Auto populate buddy lists/roster

I work for a school district and we have set up our iChat server using mac os 10.4.9. What I would like is when a user logs in they will see other users from their groups. So what I am asking is how can I make auto poulating buddy lists or "rosters" in the users ichat...If any one knows a way to do this..it would be a great help. We have 35000 users already pluged in to our openLDAP if this helps...

With 35000 users I guess this is a transient community and the buddy list needs to be tightly integrated with the LDAP setting. Using apple tools, there is no easy way (well no way at all) to do this. If you are conformable at doing a little software development you should be able to achieve what you are wanting with Fljud. I was in the process of putting together a package that does as you asked, and many people ask, but with 10.5 almost on us I'm not sure i'll bother to finish it.
The base server design for 10.5 is different and has a number of very important changes that make it work with such a enterprise size deployment.
So - I guess I'm saying, if you plan to move to 10.5 in the near future, that is your best bet. If you will stay with 10.4 for sometime to come - expect to do some software development/configuration. One work of warning - passwords are plain text in 10.4.x for ichat logon. If the server is hacked is any way then all the passwords are there in plain text for all too see.

How do I create an auto reply for one person in my buddy list?

I want to be able to have an automatic reply to one person in my buddy list whenever they IM me so that i dont have to reply myself. I dont want to block them but i sometimes want to be able to just avoid them and so does anyone know any applescript that i can run whenever they send me a message??

Hi,
In the Buddy List highlight a Buddy.
Use the CMD and I keys together (Get Info)
This brings up their Info Card.
Select Actions (Same as Alerts in the Preferences In Fact some versions do Read "Alerts" )
Change the top item to Invite (Text)
Select the AppleScript option.
Set the Script to be Auto-Decline.
This will produce no response on the Buddies end.
For that go to the General Section of the Preferences and set the option to "Auto-Reply with my Away Message"
This will then send the Away message to the Buddy set in the first bit but to no--one else.
If you wish to be able to Reply when you have an Available Message up, that is a little more difficult.

How to auto populate a column/SharePoint list with Current Date?

I have a SharePoint list and I created a column called ‘CurrDate’.
I need this column to;
Display the current date,
Auto populate all rows with the current date in the SharePoint list
Dynamically update with the current date
I first tried creating the column using the default SharePoint interface Date Time but it’s not doing any of the steps listed above:
I even tried entering =[Today] in the Calculated Value field.
Still nothing…
So, I’m sure you will toss out a code snippet to make this work, which is great.
However, I’m a total noob with SPD, where the heck do I insert this snippet?
Always in need of help.

Hi ,
I understand that you want to add a column to a list to hold current date. Here is a workaround:
Add a single line of text column to the list. Name the list as Today.
Add a calculated column to the list. Use the [Today] as the formula. Set the calculated column to be Date and Time type.
Delete the Today column from the list.
Thanks,

Auto populate List Column

I want to auto populate a Column that's in all my document libraries. I want to set this Column to the document library name.
I know I can create an ItemAdding Event Receiver to grab ListTitle.
But my situation wouldn't be based on an event. I only want to run this once to populate this Column, then it will never change.
I would have to be based it on a WorkflowStarted. But in the WorkflowStarted Event Receiver, I don't see how to grab ListTitle.
Does anyone know how to grab ListTitle in the WorkflowStarted Event Receiver?
Or do you know of another way to grab ListTitle and populate a Column with that value?
thanks!

Hello,
You may try with "properties.ActivationProperties.List" to get current list name.

Hope it could help

Ichat auto accept for file transfer? way to combine buddy lists?

1) on the new leopard ichat, is there an auto-accept mode for file transfers so that anyone on my buddy list can automatically send me files?
2) i have a google chat and aim accounts running. they run on separate buddy lists. is there a way to combine them to only have one buddy list window?

You can actually. Go to iChat > Preferences > Alerts, select "Incoming File Transfers" from the pull-down menu, check "Run AppleScript", select "Auto Accept.applescript". Your file transfers will be accepted by default

How do I auto populate a text box if a check box is ticked in Acrobat XI Pro?

Basically, i have been asked to create a catalogue of sorts for my organisation with a form at the end that will be completed by the end user. it will be a catalogue of books and toys that people can request to borrow from us. Its all specialist equipment that we loan out for disabled people. When they are scrolling through the catalogue i would like there to be a check box and if they would like to borrow that item they would tick that box and any other products that they would like to borrow. Is it possible to have a text box that auto populates with a list of the items they have selected. the form would be similar to the one below. it the box next to Products to borrow i would like it to add products as they tick the boxes in the preceeding pages. I would be happy to share an example document if needed. thanks in advance for any help.
Name
Address
Products to borrow

Thank you for your willingness to help.
The problem with a drop down is that it would not present all options when printed, and some of our users will be completing this form manually (printed). All options need to be displayed.
Here's an example:
SELECT PREFIX:
A12
B12
C12
They can check one of the above and then based on what they select, I want the next box (a text field) to pre-fill with their selection.
So if they select A12, the text box would automatically fill with A12.

Auto-populate fields in Custom Object Based on Another Record

Hello,
I am hoping to auto-populate a few default values in a new Custom Object record based on an associated Lead record. The layout is this:
I use the Lead record to take care of most of the information in the sales stages until the product is sold. The Lead record has fields to record information for a one product sale. The sales person can then use the Custom Object (called 'GX Additional Product') (which shows up in the Related Information section of the Lead record) to add additional items to a sales order request. Many of the fields in the GX Additional Product (custom object) record are identical to fields already filled out in the Lead record.
What I would like to do, is when a new GX Additional Product (custom object) is added to the Lead record, those identical fields already filled out in the Lead record, by default, populate the corresponding fields in the new GX Additional Product (custom object) record.
Is this possible? Is this something that can be done with JoinFieldValues? If so, I've had a bit of confusion trying to set up a JoinFieldValues expression.
If you have any information to share that would be helpful, that would be greatly appreciated! THANKS!

Hi,
You can use JoinFieldValue to Custom Objects from other entities, cause you will have other objects' ID recorded inside the CO's, when you open a new detail record associated with the parent. Make sure your custom object is showing as a detail section (N:1) into lead´s main page. Try with one field first, using the exact syntax provided at samples listed at product documentation.

PROBLEM WITH AUTO POPULATE IN THE GOOGLE SEARCH BOX

When I type in the google search box it auto populates search terms as it always has. However since upgrading to FF4 when I click on the one I want to go to ... nothing happens. I have to type the full search every time. I don't see this issue anywhere in the forum, am I the only one having this problem?

How Firefox is opened should not matter.
It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Open your '''Add-ons Manager <Control><Shift > A''' and make sure you
know what each one is and what it does.
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
'''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
know what it is, use a web search.

How to auto-populate dates in a calendar based on radio buttons?

Hi,
I'm trying to create an availability form that is submitted on a monthly basis. What I'd like is to have a radio button the user could click to indicate what day the first of the month falls on (Monday through Sunday), and have fields auto-populate with the remainder of the dates on the calendar. As it stands right now, I've got the radio buttons and the text fields, but I'm running into serious issues getting the text fields to auto-fill based on the selected radio button.
I've labelled the radio button group "First Day of Month" and the individual values are "Monday" "Tuesday" "Wednesday" "Thursday" "Friday" "Saturday" "Sunday" and "Start". The "Start" button is hidden but is checked by default.
My text fields are even simpler: "Monday 1" "Monday 2" "Monday 3" "Monday 4" and "Monday 5" (and then, obviously, repeated for each day of the week.
I am horrible at scripting, so I think that might be where I'm running into issues. What I'd like to put is something like this (only, you know, functional, and for each days' text value):
For "Monday 1"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Monday", "Monday 1.value" ="1"
else "Monday 1.value" = ""
For "Wednesday 3"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Sunday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "11"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Monday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "17"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Tuesday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "16"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Wednesday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "15"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Thursday", "Wednesday 3" = "14"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Friday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "13"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Saturday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "12"
else "Wednesday 3.value" = ""
For "Sunday 5"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Sunday", "Sunday 5.value" = "29"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Friday", "Sunday 5.value" = "31"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Saturday", "Sunday 5.value" = "30"
else "Sunday 5.value" = ""
Is this possible? I have no doubt there's a better way to do it (with proper coding and everything), so any help would definitely be appreciated!

Hello,
Which sharepoint edition you are using? I would prefer to customize your list form in infopath form then add new connection which will connect to your SQL. Later you can filter data based on cust ID. Here is the link to add connection in infopath:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/infopath-help/add-a-data-connection-to-a-microsoft-sql-server-database-HP010092823.aspx
If you want to do it via code then simple ADO.NET connector will help.

Auto-populate checkboxes in a form

I'm working on a form in ApEx that has several checkbox fields on it, and am having some trouble getting them to auto-populate. Based on a selection on the welcome page of this application, certain checkboxes should auto-populate so that users should be able to opt out of certain criteria on the form.
Here's an example:
On page 1 of this application, the user chooses what type of report they are requesting. Their options are: "Internal Use" "Non-Solicitation Mailing" "Solicitation Mailing" "Solicitation" "Invitation" and "Other." On the next page (the form itself), there are several different conditional items called "(type of request)_Exclusions," and all of these are checkboxes based on a Static LOV. For example, for a request that is listed as "Internal Use," the checkboxes for "Deceased" "Lost" and "No Mail" should be automatically checked so that the user has the option to opt out, and their values should be returned to the database.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
You want the checkboxes to be checked by default in the form while creating a new record in the database. Suppose that form page number is 7 and it has a hidden item P7_ID (refererring primary key of database table) and checkbox item P7_IS_ACTIIVE (refererring IS_ACTIVE column of database table and can have values 'Y' or 'N'). Now edit P7_IS_ACTIIVE item and scroll to Default section.
Type Default Value = case when :P7_ID is null then 'Y' end;
Default Value Type = PL/SQL Expression
In the List of Values section type List of Values Definition = STATIC2:Active;Y.
Click Apply Changes and create Automatic Row Processing (DML) process On Submit -After Computations and Validations for insert, update and delete of database table records. Type Item Containing Primary Key Column Value = P7_ID.
Whenever you create a new record the P7_IS_ACTIIVE is always checked.
Else if this is not what you need you can refer the example posted by Denes as 'Checkbox Y/N' on http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:123:1499221457271585::NO

Can I auto-populate fields in a pdf form based on responses in other fields (using Acrobat XI PRO)?

I am creating a fillable pdf form using Acrobat XI Pro and would like to be able to auto-populate text fields in one section of the form based on responses entered by respondents in an earlier section. Is this possible? If so, would it function for respondents using Adobe Reader to complete the form?
Many thanks,
Andy

Thanks, George! In the form I am creating, I ask respondents to identify a number of organizations that they work with. For example, I ask "Please list up to ten organizations" and then I provide ten text boxes for organizations 1-10. I then ask a series of follow up questions (radio buttons, check boxes, and rating scales) about each organization. I would like to auto-populate the fields of those follow up questions with the names of the organizations that the respondents had written. Does that make sense? Will this require JavaScript? My hope is to avoid complicated scripts that may give respondents technical problems with the form. Thanks again,
Andy

Auto populate Infopath 2013 fields after selecting a specific dropdown option.

Auto populate Infopath 2013 fields after selecting a specific dropdown option.
Hi.
I have a Sharepoint 2013 list with three fields. Code, Section and Sub Section.
I would like to be able to have the form autopopulate the Section and Sub Section fields when a value for code is entered.
How would I go about this please?
Thanks
Jon

Hi JonMorgan,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to achieve that the second dropdown gets populated depending on what the first dropdown is set to.
To achieve your requirement, creating cascading dropdown fields with InfoPath.
Please refer to the following links about cascade drop down in InfoPath form:

Using a rule to auto-populate fields

I'm using InfoPath/SharePoint 2010.
I work for a law firm and I am designing an InfoPath form for a SharePoint portal. We have a database will a list of matter numbers and names. One of the fields is called, Matter number and the other, Matter name. I want users to be able to type
in the matter number, and have that number validated against the database to auto-populate the matter name in the matter name field. Does anyone know how I would be able to do that?

This would be done in InfoPath.
Click on your Matter Name field and then select properties. For default value, select the data source as your other data source and then highlight the Matter name field. Click filter data and use the form field for Matter number.

Auto populate a date field in pdf

in the form I am working on I have a date/time field. I need it to populate the current date when the form is open. I get it to work but it has the time on it. I only need the date. when I try to change it to display just the date. It will not auto populate ? please help. Thank you for any one who can help.
using adobe livecycle ES

I found out how to use current date.
To add current date fields in LifeCycle
You can use a date/time field to automatically show the current date by using the Runtime Property option in the Value tab of the Object palette.
Note: When using a current date field, the date updates to reflect the system’s current date each time a user opens the form.
1. In the Object Library palette, click the Standard category and drag a Date/Time Field object onto the form design.
2. In the Object palette, click the Value tab and select Calculated - Read Only from the Type list.
3. Select the Runtime Property option.
4. View the form in the Preview PDF tab.
Hope this helps!
