Infopath list form displays blank in edit mode in SharePoint 2010

Hi,
I have a custom list in SharePoint 2010. I am using InfoPath 2010 form to Insert and Edit list data. The list was working fine in the past days. Suddenly the InfoPath form displays nothing when I click on the Edit Item Button but its working fine in New
Item and Read Only mode. I checked Form Web Parts--> Content Type Forms--> (Item) Edit Form where the InfoPath form Web Part is missing. I added the InfoPath Form Web Part manually there then the InfoPath form displaying blank where
list data is available. All other lists are working fine in the site collection.
Would somebody help to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Hi pointtoshare,
When you added a new item in the custom list, whether this issue occurred.
Whether you could customize the custom list form using InfoPath.
Please click on “Customize Form”, it will be opened with InfoPath, check whether the default view has data. And create a new view, set it as default view, publish it , compare the result.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Calculated Value in Infopath List Form only appears when editing.

I have a InfoPath 2010 List Form running against SharePoint 2010 Enterprise. I've created a calculated value that returns data from a secondary list. The returned value is correct but isn't being displayed in the display form. It only appears
when I click Edit. Help!?!

Hi dshupe,
According to your description, my understanding is that you were using a Calculated Value control in InfoPath, and the contorl could not display in the list display form.
I reproduced this issue, and it seem to be impossible to display the control in display form.
For implementing your requirement, you can add a textbox control, and set default value using calculated value(formula) for the textbox control, then set the control read-only. After that, the textbox control can not only work as well as a Calculated
Value control, but also display in display form.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Repeting control in Infopath list form

Hi ,
I want to create repeating control in List InfoPath form... Repeating control only comes in form template, but I have list form which I edited and done the changes in InfoPath, Now I want to add somehow repetign control , how can I do that
if it is not possible any other way I can achieve repeating kind of structure in list InfoPath form .
Please mark answer , if you think answer is helpful or correct.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to use repeating control in InfoPath List Form.
To submit data to a SharePoint list from an InfoPath form, you could create a
SharePoint List form template that allows multiple items to be submitted.

Page Content Won't Display in Contribute (Edit Mode) or Dreamweaver (Design View)

I have pages on my site that have decided they don't want to display content either in Contribute (in edit
mode) or in DreamWeaver (in design view). They always look fine in Live view, prior to hitting the 'edit' button or when viewing in a browser. Using CS4 on Windows XP. I use Contribute for small edits and this renders that tool useless as there is no WYSIWYG. It's a pain in Dreamweaver to have to keep previewing in browser when I'm used to working in code/design view. Any help most appreciated. Here's the page I'm currently having the problem with:

Twitter widget only displays feed in edit mode?

Hi all
I have just created one of the new twitter widgets and pasted the generated html into a script editor webpart.
whilst in edit mode the twitter feed displays perfectly and even updates in real time, however when I save the page the live feed vanishes and all I am left with is the link to the twitter feed page?
am I making a obvious mistake?
thanks

Hi,
Is there any difference between "Browse Mode" and "Edit Mode" if you inspect the style of it using IE Developer?
For example, if it is invisible in "Browse Mode", there might be an attribute "display:none" or "visibility:invisible" of this Twitter widget, then you can try to modify it to show the widget by adding a custom CSS style.
Or you can post a question to the corresponding forum of Twitter to see whether it is compatible in SharePoint.

How to publish infopath list form changes from one environment to another

How can we move InfoPath customized list form changes from one environment to another example Development environment to UAT environment? We can save that as source file and update url on the .xsn file. But is there any other way we can do it?
Rajasekar A.C

Hi,
You can save the list as template in source environment. Download the template for List Templates, upload in the same location in Destination site. The customized infopath should go with it. Let us know if that doesnt work.

Filled out form displays Blank

Hi I've created a form using Adobe livecycle 8, i've published it allowing to have exteded feature and distributed the form. when I get the form back filled out, and open it in acrobat8 or reader9 the form appears blank.The person that sent it to me can see it filled out.
Can some one help me find out why this happens?

Another note...
When data is exported using Manage Form Data - Export and the resulting .fdf file is opened with Acrobat all the fileds appear filled in as they should within Acrobat.
Also data is extracted properly when using the Manage Form Data - Merge Data files into Spreadsheet command is given.
Given all this it feels as though I'm overlooking something real simple and going too deep, too quick, to find the answer...certainly hope so
Thanks,

Subhash

Inderjeet, just a quick pointer about this utility. The guy behind it is a UK based MVP, who's mentioned in the tool description that it's not an upgrade tool. I just think that should be kept in mind before offering it as a solution.
Subhash, if you've not got a lot of content to move and don't mind installing a third party tool, Metalogix Content Matrix Express edition would work perfectly for this need. It's also free.

Thanks.

Hi StarMoonEarth,
According to your description, when you click on the System Setting, it throws error message says "SQL Server Reporting Services Shared Service does not exist". Right?
In this scenario, you can check if the Reporting Services is started. Follow the steps below:
In SharePoint Central Administration, click Manage Services on Server in the
System Settings group.
Find SQL Server Reporting Services Service and click Start in the Action column.
The status of the Reporting Services service will change from Stopped to
Started. If the Reporting Services service is not in the list, use PowerShell to install the service.
If the Reporting Services shared is still not existing, please use PowerShell cmdlts to install the Reporting Services service. Please refer to the Section 2 in the link you have posted.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

Send a list item as a bulk e-mail using SharePoint 2010

My scenario is to e-mail newsletters to a group of users (running into 1000's) and we were thinking about any pro's and cons of using SharePoint here.
Preferable if the newsletter were embedded in the e-mail so there is no need to give permission to a user to visit the site (or do we have to anyway?)
Also, a functionality such that, every list item could have an option such as "E-mail to Group 1" or "Email to Group 2" that would allow the item to be mass e-mailed.
Group 1 assume to be a group of 500 individuals with only e-mail addresses known...
If SharePoint seems right, then can anyone suggest me how to go about this? If it is possible with OOTB/designer?

For you scenario, you could explore ECB Menu action using SharePoint designer.
The logic would be first fire up SharePoint designer and create an ECB menu to start a workflow ie initiate workflow in SharePoint designer (you need to create two workflows each for Group1 and Group2 to make it simple)
Next step would be to create a workflow to send an email to the selected group and use item values within the workflow to create the newletter.
here are some reference on how to -

Webdings font used infopath list form not displaying in firefox

We are using expand and collapse functionality in infopath 2010 using section along with buttons. We are using button text as webdings font to display up and down arrow mark. This works fine on IE. But not on firefox instead of arrow its displaying number
5 and 6. How can we display that in firefox as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
Rajasekar A.C

Hi Rajasekar,
It seems Firefox cannot render the webdings font if we use it in InfoPath, per the following similar post, you can use the "Times New Roman" as a workaround, please see more from the following reference.
" Fonts
Picking the font/symbols is more limited than this would initially have you belief. Testing later, I found that the characters chosen didn't render in Webdings font in any Firefox or Safari. Neither did symbols in any of the Wingdings fonts render
correctly. They worked fine in IE, but not in other browsers.
My workaround was to instead choose a web safe font Times New Roman, choose the arrow characters from that font in character map to copy and paste. Those work across the board in all three of the aforementioned browsers.
Kind of weird because as far as I understand, Webdings, Wingdings, Wingdings 2, and Wingdings 3 are all supposed to be supported by Firefox and Safari . . . maybe it's something to do with SharePoint in combination with browsers other than IE? "

InfoPath 2010 does not work in claims authentication mode on SharePoint 2010

Hi everyone,
I created an Infopath 2010 Forms published on a Claims-based authentication site collection. This form has an external datasource plugged on the
_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx webservice (within the same site collection). This datasource is queried when the form opens. When I check this form with Infopath designer preview, everything works fine.
But once this forms is published, an error "Error while trying to contact Web Service" occured when opening a new form.
Here ere an extract of the logs:
The following query failed: GetUserProfileByName (User: DOMAIN\username, Form Name: library, IP: , Connection Target: , Request: http://server/_layouts/FormServer.aspx?xsnLocation=http://server/library/forms/template.xsn?DefaultItemOpen=1&Source=http://server/page.aspx, Form ID: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:library:-myXSD-2010-01-12T23-08-28 Type: DataAdapterException, Exception Message: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.
Server was unable to process request. ---> Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.)
Here is an extract of my IIS log:
2010-11-25 13:45:30 fe80::b9ab:23d9:ff9e:bb23%11 POST /_vti_bin/userprofileservice.asmx - 50000 - fe80::b9ab:23d9:ff9e:bb23%11 InfoPathDA 500 0 0 41
Additionnaly, you have to know :
If we set the web application authentication mode in "Classic mode", everything work fine
As soon as we set "Claim mode authentication", we reproduce the issue and this even if we are using a Windows integrated  account or an external account (SQL Memberships, Claims/AD)
We reproduce this issue in different SharePoint FARM.
It seems that this issue is generic with "Claims mode authentication" and i'm not shure that other forum can help us.
How can I make this WebService works for my form?
Thanks in advance.
Seb Nicot

I am not sure but a Code Solution might work ... I assume InfoPath 2010 is not Claims-Based aware.
I am on SP1 and June 2011 CU but still had no luck
If you only need the current user’s login name, then in the “FormEvents_Loading” event, you can retrieve the current user name with a call to the “Application.User.LoginName” property. Here is an example:
        public void FormEvents_Loading(object sender, LoadingEventArgs e)
            XPathNavigator codeUserNameXPN = this.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode(
                "/my:myFields/my:CodeRetrievedUserName", this.NamespaceManager);
            codeUserNameXPN.SetValue(this.Application.User.LoginName);
OR ----------------
        public void FormEvents_Loading(object sender, LoadingEventArgs e)
            //A place to write the results
            XPathNavigator codeUserNameXPN = this.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode(
                "/my:myFields/my:CodeRetrievedUserName", this.NamespaceManager);
            //codeUserNameXPN.SetValue(this.Application.User.LoginName);
            try
                //ThresholdAuthentication is the web service reference to the
                //https://test:24575/_vti_bin/authentication.asmx web service
                GetUserName.ThresholdAuthentication.Authentication authenticationWS =
                    new GetUserName.ThresholdAuthentication.Authentication();
                //Call the web service's Login method and pass the username and password of a site
                //administrator so we have rights to read all user profiles
                authenticationWS.Url = "https://test:24575/_vti_bin/authentication.asmx";
                authenticationWS.CookieContainer = new System.Net.CookieContainer();
                GetUserName.ThresholdAuthentication.LoginResult result = authenticationWS.Login(
                    "Admin", "Pa$$w0rd");
                if (result.ErrorCode == GetUserName.ThresholdAuthentication.LoginErrorCode.NoError)
                    //If we authenticated correctly, then set up a call to the user profile service
                    //ThresholdUserProfileService is the web service reference to the
                    //https://test:24575/_vti_bin/userprofileservice.asmx web service
                    GetUserName.ThresholdUserProfileService.UserProfileService userProfileWS =
                        new GetUserName.ThresholdUserProfileService.UserProfileService();
                    //Pass the authentication cookies we got back from the authentication web service
                    userProfileWS.Url = "https://test:24575/_vti_bin/userprofileservice.asmx";
                    userProfileWS.CookieContainer = authenticationWS.CookieContainer;
                    //Try to find the user profile information of the current
                    GetUserName.ThresholdUserProfileService.PropertyData[] resultData =
                        userProfileWS.GetUserProfileByName(this.Application.User.LoginName);
                    //Enumerate through the properties
                    foreach (GetUserName.ThresholdUserProfileService.PropertyData property in resultData)
                        //Pick out the "AccountName" property and display it
                        if (property.Name == "AccountName")
                            codeUserNameXPN.SetValue(property.Values[0].Value.ToString());
                else
                    //If we failed to authenticate properly, display the reason why
                    codeUserNameXPN.SetValue(result.ErrorCode.ToString());
            catch (System.Exception ex)
                //If an exception occurred, report it.
                codeUserNameXPN.SetValue(ex.Message);
Note that in order for this code to work, you will need to make your form template fully-trusted in the “Security” section of the “Form Options” dialog, and then publish your form template to SharePoint as an Administrator-Approved form
template

Editing hosts file SharePoint 2010 Production

Hello,
I have SharePoint 2010 Farm, and I have two web applications; mysite and sharepoint.
How do I suppose to change hosts file?
I currently have
127.0.0.1 sharepoint
127.0.0.1 mysite
Do I need to put NLB IP address instead of 127.0.0.1?
Thanks

There isn't really a reason to use a hosts file. For Search Crawl traffic, using the HOSTS file is not the proper way to target search, instead using the Web Application property SiteDataServers, or I have a project that makes this graphical, https://crawl.codeplex.com.

Quick Edit Mode and InfoPath form

I have a SharePoint list that has a InfoPath customized form.
The InfoPath form has two drop down fields that have a Data Connection to a another support SharePoint list
The connection allows the second drop down list to be filtered by what the user chooses in the first drop down list (cascading fields).
The data in the support SharePoint list is updated.
If a user edits an item using the InfoPath form all is good BUT if a user edits an item in the Quick edit mode the drop down list fields are not updated with the changes in the support list.
I think this is because if InfoPath is not used the data connection is not invoked and the support list changes are not pushed down to the consuming SharePoint list.
Is there anyway a user can edit an item directly in the SharePoint list and still get the data updated in support lists that use a data connection in the InfoPath form?

Hi,
Yes，it is by default that the Quick Edit feature cannot consume InfoPath data connection. Cascaded Lookup function is not supported on Quick Edit Mode in SharePoint 2013.
As far as I know, there is no solution to enable cascaded lookup function on Quick Edit Mode.
For more information, you can have a look at the blog:
