In the Reminder WebPart of the PWA Homepage, we can see different sections
displaying the Tasks (coming from the Project plans), the Timesheets, and
Issues and Risks (from WSS lists). I have been asked to change the PWA
Homepage to add a webpart similar to the “Reminders†webpart that would
inform the users that they have been assigned Tasks in the different Project
Workspaces (WSS lists). From this new WebPart, I want to be able to “link†to
a new custom page that would be almost exactly the same as the
“IssueRiskCenter.aspxâ€.
I was wondering what would be the best way of doing it.
Here is what I am about to do:
1) The “WSSTaskReminder†webpart would be a very simple WebPart that will
figure out if the user is assigned to tasks in the different Project
Workspace. I will use either the List.asmx webservice or the WSS Object model
to get the information I need. I still have to decide… any recommendations ?
2) For the custom page (similar to “IssueRiskCenter.aspxâ€), I am a little
confused..
• I could develop another webpart and get the information I need, again
using the list.asmx web service. I would create a new WebPart page (Site
action..Create…) and insert my webpart. But the problem I have with that is
that the Navigation Menu (left menu in PWA) will not be displayed.
• My second option, is that I could create a new aspx page using the
pwa.master and inherit from PJWebPage and do whatever I have to do to get the
info I need. Since I am lazy, I would copy the code from
“Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.ApplicationPages.IssueRiskCenterPageâ€.
I am also wondering if it is “safe†to work with the
“Microsoft.Office.Project.PWAâ€, “Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.CommonControlsâ€
and “Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.GridStructs†assemblies. Am I going to be
in trouble when the much anticipated “SP1†comes out ?
Am I missing something really easy ? Is there any other way to get that
done ??
Thank you all for any help.
