I came across the request for this from a client I was working with. The client pointed me to some research he found on web (one link from MSDN and another from another blog). After some reading and further research, I found a great post that walks you through doing this.
Essentially, the solution is to wrap the SiteActions control with a SPSecurityTrimmedControl in the master page. The only trick to this is identifying the appropriate permission string to use for the control so you do not remove the menu from users who will actually need to use it. The string can easly be composed after reviewing the set of users (or a group of users) who will need access and checking the rights associated permission levels granted those users (or group).
I came across these notes on creating custom list templates when I was searching for a quick reference on list types and base type definitions to use in the CAML ListTemplate element. I copied them verbatim here for my reference. The original post can be found here: http://karinebosch.wordpress.com/walkthroughs/create-custom-list-templates-in-caml/
Important details to note are:
- FeatureId (optional): This is the ID of the feature in which the list template is defined
- BaseType (required): Specifies the base type, or default schema, for lists created using this template. See the table below for the 5 possibilities.
- Type: this is the template type on which the new list template is based. Se the table below for all base types of standard SharePoint list templates.
- DisplayName: the display name of the list template.
More details can be found in André Vala’s post.
The following table lists the 5 base types:

I recently had to integrate jCarousel into a SharePoint web part. Since jCarousel is a plugin for jQuery, it means I also had to get jQuery integrated with SharePoint. In order to accomplish this, I followed some good feature packaging instructions found from a few different blog posts:
After figuring out how to package jCarousel and jQuery using SharePoint delegate controls, I was ready for business with the implementation of the web part.
The web part itself was nothing fancy. I used a Repeater control to generate the list item (LI) elements with the content I needed in the carousel. I wrapped the Repeater in an unordered list (UL) which was wrapped in a DIV tag that had the runat attribute set to server. So basically, I just followed the mark up instructions provided in the jCarousel documentation.
The wrapping DIV tag was used in my webpart code to initialize jCarousel. The code snippet below shows how I implemented it:
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.ClientScript.IsStartupScriptRegistered(this.GetType(), this.ClientID))
{
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), this.ClientID, @"
<script type=""text/javascript"">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('#" + carouselDiv.ClientID + @"').jcarousel({
// Configuration goes here
vertical: true,
scroll: 2,
visible: 4
});
});
</script>
");
}
}
Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 have been officially annouced and are available for download from the Microsoft Download Center. I ran across the annoucement on the Microsoft SharePoint Team Blog where you can find links to the knowledgebase articles, downloads, and other resources including installation instructions. Below are quick links for the downloads:

I love finding a good and useful blog post and this morning I did just that. The post from Joel Oleson regading SharePoint test driven development is great. It has a quick exerpt from his twitter conversation with other SharePoint pros regarding this topic, a summary of what he learned, and list of useful resources with descriptions. If you follow or practice test driven development (TDD) and are involved with SharePoint development, then this post will be a good resource for you too.
