I know how to force check out for Lists Libraries.
But I am not finding a way to force check out for other files (including MasterPages).
I am using WSS 3.0.
Thank you for your help.
this is how I solved it.
The Master Page Gallery is really a document library -so we can set its versioning settings in this way.
Open Site Settings.
Open the Master Page Gallery.
Click on Settings/ Document Library Settings.
Open versioning settings and check "Require documents to be checked out...".
Thank you.

Is there any way to make a full backup of Sharepoint Online web site based on Office 365 without third-party tools? Tried to google it, but found only ways to manually backup list or libraries. I'm need to save user properties, permissions, webparts, etc.
Thanks for help!
Since it is SharePoint online, you won't be able to perform a full-backup as you'd be able to do with Backup-SPSite.
However, you can save your site as a template. If your publishing feature is enabled for this site, you'll need to enable saving the website as a template via SharePoint Designer. Under the "Site" tab, select “Site Options”, find "SaveSiteAsTemplateEnabled" and set to "true". Then
add this to your site's url:
/_layouts/15/savetmpl.aspx
Fill out and submit the form. In my experience, that should take about 10 minutes, or the working on it screen might never change. If the later happens, you can check for your solution on this page:
/_catalogs/solutions/Forms/AllItems.aspx
This option might not work if your site is over 50MB, so you might need to forgo checking the option that allows including your list content in this backup.
I'm trying to create folders in a set of custom lists I've created. However, when I try to do this, the New Folder button in the Ribbon is disabled. I read up on the matter; and this lead me to look to enable folder creation in List Settings -> Advance Settings. However, there doesn't seem to be an option to enable folder creation on the page. It shouldn't be a permission related issue; as I created the lists; and I'm also an admin on the farm.
I could use a document library; but we will not be uploading documents to the list; so this is more then I need.
What are my options, or what am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Frank
Go the the List Settings, go to Advanced List Settings and there should be an option there that reads: "Make "New Folder" command available?" Set that option to yes and you can create folders.
Good luck,

I figured this out. Turned out I was using a prerelease version of SP 2010; this was a bug.
Have you tried using a Wiki Page Library instead? It's possible to add folders inside these.
How can I move a document library from one site to another on the same server.
Both source and destination sites are under the same root site.
The Sharepoint Content Deployment Wizard is awesome for this sort of thing. Highly recommended and open source.
I've had success simply opening up explorer view on both sites and dragging and dropping. I guess it depends on how complex your migration is.
I am using a pageviewer webpart to display a .htm page which is present in a document library in sharepoint 2010.
It is asking me to download the page instead of diplaying in the page
But in MOSS 2007 it is working fine(I mean it is displaying in the page)
Please suggest me the solution
Thanks in advance.
SP2010 has restrictions on displaying or opening some files. So for that, You need to go to central administration and check the "Browser File Handling" to "Permissive" for that web application's general settings.
I think it will help you.
There is a better way to handle "Browser File Handle" issue. Take a look at my blog here: http://www.pdfsharepoint.com/sharepoint-2010-and-pdf-integration-series-part-1/
Solution #2 addresses Pdf extension without exposing entire Web Application to "Permissive" browsing. Setting "Browsing File Handle" to "permissive" opens too many vulnerabilities with other file extensions.

When I deactivate a feature, or even just after removing a Solution package, I can still choose to select the Master Page which belonged to the feature I removed. This is a problem for me.
The only way to get rid of the hanging reference is to open SharePoint Designer and to browse to the sites _catalog directory then remove the .master files from the masterpages directory.
Is there a way to cause different uninstall behavior which would remove the hanging reference? If so how?
Thank you,
Yes deactivating the Master Page feature will not remove the master page from the Site you need to do it manually or using some feature receiver code that hooks the deactivating event.
My MOSS is a bit rusty, but can't you write some code in the
feature_deactivated event?
Do a manual remove of the master page there?
