How to limit text amount in a 2013 SharePoint list column?

I have a few lists that have a Remarks or Details column that have multiple lines of text. In my old 2007 site, I had a small script that would hide all but the first 30 characters and then add ... and when you moused over it displayed the rest of
the text. It seams that the script won't work in 2013 SharePoint now and I have yet to find a fix.

Hi,
I think the way you are following is perfect.
For the script to work fine follow the below mentioned steps
1. If it is a custom user control in which the text box is place then placing the script inside the script block on th usercontrol or putting it in a js file should be fine(i know this is straight forward but still im telling)
2. If it is an out of the box page, then placing the script inside the content editor will not work. You will have to add the script editor webpart and then place your script inside that webpart and it should work fine.
Please let us know in case of any issues.

How to limit the number of items that a list control can hold?

Hi,
I am using a Flex3 List control for one of my projects.
I add drag & drop functionality to it, so that i can drag & drop elements from one control to another.
How to limit the number of items that a list control can hold / can be dropped in a list control ?
- Sen.

1. Listen for the dragdrop event on the control you are dragging onto.
2. check the length of the items in the dataprovider - if it exceeds your maximum override the default drop action with e.preventDefault(); (assuming you used e for the event on the handler).

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

There is another note in the conference (marked answered) to your List Item Update problem. Probably worth a try too. [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 to limit the amount of disk space Time Machine will use?

On Yosemite, how do you limit the amount of disk space Time Machine will use?
I'm using a Seagate Goflex Home 2tb drive connected to my router as a Time Machine backup drive. I use this for three things 1)Time Machine 2) an occasional backup of windows document subdirectory 3) backup of music and photos for long term storage. Doing something like re-partioning the drive is not an option. I'll just go buy another drive for time machine's sole use. In addition, using software from Seagate is not an option. I don't want to use their software for different reasons (mainly the GoFlex home is really designed as a "media server" which I don't use. I, of course, use iTunes. ) On the Mac, I'm only using about 250GB total but time machine is rapidly using up space.
Apparently using a terminal command like below, used to work, but no longer works under Yosemite.
For a limit of 100gb the number below would be 100 x 1024
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine MaxSize 102400
To remove the limit, use the following command:
sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine MaxSize
Now, I'm not too familiar with terminal and I'm not about ready to issue a command without knowing exactly what it is going to do.
Is there an easier "switch" someplace or an app that does this?
If I don't limit the size, at some point there will not be any space left for windows backups and additional photo and music files.

Hmm- added "sudo" and there was no error reported:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine MaxSize xxxxxx
I guess we'll see.

How to use SSIS 2014 to read from Sharepoint List ?

Hi there,
I have designed a simple entry form for users using List in Sharepoint 2013.
I need to use the information to merge into my datawarehouse.
Question :
1. How can I setup SSIS (SQL 2014) to get the source from List in Sharepoint?
I have tried to download the script as suggested in codeplex but it seems not working with SQL 2014 as there is no SSIS toolbar displayed.
Any help is much appreciated
Thank you and Best Regards

Hi SylviaO,
The current
SharePoint List Adapter that extracting and loading SharePoint Data in SQL Server Integration Services supports x86/x64 systems using SQL 2005 / SQL 2008 / SQL 2008 R2/ SQL 2012. It doesn’t support SQL 2014. Maybe we need wating the update.
Besides, the
OData Source component can also be used to read from SharePoint lists. So we can download and install the 64 bit ODataSourceForSQLServer2014-amd64.msi or 32 bit ODataSourceForSQLServer2014-x86.msi from the
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014 Feature Pack.
The following blog about using the SSIS OData Source Connector to read data from SharePoint lists is for your reference:
http://whitepages.unlimitedviz.com/2014/03/using-the-odata-source-connector-with-sharepoint-online-authentication/
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

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()
$spItem["Title"] = $row."Title".ToString()

How do I customize the forms to the SharePoint list

I need to customize a form to a SharePoint list that I created in Visual Studio.
After the deploy list, try to customize the EditForm.aspx, NewForm and forms, however when publishing the form of a message that basically says catastrophic error is displayed:
This form is not a standard SharePoint.
How do I customize the forms to the list created?

Hi,
Here is a link which describe how to customize SharePoint list forms using Visual Studio, Please compare it with your code and see if there is any possibility causing the error.

How to make a SharePoint list column ReadOnly using Sharepoint designer

Hi,
         I am new to sharepoint. Need to make a few columns readonly in a sharepoint list.  Not sure how. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Here is one more Simple and Best practice to be fallowed using powershell
http://soreddymanjunath.blogspot.in/2014/04/readonly-field-using-powershell.html
Cls
Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.Sharepoint.Powershell"
$web= Get-SPWeb -Identity "http://test.dev/sites/Wftest"
$ls=$web.Lists.TryGetList("test");
$flds=$ls.Fields["CustID"]
$flds.ReadOnlyField=$true
$flds.Update();
Note:  If
ReadOnlyField =TRUE,
the field is not displayed in New or Edit forms
ReadOnly to TRUE hides
the field from Site Settings pages for managing site columns and content types. Setting the Hidden attribute
to TRUE completely
hides the field from the UI.
Default  ReadOnlyField value
is set to false.
Best Practice is to Use
$flds.ShowInDisplayForm=$false;
$flds.ShowInEditForm=$false;

How to pull AD data into a custom SharePoint list?

We want to pull in all the active directory user data like username, first name, last name and address into a custom SharePoint list.

There is no OOOB way. But you can achieve this with custom code.

How to limit text in a cell

I have a spreadsheet that a column can only contains 30 characters, how can I easily make numbers either identify those over 30 characters or chop off the extra ones?

There are a couple ways:
1) add an extra column which computes the length and posts a message "TOO LONG" when the length of the contents of the cells exceeds your limit
Cell B2=IF(LEN(A2)>30, "TOO LONG", "")
select B2 and fill down as necesary
2) Use a second table to shade the rows in error:
- Make a 2nd table with a single column
- in this new table enter the formula:
A2=IF(LEN(Table 2::A2)>30, 1, 0)
select A2 and fill down as necessary
- now select all the rows in this table and apply conditional formatting using the menu item "Format > Show Conditional Formatting Rules"
- make the single column as wide as the table or cell you want to flag with an error
- Send the 2nd table (the one with the header "Check") to the back using the menu item "Arrange > Sent To Back"
- slide the 2nd table under the first
