Business Data List View ONLY Displays records - Cannot Edit them
Using SharePoint 2010, I created an External Content Type. Data is coming from SQL Server. I created a new Read operation on my External Content type. I added a few filters in this Read View.
I have created a web part page in which I placed a Business Data List Web Part. In Web Part properties I chose the VIEW in question. I can now filter my External List data and the Business Data List Web Part displays them. But I cannot edit these
records!!!
From the web Part properties window, I can ONLY choose Views that are created from READ operations. How do I allow users to edit data and save data in the original source (SQL Server).

Flex Mobile List view only displaying correctly in debug build
I've got a horizontal list view that I've created in my app. There is a button that changes it's layout and items between a small thumbnail grid layoutand a larger thumbnail single row layout.
In my debug build, this works just fine every single time. However, once I create a release build and install it, the listview doesn't have anything in it initially. If I press my layout change button, the large images show up, but they are shown vertically instead of horizontally.
And if I hit the button again, I see the smaller images, except that they are in white boxes the size of the larger images.
Here's some screenshots:
Here's my layout creation code:
// setup the scroll view
scrollView.horizontalAlign="center";
scrollView.horizontalGap=20;
scrollView.orientation="columns";
scrollView.requestedRowCount=1;
scrollView.verticalAlign="middle";
scrollView.verticalGap=20;
// setup the grid view
gridView.horizontalAlign="center";
gridView.horizontalGap=20;
gridView.orientation="columns";
gridView.requestedRowCount=2;
gridView.verticalAlign="middle";
gridView.verticalGap=20;
Here is my layout swap code and my item adding:
var imageClass:Class;
if(view == 1){
listy.layout = gridView;
imageClass = getDefinitionByName(getQualifiedClassName(new gridImg())) as Class;
}else{
listy.layout = scrollView;
imageClass = getDefinitionByName(getQualifiedClassName(new scrollImg())) as Class;
var x:ArrayList = new ArrayList();
var im:BitmapAsset;
im = new imageClass() as BitmapAsset;
var i:BitmapImage = new BitmapImage();
i.source = im;
x.addItem(i);
i = new BitmapImage();
i.source = im;
x.addItem(i);
i = new BitmapImage();
i.source = im;
x.addItem(i);
i = new BitmapImage();
i.source = im;
x.addItem(i);
i = new BitmapImage();
i.source = im;
x.addItem(i);
i = new BitmapImage();
i.source = im;
x.addItem(i);
i = new BitmapImage();
i.source = im;
x.addItem(i);
i = new BitmapImage();
i.source = im;
x.addItem(i);
listy.dataProvider = x;
And in case it's relevant, here's my embedded image code:
[Embed(source="assets/logo.png")]
[Bindable]
public var gridImg:Class;
[Embed(source="assets/logo2.png")]
[Bindable]
public var scrollImg:Class;
Any help would be appreciated.The red arrow shows the floating bar in Reader X, outside the visible area of the screen

How do I get the reminders, in list view, to display in date order?
How do I get the reminders, in list view, to display in date order? I can't seem to get them to display in date order on either my ipad or iphone.
Yes i know I can look at date view, but i don't like that view. I excepted the list view to display all reminders in date order.
Thanks!You need to create a stringwriter, wrap it in a printwriter, then print to the printwriter, then convert the stringwriter to a string.
Here's an example:
StringWriter sw = new java.io.StringWriter();
PrintWriter pw = new java.io.PrintWriter(sw);
e.printStackTrace(pw);
String strError = sw.toString();
I hope this works. I didn't test the above code. I don't think I'm leaving anything out, but it's been a while since I've done it. Either way, it should get you on the right track to get what you need.
Hope that helps.

Hi all,
I am using the Business Data List Web Part to show and search data from external database as following link
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms493107(v=office.12).aspx
But the Business Data List Web Part doesn't allow me to choose one or multiple items as other SP lists. I mean it doesn't have the CheckBox column. How could I have it?
ThanksHi,
According to your description, Business Data List Web Part which data from external database doesn't have the check box column.
I have done a test in my SharePoint 2013, and I met the same issue with you. Although I defined the edit action for the external content types, I still couldn’t edit a record from business data list web part.
I would suggest you to use External List. In this case you will be able to Add/Edit/View item if your External Content Type has all operations.
Here is a blog about how to Create an External List, you can use as a reference:

BCS Business Data List data HTML Formatting data
I have a Business Data List webpart in Sharepoint Online (2013) which pulls data from a BCS List. This data contains HTML which is not rendering as HTML but the HTML text.
I've modified the data to HTML format the data, no joy (example: < img src="/)
I've modified the data to spit out the native html, no joy (example: <img src="/)
I've modified the XSLT of the webpart using the Data View Properties (when editing the webpart in Sharepoint) to output the text from the list as below, which didn't work:
<xsl:value-of select="@ArticleBody" disable-output-escaping="yes" ddwrt:nbsp-preserve="yes"/>
and also this hasn't worked:
<xsl:value-of select="@ArticleBody" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
I'm now at a loss as to how I can get the data to show with the html text being rendered as actual HTML on pagefound, the issue - there was a section further down the XSLT file that needed the disable-output-escaping adding to (below is the original section) - once updated it worked like a charm - thanks
<xsl:template name="_LFtoBRloop">
<xsl:param name="input" />
<xsl:variable name="beforeText" select="substring-before($input, '
')" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="string-length($beforeText) = 0 and substring($input, 1, 1) != '
'">
<xsl:value-of select="$input" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$beforeText" />

Debugging XSLT of Business Data List web part in SPD 2013
I am working on a Business Data List web part in SPD 2013. I want to customize that complex XSLT that got generated by the web part. It will be really helpful, if I can debug that XSLT. But I am not sure, how to debug XSLT from SPD? If at all, I need to
debug through Visual Studio also, I need the XML also, which I don't have. Can anyone please help?Hi Ven,
XSLT debugging , I have never heard abt it. Its like UI design and you modify it and test it in Browser. Thats the only way.
one such sample is http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc300164(v=office.12).aspx

List view item display time is taking too much
Hi,
I am working in a sharepoint2013 project. In our project , list view item display time is taking too much in IE8 sp2013 64 bit environment. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
NabhenduHi Nabhendu,
We had something similar with our SP2013 and IE8 32-bit. It seems that IE8 was in Compatible mode which make it IE7, which is unsupported by SP2013 due to HTML5.
Issue : List view especially datasheet view which has been moved from ActiveX to HTML5 had very slow response on SP2013 and IE8 32-bit.
Resolution : Try Chrome and see if its CSS/Masterpage or SP2013 issues performance issue.
We deployed masterpage and css which was used in our SP2007 site with minor changes, but later we figured out that we need to make major changes in order to work with IE8 and SP2013.
Try Indexing Columns.
check how many look up columns are used.
Hopefully that may help you..
Thanks,
Parth

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF’s and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools>Comment&Markup or Tools>Advanced Editing>TouchUp Text Tool. All the functions are greyed out. Please advise.
What's your OS? Acrobat 8 is not compatible with any modern OS.

Date format in user master record cannot be interpreted
When running an Infopackage from BW to an R/3 customer extractor, the R/3 job cancels with this error message, "Date format in user master record cannot be interpreted". I can restart the R/3 job program from the ABAP editor screen using the same variant that BW issued and the job runs without cancelling.
NOTE: This process runs without any errors on our QAS system.
Any idea what causes this error message and how I can fix it?Hi Alan,
I have resolved this issue by myself. Same just like yours mine is also a custom Datasource.
Solution for this is go to source system check your Background user id i.e like BWALEREMOTE or ALEREMOTE which ever id you have created for setting up RFC connection between R/3 & BW. Check your Date format which has been set for your background user. Use the second format mm/dd/yy. Then run your extraction you will not face any problem.
If you still have any problem do let me know. If this solution helps you assign points.

Hi
It's a bit of a weird one. In an XSLT List View web part when Inline editing is enabled if I change the date column, it changes the lookup field column as well. This behavior only occurs if the lookup list has more than 20 entries. Below 20 and we are
OK.
Let me explain by example:
MileStones List - Having more than 20 items
Tasks List - having a lookup to the Title field from MileStones list. Also having a due date field.
Simple web part page with one XSLT List View web part for Tasks having inline editing enabled.
When I edit the first record's due date and press enter (which saves the changes and moves onto next record) and change the due date on second record without even touching the MileStone field. Press enter to commit changes and you see the milestone changing
on first record!
The wierd thing is that if the MileStone list has less than 20 items all works as expected.
Any pointers will be appreciated
ThanksHi,
This is a known limitation when working with complex fields like Lookup field.
A workaround is that we can avoid using the inline edit feature when there are
complex fields in a list.
You can take a look at this KB from Microsoft Support to get more details:

I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?
There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
*1. Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
*2. Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
*3. A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
*4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
*5. A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

List View still displays dates as numbers after 2.1 Hotfix
Hi
Just tried the List View component after installing Fix Pack 2.1 Hot Fix. I put a list view component on the canvas, selected 3 datesone for each header, changed the Appearance - Header to Date and then hit preview. The first header worksshows the dates but the other two headers show numbers, not dates.
The documentation shows that this was fixed, see below

dates as numbers)
Description:
The header area of List View displays date values as numbers.

Hide "more" button in a list view, only works for first item in the list
I have the following code in a list view that outputs several dozen items in a web app. The code only works for the first item, how can I make it loop through and execute the test for each item in the list view? The {tag_hide more button} is a checkmark field that yields a numeric 1" if checked otherwise yields a numeric "0".
<div id="more-option">
<p class="right"><a href="{tag_itemurl_nolink}" class="btn btn-small btn-very-subtle">More →</a></p>
</div>
<div class="more-selection" style="display: none;">{tag_hide more button}</div>
<script>
if ($(".more-selection").text() == "1") {
$("#more-option").hide();
</script>What's the URL for the site where you are using this? Offhand, it looks like it should work with your first example so you are either placing the script before those elements are loaded or you might try wrapping your current javascript inside the:
$(document).ready(function() {
--- your existing javascript here
This make sure the code runs once all the html is loaded on the page. Without seeing a URL and debugging with the js console in Chrome I can't give you a solid answer.
But, I do know that you can probably do this with a lot less markup. Once we figure out what the actual problem is I have a better solution mocked up for you on jsfiddle.
When looking at my HTML code on jsfiddle, please realize I setup some dummy HTML and removed your tags and added actual values which would be output by your tags. The main thing I did was remove the whole div.more-selection and instead, added a "data-is-selected" attribute on your div.more-option element. Then, in my javascript for each div.my-option element on the page, we loop through them, find the value of that data attribute and hide that div if it's less than 1 (or 0).
Here's the fiddle for you to look at: http://jsfiddle.net/thetrickster/Mfmdu/
You'll see in the end result that only two divs show up, both of those divs have data-is-selected="1".
You can try pasting the javascript code near the closing </body> tag on your page and make sure to wrap my js inside a <script> tag, obviously. My way is neater on the markup side. If you can't get it to work it's likely a jquery conflict issue. My version is using the $(document).ready() method to make sure all the code is loaded before it runs.

Forms builder- only displays records created in the form builder?
Hi there. I am new to Oracle and forms builder. I just have a query. I have created a form and when I run the form, it doesnt display the data out of my database. I can add a new record using the form and it will add it to my database:

Hello Hell 5981131803

But it will only display the records that I have added using the form. Example, the first two records above were already in the database. I couldnt view them ith the form, but then I added the bottom record and I could only view that record in the form, but not the others.
Any ideas why? I think I just dont know how to use the forms builder properly. Many thanksForms starts with an empty screen(no records), only when you execute a query, the records are retrieved from the database.
This can be done by executing the "execute_query" command.
This can be done by pushing the button in the toolbaar, choosing the menu item, hitting the function key.
But it can also be done programmatically in forms code(in a trigger).
I hope this helps...
