for selected users.

What you have to do is create a separate web part for the confidential information and assign target audiences for the confidential information.

With this, information in this web part is secured and cannot be view by public.

As simple as that!

Documents icon did not showing up in search result - Sharepoint 2010

Picture is from Google :)

Some of my users complaint that they did not see the document icons in search result - after we installed the iFilter.

When we check, the source of the images is empty. (src=" ")

But it is weird because certain users can see the document icon perfectly.

After investigation, we found that there are double mapping key in xml file (docicon.xml).

<Mapping Key="pdf" Value="pdf16.png"/>

<Mapping Key="pdf" Value="pdf.gif" OpenControl=""/>

After removed one of the mapping key the search icons were displayed perfectly for all users. 

I am now happy :)

Sharepoint : Add scrolling marquee.

I am currently been assigned to a sharepoint task.
It is a new exposure for me. There's a lot of new things that i have learned.
It just that i do not have time to share :(

Let's start with something simple.
My supervisor and I were trying to make the website more interesting.
He asked me to add a scrolling marquee image to the home page.

So this is the solution:

1. Go to edit  page and add a web part. Browse for HTML Form Web Part, click add.
2. At the web part, click Edit Web Part. You will found the source editor.
3. The the code and replace with :

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" style="font-size:30px;" >Welcome to Wan Nur Akmal's site</marquee>

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left"><img src="/personal/194031/Shared%20Pictures/_t/smile_jpg.jpg" width="100" height="100" alt="smile" /></marquee>


4. Save the code and click OK.
5. Tadaa...Your scrolling marquee will be at the page!

Can't edit feature class, Arcgis Engine 10

I found that if the layer/data wasn't versioned, we can not modify it and it won't appear at the target layer combo box.


What I did was register the dedicated layer and that's it. The feature class then appear at the toolbar and now I can edit the layer :)


In the process of register the layer, I also got a problem which the layer associated with locks on my machine.

Failed to register as versioned. 

After google and search for the solution, I just restart the SDE services.
The process of register the layer into version went well after that.


:)


Happy! Now i can go back, it's already late.
Work, see you tomorrow :)
