@Frank,

BTW, I’m terrible at screencasts. It takes me 2 hours to produce 10 minutes of video. It’s not something I do often but I’m trying to get better. I’ll keep this request in mind.

I don’t think it’s going to work with PDFs because there’s no expected client integration.

I intended for there to NOT be a popup if the document does not require checkout or you already have it checked out. Is that the case?

Two questions:
1. Can this work with PDFs?
2. Not all the documents and PPT slides have the ‘POPUP’. How can I fix this. We are using WSS 3.0
Thanks

Do you have a ‘Screencast’ or ‘Screenshots’ for this? I’m still new at SharePoint and we are using WSS 3.0 for our hospital.
Thanks

@Adam

Thanks for the compliment. I’ve never used WSS2 so I can’t really help you. To create this, I studied the rendered source of the document library looking for a pattern near the document’s link.

The javascript call has a bunch of arguments which included the current user and the user the document is checked out to (null if not checked out).

Therefore, my logic just says arr[10] != arr[11] (if argument 10 does not equal argument 11…)

Paul,

Looks like a great trick. I’ve got a WSS 2.0 site that I’d like to use this on, but I can’t get it to work. I suspect it needs to be on MOSS 2007/WSS 3.0 to work. Any way it can be made to work for WSS 2.0?

Thanks,
Adam

@Custard,

For a single library, use Site Actions > Edit to put the page in edit mode. Then ‘Add a web part’ to one of the zones. Add a Content Editor Web Part. In the settings for that CEWP, open the Source Editor and paste the code there.

If you like that, start with my series on JavaScript: http://www.endusersharepoint.com/?p=929

This looks perfect!
Please forgive my ignorance but where should I put this code?

You’re right. I missed the part with the rewritten ExpGroupRenderData function completely. Well, well, it was late last night ;-)

Thanks for enlighting me…
