Add items in another list

I have 2 lists A and B,list A has a custom newform, in this newform i want to provide 2 sections, one section has textboxes which saves the items in the current list ie A, and another set of textboxes needs to save the item in list B,
In short i should be able to save the items values in 2 different lists at my will.

OOB, You can do that in infopath form

Or
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/22360/single-form-for-multiple-lists
you need to write a event receiver
In easier to implement option than an event receiver is a Workflow, triggered by the first list, to insert data from that entry into another list.
This can be easily built using SharePoint Designer

Update one list item to another list using WF

hi
i have a SP Designer workflow which copies one list item to another list
but if i edit the 1st list this will copy a new item to another list i want the same item to be edited without making a new copy of the item.
Alen Austin

so in the workflow separate between on edit and on new item, so mostly you will need to either do checking and have variable saved to know if you are editing only, or create 2 workflows one when you add new item and other when u edit (if needed)

How to check if a list contains items from another list

Hi all,
I am trying to check whether a text list contains items form
another list and then do something. I tried:
tlist contains text phrases (e.g., test1,test2,test3)
phrases = ["test1","test2"]
n = phrases.count()
tList.getPos(phrases.item[n])
alert("should not be inluded in the list")
But it is not working any ideas why?

myPhrase is the loop index, but instead of a numerical index
(like n in your sample), myPhrase is set equal to each item in the
phrases list, first item to last. So, on the first iteration
myPhrase = “test1”, on the second iteration myPhrase =
“test2”. The loop automatically exits when the end of
the list is reached. The Director help docs have more information
on this syntax under “repeat”
BTW: if you're more comfortable using a numerical index, the
syntax for getting at the n-th item in a list is list[n], or in
your sample phrases[n]

How to add item to a List with a bounded wildcard

Hi,
Is there a way to add a subtype instance to a List with a bounded wildcard? For example, say I have an
abstract class called Car. Then I have 2 concrete subclasses--Ford and Toyota. Now say I have another
class that contains a prepopulated list and is wildcard bounded like this: List<? extends Car> carList. I
want to add a method where I pass in a Car subtype as a parameter and then add it into this list, e.g:
public void addCar(Car car) {
carList.add(car);
Trying this, I keep getting "cannot find symbol" compilation errors. When I went back to read the Generics
tutorial by Bracha, he mentions that explicitly adding a subtype, e.g. carList.add(new Ford()), can not be
done. But here I'm adding the "upper bound" of the wildcard, i.e. the Car type. Therefore there should be no
discrepancy between supertype and subtype an thus the carList.add(car) should be ok, IMO.
Am I misunderstanding something with this logic? Also, if carList.add(car) can not be done, then how can
I go about doing something similar which will allow me to add subtypes to a "generic" list?
Thanks in advanced!

I get a compilation error expecting an Object instead of a Car. Of course you did. List<? super Car> is a list into which you can put cars -- and possibly other stuff. List<? extends Car> is a list out of which you can get cars (possibly of different makes).
Do you need a list that you can put cars in and get cars out? That's List<Car>
This isn't a linguistic problem you are having; this is a design problem. If you have a function that takes an argument which is a list that you can put any kind of car into and be sure of getting a car out of, it isn't reasonable to pass in a List<Ford> (because the function might put in a Chevy) or a List<Object> (but there might be motorcycles already in there). By the requirements you have, you need a List<Car> and nothing else.
Yes, you could use a cast, but all you are doing is circumventing the type system by saying "I know this List<Object> only has Cars in it."

SPListItem deleting save the list item into another list.

Hi Friends,
Using SPList Item deleting event receiver ,before deleting the item I want save the list item to the another SharePoint list.
How can we do this using event receivers.Please help me anyone.
Thanks,
Tiru
Tiru

Before delete the item, use the below logic
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1075323/copy-list-items-from-one-list-to-another-in-sharepoint
or
You can do this by 2 workflows one creating list item by copying and second workflow on the copied item which will delete the original list item.

Unable to add items to dropdown list using javascript

Hi,
I'm trying to add additional items to a dropdown list at runtime using javascript.
I'm doing this by invoking the addItem method on the dropdown list field during its initialize event.
However when I run the generated pdf in Acrobat Pro, I get the following error in the console -
GeneralError: Operation failed.
XFAObject.addItem:3:XFA:form1[0]:#subform[0]:field0[0]:initialize
Method: 'addItem' cannot be called because doing so would violate this document's permissions settings.
The pdf form has no signatures or any other stuff in it.
What additional permissions do I need to add and how ?
You can view the pdf here -
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8022836/xfa3_test.pdf
Thanks,
Joel

Is there a reason to use the code you did? It looks like the problem is with the variable's permissions when going through the template.
This code works just fine in that same event:
this.addItem("new item");
As does:
var f = xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform1[0].field0");
f.additem("new item");

Cant add item ih the list

Problem i have is with method called wordMenu() which is inside method called show(). Problem is that last line of method wordMenu() should add newly created words to the mDatabase.
If i use method listWords() (SWITCH 3) i see newly added words on the bottom of the list which is intended. But they never appear if i run the game test again (SWITCH 1). Those newly created words by user should
be added to the mDatabase and program should be able to use them to create new random word list for test.
I dont understand why newly created words appear if i just list words by method from switch 3 but they do not appear in new test-switch1, can someone help me understand and fix this problem with my program.

Because you're using 2 word databases, when you apparently want only one.
The mDatabase in your Menu class is used for adding the words and displaying, but in your TestGenerator class you create another mDatabase to be used for creating the random tests.

Component to allow the user to build a list from another list's items

Hello everybody,
I'm looking for a widget that allows the user to create a list by choosing from items from another list.
Something like the tool to customize the button bar in MS Office or MS Explorer. You can see an example of what I'm talking about:
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/databoundcomponents/displayedcolumns.gif
It would be easy to program a component like this (and I've already found some piece of code by Googling), but I'd like to know if someone made a stable Swing component of it to avoid reinventing the wheel.
Thanks in advance.

There is one here
http://www.geocities.com/nirajkagarwal/html/ListSelect
or.htmlThanks, I already found this one via Google but I was looking for something more "professional".
It seems the apache project team made a utility to
control elements in a list...it seems very generic
(maybe over-flexible if there is such a thing...) and
really needs a tutorial !!!
http://incubator.apache.org/uima/apidocs/org/apache/ui
ma/tools/util/gui/ListSelector.htmlYes, it really looks like a work in progress.
I'll wait some more to see if other readers come with links, then I'll start coding my own ListSelector ;-)
NB: another example of what I want to accomplish is shown in figure http://java.sun.com/products/jlf/ed2/book/images/SelectableList1.gif

Javascript help to copy selected items from one list to another list on same site

Hello,
So I have a request that I am not sure how to handle. I have created a page with a list view webpart that displays all the items from one list.
The user is then supposed to select off multiple list items and click on a button (most likely a ribbon button) that will take the selected items and copy them to another list on the same SharePoint site.
I would like to do this with JavaScript, but have only found an example that copies library items to another library.

Hi KansaiKel,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to copy selected list items to another list.
I suggest you can use JavaScript Client Object Model to achieve it.
Here is a code snippet for your reference:
<script type="text/javascript">
var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var siteUrl = 'http://sp2013sps/sites/test';
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext(siteUrl);
var web = context.get_web();
context.load(web);
var sourceId = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedList();
var source = web.get_lists().getById(sourceId);
var oList = context.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('Copy');
context.load(oList);
var selectedItems = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems(context);
alert('debut');
for(var i in selectedItems)
var currentItem = source.getItemById(selectedItems[i].id);
context.load(currentItem);
context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this,test),Function.createDelegate(this,error));
function test(sender, args){
var itemCreateInfo = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation();
var oListItem = oList.addItem(itemCreateInfo);
oListItem.set_item('Title', currentItem.get_item('Title'));
oListItem.update();
oList.update();
alert('done');
function error(sender, args){ alert('error');}""
</script>

Not able to set databinding for dropdown with another list datasource

Hi
I have created one dataviewwebpart on the basis of list1.
Now I want to add one dropdown in one of the column which will display the values of another list.
So I added link datasource as list2 for another datasource.
I want to display versionID's from another list for the item present in the row to this dropdown and when user click on icon I will pass selected version ID and ItemID(available in the row). So the user will able to see the selected version of the
seleted item in another list.
But I am not able to select versionID form list2 in "Change databinding" for the dropdown.
In select a datasource dropdown its not showing the linked datasource of List2.
What can I do ?
Is there any other solution ? Am I missing anything?

Hi,
I recommend to edit the dropdown control with the code below:
<SharePoint:DVDropDownList runat="server" id="ff5{$Pos}" DataSourceID="FilteredLookup" DataTextField="Title" DataValueField="Title" SelectedValue="{@MathTeachers}" __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('u',concat('ff5',$Pos),'SelectedValue','SelectedIndexChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@MathTeachers')}"/>
Please remember to change the id, DataSourceID, DataTextField, DataValueField and SelectedValue to the value in your page code.

How to create new subsite while adding new item to the list by using javascript?

hi,
I hav a task ie, when I add item to the list then subsite will create with that list item title and description . So By using javascript, I have to create subsite while adding new item to the list.
Help me to solve this.
Thank you,

Is your item getting added through Javascript client object model ? If yes, you can write in the success delegate of your list creation method the logic to create the subsite.
function CreateListItem()
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('List Name');
var itemCreateInfo = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation();
this.oListItem = oList.addItem(itemCreateInfo);
oListItem.set_item('Title', 'My New Item!');
oListItem.set_item('Body', 'Hello World!');
oListItem.update();
clientContext.load(oListItem);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.CreateListItemOnSuccess), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
function CreateListItemOnSuccess() {
var subsiteTitle = oListItem.get_item('Title');
//Logic to create a subsite
function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
I have added a sample flow for the above scenario. Have a look at the following lnk for how you can craete a subsite using ecmascript.

How to Update multiple items in other list using event handler?

Hi All,
If i update a item in a list, then i should update multiple items in another list need to be update. How to achive using event receivers?

Hi Sam,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update multiple items in another list when updated a list item.
In the event receiver, you can update the multiple item using Client Object Model.
Here is a code snippet for your reference:
public override void ItemUpdated(SPItemEventProperties properties)
string siteUrl = "http://sp2013sps/sites/test/";
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
List oList = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("another list name");
ListItem oListItem = oList.GetItemById(1);
oListItem["Title"] = "Hello World Updated！";
oListItem.Update();
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

Ecma script add item with people picker field

hello,
I need to add item to a list which is having people picker ,i need to insert the value but it is not working for that field alone.
is there any different procedure is there.
thanks

Hi Krishnakumar_DeV,
Do you mean to add list item with people and group field value, multiple users and groups?
Use the follow sample code:
var users = new Array();
users.push(SP.FieldUserValue.fromUser(“user1alias”));
users.push(SP.FieldUserValue.fromUser(“user2alias”));
item.set_item(columnname, users);
item.update();
