How to enable visio file (.vsd) preview in sharepoint 2013

I enabled visio service, but when I click a vsd file in document, it is not show online, just download it.

As per my understanding SharePoint will not open .VSD files in browser. If you are using Visio 2013 then save those files as .VSDX and SharePoint 2013 will open those files in Browser or you can save your Visio file as Web Drawing (.VDW) and they should
open in browser as well.

How to manage huge file size documents in SharePoint 2013?

we have different kinds of files
.avi, .wmv, mpeg, .mpg, .m1v, .mp2, .wav, .snd, .au,.mdb,
.db,.bat, .exe, .dll,
and .jar
huge in file size.
appreciated solutions for DMS. like sharepoint and file server or any other solutions.

You have a hard limit of 2Gb which you cannot get around with Remote Blob Storage or anything else. Beyond that size, you're going to have to store content outside SharePoint with links to the content for your readers, of using Search Indexing on the file
location.
If the files are large but not greater than 2Gb they can be stored in SharePoint, but you should be aware of the supported limits for Content Database size, which I recall as 100Gb for a single Content DB, or up to 200Gb for a rarely updated Content DB containing
a single site collection.

How many server licenses do I need for SharePoint 2013?

I am new to the concept of CAL. I am reading about it. I found this linkhttp://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/101914/how-many-server-licenses-do-i-need-for-sharepoint-2013
Suppose there are 2 users in the sharepoint farm. As per above link we requires 7/8 server license. So my question is do we requires 7/8 licences per user basis (2*7/8) or we requires 7/8 licences once only then we require 2 more licenses for 2 users (7/8 +2)?

The second option.
If you have 7 SharePoint servers then you need 7 SharePoint Server Licenses.
If you have two people in your company who can use SharePoint then you need two Client Access Licenses (7 server, 2 CAL).
If you had two hundred thousand users who could then you would need two hundred thousand CALs, but the number of server licenses would not change. (7 server, 200,000 CALs).

How to enable "All Files" in SharePoint Designer 2010

Hi everyone,
How can I enable "All Files" in my sharepoint designer.In home laptop I see it,but in production environment where I work,opening SharePoint Designer I can not see "All Files" button.I am with admin account and everithing is ticked in the central administration
Designer options.
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
I noticed that you said you can see the ‘All files’ folder in home laptop ,but it is missing when open in the production environment .Did this happen to
all the sites or the site in the specific web application ?Have you extend the web application into an Internet zone?
Actually you should change the SharePoint designer settings in both Central Administration and Site collection settings .Perform an IIS reset after change
the settings and reopen the site in SharePoint designer.
For more information about SharePoint designer settings ,please refer to this site :

How to Include JS file already available in SharePoint Site(Style Library) in Command action

I have included JS file in command Action Using below command
<CommandUIHandlers>
<CommandUIHandler
Command="EnableCustomGroup"
CommandAction="javascript:return true;" />
<CommandUIHandler
Command="CustomGroupHelloWorld"
CommandAction="javascript:openPopup();" />
</CommandUIHandlers>
</CommandUIExtension>
</CustomAction>
<CustomAction Id="Ribbon.Library.Actions.Scripts"
Location ="ScriptLink"
ScriptSrc="/_layouts/15/images/Scripts/Popup.js" />
It was working fine now I am embeding my project to Development Project in which we have divided the Modules in to two different projects One project with all Branding work including all CSS and JS files (including the above Popup.JS file) which once deployed
and the js file is residing in Style Library.
The Second project has the Command Action to call the JS file which is already residing in Site (Style Library) I am unable to refer that file path I tried using "/Style Library...... Popup.js" and also the full URL "http://site collection/style
Library/... Popup.js" just to make sure if it is working or not. But it is throwing error saying file is not found. Can anyone help me how to refer the file what source URL should i give. Thanks in Advance
Thanks and Regards,
Raj Kamal Singh Rathore

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to reference the custom JavaScript file which stored in the style library in custom action.
I suggest you can reference the js file using the relative path of Style library like below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<CustomAction
Title="test"
ScriptSrc="~SiteCollection/Style Library/jquery-1.11.2.min.js"
Location="ScriptLink"
Sequence="100"
>
</CustomAction>

How to change 'Modified By' column value when a new file is uploaded in SharePoint 2013 using Client Object Model?

I want to change 'Modified By' column value of a file that is being uploaded using Client Object Model in SharePoint 2013. The problem is that the version of the file is changing. Kindly help me. The code that I am using is:
using (System.IO.Stream fileStream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(m_strFilePath))
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File.SaveBinaryDirect(m_clientContext, str_URLOfFile, fileStream, true);
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File fileUploaded = m_List.RootFolder.Files.GetByUrl(str_URLOfFile);
m_clientContext.Load(fileUploaded);
m_clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
User user1 = m_Web.EnsureUser("User1");
User user2 = m_Web.EnsureUser("User2");
ListItem item = fileUploaded.ListItemAllFields;
fileUploaded.CheckOut();
item["UserDefinedColumn"] = "UserDefinedValue1";
item["Title"] = "UserDefinedValue2";
item["Editor"] = user1;
item["Author"] = user2;
item.Update();
fileUploaded.CheckIn(string.Empty, CheckinType.OverwriteCheckIn);
m_clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

Hi talib2608,
Chris is correct for this issue, when calling update using ListItem.update method, it will increase item versions, using SystemUpdate and UpdateOverwriteVersion will update the list item overwrite version.
these two methods are not available in CSOM/REST, only server object model is available for this.

Resource Files in SandBoxed Solutions SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I want to create Resource files MyResource_en.resx and MyResource_ar.resx in the sandboxed solutions,how can i do that because as per my understandings we cannot access resource files from the App_GlobalResources folder in our virtual directory when working
on sand boxed solutions.
Can anyone suggest me the work around to use resource files in sand boxed solutions.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create Resource files in the sandboxed solutions.
There is an article for your reference, although it is about the SharePoint 2010, it is similar to SharePoint 2013.
Embedding Resources in Sandbox Solutions
Per my knowledage, SharePoint sandboxed solutions are deprecated in SharePoint 2013 Preview in favor of developing apps for SharePoint.
I recommend to create App to achive what you want.

How to Construct the Email To activity in SharePoint 2013 Workflow

I have a created a custom workflow and custom association and initiation form using SharePoint 2013.
My Assn. form is fine. I pass in the people picker (Active Directory group) value to my workflow just fine.
Now on my Init form I use the passed in value from people picker and display a list of users and email addresses from the people picker group. The list of users and email addresses are listed in a table with a check box to the left of each row. I am
using JQuery, Knockout and MVC web service to retrieve the values from the group.
All is well.
Now my users pick who they want to send the email to. Let's say they pick two users!
When the user clicks the submit button, I have JSOM code which starts the workflow and sends in the 2 users email addresses as an argument to theworkflow.
Note: I tried sending my two emails as a collection and failed. So i converted it to a string. The variable is called strUsers.
Since the argument is a string and Email Activity requires the To attribute to be an array, I use the BuildCollection<String> Activity to convert my string to an array.
Now in my workflow I use WriteToHistory Activity to write out my BuildCollection variable (recipients). Here's what is sent to the workflow history... [email protected];joejones@yahoo,com) Note:
Both names are bogus and I'm not Joe Jones.
I then configure the email Activity and set to To property to my BuildActivity variable (recipients).
When I deploy my Visual Studio 2013 solution, and attach my workflow to a publishing page, I am getting this error after I submit the Init form.
An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of workflow instance. System.ArgumentNullException.
Does anyone know of an example of how to set up the Email To collection value.
Note: I tried using comma and semi-colon for my string (strUsers). Neither worked.
Thanks
Tom

I think I'm getting close.
Here’s an
article
that helped me out and below is my code. Note: I added a ParseDynamicValue and GetDynamicValueProperty to push the data from the "emails" property to colleciton of strings called EmailCollect.
Here is what the data look likes
The value of Selected Emails is [{"emails":"[email protected]"},{"emails":"[email protected]"}]
Code excerpt in InitiationForm. Note: I am using MVVM and Knockout for the selected users from a list with checkboxes.
  //build array for workflow
  var emailUsers =
new Array();
  //cycle through viewmodel emails
for (var
i = 0; i < viewModel.SelectedEmails().length; i++)
var a =
new Object();
                    a["emails"]
= viewModel.SelectedEmails()[i];
                    emailUsers.push(a);
wfParams['strSelectedEmailsHMgr']
= JSON.stringify(emailUsers);
     // Get workflow subscription
and then start the workflow
var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var wfManager = SP.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServicesManager.newObject(context, context.get_web());
var wfDeployService = wfManager.getWorkflowDeploymentService();
var subscriptionService = wfManager.getWorkflowSubscriptionService();
                context.load(subscriptionService);
                context.executeQueryAsync(
function (sender, args) {
// Success
var subscription =
null;
// Load the workflow subscription
if (subscriptionId)
                            subscription = subscriptionService.getSubscription(subscriptionId);
if (subscription) {
if (itemId !=
null && itemId !=
// Start list workflow
                                wfManager.getWorkflowInstanceService().startWorkflowOnListItem(subscription,
itemId, wfParams);
