DocIcons displaying incorrectly on Discussion Board web part

We are seeing some odd behaviour when adding an attachment to a Discussion Board post. It looks like the sprite sheet (or DocIcons) are displaying incorrectly. Screenshot below:
Thanks for any help.
Casey

Hi Casey,
I tested the same scenario per your post in my environment, however the image displayed in the subject view of the discussion board list was shown as below:
It is by design that SharePoint uses this image for displaying in the subject view for the discussion board list.
From the image in your post, it seems that the image displayed in your list has been changed by the customization.
Was there any customization on the subject view of the discussion board list?
To narrow the issue scope, I recommend to create a new discussion board list to see if the issue still occurs.
Thanks,
Victoria

Sharepoint 2013 Discussion Board Web Part, Subject line link on Home Page does not link to the list view

I am by no means a SharePoint developer, but I really wanted to customize the discussion board for my site - so I found this link: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/733164/How-to-create-HelpDesk-on-SharePoint-Online
I added the columns, like the article said, and then completed the section "Modification of the discussion board views". I skipped the workflow stuff because while I think it would be useful I wanted to make sure I could get
the actual customization of the discussion board to work first.
My Problem (Just to preface - I followed the above instructions, including disabling the Minimal Download Strategy):
When I clicked into my discussion board list, I was able to get it to look and function as described for both the subject and flat views. However, when I click on the Subject, from the Discussion Board Web Part on my Home Page, it does not redirect into the
Discussion Board List Flat View. Instead, it tries to open the root folder from the Home Page while still using the subject view. The outcome being an empty discussion board on the Home Page.
So I decided to create a whole new discussion board to see if that one would work, when I inserted a new Discussion Board Web Part into the Home Page, newly created from the app menu, it used the same custom JS file(plumTickets), even though I never linked
the discussion board to the JS file. Of course when I went into the newly created Discussion Board list it opened as it does OOTB.
I am so close it having this work like I have been envisioning. I just need users to be able to click on a discussion subject from the Home Page and be redirected to the list view of the parent folder (I think that is the correct terminology,
but it may not be) so they would be able to see any replies and be able to reply. Please Help Me!!!
I truly appreciate any help you are able to provide, thank you!

I figured it out. I was using ?FilterField1=fieldname&FilterValue1=value on the URL to the page to pick out one project number. The web part I was trying to add was for a list that did not have that particular fieldname. I didn't realize that would matter
since I was using the Connections -> Get Filter Values From to get my filter values from the main web part, which does have that fieldname.
I added a field with that fieldname to the other list and set a workflow to copy the lookup value of the project number lookup field into the new field. Now all is working fine. Sorry for the wild geese in my original question.

"One or more field types are not installed properly" when I try to add a second discussion board web part to a page

I have a SharePoint 2010 site with two discussion boards. I added one additional field to each of the boards: a lookup to another list to link the discussions to individual projects. I need 2 different boards because they have different posting permissions
(one is open to all for comments, and one is open only to the project team to post but everyone can read).
When I go to the pages for each of the discussion boards, they work fine.
But I'm putting together a page for individual projects, and want to have web parts for both discussion boards on the same page, showing the discussions related to the selected project.
I am able to add one of the discussion boards to a web part in the page, but when I add the second discussion board to the page, the new web part contains:
One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields.
Correlation ID: blah blah blah
I've searched for similar postings, but mostly I see this error message related to migration from 2007 to 2010 -- this is not the case here: I created both discussion boards, and the whole site, in SP 2010. I've also found this message related
to coding errors using SPQuery. I am not doing any coding here, just using the built-in SharePoint 2010 Edit Page -> add a web part -> select the discussion list. I tried doing it from SPD with the same result.

I figured it out. I was using ?FilterField1=fieldname&FilterValue1=value on the URL to the page to pick out one project number. The web part I was trying to add was for a list that did not have that particular fieldname. I didn't realize that would matter
since I was using the Connections -> Get Filter Values From to get my filter values from the main web part, which does have that fieldname.
I added a field with that fieldname to the other list and set a workflow to copy the lookup value of the project number lookup field into the new field. Now all is working fine. Sorry for the wild geese in my original question.

Note Board web part to display comments for explicit Document Set

I guess my question falls under 'Other customization' hence my post here.
Scenario:
I have a Document Set content type enabled for a library. At the moment I have a few "folders" [document sets] that contain their respective documents.
I edited a Document Set welcome page to include a Note Board web part. I edited the Note Board web part by adding a 'URL for note' to be a URL of a random Document Set welcome page while in edit mode.
(Basically, I went to a 'ABC' document set page, clicked edit page, copied URL from address bar, closed that page, went to 'Customize Welcome Page' for all document sets in that library, edited Note Board web part by pasting the link into its 'URL for note'
field)
Problem:
Currently, all comments are shared between all document sets (folders). When I go to 'ABC' document set and post a comment, I can see my ABC specific comments in e.g. 'XYZ' document set.
I want to have comments specific to each document set displayed on a respective page for that document set.
Solution?
I realize that I must have gotten an URL for a Note Board web part wrong and it does not filter comments explicit to each document set but fetches the comments from whole the library. My url is currently:
https://intranet.domain/sitecollection/library/Forms/Machine%20Process%20Pack/docsethomepage.aspx?ID=2&FolderCTID=0x0120D520009EDF2E3A3112B041AC6EC1D4133D77550000C297D6CB32E349A435E04924DC6C58&List=7b052f9c-7e35-4251-b66d-3bcdd2950014&RootFolder=%2Fuk%5Fqhse%2FProcess%20Packs%2FSigma%202345&RecSrc=%2Fuk%5Fqhse%2FProcess%20Packs%2FSigma%202345&PageView=Shared&InitialTabId=Ribbon.WebPartPage&Visi
I know I have to strip this URL from some parameters, presumably leaving just ID, FolderCTID, List and RootFolder.
Could someone actually tell me exactly how my URL should look like if I want to display comments only for a given document set on its welcome page?
Thanks!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display comments only for a given document set on its welcome page, not display for all the document sets.
If so, you should not set the “URL for note” field in the Note Board web part, you can just leave it blank, then when you post a comment in one document set, the others would not display the comment.
Thanks & Regards,

How to add the Note board web part to a page with powershell

Hi everyone,
I've been looking around everywhere but haven't seen it explicitly mentioned.
Does anyone know how to add the Note Board web part to a Team Site page, e.g. Non-publishing site, Left Zone, First webpart in the zone in powershell?
Examples like this one http://adicodes.com/adding-web-part-to-page-with-powershell/ only talk about custom web parts uploaded from a local drive.
The example here looks good - http://spcrew.com/blogs/lists/posts/post.aspx?id=21 but is it for the Page Viewer Web Part. How would you go about getting the correct name for the note board web part and configuring it?
Many Thanks,
Ashley

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add the Note board web part to a page with PowerShell.
The name of the Note Board web part is SocialCommentWebPart.
I recommend to use the powershell code below:
$pageUrl="http://sitename/SitePages/test.aspx"
$SiteURL="http://sitename"
$site = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($SiteURL)
$web=$site.OpenWeb()
$webpartmanager=$web.GetLimitedWebPartManager($pageUrl, [System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope]::Shared)
$webpart = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.SocialCommentWebPart
$webpart.title="Note Board"
$webpartmanager.AddWebPart($webpart, "MiddleZone", 0);
$web.Close()
Then the Note board web part will be added to the page.

I have a report that is featured and is available for Q&A and now I want to display this functionality in a web part of a site.
I am using a trial right now, so I am not sure if I have all the necessary licences, but I am really new to this subject so a link to msdn page or blog item might already do the trick.
This is what I have right now:

Web Part Not Re-sizing Based on Width Property

I have a SP 2010 publishing site with a custom master page, using the Body Only page layout. I inserted a discussion board web part in the page content section of the page. When I go into the standard web part properties and try to set an absolute
width (in pixels), the web part itself does not squeeze down to this size. Instead, the web part content stays the same size, and some other div involved gets the width applied and covers up the web part content (sounds confusing, see image below for
example).
I tried this on a site with no master page and a web part zone, and it the web part content itself resized, which is what I was hoping to see above. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Does the web part need to be in an actual web part zone in
order to resize? Or is this all just a problem with my custom master/styles? I suspect it may be the latter, but I'm not sure how much control I have to fix it. Anyway, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Image samples below
to illustrate the issue.
IMAGE 1: See how "Last Updated" is cut off at the end? This was set to 600 pixels. The web part content doesn't resize.
IMAGE 2: This was set to 500 pixels in a traditional web part zone on a page with no custom master. The content resizes as expected.

I would use the Internet Explorer Developer tools to inspect the page and the styles being applied to the webpart. That will give you a clear understanding of what styles are being applied to your webpart (and the HTML that the webpart renders).
You can then use an HTML Form webpart (or attach a stylesheet) to apply CSS styles to override the width property and any other styles that require changing, in order to get the webpart to display correctly for your given width.

How to display names without file extension in Content Query Web Part in SharePoint 2010

I try to display names in Content Query Web Part but it shows file extension. I cannot find a way in CQWP editor that can exclude file extension. Is there a way to display names excluding file extensions thru settings in the CQWP editor?
I have to edit the code in SharePoint Designer, right?
Thanks in advance for any tips!

In the file ContentQueryMain you have already a function to get the file without extension.
So we just can use this:
<xsl:call-template name="OuterTemplate.GetFileNameWithoutExtension">
<xsl:with-param name="input" select="$DisplayTitle" />
</xsl:call-template>

How to display user-editable title in control template (search web part)

Hi all,
SharePoint 2013. I've created a custom control template for a search box. In the settings there is an option to display the chrome, which will display the Title above the web part as entered by the user in the settings for that web part.
However, I want to change where this title appears (without the chrome being visible) inside a specific div in my web part HTML - can I manually add a tag (similar to _#= Title =#_ for example) that will render the title for me? Or is there som
js code that will allow me to get that title?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to change the position of the title of the search box.
You can add the code below to Content Editor Web Part.
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$("h2[class='ms-webpart-titleText']").css("margin-left","90px");
</script>
If you want to hidden the Content Editor Web Part, you need to edit the web part to change the setting:
The result is as below:

How to change the Discussion board view to facebook posting type view

hi friends..
i want to change the discussion board view to facebook posting type.Where multiple discussions and comments on single page as well as all the comments should be in a threaded view and also i want to find a new discussion
link in same page.
can any one help me...

Hi,
As I understand, you would like to improve discussion board to display all posts on a single page with comments.
There is no OOB option to customize discussion board. However, there are workarounds:
You could create a site with Blog site template, and it could meet your requirement. More information about Blog site:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/sharepoint-foundation-help/create-a-blog-HA010378201.aspx
You could use Note Board web part instead, and customize it to allow reply:

You could customize Discussion Board directly using Content Query Web Part and XSL:

How to limit the number of items in a KPI Status list web part?

How to limit the number of items in a KPI Status list web part? There is no paging option for Business Category Status list or any limit can be made by changing the Item limit in default view unlike other SharePoint List web parts. So How to achieve it?
Kindly help.
Regards,
ZA
zzzSharePoint

Hi,
According your post, I know you would like to set the item display limit in Status List web part.
In the web part, the number of items to display is based on the view which you selected when configuring the web part. The default view for status list is status list view.
However, I am not able to limit the items’ display number of the status list view. After changing the items limit, the list item displayed would not match the number specified by Item Limit. Thus, it is not possible to limit the number
of items in the Status list web part.
It could be a potential issue in SharePoint 2010.
We will log this issue to our suggestion box. As after the submission, we may not have any time guarantee when the fix may be released, but it may come out on next cumulative update.
Appreciate your time and efforts.
Thanks.

XSLT List View Web Part Error when Using Group By

I have a Tasks List created a tasks list in SharePoint. The Tasks (normal OOTB template) list works fine in the normal view, however, I have created an XSLT ListView Web Part that points to this tasks list. When I set the web part to display
a view with a "Group By" rule, it returns an error:
"Attempted to use an object that has ceased to exist. (Exception from HRESULT:
0x80030102 (STG_E_REVERTED))
The list has just over 1000 items and the threshold is set to 5000, I have tried indexing the column that I am "grouping by" just in case and that has not worked.
Has anyone experienced this issue before? If so, what steps can be done to display the XSLT List View Web Part properly?

Thank you for the response. I tried the above link and it didn't seem to solve the issue; in fact, when I clicked on Common Control Tasks there wasn't any Data View Tasks such Filter and Sort & Group.
Perhaps some more information would shed light on a solution. I created a list template including content of the task list in question. I was able to display the new list in an XSLT List View Web part with grouping enabled. However, I noticed that
the "Related Content" column was completely empty (it was there, it just had no data in each row). What is the source of this Related Content? I know it is a system column that appears when Workflows generate the item in the list but could it be the
reason for the Web part being unable to display with groupings?

Wiki Pages - Open Web Part Page in maintenance view

I am trying add custom .aspx pages to a SharePoint 2010 Document Library. When I try to edit properties for those pages, the edit page shows "Open Web Part Page in maintenance view to delete problem Web Parts and remove personal settings.
Open Web Part Page in maintenance view." I click Open Web Part Page in maintenance view
The page displays
The are currently no Web Parts associated with any Web Part Zones on this page. Web Parts added to the page outside of a Web Part Zone will not appear in this list.
I don't do anything with the maintenance view because there are no Web Parts to delete.
As a test, I save the content of the custom.aspx page as a text file, custom.txt. The edit properties displays just fine.
Another test, I save the content as custom.htm. The edit properties displays just fine.
I try many variations of saving the content of custom.aspx with various html tags and even no tags at all. One version just has the text,"test" in the page. Save error:
Open Web Part Page in maintenance view to delete problem Web Parts and remove personal settings. Open Web Part Page in maintenance view."
Going down another path, I try to compare the source of this aspx page with other SharePoint aspx pages. One test is the Wiki Page. All Wiki pages display the same message on my farm. Is this a known issue with Wiki Pages?
<apparently I'm not allowed to add images yet>
As another point of comparison I opened the Edit Properties part within an Office 365 Wiki. Same message.
<apparently I'm not allowed to add images yet>

Hi Chris,
As your description, when you uploaded a .aspx page into a library and edited the properties, the message "Open Web Part Page in maintenance view to delete problem Web Parts and remove personal settings. Open Web Part Page in maintenance view"
showed.
I could reproduce this issue if I uploaded a .aspx page into a library and edited its properties.
Then I went to Site Pages library, and select a page and edit its property, the same message also showed like the screenshot:
It seems that the message will show when we edit the properties of a page no matter which library we upload it to, it seems to be by design.
In addition, if you want to upload a image into the thread, you can first upload the image into OneDrive, then copy and paste the URL of the image here.

How do I set the scope to recursive in the Data View Web Part in SP 2013?

How do I set the scope to recursive in the Data View Web Part in SP 2013?
I have items in folders that I would like to display in the data view web part out of their folders. I know that I need to set the scope to recursive. I found documentation on how to do it in 2010, but since they removed all views other than
the code view, I am unsure about how to do so.
Link to article describing how to do what I am trying to do in 2010:
https://www.nothingbutsharepoint.com/2009/05/13/data-view-web-part-folders-part-2-aspx/

Hi,
In SharePoint Designer 2013, we can click the code of the Data view web part. Then switch the tab to "OPTIONS". And then we can find the Folder Scope option, you can select "Show All Files of All Folders"
to achieve your requirement.
