How to avoid postback while filter document library using metadata navigation filters?

Hi All,
Please help me with this scenario. I have a document library with metadata columns and normal columns and have enabled metadata navigation settings and key filters.
It filters fine. But only problem every time i click the whole page will refresh. is there any way we can avoid page refresh while filtering.
Or
Any alternative solutions also much appreciated.
Thanks for your help in advance.

You're not going to be able to avoid that post back. The pages haven't been designed to allow AJAX behaviour and trying to re-build them would be a monster for MS let alone for you.

How to add a record in document library without upload file.

Hi,
how to add a record in document library without upload file?
Is it possible? I want to create a folders in Document Library but inside folders i do not want to upload a file instead of just i want to create a record. I will map my local file path to the records.
Can anyone help me on it?
Thanks & Regards
Poomani Sankaran

Hello Sankaran,
document library is to upload documents, without document you will not be able to add a record or Item to it.
for your requirement you can use a list and enable folders within the list and maintain the local path of the file as an item in list.

How top Open a Excel Document from share point document library using jquery

How top Open a Excel Document from share point document library using jquery

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to open excel file via JQuery.
To open excel file, we can use the following code.
<script type="text/javascript">
function openExcel(strFilePath) {
var yourSite = "http://www.yoursite.com";
openExcelDocPath(yourSite + strFilePath, false);
function openExcelDocPath(strLocation, boolReadOnly) {
var objExcel;
objExcel = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
objExcel.Visible = true;
objExcel.Workbooks.Open(strLocation, false, boolReadOnly);
</script>

Get/retreive managed metadata column value from Document Library using SharePoint 2013 JSOM

Hi,
I am trying to retrieve managed metadata column (NewsCategory) value in SharePoint 2013 Document library using JSOM.
I get "Object Object" rather than actual value.
I tried:-
var newsCat = item.get_item('NewsCategory');
alert(newsCat) //Displays [Object Object]
var newsCatLabel = newsCat.get_label();
var newsCatId = newsCat.get_termGuid();
But, I get the error "Object doesn't support property or method get_label()"
I also tried :-
var newsTags = item.get_item(' NewsCategory ');
for (var i = 0; i < newsTags.get_count() ; i++) {
var newsTag = newsTags.getItemAtIndex(i);
var newsTagLabel = newsTag.get_label();
var newsTagId = newsTag.get_termGuid();
Even now I get the error "Object doesn't support property or method get_count()"
I have included " NewsCategory " in the load request:- context.load(items, 'Include(File, NewsCategory)');
Any idea what the issue is? Do I have to add any *.js file using $.getScript?
I added following .js files
var scriptbase = _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl + "/_layouts/15/";
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Runtime.js", function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.js", function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Core.js", function () {
Thanks in Advance,

Hi Patrick,
I already added those references. I just pasted the parts of script snippet in my initial post. To avoid confusion I am pasting here complete script.
2.1.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var scriptbase = _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl + "/_layouts/15/";

var list = web.get_lists().getByTitle('Documents');
var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
var filterCategory = 'Solutions';
var IDfromTaxonomyHiddenList = 15;
camlQuery.set_viewXml('<View><Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef LookupId="TRUE" Name="'+filterCategory+'" /><Value Type="ID">' + IDfromTaxonomyHiddenList +'</Value></Eq></Where></Query></View>');
/*the above CAML query successfully gets all the list items matching the criteria including "NewsCategory" managed metadata column values
But when I try to display the value it retrieved it ouputs/emits Object Object rather than actual values */
var items = list.getItems(camlQuery);
context.load(items, 'Include(File,NewsCategory)');
context.executeQueryAsync(
Function.createDelegate(this, function (sender, args) {
if (items.get_count() > 0) {
var listItemEnumerator = items.getEnumerator();
while (listItemEnumerator.moveNext()) {
var oListItem = listItemEnumerator.get_current();
var file = oListItem.get_file();
var name = file.get_name();
var newsCat = oListItem.get_item('NewsCategory'); alert(newsTags.constructor.getName());
alert(newsCat) //Displays [Object Object]
var newsCatLabel = newsCat.get_label(); // Here it errors out with message "Object doesn't support property or method get_label()"
var newsCatId = newsCat.get_termGuid();
} //end while
}//end if
Function.createDelegate(this, function (sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getdata, "SP.Core.js");
</script>
In the above script "var name = file.get_name(); " gets the exact file name.
But the line "var newsCat = item.get_item('NewsCategory');
alert(newsCat) //Displays [Object Object] rather than actual value.
Issue resolved replace "oListItem.get_item('NewsCategory');" with oListItem.get_item('NewsCategory').get_label();"
Thanks

Unable to edit .vsdx visio file that is inside a document library using visio 2010 sp2

I have Visio 2010 SP2 installed locally inside my machine. The current version can open vsdx files by doing some conversions. I got the following scenario inside my SharePoint server 2013:-
Currently I have Visio file (with .vsdx extension) uploaded to my SharePoint 2013 document library.
If I click on the Visio file I got the following dialog.
I select “Edit”, click on ok.
Then the visio 2010 application will convert the current file and open it locally inside my machine.
But the opened file will have it name as “Copy (1) of ….”, as follow:-
So if I do some changes to the Visio file and I click on save I will not be able to save my changes back to the SharePoint server’s document library. Now if I do the same steps for a .vsd file not .vsdx then I can directly open the Visio file (without any
conversion process) and I will be able to save my changes back to SharePoint server.
So can anyone advice how to be able to edit .vsdx files which are uploaded to SharePoint document library using visio 2010 SP2 ?
Thanks

Thank you for your ideas.
After that last posting, but before your response, I asked them to add the local farm to their trusted sites zone. Several blogs I had encountered while searching had listed that as something they had tried.
As soon as they added the site to their trusted site zone, the problems went away.
It was definitely not all users - I only had 2 people directly contact me about the issue.
I never got a chance to ask them about other SharePoint sites - they were working on the sites where they spent most of their time - I don't know if they had other sites.
The old location and the new location of these 2 sites are in the same site collection - it was moving them from
http://myfarm/sites/div/dept67/site1
to
http://myfarm/sites/div/dept64/site1
basically (with the actual names changed to protect my job).
The site collection is /sites/div . So the site collection features are the same.
I suppose that the site features could have changed between the export and the import - but since things are working now and I didn't change any features, I don't think that it is.
At this point, things appear to be working. However strange that seems to me.

Download older version of a file from SharePoint Document Library using CSOM and 404 error

Hi,
I am trying to download previous versions including Major and Minor versions of documents from SharePoint Online using CSOM. I get 404 error when I try to download the file. I found several posts on various discussion forums where people are getting same
error but none of those have any solution/answer. Below is one of the threads and sample code I have tried that results in 404 error. If I use the link in browser directly, I am able to download the file. Also I am able to download the current version of file
using CSOM without any problem, it is only the older versions that give me 404 in CSOM.

Hi,
According to your description,
I know you want to get older version of a file from SharePoint Document Library using Client Object Model.
The following code snippet for your reference:
public void GetVersions()
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(“http://SPSite”);
Web site = clientContext.Web;
clientContext.Load(site);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
File file = site.GetFileByServerRelativeUrl(“/Shared Documents/mydocument.doc”);
clientContext.Load(file);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
ListItem currentItem = file.ListItemAllFields;
clientContext.Load(currentItem);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
FileVersionCollection versions = file.Versions;
clientContext.Load(versions);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
if (versions != null)
foreach(FileVersion _version in versions)
Console.WriteLine(“Version : {0}”,_version.VersionLabel);

C#/REST Getting files in a document library using Internal Name

Hi Folks,
I need to get a list of files in a SP2010 and SP2013 document library using the REST API - this is occurring inside a timer service application so am using C#. As a constraint I need to use the internal names for the document libraries - primarily
because users tend to change the display name and this is an automated service.
When I make a call to _api/web/GetFolderByServerRealitveUrl('/Shared Documents')/Files I get a bunch of XML but how do I get just a list of filename+ext. I am using Xdocument (LINQ to XML). I need to retrieve the name property in the
contents sub element for all files returned.
Second question, how to I change this to use the internal name '/Document' instead of '/Shared Document', so that it copes with users changing the display name of document libraries.
Regards
Andy

Hi Andy,
1.For your issue, you can refer to the code as below:
using System.Xml;
namespace REST_XML_LIST_GET
class Program
static XmlNamespaceManager xmlnspm = new XmlNamespaceManager(new NameTable());
static Uri sharepointUrl = new Uri("Site URL/");
static void Main(string[] args)
xmlnspm.AddNamespace("atom", "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom");
xmlnspm.AddNamespace("d", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices");
xmlnspm.AddNamespace("m", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata");
NetworkCredential cred = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", password", "domain");
HttpWebRequest listRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(sharepointUrl.ToString() + "_api/Web/lists/getByTitle('List Name')/items");
listRequest.Method = "GET";
listRequest.Accept = "application/atom+xml";
listRequest.ContentType = "application/atom+xml;type=entry";
listRequest.Credentials = cred;
HttpWebResponse listResponse = (HttpWebResponse)listRequest.GetResponse();
StreamReader listReader = new StreamReader(listResponse.GetResponseStream());
var listXml = new XmlDocument();
listXml.LoadXml(listReader.ReadToEnd());
//Method 1 Seperate node list
var titleList = listXml.SelectNodes("//atom:entry/atom:content/m:properties/d:Title", xmlnspm);
var idList = listXml.SelectNodes("//atom:entry/atom:content/m:properties/d:ID", xmlnspm);
int i = 0;
foreach (XmlNode title in titleList)
Console.WriteLine(title.InnerXml+" "+idList[i++].InnerXml);
//Method 2 single node list
var prop = listXml.SelectNodes("//atom:entry/atom:content/m:properties", xmlnspm);
foreach (XmlNode ndlist in prop)
Console.WriteLine(ndlist.SelectSingleNode("d:Title", xmlnspm).InnerXml + " " + ndlist.SelectSingleNode("d:ID", xmlnspm).InnerXml);
Console.ReadLine();
2. For a workaround, you can get the display name based on the internal name and use the display name in the Rest API.

Query a document library using Search Rest API

How can we search for a specific document library using SharePoint Search through Rest API? We have a couple of document libraries which have thousands of documents with its relevant metadata information stored. We need to create an app to search through
these document libraries and display the document and its metadata. Can someone point me in the right direction?
V

Taking what Shakir said you would substitute queryText with a managed property query (KQL) to query against metadata from the Document library. So if your document library has a Owner column then you would either create or use an existing managed property
defined in the Search Schema. So your query may look like this:
https://<site URL>/_api/search/query?querytext='(owner:smith)+AND+(path:<library url>)'

Not able to copying files/folders from one Document Library to another Document Library using Open with Browser functionality

Hi All,
We have SharePoint Production server 2013 where users are complaining that they are not able to copy or move files from one document library to another document library using “Open with Explorer” functionality.
We tried to activate publishing features on production server but it did not work. We users reported following errors:
Copying files from one document library to another document library:
Tried to map the document libraries and still not get the error to copy files:
In our UAT environment we are able to copy and move folders from using “Open with Explorer” though.
We have tried to simulate in the UAT environment but could not reproduce the production environment.
Any pointers about this issue would be highly appertained.
Thanks in advance

Hi John and all,
One the newly created web applications that we created few days back and navigated to document library, clicked on “Open with Explorer”, we get this error.
We're having a problem opening this location in file explorer. Add this website to your trusted and try again.
We added to the trusted site in Internet Explorer for this web application, cleared the cache and open the site with same document library but still get the same above error.
However, another existing web application (In same the Farm) that we are troubleshooting at the moment, we are able click on “Open with Explorer”, login in credentials opens and we entered the details we are able to open the document
library and tried to follow these steps:
From Windows Explorer (using with Open with Explorer), tried to copy or move a files to
source document library.
From Windows Explorer moved this file to another destination document library and we got this error.
What we have to achieve is users should be able to copy files and folders using
Open with Explorer functionality. We don’t know why Open with Explorer
functionality not work working for our environment.
Are we doing something wrong?
We have referred to following websites.
we hope concepts of copying / Moving files are similar as SharePoint 2010. Our production environment is SharePoint 2013.

Hi Adil,
Document Library is different from a normal list. The document library contains files inside it. You need to update the code to add a document to the library. Then you can get hold of the List Item represented by that file and update its properties. Here
is an example:
$WebURL = "http://aissp2013/sites/TestSite"
$DocLibName = "Docs"
$FilePath = "c:\blogs.txt"
# Get a variable that points to the folder
$Web = Get-SPWeb $WebURL
$List = $Web.GetFolder($DocLibName)
$Files = $List.Files
# Get just the name of the file from the whole path
$FileName = $FilePath.Substring($FilePath.LastIndexOf("\")+1)
# Load the file into a variable
$File= Get-ChildItem $FilePath
# Upload it to SharePoint
$spFile = $Files.Add($DocLibName +"/" + $FileName,$File.OpenRead(),$false)
$item = $spFile.Item
$item["Title"] = "New Title"
$item.Update()
$web.Dispose()

Is it possible to get Exchange emails downloaded to SharePoint document library using Powershell and or Custom Workflow?

I have been asked to see if it would be possible to get exchange emails downloaded and or sent to a document library .
I know of the sitemail box app. but we are not running Exchange 2013.
and setting up the lists and or document library to receive emails using the built in doesn't seem to be working...( maybe not configured correctly, i would need to see what the prior admin/developer did)
But is there a way to get the emails downloaded to a document library using a workflow and or a powershell script that is triggered via workflow?

Hi,
Since workflow can only work on items in SharePoint sites, they cannot get Exchange emails, let alone download emails to SharePoint library. However, you could manually save email to local and upload it to SharePoint list/library.
I'd suggest you toubleshooting the incoming email settings in SharePoint. Please refer to the article below and check your configuration:
