Only using Quick Edit to interact with a list/view in Sharepoint 2013

Hello All,
I would like users to only interact with a view in Quick Edit mode as it has all the functions I need (Edit,add and delete) without having to open Web Forms. Is there a way to hide the "New Item" link on all current and future views for a list?
Thanks
MM

Lobo,
If you want to hide "+ New Item" which come as web part top left corner, then edit web part
Select "Data Sheet view" as default view from "Selected view" drop down of "edit web part property"
- "Data Sheet view" as web part don't show " + New Item" link.
If that list is display as web part in any of the page not as data sheet view as default then below steps will help.
Make "Toolbar type" as No toolbar just below selected view
Change view style to default to "Basic table" from "Edit the current view" of "edit web part property"
If you want to remove "new item" from file tab of ribbon, then permission need to be removed as contributor to read only.
Please 'propose as answer' if it helped you, also 'vote helpful' if you like this reply.

When using quick edit for compressed CSS, edge code does not jump to the particular class but displays the whole thing. This destroys the whole purpose. Does anyone know a fix or extension for that.

I suspect that beautify doesn't touch CSS that it is not aware of (e.g. new properties/syntaxes, vendor-prefixes). See if there's a newer version available.
Which compressed CSS are you using? Most CSS libraries come with both compressed and original stylesheets, so use the original one during development/debugging, and switch to the compressed one for deployment.

Quick Edit Greyed out in Custom List

I have set up a SP 2013 environment using the trial software. I have created a new custom list using the
Custom List App. I've created all the columns and I just want to use Quick Edit to be able to cut and paste columns from an excel sheet (I'd prefer to import the excel sheet but that icon is missing!). Unfortunately, this is greyed out.
Just to test further, I created another custom list using the Custom List in DataSheet View
App - I can use Quick Edit in this list.
Is there a way to enable Quick Edit in my original list..? I don't want to recreate all the columns again - there are quite a few.
Thanks

I'm late to the game on this, but I just encountered the same issue. SP Foundation 2013 demo in a VM. Simple, four-column list. Nothing fancy. I have the box checked to 'Allow individual item checkboxes.
The important variable for me is that I set the view to display Newsletter style. That's what's causing the Quick Edit box to gray out (apparently, any choice other than Default causes this).
I found a resolution at https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2876824?wa=wsignin1.0 . Eventhough that page talks about SP Online, the proposed fix works on SPF also. Click
the List tab on the ribbon for your list. Then, click Modify View. Scroll down and click on the plus sign next to Style to expand that section. From the 'View Style' choices, select Default.

Problems using "Edit Column Widths" feature in List View component

Hello. I'm using a list view component (Xcelsius 4.5 Professional) to display a simple table of text from Excel. I want to adjust the width of the component colums so that all of them fit on the screen at the same time- regardless of how wide they are in the excel columns. The problem is the columns in excel are of variable length; I have no way to predict how wide they will be. The list view component always defaults to the widest column(s) so it ends up pushing some of the columns to the right and I then have to use the scroll bar to see them. I thought the "edit column widths" would allow me to force the column widths in the component (potentially truncating some of the columns), but it does not work that way.
How is the "edit column width" feature supposed to work? What does one enter in the value for each label? Are the units in pixels? When I start entering values I get all kinds of strange behavior...

This was a great place for me to start
Thank you
I took profdant139's suggestions a bit further as my real goal was to have the "Document column" narrower. The goal to be able to see all the other document info that was usually hidden way out to the right
To achieve my results I right clicked in the upper bar with the column names and chose from the drop down box "comments" column (as suggested). I then dragged it to the far right. This pushed all the other columns over.
In the end of the day I ended up adding "Size" and "Date modified" columns as well to get my desired results.
Remember one can move different columns around to be in the order you need by clicking on the column to get it active and then left click and drag it to where you want
Another great thing is that by default (Using Mavericks) the date modified, opened,created columns have date and time. One can shrink them down to xx/xx/xx format by manually adjusting the column width like one does in Excel - click on column separator up top and drag
Once all that is done, at least on my box, I closed it out and opened up a new finder window and everything was as I wanted.
Thank you for the help from the above helper to get me here

Is there a way to use SharePoint 2010 Datasheet View in SharePoint 2013?

Quick edit mode doesn't meet users' requirement. They want the header freezing and column width adjustable like what they did in SharePoint 2010.
I understand the Datasheet view is achieved by Access ActiveX control. Can this be used in SharePoint 2013? And SharePoint 2013 online?

Anyone with a solution to use SP 2010 datasheet AxtiveX control somehow as SP 2013 datasheet view?
Anupam Shrivastava
That wouldn't be possible, this is controlled server-side.

Only Able To Add One File At A Time From Mapped SharePoint (2013) Drive to Outlook (2010) E-mail

I am using SharePoint 2013. I have mapped several network drives. When adding files off SharePoint to an Outlook email, I can only add one file at a time. I can add multiple files IF they are not on SharePoint (e.g., stored locally, or on Dropbox); Previously,
when using SharePoint 2010, I was able to upload multiple files.
ANy advice?
Thanks.

Hi,
There are two methods to add multiple files from SharePoint library to outlook emails:
Sync SharePoint library to outlook via “Connect to Outlook”, then you will find SharePoint Lists in outlook. Locate the library folder, you could select multiple items and drag them to an email.
Open SharePoint library via “Open with Explorer”, then you could selected multiple files and drag them to an email.

Web Form Cancel Edit button changes value of List View item when clicked

I have a web form, I shows 3 buttons, Edit, Save, And cancel. When the user presses the edit button it enables editing. When the user makes an edit and presses the save button it saves the changes. When the user presses the cancel button, it does cancel
the edit ok but it changes the vale in the left list view to a different value. For instance my left list view has a list of vendor names. When I click cancel, the vendor name shown for the selected record, changes to the vendor number. I
have experimented with different values to show in the list view, I have turned off sorting, etc. No matter what everytime I click cancel button it changes the vendor name to the vendor number.
Even stranger is when I scroll the list up and the item that changed is move out of view and then you scroll back down to put it in view it puts the value back to the vendor name.
This isn't consistent as I have created some forms where it doesn't do this.
Also when I create a new list view, does anyone know how to get it into the tile pane . the only way to get anything in that list appears to be that I have to create a whole new table.

Powerpivot Data Refresh Not working with Oracle Data Source in sharePoint 2013

I am using SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot for Excel 2010. Getting the following error in SharePoint 2013 environment, when using Oracle data source within a workbook -
EXCEPTION: Microsoft.AnalysisServices.SPAddin.DataRefreshException: Engine error during processing of OLE DB or ODBC error: The specified module could not be found..:

I created a simple Excel 2013 PPIV workbook with an oracle data source and uploaded that to SharePoint 2013, but no change in the results - still getting the above error.
What is this error? We have installed Oracle client (64-bit, since we use 64-bit Excel and Sp is also 64-bit) on SSAS PPIV Server and SharePoint Content DB Server. Do we need
to install it anywhere else?
Thanks,
Sonal

Hi Sonal,
To use PowerPivot for SharePoint on SharePoint 2013, it is required to install PowerPivot for SharePoint with the Slipstream version of SQL Server 2012 SP1. If you install SQL Server 2012 and then use the upgrade version of SQL Server 2012 SP1 to upgrade,
the environment will not support SharePoint 2013.
I would suggest you refer to the following articles:

Show list fields side-by-side when New/Edit/View in sharepoint 2013

It is possible to show fields in customized view for fields in a list? OOB feature show all columns one after one. But
I want to show user customized way. like see below image
Is possible to do in Sharepoint 2013 foundation?. Any developed feature available?
ItsMeSri MOSS SP2, 3 WEFs, Windows 2008 R2 x64.

Someone's developed a way to do it through JQuery - I've done it for a single list - it's time consuming to set up but works perfectly. One text file that has the table structure you want to see, then another with a small JQuery function.
See http://www.markrackley.net/2013/08/29/easy-custom-layouts-for-default-sharepoint-forms/
The table includes spans that reference the actual column display names - an example row:
<tr >
<td>
<b>Title:</b><br>
<span class="FMGCustomForm" data-displayName="Title"></span>
</td>
<td>
<b>Issue Status:</b><br>
<span class='FMGCustomForm" data-displayName="Issue Status"></span>
</td>
</tr>
and the JQuery moves the column from the original location to the correct span. Nice and quick - even on a list with many columns.
<style type="text/css">
.ms-formtable
{display:none;}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
//loop through all the spans in the custom layout
$("span.FMGCustomForm").each(function()
//get the display name from the custom layout
displayName = $(this).attr("data-displayName");
elem = $(this);
//find the corresponding field from the default form and move it
//into the custom layout
$("table.ms-formtable td").each(function(){
if (this.innerHTML.indexOf('FieldName="'+displayName+'"') != -1){
$(this).contents().appendTo(elem);
</script>

How can I use the Outlook 2010 social connector to connect to a Sharepoint 2013 mysite?

Hello Forumfriends!
We have recently (like, last Weekend) migrated our Sharepoint 2010 Farm to SharePoint 2013 and we have started using mysites.
Now, there is a nice featur in Outlook 2010, the social connector. This connector connects nicely to SharePoint 2010 mysite (it does, I have tested myself).
Unfortunately, I seem to be unable to connect to my new SharePoint 2013 mysite with my Outlook 2010 Client.
Can anyone help me with this?
In SharePoint 2010 I configured the social connector using the URL
http://mysitehost/my. When I do the same with my SharePoint 2013 mysite it says "Could not connect to Server"
We are not using Office 365 and no, we will not rollout Outlook 2013.
Regards,
Jack

Hi Jack,
According to your description, my understanding is that you could use Outlook 2010 social connector to connect a SharePoint 2013 MySite.
The OSC makes Outlook 2010 a social networking tool by connecting to the new social experiences in SharePoint 2010. That connection allows the OSC to download activity feeds for colleagues and display them inside the new People Pane.
When using Outlook 2013 Social Connector connecting to SharePoint 2013, Outlook calls /_layouts/15/ActivityFeed.aspx with parameter (destination user email) to sync updates. However, it is likely that Outlook 2010 cannot recognize SharePoint 2013 newsfeed.
So, for solving your issue, I suggest you use Outlook 2013 Social Connector to connect a SharePoint 2013 MySite.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

List all users with full control on a SharePoint 2013 Sub site from SharePoint Object Model in C#

If I have a sub site URL and a user with Site Admin, can I list all users in that sub site that have Full Control at that level?
Any C# code sample?

Still you can do that, just pass the subsites to your code and from their you can find the users dynamically.
You could also use SPWeb.Users property to get users assigned to a subsite
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spweb.users(v=office.15).aspx
alternatively you can also use SPWeb.SiteUsers to get all users
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spweb.siteusers(v=office.15).aspx

Issue with @mention urls in newsfeed - SharePoint 2013

I have configured mysites in SharePoint 2013 with following cnfigurations,
Server name : Server1
Alternate Access Mappings for Portal (on port 80): Server1 (default), Intra.domain.com
Alternate Access Mappings for MySites (on port 1234): Server1:1234, mysite.domain.com . I created these by extending web applications on port 80 with host header.
When accessing Mysites using - mysite.domain.com
I am able access mysites and intranet portal without any issues, browse org chart, post comments etc..
Links to Newsfeed, Onedrive Pro, about me etc.. all are working fine.
links to Hashtags are working fine. E.g #SharePoint
But when i post with '@mention' links to these user profiles are taking me to 'Server1:1234' urls instead of 'mysite.domain.com' urls.
Did any one experience similar issue? I am not if it is a bug in SharePoint.
Any ideas to fix this issue?

Hi Srujank,
According to your description, my understanding is that the URL changed to Server:1234 when you posted with @mention in Newsfeed.
Did this issue occur with other users?
How did you configure the Alternate Access Mapping for the My Site web application?
I recommend to set the Server:1234 as the default zone URL of the My Site web application and set the mysite.domain.com as the other zone’s URL.
Best regards.
Thanks

Certain things have changed on firefox but work with explorer,ie copy and paste have to use edit didn;t before , certain website i can only use explorer, when i open with firefox i can not burn a cd but can when open with explorer This has just changed ?

as above firefox has stoped working on some things ?

I tried what you suggested on the tools site....made all the changes...didn't help. Then I just uninstalled the whole firefox that i had used forever....and re-installed all over again....tried it, same error msgs....tried the tool site again on that, and still same error msgs. why don't you folks have a phone number i can call and talk to an actual person to walk me thru this problem? am an old 70 yr old lady who has always depended on firefox.

My jetpack won't charge. I only use the cable that came with it. and by won't charge, I mean even when plugged in the battery keeps dropping and never goes up.

My MiFi jetpack 6620 doesn't charge. I've plugged it into the charger that comes with it, and only that charger. But nothing happens. The battery keeps getting drained. I first attempted when it was at 16%. After being on the charger a few hours, it dropped to 15%, then 14%. I'm currently at 12%. I've tried different outlets at different locations. And I've tested the charger cable on my phone and it charges that just fine. Which is more likely: the battery is defective or there is a problem with the jetpack itself? and the real kicker is that I've only had it for a week.

Happy Friday cjyoyomasta! I wanted to reach out to you to see if you received the assistance that you need with your jetpack. May I ask have you took the device to the store for assistance? If so, what was the results? If you can provie us with a status update then we can assist, if still needed.
Thank you…
