How to configure your MyInbox webpart automatically ?

Follow the autoConfig lab below to succeed the configuration for every user at runtime
1. Create a new Webpart Library project
2. Override the CreateChildControls
// import section
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls;
// attributes
private OWAInboxPart wpInbox;
protected override void CreateChildControls()
{
// inbox webpart
wpInbox = new OWAInboxPart();
Controls.Add(configureInbox(wpInbox));
}
3. Create a new method to configure your Inbox webpart. This method will determine the mailboxname and the servername at runtime for a particular user.

private OWAInboxPart configureInbox(OWAInboxPart wpInbox)
{
//Connect to the portal and get the portal context.
TopologyManager topology = new TopologyManager();
PortalSite portal = topology.PortalSites[new Uri(http://servername)];
PortalContext context = PortalApplication.GetContext(portal);
//initialize user profile config manager object
UserProfileManager profileManager = new UserProfileManager(context);
UserProfile prof = profileManager.GetUserProfile(true);
// use the profile object to retrieve the properties you need in your company to
// retrieve the mailboxname
// example: string = workmail =proPropertyConstants.WorkEmail].ToString();
wpInbox.MailboxName = "kristofdc";
wpInbox.OWAServerAddressRoot = "http://servername/exchange";return wpInbox;
}
4. Override the RenderWebPart method
protected override void RenderWebPart(HtmlTextWriter output)
{
try
{
wpInbox.RenderControl(output);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
output.Write(ex.ToString());
}}
5. And finally you will add a CAB-setup for your custom webpart.
6. Just compile, deploy and use !

Webpart which lists out all the subsites,for which the user has got permission

Following is the C# code which lists out the names and their links of all subsites which the user has got permissions.


protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
SPSite site = SPContext.Current.Site;
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();

SPWebCollection sites = web.GetSubwebsForCurrentUser();
foreach (SPWeb subSite in sites)
{
writer.Write(

subSite.Url
SPEncode.HtmlEncode(subSite.Title)
}
}



inside the writer. write, use a href and line breaks (br) properly so that subsite.url will come inside the a href and 'spencode.htmlencode(subsite.title)' will come in between the opening and closing tags of a href.

Adding a custom menu item

This describes how to add a custom menu to a document library.

Adding the Web Part to a Page

In SharePoint, navigate to a page with a document library web part on it, or add one to an existing page.
On the Modify Shared Page menu, point to Add Web Parts and click on Browse.
Drag the Content Editor Web Part from the tool pane onto the page, then click Open Tool Pane link in the web part.
In the Layout section clear the Visible on Page checkbox. This means the web part is not visible to the end-user, but the script we add to the web part is still delivered to the client browser. In the page design view, you can still see the web part, but it is marked as hidden. If you wish you can also change the title of the web part in the Appearance section of the tool pane.

From the tool pane, open the Source Editor and insert the following script:

function Custom_AddDocLibMenuItems(m, ctx)
{
var strDisplayText = "Custom Menu!";
var strAction = "alert('Custom Menu!')";
var strImagePath = "";

// Add our new menu item
CAMOpt(m, strDisplayText, strAction, strImagePath);

// add a separator to the menu
CAMSep(m);

// false means that the standard menu items should also be rendered
return false;
}


script language="javascript" should precede these codes

and closing scripts tag should proceede it.

Click Save in the Source Editor, and then click OK in the tool pane.
Now test the web part by opening a document library drop-down menu on the same page. You should see the new menu item at the top of the menu with a separator bar splitting it from the rest of the menu
