I think this method is now obsolete. You need to use Google Sites.

1. System already supports bigger icons (please check admin section) and tooltips
2. Please elaborate about the settings
3. Header/footer height could be adjusted via custom.css – please refer to FAQ page for the theme in codex
4. Clock can be added by means of creating a new module
5. I am not planning to support dynamic thumb sizes – closest you can get when using “actual” thumb aspect

Bigger nav icons. 28px like in the other GD version would do nicely. With hover over text in a balloon that explains what it is and what it does.
Separate the settings for albums displayed per page versus pictures displayed in an album per page. Right now it’s global.
More header space for a larger logo image. Wouldn’t hurt to make the footer just a bit taller also.
A clock either in the footer or as an add-on to the sidebar.
Be able to adjust the size of the thumb and the frame to fit. Keeping the thumb perspective where it’s set already.

It’s fine as it is but if I was asked to tweak it just a bit, those would be at the top of my list.

i finally got it working. this was a typical microsoft implementation project – third…or fourth time is the charm!

there is a step i missed one or two of the install attempts:

make sure you edit the rsmgrpolicy.config file in the following way…

change:

PermissionSetName=”Execute”

PermissionSetName=”FullTrust”

on the codegroup for the MyComputer zone.

also of note, the codeplex download of the sample authentication project for x64 2008r2 now contains the correct reference to ReportService2010.asmx and there should be no need to adjust that. however, to be sure, do a search on the entire project for ReportService2005.asmx and make sure nothing shows up. you should have one reference to ReportService2010.asmx in the AuthenticationUtilities.cs file on or about line 42.

so now that i finally have a windows authentication version and a forms authentication version, i am reading that ReportBuilder will only work with windows authentication only. do you also know that to be true, or am i mistaken on that.

again, many thanks, and i appreciate the opportunity to be able to post on your blog.

Comment on TIP: Installing SQL Server 2008 – reboot required check fails by Rich

Good call. Mine was failing because of a user logged in over RDP who had printer redirection turned on. The reg key points to the culprit.

Well done.

thanks for the info. i really am trying everything on this to get it working. the application event log also shows an asp.net 2.0 error with the error being “Request for the permission of type ‘System.Web.AspNetHostingPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089? failed.” so the failure in reporting services log is also showing up as asp.net in the computer’s main event log. this is confusing to me because since 2008r2 reporting services does not use IIS, and all my experience with working with asp.net involved IIS, i have no idea where to look for the fix for this failure.

i am right now reinstalling mssql, so i am going to give it another shot from the beginning and see where i end up.

many thanks for your attention to my posts…

`Client found response content type of ”, but expected ‘text/xml’ –> is a general error that can point to different things.
In my case it pointed to RSSrvPolicy.config file, where several typo-s were found ( Groups ). I retyped the settings from the start; rebooted SSRS and it started to work. .. so I recommend to verify the entries in this file.

Sorry, my earlier reply was intended for Dánechka.
But anyone there…. please let me know if someone has done this for anonymous users.
