Corporate Templates allowing users to postback through SharePoint rights settings

We currently have our corporate MS Word 2013 templates on SharePoint. We have tested using group policy to set the Workgroup template folder and pull the templates into MS Word templates gallery through SharePoint/OneDrive and it has worked. We
are now needing assistance with the following issues:
1. The first problem is that the rights required for users to access the templates (Contribute) also allows them to post back to SharePoint and not only edit the template files but other folders are inadvertently appearing, such as Document Themes.
This is a deal breaker for us if we can't set permissions to allow them to use the templates but not have write access back up to SP.
2. The second issue is that the Document Properties box pops up every time a template is used from SharePoint. This is annoying, but more importantly as in problem 1, users can then edit the document properties which are posted back to SP.
We tried making the templates available with user rights set to Viewing or Download levels (which were the read levels), but had to move up to Contribute (edit) to get it to work. Help is much appreciated!

The result of gpresult is very interesting since I have found this:
That GPO called Default domain policy is doing exactly the contrary than my actual GPO. So I removed the settings seen here so the good GPO called standard user printer install
can work. The thing is that even with GPupdate those settings never changes! I've recheck the Default Domain GPO and the old settings are gone since yesterday. For a reason unknown, it always stay on my computer.
Do you know why?

How do I allow users to upload personal files through website?

How do I allow users to upload personal files through our website?
I am trying to allow the visitors the ability to upload images for a future contest we will be hosting. I am trying to build a submit form with personal fields (already got this done) along with a field they can upload 1 or 2 images. I want the form to send me an email with details along with image files. I have a BC webbasic+ account and I am using Muse for my web editing.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi,
You could apply a "file attachment" field within the web form. If needing more than 1 file attachment you'll need to access your form code and hard-code the additional field.
The form will collect the file(s) and will be held within the case details under "related files". You can also assign a workflow to recieve notifications however only 1 file will appear in each email. To see the other files you'll need to access your order details.
All this can be create and managed within your site's admin. yoursite.com/admin
Within the site admin...

Recording video/audio files using Flash Meida Server through rmtp, and allow users to access the recorded files through http.

As titled, what is the way to record video/audio files using Flash Meida Server through rmtp, and allow users to access the recorded files through http?
What I am trying to do, is to record a user's microphone's input and save it to the server. Afterwards, I would like other users to be able to access the recorded files and mainuplating the audio data, by computeSpectrum(), to do some visualization of the audio. As I know computeSpectrum() cannot work on streaming files, so I think I need to access the recorded files using http instead of rmtp. Is that true?
How can I redirect the http request to the files I was recorded into my applications/appName folder? Or I need to somehow moved the recorded files to the /webroot folder?
Thanks!

I probably have asked a stupid question.
My recorded streams are still saved in the applications/appName/streams folder.
And I redirect the www.mydomain.com/streams to point to the applications/appName/streams folder.
And the rmtp recorded streams are abled to connect through http now.

Cannot update new field through SharePoint properties on re-pubished InfoPath form

Hello,
I would truly appreciate any help with this problem. I've searched the forum for answers to this issue, but none of the ones I've found seem to
apply.
We are using SharePoint 2007.
When I re-publish a form with a new field, I am unable to modify that new field through SharePoint properties on older forms. I have tried re-linking the old forms but that does not resolve the issue. I can re-create this problem consistently in new
and old InfoPath form libraries.
Here are the latest steps I have taken to re-create the error:
Created Form Library called Error Testing.
Created new form (from blank template) with three data fields in the data source: name, occupation and address.
Added section and all fields onto the form.
Published form to Error Testing library. All fields were promoted and selected the “Allow users to edit data in this field by using a datasheet or properties page” option.
Created and saved Form 1 in library with no issues.
Opened edit properties and was able to modify and save the content in all three fields.
Added a new field to the form template: City.
Published form to Error Testing library. The original fields, and the new field were promoted and selected the “Allow users to edit data in this field by using a datasheet or properties page”
option.
Created and saved Form 2 in library with no issues.
Opened edit properties in Form 2 and was able to modify and save the content in all three fields.
Opened edit properties in Form 1, modified all fields and got the following message when I tried to save:
"Changes could not be saved into the document. The property to change is read-only for the document's content type, or the document is missing XML elements or attributes where
the changes would be saved. Try editing the document in a Windows SharePoint Services-compatible XML editor such as MicroSoft Office InfoPath."
Modified each field one at a time and determined the field I could not edit and that was causing the error message was
the new City field.
I re-linked Form 1 and got same error message when I tried to modify the City field.
I opened Form 1 entered the city and saved.
The content of the city field appears in the SharePoint column and I am able to edit the content through the Edit Properties field.
This is an issue when we run a workflow that tries to update the new field on an old version of an InfoPath form.

You can certainly add the fields manually by using SharePoint Designer, but a more effective way to Open the form template in "Design Mode" Click "Tools" and then "Form Options" Choose "Versioning".
InfoPath defaults to not Upgrade forms automatically. If different versions are not a historical issue for this solution, then Change the default to "Automatically Upgrade Old Forms". Then republish form... The Next time you open a from in
the library with this content type it will upgrade the old forms in the library.
Have a look at this post on the same topic:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/cffd3fa0-0a53-4ef2-8c62-0764cbe9f0e2/adding-new-fields-to-existing-infopath-form-template?forum=sharepointcustomizationlegacy

Office documents not allowed to save back to SharePoint when using the "Save As.." Sharepoint hangs trying to contact the site.

I have a user who is a Sharepoint site owner (of the site in question) who just received a new machine, but every time she opens a document from our SharePoint site and then tries the "Save As.." option it hangs trying to contact the sharepoint
site. The specific message is "Contacting: (insert sharepoint site). Press ESC to cancel."
Sometimes when you choose ESC it allows you to save do what Save As should have done, but other times it will hang at Not Responding and freeze the application. I have tried repairing Office reloading IE and even gave the user a new profile, but nothing
has fixed it.
She can do this without any issue on other machines and I have found that even when I log on with my administrative privelidges I have the same issue. I have one co-worker who was able to get things to function normally however which makes this even
more frustrating.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

Hi,
Please take a look at this thread, and see if the steps in it also work for you:

In the Templates and Add-Ins dialog box, see which template is attached to the affected document(s)
Disable the component of Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation Support via Add/Remove features in Control Panel.
Hope this helps.

Corporate templates and office startscreen

Hi
I know that there is a problem with getting the startscreen in for ex Word to show what you want when you have set the path for workgroup templates. I have a similar problem.
What I want is that when the user starts for ex Word, the startscreen shows our Corporate templates. I know how this can be done and it works, as long as you not set the path for workgrouptemplates or as in our case, it looks ok until you in SharePoint has
choosen "connect to office", then the personal disapears from startscreen. instead you see featured and custom and under custom you see the templates folder but also the sharepointsites etc. This looks quite messy. I know we could go around it by
just not showing the startscreen but you have the same problem when you choose new document, and it would look so nice if the startscreen showed what we want it to.
So I wonder
Is there any policy from microsoft telling us how to manage Corporate templates in Office 2013?
Is it possible to manipulate the startscreen with coding ( I know how to customize backstage print for example, but I can not do it with startscreen or new)
Is it possible to call backstage from vba?
Best regards/ P

Add two attachment field in custom list through sharepoint designer 2013

Hi all,
I want to add two attachment columns to the SharePoint 2013 custom list through SharePoint Designer 2013 (not using ribbon attachment option) only . I managed to attach single attachment column to the attachment field. But I am not able to create second
field for attachment.
for example, one column for attaching address proof and second column for identity proof.
Any help would be appreciated.

Out of the box this simply isn't going to be possible the way you seem to want it. The attachment field does allow for multiple attachment, but I can see why you'd potentially want these separated out.
Alternative:
You could instead create a link field for each. Users load the documents into a document library and then copy the URL to paste into the form. If you potentially need multiple attachments for each, you can use an InfoPath form and a repeating table.

Help! itunes 12 wont allow users to redownload past purchases all at once like it used to. Is there a way around this?

Help! For some reason i-tunes 12 wont allow users to re-download past purchases all at once like it used to. Is there a way around this? It will only allow you to download what it calls "Recent Purchases" which in my case only would allow 250 items. I know i have at least 700 tracks if not substantially more possibly over 2000 tracks but I can't be sure. I don't know how to find that information, I've looked in itunes under the my account past purchases but id doesn't tell you how many total songs you have purchased or any relevant details. It only shows you small chunks of receipts by date but no total tracks purchased in an easy to view snapshot that I could find. The current support page says that if you have more then 2000 songs the "ALL SONGS" tab now listed above the left pan with all your purchased artists, will change to "Recent Purchases". IF apple changed this on purpose to stop user from downloading there entire library to cut down on bandwidth they have really upset me this time. At present the only way I can download all past purchases is by selecting each artist listed in the left pan one by one selecting the "Download ALL" button at the bottom right corner of the page at which point I have to input my apple password each time, which really slows things down. I have hundreds of artists and if this is the only way for customers to re-download there entire library this is ridiculous and really unnecessary to put customers through this kind hassle just to re-download all there past purchases when the whole idea of i-cloud is to make downloading and using your music simple, quick, and convenient on multiple devices. I know the old saying "your responsible for backing up your data" yeah I know that and I've been doing that for years when no one really should ever have had too. There is no reason a service that sells music digitally should not allow customers to be able to re download content purchased on there service regardless of the fact that people should just back up anyway as an extra precaution. Well sometimes backups fail like in my case and I have to re-download. No wonder paid subscription plans are so popular. You don't have to deal with any of these issues. I can only hope this is some kind of oversight by apple and will be fixed soon. Can anyone offer a quicker solution or any information about this issue? I would greatly appreciate any helpful assistance.
Again this is for Windwos 8.1 x64 with Itunes 12.0.1.26

After spending way too much time dealing with this issue myself, I discovered that you can:
- Within "My Music", select all the songs you need to download (all w/ the cloud icon - use Shift-Click)
- Right click and select download
All songs will begin downloading from iCloud

How can I allow users to view any Wiki Pages inside my enterprise wiki site collection, as PDF files

We are working on an enterprise wiki site collection, and users start adding wiki pages and link them together. But a new requirement was raised by the customer, to allow users to be able to convert any wiki page to pdf file and save the pdf file to their
local PCs. They are suggesting to add a link or an option inside the upper ribbon , named “Make as PDF”, and once clicked they can view the current wiki as a pdf file.
Not sure what are the capabilities of SharePoint 2013 to do so ? and is there any third paryt tools that allow doing similar tasks ?
Thanks

If you want to save as PDF, could you not use a PDF printer, so the procedure would be to 'Print this page' and the user then selects their PDF printer and where they want to save the file.
but in this way the user will have the page header footer, left navigation included in the pdf file. while i want to extract the body only. i so not think you apprach will work for my requirements

How to allow users to mount a Samba shares on a WXP

Through lots of reading I've managed to get an understanding of how to mount SMB shares at bootup by placing the proper edits in /etc/fstab. While having the shares of the server, running Contribs.org SME Server 6.01 (recently known as Mitel SME Server) and acting as a samba server, being mounted at startup is perfect since the server is always on. This is not the best idea for the XP workstation since it isn't always on. Here is a copy of my present fstab file with x's replacing the passwords.
fstab [B---] 0 L:[ 1+19 20/ 21] *(1085/1086b)= . 10 0x0A
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/floppy/0 /mnt/fl vfat user,noauto,unhide 0 0
//192.168.2.2/stuff /mnt/silicon2 smbfs username=kingnubian,password=xxxxxxx,user
//192.168.2.105/e-smith /mnt/silicon1 smbfs username=kingnubian,password=xxxxxxx,users,noauto
/dev/discs/disc0/part5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 / xfs defaults 0 1
I would like users with an account on the Linux box to mount the remote share on the XP box without needing to SU and consequently need the root password. When trying now to mount "e-smith" (The share on the XP box) as a user using "mount /mnt/silicon1" I get a message about needing to be SU.

To allow users to mount smb shares you need to make smbmnt suid:
# chmod +s /usr/bin/smbmnt
Note however that the user needs to own the directory used as mountpoint. So I don't know how to make 'mount /mnt/silicon1' in your setup work for all users.
For the users to be able to unmount the smb shares as well you need:
# chmod +s /usr/bin/smbumount
Now users can do 'smbmount //server/share mountpoint -o username=whatever' or simply 'mount mountpoint' if the details are specified in fstab. To unmount root can do 'umount mountpoint' or users can do 'smbumount mountpoint'.
Don't confuse smbmount with smbmnt - the first is the command you use to mount shares manually, the second is the one that should be suid and is used both by smbmount and by mount -t smb.
Hope this helps.

How can I create a link that allows users to convert a Wiki pages into PDF format.

I am working on an enterprise Wiki library site collection, but I want to create a link named “Convert to PDF” , which allow users to convert the current Wiki into a pdf file. I need this link to be displayed some where in all the exsiting Wikis pages, and
on any new wiki page. Can anyone advice if there is already such as capability within sharePoint 2013.
Thanks

Hi,
For your requirement, we can add this link to the master page, then it will appear in the pages which apply this master page.
To convert the current page to PDF, you can take consideration of using jsPDF.

Form fields in LiveCycle. I want to allow users to add URLs to a form so that they can be clicked and opened on the web by form reviewers (users). what is the best way to achieve this?

Form fields in LiveCycle. I want to allow users to add URLs to a form so that they can be clicked and opened on the web by form reviewers (users). what is the best way to achieve this?

Once the user has entered the URL they want to add to the form. You can use the loadXML function to implement some special text in a label...
var linkValue = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><exData contentType=\"text/html\" xmlns=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.8/\"><body xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xmlns:xfa=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/\" xfa:APIVersion=\"Acroform:2.7.0.0\" xfa:spec=\"2.1\"><p style=\"font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:0in\">The new link the user have entered is:<a href=\"" + textfield.rawValue + "\">textfield.rawValue</a></p></body></exData>";
this.resolveNode("lblURL").value.exData.loadXML(linkValue, 1, 1);

Zero Client Design - allowing user to create document like a word document

Hi All,
I am planning to develop an internet based application. How can i allow user to start creating a document (Let say Word document). User does not have Microsoft Word installed on his/her client computer. my application offers create new document.
User clicks "create new" link on the page. Is it possible to lunch the word in create new page to let user to create document and at the end click Save link on the page to save it on to server?
Is it possible to call the word application from the sever?
Thanks
Sam

I've never tried it and there may be alternative ways of doing it, but I would think the only way you can provide formatting tools - without recreating each tool - is to use an Applet.
What you're trying to do is create a document object on the server, have the user select an command on the client side (such as underlining text), have the client pass the command back to the server, and echo the results of that operation, right?
It would be incredibly awkward and impractical to do that through a conventional stateless HTTP medium such as JSPs, PHP or JavaScript. It may have been done before, I'm just not aware of any attempts to do so.
Are you willing to consider alternative third-party solutions, open source or not? Or is this something that you explicitly have to code?

PWA site template with warning "Your Local Machine Time Zone does not match your current Sharepoint Regional Settings"

SharePoint 2010 (SP2010 SP1+ AU CU 2011) site built with Project Web Access template shows message in yellow "Your Local Machine Time Zone does not match your current Sharepoint Regional Settings."
KB Article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2749599/en-us suggests applying Windows and SharePoint updates, but does not points to a specific update. Also suggests to enable "Always follow
web settings" for affected users who are in different time zone than the server time zone, but it does not work either.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that SharePoint 2010 (SP2010 SP1+ AU CU 2011) site built with Project Web Access template shows warning "Your Local Machine Time Zone does not match your current Sharepoint Regional Settings".
Users are getting this message even after correctly specifying and changing the timezone in their Sharepoint Settings. This is a common problem across the net, but we've found a workaround
that will eliminate this problem.
Step 1: Open your Web Database in your Browser
Step 2: Click the Arrow Under the Login ID (upper right corner)
Step 3: Choose My Settings
Step 4: Click the My Regional Settings Link
Step 5: Uncheck the 'Always Follow Web Settings' check and specify your time zone.
Step 6: Click OK
For more information, you can refer to:
