Office 2007 document mapping and support for TS Projects in the Sharepoint Portal

While embarking on a project to create DNN modules with Visual Studio Team System developoment lifecycle support, I noticed that the Sharepoint Team Portal that is created for a project uses Office documents in an older version.

SPS is nothing more than an application that runs over IIS, I imagined that someone should have already created a mapping workaround. Luckily David Overtone and MVP from the UK has already done it in this post. Although the process is manual, it supports displaying Office 2007 icons and document mappings in Sharepoint in 3-4 easy steps:

  1. Load the icon library into the SPS web extensions directory.
  2. Adding mappings for the icons in the corresponding SPS XML file.
  3. Running a vbscript to register the MIME types in the metabase of IIS.
  4. (optional) Disable ReadOnly when clicking Open in the browser.
