Discussion forums in 2013(management view)

I have created a discussion forum and taken the management view as default view.(Iam able to see all the items that are available in the management view of that particular discussion forum/list).
When I have added this particular discussion board as a web part in a page. I have taken the management view. Iam not able to view the items. It is showing blank. I have tried in different sites.

Have to tried any other view and apply. Hope it works.

Tweak SharePoint 2013 Discussion Forum

I have a discussion forum created in SharePoint 2013. I want to make some minor tweaks, but searched everywhere on how to do it and changing random settings is getting me nowhere.
Add choice column
I would like to add a category as a Choice column so that it shows up:
1. In the Subject view, ideally before the author. E.g.
My question about so and so
CategoryXYZ | By Randar Puust | Latest reply by Randar Puust | About an hour ago
2. Editable when I add or edit a post. I know I can do this through List Settings. I just want to makes sure the solution to 1 does not break this.
Default for Question
I would like to make the Question field Yes by default. Everything starts as an unanswered question unless they explicitly turn it off.
Note: I am not afraid of changing code if I need to, but I've never actually done any code level customization of SharePoint. I've barely used the SharePoint designer. So not quite a newbie, but far from a guru.

In terms of using the Discussion Board app, either I'm not understanding what you mean (which is very possible), or you may not realize how restricted the discussion app is 2013. The three out of the box views (Threaded, Flat and Subject) do not allow
any customization at all. I can't even add columns. I've tried to add the columns like so:
But they do now show up in any of the views.
I can get it to show up when the discussion item is created and when I export to Excel, but I cannot get it to show up in the threaded view. I would include more screenshots, but this forum only allows 2 images per post, so hopefully these screenshots
help clarify my challenge.

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.

Viewing Discussion Forum in public group space

Hi all,
I have the following requirement:
a) let anonymous users visit a group space and
b) let them view discussion forum content inside that space.
I can enter the group space as anonymous user, but the Discussions Forum portlet tells me I'm not authoritzed to view this portlet.
How can I make this work?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Write a dummy custom Identity Asserter/Authentication Provider and create a Weblogic subject for anonymous users so that weblogic knows that it is a authorized user and then it will let it do what a logged in user can do.
Thanks

"Printer view" in discussion forums

It would be very convenient to have a "Printer view" in the discussion forums, like in the Articles. That way you would be able to actually see the text on the paper.

When using Safari 2.0.3 on many discussion forums,
"High ASCII" characters such as greek letters and
mathematical symbols will not display in my posts. I
wonder what could be the problem, because if I type
the same characters in Camino, they display properly
in my posts.
Many discussion forums use a Latin-1 encoding. This means the browser must convert anything above ascii into numerical references like & #12345;. Mozilla-type browsers do this, but Safari does not. Forums intended to accomodate Greek or Math should use UTF-8, like this one does.

Special Character in Subject Field of Discussion Forum

I am creating a new discussion, in the subject when i enter "Portal Discussion?" then it gives error that special character is not allowed. But i want to use the "?" in the subject at the time of creation.
After creating the discussion i can edit the same thing with special characters, then why SharePoint is not allowing to enter special character at the time of creation.

Hi
Refer this link
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/6e7a7eae-26fc-467f-bfdc-7c5d5ff49a95/discussion-forum-storing-special-character-in-title-differently?forum=sharepointdevelopmentlegacy
It seems that SharePoint will allow the Title of the discussion board to remain with the special characters, but the actual URL will not be allowed and will strip them from the final URL. SharePoint Manager easily shows this, btw.
So, there are probably many different ways to get what you are looking for, but one way could be to have a Linq query look for all Discussion Boards on a given site and then return the Title and the DefaultViewUrl, which the latter could then be prefixed by
the SPWeb.Url to give you something like "Testing? , /" for the title and http://mysite/Lists/Testing/AllItems.aspx (assuming
that is the actual default view) which you could then use as the final URL for your hyperlink in your web part.
In the code snippet below you can see the Linq query (which I assumed from your post that you need to query to find the Discussion Boards) and a simple DataTable that you could then use to populate a repeater or you just omit the DataTable and
enumerate the results from the query yourself:
var linqResults
= from list in oSPWeb.Lists.Cast<SPList>() where list.BaseTemplate
== SPListTemplateType.DiscussionBoardselect list;
DataTable oDataTable
= new DataTable();
DataColumn oDataColumn_Title
= new DataColumn("Title", typeof(string));
oDataTable.Columns.Add(oDataColumn_Title);
DataColumn oDataColumn_URL
= new DataColumn("URL", typeof(string));
oDataTable.Columns.Add(oDataColumn_URL);
foreach (SPList oSPList in linqResults)
DataRow oDataRow
= oDataTable.NewRow();
oDataRow[
"Title"]
= oSPList.Title.ToString();
oDataRow[
"URL"]
= oSPWeb.Url + oSPList.DefaultViewUrl.ToString();
oDataTable.Rows.Add(oDataRow);
oDataTable.AcceptChanges();

Welcome to the New NI Discussion Forums!

We are excited to present the NEW and IMPROVED NI Discussion Forums to you, our valued community members!
The community not only had a face-lift, it now offers a full set of advanced personalization features and it is available in seven languages!
Here are some tips to help you get around the new system:
What do the boxes next to the user names mean?
This is the new user ranking system. The three boxes represent the user’s score in the three performance metrics: ratings, posts, and logins. The darker the box is shaded, the higher the user has scored in that performance metric.
The box on the left is the average message rating the user has received.
The box in the center is the total number of posts the user has contributed to the community.
The box on the right is the number of times the user has logged into the community.
The blue boxes designate the user is an NI Employee while the gold boxes are reserved for NI Partners and customers.
How do I find a thread from the old system in the new system?
If you have the title of the thread, we recommend searching for it using the search bar at the top or bottom of the page.
If you do not have the title of thread or cannot find it with search, but you know that you posted to the thread, we recommend that you login and click on your Alias at the top of the page to view your profile. From your profile page, click on the Find All Posts by this User link and scroll through the results to find the thread.
If you do not have the title of the thread and you didn’t post to it, but you know the Alias of someone else who did post to the thread, conduct a User search to find that user. Click on their Alias to view their profile page and then use the Find All Posts by this User link to find the thread.
If you do not have the title of the thread and you don’t know the Alias of any user who posted to it, we recommend browsing the board that you believe it would be in until you find it.
How do I personalize the forums?
Once you login, click on the My Profile link at the top of the page. From the tabs on this page, you can modify your time zone, ratings preference, font size, emoticon style, etc to personalize your experience. As long as you remember to Save Changes before you leave the tabs, your forum will be personalized for you each time you login.
What languages are supported?
The user interface is translated into the following languages:
Chinese (Simplified)
Chinese (Traditional)
English
French
Korean
Japanese
Spanish
Note: The language in the My Preferences tab in the forums only controls the language for that session. As soon as you logout and login again, your language will be reset to the language that you have configured in your NI User Profile. To modify the language configured in your NI User Profile, visit www.ni.com/profile.

What does Float mean?
You can choose to pin boards or threads to the top of the lists so that when you are logged in they are the first things you see. To do this, click on the up arrow to the right of the board or message you want to Float to the top of your lists. When you no longer want this message or board at the top of your lists, you can click the arrow again to UnFloat the board or message.
Why are there smiley faces in the sample code pieces?
There are times when the pieces of code include the same characters that are used to create an emoticon in the forums. To disable emoticons so that you can see the code correctly, follow these steps:
Sign In or Register to the forums if you are not already logged in
Click My Profile in the User Bar at the top of the page
Click My Preferences to view the My Preferences tab
Change the Emoticon Type to None in the My Preferences tab in your Profile
Click Save Changes
Now when you browse to the thread, the code should be displayed correctly.
Emoticons will no longer be displayed in any messages you view in the forums until you change the Emoticon Type back to one of the other types.
If you have additional questions or feedback about the upgrade, refer to the Help or post to the Feedback on NI Discussion Forums board.

Just a couple of comments:
1. In the CVI forum, I couldn't post a message which included the C #include syntax with angle brackets. It interpreted the angle brakcets as HTML, gave me an HTML syntax error, and deleted the angle brackets as well as the .h file they enclosed. There may be a way in HTML to escape the angle brakcets so they can be included as text rather than interpreted as HTML, but I shouldn't have to do that in a C forum.
2. When I got the HTML error message above, it also deleted the file I had attached so when I posted the message, there was no attachment.
3. I don't get automatic hyperlinks in any posts I read or create. The text of the URL is there, but I can't just click to link to the new page. Am I missing some option?
4. Older but updated messages don't come to the top. I like to see new activity even if I'm not subscribed to that thread.
5. When reviewing the list of messages in the forums, I'd like to see the ratings of the author and of the reply (even before opening the message). In the old forums, the messages where tagged "Answered by Enthusiast" and/or "High rating".
6. I'd like to see the buttons to rate an answer even if I'm not logged. If I try to rate an answer when I'm not logged on, it could prompt me to log on first. If the rating buttons are only available if you're logged on, I think the number of ratings will be drastically reduced.
7. I miss the list of top contributors (formerly known as Enthusiasts). I think it was a good way to foster community and to get to know active members. It also generated some friendly competition to see who had more posts and who had higher ratings.
8. I liked the old organization with two sections to show the newest answered questions separate from the newest unanswered questions.
9. Some of the new search options are good additions. I'd like to combine the user search and the message search. For example, I might like to search for any message from Bilal on DLLs.
10. I had to make this a Top 10 list. I'm impressed by the amount of work that went into the new forums. Keep it up!

Use of Lync Icon in custom UI's built from Lync 2013 Managed API

We are a Microsoft Gold Partner with Application Developers status. I am building an application using the Lync 2013 managed API to evoke Lync 2013 client commands from a tab within my application. How can I use the Microsoft Lync 2013 icon on the
tab which opens the custom UI to display Lync 2013 client function buttons since this sends the managed API commands to the Lync 2013 client.
Who can help me with understanding the use of Microsoft icons within Microsoft provided managed API's and SDK's used to develop applications ?
Also can I redistribute the Microsoft Lync 2013 client within the application as a redistributable?

Hi,
The issue is more related to Lync development. You may post a question on MSDN forum and more Lync development expert will help you. Thank you for your understanding.

Sharepoint 2013 explorer view error - problem opening this location in file explorer (HTTPS + Win7 Enterprise 64 bit + IE9 32 bit + Office 2007 32 bit)

Hi,
We have a problem using Sharepoint 2013 explorer view. (Error - We're having a problem opening this location in file explorer. Add this web site to your trusted sites list and try again).
I'm using Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit, Office 2007 32 bit and IE9 32 bit. And the sharepoint site is a https site.
Some people in my organization are able to browse and some users getting the above error. (with the same client machine configuration)
If I clear my browser cache, closes the browser and open it then the explorer view is working. But after a minute if I try again I'm getting the above mentioned error. This 1 minute expiration happens is since the first time I have used explorer
view, not since I opened the browser.
I have tried the following on my machine:
1. Modified the web client service to run automatically.
2. Verified the sharepoint site is part of trusted sites (https://*.spsite.com/)
3. Compatibility mode is turned on.
4. Tried adding
AuthForwardServerList in the webclient registry settings under parameters. (restarted the web client)
5. Verified the BasicAuthLevel set to 1 (since we are using SSL). Tried setting the BasicAuthLevel to 2 as well. (restarted the web client)
6. Tried installing software update for web folders (KB907306).
Verified the below on the production server:
1. The web application has the root site collection.
2. It has WebDav Publishing disabled under IIS Web Server feature.
Could some one please help me in resolving this issue?
Thanks.

Hi Deepak,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to use "Open with Explorer" in a document library.
For your issue, please verify the following:
ActiveX controls must be enabled in IE.
As you are using Windows 7 Server as the client computer, you must install the Desktop Experience feature from Server Manager.
Make sure there is a working Root site collection.
Install this hotfix for windows 7 work with sharepoint 2013 :hotfixv4.microsoft.com/.../463266_intl_x64_zip.exe

Issue in incoming email settings in discussion forum

hi,
I have enbaled incoming email settings in my discussion forum list.
i have sent a email with a subject, sent to the targeted-emailid to the discussion forum and its sent successfully.
But the users whom i want to share this discussion thread were not able to receive the email in return when someone posted a reply on this forum.
Pls let me know how to resolve this if its possible OOB. any settings / config changes i need to make it on the exchaneg server or SP Central Admin ?
also how to attach a file / [ attachments ] as a reply to this discussion forum thread.

If users want alerts email for some users, you need to set alerts or ask someone to set alerts
You can set alerts in behalf of other users as the administrator for list and inidividual items. Just set up an alert like you are setting it up for yourself...Use the drop-down menu to select "Alert Me", delete your name and enter in someone else's. If
the username textbox is greyed out, you don't have the proper permissions. I think you need to have the "Manage Permission" rights of the site which is included in the Manage Hierachy and Full Control permission levels.

you can also try IAlertNotificationHandler interface to customize alert. If you don’t want to write code, you may consider using 3<sup>rd</sup> party tool about SharePoint
alert which you can find on the internet.

Discussion forum layout could be improved

In each discussion forum, topics are listed a fixed box nested inside several frames surrounded by white space.
For example, although Numbers forum has 1,911 topics, with default settings only 15 topics are listed in a 9.2" diagonal box, in the center of my 24" screen. Below the list, I am invited to click through 128 screens to see all 1,911 topics, one screen at a time. (The list length can grow to 50 by editing settings while logged on; I did not see how to do this when viewing the list.)
Suggestions:
1. allow scrolling through topics within the list view
2. allow topic list frame width to scale with the window
Can a discussion thread view be expanded?
I hope this is an appropriate comment for this area. Thank you for listening.
L Jones

The width of the frame containing a topic's text (incl. scroll bar) is approx. 800 px. This is pretty standard practice on pages with one column of content.
Even a site like the New York Times', which is five columns wide, has a max width of approx 975 px, with the main body of content and links contained within 625 px.
A 24" screen is great for many things, but it brings no particular benefit when it comes to viewing web pages at standard resolutions, because most pages are designed with smaller displays and handheld devices (e.g. the iPhone) in mind.

Discussion forum Cannot find the configuration file config\common\bc4j.xcfg

I successfully deployed the discussion form portlet and registered it with portal. I can reach the provider test page at Http://myserver:7777/forum/providers/forum
Everything seems to be good except when I add the portlet to a page, and then view the page, I see an error in the portlet:
"Unable to perform the operation: JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.JboException, msg=JBO-33001: Cannot find the configuration file config\common\bc4j.xcfg in the classpath"
I have verified that bc4j.xcfg (as I have modified it) exists in:
$IAS_HOME\j2ee\OC4J_Portal\applications\forum\forum\WEB-INF\classes\config\common
I followed the instructions exactly. Does anyone know how to resolve this error? I'm running portal 9.0.2.3.0B, PDK 9.0.2.6.2 and the latest discussion forum download (downloaded 7/1/2004)
Many thanks in advance!

No ideas anyone?
