Hello,

Im using Update list item function in a workflow to move a document around mid workflow.

I tested the moving from main folder to sub folder but if i try to go back 1 folder it does not work and gives error.

Example:
folder structure is as follows: test1->in check, approved

New document is worked on test1
Signature process is started and document is moved from test1 to test1->in check

After it is approved it is moved from test1->in check to test1->approved at this stage the workflow gives a error.

Is it possible to move a document around with update list item field path and move like this?

If no is there another solution that would work?

I am using Client Object model for the forms authentication web application and I get 401 unauthorized error.
Tried with CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials but still no use. Please help me on this.

Thanks in Advance!


Below is my code

static void clientContext_ExecutingWebRequest(object sender, WebRequestEventArgs e)
        {
            e.WebRequestExecutor.WebRequest.Headers.Add("X-FORMS_BASED_AUTH_ACCEPTED", "f");
        }

        public static void AddDocSet(string siteUrl, string listName )
        {

            ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
        clientContext.ExecutingWebRequest += new EventHandler<WebRequestEventArgs>(clientContext_ExecutingWebRequest);
          clientContext.AuthenticationMode = ClientAuthenticationMode.Default;


         clientContext.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("XXXX", "XXX", "YYY");
            Web web = clientContext.Web;
            List list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(listName);

            clientContext.Load(clientContext.Site);

            clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

}

Not sure if this is an SP question or MS Access, but we have some SP 2010 linked lists in MS Access 2007. And, we query a specific list for a specific record, using VBA in an MS Word doc, that contains a bit of Lookup data. I believe it is less than it's lookup limit.

The issue we have for "some" users is that when the record is returned, one of the column values we ask for is blank. The best way to describe this is:

Computer A, BOB opens a VBA enabled doc which queries for a project record and the results are returned except stakeholder columns data is empty.

Computer B, Stan opens same VBA enabled doc which queries for the same project record and the results are returned correctly.

Computer A, Stan opens same VBA enabled doc which queries for the same project record and the results are returned except stakeholder columns data is empty.

I know we don't have column permissions in SP and I believe, we've had the issue come and go with user profile replacement, though it sounds like an MS Office issue.

I hope I was clear on the issue. Any Idea what is going on?

Hi,

I am trying to access a multiline text field using powershell. I am tring to use "GetFieldValueAsText" option.

I have tried the below code:

 foreach($item in $listItems)
    {
        Write-Host $item.Title


        $calculatedfield = $item.Fields["Test Notes"] -as [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldType]::Note;

        $item["Test Notes"] = $calculatedfield.GetFieldValueAsText($item["Test Notes"]);


        $item.SystemUpdate();

    }

I am getting the below error:

Cannot convert value "Note" to type "System.Type". Error: "Invalid cast from 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldType' to 'System.Type'."
At \RemoveCharacters.ps1:26 char:9+         $calculatedfield = $item.Fields["Test Notes"] -as [Microsoft. ...+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [], RuntimeException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidCastIConvertible

You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.
At \RemoveCharacters.ps1:28 char:9
+         $item["Test Notes"] = $calculatedfield.GetFieldValueAsText($i ...+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvokeMethodOnNull

How to fix this? How to use the option GetFieldValueAsText in powershell for multiline column?

Thanks

Hi,

I am new to Sharepoint 2010 and up to this point I have worked with Sharepoint designer 2010 but I have realised that sometimes it limits my work. 

For this reason, I need to start knowing how to develop a workflow (most probably an approval one) using visual studio 2010, I have searched on the Internet but I do not want ready made solutions or to copy paste code, I need a good tutorial. Do you have any ideas of a book a youtube video or something that is a good tutorial to start "playing with approval workflows in SP 2010 and VS 2010?

I'm using SP Foundation.

I started a new calendar (I've not been using SP 2010 for about 2 months so I'm a little rusty).

The calendar view says show all items in this view.  The All Events view is set up the same.

When I open up SP as J Doe and then me, and when I make a calendar item, J Doe cannot see it in Calendar view.  I want Doe and me to see all of our items in Calendar view, not just the All Events view.  The funny thing is though when I go to look at the view settings, for calendar it says Show All Items in This View, so that's why I cannot understand why both Doe and mine are not showing up for each other.

Please advise.

Hey All

Is there any way to close  SP.UI.ModalDialog when a user clicks outside the dialog box (Black transparent layer) above the base page ??

Hi,

I have a Content Type that inherits from Document Set and want to use a custom NewDocSet.aspx page.

I've followed the article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff512780.aspx and used PowerShell to point my Content Type to use that as its NewFormUrl and it picks up the custom NewDocSet page successfully (I've called mine CustomNewDocSet.aspx and it's located at the root of _Layouts.

But the only thing the CustomNewDocSet.aspx page displays is the Title of the List and the Title of the Content Type which is fairly useless (that is all the above article's code does).

What I'm looking for is a way to customise it further so it automatically shows all of the fields in my Content Type exactly how the out-of-the-box NewDocSet.aspx page does. Basically I want to mimic how the NewDocSet.aspx page works then add some JavaScript to it (which I'll be fine with).

Does anyone have any idea how I can do this?

Thanks

I have a  horrible problem with SP 2010 document library versioning.  I accidentally left some libraries with versioning enabled when I was programmatically updating metadata.  I ran out of space  on my (hosted) site, and discovered that everytime the metadata was modified in any way,  SP made a new version and created an entire new image of the document in the database.  I discovered the API command SPFile.Versions.DeleteAll() and thought - great.  I ran it on all my documents and now I am really up the creek.  It removed the document version history, but the files still take up the same amount of space.  I think this is a SharePoint bug, and the files' records were not removed from the AllDocStreams table.  I am not 100% certain, since I don't have direct access to the content db, but enumsites reports exactly the same amount of storage used after "DeleteAll()".  Since this is a hosted site, this is an expensive problem.  Has anyone heard of this happening?

Is there a smart way to change a versioned library to unversioned (zero retained) and get ALL the storage back?

Hello Techies,
I have a webpartwhere there are fields like:

• Year(DropDown)
• Month(DropDown)
• Employer(txtbox)
• CTClakhs(txtbox)
• CTCthousand(txtbox)
• Currency(Dropdown)

Here i got the requirement like if Year and Month values are "0" then I need to disable and reset the values of other fields say Employer,CTClakhs,CTCThousandsand Currency
so for this I wrote the validations in javascript which are called onChange event of Year and Month dropdowns

 function clearFunction() {

        if (document.getElementById('ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_form1_ddlYears').value == 0 && document.getElementById('ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_form1_ddlMonth').value == 0) {
            document.getElementById('ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_form1_txtEmployer').value = "";
            document.getElementById('ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_form1_txtLacs').value = "";
            document.getElementById('ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_form1_txtThousand').value = "";
            document.getElementById("ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_form1_ddlCurrency").selectedIndex = 0;
            //document.getElementById("ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_form1_ddlCurrency").value = 0;
            document.getElementById('ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_form1_txtEmployer').disabled = true;
            document.getElementById('ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_form1_txtLacs').disabled = true;
            document.getElementById('ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_form1_txtThousand').disabled = true;
            document.getElementById("ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_form1_ddlCurrency").disabled = true;

        }
        else {

                            document.getElementById('ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_form1_txtEmployer').disabled = false;
                            document.getElementById('ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_form1_txtLacs').disabled = false;
                            document.getElementById('ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_form1_txtThousand').disabled = false;
                            document.getElementById('ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_form1_ddlCurrency').disabled = false;

        }

But here values of all the fields are getting reset except Currency dropdown 
Later I check the value of Currency through console and the value was getting reset but it was not reflected in UI (still shows selected value)

Here I wanted to reset the value of Currency dropdown :( :( 

Again for this i tried to achieve .cs file and made the change on .ascx file like

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="OuterUpdatePanel" runat="server"  UpdateMode="Conditional"><ContentTemplate><tr class="contactForm twoSelects"><td><label for="exp">

.cs code 

protected void drp_Commoncleardata(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if ((ddlMonth.SelectedValue == "0") && (ddlYears.SelectedValue == "0"))
            {
                ddlCurrency.ClearSelection();
            }

        }

the above code is also not helping me 
Please help and let me know what needs to be done to reset DropDown selection 

Hi All,

We have a requirement when a user submits adds a new item in a SharePoint list, that item should go for a review to a particular group of user, post their approval only the data should show up in the SharePoint list.

Do you think this can be implemented ? Looking for a Designer workflow as work no access to coding.

Please guide.

Hi there,

I've created 2 custom site workflows via Visual Studio.  When I deploy the solution via Visual Studio....the workflows are available for me to use and execute without issues.

But when I deploy them via powershell, the workflows do no appear and are not available in the site workflow list.

Uninstall-SPSolution -Identity "abc.wsp"
Remove-SPSolution –Identity "abc.wsp" -force
Add-SPSolution -LiteralPath "E:\Deployments\abc.wsp"
Install-SPSolution –Identity abc.wsp  -GACDeployment

I've attempted to deactivate/activate the feature via powershell and site settings.....i've restarted iis a dozen times.....

I've also monitored the ULS while deploying/installing the solution.....no errors.

What is Visual Studio doing that I'm not?

Thanks,
Eric

We have web application under SharePoint 2010. PDf documents are stored in SharePoint sites. SharePoint site is deployed on the server. Our requirement is  when users are going to browse the SharePoint site from their Client machine with the click of Print button on the SharePoint site they should be able to print pdf documents using client machine’s default printer.

We are ready to purchase third party dll or solution to achieve the above requirement.
