I want to know how I can connect to the SiteUserInfoList using U2U CAML Builder tool, I know I can do it in code. But want to be able to quickly query it through the tool so I can bring back the values it holds.
Or a better question... where is the SiteUserInfoList information held in the content database (mysites or site content database?)
...I looked in Alllists table and filtered by tp_Title column, but no rows were returned....
Many Thanks,
Nav
This is a good article that explains how this information is stored in Sharepoint.
SiteUserInfo gets stored in content database and the userprofile data in the SSP database.

I am having a page with documents loaded in SharePoint 2010. I have three buttons below each documents in the page and they are 'Like','Unlike' and 'Comment'. So whenever people go there and see the documents they can click on any buttons of their wish.
My question is how to take the hit count of these buttons seperately and display it for each document. Is it possible to create a list with having these three columns and handle it using Client-Side scripting. Any suggestions or help is much appreciated.
Each item in SharePoint has a property bag that can contain ad-hoc data like this. You could certainly add additional columns to store this data and update those columns but that does mean that users could easily manipulate the values via the UI. Since the property bag is only accessible via the various API's, you wouldn't have this issue.
For an example of accessing the property bag via CSOM (which would be your best option since I'm assuming you want your users to be able to like, unlike and comment without refreshing the page each time), see this post reading and writing property bag values using CSOM
Another thing to consider for comments is the existing notes functionality that exists in SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013. These comments are ties into the social functionality and may give you a bit more bang for your buck. To show the comments page for a particular list item see this post SharePoint Social Data using Javascript
I am trying to read some columns from my CRM database in SharePoint 2010 list using external content type via SharePoint Designer 2010. But the GUID fields are refusing to be imported. By this, what I mean is, when I create an External List based on the External Content Type created in SPD, the list doesnt show the fields that are of GUID type. There is no error messages, warnings, or log file entries that explains this. Any ideas as to why this may be happening?
I am not trying to edit or write back to the database, simply read. I can read/see other fields fine in the destination list.
I have the exact same issue. For me I was hoping to Edit the GUID or add it, but since the External List does not show the GUID at all I can't do any of that. You stated you just need to read it though. You can get the GUID type columns to show up by creating a new PAGE and adding a Web part of type 'business data list' which connects to your External Content Type. Look at the link below...specifically the part half way down entitled "Deploy the solution and create new page to see the associated data lists". It is very useful to link up data between tables too using Business Data Related Lists.

Our organization has started a project hoping to use sharepoint to create Electronic Records for Clients rather than the paper method which tends to have documents get lost etc.
I have been tasked with interfacing with sharepoint to find documents associated with a given client. Each document has sharepoint metadata that stores a ClientNumber, but I am having issues finding how to use the QueryService web service to search on this specific field. There are about 30 document libraries I am to search through, so believe the QueryService is probably a better fit for this particular situation than ListService.
I am using VB code to do the searching, and the following is the querytext I am sending to the QueryEx Function.
...<QueryText type='MSSQLFT'>
SELECT rank, title, path, Description, Write, Size, author, sitename, FileExtension, HitHighlightedSummary, HitHighlightedProperties, keywords, IsDocument from Scope() WHERE FREETEXT(DEFAULTPROPERTIES,'" & Me.ClientNumber.Text & "') AND IsDocument = 1 ORDER BY Rank DESC -- </QueryText>...
I would like to be able to include something in the WHERE clause that explicitly says a match must be found in the ClientNumber field but I have yet to find a way to do this, and as a result of this we are getting results where other metadata or one of the document properties such as document size is equal to the client number.
I have found documentation that there is a way to expose metadata through property mappings and this then becomes searchable. I however cannot find a way this is done in WSS 3.0, is this a MOSS 2007 only feature, or a feature available in 2010?
If anyone can tell me if there is possibly some other way to search based on metadata, or give some insight as to where I should be looking for more information it would be greatly appreciated.
You need to install the Search Server Express from Microsoft, it is free and it gives you the MOSS search engine, where you can do anything you want
As a feed from external system we get a Catalog items (They are product info) as part of feed once a day. We need to take this feed and store in Sharepoint. Following are things we want to achive with this.
Need to search those items and show as part of standard search resutls.
There will be Insert (New Items) , updates and deletes to the items. In addtion to that catalog item will have metadata associated with it.
We would not be modifing any of that data in our system. it is just the display only.
I would like to know from the group what is the best way to store this in sharepoint and search on them.
I would agree with the suggestion of a timer job to do a perhaps nightly batch import and update of the sharepoint catalog. The catalog would be stored in a sharepoint list using a content type (set of fields) that you specify which will hold all the product related data for the catalog.
The BDC may well be your answer if it's compatible with the type of data you want to display and would be the easier cleaner option. However if it doesn't meet all your requirements, the above solution would be the most flexible route.
Give BDC (Business Data Catalog) a try. MOSS required.
If you don't have MOSS Enterprise, creating your own TimerJob that imports the Catalog info from this once a day into a list is also an option.
I have a website in Sharepoint.
To get a list of sites ordered by the exploration, that is to say, ordered by the user in the sharepoint administration, i would write the following code:
SPWeb web = CurrentSite.OpenWeb(currentSite);
SPNavigation nav = web.Navigation;
SPNavigationNodeCollection nodeColl = nav.QuickLaunch;
That is ok, but i need to do it with CAML. The only problem is that i don't know how to get the items ordered as the user did it, i get the items unordered or ordered by a column, i don't think there is a column for the user's order.
Plz give me some code.
Unfortunately, the navigation information is not stored with the pages in the library. The navigation can store more that just published pages, so the navigation had to be stored in it's own structure.
That means there is no content query for this.
