SharePoint Shop Talk continues with our 14th session tomorrow at 12:30PM EDT. This is a free ranging and open Q&A session free to everyone that wants to attend. Dial in and ask questions or start a discussion on a topic of your choosing. This week we’re definitely going to talk about: Best practices around search scopes, crawling content, schedules, etc. Data view web part and “current user” difficulties (DVWP is a weekly favorite). Someone wants to talk about “Why pay thousands for a marketing list” from a Shop Talk newcomer, “185165@video.wokr13.com”. This one should be interesting. Very interesting. I’ll also be performing a SharePoint magic trick you won’t want to miss! If you have any questions, fire them off to questions@sharepointshoptalk.com, leave a comment or buzz me on twitter (@pagalvin).

I’m very excited to announce that Natalya Voskresenskaya, my fellow SharePoint MVP and partner (with far less help from me than she deserved) is launching a new user group devoted to enterprise search based on Microsoft technology. As a practical matter, this boils down to SP 2010 search and a lot of talk about FAST, especially in our first session. Natalya and I have written a lot about FAST over the last year on our blogs (Natalya has more and better stuff than I!). Our first meeting is coming up in just a few weeks in New York at Microsoft’s newly renovated offices on 6th near Rock Center. If you’re in New York on 12/9, you have no excuse not to make an appearance. Likewise for you Jersey people. Connecticut people can stay home (just kidding!). NY/NJ/CT people should skip this paragraph. We also plan to record the session and run a live web session so if you live outside the tri-state area, you should be able to tune in. I’ll blog about this some more as ...17 days ago

If you have questions or topics that you’d like the panel to discuss, send them by email to questions@sharepointshoptalk.com or twitter them to me (pagalvin). I’m badly rushed for time this week, so I’ll leave it at that. I usually like to preview some of the already-emailed questions.

Note: this was first posted at www.endusersharepoint.com here: http://www.endusersharepoint.com/2009/11/02/comparing-dates-in-a-data-view-web-part-to-build-a-wss-kpi-in-sharepoint/ . This is yet another blog post on comparing dates in XSL in a data view web part in SharePoint. This is my scenario: I have a custom list. The business purpose of the list is to support the idea of a new employee and his/her tasks to be completed within 7 days of starting the job. They are in a “warning zone” after 4 days if they have not completed these tasks. I want to create a simple dashboard that shows green when they have either completed the task or if they have more than 4 days to complete it. I want the dashboard to show yellow if they are in the warning zone. I want to to show red if they have not completed the task after the due date. I borrowed from this article at Marc Anderson’s blog ...
