It worked in SPS 2003, so it is working in 2007. Let me know your email address and I'll just shoot it over in email fashion or I can post it on my blog. </p> AzuDaioh on "Web part to list subsites?" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/web-part-to-list-subsites#post-6930 Thu, 21 May 2009 17:53:32 +0000 AzuDaioh 6930@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>This sounds good to have...but I doubt our ancient Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 is capable of doing this. I can't wait til they upgraded to 2007. </p> eric on "Web part to list subsites?" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/web-part-to-list-subsites#post-6890 Thu, 21 May 2009 08:49:38 +0000 eric 6890@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>There is also a web part that we have called Site WorkSpace Viewer that lists all subsites in a site collection and security trims it to the users permission level. It isn't a stock web part. I'm trying to find out where it came from as it was here before me. </p> laura67 on "Web part to list subsites?" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/web-part-to-list-subsites#post-6862 Wed, 20 May 2009 17:28:04 +0000 laura67 6862@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>I called Microsoft about a similar problem (with a different web service) a couple of weeks ago. Then, before I got to talk to them about it, the problem magically went away. So, as long as the GUID is correct (the dvwp is being displayed in the same site collection in which it was created), then technically this should work correctly.</p> <p>Laura Rogers<br /> <a href="http://spinsiders.com/laurar" rel="nofollow">http://spinsiders.com/laurar</a> </p> ewnash on "Web part to list subsites?" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/web-part-to-list-subsites#post-6858 Wed, 20 May 2009 16:21:37 +0000 ewnash 6858@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>@Laura-</p> <p>If you happen across this thread again I ran into something odd. When I used your trick on a development environment all went fine but when I try to call data using webs.asmx in my production environment I get an incredibly helpful "unspecified error". When I switch authentication from Windows authentication to a named user with sysadmin-type permissions it works fine but that's not an acceptable solution as it exposes my admin passwords in clear text. Is this a permissions thing with the _vti_bin directory or am I missing something else? Any guidance would be much appreciated. TIA! </p> ewnash on "Web part to list subsites?" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/web-part-to-list-subsites#post-6857 Wed, 20 May 2009 16:17:02 +0000 ewnash 6857@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>@idosp-</p> <p>Unless you have more than 50 subsites (as I do) the Table of Contents web part does the job just fine. As to the DVWP, that's not an Enterprise feature but it can only be created with SharePoint Designer. You may be thinking of the Data Viewer web part (confusing, I know) and I'm not sure if that comes with WSS or MOSS Standard as I've not used it. </p> idosp on "Web part to list subsites?" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/web-part-to-list-subsites#post-6824 Tue, 19 May 2009 15:59:07 +0000 idosp 6824@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>And if you don't have Enterprise edition which means you don't have Data View Web Part, I guess you are just out-of-luck???? </p> ewnash on "Web part to list subsites?" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/web-part-to-list-subsites#post-6815 Tue, 19 May 2009 13:04:02 +0000 ewnash 6815@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>So now my users have a new request related to this one, and I'm pretty sure that the answer is a resounding NO, but here it is. Since the cool new DVWP (thanks again Laura!) delivers a directory of over 100 subsites it causes a certain amount of scrolling or batch retrieval. Have you ever come across a way of making a DVWP return results in a columnar format, by which I mean returning the rows from the query and delivering them in more than one column so that column A contains the first 20 results, column B contains the next 20 and so forth? I'm almost positive that this is s "no can do" but figured that I'd toss it out there before answering in the negative. </p> laura67 on "Web part to list subsites?" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/web-part-to-list-subsites#post-6722 Fri, 15 May 2009 15:43:28 +0000 laura67 6722@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>THANKS!!

I'm looking for a web part (other than the obvious Summary Links) that can provide links to all of the subsites and the MOSS Table of Contents WP seems to have a hidden 50 item limit. Any creative ideas besides making a links list manually? I'd like for newly added subsites to be automatically added and indexed.</p> <p>For the record, running MOSS SP1. </p>
