Open a list item automatically

Hi,
I am using forms 10g. Is there anyway to show (open) the list item automatically when the input cursor or focus moves to the list item field?
Thanks in-advance!

HI

set_item_property('itemname',visible,property_false);

Opening a list item pdf attachment from the display form in a new window

I have a list setup in which attachments are enabled.
Users attach pdf's to list items.
When they go into the display form for a list item and click on a pdf attachment in the "Attachments" area at the bottom of the form, it opens in the same browser window.
I would like to amend this so it opens in a new window. Has anyone found a fix for this?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Hi ,
Put the code below in your DispForm.aspx page .The you can open the attachments in a new window. Including all the other links on the DispForm.aspx page .
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('a').click(function(){
window.open(this.href);
return false;
});</script>

I cannot open Reading List items

I have just found that if I click on any item in my Reading List all that happens is that the Top Sites page opens. What do I need to reset to stop this happening and to link through to the Reading List sites?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

Automatically upload documents to list items in Sharepoint Online

Hi
I need to upload pdf documents to a list (not
a document library, this is not an option) on SharepointOnline (Office365).
In practice, whenever a document is "sent" or "uploaded" to the list, a new list item would be created automatically and the document would be attached to the list item automatically.
At the moment, we are doing this manually but this is not practical with 1,000s of documents.
Any help would be appreciated. The community365 people were unable to help and redirected me here.
Many thanks,
AK

For those who may be interested, I found a workaround that does the trick.
Rather than uploading the actual documents to each list item, I upload the documents to a document library and then include hyperlinks to the locations of the documents in the document library.
This can be achieved by:
(i) creating a new workflow in Sharepoint Designer; the workflow must be attached to the document library where the documents are located AND must be set to launch automatically when a new item is created in the library (see the parameters of the workflow);
and
(ii) in the workflow, choose the action "create a new item"; click on "this list" and choose your destination list; choose a list column where the hyperlink will appear and click on "add" to add a field directing towards that column; choose "Current Element/Encoded
Absolute URL" as the source of data. And bam! it works. A life saver.
Cheers

Open Sharepoint Link List items in new tab?

I have a sharepoint list which is Link List.Actually When I click on item in that link list it should be open in the new tab/window

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to open Link list items in a new tab/windows.
If it is not a must behavior to use the “URL” column to hold the hyperlink, I would suggest you use “Hyperlink with formatting and constraints for publishing” column
instead which can let users decide to open the hyperlink in a new tab or not.
It is required to activate the “SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure” in the “site collection features”, create a column of this type in “Site Settings ->
Web Designer Galleries -> Site Columns”, then you can add it into your list.
Here is a link about how to add publishing columns to content types, lists, or libraries, you could use it as a reference:

Open Dialog on item click javascript

Hi
I have survey page that send in data to a sharepoint list. In the list i want to be abel to click on "No Title" to open that item in a dialog how can i do that with javascript i tried a couple of tutorials i found but nothing worked.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to open Dialog on item click using javascript.
You can use the SharePoint Dialog Framework to create your own dialog.
function openDialog( pUrl ) {
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(
url: pUrl,
width: 500,
height: 500,
title: "My Dialog"
To open dislog when you click title, you can refer to:

another page

Requestors end users will not acces a site directly and add list items

Hi
i created a site for IT services and this site includes some lists for various services
http://Intranet.com/Units/IT services
main site is http://Intranet.com
and also workflow are configured for these lists for create new item
and only 3 type of users will work on these lists
1)Requestors (Create,View rights)
2)Contributers (Contribute permissions)
3)Approvers
Scenario:
-- Requestors will create list items and approvers will Open this list item and edit list item like
approve and add a Contribute userid in AssignedTO field
---Contribute user also will recieve email and he also Open item and edit ans save this list
so basically its backend , data inserted by requestors will save in lists
so here i need all Requestors end users will not acces IT services site and add list item directly in list.
is any other option availabe that i will provide a diffrent front end page for Requestors at root level site (which is Intranet.com )
and they will add and view only their data, and Contributers also view and edit all users data.
adil

Hi adilahmed,
You can use two web parts to show the list items for different group.
In the List view page, add another list view web part, set the first web part list view to filter Created By field with Me, second list with all list items.
Then set the first web part with audience Requested group, and second web part with audience Contributers group.
Thanks,

Deleting a List Item with Very Huge Amount of Versions

A faulty workflow flooded list items with 50K+ versions on SharePoint List. Attempts to open the list item/delete/edit via SharePoint UI/PowerShell failed! Programmatic iterations to delete versions/items trys to consume complete server memory and
fails.
Deleting the complete list is successful, but that results in SharePoint timer jobs fail and places Lots of Block in the database, which stops SharePoint sites from loading.
Any help please?

SP 2010 and 2013 support a max of 50,000 versions. Accessing more than 5000 items at a time causes SQL Server to escalate from row locks to table locks, which will generally bring SharePoint to a stop. You will need to write code that can bring back subsets
of the data, and the only approach I can think of is a CAML query. But, I can't find any examples of working with versions using CAML.
You could just change the Throttling settings in Central Admin from the default of 5000 to 50000 and then run your code during off hours.

List box automatic open

I see with the new 7.0.5 update, that the previous bug of allowing custom text entry has been fixed. I was curious if there is a way to automatically open the list box when a user tabs to it just for the sake of keeping them aware of where they are on the form. Thanks.

It's rather complicated with the ifs.
I see that your list should have the values equal to the block-names, and the labels that suit you best.
So, for instance, on the when-list-change trigger (or on a when-button-pressed trigger) you may have:
go_block(:your_block.your_list_item);
where your_block is the block where the list-item is.
Haven't done this actually, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work.
That's because I've done something like the following:
open_form(:your_block.your_list_item, activate, session);
This may be even better, for you may have even hundreds of forms, while you can't possibly have hundreds of canvases in a single form.

Open a SharePoint List item in Modal Pop up in SP 2013 fails after you filter or sort the list

Sorry for the long post. This has been killing me. I had this script working perfectly fine in SharePoint 2010 (online) and basically i have a source custom list (list A) with a hyperlink column and a Destination List with say title and my name.
Source List (list A) looks like this with these 2 columns
Title Test Link
A Link 1
B Link 2
C Link 3
Each of these links link to the actual list item in the destination list, so for example, link 1 is/sites/2013DevSite/Lists/Destination%20List/EditForm.aspx?ID=1
So basically i want anytime the Link are clicked that point to another list's item to open in a modal dialog and the script below worked perfectly fine in SharePoint 2010 (online)
<script language="javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language ="javascript" type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('a[href*="EditForm.aspx"]').each(function (i, e) {
// Store the A tag's current href in a variable
var currentHref = jQuery(e).attr('href');
jQuery(e).attr({
'href': 'javascript:void(0);',
// Use the stored href as argument for the ShowInModal functions parameter.
'onclick': 'ShowInModal("' + currentHref + '");'
function ShowInModal(href) {
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog({title: "Edit Item", url: href});
</script>
All it does is find the href tags for that particular value Editform.aspx and the pop modal works in SP 2010 online. So the site page is designed in such a way there is a content editor web part with the reference to this javascript file and the sharepoint
list is right beneath it and this worked perfectly opening in modal windows in SP 2010.
Since migration to 2013, this is what exactly happens
1.) when you come to the site page, the modal works,
2.) If you filter or sort on say the Title or Test Link column in Source list (lets say you select the Value A), the script does not fire at all, if i hover over the hyperlink, the who hyperlink is shown and does not open the hyperlink in the modal pop up.
- This is important because i want to be able to sort on a particular item...
Could someone please let me know what am i doing wrong and why is this not working when i sort the list. Thanks for all the help.
Once again i am trying to open a sharepoint list item in Sharepoint 2013 from another list using Jquery

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

How to send a list item value to URL to open data related to item value

Hi,
Iam using Apex4.0 and iam facing some problem. Iam unable to send selected list item value to the url specified in the HTMl region.
Here i want to open the data related to list item value in other page.
List item - :Familyp
i want to pass this selected value to the url and when ever user selected the list item and clicks on the url, then it should display the item value related data in new page.
I tried with &FamilyP in url but it's not working. Any one help me plz.
Regards
Vamsi.Tata

Is it a normal Select list or Multi Select list?
If you have select list that allows you to select multiple options then you cannot pass it through URL. Multi-select /Shuttle keep colon separated list in the item, and this confuses Apex because the Apex URL uses colons for a different purpose. No escaping or URL encoding will help.
If it is normal select list that allows selection of only one option then you can pass through the url. Unless of course the data has a colon in it.
For multi-select, and when the value contains colon, the only way is to save the value in session state, same page item or any other place like Application Item, and then reference it at the other end. Never pass through the URL.

How to Create a Dynamic http address that opens the Explorer Window for a List Item When a Button Is Clicked--Currently Trying to Make this Work with Javascript

I have created a button (via Content Editor) that uses JavaScript to open the Attachments folder of a list item in the Explorer Window in SharePoint 2010. The purpose is to have drag and drop functionality for each list item, having multiple attachments.
The button works but opens the "Attachments" folder containing all of the other folders for each list item (one folder per item). It seems that when you add an attachment to a list item, SharePoint numbers the folder based on the item's ID. What
I'm trying to do is take the JavaScript I have and have it run when a button is clicked in a custom form. When it runs, I'm trying to get it to open the "specific" folder for the list item. I have had success creating a hyperlink in the list that
does this; however, the link WILL NOT work until I use the Content Editor created button that runs JavaScript, that prompts me to click OK to my profile certificate, and then opens the Attachment folder. After that occurs, I can use my hyperlinks without issue
because I'm no longer prompted to click OK for my cert.
So I'm trying to take the JavaScript I have and place it in a list item form (custom form) and have it run when a form button is clicked. The problem is I have very little knowledge of JavaScript (did I mention little?) and
"don't know how to take the "http:" address I have in the script and append to it the list item ID, according to the record I have open."
So that for any record I open, the script will grab the corresponding record ID (or list item ID) and append it.
Here's the script I'm working with (which I didn't create but am grateful for):
<style>
.httpFolder {behavior:url(#default#httpFolder);}
</style>
<script text = "javascript">
function fnOpenFolderView(){
oDAV.navigateFrame("https://server/collection/site/subsite/Lists/Sublist/Attachments","_self");
</script>
<div id = "oDAV" class = "httpFolder"/>
<input type = "button" value = "Open Attachment Folder" onclick = "fnOpenFolderView()"/>
The above script, in the Content Editor, creates a button that opens the Attachments folder for the corresponding SharePoint list.

Hello Thriggle,
Thank you for pointing that out. I appended your "GetUrlKeyValue" to the end and it worked. That said, I noticed it doesn't run as smoothly as when I simply click on the Content Editor button I created that resides on the SharePoint List
ASPX page (not the form). The Content Editor button has the same code, minus the "GetUrlKeyValue". I click it; I get prompted to choose my cert; it opens right up.
Now go to the ASPX Display form where I dump the code in a table cell. Button appears in cell; I click it; wait; wait; I get prompted for cert; it opens. Do I need some sort of "throttle" for the JavaScript? For instance, I thought before running
JavaScript, you reference the library first. This code doesn't do that. I'm wondering if there's something more I need to make this run smoothly. Thank you both for getting me this far.

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

See:

*1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
For links opened via JavaScript you can look at this pref:
