Custom List Template - Adding a substitution string

Hi all,
I have created a List template by copying an existing list template.
I want to have a substitution string so that I can assign a different identification to the list itself each time I use the list template.
<ul id="#SOME_SUBSTITUTION_STRING#">
<li></li>
<li></li>
</ul>The #A01# - #A10# seems to be applied only on list items. I cannot find a way to have such a substitution string that can be applied to the unordered list tag.
Would anyone know of a way to do that? I'm using Apex 3.1
Thanks,
Raihaan

The reason I want to be able to specify the id of the unordered list is that I have a javascript function using the id to build the rest of the list dynamically.
But if that's not possible, I will have to hardcode the "id" in the template and have a different template everytime I want to implement a list having the same characteristics.
Thanks,
Raihaan

OWC PS5 - Content Presenter - Search functionality in custom list template

We have created a custom list template for displaying the contents and use this custom list template in the content presenter task flow.
We would need to implement Search functionality in the custom template.
Any pointers on how to achieve this?
Thanks,
Navaneeth

Sorry to see that this post hasn't had a response from the search team for so long.
1 Search will not find content in portlets (for instance page portlets).
That is correct. The content of portlets may be different for each user so indexing this content can provide misleading results. However, if you only need to index public content, Oracle Ultrasearch can be used to index all portal content, including that displayed through portlets.
2 If Search Results Type in a custom search portlet is set to Pages, the search will be made in page display name, page keywords and page description. It will not search for item content.
Searching for pages checks the following pieces of metadata:
page name & display name
keywords
description
all custom text attributes associated with the page type
all custom url attributes associated with the page type
all custom file attributes associated with the page type
Items will not be searched but again, its possible to index the entire page using Ultrasearch.
3 It is not possible to search for items but get found item's page links as results.
This is incorrect. The custom search portlet allows the administrator to select the attributes that should be displayed from the search portlet's "edit-defaults" screens. From here, its possible to select the "page" attribute to be displayed with the search results. This means that you can search for items and then click on a link to go to the page on which the item resides.
Various improvements have been made for 9.0.4, including better control over the display of page results.

Custom list templates not deployed

Hi everyone,
Today I came across a wierd issue while creating some lists in SP 2010 programmatically.
I created a few lists schema, list templates and list instances declaratively.
I deployed my package and everything seems to work as expected so far.
I activated my custom feature where (intentionally) I put some C# codes to create a list instance based on one of my deployed list template.
At first, i.e last week, creating this list instance programmatically worked well.
So are those I deployed.
Today, the creation failed because the list template identified by its list-template ID does not exist.
Wierd ! I checked the package, all elements, all list template, all IDs, all 14-hive files, ... everything was OK. No packaging errors found.
Each time I deploy these list templates, they don't even appear in the silverlight-based list-creation popup.
They don't even appear in the "SP Manager" tool.
All my custom lists that was instantiated by SP (using declarative list instance), are well created,
but they don't have their respective custom logo.
And obviously, all its settings (within list template's XML file) was not applied.
It's the first time I met this kind of problem.
I even remove my content database, but the problem remains unchanged.
Does anyone have any idea of what's wrong with my list templates, or even with SP ?
Any idea to fix it ?
Thanks in advance,
Okavango93
PS : In my WSP solution, I associate one list template element to three features, so I cannot set the attribute FeatureId to the list template.

Hi,
No answer so far ?
I tore my hair out enough since a week, but finally I find out why.
I fix today my list template issue by setting the feature attribute RequireResouces to false.
If not, all element inside that feature will be hidden from the UI, and so will be the feature ... even if
Hidden attribute equals to false and even if in any SP tools the feature seems to be there.
Hope this help !

Help sought customizing a SP 2010 custom list template

I am forced to use InfoPath 2010 to edit and then publish the form for a custom list, due to problems that SP 2010 has displaying a set of lookup columns on the form.
Now that I have made the initial change, there are some other customizations that the users would like.
I have a source list for a look up column.
The source list has:
Department number - ie 27
Department name - ie Standards
Department division - ie Technical
as individual columns.
The current column is defined to use Department name. The users have asked if the dropdown could instead display the data as:
D27 - Standards - Technical
When I tried to create a calculated column that concatenated all of those on the source list, I found myself unable to submit new items for the list - SharePoint kept reporting that I needed a positive integer as a selection value for the dropdown.
Ideally what I want is the department number as the value for the dropdown, but the concatenated parts to be used as the display value of the lookup.
I have not been able to figure out how to do that.
Is there something simple that I am missing? When I look at the property of the dropdown, there isn't a way to add a formula to the display name of the data source/entries portion of the properties.

So after some work, I changed the number column to a text column in the list.
The control for selecting information on that control is not working properly now.
It is a drop down listbox control.
Its properties are:
cannot be blank
get choices from an external data source
data source is my sharepoint list that contains department number (text field now), department name, division name
entries is set to myFields->dataFields->d:SharePointListItem_RW - that is how it came out of the box, so I am assuming that it is correct
Value is set to d:SharePointListItem_RW->Department Number
Display name is set to d:SharePointListITem_RW->Department Name
When I attempt to use the form, the control is populated with the department names.
However, the last entry of the list is selected. Normally there would be nothing selected.
Even worse, if I select something else in the control, something causes the last entry in the list to be selected.
I don't know why something is causing a different item to be selected. There are no rules set on this form as far as I am aware.

Substitution string used in custom Report column name does not display in PDF version of report

I am using Apex 4.2.6.00.03, Apex Listener 2 via Glassfish4 and have set up all my applications and reports on this system. We previously used Oracle 10.2, with Apache with a custom fopping document.
My issue is that I have a report that has custom column headings using a substitution string to pull in the begin or end date for the report. When the report is run and displayed, the column headings appropriately display the date. However, when I try to set up the Print to PDF option, the column headings are not displaying correctly.
Is it possible to use a substitution string in the column heading? I am able to use the substitution string in the Page Header and Page Footer and those display correctly.
In the Report Attributes setup I have set the "Strip HTML" to Yes and I have four columns that are using the &"ITEM NAME". string. See below for actual display:
The report column headings in APEX displays correctly (bold is the substitution detail):
Fund Account Description Balance 07/01/2014 Budget/Goal FY 14-15 YTD Actual 02/28/2015 Ending Balance 02/28/2015
In the Print Attributes setup, when I get to the Report Columns section, the Heading column displays the headings as set up in the Report Attributes custom and I am not able to edit these names. See below:
In the version of the report that is Printed to PDF I get the following for display:
Fund Account Description Balance %26amp;P347_BEGIN_DATE. Budget/Goal %26amp;P347_FY. YTD Actual %26amp;P347_END_DATE. Ending Balance %26amp;P347_END_DATE.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pat

First, the misspelled word is a test object and not data.
Second, all data display correctly.
Third, text object is displaying the old misspelled word.
Fourth, I have eliminated the possibility that problems in of my pdf export routine cause this issue by exporting directly from Crystal Reports Viewer. I print the report to the crystal report viewer. The report looks good. The text object is spelled correctly. Then I click the Crystal Reports viewer's export button in the left upper corner and I export to both EXCEL and PDF. The excel export looks good. The pdf export is misspelled. All the export occurs internally in Crystal reports.
Fifth, I found outthat all users who have this problem have the ADOBE PDF writer installed. I am just suspicious that ADOBE writer is interferring with Crystal export
Sixth, I cannot recreate this problem on any of our development and test machines. It only happens on end-user laptops.
Seventh, I changed the name of the report that had this problem and created a new version and installed on end-user laptop. The behaviour still persists. User saved the report as both RPT and PDF. RPT export looks good. PDF version has the spelling problem. Data on both reports is up-to-date and good. I copied the same RPT export to my PC and exported it to PDF, the pdf looks good. That is why I think something on the end-users laptops is causing the export to use some cached template.
One more thing I did was to change the report name in VB.NET project, recreated a new package and installed on end-user's laptop. The same exact problem is still there.
I have worked with Crystal Reports more than 15 years and I have never such a weird behaviour before. I know this sounds very weird. We are all baffled by what is happening.

Cannot remove description field after adding to the Custom List

Hello,
Applies To: SharePoint 2013
Problem: We created a Custom List and added a Description column from "Add from existing site columns" link. Now we need to remove it and it seems to have been sealed. We are not able to delete it.
There is no remove/delete link/button when we click on the field. Moreover in the Content Type it only shows Required, Optional, Hidden.
Requirement: Need to remove this field from the Custom List. Incidentally we added two of the description fields. We need to remove both of them without deleting the list itself.
Thank you and
Regards
Tanzim Akhtar

Hi Tanzim,
Try the following code. I tested it and it should work for you.
Add-PSSnapIn Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell
$web = Get-SPWeb "Web URL"
$list = $web.Lists["List Name"]
$field = $list.Fields["Description"]
$field.AllowDeletion = $true
$field.Sealed = $false
$field.Delete()
$list.Update()

#BUTTON_ID# substitution string

Just curiosity, but what is the purpose/use of the #BUTTON_ID# substitution string?
Described on button template page as:
Substitution String Referenced From Description
#BUTTON_ID# Yes Template Button Numeric IdentifierSearching in Help turns up nothing, and in a quick experiment it wasn't substituted on apex.oracle.com.

Did you use a template based button?
#BUTTON_ID# is probably used only by template based
buttons. Yes
As you can see in the page source this "id" attibute
contains a big number and that is the button numeric
identifier.
Further experimentation reveals that #BUTTON_ID# is only substituted for buttons in Region positions, not button items.
I suppose that having a unique ID may allow you to
write some fancy javascript that adds visual effects
when you press the button or disables it after the first
key press.I'd be inclined to specify id or class via #BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES# rather than trying to work out what the "button numeric ID" is.
For a comprehensive list of substitutions template
you may look here:
http://oraclequirks.blogspot.com/2007/07/apex-substitution-strings-cross.html
Excellent - I've been looking for something like this for a while. Many thanks, Flavio!

Report template substitution strings? (APEX 2.2.0)

Hi all,
I am trying to customize a report template. I would like to know if there is a way to get the sort link that goes into the column headers. The next page and previous page links have the #LINK# substitution string. #COLUMN_HEADER# doesn't give me enough flexibility.
Would I have to use a named column template for this? (I don't have much idea what that is. I read about it on Scott Spendolini's blog entry on "Click in a Row".)
Cheers!

Hello,
>> I could using JavaScript rewrite the column header to be what I want after the page renders, but I'd rather it show up the way I want in the first place
Can you be more specific about what is it that you want? The report engine allows you to use custom headings. Can’t that feature help you achieve what you want?
>> Is there a list of the substitutions strings that are available to the column header?
The substitution strings you see on the templates populated by the APEX engine with snippets of code you can’t control. You can define your own substitution strings, in the application definition page (under shared components), set them with the code you need, and use them throughout the application, including in templates. The way to use them is a bit different – instead of the “#STRING# syntax, you need to use the “&STRING.” Syntax.

Arie.

Inconsistent substitution string expansion in email templates - SCSM 2012 R2

Coming to the conclusion that email templates should not be stored in a custom MP ?
I'm seeing odd begaviour where only some fields are expanded when the email is created. See below example where ID in the subject line has not been expanded but it has been expanded in the body of the email. If I store the custom template in "Service
Manager Incident Management Configuration Library" then it works as expected.
In the following notification, Subject has not been expanded yet when ID is used in a subsequent field in the email body it is expanded (Fault No.)
Also Affected User Firstname has not been expanded.
Subject: Your call has been closed. ID: $Context/Property[Type='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Id$
Fault No: IR223
Fault Description: Testing Open, resolve & close notifications
Dear $Context/Path[Relationship='WorkItem!System.WorkItemAffectedUser' SeedRole='Source' TypeConstraint='System!System.Domain.User']/Property[Type='System!System.Domain.User']/FirstName$,
Please be advised that this call has now been marked as closed.
Ian Moran

it should be noted that those substitution strings are contingent on the MP that stores the notification template. for example, 'System!System.Domain.User' is only valid if the
MP Reference "System" points to an MP that contains the element System.WorkItemAffectedUser, and that element is a relationship class definition.
to break it down:
$Context/Path[Relationship='WorkItem!System.WorkItemAffectedUser' SeedRole='Source' TypeConstraint='System!System.Domain.User']/Property[Type='System!System.Domain.User']/FirstName$
$ starts and ends a variable.
Context is one of the keywords that control the behavior of the variable, but in this case, you can read it as the target of the notification template.
Path[] means we are going down the projections path \
Relationship modifies path by specifying which relationship to follow in the brackets with the Relationship element.
SeedRole modifies path by setting which side of the relationship the starting objects is on, in this case, the "context" is the source of the relationship.
TypeConstraint filters path based on what's on the other side of the relationship, in this case, it must be a user.
Property[] means we're reading data from a property of this user, as opposed to pathing again
Type modifies property by controling which class to get the property set from
the last entry is the property name to get data from, i.e. the
FirstName property.
Consider http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff719642.aspx and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee533748.aspx, thou Context is new for service manager and is largely undocumented, I suspect it was added to address related classes, as (also speculation)
Target may refer only to the target entity without its relationships.

Substitution String in Row Template order dependant

Hi Folks,
This questions is related to an earlier Complex Detail Report Layout: Can it be done? about building a complex row template (thanks for your help, Vikas!).<br><br>
Having built the row template (Named Columns) and tested it in a separate application, I have been preparing to incorporate it into the target application. (Here's a screen shot of the work in progress.) I decided to see if I could use column aliases with the substitution strings and so added an alias to the query for the report.<br><br>
Strange values appeared (like a "Y" for a Project Name) and initially I thought the aliases wouldn't work, so I backed the change out. However, it was now quite apparent that the substitution strings were not taking their values from the column names, as I expected. I was able to put the values in the correct place by modifying the order of the columns selected in the query.<br><br>
Am I misunderstanding? Shouldn't the order of the columns in the select statement be irrelevant when named columns are used? <br><br>
Since the order in the query is NOT the order displayed in the template, and I have nearly 30 fields, (many of which are dates, and I couldn't possible guess which is which if the substitution doesn't work properly), it seems important to understand how to ensure the proper values appear in the report.<br><br>
Many thanks for your help,<br><br>
Petie

I take it back. This is whacked. Please take a look at the picture (http://tinypic.com/view/?pic=nygyu0)
OK, I had a select statement:
select ps.project_name, ps.project_manager, ps.gts_dependant, ps.gxp_relevant from project_status ps, eprs_program p
where
ps.program_id = p.id and
p.program_number = :P6_PROGRAM_NUMBERThis populated the fields #PROJECT_NAME#, #PROJECT_MANAGER#, etc. properly.
I even switched the order around and put the ps.project_manager ahead of the ps.project_name and template still worked.
I restored the order and checked again. All is good.
I changed the query and added an alias like so:
select ps.project_name as "PROJ_NAME", ps.project_manager, ps.gts_dependant, ps.gxp_relevant from ...The report showed the substitution string "#PROJECT_NAME#" (as expected, because the column was now aliased.) So this is good.
I went to the row template definition and changed the substitution string #PROJECT_NAME# to #PROJ_NAME# to match the query -- and the substitution strings broke again!
The report template now behaves as described earlier; being position dependant. Now I suspect that this is a bug, and not something caused by my mucking around.
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on the matter and potential workaround. At this point, I will likely delete the region and try creating a new region. I would hate to loose the whole page, the top part was a lot of effort. <sigh>
Thanks,
Petie

Hi Patrick,
The version info is: wwv_flow_api.set_version(p_version_yyyy_mm_dd=>'2009.01.12');
This should be wwv_flow_api.set_version(p_version_yyyy_mm_dd=>'2012.01.01');
... but this error is due to a manual modification of the export file.
We parameterise some values, so that the we can use the old-school DEFINE variables in our deploy process via SQL/plus.
One of the developers made a copy-paste error when doing that ...
So there is no bug !
Thanks for the tip !!
Kind regards,
Karel

Adding items to custom list - performance issues - Request timed out error

Hi,
I am using VS 2010, c#.
I am inserting records from an excel file, which contains 6000 records to a custom list.
I am using the Visual webpart, and oledb connection. I am not using the openXML format, as i need to use "xls" and "xlsx" type.
I am doing the below steps currently:
1) From the file upload control, i am saving the excel to the sharepoint layouts - inside that a custom folder, to keep the records.
2) Using the oledb connection to read the records and fill it in a datatable.
3) Inserting the datatable values to a custom list.
Looping through the datatable and inserting 3000 – 4000 records to List, I am getting the "Request timeout error".
Below is the sample code, where i am looping the datatable and inserting the record:
SPList prjCmpList = oWeb.Lists[strListName];
SPListItemCollection prjCmpListItems = prjCmpList.Items;
SPListItem prjCmpListItem;
foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
try
prjCmpListItem = prjCmpListItems.Add();
prjCmpListItem["Title"] = dr[0];
prjCmpListItem["FirstName"] = dr[1];
prjCmpListItem.Update();
catch (Exception)
I am using the "using block" for the spsite and web objects. When I see the execution time out in my web.config it is set to 3600. But I am getting the request time out after 2 mins only.
I have checked these link's : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa973248%28v=office.12%29.aspx
http://www.etechplanet.com/blog/how-to-import-an-excel-spreadsheet-in-sharepoint-and-save-it-as-a-custom-list.aspx
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/8664375c-fae0-483a-b43f-ce7d353b896a/importing-3000-records-to-sharepoint-list-causing-requesting-time-out-error?forum=sharepointadminlegacy
However, I am following the best practices, and also the insertion of records is to be done programmatically.
Has anyone faced this kind of issue? How to fix this?

HI,
Thanks for the reply.
If the list has custom columns which consists of string and Date types, can the same type be used? Or should the list be an empty list without any columns?
In the xml if it is put as "onerror= continue", how to fetch the records which error out?
Also, in the datatable code block, which I had put in the first post, I am also trying as below:
if(dt[1] != null)
if(!string.IsNullorEmpty(dt[1].toString())
prjCmpListItem["FirstName"] = dt[1].toString();
Can these condition checks be performed with the "processbatchdata" approach?
Thanks

Creating SharePoint Custom List using a list using a Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext object: Lists.Add method from existing Template does not Include Template Content (include content was checked for template)

The code below works assuming you have a list template setup called "GenTasksTemplate".
The problem is that even though the check box to include content was checked during the creation of the template, the task items in the new list do not get populated. What am I missing?
using System;
using System.Linq;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
protected void createSPlist(object sender, EventArgs e)

Yes. I can create a list with the template using the UI. I can also create list programmatically using the Microsoft.SharePoint library within a Windows Forms Application. If I do create a provider-hosted app referencing Microsoft.SharePoint,
it results in a 64bit / 32bit mismatch error. I am running SharePoint 2013 on a 64 bit Windows 2012 Server.
The problem is that with a provider-hosted SharePoint App, I am limited to only using the Microsoft.SharePoint.Client library which is very limited.
