Project Description
This is a project for SharePoint 2007 Features. Features add new functionality to a SharePoint 2007 farm, site collection, or site. This project will create Features to address deficiencies in SharePoint 2007 or add new capabilities. You should understand a little about Features before trying these out. The packages here use batch files or WSP files to install the Features. After installation, be sure to activate the Features to see them in SharePoint.
If you want to contribute Features to this project, please contact Scot Hillier at scot@shillier.com.
NOTE: The source code for all the features is available on the Releases tab. We are not using CodePlex TFS because we had issues with it, so the code is a simple ZIP file download.

Log Viewer
This is a Feature for viewing the Unified Logging Service (ULS) logs from within Central Admin
Print List
This Feature adds a "Print List" menu item to the "Actions" menu for every list in the site collection. This version adds a blank master page, view selection, and a code-behind assembly.
Toolbar Manager
This Feature allows you to selectively show and hide menu items on the standard list/library toolbar. The feature adds a new web part to the gallery that you can place on any list/library view page. Once placed on the page, you can use the properties of the web part to show or hide menu items. This is the perfect solution for hiding a single menu item such as “Export to Spreadsheet” to prevent users from taking that action.
Unique Column Policy (updated 3/3/2008)
This Feature creates a new Information Policy that allows you to specify a column in a list or library that should have unique values. It is accessible from the Information Policy link on the list/library settings page. When you turn on the policy, you can then select the column where the unique constraint should be applied.

Debug Config Feature
This Feature uses a custom Feature Event Receiver to update the Web.config. It can disable Custom Errors and enable Debugging And Stack Trace In WSS.
Global Web.config Feature

This feature applies some of the most requested modifications such as connectionStrings, appSettings, membership and providers to the Web.config files. The Feature was contributed by Reza Alirezaei.
Minimal Master
This Feature adds a new master page to the gallery named "minimal.master". This master page removes all of the chrome and is a good starting point for your own master page.
Minimal Publishing Site
This Feature adds a new site template with the minimal items necessary to support publishing. Install and activate the feature to use the new template.
Placeholder Master

Silverlight (.NET 3.5) Config Feature
This Feature makes all the Web.config modification to support 3.5 framework so you can can easily deploy the Silverlight for SharePoint BluePrint . The Feature was contributed by Reza Alirezaei.
Regular Expression Validation Field (Added 6/11/2008)
This feature creates a new field type that accepts a Regular Expression and then uses it to validate the field contents. This feature was created by Gael Duhamel.
Reset Theme (Updated 9/2/2008)

This is similar to storing appSettings in the web.config file, but the values are stored in the SharePoint database. The utility is available through a link on the Operations tab of Central Administration. The Release Notes contain more information on how developers should write code to access these values.
Manage Application Configuration Feature (Added 12/9/2008)
This feature takes the Manage Hierarchical Object Store feature and modifies it.
There are two major differences:
1. This feature allows you to specify app settings at the site collection, site and list level (and not the web application level).
