Yes, but it must be done through FrontPage.
 
Open FrontPage and navigate to your site (http://mysite.sharepoint.apptix.net) and open the default.aspx file to the design view.
In the top navigation bar, you will see an add link

How do I create a new theme?
 
You can create a new theme and customize the selectors you want, and then apply the new theme to your site. That way, the site will have the general look of a SharePoint site, but with the modifications you want.
 
The way to do it:
  1. Open your site in FP
  2. Format | Theme
  3. At the very bottom of the theme task pane select "Create new Theme”
  4. You’ll get the “Customize” theme window
  5. Click on “Text”
  6. ...

Service Unavailable error when accessing site
 
We have created two sites, one of which is a document repository that has been used regularly for weeks.  While creating the second site (which only has one webpart that pulls in our ProClarity site's url), we can no longer access either of our sites and get a white screen that states 'Service Unavailable'.   This error also comes up when trying to launch the Administrator tool.

Service Unavailable error when accessing site
 
This is because the application pool in which SPS is running has experienced a few errors in rapid succession and has been disabled. to change this setting, go to Internet Services manager, expand application pools, select the one that's hosting SPSv2 (or WSS, whatever), and change settings on one of the tabs that pertain to error handling.

Accessing SharePoint Services databese stored in MSDE
 
This is due to the fact that MSDE installed an instance of SQL Server, rather than the default instance. additional instances of SQL Server are installed as YOURSERVERNAME\INSTANCENAME. SPSv2 installs it as YOURSERVERNAME\SHAREPOINT.
 
to verify, go to Administrative Tools->Services, and locate the running SQL Server instance.

We've been adding users to Cross Site Groups which are easier to manage for Document Libraries.  We created a little C# app to add users using SPGroup.AddUser() essentially.  Works pretty well.

Importing Document Library
 
Sounds like you'll probably have to use the smigrate tool.  You may be able to save your document library as a template .stp file, then import that into v2, if the size is under 10MBs.

Is there a way to customize a discussion list ?
 
Hi,
 
What I want to do is to modify the discussion list. Something that is very annoying for the moment is the navigation inside the discussion. indeed, when you click on a reply to a topic to see the content, you have no way to see for example the next reply of this topic. You have to click on "Go back to the discussion board" and then you have to retrieve the good topic. Very annoying.

AddUser not receiving email with password
 
Don't know for sure but maybe what is happening is if SharePoint sees the same email address more than once, it asumes that the "new" user is already a user and should they use their old/original user name and pw.
 
If you go to the Collective information about users list is the original user name there? If so maybe you can change his password and have them login with the new...

Cannot create user automaticly accounts (invite)
 
This issue is that there is two seperate modes for how accounts in sharepoint services work.  In one mode, the accounts are created via the domain (e.g. Local Users); in the other mode, the accounts are created in the Active Directory (e.g. Remote Users).  Apparently, this option must be set when you install Sharepoint Services and you can't mix modes :(

Go to the site where the surveyis located:

  • Click on the survey
  • Click on "Modify Survey" in the left hand toolbar
  • Click on Save "Survey as Template"
  • Click on the include Content button to include previous response - leave empty to start fresh!

Let me know if this helps

Customizing Area Templates with onet.xml
 
I have made an Area Template for SPS2003 by copying and customizing a folder in ...\1033\TEMPLATE directory and creating a WEBTEMP*.XML file. The template works with editing the default.aspx file in FP (the changes are propagated to all templated areas) but editing the configurations in ONET.XML to alter the default webparts have no effect.
 
Any suggestions?

Is there a way to allow users to reset their own passwords in SPS?
 
Assuming SPS 2003 with Active Directory, is there a way to allow users to reset their own passwords (i.e. request reset, have it happen automatically & automatically email new password to them) from within SharePoint Portal Server?

Quick Launch bar to wide
 
Hi!
 
How comes that sometimes the Quick Launch bar gets twice as wide as it should be? If I close my web browser and go back
to the site it looks normal again.

Can't edit a file after uploading
 
No this isn't due to the trial because I have no problems editing documents(word and excel) from another machine(except for Visio documents - I can download them but I can't edit them and save directly back to SharePoint). Also, none of the editing functionality works with Netscape 7.1.
