CorasWorks web parts have a number of properties that can only be modified by manually editing the DWP file associated with this web part. You can edit a DWP file by exporting the web part to a location of your choice, making the desired changes, and then uploading it back onto your site.
The properties described here allow you to change the function and display of the web part. Please keep in mind the XML namespace of the web part you are changing, or these properties will not be enabled within the web part. XML namespaces for all CorasWorks web parts are provided in the For Developers help topic.
Also note that some of these properties some may require the use of a "<", ">", or "&" symbol. If that is the case, you will need to replace these characters with their encoded equivalents of "<", ">", and "&" respectively.
These properties are only viewable in the DWP if the default settings have been changed.
NOTE: As of the Summer 05 release of the Workplace Suite, a Localization tab on the administration interface allows you to make many of the localization changes described below. Before you make these changes in the DWP, you may want to review the available settings that can be modified on the Localization tab.
This property allows you to alter the generic schema that
will be used by the web part. Currently "Announcements", "Contacts",
"Documents", "Events", "Links", and "Tasks" are supported. Once this is changed
the generic schema that is stored in the DLL will be reset to utilize this
property. By default "Tasks" is utilized as the chart properties are designed to
support automatically this list type. This will be overridden if a new List
Schema has been added to the DWP.
Use: <ListType
xmlns='webpart_namespace'>List Type</ListType>
Example: <ListType
xmlns='CorasWSC.Chart.Display'>Tasks</ListType>
This property will allow you to change the web part’s default MySite characteristics. By default, the web part will modify the URL "/mysite" to point to "/personal/User". This allows the web part to search through the MySite section of SharePoint Portal Server. SPS allows the Administrator to alter the URL definition for each SPS server. Because of this, the DWP Property "MySite" was designed to allow the Administrator to alter the web part in order to support their specific SPS MySite setup.
Use:<MySite
xmlns='webpart_namespace'>/site/<%Domain%> AND/OR
<%User%></MySite>
Example: <MySite
xmlns='CorasWSC.Chart.Display'>/personal/<%User%></MySite>
Settings:
<%User%> = UserName, <%Domain%> = Domain Name
This property allows you to start the collection of list items for roll-up display one level above the site identified in the Site URL field. This applies to Line of Site roll-ups only.
This property allows the "Powered By CorasWorks" text to be hidden or shown at the top of the web part display. If this property is set to true, the user will see the "Powered By CorasWorks" text. If this property is set to false, the user will not see this text. This property can be changed from true to false or from false to true by executing the proper search command.
Use: <ShowCorasWorks
xmlns='webpart_namespace'>true/false</ShowCorasWorks>
Example:
<ShowCorasWorks
xmlns='CorasWSC.Chart.Display'>true</ShowCorasWorks>
This property allows the List Return Search Bar to be hidden or shown. If this property is set to true, the user will see the List Return Search Bar. If this property is set to false, the user will not be able to view or use the List Return Search Bar. This property can be changed from true to false by executing the proper search command. Once the property is set in the search command, you can only return it to its original state by editing the properties here.
Use: <ShowSearch
xmlns='webpart_namespace'>true/false</ShowSearch>
Example:
<ShowSearch xmlns='CorasWSC.Chart.Display'>true</ShowSearch>
This Property toggles whether, after a cell consumer
connection has been established, the filter used will do so with a LIKE phrase
or a direct "=" phrase. By default, LIKE is used so that those lists which
contain choice or lookup fields will be relatively searched within.
Use:
<UseLike xmlns='webpart_namespace'>true/false</UseLike>
Example:
<UseLike xmlns='CorasWSC.Chart.Display'>true</UseLike>
