Share This Point

For people who are familiar with the Hide Quicklaunch web part for SharePoint 2003,  I've created a new one, that will work with SharePoint 2007.  I originally found the hide quick launch web part, on Todd Bleeker's blog,

It is a little content editor web part, that can be used to turn off the quick launch for SharePoint sites. It is a nice way to hide the quick launch, and clean up the display of a SharePoint site if you want to do that.

Here is a version that will work SharePoint 2007, it is a small amount of CSS to hide the quick launch.

Hope this is useful, let me know if you have any problems with it.

Sharepoint site templates are very very annoying.  We have been battling for weeks with the provisioning error of

Error

The specified program requires a newer version of Windows. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007047E)

It is only happens with creating a site from a site template, that has been transferred from another site collection.  Now, if you go to the site after you see the error, as an example.

Create a site called, http://localhost/somesite and you get the provisioning error you see above.  If you go to the site, it will be created, the navigation in the quick launch or across the top doesn't appear, but everything else seems to be created properly.  So the error seems to be occuring before the navigation, but after the site has been created.

We had spent awhile on this, before we realized the sites were being created correctly, so we thought we simply didn't have the ability to move site templates across site collections in the Beta 2 of SharePoint 2007. It works, it just appears to not work when first creating the site.

Hope this helps.
