Sharepoint task list and Outlook sync

问题

I am trying to sync Sharepoint task list with Outlook. When the users connect the task list to outlook, the task for all users are visible in outlook. Rather than applying filtering in Outlook, can I provide a filtering at the source itself? There are considerable number of users for my application, it wouldn't be good to ask all users to apply filters on their own.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

I`v asked the same question: Sync list with outlook only with items in current view.. In this case it was possible to use stssync protocol to do whatever you want. It takes much effort (luckily someone already wrote an implementation)

But there was another solution i ended up using - implementing a wrapper for Lists.asmx webservice and rewriting outlook requests (by using custom Global.asax file) to use this new webservice instead of Lists.asmx, that only queries specific view in a list.

if (ctx.Request.UserAgent.Contains("Microsoft Office Outlook") && path.ToLower().IndexOf("_vti_bin/lists.asmx") >= 0)
            {
                ctx.RewritePath("/_layouts/OutlookLists.asmx");
            }  

I'm not sure you would want a solution like this. If you do, you may ask and i may publish the solution source for the webservice, however i'm not using this webservice myself anymore. And you could use it as a draft, not a production ready code.

The source has been published on CodePlex.

Regarding to the script problem

I don't know why list id isn't being replaced by view id. I tried to run the function within script console (F12 for IE8/9)

>> var menuItems = document.getElementsByTagName('ie:menuitem');
for (var i = 0; i < menuItems.length; i++) {
        itm = menuItems(i);
        if (itm.id.match('OfflineButton') != null) {
            console.log('listName:' + ctx.listName.toLowerCase() + 'viewName:' + ctx.view.toLowerCase());
            if (ctx != null && ctx.listName != null && ctx.view != null) {
                console.log('Inside if block');
                //Replace listId to viewId being used so outlook will query only items in current view.
                //Must have custom web service in place to handle that request, because it iwll not work OOTB.
        console.log("Before: " + itm.onMenuClick);
                itm.onMenuClick = itm.onMenuClick.replace(ctx.listName.toLowerCase(), ctx.view.toLowerCase());
        console.log("After: " + itm.onMenuClick);
                break;
            }
        }
    }

As you can see, the function argument (third one) has been replaced with a view id instead of list id.

Don't forget to remove console.log statements before deploying, because if IE doesn't have web developer tools, javascript will crash there.

Were these tasks created from a workflow? this is a known issue with SharePoint 2007.

You could try setting the read/edit permissions to "only their own", but i think that breaks approval/alerts from working

I believe the problem is fixed in SharePoint 2010, i think tasks get created with fine-grained permissions per task.
