Community sites, Discussion List

I created site from Community Site Template and activated publishing features.
On the Welcome Page(publishing page) there is Discussion XSLTListViewWebpart - OOB webpart. In this case from Settings menu if I click 'Edit Page' nothing happens. I have found work around: first make Check out from Page tab, then Edit.
If I remove this webpart from publishing page everything works perfect.
Has anybody faced with such issue of Sharepoint Community Sites with activated Publishing features?
I will appreciate any answers

Hi,
I tried to reproduce this issue in my environment, it turns out that all works as normal.
I suggest you create a new Community site and do the test in the Internet Explorer.
Feel free to reply if the issue still exists.

SharePoint 2013 Community Site Discussion List Custom View Issue

I need to create a custom view to show the discussions updated in the past 7 days and ordered by most replies. I have created a custom view based on the subject view and included the following columns:
Body
Category
Last Updated
Modified By
Replies
Subject (linked to item
the problem is that when you click on the subject link, it does not return that discussion. We get the message that There are no items to show in this view.
This happens even if I use the Flat or Threaded view option when creating a custom view.

You haven't most probably set the "Folders" property when setting up the view. Go to Folders property and set Show this view: In the top-level folder. Also, in Sort property select Replies column and set it to Show items in descending
order and in Filters property set Last Updated column "is less than or equal to" [Today]+7

Deleting a 'Best Reply' in a Community Site Discussion Board breaks post

Hi all,
I've recently been working with the community sites discussion board functionality and have run into an issue. If I mark a reply in a discussion board as a 'best reply' and then delete the original reply the discussion board webpart still shows with
the 'best reply' tick in place. More concerning is that once this has occurred if I refresh the page at all a "TypeError: 'undefined' is null or not an object" error will start generating when trying to post to the discussion.
The following steps outline how to generate this error:
Create a new Community Site
Click 'new discussion' on the homepage of the new site
Enter a subject and a body and save
Click into your new discussion and write a reply
Mark this reply as a 'best reply'
Delete the reply
Notice that the tick and the 'Best Reply' header are still displayed
Refresh the page
Attempt to reply to you discussion - the error will be generated
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Johnny.

JS Link breaks Discussion List Management View

Adding a JS Link value to the web part for the Community Sites Discussion management view breaks page. First the Item render breaks down, and page becomes blank on refresh; even worse the Miscellaneous section of the web part properties go missing,
so the JS Link value cannot be removed.
Why does SharePoint do something so destructive, requires deleting view.
Items fields render as [objects] when JS Link value is first applied, but page become blank after refresh.
JS Link not supported for List Views?

Hi,
Here is a blog about the JSLink Display Template Rendering Issues for your reference:
http://www.myfatblog.co.uk/index.php/2013/08/list-view-web-parts-and-jslink-display-template-rendering-issues/
If the issue still exists, we can use jQuery and CSS to instead of the JSLink or try to update the SharePoint versions.

How to enable enable Quick Edit button in Discussions List (SharePoint community).

I wonder how I can enable the Quick Edit button in Discussions List (SharePoint community), see attachment. This is no problem on other list in SharePoint. I need to import data that I have in a Excel sheet from and old forum (not Sharepoint). So if I can
enable Quick Edit, I will just copy data into my Discussions List. Hope somebody can help me???

Hi,
Please execute the commands below to enable Quick Edit feature in Discussion board list:
$web = get-spweb "http://sp/sites/sitename"
$list = $web.Lists["listname"]
$list.DisableGridEditing = $false
$list.Update()
Now you could use Quick Edit in Management view.

Community site category webpart discussion problem

We have a community site with the category webpart. We have 5 category tiles and all of these contains there own discussion boards. Everything worked fine in the beginning but then something happend. The problem that occured is that if i post a
discussion in one of these category that post shows up in all categorys. If I add a webpart in one category all categorys get the webpart. very strange!
Any idea what to do? I thought that I could try to deactive the community site feature and then re-activate it again but afraid that all discussions will be lost?
Grateful for all help I can get.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that posts showed up in all categorys.
I try to reproduce the issue, however, everything works well.
If we deactive and reactive the community site feature, it will remain the posts.
Please make sure you don’t define the default value of the Category column to all in the Disscussion List.
If you define the default value to all, it can add post to all categorys.
If not, please make sure the Category is correct when you create new post in the discussion board.
Please check whether the What's happening web part stores the correct data.
In addition, I recommend to create a new Community site to check whether it works well.

What's Happening Web Part not showing number of discussions on Community Site

Hello,
I have the What's Happening Web Part on the landing page of a community site in SharePoint 2013 Enterprise On-Premises.
The What's Happening Web Part shows number of members and discussion replies correctly, but does not show any discussions.
Any idea of where to start troubleshooting?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Aries,
Thanks so much for your response. Here are the anwers to your questions
1. is there any customization process on this webpart? - No customizations
2. have you try to restart the community feature from the site feature option in site settings? - Not yet. Thanks for the suggestion. This is a Communities Site Collection. All of the other Community features are working. Should I ask the Farm Admin to restart
the communities feature?
3. have you tried to add another what's happening webpart at newdummy site? No I haven't. Great suggestion. Kinda embarresed that I didn't think of this. Must have been tired that day.
4. is there any steps that you did before?, because in my lab box seems the webpart works well. - I tried deleting it from the page and then adding it back, but to no avail. Will try a test site.
Thanks again for taking the time to answer. I will test and then mark your reply as an answer if all works out.

SharePoint 2013 Blog Site or Discussion LIst - Comment on a Comment

Hi,
Quick question. Is anyone aware of a plug-in or feature or new blog add-in for SP 2013 that allows "comments on comments". From what I can tell in the blog site and discussion list, you can only comment on the original comment.
You cannot comment on someone else's comment as in a tiered fashion.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Thanks! Patti N.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to be able to comment on someone else’s comments displayed in a hierarchical structure.
In SharePoint 2013, it’s by default that the Discussion Board list’s replies are in the “Flat” view, and it won’t display the replies in a hierarchical structure.
However, the Discussion Board list have another default view is the “Threaded” view, and it can display replies in a hierarchical structure.
Therefore, I recommend that you can directly modify the default view of the Discussion Board list’s replies to the “Threaded” view to achieve your requirement.
For SharePoint 2013 Blog site, as a workaround, I suggest that you also can create a Discussion Board list into it to implement this function.

Creating a new Hashtag within a Discussion in a Community site - Can it be done?

Hi,
Can somebody confirm whether we can create new hashtags by typing them in the
Description field of a new Discussion within a Community site?
I can't seem to be able to create new hashtags...however, any existing hashtags that was already created before are automatically recognized.
Can new hashtags be created within a community site? Or just within a newsfeed?
Thanks!

Built-in moderation facility in community site collection

hi,
Would like to know what are the Built-in moderation facility features available in community site collection template and its subsites.
help is appreciated

A good response to this is the summary of what a community site is from this
NBSP Community Site summary article. I'll quote directly from it for your ease of reading
Feature
Description
Discussions
Members can post an opinion or question to
start a new discussion. Other members can reply to and like the post. The member
that started the discussion has the ability to mark a chosen response as the
‘Best Reply’. Moderators have the ability to mark a chosen discussion as a
‘Featured Discussion’.
Categories
Members can create categories to organise
their discussions. When a new discussion is posted it can be assigned a category
which other users can filter by.
Badges and Reputation
Moderators can assign badges to members to
indicate their status within the community, e.g. Subject Expert. Members can
earn reputation by posting in discussions and through recognition by other
members of their posts (e.g. when their content is liked or marked as a best
answer).
Members
A list of all members, including their
badges and reputation earned, is held on the community site. Community Sites can
be set to allow any new users to join or an approval process can be set to
manage new members.
Hope that helps.

Can I get the value for community site's What's Happening web part with Powershell?

I need to generate some statistic reports for our SP2013 community site. Some of figures I need are "no. of discussion", "no. of replied" and "no. of members" which are already listed in the "What's Happening" web
part.
Can I directly get this counters with PowerShell instead of calculating from "Discussion Board List"?

Hi,
As we can see from “Site Contents” page, the data displayed in the “What’s happening” stores in these two lists “Community Members” and “Discussion List”, if you want to retrieve
the data using PowerShell, we will need to access these two lists directly.
Thanks

Any help appreciated!

Hi,
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest you do as the followings:
1. Check the ULS log for more detailed error message, for SharePoint 2013, the ULS log is located at the path:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
You can use ULS Log Viewer to check the information in the log.
2. You can use fiddler to track if there is something wrong in the workflow request.
Here are some detailed articles about debugging workflow:

Hi Santhiya,
I have seen a similar post from you, my understanding is that you wonder that the reply is mapped to the related subject. You can take a look at Daniel's reply in the following thread:

SharePoint 2013 Community Site Best Answer Reply *BUG detected and Temporary Resolved*

Hi to all,
This is a BUG detected with a temporary solution for that problem:
* Community Site with many Categories and Discussions.
1.- Make a new discussion.
2.- Give some answers in that discussion.
3.- Mark one as the "Best Answer".
4.- Delete the "Best Answer" reply message.
5.- Your Discussion have been blocked, and there isn't option to use. The drop down button of the discussion do not respond, and new message or reply aren't appear.
SOLUTION:
Enter to Recycle Bin in the SharePoint Site Collection Site Settings and restore the message deleted. For Administrators this is the best option.

The context menu contains 'Best Reply' not 'Best Answer'; what about the case where the reply is an answer just not the 'Best Answer'. No way to mark a discussion question as answer without making a weak answer the 'Best Answer'; seems flawed.
Hoping the Community Site approves.
