I develop a website in Sharepoint 2007. I have pages that have a richhtmlfield with content. I need to add the possibility to add comments by any user and the option to rate the page with a dropdownlist with values from 1-5, then sum all the votes and show a global rate for the page.
i don't know how to do this in Sharepoint or what are my options.
You should give the Document Rating System of the SharePoint Tool Basket a try.
This project allows authenticated users to rate :
custom lists, document libraries, picture libraries, issue lists, calendars, links
discussion boards
pages.
Blog posts
Moderator module
The system also contains a site definition and is now available in English, French & Dutch
Also the Podcasting Toolkit for SharePoint http://www.codeplex.com/pks (developed by Microsoft) contains a nice rating control.

We have a project to migrate a site from MediaWiki to a SharePoint modern page. We easily conducted a migration using a Metalogix tool.
However, from a design perspective, what is the best way to manage Categories in the SharePoint modern site, so that the Category functionality would be similar to the Category functionality in MediaWiki (Wikipedia)
Should we use SharePoint Lists for this functionality, or should we use tagging?
Thank you very much in advance for your helpful answers
Got an answer here at this link
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/how-can-categories-in-sharepoint-modern-site-be-managed/m-p/1176713
I would be inclined to use tagging through a custom site column in the
"Site Pages" library. On the page, you can display tag using the "Page
properties" web part and finally tie it all together using the
"Highlighted content" web part filtered on the tag.
Hi I am looking for a CMS, that would allow me to add/view items based on categories. Just like a shopping cart but much simpler than that. I am working on a project which requires to categorize Movies based on their genre. So, there will be categories like Action, Romance,etc. Under each category, I need to display an image/video and some text regarding the movie. Which CMS would allow me do this?. Thanks in advance
I suggest you to use Joomla for your requirement. Joomla have lot of components and modules for your requirments.
Better you go with Joomla.. :)

Our company already has a CMS that facilitates this. One of clients is an video/games and entertainment company with an online e-commerce site.
You can contact us via our website www.monadel.com.
However, we are B2B and you may be looking for freeware - which we are not currently offering.
Wishing you success in your endeavours.
As you can see in the official MS powerpoint slides here: http://www.microsoft.com/germany/msdn/launch2008/library.aspx?id=SP_T16_DI_1800 it is possible to program a hierarchical view of sharepoint wiki pages.
i searched the web and i only found blogs full of the known weaknesses of SP wiki like: no comments, no pictures, no mark up language, no full text search etc.
but this is a thing which should be possible somehow, i hope.
The navigation is provided by an Add-on product, its not OOTB (Out of the box) functionality.

MOSS provides you an excellent option to create a "news" site in your portal.
It adds some "Archive" functionality, but it is very limited - a list of all articles published in that particular site.
My users would like to see something better, a real archive of published articles, browsable by publishing date.
What I've tried so far, is creating a "Calendar" view in the http://portal/publishingsite/pages/ library. It works, but when you click a link in this calendar, it opens the "dispform.aspx?ID=123", not "mytestpage.aspx".
Is it possible to create a custom page using SharePoint designer where I can put a calendar (best if it can be browsed as easy as a typical calendar view in a list) and that links to pages in "page display mode" not in "SharePoint list item display mode"?
Maybe you have seen an easy-to-install and easy-to-maintain page archive feature for MOSS?
Hy,
have you tried one of the templates available at:
Microsoft SharePoint templates
There i saw some pretty good calendar implementations.
(Try the TimeCard Registration).
I'm not sore if it's reusable,but i'm confident that it's a good starting point.
Good luck :)

It looks a little danger-esque to modifying MS template files in the 12 hive, but you can clearly see a 'DataItem.DisplayFormUrl' in...
<a onfocus="OnLink(this)"
href="<%# SPHttpUtility.HtmlUrlAttributeEncode(DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.DisplayFormUrl",""))%>
Change that and you may be good to go.
You could also perhaps consider customizing dispform.aspx:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/sharepointdesigner/HA101191111033.aspx
I suspect, however, that - if you only want to do this with Designer - it's not gonna fly :(
You could look into XSLT for a Data View... but unless you're willing to dish out a little cheddar I don't think you'll find something which is up-to-par with the Calendar view.
We are researching the various options that exist in our environment to create an Employee Directory. We have a SharePoint portal, AD and recently moved from Lotus Notes to Exchange. Our current employee search is a custom Notes DB that has since been retired.
Since moving to SharePoint an year ago, we've used a custom list using SharePoint Profiles that are updated from AD. But the simple list interface isn't very user friendly and is very slow. Sone of the requirements include type-ahead, pictures, and details of skills/certifications and other demographic information etc. We are considering building an ASP.NET or SilverLight application that can consume the information in the SharePoint list. With the introduction of Outlook and the Global Address List, we are now wondering if it might be easier to build something within Outlook.
Has anybody traveled a similar path and what would you advice us to do?
Microsoft has a huge set of offerings for Collaboration and Social Computing in Sharepoint.
See this document, pages 8 and 9 for information about features related to an employee directory, including details of skills/certifications and other demographic information.
A la carte availability of individual features (such as People Profiles and People Search) and pricing may be an issue, but you may want to look into buying something rather than building it (if you can get the pieces you want for a price you can afford).
Sharepoint can connect with Outlook to keep the lists synchronized if you want to use outlook. And there are definitely a lot of different ways to change the way the lists are presented in the Sharepoint portal to make them more user-friendly. Having those details on the portal will certainly be a boon when combined with the powerful search and indexing features in SharePoint so you can identify employees based on their profile details easily.
We use the people search for this pretty effectively. We populate data in AD, then connect profile properties to AD attributes. That's only if you have MOSS, though. If you're working with WSS, you'll have to build something more custom.
One gotcha, though, is that the People Search out of the box doesn't easily do partial searches (i.e. searching for "john" doesn't match "johnson"). That's a big downer in my mind. You can use Ramon Scott's approach of a Content Editor Webpart with a form and some Javascript to work around it, and you can also get there via the advanced search box (albeit indirectly), but it sure would be nice if it were easy to make the default search box do partial name searches.
I recently just discoverd a somewhat easy visual basic script that draws information from the active directory where you can specify which OU to draw from where it displays all user information in a simple .HTM page. it includes a search bar, recognizes patterns (address) (company telephone number) etc... If you would like i can post it for you. you only need to fill in a few sections (display name for directory, OU, OU display, and tags) and you can always change the way things look too.
This should be taken care of by using the My Site feature that's available within SharePoint. You will then be able to search SharePoint users by skills, certifications, projects, and educational qualification.
Please refer to the SharePoint Planning and Deployment material on TechNet for more info.
