I'm wondering if there's a way for an administrator to set up alertsfor other users. I'm pretty sure SharePoint can't do this out of thebox - but does anyone know how I could make this happenprogramatically?
We've been looking for one too, the closest thing we found is this product:shop.sharepointsolutions.com/...-manager-1000.aspxThe only issue for us is it doesn't work with SPS, only WSS. If you are only using WSS, then this would work for you. They have stated that they are going to work on an enhancement to support SPS, but they don't have a time frame on when it will be ready anymore.
I use this on my WSS site and works well.weblogs.asp.net/jan/archive/2004/03/27/97335.aspx
Just to clarify - it will work on WSS sites under a portal site, correct? (Just not on the portal site itself.)
I don't know if it will work on the WSS sites under a portal site. I'd ask the company if that's supported.I'm going to try the other one as well, we might be able to take it and use it for what we need to do.
There are a couple of alert web parts as well:www.ideseg.com/...lertManAlertManagerWebparts.aspxweblogs.asp.net/jan/archive/2004/03/27/97335.aspx
