Re: Missing Modified field in site

2014-09-28 Thread Shahram Banihashem
Hi Paul,

Searching into files in hive for the guid will probably tells you which
feature they are coming from and also whether the fields feature has the
definition of not. Besides, you should be fine if you add the missing
fields yourself as long as you keep the definition the same (including name
and guid).

Regards,

Shahram.

  Hi all,



 No idea how this might’ve occurred but I’ve just realised that the
 *Modified* field is missing in a particular site.



 All other sites contain both fields as expected.



 *Name
 InternalName   Id*


 

 Modified
 Last_x0020_Modified   173f76c8-aebd-446a-9bc9-769a2bd2c18f

 Modified
 Modified  28cf69c5-fa48-462a-b5cd-27b6f9d2bd5f



 Does anyone know if running the config wizard or force-activating the
 *fields* feature might fix this?



 Otherwise is there any major harm in recreating it myself using the same
 definition?

415 Error, Unsupported Media Type on TMG/WAC

2014-02-20 Thread Shahram Banihashem
Hi All,

We have a single server office web app 2013 (WAC) farm installed internally
which works with SharePoint 2013 Enterprise with no problem. I checked the
health status and it was reported as healthy.

We exposed this environment with TMG for external users which provides
single sign on functionality using Forefront TMG form based login page by
assigning a single listener to all 3 published webs (SharePoint Portal, My
Site and WAC).

Everything works great except when I try to open a PowerPoint file on the
browser (PowerPoint Web App). It tries for a while and then ends up with
following error:

*Either you've lost network connectivity or our server is too busy to
handle your request. Please check your network connection and try again
later.*

Looking at TMG logs, Request Status 415 (Unsupported Media Type) is logged
with no more details. Similar error was found numerous time in ULS on WAC
server.

I couldn't find any hind by googling this problem. Any idea where the
problem is sitting?

Again, this problem happens for PowerPoint files only, Word, Excel and
OneNote are all fine.

Regards,

Shahram.

Re: Refresh a Choice or Lookup Field without losing Form Data

2013-07-30 Thread Shahram Banihashem
Hi Nigel,

I would go with Managed Metadata field and open Termset since SharePoint
provides the exact interface you need for this requirement. It's much
cleaner than look up to a list.
In case of using a Choice Field, you need to update the column definition
which is not an ideal solution specially if user needs to update an
existing option (typo or change of mind) later down the track. I found that
the update to options will not be pushed through automatically to list
items already using the old option, however with MM field that's not a
problem.

Regards,

Shahram.

 Hey Guys,

 About to start googling it, but thought I would drop an email around first
 to see if there are any suggestions.

 I have a user requirement to provide a dropdown on new/edit item forms
 that allows the user to add a new dropdown option on the fly. I would
 personally prefer it to be a choice field, but I understand that perhaps a
 lookup field might better suit.

 So the point being the user uploads a document, fills out the form up to a
 certain dropdown, discovers the dropdown doesnt have the option he/she
 requires, is able to add the option to the dropdown and select it, and
 continue completing the form.

 OOTB with choice and lookup they would have to close the form, go and add
 the new option to the choice field or the source list, then edit the
 uploaded documents properties and set the metadata.

 I know I could achieve this with Managed Metadata and an open termset, but
 I dont really want to create a termset for all the dropdowns.

 So, any suggestions?

 Cheers,

 Nigel

Re: Crawling files in external application

2013-05-30 Thread Shahram Banihashem
The document URL is exposed as a property. But I have a feeling that
SharePoint crawler take the URL as plain text since it comes as
system.string field.
So, the question is how to let the crawler know this is a hyperlink and
required to be indexed. SharePoint designer doesn't let you change the
field type when creating the external content type from SQL database. SQL
Server doesn't seem to have any kind of field type to be translated as such
either.

Shahram.

 Not sure where the block is occurring.

 When you create you external content type, you can create a profile page
 which displays the item properties (metadata). This form is similar to
 'View Properties' page. The same form will be displayed if you click on the
 identifier field on the External List.

 Anyway, the search crawler indexes items and its properties in my
 external list with no error. They appear on search results properly. But I
 need the crawler to index the associated document to each item as well.

 I have exposed the document URL as one of the properties but it seams the
 crawler doesn't traverse through the document URL.

 Look like the URL appears as text Search Crawler.

 Do u get results on a search results page using OOTB web part?

 Have u considered a custom render template to format the non-SharePoint

 In case it helps, the external application is TechnologyOne ECM.

Re: SP2010 - Mysites

You may allow the users to personalize the pages. So, they can update existing 
pages and the changes will be seen by only themselves.

 Hi Guys,
 
 I am implementing a BI solution in SP2010, .
 
 One of the requirement is
 Users can customise their own page so that they can put 
 information/reports/dashboards they use frequently in one place for easy, 
 immediate access.
 
 One colleague suggested MySites for this.. will this work, as mysites will be 
 in a separate web application, will users have access to reports/dashboards 
 etc from it.
 
 Else I am thinking we let users create a page in the portal and then 
 customize it, but don't publish it so only they can see their page.
 
 Please suggest

Hi Paul,
The CreatechildControls method creates the controls on runtime when the web 
part is rendered, not when it is provisioned.
You’re resetting the Chrome type every time you display the web part.
You can define custom settings when you are provisioning the web part as part 
of a web template, or in a feature activated event receiver, I’m not sure how 
would you go about defining the default chrome for a particular web part 
though…. Anyone?
Cheers,

Hi all,
I’m sure I’ve done something silly but I’m unable to change the chrome settings 
for a custom web part via the UI.
They always revert to what I’ve defined in CreateChildControls.
protectedoverride void CreateChildControls()
    {
    if (!error)
    {
    try
    {
 
base.CreateChildControls();
    this.ChromeType = PartChromeType.TitleOnly;
    Table table = new Table();
    // etc...  
row.Controls.Add(cell);
    table.Controls.Add(row);
    this.Controls.Add(table);
Is there a simple way to prevent this?
 
Kind regards,
