Move to the library that is holding the wiki pages.

After creating the library and loading the "jquery.min" file to this document library, I am unable to get the "localized" version of the webparts to work on my secure MOSS site using the default location within the web part (var jQPath = '/javascripts/'). Instead, I have to use the Source Editor each time I upload one of these web parts and change the jQpath pointer to my top site document library that contains the java script (var jQPath = 'https://sermcportal.amedd.army.mil/cops/imd-test/javascripts/'). How do I edit the source code of the web part so I don't have to manually update the pointer each time I import one of the custom webparts from the webinar? </p> http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/workflow-assignto#post-4237 Fri, 13 Feb 2009 16:06:55 +0000 jaxkookie 4237@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>Yes I think I can make this suggestion work. I have created my secondary list. I have my columns: 1 admin, 2 admin, 3 admin. Now I am not sure if I followed your explaination. what do you mean check for the lowest # in that record? in my original intake? I am still trying to figure out how to generate my number. I know I cant grab the ID cause it is not available until item posts. can a calculated field generate a randon num, say from 1-3? </p> http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/change-web-part-zones-from-two-columns-to-three-or-whatever#post-4236 Fri, 13 Feb 2009 16:02:10 +0000 constantandtrue 4236@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>I’ve setup a sub-site or two only later to find out I don’t like the way the “zones” are laid out.

So, in this case, the secondary list might have 1 record (easy to match in SPD) with 3 columns (one for each member of the WF). You check for the lowest # in that record and apply the appropriate AssignedTo then increment the number. </p> http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/survey-as-suggestion-box#post-4220 Fri, 13 Feb 2009 12:18:03 +0000 AutoSponge 4220@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>You might setup a workflow that does the same thing the alert would do.
