Encrypting SharePoint list

I looked at transparent data encryption to encrypt the entire content database that I want to encrypt, but my version of SQL Server 2008 is Standard, not Enterprise or DC.
At this point, it looks like it would be best for me to upgrade the database server to 2012 and use TDE vs some of the other options I've seen for encrypting the data in SharePoint. I really only need to encrypt a few lists/libraries that store PII. The
documents get emailed around via workflow but I need them to be encrypted unless an authorized user is accessing them, for example.

My ultimate goal is to generate xml string like above format without building tree view.
I want to generate xml using web service and using xml i could convert into nested Tree View Accordian in html.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to custom action for context menu in "Site Content and Structure" in SharePoint 2010.
In "SiteManager.aspx", SharePoint use MenuItemTemplate class which represent a control that creates an item in a drop-down menu.
For example, to create or delete the ECB menu for a list item in
"Site Content and Structure", we can follow the steps below:
To add the “My Like” menu, we can add the code below:
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
UseShortId=false
id="OLListItemLike"
runat="server"
Text="My Like"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"
ClientOnClickNavigateUrl="https://www.google.com.hk/"
/>
To remove the “Delete” menu, we can comment the code below:
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
UseShortId=false
id="OLListItemDelete"
runat="server"
Text="<%$Resources:cms,SmtDelete%>"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"
ClientOnClickScript="%SmtObjectDeleteScript%"
/>
The result is as below:

Open a SharePoint List item in Modal Pop up in SP 2013 fails after you filter or sort the list

Sorry for the long post. This has been killing me. I had this script working perfectly fine in SharePoint 2010 (online) and basically i have a source custom list (list A) with a hyperlink column and a Destination List with say title and my name.
Source List (list A) looks like this with these 2 columns
Title Test Link
A Link 1
B Link 2
C Link 3
Each of these links link to the actual list item in the destination list, so for example, link 1 is/sites/2013DevSite/Lists/Destination%20List/EditForm.aspx?ID=1
So basically i want anytime the Link are clicked that point to another list's item to open in a modal dialog and the script below worked perfectly fine in SharePoint 2010 (online)
<script language="javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language ="javascript" type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('a[href*="EditForm.aspx"]').each(function (i, e) {
// Store the A tag's current href in a variable
var currentHref = jQuery(e).attr('href');
jQuery(e).attr({
'href': 'javascript:void(0);',
// Use the stored href as argument for the ShowInModal functions parameter.
'onclick': 'ShowInModal("' + currentHref + '");'
function ShowInModal(href) {
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog({title: "Edit Item", url: href});
</script>
All it does is find the href tags for that particular value Editform.aspx and the pop modal works in SP 2010 online. So the site page is designed in such a way there is a content editor web part with the reference to this javascript file and the sharepoint
list is right beneath it and this worked perfectly opening in modal windows in SP 2010.
Since migration to 2013, this is what exactly happens
1.) when you come to the site page, the modal works,
2.) If you filter or sort on say the Title or Test Link column in Source list (lets say you select the Value A), the script does not fire at all, if i hover over the hyperlink, the who hyperlink is shown and does not open the hyperlink in the modal pop up.
- This is important because i want to be able to sort on a particular item...
Could someone please let me know what am i doing wrong and why is this not working when i sort the list. Thanks for all the help.
Once again i am trying to open a sharepoint list item in Sharepoint 2013 from another list using Jquery

A ListItem has its own unique row id so in all likelihood, an insert with the same data will result in a new list entry. The Lists Web Service however, has an UpdateListItem method which will take an update request. [refer

How do I use Active Sync to view SharePoint Lists (Contacts and Calendars) on a Mobile Phone?

We are attempting to use SharePoint 2010 in combination with Exchange 2010 to implement shared calendars and contact lists throughout our organization. We are able to connect the lists to Outlook 2010, but have been unsuccessful in viewing
the calendars and contact lists from our mobile phones. How do we use Active Sync to view SharePoint Lists (Contacts and Calendars) on a Mobile Phone?
In trying to answer this question, we have come across a few different possibilities, all of them falling just short of a long term solution for us. After doing research, we found that Active Sync will only show the default folders of the account. To
solve this, we downloaded an Add-In for Outlook (CodeTwo FolderSync) to synchronize folders and synchronized our SharePoint list with a new Contact list in the default folder. The issue we came across with this method is that the Add-In we are using
is not capable of automatic synchronization. There is a button and it must be clicked after every update is made, which is not ideal for our solution. We then went to the company (CodeTwo) and found server side software (Exchange Sync) that they
offer which will automatically synchronize the folders. After installing that on the Exchange Server, we now are running into the issue of not being able to locate the SharePoint lists on the Exchange Server.
Does anyone happen to know how we can get to the SharePoint lists from the Exchange Server? Has anyone else been able to use shared contacts lists and calendars from SharePoint on their mobile phones using Active Sync? If so, are we in the right
direction with what we have found so far?
Thanks,
Brad

You cannot use ActiveSync for that, but there are SharePoint clients for the iPhone. Windows Mobile 7 natively supports SharePoint with SharePoint Workspace Mobile, part of Microsoft Office Mobile. Android and BlackBerry might also have some apps.

How do I import csv file into a SharePoint list?

I am trying to use a PowerShell script to load data into a SharePoint list from a csv file. When I run my code, it seems to go through the process of loading the data into the list. However when I go to my list, all I see is "System.Object[]" displayed
in the first column of all my rows with no other data displayed. When I check my csv file, I see a ton of data (several rows and columns) but that is not being moved to my SharePoint list. This is what my script looks like
if((Get-PSSnapin | Where {$_.Name -eq “Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell”}) -eq $null) {
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
$web = Get-SPWeb http://link to web
$list = $web.lists["List Name"]
$recordsNumber = 0
foreach($i in Import-CSV myCSVFile.csv)
$new = $list.Items.Add()
$new["Title"] = $i.Title,
$new["FirstName"] = $i.FirstName,
$new["LastName"] = $i.LastName
$new.Update()
$recordsNumber++
"Added " + $recordsNumber.ToString() + " records."
"Done. Press any key to continue..."
$null = $Host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey("NoEcho,IncludeKeyDown")
Any ideas on how to fix this, and get my list populated with data?

if ( (Get-PSSnapin -Name Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null )
Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
$host.Runspace.ThreadOptions = "ReuseThread"
#Open SharePoint List
$SPServer=http://SOMESERVER
$SPAppList="/Lists/List Name/"
$spWeb = Get-SPWeb $SPServer
$spData = $spWeb.GetList($SPAppList)
$InvFile="myCSVFile.csv"
# Get Data from Inventory CSV File
$FileExists = (Test-Path $InvFile -PathType Leaf)
if ($FileExists) {
"Loading $InvFile for processing..."
$tblData = Import-CSV $InvFile
} else {
"$InvFile not found - stopping import!"
exit
# Loop through Applications add each one to SharePoint
"Uploading data to SharePoint...."
foreach ($row in $tblData)
"Adding entry for "+$row."Application Name".ToString()
$spItem = $spData.AddItem()

Query SharePoint List View

As per http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms434064.aspx if we use
list.GetItems(query, view.ID.ToString("B").ToUpper());
properties of the view that is specified by the viewName parameter override the properties that are specified in the query object that is passed through the query parameter. For example, if the query
object includes a tag that specifies only items containing a particular column value, while the view specifies to return all items, this method retrieves all of the items
So is there any way to query a sharepoint list view (not All Items) using CAML query?
I this retrieving view in a data table and query it later, which is an option but might give a performance degradation.
Regards, Aj (http://www.aj-sharepoint.blogspot.com/) MCTS

Hello,
Did you try with SPView.Query method? If not then this can be query to specific view.

SharePoint FBA with Sharepoint list

We have been searching for a good tutorial in setting up SharePoint FBA using a SharePoint list as the authentication source but there is very little out there. CodePlex has a project called SPListMP but we were not successful in getting it to run properly. The project is still in Alpha stages.
Can anyone point me towards ource to configure SharePoint FBA to use a SharePoint list. Also, are there any cons out there that anyone can provide as why there configuration should be avoided.
Thanks.

Is that sharepoint list present in some other web application which is windows based authentication?

I have used and loved the interaction between Excel and SharePoint for many generations of both solutions. It's a wonderful opportunity to integrate the familiarity and simplicity of Excel (formatting, ease of use, availability) with the data storage
and centralized list capabilities of SharePoint. Right?
When upgrading to Excel 2010, I have noticed with much dismay that much of the inherent easy to use features of previous versions were effectively stripped from this newest version. Much research, time and energy has been spent working around and resolving
the deficiency. One Microsoft based article,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930006, has provided the mechanics behind utilizing the "hidden" functionality... although, this capability to use VBA to create the synchronized list was available in previous versions. However, once Microsoft
published this article to this "hidden" functionality... I feel that the behavior should be supported by Microsoft in some way. OK?
Revised instructions to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a SharePoint list with 20 dummy records.
- Note the List Name ##LIST_NAME##
- Note the View GUID ##VIEW_GUID##
- Note SharePoint Base URL ##BASE_URL##
2. REVISED... In Excel 2010, save the file as Compatible "Excel 97-2003 Workbook". Close the file and reopen.  Create a connected table (ListObject) in Excel using the article above to the SharePoint list. Use Sample VBA code
below:
Sub LinkedSharePointList()
ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add SourceType:=xlSrcExternal,_
    Source:=Array(##BASE_URL## & "/_vti_bin", ##LIST_NAME##, _
    ##VIEW_GUID##), LinkSource:=True, Destination:=Range("A1")
End Sub
3. OOPS REVISED this item. The problem is actually with ROW 21... So, update record on row 21... (no matter where the table is located... (if the "Destination" is "A1", then the problem is with ID=20, but if the Table is
shifted down to say A12, then ID=9 on row 21). Anyway... make a simple change to that record... and you'll see the ID immediately change.... as if it's a NEW record. WEIRD! Note: If the sheet is protected, then an error is displayed
indicating that a "read-only" record cannot be updated (referring to the ID cell in column A for the current row).
4. Now "synchronize" the list with excel. The former record is still in the list unchanged AND there is a NEW record in the list holding the changes. There are a number of problems that seem to ONLY occur when something changes to ROW
21.... Next, try to copy/paste multiple records across multiple rows that intersect with ROW 21. Yikes!!
I look forward to hearing others' experience!
Thanks!

Here are some things that you can try (change the code, where appropriate):
Private Sub CreateList()
    Dim folder As folder
    Dim f As File
    Dim fs As New FileSystemObject
    Dim RowCtr As Integer
    RowCtr = 1
    Set folder = fs.GetFolder("http://excel-pc:43231/Shared Documents/Forms/") '<=Variable Location
    For Each f In folder.Files
       Cells(RowCtr, 1).Value = f.Name
       RowCtr = RowCtr + 1
    Next f
End Sub
Sub ListAllFile()
Dim objFSO As Object
Dim objFolder As Object
Dim objFile As Object
Dim pth As String
Dim WBn As Workbook
Dim ObCount As Long

pth = "http://excel-pc:43231/Shared Documents/Forms/"

Excel Services with SharePoint List Data in SharePoint 2013 - Chart is not refreshing automatically

Hi Everyone,
This is My req: I m going to display pie chart and Bar chart in share point 2013.
Steps I have follwed:
1. Export the list to excel.
2.Using the Power Pivot table I have done the chart.
3. Uploaded into document Library.
4. Added into the web part.
Chart are displaying. But When ever user added the data into the list chart is refreshing.
Is there any option to refresh the data in chart? Waiting for valuable replies.
Regards, Manoj Prabakar

SharePoint lists as data sources in Excel Services is not supported.That's the reason refreshing is not working. There are some work around you can use -
Export as Data Feed - Export your SharePoint list as Data Feed , use this data feed to a PowerPivot for Excel workbook and publish this PowerPivot using Excel Services.
User-defined functions - write UDF in C# and extend the Excel Services functionality to work with SharePoint lists.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/bb267252(office.12).aspx#Office2007ExcelServicesUnlimited_SharePointLists
Web Services API -
The Web Services API can be used to push data from a database and then refresh the data in a SharePoint Server list by using Excel Services.
JavaScript Object Model - The JavaScript Object Model for Excel Services in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 provides many solutions for Excel Services.

PowerPivot report data refresh error Data source as SharePoint list Data Feed

Hi All,
I am facing a problem on auto refresh, the report data source is SharePoint list Data Feed, I saved it my PC desktop when I set up auto fresh it fails then I moved the SharePoint list data feed "atomsvc" file to A SharePoint Data feed library then connected
to report started a manual refresh it was success, after next schedules it failed.
Error massage:
Errors in the high-level relational engine. The following exception occurred while the managed IDbConnection interface was being used:
The network path was not found. ;The network path was not found. The network path was not found. .
A connection could not be made to the data source with the DataSourceID of '82f49f39-45aa-4d61-a15c-90ebbc5656d',
Name of 'DataFeed testingreport'. An error occurred while processing the 'Testing Report' table. The operation has been cancelled.
Thank you very much !

If you are using Claims Auth then this is a known limitation. Auto refresh only works under Classic Auth.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

Excel Spreadsheet as Data Source & Copying that Data to an Existing SharePoint List

Hello,
I have an Excel spreadsheet that I get daily and cut and paste into an existing SharePoint list. Is there a way to make that Excel spreadsheet a data source and copy the data to an existing SharePoint list with less manual involvement?
Tools at my disposal include: SharePoint 2010 Designer, InfoPath, and Access.
I thought there might be a REST method I could use via InfoPath but I'm not aware of any offhand.
Goal is to have a method to upload/overwrite an Excel file (stored in a SharePoint library), every day, and then automate the process of copy it to a SharePoint list (actually overwriting the old data in the SharePoint list).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
We can create a console application and use C# code to read the data from the Excel file and using SharePoint .Net Client Object Model to add the data into a SharePoint list, then create a windows job to execute the console application.

Upload Excel data to Sharepoint list VIA infopath form

Hi,
I'll try to explain the process of what I want to do first.
1. In Excel
I have an exceldocument (XLS, XLSX or XLSM) with 4 named columns and a named worksheet saved locally on my computer.
I want to upload this data into preferably a custom list in sharepoint but it needs to run via a infopath template first.
2. In Infopath
The Infopath template will prompt the user to specify values in 2 additional fields.
After giving input to these fields user may browse for the locally stored excel document and upload the document.
In the same infopath template a dynamic array should be visible containing 6 columns (4 from excel + 2 from headerlevel of template) and the amount of rows based on the number of rows from excelsheet.
At the end of template a submit button is found for uploading the entire array into sharepoint custom list.
Is this possible to do at all?
NOTE! End user should not have to save the excelsheet as XML file nor do a XML mapping.
Infopath should, perhaps with help of VBA read excelsheet and transfer data to correct destination in sharepoint on it self.
Looking forward to your reply

Hi Jonas,
You can attach your Excel doucment into InfoPath form and send InfoPath form to a custom web service. Then you can parse the Excel data and combine the Excel data and additional fields into SharePoint list in the customized web service.
For more information, you can have a look at the thread:
