How to tell if you are on WSS site/MOSS 2007 site?

I often come across confusion around branding options and navigation customizations for WSS v3 sites. One of the first questions I ask is if the WSS v3 site is on a server with only WSS v3 installed, or is it on a server where MOSS 2007 has also been installed. This often adds to the confusion.
In addition to the differences between MOSS 2007 and WSS v3, there are differences in WSS sites depending on if the host server also has MOSS 2007 installed. In regards to branding and navigation, WSS sites NOT on a server with MOSS do not have the option to set a Master Page in the Site Settings, nor can they have drop downs added out-of-the-box to the tabbed horizontal navigation.
You can easily check to see if your WSS site is hosted on a server with MOSS installed by checking the Site Settings for the WSS site.
1. Go to Site Actions - select Site Settings
2. Look under the Look and Feel category. If you see:
o Top link bar, you have a WSS site on a server with only WSS installed.
o Master Page and Navigation, you have a WSS site on a server with MOSS installed.
See the below screenshot of a stand-alone WSS site.

See the below screenshot of a WSS site on a server with MOSS. All Site Setting differences have been marked.

For WSS only servers, you will have to set a custom master page for the site using SharePoint Designer. For drop down navigation, you will need to add a custom navigation solution to your master page.
As a side note, another user interface difference between the two is the Content Query Web Part (CQWP). The CQWP is a component of MOSS, so it is only available on WSS sites hosted a server with MOSS installed. Click below for info on how to customize the CQWP.

Accessing Custom Aspx Page in MOSS 2007 Site

Hi,

There would be requirement where we could have developed our custom aspx page and we have to deploy the same on SharePoint site. To do this first we need to paste that folder which consists of aspx page in the below path of the machine
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS

Now we can access our custom aspx page by accessing in the below format of the site
http://servername:portno/_layouts/foldername/customaspxpagename.aspx

For the example through Visual studio I have created a folder Custom and aspx page name would be custompage.So I can access the page with the following url
http://servername:portno/_layouts/ Custom /custompage.aspx

Creating windows service for creating sites

Hi,
I am posting three ways of approaches that I followed to create windows service for creating sites
First Approach: In this approach I created a xml where I have saved the process names, owner login, owner name. From this xml I am taking process names and creating the sites in Console Application
Here through code I have taken care of displaying the message if site already exists
o Deployment : Xml file, Console Application exe and Console Application exe config files to be moved from test server to dev/production server
o Solution file : CreateSiteCA.zip

Second Approach : In second approach I created a bat file and I have written stsadm commands to create the sites
o Deployment : Bat file needs to be moved from test server to dev/production server
o Solution file : createsite.bat

Third Approach : In this approach I have created list in which I have saved process names, owner login, owner names. From this list I am fetching the process names and creating the sites
Here through code I have taken care of displaying the message if site already exists
o Deployment : List template, Console Application exe and Console Application exe config files to be moved from test server to dev/production server
o Solution file : CreateSitefromListCA.zip

Customising Welcome message of the site

Hi,

There may be the situation where you may have to customise the welcome message which will be on the right top of the site.For that i got the good link.Now my requirement was displaying the message based upon the intranet/extranet site.For that initially i have written the below code in welcome.ascx but the problem is it use to execute if condition always

Finally after seeing the link

http://www.wictorwilen.se/Post/Having-fun-with-the-SharePoint-Welcomeascx-control.aspx

what i did is

I took a custom user controlcustomwelcome.ascx and copy pasted the code of welcome.ascx in it and I have wriiten code in webpart as

namespace CustomWelcome {

public class Welcome : Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.Welcome {

protected Welcome() {

}

[SharePointPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, ObjectModel = true)]

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)

{

base.OnLoad(e);

if (HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)

{

if (HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.AuthenticationType==”Forms”)

{

PostCacheSubstitutionText pt = base.ExplicitLogout.MenuControl.Controls[0]

as PostCacheSubstitutionText;

pt.TextType = PostCacheSubstitutionTextType.UserName;

pt.SuffixHtml=”(Extranet)”

}

Else

{

PostCacheSubstitutionText pt = base.ExplicitLogout.MenuControl.Controls[0]

as PostCacheSubstitutionText;

pt.TextType = PostCacheSubstitutionTextType.UserName;

pt.SuffixHtml=”(Intranet)”

}

}

}

}

}
