Control order of CustomAction.. added to the 'Site Action' menu drop down?

Hello,
I have a module through which I am using <CustomAction ...> to add some desired action items to the 'Site Action' drop down. Custom actions are added successfully; however, the order in which they appear is the
problem. 'sequence' attribute is no help at this point as i have tried setting it to '0', '10', and '20' but no go.
You time and response is greatly appreciated.

Site Actions Menu randomly disappearing

Hi,
We currently have a situation were the Site Actions menu/button randomly disappears for users that should have site owner permissions. The Site Actions menu will appear for a short while after assigning site owner permissions however will disappear shortly
after. The only way I'm able to get it to display again is to remove owner premissions from the user then re-add them again.
Has anybody seen this behaviour?
Further information:
Using SharePoint 2010;
Using Claims Authenication, Trusted Identity Provider ADFS;
Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben,
Please check whether there is a web part that is crashed on the site.
Whether this issue occurred for all users who have site owner permissions.
Please try to go to IE advance setting tab and reset the settings, compare the result.

Sharepoint 2010 - Hiding 'Site Permissions' on the Site Actions toolbar for an entire site collection

Good morning,
I have been tasked with creating a feature that will allow a customer to hide the 'Site Permissions' menu option on the Site Actions toolbar.
I was thinking this could be done easly with a site scoped feature with a feature.xml as follows
and a manifest file like this
I think what I have listed is an incorrect HideActionID but I am not finding the correct ID listed anywhere in the documentation.
The other two custom actions that are in the manifest work perfectly and hide 'delete web' in site settings and add a new item to the site actions toolbar.
Can you point me to the correct HideActionId for site permissions or tell me where to look.

I will agree with Paul, but just in case if you dont change approach, below client side code may help.
<script type="text/javascript">
var doc = document.getElementsByTagName('ie:menuitem');
for (var i = 0; i < doc.length; i++){
itm = doc[i];
if (itm.id.match('MenuItem_SitePermissions') != null){
itm.hidden=true;
break;
</script>
jQuery:
$('ie\\:menuitem[id*=MenuItem_SitePermissions]').attr("hidden","true")

Changing the size of a drop down list

Hi Everyone,
Is there anyway to change the size of a drop down list? For example, our customer would like to make the drop down list for the Ship-To field on the logistics tab of the sales orders longer. Currently, they cannot see the full name when they scroll through it. Is this possible? Depending on what Customer Code they enter, the field size appears to change.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Amanda

I am using Tahoma size 10 as well.
Is the drop down size somehow related to the size of the first few records? So, if those are shorter than those at the end, perhaps it doesn't adjust for the size of the bottom records. For example, in our customer's database here's a sampling of what they have entered and the order:
Wal-Mart 6124
Wal-Mart 6125
Wal-Mart 6126
Wal-Mart 7001
Wal-Mart Supercenter 1111
Wal-Mart Supercenter 2094
Wal-Mart Supercenter 3475
The drop down box is large enough to see the Wal-Mart 6124, etc. but not large enough to see the Wal-Mart Supercenter ones at the bottom of the list (keep in mind there are over 100 ship-to's for this Business Parnter). Does it maybe only look at the first fifty records or something like that?
Thanks again,
Amanda

Getting the value from a Drop Down Box

I'm working on a database project to keep track of our Blackberrys. The problem I'm having is entering the values for two drop down boxes. The page I'm working on enters the FirstName, LastName, Department, and Location. Department and Location have thier own Primary Keys and are foreign keys in the Person table. Departments and Locations are aligned by numbers like 1 = Ohio, 2 = Chicago. They
don't automatically increase. The problem I'm having is entering them as a foreign key in the Person Table. I'm not sure if I use a getValue or getSelected or some other code to get the values to populate in the Person Table. I just keep getting a can't add department or location to table.
public String newUser_action() {
// TODO: Process the button click action. Return value is a navigation
// case name where null will return to the same page.
if (personDataProvider.canAppendRow()) {
try {
RowKey rowKey =
personDataProvider.appendRow();
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.FIRSTNAME", rowKey,
firstName.getText());
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.LASTNAME", rowKey,
lastName.getText());
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.DEPTID", rowKey,
department.getSelected());
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.LOCATIONID", rowKey,
location.getSelected());
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.BEGINDATE", rowKey,
newDate.getText());
//personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSONDEVICE.AQUIREDATE", rowKey,
newDate.getText());
personDataProvider.commitChanges();
info("New User " + newUser.getText() +
" added to USER table");
newUser.setText(null);
} catch (Exception e) {
log("Cannot add new User ", e);
error("Cannot add new User: " +
e.getMessage());
} else {
log("Cannot append new User");
error("Cannot append new User");
return null;
}

I cannot open pages on my MacBookPro. I get a message to update it. In my software update in the apple menu drop down, it shows no updates at this time. I have iWork '09.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs, including files that refuse rto open:

HT4864 The Outgoing Mail Server drop down box in mail setup keeps reverting back to 'None' - anyone have any ideas why?

Hi
I've been having difficulties with mail on my Mac and have checked all the settings. I have three mail accounts, 2 iClouds (different acct names) and 1 bigpond account.
Whenever I change the outgoing mail server drop down boxes for the iCloud accts and save my changes, I go out of it then when I go back to the iCloud accts the drop down boxes for both iCloud accounts have reverted back to 'None'.
Is this of any relevance? Is it 'normal'?
I've tried deleting all mail accounts and adding them all again but the same thing still happens.
I have been on Apple Support and followed the Mail Acct setup tutorial.
I'd appreciate any help on this matter thanks.

Thanks for your reply Winston Churchill.
Because I'd been having problems which had recently been resolved by AppleCare Support I decided to go through all my accounts and check their individual settings. I found a Tutorial on Apple support for setting up or verifying email account settings and found mine were different so I changed it.
In any event I took your advice and just went with the option of automatically setting the iCloud accounts up and I haven't had anymore problems thus far - fingers crossed.
I do however note that my drop down box in account settings still says 'none' for the outgoing mail server and the 'use this server only' check box isn't ticked despite being ticked in the 'verify account' info on the tutorial, so hence my question to the community - did this matter and what was the difference?
I will let sleeping dogs lie I think and will see how I go.
Many thanks for your help.

Scheduling Gantt: How to work with the "zoom-to-fit" drop-down

I'm trying to figure out how to work with the "zoom-to-fit" drop-down on the scheduling Gantt dvt control. It has choices in the drop-down that are not appropriate for my project. The documented purpose of this drop-down is to allow the user to zoom to a level that would allow a certain time range to "fit" within the current window. The choices start at "1 Week" and go up through "2 Weeks", "1 Month" etc. The problem is that the projects I'm displaying are generally just a couple of days long, and consist of many small tasks. So even 1 Week is too big. Also, no matter what I pick in this drop down, nothing happens.
So my questions are these:
1. Can I change the choices in this drop-down? If so, how do I do that?
2. If not, then how can I remove this drop-down? (I figure I probably can if I disable "zoom", but I don't want to do that.)
3. How do I get this to actually do something? I assume maybe I have to code some listener somewhere, but if so, how do I do that.
Thanks for any hints, tips and advice!

Currently, we do not allow customization of zoom-to-fit. Please file an ER. We could add a param to featuresOff attribute to disable/remove zoom-to-fit from the toolbar without disabling/removing zoom.

I have version 3.6.16 and when I login to my hotmail account, and type the first letter of the email address, a drop down box appears with my hotmail address and I can choose it from that box with a click. How do I get version 4 to do this? Thanks.

The new but not-ready-for-prime-time autocomplete method searches for matches that contain the entered text, not just ones that begin with the string. Your options are:
1) type in longer strings that narrow the search
2) use an add-on to search just the beginnings:

3) install an older version of TB:

Custom field not getting populated in the "Show Results where" drop down

Hi all,
In appointment detail page by clicking on Add button on the user related information section , it takes us to a search layout showing the list of available users.
Here we have to filter the user's based on a custom field which has already been created in the user object. But I am not able to add the custom field in the "Show results where" drop down for which the search has to be done.
It is getting reflected in the normal search layouts.So Can any one tell me why the change is not getting reflected in the user related info search layout?

I tested your use case and you are correct. I would recommend that you submit a service request to CRM On Demand customer care in reference to this issue.

Getting the rawValue of a Drop-Down list on the "change" event

I am having problems getting the rawValue of a Drop-Down list on the "change" event. It seems that you have to select the same item twice in a row to get the rawValue to be the value of the selected item.
::dropdownlist onChange event::
xfa.host.messageBox(this.rawValue);
On the first time a value is selected you get 'null'. The second time the same value is selected, you get the selected value.
Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is happening? Also, I CANNOT use xfa.event.newText, I need to use the rawValue of the dropdownlist.
Thanks

The change event occurs before the rawValue is changed. If you NEED to use the rawValue you'll need to use a later event. Perhaps you could use exit so that it gets triggered when the field loses focus?

I'm having problem with text boxes. Whenever i hit the enter button to start a new line or paragraph, the cursor doesn't drop down to the next line. Instead i get this little red + sign in the box.

You are absolutely right. Thought Enter meant Enter. I was wrong. Thank you for the help.

All the menu drop-downs just flicker when I press them.

All the menu drop-downs (File, Edit, View, etc.) don't display and hold when I press any of them. They flicker on but immediately the content disappears and all that's seen is a ghost outline of the drop-down box. This happens with the major menu items as well as all of the sub-menu items.

Try to disable hardware acceleration.
