View of an agenda as of a given date.

We use the standard Agenda webpart.  It is a basically a document list.  We have versioning turned on.  We want to look at the agenda as it was on a particular date.  We would like to do this in one action as opposed to reverting all of the individual agenda items to that date individually to create the view.  Has anyone done that?  Thanks.

InfoPath Form Prompts User to "Keep" or "Replace" Despite Auto-upgrade Selection

$

I saw a similar post with no real answer, so I'm posting again.

I have an InfoPath form template published to a SharePoint site.  On the form, I have on version change set to "Auto upgrade" and it works 99% of the time.  However, occassionally, the end user will get the Form Template Conflict prompt and will have to choose to keep or replace the form.  I have educated them to always select "replace" however there are some users that still keep.  I update the dates on the form each week, so it is necessary that they replace.

Any ideas on what could be causing the form to not auto-upgrade?  I have not found any consistency on users getting the prompt, seems to be random.

Send email action does not work in Workflow

$

I have created a very simple workflow designed to Automatically send an email to a particular address when a document is added to a particular document library OR when the Status field is changed for an existing document in that same library.  The workflow was built in SPD.  The workflow appears to be working correctly at the SharePoint site (all the Workflow status indicators change as expected from In-Progress to Completed) and no error messages are displayed.  However, the emails are never sent, even if the workflow is initiated manually.  (Though in my very initial test of the workflow, the manual initiation DID work, though I have not been able to duplicate that since).  The site technicians assure me it is not an SMTP issue, and on their recommendation I have re-created new document libraries and re-created the workflow numerous times after they performed a reset at the site.  The problem is not related to the SP1 problem that appears to have caused this issue according to other posts.  Both myself and our site support personnel are totally baffled.  None of the proposed solutions in threads relating similar problems have worked.  After spending nearly a week diagnosing and attempting to resolve this issue, we are considering abandoning SharePoint altogether and moving to some other collaborative environment if this seemingly simple functionality cannot be employed.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to filter Content Query Webpart based on Page fields or Something in the contenttype

$

Can someone explain me if it is possible to filter a content query webpart based on the value of a Page field.

 

I want to get the following done:

 

Make a Page layout in Sharepoint Designer.

Add a Content query webpart as a control in the pagelayout file.

The Content query webpart shows a custom list.

 

The content query webpart must be filtered. 

 

Option 1:

Can I filter based on a metadata field of the Page ?

How do I get the value of the metadata field into my Content query webpart ?

 

Option2:

Can I filter based on a Page Field that exists on the same page as the Content query webpart ?

How do I get the value of the PageField into my Content query webpart ?

 

Option 3

Are there any other ways of dynamic filtering the content query webpart?

And without coding your own controls ?

 

Thanx Bert

 

Unexpected error on server associating the workflow

I have an old Designer-created custom workflow that required the addition of a new condition/action.  I edited it and when I clicked the Finish button, I received:  Unexpected error on server associating the workflow .

I tried adding the timeout attribute in the web.config that I have seen mentioned in articles on the web, but no luck.  I see no other solutions suggested.  Anyone have any idea how I might get past this? 


There are no mistakes; every result tells you something of value about what you are trying to accomplish.

Conditional formatting using an 60 day window from date column

$
0
0

I have read a few postings regarding my questions but I am still not sure how to modify the code for my use.

I have a date column [DateOut] that I want to use for some conditional formatting in SPD. Basically if an list item where the [Current Date] is 50 days after the [DateOut] then format. I can set the formatting just can't figure how to add/minus the 50 days against the [Current Date] or [DateOut].

eg

If [DateOut] < [Current Date] - 50 days, then format.

I have read similar articles but can't get it right.

“<xsl:if test="number(translate(@date1,'-','')) &gt; number(translate(substring-before($Today,'T'),'-',''))">your format</xsl:if>”

OR

<xsl:if test="ddwrt:FormatDateTime(string($Today), 1033, d) > ddwrt:FormatDateTime(string(@StartDate), 1033, d) + 3">

Here is my current ADV code without the 50 day offset

ddwrt:DateTimeTick(ddwrt:GenDisplayName(string($thisNode/@DateOut))) < ddwrt:DateTimeTick(ddwrt:GenDisplayName(string($Today)))
If someone can help either with the code that goes into the page or what to put into the Advanced Conditioning window would be great.

upload infopath form .xsn file to a form template document library

$

I have an infopath form - Non browser-enabled one.
In our top site, under all site content, In document libraries, there is a one called Form Templates.
Then in it there are two folders. One internal the other Public. I would like to upload my new infopath form to the internal folder.
I do it by directly upload the .xsn file from my local computer, and it shows in the form template library.
Then I log off , I click the new form just loaded, then i got access denied error.
This is a site with anonymous access. Everyone should open it. All other files can be open OK
 If I login as my system admin account, it works fine.
What does it mean? Do I need to publish it first? Or I just need to upload the .xsn file to the library.
If I need to publish it, how can it be uploaded to the form libarary?
Thanks

Sharepoint: Prepopulating colum using column from another list

Hi,

I would just like to inquire if this is possible, and if so please advise.

I want to create a new list called "Yearly Project Dashboard." I already created a "Monthly Project Dashboard". I want to export data from the columns Project name and Project Manager from Monthly Project Dashboard and then import that onto the new Yearly Project Dashboard.

I tried using the look up funtion but that would require using a drop down list to fill it in. I want both the Project Name and the Project Manager to be prepopulated and on the same row - aligning with their respective projects and project managers.

Thank you,

Mark William

Sharepoint breaking out of IFrame

$

Hello,

I'm looking into running sharepoint in an IFrame through my existing asp.net website.  For the most part this works fine.  However, whenever I use a link in the navigation tree on the lefthand side of the page, sharepoint breaks out of the IFrame and takes over the broswer window (It doesn't open a new window though).  None of the links elsewhere on the sharepoint pages seem to have this effect, only the ones in the left hand tree.  I'm under the impression I can hide this tree by modifying the master page and hiding the content panel, but it is usefull to have it in the Document Center.
Does anybody know of a way to change the behaviour of the tree so it stays inside the IFrame?
Hopefully this is the right forum for this question.
Thanks for any suggestions,

Tony.

One form or two?

Hello all, I am in the planning phase of my form.  I have identified all the data elements that will be used on the form and in the library.  We need to have a public version that can be emailed and a private version that will have several data connections (lookup data in a list and so on).  Will I need two forms or can this be done using one?  The public version will travel outside our domain so I am assuming all the receive data connections will fail.

Displaying Workflow Tasks

I want to be abke to display all tasks (workflow & non-workflow) that are assigned to a particular user. 

As an example, I click down from my top-level site to a team site and then to a document workspace.  On the document workspace an approval workflow is kicked off.  I want the user is is assigned the task in the workflow to see it as soon as they view their tasks from the team site.  Currently it does not show up there.  Even when I log in as a Site Owner and View all Tasks, I cannot get it get to show up on any view. I have to drilldown to the document workspace and click tasks to see it.  Is there a way to see it from a higher level site?

 

Thank you kindly for your guidance.
