Display a document library from the top site on a subsite

I want to display a document library located on the top site in a webpart located on a subsite.
I've found different solutions in 2010 but none of them have been possible to achive in 2013.
The only way that i've got it working in 2013 is described in
this Stackexchange-post, however this solution will give the webpart it's own ribbon inside of the webpart-frame.
Im wondering whether it's possible to achieve this in 2013 OOTB.
Kr, Rasmus

Depends, you could use the content search web part to dipslay the document lbirary, bit in that case the result is limited to what's already indexed.
Kind regards,

Why are my pinned top sites disappearing from the top sites page in Mavericks, after they have been pinned? Very appreciative of any help. This is making me crazy.

Moving a document library to the top level subsite

Hi community
As part of period of extensive user engagement, I want to move the development documents library to the main community site I have set up for the project board ( rather than project office site where it is now). Now I don't do this very often - last
time was in MOSS 2007 but I find myself scratching my head as to why are can't in the brave new world of SharePoint 2013. I tried in SPD 2013 and that didn't work either.
I have checked that all the relevant documents are check in. I wonder if it is a publishing feature restriction a bit like site templates????

One way to do this (via the UI), is to save the document library as a list template (and include the contents of the list with the template). Then create a new list from the template in the root site (and afterwards, delete the old list).

My macbook pro started acting strange after a safari reset. the mouse no longer: animates the dock, activates hot corners or selects pages from the 'top sites' page.

my macbook pro started acting strange after a safari reset.
the mouse no longer: animates the dock, activates hot corners or selects pages from safari 'top sites' (without a hassle). attempts to reset dock and hot corners from preferences has been fruitless
the mouse also gets 'stuck' in logic precipitating force quits.
i run osX 10.6.8 on a 2007 macbook pro that has had 2 motherboards replaced autumn 2010.
my troubleshooting has been: restart, pRam and safe boot, also checking a 'test' account to find the same issues extant.
pRam restart caused airport to quit and say there is no airport card, and wouldn't respond untill another reboot.
macbook pro 15" 2.4 GHz intel core duo.2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
i have treated this book with care, yet run logic pro studio to the limit of this book's abilities.
what shoud i do?

You don't say which year you have, however...
...there are known problems with the mid-2010 models (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US) as well as early and late 15" 2011 models (see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0).
Apple has taken ownership of the problems with the 2010 model but, unfortunately, the free logic board replacement for that model has probably long expired for you - three years after date of purchase.
One the 2011 models Apple has admitted no defect. You'll just have to skim the articles to get an overview of the problems that people are having (usually showing up as screen glitches at first and then going downhill from there).
Good luck,

Create excel file in document library from the data in datatable

Hi ,

I want to generate and excel file which will read data from the sharepoint list.
Form that data excel will be genereated in the code ,and i want the generated excel directly available in the document library.
I could use open xml of excel itneroperablity for the excel file generation.
How can i do that.

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to gather data from a SharePoint list as an excel file and upload it to a Document Library.
As you said, you can generate an Excel file using the Open XML SDK, I will provide some information about how to get data from SharePoint list and how to upload files
to a Document Library.
About the retrieving data from a SharePoint list, we can use SharePoint Object Model:

Display a document library view on a subsite

Hi
I have SharePoint 2013 On-Premise and I would like to display a document library from the top level site in a subsite. This subsite will then be saved as a template and used to create other subsites.
For example,
I have a site called Site 1. In Site 1 there is a document library called doclib1. Site1 also has a subsite called subsiteA.
I would like to display a view from doclib1 in subsiteA. SubsiteA will then be used as a template to create subsiteB, subsiteC etc.
I have tried a few things but these have not worked or I am not doing it correctly. Here is what I have tried
Copied doclib1 code from site1 to subsiteA using SPDesigner. I get the error "List does not exist......"
Used a Content Query Webpart. I get the error "Something went wrong"
Used a Data view web part. The complete page was displayed. I only want the view
Although it looks possible, I do not know how to take this forward. All I need is to display generic documents on each subsite that can be modified from one location.

Hi,
To get the custom field in the search filter. You need to follow these steps.
Go to the Search schema from the Manage Service Applications -> Search Service Application in Central Administration
Create a Managed property for your field (Category)
Map the crawl property to the Managed property.
Once managed property created, run the full crawl.
Once full crawl executed, you are able to get your filter property in the search filter.
http://blogs.perficient.com/microsoft/2012/07/sp2013-search-quickie-createmap-a-new-managed-property-powershell/
Even though 2010 article, for 2013 steps are same.

How can I update the 'Top Sites' display on Safari on my MacBook Pro?

Ok, so, up until fairly recently (around 2 weeks) when I opened Safari my topsites would be displayed as nine 'thumbnails'. And they used to show the current site, so if I had CNN, it would show the top stories of the day, yet now it has stopped and hasn't updated for weeks, so is showing old news, until I click it. Also, for NBA.com, it shows an old picture, until I click and open the site. I know this is a very trivial thing, yet it's annoying. So basically, how can I add a new tab and see the Top Sites' thumbnails updated? Thanks in advance.

Hi.
now it has stopped and hasn't updated for weeks,
The TopSites.plist file may be corrupted. There's an easy fix.
Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Safari
Click Go
Move the TopSites.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari. See if that made a difference.

How do I set EchoSign for Sharepoint web part to only sync documents that have been sent from the same site?

Since EchoSign for Sharepoint (the web part) is basically worthless with any site over 2500 documents, we have broken up our sites so that the web part can successfully traverse the site without timing out. However, within the web part, there is an option (two green arrows) to synch with SharePoint. Unfortunately, users can sync any document from EchoSign to a SharePoint library. I dont want the users synching documents that dont belong in that library. Are there any settings or coding that will allow only the syncing, or actually auto sync the documents, to within the same site?

Hi Ben,
Please refer the doc: https://echosign.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/#300000006IaDOWUzLXIiAnH9NO8_F9WhM_gpxBs
for EchoSign integration with Sharepoint.

I would like to have at least 1 of my toolbars displayed at the BOTTOM of my open browser screen.How do I move a toolbar from the top to the bottom of the page?

I would like to have at least one of my toolbars displayed at the '''BOTTOM''' of my open browser screen. How do I move '''a''' toolbar from the top to the bottom of the page? I do NOT want to do this by using an extension, and when I read about the extension, I really did not see how it would move the toolbar from the top to the bottom any open browser page.
Thank you in advance for supply the answer and procedure to get this accomplished.

Try this extension to create extra toolbar at the bottom and drag items from other toolbars on it.

Hiding a document library from specific users or groups.

Just FYI I am far from a SharePoint but have able to accomplish a lot from everyone's help on the forums, so thank you in advace.
Now, Is it possible to hide a document library from specific users or groups? Here is what I am trying to accomplish.
We have a Document library that we want the whole company to view, we will call this Company Share. We then want to have a separate library/app that
is only visible to the Finance department. Then another library that is only visible to the shipping dept.
So when Linda from finance logs into the SharePoint site under Site Contents she should only be able to see 2 items, Company share and Finance.
Tom from shipping will only see Company Share and Shipping. Administrators and Management will see Company share, finance and shipping.
I was able to hide the library using sharepoint designer by checking the box "Hide from Browser" which worked but now none of the users can view the library.
They are only able to access it via a direct URLl link.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi 3s1k,
What did you mean that "management does not want the actual folder library they are in to be visible"?
Please give more information about your requirement?
Best Regards,
Wendy

Changing The Speed Dial Icon [Custom Pic For The Top Sites]

how do i change the pic for the top sites on the speed dial. can i use a custom images like on chrome or opera??

You can use virtually any image or link as an email button, the sky is the limit. To do this just insert your image into iweb and click on the inspector button, from here you go to the very last button called the link inspector, enable as a hyperlink and chose an email message. You can then put the url of the email address you wish to link it too. As far as customizing the look I would start with one of the blank page choices. Again to specifically customize the look of your menu or anything else on the page use the inspector. If you want to create your own menu there is an option not to display navigation on your page, and this allows you to have complete control of how your page looks. Create a simple page, open up the inspector, and have some fun creating your own pages. Hope this helps.

Regarding Safari; (screen goes crazy when I press the Top Sites bottom)

Regarding Safari; When I open safari everything works fine, but when I press the top sites bottom, the screen goes crazy for a second and then goes to the top sites. It is not fading or dimming from one screen to the other like it use to do. any sugestions. Thanks

Nope, it isn't normal, but I don't know the cause. You might have better luck posting in the Safari forum:

How to install and use a plug-in downloaded from the apple site?

how to install and use a plug-in downloaded from the apple site?

Emelie,
which plug-in do you want to install?
some of the plug-ins come with an installer on the disk image, you click the installer and it will install it in its proper location.
For others you move the plug-in into to System Library or your User Library:
Your Hard disk > Library > Application Support >Aperture > Plug-Ins > Edit
or
Your Home Folder > Library > Application Support >Aperture > Plug-Ins > Edit
If it is an "Edit" plug-in, it goes into the "Edit" subfolder, "Export" plug-ins into the "Export" subfolder.
You can tell by the extension, what kind of plug-in it is.
E.G. BorderFX.ApertureExport is an export plug-in, BorderFXEditPlugin.ApertureEdit an edit plug-in.

Léonie
P.S. In OS Lion the Libraries are hidden by default: To reveal your User Library activate the Finder and select from the main Finder menu:
    Finder > Go , then hold down the ⌥-option-key, untill the Library appears in the drop.down menu.
To show the System Library:
     Finder > Go > Go to Folder
then enter   / Library
