Inserting ordered/unordered list items breakes the document design

Hi,
I use JEditorPane to edit HTML document. When I insert ordered/unordered list items, it breakes the design of the document. For example, I have next peace of the document:
<center>
This text is centered.
One more line...
</center>
after inserting list item between text lines, document looks like :
<center>
This text is centered.
</center>
<ol>
<li>
</li>
</ol>
<center>
One more line...
</center>
Note, that center tag is closed before list item and opened after it.
Is it possible that inserted list items will save the original design of text around ?
Thanks.
.Vlad.

Change the Leading in the Character Pallet to a smaller number, and increase the Space After in the Paragraph Pallet.
The space between lines in the same paragraph is the leading, the space between paragraphs is not leading, and trying to achieve it with the leading field always creates more problems than it solves.

Try some thing like below,
your data value that needs to be update should be in this format "ID of the lookup";#"Title of the Lookup"
For example,
listItem["Product_x0020_Number"]
= "1;#iPhone";
listItem["Product_x0020_Number"]
= "2;#Mobile";
Hope this helped you....

Thanks in Advance

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to update the list item in the same sharepoint list with particular condition with Sharepoint Designer 2013.
I recommend to create workflow associated to the list and then start the workflow automatically when an item is changed.
In the workflow, you can add condition and actions as below:
If current item: C equal to Test1
Set E to Test2
Then the value of the filed E will be changed based on the value of the filed C.
In addition, if you create the form using InfoPath, you can add rule to the filed C as below:

Open references of other list items from a list item in the same window or tab

Hi there,
We have migrated from lotus notes to sharepoint. We have converted the lotus notes forms to sharepoint forms. Basically the list items are pages and there are links of other pages in a page.
My problem is I want to open the other pages in the same tab or window and not in a separate window.(currently the links open in a separate window which is not the requirement.)
In terms of sharepoint I would say,
I have references(links) to other list items of the list in a single list item. I want to open the other list items in the same window (tab).
How can we achieve this?? If possible without much codes??
Please suggest.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

How to implement tooltip for the list items for the particular column in sharepoint 2013

We can use JavaScript or JQuery to show the tooltips. Refer to the following similar thread.

Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only.

Trying to follow Serge Luca's Step by Step Tutorial. Creating Workflows for Windows Sharepoint Services and MOSS2007. http://sergeluca.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!E8A06D5F2F585013!859.entry
I have an onWorkflowActivated, followed by an ifElse condition and a log to history.
In the IfElse, each branch has a code segment, that trys to update the status column in the list that the workflow is attached to.
private void Authorize_ExecuteCode(object sender, EventArgs e)
// tried serveral methods
WorkflowProperties.Item["Status"] = "Automatically Approved";
// tried all of the following (one at a time)
item.update();
WorkflowProperties.Item.Update();
WorkflowProperties.Item.SystemUpdate();
//tried this as well.
Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem item = WorkflowProperties.Item;
item["Status"] = "Automatically Approved";
item.Update() ;
On the update call I keep getting "Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only."
Could someone explain how to update "Status" column of the list item that the workflow is working on?
Thank you very much.
Bill

Hi:
you can do the following:
add the following code to the workflow.xml file (under the MetaData section)
Code Snippet
<ExtendedStatusColumnValues>
<StatusColumnValue>Branch1</StatusColumnValue>
<StatusColumnValue>Branch2</StatusColumnValue>
</ExtendedStatusColumnValues>
then add 2 SetState activities one in each branch of the IfElse.
for the code behind of setState1 (branch1) write the following code:
Code Snippet
state = Convert.ToInt32(SPWorkflowStatus.Max);
for setState2 (branch2) write the following:
Code Snippet
state = Convert.ToInt32(SPWorkflowStatus.Max) + 1;
where state is the variable assigned to the field State in the properties of the SetState(design lever), or instead of state u can use the following code:
Code Snippet
((SetState)sender).State
where sender is the object sent through the function parameter.
hope this answered your question

How to populate List Item from the table in a form builder

I want to know how to populate the List Item (pop up menu and combo box) from a table.
Supposing I have a table Customer(cust_id,cust_name)
and now I want to populate it in such a manner that I can update the data back to the database and also access the list on the form.

This is the method i am using to populate a list.
1- First of all you need to create a non-database list item for customer_name.
2-create this procedure
PROCEDURE populate_list_with_query
--Populates the given list item with the specified query.
(p_list_item in VARCHAR2
,p_query in VARCHAR2)
IS
/* Name the record group after the list item (no
block prefix). */
cst_rg_name constant VARCHAR2(30) :=
GET_ITEM_PROPERTY(p_list_item,item_name);
v_rg_id RECORDGROUP;
BEGIN
v_rg_id := FIND_GROUP(cst_rg_name);
IF ID_NULL(v_rg_id) THEN
v_rg_id := CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY(cst_rg_name,p_query);
END IF;
IF POPULATE_GROUP(v_rg_id) = 0 THEN
POPULATE_LIST(p_list_item,v_rg_id);
/* Force display of first list element label
in the list item. */
COPY(GET_LIST_ELEMENT_VALUE(p_list_item,1),p_list_item);
END IF;
END populate_list_with_query;
3- Create When-Create-Record on the block level and write this code
BEGIN
POPULATE_LIST_WITH_QUERY('bk1.customer_name',
'SELECT customer_name, to_char(customer_id) FROM customer');
END;
In this example, the customer name is the (visible) list label and the customer ID is the (actual) list value
i hope this will solve your problem ...

How to break the document line items in cross company code document

Hi,
Currently the cross company code posting is summing up all the line items and posting as a single line item as long as the line items are having the same tax code.
The system will break the line items only if there are non-identical tax codes. How can i change this default behaviour to break the line items in all cases?

It is the standard SAP behaviour to sum up all the identical tax code values.

How to Copy list item attachment to document library in SharePoint 2010

Hi,
How to Create a folder ("List Item - Title Name") in Document library and copy list items Attachments to the same folder in SharePoint 2010,thanks in advance.
Regards,
Selvan.J
Selvan J

Hi,
You should first check whether the folder exists in the library, if the folder not exists, then create it.
I had modified the code, you can use the following code snippet to achieve it.
private void EventCopyFileWhenItemCreatedOrUpdated(SPItemEventProperties properties)
SPSite site = new SPSite(http://YourSiteName);
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
SPList doclibList=properties.Web.Lists["YourLibName"];
bool foundFolder = false;
if (doclibList.Folders.Count>0)
foreach (SPListItem fitem in doclibList.Folders)
if (fitem.Title.Equals("FolderA"))
foundFolder = true;
break;
if (foundFolder == false)
SPListItem folder = doclibList.Folders.Add(doclibList.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl, SPFileSystemObjectType.Folder,"FolderA");
folder.Update();
string fUrl = doclibList.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl+"/FolderA";
SPFolder myLibrary = web.GetFolder(fUrl);
if (properties.ListTitle == "YourListName")
SPListItem sourceItem = properties.ListItem;
properties.Web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
//get the folder with the attachments for the source item
SPFolder sourceItemAttachmentsFolder =
sourceItem.Web.Folders["Lists"].SubFolders[sourceItem.ParentList.Title].SubFolders["Attachments"].SubFolders[sourceItem.ID.ToString()];
//Loop over the attachments, and add them to the target item
foreach (SPFile file in sourceItemAttachmentsFolder.Files)
if (CheckFileNameExist(file.Name , properties) == false)
byte[] binFile = file.OpenBinary();
myLibrary.Files.Add(System.IO.Path.GetFileName(file.Url) , binFile);
private bool CheckFileNameExist(string fileNameInFileAttach, SPItemEventProperties properties)
bool flag = false;
SPList myDocumentLib = properties.Web.Lists["YourLibName"];
SPQuery spQuery = new SPQuery();
SPListItemCollection items = myDocumentLib.GetItems(spQuery);
foreach (SPListItem item in items)
if (fileNameInFileAttach == item["Name"].ToString())
flag = true;
break;
return flag;

How do I move a list item to the left?

I need help formatting graphic banners inside a list.
What I'm doing: Updating a very old pre-CSS site with messy,
messy code.
The layout is done by tables within tables within tables
(three layers of nested tables.)
In the innermost table, the right column contains a list of
links. Originally the page had every link in a seperate <p>
tag, with bullets specified as numbers in the HTML. To try to
update and clean things up, I made everything an unordered list,
and used a LI style to set margin-bottom to .75em (to put some
spacing between the list entries) and text-align to justify.
And, I want to have a few (graphic banners) flush against the
left margin of the table column.
I created a new style, BareListItem, and gave it no style (to
remove the bullet), and left margin of -1em. That's close.
How can I get the left margin to actually be zero (absolute),
rather than relative?
Here's the style sheet.
LI {
text-align: justify;
margin-bottom: .75em;
.BareListItem {
list-style: none;
margin-left: -1em;
Problem #2: Dreamweaver insists that the column is too wide.
The only thing contained within the column are list items, text,
links, and graphic banners that I'm moving leftward with this style
element. I cannot find anything in there that is too big, yet DW
insists that the table column cannot be thinner.
How can I find out what's the oversized problem -- how can I
find out what's forcing the column to be wider than I have
specified?

I think this is what you're talking about... give this a shot. You can style the menu with CSS if you want.

Copy Attachments of sharepoint list item to a document library using Javascript on click of a button

The requirement is as follows:
1. We have a SP list. All items in the list have mulitple attachments.
2. On click of a button, All the attachments of all items should be copied to a document library
This is to be done from client side only. No server code is acceptable. We have tried following things:
1. USing Asynch call
context = new SP.ClientContext("my site name");
         this.oWebsite = context.get_web();
         var lists = oWebsite.get_lists();
         var list = lists.getByTitle('my list name');
         context.load(oWebsite);
         var folderPath = 'Lists/<my list name>/Attachments/' + folderId;
         var Folder = oWebsite.getFolderByServerRelativeUrl(folderPath);
         context.load(Folder);
         Files = Folder.get_files();
         context.load(Files);
         context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.ExecuteCopyOnSuccess), Function.createDelegate(this, this.ExecuteCopyOnFailure));
function ExecuteCopyOnSuccess(sender, args) {
         for(var p=0;p<this.Files.get_count();p++)
     var file = Files.itemAt(p);
          var filename = file.get_name();
          if (filename != null) {
              var newUrl = 'document library url';
              file.copyTo(newUrl, true);
              context.executeQueryAsync(null,null);
In this case, Files.get_count() throws error - The collection has not been initialized. It has not been requested or the request has not been executed. It may need to be explicitly requested.
2. Using copy.asmx service
It copies files to document library but some files are blank and are having size 0.
Thanks!

I think you can use Document Content types or document sets -

Spaces - to block unreleased content items from the document explorer view

I have configured Webcenter Spaces application to view the webcenter content documents over a document explorer. The problems observed are:
1. The checked in files will be visible to a view only user even the file is under a workflow (unreleased document state in webcenter content). How to show only the released documents over document explorer?
2. I could not find the custom metadata fields associated with a content item displayed in the document explorer columns list. It shows a finite set of pre-defined columns like filename, size, like, description etc
Please advise.

I'm afraid that this is the OOTB behaviour.
Ad 1: the reason for that is that workflow approvals/rejections can be executed directly from the task flow. What you might try is to disable the 'workflow' feature of the task flow - see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/webcenter.1111/e10149/content_prop.htm#WCSUG7365
Ad 2: I'm not aware of any configuration that defines the displayed fields. Perhaps, you could customize the task flow.

Change order of list items in sealed MP

Hi,
I have a MP that is sealed. It includes a list, but also list items exist in that sealed MP. I need to reorder the list. I have the unsealed MP and the seal used. Can i just edit the unsealed version, changing order in the XML code and increase ver. nr.
and if yes then how?

Hi,
I did a test in my lab and just edited the xml version of the MP. I changed the numbers in ordinal to rearrange, incremented the version # plus resealed and imported.

Does anyone know a way to programatically loop through the items in the document library

A lot of the funcations like deleteSymbol and updateSymbol depend on which items are "selected" in the library panel.
Is there a way to programatically access these selections?
or
Loop through the library?
or
Set selections?

Yup, I've asked for an API to access the selection in those panels for years, to no avail.
Note that you can loop through layers, frames and pages, but you can't tell what the user has selected in the actual panel UI. Also, you can't find out which symbols are currently used in the document. Nor can you programmatically insert a rich symbol into the document and have it maintain its "richness".

Inserting ordered/unordered list items breakes the document design
