Alpesh Nakar Blogs on SharePoint, Microsoft and that’s IT

Are you seeing default.aspx after Pages in your SharePoint breadcrumb navigation?

I found a simple fix for this problem in MOSS, modify the master page.

Open the master page and look for PlaceHolderTitleBreadcrumb

Change SiteMapProvider="SPContentMapProvider" to

SiteMapProvider="CurrentNavSiteMapProviderNoEncode"

To quote from my reference

When you’re creating a new Page Layout, make sure you override the Title Breadcrumb with something that uses the CurrentNavSiteMapProviderNoEncode provider.

Heather Solomon has written a great post detailing the behaviour of out of the box page layouts breadcrumbs. She has also linked to other resources for how to modify and use the breadcrumb.

As a developer, quite often you may have to recycle the application pool. IISReset is an option, alternatively you can just recycle a particular application pool.

Denny has a tip to just get this done!

cscript c:\windows\system32\iisapp.vbs /a "[App_Pool_Name]" /r

If you want to allow your blog visitors to comment on blog posts you will need to explicitly allow them to do so. To achieve this, you will need to setup unique permissions on your blog.
Here is the procedure:
1. Open http://your_blog_url/Lists/Comments/AllComments.aspx
2. Select Settings > List settings
3. Select Permissions and Management > Permissions for this list
4. Open Actions >Edit permissions (confirm this action when dialog pops-up)

Now you can setup unique permissions for this list. From this step forward you can add permissions for a specific user. The best approach is to give the Visitors group "Contribute" rights for this entire list.

Early this month, I did my exams for MCTS: Configuring and Administering MOSS 2007 70-630 exams and scored 1000/1000! Yeah, felt great for sure. Next on list is 70-631 and for sure I see that Becky  Bertram is on track for that as well. Becky has very graciously shared study guide for this exam. It’s not your run of the mill study guide. She has researched well and compiled list of links to resources for each and every relevant section. Now that surely is awesome! Thanks Becky! All the best.
