Toronto SharePoint User Group Tonight (Wed, Apr 18) - Nadeem Mitha!

Tonight should be a great presentation, Nadeem Mitha is one of the few people I know who can regularly teach me new things about SharePoint. Tonight his topic is "Beyond Web Parts: Rapid Web Application Development using Windows SharePoint Services 3.0" and it should be an awesome one for aspiring and advanced developers alike. Nadeem was a presenter at Toronto CodeCamp this year and everyone I've met who attended really enjoyed what he had to say.

As usual we'll start the meeting off with the SharePoint Fireside Chat. This is where everyone has a chance to talk about what they're working on, ask questions and learn what's new in the world of SharePoint.

I'd like to thank a bunch of new volunteers and a new sponsor this month. Bill Brockbank will be hosting the meeting, Mariette at Eidenai is coordinating registrations, and Joubin Najmaie will be coordinating the website. This month's meeting is being sponsored by Infusion Development and our facilities are once again provided by Nexient Learning. Thank-you sponsors!

Hi Eli,

I have question regarding the capacity of Sharepoint 2003.

I have a list in one site saying mycompany/.../AllItems.aspx. I want to move this list to a new place saying mycompany/.../AllItems.aspx

Is there any way to do this? If yes, what is the security set will be for the list at new place? Will the GUID of the view of this list change?

Thank/Regards,

Steven

Can't you just save the list as a template(with or without content) and re-create it in the new location?.I think you will lose the security in this case.You can also export it to an excelsheet and import it in the destination.

Let's start with what doesn't work.

You cannot move a list from the MOSS Manage Content and Structure page, or the STSADM command line.

You can move a list by saving as template (include content) and then create an instance of that list elsewhere. However, security is not preserved in templates.

You can backup a site collection with STSADM (-o backup etc.), and selectively restore either the whole Site Collection or an individual Web to a new location. On restore, SharePoint will attempt to recreate list and item permissions as they were at the time of the backup. However, you can't selectively restore a list within any of the Webs.

So yes, you can copy a list to a new location with either fo these methods. If you want to create the list in an existing site you can only bring it back from a List Template which will preserve the content but not security.

Cheers,

-Eli.
