Modifiable DWP Properties

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 "&lt;", "&gt;", and "&amp;" respectively.

These properties are only viewable in the DWP if the default settings have been changed.

MySite (String)

This property allows you to change the default My Site characteristics of the web part. The default characteristic modifies the URL "/mysite" to point to "/personal/User". This allows the web part to search through the My Site section of SharePoint Portal Server. SPS allows administrators to alter the URL definition for each SPS server. To accommodate for this, the DWP Property "MySite" was designed to allow administrators to alter the web part to support their particular SPS My Site setup.

Use:
<MySite xmlns='webpart_namespace'>/sites/<%Domain%> AND/OR <%User%></MySite>

Example:
<MySite xmlns='CorasWSC.Document.Spreadsheet.RollUp'>/personal/&lt;%User%&gt;</MySite>

Settings:
<%User%> = User Name
<%Domain%> = Domain Name

WorkplaceXML (String)

Enter the XML to describe the workplace to be created. The format for the XML is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Workplaces>
  <Workplace id="ID NAME">
   <Workspace>
    <Title>Title</Title>
    <Description>Workplace Description</Description>
    <URL>/Workplacename</URL>
    <Template>template file name</Template>
    <Language>1033</Language>
  </Workspace>
 </Workplace>
</Workplaces>
