GroupBoard Workspace: Bad

I’ve encountered two problems since installing the Microsoft GroupBoard Workspace. One was causing the week-view of the calendar to give an error. The second was anytime I tried to add a content database, I’d get the error:

The specified SPContentDatabase Name=SharePoint_Content Parent=SPDatabaseServiceInstance has been upgraded to a newer version of SharePoint. Please upgrade this SharePoint application server before attempting to access this object.

There was nothing in SharePoint to upgrade, we’ve already installed the most up-to-date service packs. I found that the problem was the GroupBoard Workspace. Once I un-installed it, as suggested by GPK2005 on the Microsoft TechNet forum, I was able to add my content database without issues.

Thank you GPK2005.

Site Directory is Petarded

I’m using trying to use the Site Directory Template. Out of the box, it creates “categories” for Division and Region. Of course I want to use my own categories and I remove those for my own. Being of a database driven mentality, I of course make my columns lookup columns to be driven from list values that I’ll be using over and over throughout my site; Department and Location. So why can’t I get these new columns to show up in the “Categories” tab?

Because only “choice” columns are made into Categories. And those choices are “hard coded” inside the column definition.

Grrrrr.
