• Importing to Discussion Board Post from legacy source

  Hi All,
  Im sure im not the first to wonder or ask this question but here it goes.
  We have recently moved out intranet to SharePoint 2013. We have rebuilt from the ground up using many of the out of box solutions as well as some third party apps and web parts however these is one aspect that is stumping us.
  On our old intranet we use a SQL based forum/discussion board package which has
  about ten years worth of posts, surveys, Q&As etc. As it is SQL based it is very easy for use to query and pull this legacy data however
  we cannot find a way to import into SharePoint. We do not expect to import it all but would like to import at leas the last 12 months of submitted
  data with at least basic fields like Title, description/content, tags, post date and post user. We do not mind other metadata being striped out like voting etc.
  We have dug deep into the SharePoint database files to see if we can directly insert but
  it is very complex and almost certainly not supported. We was also hoping for a discussion board data list view so we could bulk cut and paste. This is not ideal but would at least be a better option than manually inserting each post.
  Does anybody have an idea where to start if at all possible.

  This is a server problem. In other words, "don't adjust your dial!"
  spinning balls,
  All this means is that the rendering is slowed down by something in the design of the website. If it is a thread with over 500 posts, you probably will have difficulty viewing it, unless you have a high speed internet connection with low latency, enough hard disk space to cache the files, and/or view threads in tree mode. To use Tree mode, go to My Settings, and select Tree View under Topic Page View in the General SEttings.
  Bad Request
  Sometimes will happen if your internet service provider is behind a backbone with significant peering issues.
  So how big is your hard drive?
  How much free disk space is there?
  Have you tried to empty the browser cache?
  Does this issue happen with short threads as well as long ones?
  Do you have any system modification software such as Speed Download, PthHelmet, or other browser enhancement software?
  Are you sure all your software is known to be Snow Leopard compatible?
  See these two pages about compatibility:

• Is this Apple discussion board available or is it internal software?

  Quick Question
  Is this board system available elsewhere or is it a private Apple development?
  Thanks

  I like how the subscription feature in these discussion boards e-mail the text of new messages, some other forum/discussion boards just e-mail you a link to the new post, so you have to click on that to visit the new post in your web browser.

• Links to discussion in a discussion board does not work from a Custom View

  Hi,
  I need to limit the number of Items shown in a discussion board the the 3 latest discussions.
  The solution to do this is to created a new few where I set the item limit.
  .. or so I thought.
  The view shows only the 3 newest items however the link to the discussions are not working. If I change the view back to the normal "Subject/AllItems.aspx" view it works fine. 
  Anyone has a solution for this? hovering over the title link with the mouse I can verify that the links are different.
  With the standard subject view where it works:
  Home.aspx?RootFolder=%2Fsites%2Ftestsite%2FLists%2Ftest%20discussion%20board%2Ftest%203%202820&FolderCTID=0x012002000DF957D933C11F498845E0406B80727A&View=%7BF54786F4%2D10EB%2D4DB1%2DA686%2D7743DD17635A%7D
  With my custom view where nothing happens when I click the link:
  Home.aspx?RootFolder=&FolderCTID=&View=%7BF54786F4%2D10EB%2D4DB1%2DA686%2D7743DD17635A%7D

• Set field value in Discussion Board Reply

  Hi all,
  I need to set the value of a field in all discussion board replies within a discussion. In my example, I need to pass a value from the discussion board item to all of the replies (ex. when a reply is made, I want a field named "Project Number" to be populated
  by the Project Number set when a Discussion is created). I need this so I can email out varying users related to the Project Number.
  Thanks,
  Kelly

  Hi
  SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
  query.Folder = discussItem.Folder;
  SPListItemCollection replyCollection = ctxList.GetItems(query);
  foreach (SPListItem itemReply in itemCollection)
  itemReply["FIELD_TO_UPDATE"] = VALUE;
  itemReply.SystemUpdate(false);
  discussionItem: is a discussion item
  ctxList: is a current discussion list
  If there are many reply items need to be update, please build an update string and use BatchUpdateProcess command to perform update with best performance.
  Hope this help.

• Adding Attchement button inside create new discssion in SharePoint 2013 Discussion Board not from the Ribbon

  all that i want to customize create a new discussion layout by adding new attach new document but not by using Ribbon

  Hi,
  For your issue, you can customize the layout for the discussion board new form with content editor web part.
  For more information, you can refer to the blog:
  http://www.markrackley.net/2013/08/29/easy-custom-layouts-for-default-sharepoint-forms/
  http://www.shillier.com/archive/2013/03/26/uploading-files-in-sharepoint-2013-using-csom-and-rest.aspx
  Actually in my opinion, the new file upload behavior in SharePoint 2013 is great. As we can click in the body and upload files via the ribbon INSERT tab.The
  new 2013 discussion board allow attachments to be stored in any document libraries besides the default Site Asset library.

• SharePoint 2013 Discussion Board lists wrong name in Reply

  Using a basic SharePoint 2013 Discussion Board with Content Approval enabled.  Because of Content Approval, all posts/replies must be approved before they are visible.  The problem is that SharePoint references the "Modified By" column
  in the Flat.aspx view when viewing a discussion thread.
  For example, let's assume we have three employees:
  Jaclyn - User who replied to main discussion thread
  Ryan - User who replied to Jaclyn's reply
  Brian - Admin w/ Approver rights to moderate comments
  In the screenshot below, Ryan clicked "Reply" on Jaclyn's comment. Once Brian approved it, SharePoint displays the note "In response to Brian's post" instead of "In response to Jaclyn's post". It seems to be referencing the
  Modified By column which updates to Brian's name once he approves it. 
  Is it possible to have SharePoint reference the correct name?  This is causing confusion in our organization since Brian is not involved in the discussion topic at all.  Thank you.

  Hi ,
  I could produce this issue based on your description.
  And I also created another Discussion Board without Content Approval, and created a new discussion, then:
  UserA replied to the main discussion thread.
  Admin replied to UserA’s reply.
  In Admin’s reply, it displayed “In response to UserA's post”.
  Administrator edited the UserA’s reply.
  UserB replied to UserA’s reply after Administrator edited.
  In UserB’s reply, it displayed “In response to Administrator's post”.
  By design, the ReplyToLink references the Modified By column of the reply when a user replys a existing reply.
  When we enable Content Approval and the approver approves the reply, by default, the approver has changed the item, and the Modified By is changed to the approver. So, for your issue, it is normal.
  Best Regards,
  Wendy

• 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:

• Custom View of Discussion Board

  I have a OOTB discussion board to which I have added some custom properties (Group and Category).
  I want to create a custom view of the discussion board that only shows conversations with a specific Group value. This works fine; however, when I click the title of the conversation, nothing is displayed (There are no items to show in this view...).
  Do I need two separate views for this? It seems like I need a top-level Subject view and then a secondary Threaded view to show the conversation maybe? I wasn't able to find instructions for doing this anywhere.
  Thanks!

  Hi  Chad,
  According to your description, my understanding  is that the discussion board Subject field URL link is not working in the custom  view.
  By design,  SharePoint  Discussion Board Subject field is linking to Flat.aspx which can display the conversation with replies. But for a custom view , the subject field cannot and will link to
  display form for the conversation item.  For a solution, the fileRef will take you to the current forum post:
  <a href="{@FileRef}">
  <xsl:value-of select="@Title"/>
  </a>

• Unable to set up incoming email settings in Discussion Board

  I was not able to set up the incoming email settings in my test discussion board list.
  even though my Exchange Server team has done the setup the Exchange related things in my SP 2013 server, I was not able to see any emails flowing into discussion board.
  Due to soem reason, Emails  not sending to discussion boards.
  Am i missing any steps?
  I have attched the below screen shot, which shows what i have done in the list settings:
  Is anyone has faced this issue before?

  Hi  ,
  According to your description, my understanding is that the discussion board cannot receive emails after you set up the incoming email settings in the discussion board list.
  Could you find the email in the  drop folder?
  If not , please make sure you have configured the incoming email settings correctly:

  If you can, what is the x-sender’s address   in the email which is captured into the drop folder ?

• Php / mysql discussion board recommendations

  Most of the discussion boards I've seen on the internet are
  1. way more than I need function wise 2. severely bloated 3.
  difficult to integrate into existing design and database. Like most
  things, I find it easier 99% of the time to develop my own apps
  then try and mod / fix open source. However, if anyone has some
  recommendations I'm willing to give them a try. I just want a very
  simple discussion board that I can plug write into my existing css
  layout.

  > Most of the discussion boards I've seen on the internet

  You've obviously got very specific requirements and have done
  prior
  research.
  I guess it would help if you indicate the names of solutions
  you've already
  checked out and have decided are not suitable e.g. phpBB?
  Might just be me but I find it tough understanding what other
  people mean by
  value judgements such as way more than I need, severely
  bloated etc.
  Is this the site for which you need a simple forum?

• Getting an error message when they try to log into the Discussion Board

  I know this is not MacBook related, or maybe it is, since I have a MacBook. Anyway, this is the Discussion board I visit the most, so I thought I would post here.
  When I try to log in to the Discussion Board, I fill in my User Name and Password and press the Log In button and then the next screen comes up with an error message. I have successfully logged in, but I am not taken back to the Discussion Board I left. This is the message:
  "Error
  An error has occurred. We apologize for the inconvenience.
  Useful links:
  * Forum Home -- browse the forums here.
  * Search Forums -- visit the search page to query all forum content."
  Is anyone else seeing this? If so, how do I correct it? This is happening on Safari 3 and also with Camino. Thanks.
  Thom

  Hi all,
  just as a hint:
  There is a whole Forum for things related to the Discussion Board.
  See here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1076
  As for the error you get, I get it also.
  According to the a.m. Forum, Apple knows about this error and is trying to fix it.
  Have Fun

• Why can't I post a new topic in the Safari discussion board?

  When I go to the Safari discussion board, there is no Post New Topic button.
  Why?

  Hi Scot!
  You are probably on the Safari Category page.
  From there, you need to click the Safari Forum page.
  On Forums there is an option to Post New Topic.
  EDIT: Yep!
