Creating a SharePoint Solution Package (.wsp) in 5 steps – from Evgeny Tugarev

For those who are new to the SharePoint solutions and features I would recommend to try the SharePoint Solutions Generator, which is a part of theWindows SharePoint Services 3.0 Tools: Visual Studio 2005 Extensions. It is a windows stand-alone application that converts your existing SharePoint web site into the solution package and creates a Visual Studio project for you to use. Nice isn’t it?

What I personally don’t like in the automatic tools is that they always hide some part of the job they are doing behind the scenes. In this scenario you can’t really control and sometimes understand of that is going on. So, today I would like to blog about of how to manually create the SharePoint feature containing the list, how pack it into the solution package and finally deploy it to the production server. Everything will be done without any use of Visual Studio or other tools (only Notepad++).

So, let’s start!

Step 1. Folders

First, create the folder structure for the solution. I used MySolution but you can give a name whatever you want. Two folders were created beneathMySolution - source and bin. First is for the compiled package, second – to keep the feature and the customized list. I use the same file structure for the feature as in SharePoint - one folder per feature. Check out your SharePoint features hive at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\DiscussionsList and see how it’s organized.
In the source folder I made the feature folder called MyList and 2 subfolders inside - List Templates and Messages. In the end you will have something like this:

Step 2. Building a Feature.

Here we create our feature based on the SharePoint discussions list. Go to MyList folder and create a file feature.xml, where we reference 2 files, first – list manifest MyListManifest.xml and the second – schema.xml which is describing the list metadata. And don’t forget to change the GUID of feature Id with your own!

feature.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Feature Id="A8E6B85F-D81A-4cc1-9708-D15FEF359DE2"
Title="My Feature"
Description="This is my feature containing a list"
Version="1.0.0.0"
Hidden="FALSE"
Scope="Web"
DefaultResourceFile="core"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<ElementManifests>
<ElementManifest Location="ListTemplates\MyListManifest.xml" />
<ElementFile Location="Messages\schema.xml"/>
</ElementManifests>
</Feature>

Copy the original schema.xml file from the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\DiscussionsList\Discuss folder to the Messages folder, and you have a list schema to start from, MyListManifest.xml we’ll create manually in the ListTemplates folder –

MyListManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<ListTemplate
Name="Messages"
Type="108"
BaseType="0"
OnQuickLaunch="FALSE"
FolderCreation="FALSE"
SecurityBits="12"
Sequence="999"
DisplayName="My List"
Description="This is my custom list based on the discussions list"
Image="/_layouts/images/itdisc.gif"/>
</Elements>

What is important here is that the Name attribute must have the same name as the folder where schema.xml is placed, Messages, as SharePoint will look for the schema.xml file at that location!

After the end of this step you have 3 new files as seen on the picture

Step 3. Building a Solution Package (.wsp)

SharePoint Solution Packages (wsp ) provide a great way to distribute all your customization in just one flask and the creation of the .wsp ain’t so painful operation as you may think, I would say it is easy as hell! Everything starts from the traditional solution manifest .xml file in the Source folder:

manifest .xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Solution xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/"
SolutionId="EC2EFD73-DBA2-4c0e-9C18-C8FC43F72E6C" >
<FeatureManifests>
<FeatureManifest Location="MyList\Feature.xml"/>
</FeatureManifests>
</Solution>

Here, we reference our Feature.xml file that we had created before at the Step 2, and as you may guess it’s a good way to replace the the SolutionId GUID with something brand new J. The next that should be created is the data definition file (.ddf). It’s a simple text file with the building instructions for themakecab utility because the .wsp package is nothing more than a cabinet file with the .wsp extension. (If you rename .wsp or .stp file to .cab you’ll be able to see its contents). Let’s create a wsp.ddf in the Source folder:

wsp.ddf

.OPTION Explicit
.Set DiskDirectory1="..\bin"
.Set CabinetNameTemplate="MyListSolution.wsp"

manifest.xml

; These directory names (DestinationDir) are used for the folders creation under 12\TEMPLATE\Features

.Set DestinationDir="MyList\ListTemplates"
MyList\ListTemplates\MyListManifest.xml

.Set DestinationDir="MyList\Messages"
MyList\Messages\schema.xml

.Set DestinationDir="MyList"
MyList\Feature.xml

In this file we set an output folder for the compiled package..\bin, its name MyListSolution.wsp and we tell makecab to include 4 files (marked in red) and create 3 folders at the deployment phase (in blue). Now it’s time to build everything into a single file, but before we do that I create a build.cmd file in theSource folder with some lines to facilitate the building process

build.cmd

@setlocal
@pushd.

@cd %~dp0

makecab /f wsp.ddf

@popd
@endlocal

Here I reference the wsp.ddf file with processing instructions which I created before. After you run it your solution package will appear in the bin folder:

Step 4. Solution deployment.

So, the solution package has just been created and the last thing that is left to do is to deploy it to our production server. I always like then the script is doing my job, so I put 2 .cmd files into the bin folder to deploy and retract my.wsp package so I don’t have to deal with stsadm utility from command line.

DeployMyListSolution.cmd

@setlocal
@pushd.

@set PATH=C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN;%PATH% @cd %~dp0

stsadm.exe -o addsolution -filename MyListSolution.wsp
stsadm.exe -o deploysolution -name MyListSolution.wsp -local

@pause
@popd
@endlocal

RetractMyListSolution.cmd

@setlocal
@pushd.

@set PATH=C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN;%PATH% @cd %~dp0

stsadm.exe -o retractsolution -name MyListSolution.wsp –local
stsadm.exe -o deletesolution -name MyListSolution.wsp

@pause
@popd
@endlocal

After the solution is deployed you can activate the feature in the Site features menu of you site and start using the new list!

Step 5. Using the feature.

Before our custom list can be used the feature containing it must be activated within the SPWeb scope.

After activation is done your custom list will appear on the site’s create page and you can create list instances!

Have fun!
Next time I will talk about site definitions inside the solutions.

IU for deployment of SharePoint 2007 solution files

more user friendly installation and deployment of SharePoint 2007 solution files to a SharePoint server farm. Distribute your SharePoint solution files with this installation program instead of a raw script using STSADM.EXE to install and deploy the solution.

 

Just notice we can package our .wsp to become exe, so we no need run the stsadm and few more step need to do only can deploy our solution.

 

codeplex have offer the easy way for us to convert the .wsp to exe, which mean your admin/customer no need know the stsadm command also can install with click next !!  :D

Freeware to compare your Text file

Yesterday  our sharepoint web.config suddenly change , not sure what going on. The faster recover is restore the backup config , after we restore service is up. Now is the problem we need to compare 2 web.config file see what is missing or edited…

 

do a search on internet found out the good tool to use , which is ExamDiff . this tools is good to help you compare the different on the text file

 

 

Issues : all user unable to log in to ishare , show error message “Parser error”

 

Work around : restore the web.config from backup

 

Root cause : Following changer “Configure Session State value from x to y minutes and changed back to 60minutes “ will cause the web.config file deleted some information at web.config. This changer only impacted with our highly customize web.config file. :(

Walkthrough: Creating a Basic Web Part

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms415817(office.12).aspx

 

This walkthrough provides the steps for creating a basic custom Web Part that can be added to your Web Part Pages. It is a simple Web Part that allows the user to define a custom message to be displayed inside the Web Part. This Web Part will derive from the ASP.NET 2.0 Web Part class, which is the recommended practice for Windows SharePoint Services. Note that this walkthrough describes how to create a Web Part without the Visual Studio Extensions for Windows SharePoint Services.

You have chosen to delete too many groups at once. Select fewer groups and try again. ( folder permission)

ha ha ha…Unable to delete too much user at folder permission !! try to remove user permission at folder permission level then get the error message “You have chosen to delete too many groups at once. Select fewer groups and try again.”


Work around :
  • delete batch by batch ( maximum user can delete one time is around 450 user)
in this case, because of the admin not manager the user permission by domain or share point group and then cause too much individual user permission appear. If the admin manage the permission properly this issue will not happen.

The Login Name does not exist and SharePoint

 

After you migrate a user from a different Active Directory domain, the user can no longer access Windows SharePoint Services ??

 

yeah, if you get the error message  “The Login Name does not exist” i think probably is due to the user migrate from one domain to domain. After do some search at internet found have a lot good information. so i would like to share what i have found at internet.

 

Here >  from Microsoft , tell you what STSADM can help on this

 

Here > Tell how the stsadm work, can see from SQL table. this is cool!!

 

Here > more step to let you check what permission the old account have :D
