Change in KM discussion forum after SP18

Hi,
We have just applied SP18 (from SP14). In our KM discussion forum the time shown for 'last post' is now changed to the time when the post was 'last read' by a user.
Have anyone seen this before? and where can I change so it displays when the post/reply was posted?

Java Discussion Forum - Post topic not working

I've deployed the Java Discussion Forum contributed by CLAURENT in Knowledge Exchange. Deployed to 10gAS in JDev 9051. I've modified a few deprecated classes and made the appropraite changes to orion-applications.xml to point to the correct JPDK jars when deployed under Linux.
The application is operating properly with no errors. The administartion portlet can modify and create new forums. However, Posting a topic does NOT work. And it doesn't throw any errors on screen or in the console log (application.log) or the log4j log (forumprovider.log). Has anyone run into a problem like this?
Thanks. LEH

I have exactly the same problem on the Portal 10g release 2.
Normally the "dit of a new topic" calls the EditPostAction but after submitting the form, nothing reachs this action.
I check this in debug mode and add several logs and I don't see nothing appearing for this action.
Did you find a solution?

OTN Discussion Forum questions are gone

My OTN Discussion Forum questions seem to have been deleted. They were only about 1-2 months old. Does anyone know if they are deleted or archived after a certain time period? I'd like to find them for reference if anyone knows how to do that?

You are posting today's question with username 18e07053-637d-44a1-97ce-f070d9c69384
That is a system-generated name for a new account.
Were those other posts created with the same user account?
Have you recently tried to change your login name (which has been known to totally muck up user profiles, by the way) ?
The site software has no possible ability to magically merge postings from multiple accounts.
I suggest you try to remember older threads and find them using the site search function.
If you can find those threads, you might be able to see if they were posted with the same user account or some previous account.
Once you do that, you can return to this thread and give us all more information on what you may have found..

Please help - discussion forum problem.

I am subscribed to Apple Discussions forum "Mail & Address Book - Tiger" to receive a weekly digest. Today, however, I have received about 20 emails - each time there is a post to the forum. I checked "My Settings" and it indicates weekly digest. I did re-save that.
My pop mail server rejects new emails after a certain number and I don't want it to reject important emails because it's filled up by these individual posts.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Since March 2007, when I first signed up, I've been getting weekly digests. Here is the email I received on 6/24 which states:
"You have requested mail to be sent to you when messages are posted to certain areas in Apple Discussions.
The following updates have been made since 6/17/07 1:06 AM
Forum "Mail & Address Book - Tiger" has been updated 2000 times .............."
It then proceeds to list all 2000 of them (in that one weekly digest email) -- with links.
Today was the first day I received individual posts.
After receiving 35 individual emails today, I changed "My Settings" and unsubscribed, and since then I haven't gotten any.
It might be some email glitch as Ernie and MacJack sugested "that all the problems encountered in the forum operation this week" and "others who do (subscribe to weekly digests) reported this also."
I solved MY problem in that I'm no longer being inundated by emails. I don't know if Apple solved theirs.
Thanks for your help.

New Discussions forum has down graded my number of posts...

Why oh why do Apple have to fix something that is not broken - I loved the old discussions forum, I am not change adverse however what is the point of changing something which works?? Also, my number of posts have gone down to 15! I am not an Apple newbie and had a lot to say... give me back my original number of posts please!!
I am sure other members feel the same... is there anyone else out there who has noticed that their posts number has gone down? It may sound silly but I think it reflects on the nature of your query and also how your advice is taken up by other users. I definately rely on the number under the name of the poster as an indication of wheather what they are saying is correct!

Weird ... I understand about Reps & levels being (tempoorarily/temporally) 'ou to lunch' but I am puzzled about posts ...
Many others' counts look OK to me (people I'm familiar with, or would consider 'Peers in Posts', obviously .
I appear to have lost many hundreds - who remembers exactly ? It's not the sort of thing I memorize - But it was more 400 than 40... or 800 than 80.
(I have ca. 600 in my mailbox just from my posts - and just from threads I had email Subs to ... so a 2 digit number is fairly unlikely grin)
Perhaps it'll all sort itself out
(I never did much like the way Posts arbitrarily went Offline, anyway - permanently unavailable to searches - so I'd subscribe via email to have my own copy. This made it easier to explain/answer the same complicated question/problem the next 20 times it got asked after the original dropped off the twig. It's not as if the questions & answers don't remain relevant - in many cases, for years afterwards...)

Special Character in Subject Field of Discussion Forum

I am creating a new discussion, in the subject when i enter "Portal Discussion?" then it gives error that special character is not allowed. But i want to use the "?" in the subject at the time of creation.
After creating the discussion i can edit the same thing with special characters, then why SharePoint is not allowing to enter special character at the time of creation.

Hi
Refer this link
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/6e7a7eae-26fc-467f-bfdc-7c5d5ff49a95/discussion-forum-storing-special-character-in-title-differently?forum=sharepointdevelopmentlegacy
It seems that SharePoint will allow the Title of the discussion board to remain with the special characters, but the actual URL will not be allowed and will strip them from the final URL. SharePoint Manager easily shows this, btw.
So, there are probably many different ways to get what you are looking for, but one way could be to have a Linq query look for all Discussion Boards on a given site and then return the Title and the DefaultViewUrl, which the latter could then be prefixed by
the SPWeb.Url to give you something like "Testing? , /" for the title and http://mysite/Lists/Testing/AllItems.aspx (assuming
that is the actual default view) which you could then use as the final URL for your hyperlink in your web part.
In the code snippet below you can see the Linq query (which I assumed from your post that you need to query to find the Discussion Boards) and a simple DataTable that you could then use to populate a repeater or you just omit the DataTable and
enumerate the results from the query yourself:
var linqResults
= from list in oSPWeb.Lists.Cast<SPList>() where list.BaseTemplate
== SPListTemplateType.DiscussionBoardselect list;
DataTable oDataTable
= new DataTable();
DataColumn oDataColumn_Title
= new DataColumn("Title", typeof(string));
oDataTable.Columns.Add(oDataColumn_Title);
DataColumn oDataColumn_URL
= new DataColumn("URL", typeof(string));
oDataTable.Columns.Add(oDataColumn_URL);
foreach (SPList oSPList in linqResults)
DataRow oDataRow
= oDataTable.NewRow();
oDataRow[
"Title"]
= oSPList.Title.ToString();
oDataRow[
"URL"]
= oSPWeb.Url + oSPList.DefaultViewUrl.ToString();
oDataTable.Rows.Add(oDataRow);
oDataTable.AcceptChanges();

Issue in incoming email settings in discussion forum

hi,
I have enbaled incoming email settings in my discussion forum list.

But the users whom i want to share this discussion thread were not able to receive the email in return when someone posted a reply on this forum.
Pls let me know how to resolve this if its possible OOB. any settings / config changes i need to make it on the exchaneg server or SP Central Admin ?
also how to attach a file / [ attachments ] as a reply to this discussion forum thread.

If users want alerts email for some users, you need to set alerts or ask someone to set alerts
You can set alerts in behalf of other users as the administrator for list and inidividual items. Just set up an alert like you are setting it up for yourself...Use the drop-down menu to select "Alert Me", delete your name and enter in someone else's. If
the username textbox is greyed out, you don't have the proper permissions. I think you need to have the "Manage Permission" rights of the site which is included in the Manage Hierachy and Full Control permission levels.

you can also try IAlertNotificationHandler interface to customize alert. If you don’t want to write code, you may consider using 3<sup>rd</sup> party tool about SharePoint
alert which you can find on the internet.

Unable to create a connection for Discussion Forums.

Hi,
I have my WC_Spaces and WC_Colloboration Servers running actively. When I try to create a new connection by right-clicking Connections in Applications Resources and choose Discussion Forums and too I entered the URL and admin fields, I find its unable to create a new connection. The error displayed is : "Failed to verify connection". Please help me with this.
Regards,
Dinesh Vishnu Kumar

Hi,
In your webcenter application you have created the discussion forum connection and you have connections.xml file in your application.Open the connections.xml in jdeveloper and check the discussion forum connection entry.
For example here I have written down my entry on forum connection-
<Reference name="Discussion Forum Connection" className="oracle.adf.mbean.share.connection.webcenter.forum.ForumConnection" xmlns="">
<Factory className="oracle.adf.mbean.share.connection.webcenter.forum.ForumConnectionFactory"/>
<RefAddresses>
<StringRefAddr addrType="forum.url">
<Contents>http://localhost:8890/owc_discussions</Contents>
</StringRefAddr>
<StringRefAddr addrType="admin.user">
<Contents>weblogic</Contents>
</StringRefAddr>
<StringRefAddr addrType="connection.time.out">
<Contents/>
</StringRefAddr>
<StringRefAddr addrType="policy.uri.for.auth.access">
<Contents/>
</StringRefAddr>
<StringRefAddr addrType="policy.uri.for.public.access">
<Contents/>
</StringRefAddr>
<StringRefAddr addrType="recipient.key.alias">
<Contents/>
</StringRefAddr>
<StringRefAddr addrType="adapter.name">
<Contents>Jive</Contents>
</StringRefAddr>
</RefAddresses>
</Reference>
Change the required entries with your values(for serveraddress,port and admin user).
One more thing need to consider that is -
in jdeveloper proxy ,add the server address in exception list and restart the jdeveloper.
Sometimes it will show you up as "failed to verify the connection". But it will work atleast functionality-wise it will work.
Apart from this,I have a query on "Have you used any VPN connection to connect collaboration server to create forum connection?"
Hope it works for you.
Regards,
Hoque

Tweak SharePoint 2013 Discussion Forum

I have a discussion forum created in SharePoint 2013. I want to make some minor tweaks, but searched everywhere on how to do it and changing random settings is getting me nowhere.
Add choice column
I would like to add a category as a Choice column so that it shows up:
1. In the Subject view, ideally before the author. E.g.
My question about so and so
CategoryXYZ | By Randar Puust | Latest reply by Randar Puust | About an hour ago
2. Editable when I add or edit a post. I know I can do this through List Settings. I just want to makes sure the solution to 1 does not break this.
Default for Question
I would like to make the Question field Yes by default. Everything starts as an unanswered question unless they explicitly turn it off.
Note: I am not afraid of changing code if I need to, but I've never actually done any code level customization of SharePoint. I've barely used the SharePoint designer. So not quite a newbie, but far from a guru.

In terms of using the Discussion Board app, either I'm not understanding what you mean (which is very possible), or you may not realize how restricted the discussion app is 2013. The three out of the box views (Threaded, Flat and Subject) do not allow
any customization at all. I can't even add columns. I've tried to add the columns like so:
But they do now show up in any of the views.
I can get it to show up when the discussion item is created and when I export to Excel, but I cannot get it to show up in the threaded view. I would include more screenshots, but this forum only allows 2 images per post, so hopefully these screenshots
help clarify my challenge.

Welcome to the New NI Discussion Forums!

We are excited to present the NEW and IMPROVED NI Discussion Forums to you, our valued community members!
The community not only had a face-lift, it now offers a full set of advanced personalization features and it is available in seven languages!
Here are some tips to help you get around the new system:
What do the boxes next to the user names mean?
This is the new user ranking system. The three boxes represent the user’s score in the three performance metrics: ratings, posts, and logins. The darker the box is shaded, the higher the user has scored in that performance metric.
The box on the left is the average message rating the user has received.
The box in the center is the total number of posts the user has contributed to the community.
The box on the right is the number of times the user has logged into the community.
The blue boxes designate the user is an NI Employee while the gold boxes are reserved for NI Partners and customers.
How do I find a thread from the old system in the new system?
If you have the title of the thread, we recommend searching for it using the search bar at the top or bottom of the page.
If you do not have the title of thread or cannot find it with search, but you know that you posted to the thread, we recommend that you login and click on your Alias at the top of the page to view your profile. From your profile page, click on the Find All Posts by this User link and scroll through the results to find the thread.
If you do not have the title of the thread and you didn’t post to it, but you know the Alias of someone else who did post to the thread, conduct a User search to find that user. Click on their Alias to view their profile page and then use the Find All Posts by this User link to find the thread.
If you do not have the title of the thread and you don’t know the Alias of any user who posted to it, we recommend browsing the board that you believe it would be in until you find it.
How do I personalize the forums?
Once you login, click on the My Profile link at the top of the page. From the tabs on this page, you can modify your time zone, ratings preference, font size, emoticon style, etc to personalize your experience. As long as you remember to Save Changes before you leave the tabs, your forum will be personalized for you each time you login.
What languages are supported?
The user interface is translated into the following languages:
Chinese (Simplified)
Chinese (Traditional)
English
French
Korean
Japanese
Spanish
Note: The language in the My Preferences tab in the forums only controls the language for that session. As soon as you logout and login again, your language will be reset to the language that you have configured in your NI User Profile. To modify the language configured in your NI User Profile, visit www.ni.com/profile.

What does Float mean?
You can choose to pin boards or threads to the top of the lists so that when you are logged in they are the first things you see. To do this, click on the up arrow to the right of the board or message you want to Float to the top of your lists. When you no longer want this message or board at the top of your lists, you can click the arrow again to UnFloat the board or message.
Why are there smiley faces in the sample code pieces?
There are times when the pieces of code include the same characters that are used to create an emoticon in the forums. To disable emoticons so that you can see the code correctly, follow these steps:
Sign In or Register to the forums if you are not already logged in
Click My Profile in the User Bar at the top of the page
Click My Preferences to view the My Preferences tab
Change the Emoticon Type to None in the My Preferences tab in your Profile
Click Save Changes
Now when you browse to the thread, the code should be displayed correctly.
Emoticons will no longer be displayed in any messages you view in the forums until you change the Emoticon Type back to one of the other types.
If you have additional questions or feedback about the upgrade, refer to the Help or post to the Feedback on NI Discussion Forums board.

Just a couple of comments:
1. In the CVI forum, I couldn't post a message which included the C #include syntax with angle brackets. It interpreted the angle brakcets as HTML, gave me an HTML syntax error, and deleted the angle brackets as well as the .h file they enclosed. There may be a way in HTML to escape the angle brakcets so they can be included as text rather than interpreted as HTML, but I shouldn't have to do that in a C forum.
2. When I got the HTML error message above, it also deleted the file I had attached so when I posted the message, there was no attachment.
3. I don't get automatic hyperlinks in any posts I read or create. The text of the URL is there, but I can't just click to link to the new page. Am I missing some option?
4. Older but updated messages don't come to the top. I like to see new activity even if I'm not subscribed to that thread.
5. When reviewing the list of messages in the forums, I'd like to see the ratings of the author and of the reply (even before opening the message). In the old forums, the messages where tagged "Answered by Enthusiast" and/or "High rating".
6. I'd like to see the buttons to rate an answer even if I'm not logged. If I try to rate an answer when I'm not logged on, it could prompt me to log on first. If the rating buttons are only available if you're logged on, I think the number of ratings will be drastically reduced.
7. I miss the list of top contributors (formerly known as Enthusiasts). I think it was a good way to foster community and to get to know active members. It also generated some friendly competition to see who had more posts and who had higher ratings.
8. I liked the old organization with two sections to show the newest answered questions separate from the newest unanswered questions.
9. Some of the new search options are good additions. I'd like to combine the user search and the message search. For example, I might like to search for any message from Bilal on DLLs.
10. I had to make this a Top 10 list. I'm impressed by the amount of work that went into the new forums. Keep it up!

Undo/redo generate 'Save Changes to filename' pop up after 3 or 4 clicks. Is there a way to turn this off?

Running into issue with undo/redo(ctrl-z,ctrl-y) generating 'Save Changes to filename' pop up after 3 or 4 clicks. Is there a way to turn this off?

Sounds like some strange shortcut key conflict.
The first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW. Be sure hidden files & folders are enabled in Windows Explorer.

Change Conf.Ctrl (ekpo-bstae) after goods receipt on ME22N

Hi all,
we have the following issue:
is it possible to change the field "confirmation control key" (ekpo-bstae) after goods receipt on transaction ME22N?
Thanks in advance and best regards.

Hi
Let me explain in details about your requirement
It is not possible to change the confirmation control key after a goods
receipt because it is very complicated or impossible to calculate the
MRP-relevant quantities or the reduced quantities for MRP new when
there exist some confirmations yet. With the confirmation control key
ou fix the rules for the calculation of the MRP-relevant quantities.
If you then change the confirmation control key (and before you had
some confirmations) and with this change you get completely new rules
it's impossible to get the correct MRP-relevant quantities.
Note 451060 discusses potential problems that may occur when the
customization of an existing confirmation control key is changed.
The reason why after a partial good receipt the field confirmation
key is greyed, and the reason is that there is a link between the
confirmations and the GRs. If you change the confirmation control key
this link can get lost (the link is the field ETENS in tables EKES and
EKBE). If this would be possible you would get a lot of inconsistencies
in the system.
Note 451060 contains the changing of the customizing of the
confirmation control key, which is nearly the same as if you would be
able to change the control key in the purchase order after a goods
receipt.
regards,
Ramana
