Dundas Gauge for SharePoint web part

Hi,
I'm using the Dundas Gauge for SharePoint web part, it seems that I have to add a seperate web part for each and every guage that I want added to the page, this means that inside each web part I have to add the connection string details for the sql database to get the data for the guage.
If I have 20 guages on a sharepoint page, this means 20 connection strings, 20 hits on the db - it's not sounding good.
Has anyone had any experience of this or has any thoughts on the best way to integrate this?
Best Regards
Kieran

As long as the connection strings are the same connection pooling will probably be used (they could disable it if they wanted to but not very likely).
It could still be 20 seperate hits to the database though. If each gauge is looking at a seperate dataset then absolutely it would require a trip to make the query.
You should investigate if the controls support caching directly (very likely) and create a good caching strategy if you need 20 seperate query results on one page.

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.

JScript error in Window script block for SharePoint web part

I am getting a runtime JScript error while trying to execute my web part. I assume that this error may be occuring because I am trying to assign a Javascript function to a SPMenuField.NavigateUrlFormat property.
I have tried modifying the AllowedProtocols value in one the array variables for the SPUrlUtility.AllowedProtocols using the instructions at
http://tipssharepoint.blogspot.in/2010/06/using-javascript-in-navigateurlformat.html. Even that didnt work.
Could someone please help me on this?
Thanks Sandy

Hi ChaitanyaSandeep,
The list of allowed protocols in AllowProtocols property doesn’t contain javascript, the following article shows an example to replace one of the values of the AllowedProtocols array before rendering the control, you can consider checking
whether this works:

Views for list web parts. Is there a way to allow users to change the view for a list web part without being redirected?

Hi,
I added a list view web part into a SharePoint 2013 page and it is working as expected, except for one thing.
I have enabled the option for the user to change the view for the web part. However when the user changes it, the user is redirected away from the page containing the web part, to the URL of the list itself.
Is there a way to circumvent this issue so when the user selects a different view it updates the listing in the web part itself, rather than the user being redirected?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards,
P.

Hi,
Please understand that one page can only display one view. You could find it out by observing the Address in browser when switching among different views for a list.
If you would like to change the view of a list web part, you could go to web part propertites > Select view and configure it.
In addition, here is a thread with similar requirement that might help:

Errors while editing the xsl for dataview web part

while modifying a dataview webpart in sharepoint designer, i finding the issues for the below line
<xsl:for-each select="$Rows[substring-before(substring-after(substring-after(@FullName, '?ID='), '>'), '<') = $FullName]">
errors:
the tag is marked invalid because it is missing quote for '>' and '<'

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you edited the xsl for dataview web part.
Please try to change
<xsl:for-each select="$Rows[substring-before(substring-after(substring-after(@FullName, '?ID='), '>'), '<') = $FullName]">
To
<xsl:for-each select="$Rows[substring-before(substring-after(substring-after(@FullName, '?ID='), '>'), '<') = $FullName]">

The XIr3 SharePoint Web Part for Webi is throwing errors to SharePoint.

Hi Admin's, Have any of you seen this error... We've built an XIr3 environment to expose Webi via the PIK webpart to SharePoint as a reporting portal. The backend is Sql linked servers via an OLEDB provider from a vendor named OSI (PI historian). The environment rocks, and the BO/SAP software is doing exactly what we want it to, one admin issue though. BOXI is spamming our SharePoint admin with two pesky messages "Error: Failure in loading assembly: BusinessObjects.SharePoint.Utilities, Version=10.0.3300.0" and the same prefix with version 11.0.3300.0. Have any other admins experienced this? The configuration is working fine in production, our dev burn throws these two, and it is essentially preventing us from upgrading our DotNet framework from 2.0 to 3.5 which is the only component in flux. The SP version is 12.0.633.5000. I just need to stop spamming my SharePoint friends and let them do their upgrade!

The search center is just a collection of pages that has the appropriate search web parts. YOu can change the Search Settings at the site or the site collection to change the results page used. If you add a results page with the appropriate
web parts to the site you can send the results anywhere. But building a search center is the easiest way to do that.

Sharepoint web part Page Load issue

Hi ,
We are developing Sharepoint 2013 Integration application, We are fetching the data from third party application and dumping data into sharepoint List for offline analysis.
Synchronization steps
1) fetch data from third party application
2) delete the old data
3) Insert the new data in List
4) Show the data in custom web part
synchronization is taking lot of time, is there any profiling tools , we can measure the performance of method , network traffic which is causing the issue.
We need to load the page less than second
Regards
Pat

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to improve the performance of your web part page.
A suggestion is that you can create a custom Timer job in the server side which handles the data fetching and updating in a list in the backend periodically, the burden
on the custom web part would get decreased.

SharePoint - Web Part - SQL Server Reporting Services Report Viewer Error.

Hi,
I was just having a bit of a fiddle with the differen't web-parts available to add on our local SharePoint site, and as one of my tasks is to have a report automatically open when the page is opened i thought i would try to add the web-part 'SQL Server Reporting
Services Report Viewer' just to see the outcome.
Now, I don't much care about viewing the report at this time, but imediately after trying to add the web part i am being displayed with an error and no matter how much i navigate away from the page or close the browser the particular link to the page i was
trying to insert the web-part into now displays an error.
The error simply says 'An unexpsected error has occured' with various 'Correlation ID:' each time.
Now i have a link to other parts or subsites of that SharePoint site and they work just fine, it's just when i try to click on the page where i wanted to put the web-part in it
still comes up with an error. This page just so happens to be the home page so it really does need to be fixed.
Please help!?
Many Thanks,
Plain_Clueless

Hi again,
Sorry for the bother, We have now fixed the issue for the time being.. all that was needed was a simple '?contents=1' at the end of the url which takes you to a menu where you can delete the
necessary web-part that was causing the trouble.
As for actually implementing the report onto SharePoint.. in future i will make Dev pages instead.. and it seems i may need to contact the admin side of building so they configure 'SQL Reporting
Services Report Viewer' properly.
Thanks a lot though!

Is it possible for a Web Part to interact with a list the user does not have permissions for?

Say I have a custom web part that queries a list or adds list items, etc. Does the user have to have the equivalent permissions on the list itself to use the web part? Would the SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges Method be a way to get around this? Or is
there a better way?
Basically I want certain users to have a more controlled access to a list. But if I try to access the page with the web part on an account without permissions for the list, I get an Access Denied response.

One way of elevating code is, as you already mentioned, using SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges which will run SPSecurity.CodeToRunElevated with Full Control rights. From MSDN documentation of the method for SP 2013 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spsecurity.runwithelevatedprivileges.aspx)
you can see that this code runs under Application Pool identity:
Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSecurity.CodeToRunElevated
A delegate method that is to run with elevated rights. This method runs under the Application Pool identity, which has site collection administrator privileges on all site collections hosted by that application pool.
Another method, a bit more security fine-grained, can be used. The idea is to instantiate new SPSite object using overloaded constructor which takes Microsoft.SharePoint.SPUserToken as a parameter: http://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/ms469253(v=office.15).aspx.
Example can be seen here: http://www.sharepointdeveloperhq.com/2009/04/how-to-programmatically-impersonate-users-in-sharepoint/. Using this approach, you can run your code in the context of the user who doesn't necessarily have to be site collection admin.
This user can have only access to the list in question.

Deleting Old Versions SharePoint Web Parts

I have inherited an Enterprise Content Management tool with Custom web parts that allow users to upload document using Document Set and Document ID in SharePoint 2010. The code has some custom EventReceivers that do ItemAdded, check for user permissions
and add, delete items. My issue is Versions are created automatically for the user and the system account also creates Versions, making the Content Database grow quickly. I need to add C# methods in the code to retain only the current version for the user,
to stop the content database from growing quickly. We are currently running PowerShell scripts to purge the Content database weekly. I want to stop running the script and do that in the Event Receiver code. Can any one help me with suggestions and some
code samples?
Ebenezer

Is there a way, you can change the library settings to remove versioning. That will just keep 1 version.
Also, in your event reciever and web part code, you can use the SystemUpdate method instead of update so that a newer version is not created.
Reference:
SystemUpdate
Hope this helps.

Adding Custom Filter Options for Newsfeed Web Part

Hi,
In OOB feature the newsfeed web part shows filter options for Following, Everyone, Mentions, Activities and Likes. Is it possible to add custome filter options to this web part?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It seems that there is no OOTB options which allow to add more filters in the newsfeed web part.
But we have many methods to retrieve the social feeds and you can filter them in the way you like. To know more about how to get feeds, the following link should be a good start.

SharePoint Web Part: "Unable to Execute Service Method getLocaleStrings
