Customize Sharepoint 2013 Blog Post forms and layout

I have a blog site that will be home to customer call reports saved as posts to the blog. The blog works, but how do I get all the custom columns to show on the blog home page that shows all of the posts. Currently, only the Posted Date, Notes, and Title
field display.

Hi Jim ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display custom columns in your home page posts web part.
Please go to the home page -> Edit Page -> Edit the Posts Web Part ->in the Posts Web Part Settings Page , click Edit the current view -> check the column you want to display and click OK.
The fields are now available to be rendered as part of the current view.
Then we need to create the custom JavaScript file that will render the new fields for the post body. You can refer to the blog:
HOW TO: Add a custom field to blog posts in SharePoint 2013
Hope this helps!

Add Columns to Sharepoint 2013 blog post comment form

Hello, I'm trying to customize my blog site and to add two more fields Name and Country when users are posting a new comments. Is there a way to do this in Sharepoint 2013 foundation?
Thank you.

Wendy, Please go through this video from
channel 9 (http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/NickDallett/InfoPath-2010-Customize-a-SharePoint-List-Form) which will uilding froom explain similar form building from scratch.
As per Peter's replay yes you can update form even after add columns in list and you can add extar control like button to your infopath form.
Workflows are usually started when creating or updating an item inside a SharePoint document library.
Open the workflow in SharePoint Designer and under "Start Options' on the workflow's home page, remove the check from "Start workflow manually...". Be sure the check either "Start on create..." or "Start on change...". In
your case I think you would use "Start on create...".
Hope these inputs will help

Unable to Customize SharePoint 2013 Discussion Board

Hi,
We are trying to customize SharePoint 2013 Discussion Board app and are unable to modify existing Flat, Subject, and Threaded views or create new views. Following are the error messages we are getting:
*** Error message when creating new views based on view types Subject, Flat, or Threaded:
TypeError: Unable to get value of the property '0': object is null or undefined
Note that when creating the view no options are available (only option to name and make default are available). The view created after display of this error message does not have any Columns, Sort, Filter or
other properties defined. Manually defining these properties does not make the view function as desired (Flat view is not flat).
*** Error message when editing existing default views Subject, Flat, or Threaded:
Cannot complete this action.
Please try again.
Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation.
Note that this is nothing to troubleshoot or error number provided. The URL shows /_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=65001. Also, the edit screen does not show any view property to change.
Note that both ability to edit existing views and create new views work in SharePoint 2010. This issue is with SharePoint 2013. Please guide to resolve this. View in other apps can be edited.
This issue is only with the Discussion Board app.
-Thanks, Maqsood.

You will not be able to modify the default view in SharePoint 2013 i.e. Subject/Flat or threaded. However you can create a new view based on your requirement and use it.
When you try to create new view, the fields will not be available for you to select during creation of view, instead create a view with proper name, once the view is created, go back for modifying the new view and you will have the fields available for selection.
Note: Make sure you have mandatory CU installed on the farm.

Display count for each category in sharePoint 2013 blog site

Hi,
I have added category list in the left side as web part in SharePoint 2013 blog site.
Here i want to show the count for each category. And on clicking on the category, it should show the blog posts related to that category.
Is there any way to do this.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi Aditi,
To show item counts on a list, you might need to query the list by title in the navigation menu and retrieve item count in the list, then use CSS to add the number to navigation menu. You need to use Client Object Model and JQuery.
Here are similar issues:

I was able to put Facebook commenting in SharePoint 2013 blog but i was not able to see moderator view when i add meta tags in head with my facebook user id.
<meta property="fb:admins" content="{YOUR_FACEBOOK_USER_ID}"/>
is there something extra we need to configure to see moderator view in SharePoint 2013.
Thanks,

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not able to see the moderator view using the Facebook comments plugin.
You can check with the below meta tag in the header section:
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="{YOUR_APP_ID}">

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.
Best Regards,
Yumi Fu

SharePoint 2013 Snippets usage advice and help

SharePoint 2013 Snippets usage advice and help
I am new to SharePoint Site development. I am creating a simple public website to look similar to their old one.
I have created a masterpage that looks OK using the design manager, and also a page layout. I have got the website looking half OK.
I seem to have difficulties all the time when it comes to snippets - and finding specific help on how to use each individual one.
So the main question - where would you advise I go to get help?
The current snippet issue is:
> regarding to top navigation menu
> I have inserted one into the masterpage - and got it working
> However it will not let me do submenus when I go into Edit Links
> But I then went to site settings and did the edit links from there
> It let me there - but it's a different menu !! (I now have two)
> I can't see this second menu from within the snippets - it defaults to one that does not allow sub menus
> So how do I change the snippet to look at the menu I was able to edit
But more generally - when I get this kind of issue, where to I look for the solution?
Thanks in anticipation

Customise SharePoint 2013 Mysite Welcome Text and Email

Hi ,
I am Trying to Customize SharePoint 2013 Mysite Welcome Text i.e "We are almost ready text.." that comes when we first enter mysite.
Since we are not using the skydrive feature, we don't want it on welcome text and also the email that follows.
Is there a way to customize that text and also the email part ?
I want to have my own customized text when mysite is created.
Regards, Rahul Poojary

Hi,
We can use JavaScript to change the text and add it in the master page in use.
Here is a link about how to use JavaScript to change the content of HTML elements:
http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_htmldom_html.asp
Here is the corresponding element in page:
Then we can apply JavaScript to the master page using SharePoint Designer.

Link Title field to custom display form in SharePoint 2013 blog site

Hi,
I have blog site in sharepoint 2013.
I want to display the item in read only view of the selected item.So I have created one custom display form.
Now I want to link this display form with the Title Field.
So that when user click on the title field, the display form should show to view only the item and if the user is approver, can approve also.
Please help me to achieve this.
waiting for your quick response.
Thank you!

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display custom display form when users click on the title field.
For achieving your demand, you need to implement an ihttpmodule and intercept the request. For more information, you can refer to the code as below:
private void context_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
HttpApplication application = sender as HttpApplication;
if (application != null && application.Context != null && application.Request != null)
HttpRequest request = application.Request;
HttpResponse response = application.Response;
if (request.Url.ToString().ToLower().Contains(http://yoursite/libraryname))
response.Redirect(newlocationurl);

Limiting Body size post list in SharePoint 2013 blog site

Hi,
I want to fix the length of the body content in the post list in blog site in SharePoint 2013.
And also i want to set the limit to show number of blog in the home page.
Please help.
Thank you!

Open page in SharePoint Designer.
When the default.aspx page is opened we can see that the web part is actually a XlstListViewWebPart. Taking a look at the XML Definition we can see that there is a field called RowLimit:

SharePoint 2013 Blog - Modify Summary View

I am using SharePoint 2013. I need to modify the blog posts to show extra fields and exclude others. When I initially tried to edit the "Current View" for the web part, I got an error. I switched the view to "All Posts", then
switched back to "Summary View" and the error went away. Now with I try to edit the Summary View, I just get a blank page with no fields to select.
Is there any other way to modify the "Summary View" for the blog posts web part for 2013?

You can customize the summary webpart using the SharePoint designer.

Issue with AjaxControlToolkit for SharePoint 2013 Blog site template.

Hi,
Please find below the details of issue -
History - We are working with SharePoint 2013 and we are using AjaxControlToolkit in our project. Basically this is a migration project from MOSS to SharePoint 2013. So we have migrated code MOSS to SharePoint 2013. Previously in MOSS project, AjaxControlToolkit
was used so after migrating we have also used AjaxControlToolkit with updated version which can work in SharePoint 2013. This is working fine now.
Scenario - There is one web application in SharePoint 2013 farm. Under this web application there are two site collections. One site collection is created with Team site template and second site collection is created with Blog site template.
There are three feature in our wsp that we have created. One feature is at web application scope (which will do web.config modifications and it will add below entry in web.config file through SPWebConfigModification in section 'configuration/system.web/compilation/assemblies'
<add assembly="AjaxcontrolToolkit, Version=4.5.7.725, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=28f01b0e84b6d53e" />
). And there are two site collection features.
Now when we deploy our solution (wsp) to web application in SharePoint 2013 farm and activate the Web.Config modification feature which is at web application level, it has added above mentioned entry in web.config file.
Our application in first site collection is working fine which we are expecting but in the second site collection which is created using out of box Blog site template, 'comment box' and Post button are invisible as shown in below screen shot -
If we remove below entry from web.config file -
<add assembly="AjaxcontrolToolkit, Version=4.5.7.725, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=28f01b0e84b6d53e" />
and refresh the Blog site page then the Comment box and Post button is appearing again as shown in below screen shot -
We also tried with updated versions of AjaxControlToolkit (Version=4.5.7.1005 & 4.5.7.1213) but no success.
I will highly appreciate if you could help me in this.
Thanks for your time.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajendra Gaikwad.

Hi,
As you said, the issue only comes with the Blog site template.
I suggest you take a look at this blog about how to make Ajax Control Toolkit work with SharePoint 2013:
