Error in SharePoint after applying SP1

SharePoint 3/22/2008 8:39 AM

 After applying SP1 you may see this error in your Application event log:

 Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {3D42CCB1-4665-4620-92A3-478F47389230} failed due to the following error: 80070005.
 
This is a security error. To fix this you need to reconfigure security entries for OSearch DCOM component. Follow these steps:
  • Go to Start --> Administrative Tools Component Services 
  • Expand Component Services --> Computers --> My Computer --> DCOM Config
  • Find Osearch, right click and select Properties

How to Check if Current Page is in Edit or Preview Mode

DotNetNuke 7/30/2007 9:34 PM
As part of the sequel “How to do simple things in DotNetNuke after you created your first module”, I’ll show you today how to recognize inside your module, when the page is in edit mode and when is in preview mode. 
 
 Me.EditMode property is not enough to show this state of the page. You need also to evaluate the a cookie used to indicate if the page is in preview or not.
  
If Me.EditMode Then
   Dim objPreview As HttpCookie
   objPreview = Request.Cookies("_Tab_Admin_Preview" & PortalSettings.PortalId.ToString)
   If Not objPreview Is Nothing AndAlso CType(objPreview.Value, Boolean) Then
     'the page is in preview mode
     '...
    
   Else
     'the page is in edit mode
     '...
  
   End If
End If
  
This is useful, obviously when you want to show different things when the page is in edit mode rather than preview.

How to Create a Page Programmatically in DotNetNuke

DotNetNuke 7/30/2007 4:44 AM
This snippet of code shows you how to programmatically create a page (tab) in DotNetNuke 4.x from a template.
It is called from the context of a module, so we have access to some of the main objects of DNN framework, such as PortalSettings.
Few properties are copied from the current active page: TabPermissions, SkinSrc, ContainerSrc. With a little effort you can specify your own values, if these ones are not appropriate.
 
The most important point is the use of the page template. By default, DotNetNuke comes with one template that is adding a HTML module to the main ContentPane. This template is placed in “…\Portals\_default\Templates\ Default.page.template” file. It is a XML file and you can easily change it or clone it to create your own template.
 
'create new hidden page 
Dim ctrTab As New DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabController
Dim objTab As New DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabInfo
Dim objActiveTab As DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabInfo
objActiveTab = Me.PortalSettings.ActiveTab
objTab.IsVisible = False
objTab.PortalID = Me.PortalId
objTab.TabID = Null.NullInteger
objTab.PortalID = PortalId
objTab.TabName = "Page Name"
objTab.Title = "Page Name"
objTab.Description = "Description"
objTab.KeyWords = ""
'we make it hidden this time
objTab.IsVisible = False
objTab.DisableLink = False
objTab.ParentId = -1
objTab.IconFile = ""
objTab.IsDeleted = False
objTab.Url = "N"
'get the same permissions as the current active page
objTab.TabPermissions = objActiveTab.TabPermissions
'get the same skin as the current active page
objTab.SkinSrc = objActiveTab.SkinSrc
objTab.ContainerSrc = objActiveTab.ContainerSrc
objTab.TabPath = GenerateTabPath(objTab.ParentId, objTab.TabName)
objTab.StartDate = Null.NullDate
objTab.EndDate = Null.NullDate
objTab.PageHeadText = ""
objTab.TabID = ctrTab.AddTab(objTab)
'create the page from our template
Dim xmlDoc As New System.Xml.XmlDocument
xmlDoc.Load(Server.MapPath(Me.Page.TemplateSourceDirectory & "/Portals/_default/Templates") & _
"\Default.page.template")
I will conclude that creating pages programmatically is not complicated in DotNetNuke, and can be useful in the process of custom module creation, when we want to save the admin user few extra steps.
