Open Edit form directly when list item is clicked in Sharepoint 2013 list

Hi,
I have a list web part, wherein the user clicks the item it should open in the Edit form directly. various forum i checked was for SharePoint 2010, as we do not have design mode in SharePoint designer 2013, I am unable to do.. I know
if I the change the form type from default page to edit page, it will work, but not sure about how to go ahead. Could anyone help me to achieve this please....

Sunitha,
You can do this with some jQuery and JavaScript. Look at this post:
http://brandonatkinson.blogspot.com/2013/11/open-sharepoint-2013-list-items.html
Basically, add a Script Editor Web Part to the page and include this snippet:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
// Change all display form links to edit form links
$('.ms-vb a[href*="listform.aspx"]').each(function(){
var link = $(this).attr('href');
link = link.replace("PageType=4", "PageType=6");
$(this).attr('href', link);
</script>

Workflow not triggering when changing Item-level Permissions in Sharepoint 2013 list

Scenario:
We have a custom list in Sharepoint 2013 that we use for Case Management. We have a workflow that triggers on a created item generated from an email. The user then gets a reply with a link to his own case.
I want the users only to be able to see their own cases and no one elses. When I change this under
Advanced Settings under List Settings and
Item-level Permissions and set them to Read items that were created by the user
and Create items and edit items that were created by the user
the workflow doesn´t trigger.
How can I resolve this? I've tried every possible out-of-the-box permissions but with no result. Help!
Thanks in advance!
// Browncreek

When you're testing , remember you cant trigger declarative workflow from the System Account - you need a general user account for auto-trigger workflows. Good luck!

Hi, I have the same problem. Except that I am not using an email to create a new item. The item is created by members of a SharePoint group that have Contribute access to the list. When use the same settings i.e.
Read items that were created by the user and Create items and edit items that were created by the user,
the workflow does not trigger. If I set it back to Real all items and Create
and Edit all items, it triggers the workflow.
Please help me resolve as I have rolled this out to pilot users and am having this trouble.
Thanks,

Get list items using spservices for sharepoint 2013

Hi,
I have a requirement like below.
I have 2 sharepoint custom list with some columns.
List1:listA
List2:listB
Now when i open the listB new item form i want some of the field values from listA should auto populate in Textboxes of listB new form.
Is there any ways to implement this?
Regards,
Poovi

Hi Poovi,
You can achieve this using jQuery to get the SharePoint list items. Refer the below articles. It has explained how to get list items using jQuery and auto populate a text-box from a list item as a source.
You can put this code in list forms through SharePoint Designer. The articles explain about auto populating text box of web part but similarly you can implement it for list form, because nevertheless the text boxes are same.

Uploading multiple documents into sharepoint list item with REST in sharepoint 2013 using content editor web part :

hi ,
i am trying to upload multiple document files into sharepoint list item. I followed below link for implementaion.
http://techfindings-prem.blogspot.in/search/label/jquery.multifilejs
It was working for sharepoint hosted app.
This complete code is written within content edito web part.
It was working when i was in root site collection with below change (hard coded the root level url) in code in "UploadFile" function.
var scriptbase = "http://servername" + "/_layouts/15/";
console.log(' File size:' + bytes.length);
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", function () {
var createitem = new SP.RequestExecutor("http://servername");
createitem.executeAsync({
url: "http://servername/sites/cpg/" + "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('SalesRecord')/items(" + attachmentitemid + ")/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='"
+ fileName + "')",
method: "POST",
binaryStringRequestBody: true,
body: binary,
success: fsucc,
error: ferr,
state: "Update"
function fsucc(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(data + ' uploaded successfully');
deferred.resolve(data);
function ferr(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(fileName + "not uploaded error");
deferred.reject(data);
But the issue came in picture when i was working with the other site collection instead of root one. The url was like below.
"http://servername/sites/cpg/". This time i need to be there within "cpg" site collection.
Now if i hard code the url as i did above my code gets break here while come to below line
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", function () {
I am getting error when i used below code:
var scriptbase = "http://servername" + "/_layouts/15/";
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", function () {
var createitem = new SP.RequestExecutor("http://servername");
createitem.executeAsync({
url: "http://servername/sites/cpg/" + "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('SalesRecord')/items(" + attachmentitemid + ")/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='"
+ fileName + "')",
method: "POST",
binaryStringRequestBody: true,
body: binary,
success: fsucc,
error: ferr,
state: "Update"
function fsucc(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(data + ' uploaded successfully');
deferred.resolve(data);
function ferr(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(fileName + "not uploaded error");
deferred.reject(data);
Please hekp in this case. This complete code is written within content edito web part.

Sanjay Joshi

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you have an issue about upload multiple documents files into library vai REST API.
As you have said, you have used the hard code url in your code.
How about use the _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl method to get the url?
I have used this method to get the url, then use the code in the article you have pasted within a content editor web part to upload the files.
You can replace the hard code url with the _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl method, then check whether it works.
Thanks,

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:

Sharepoint 2013 list view quick edit does not work with out remote API permissions

sharepoint 2013 list view quick edit does not work with out remote API permissions.
When I give Use Remote Interfaces - Use SOAP, Web DAV, the Client Object Model or SharePoint Designer interfaces to access the Web site it works which is not an ideal situation..
MCTS Sharepoint 2010, MCAD dotnet, MCPDEA, SharePoint Lead

This is true. If you use Fiddler to watch the requests from the list view quick edit you can see CSOM calls. For example when changing a value in a cell, when you tab out you will see the SetFieldValue and Update method calls on the list item.

SharePoint 2013 List - Multiple Data Types in the Same List

In the same SharePoint 2013 list in Data Sheet View, I want to have one column where my end users enter inputs for KPIs. There are 3 groups of KPIs (A, B and C) and they each have different data types (A-string, B-decimal, C-percentage) and I want to be
able to base their input options off of the KPI type
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can leverage my parent-child relationships so when an end user...
1. Picks KPI type A, they can select from a choice filed (Green, Yellow, Red)
2. Picks KPI Type B, they can enter a decimal (-1.000 to 2.000)
3. Picks KPI Type C, they can enter a percentage (-100.00% to 100.00%
I'm using if I want to keep this in one list, one column and in data sheet view that the out of the box solutions won't meet my requirements. I was looking at some solutions from Bamboo (Lookup Selector Column) but don't think that applies here.
Thanks!
Johnny

Hi Johnny, you can accomplish this using cascading lookups in InfoPath if that program is available to you. Otherwise, if you want a 3rd party product, we use the Kwiz cascading lookup and it's worked wonders for us:

Note: I have no relationship with Kwiz, just vouching for the product.

Unable to get the SharePoint 2013 List names using Client object model for the input URL

Please can you help with this issue.
We are not able to get the SharePoint 2013 List names using Client object model for the input URL.
What we need is to use default credentials to authenticate user to get only those list which he has access to.
clientContext.Credentials = Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
But in this case we are getting error saying ‘The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.’
Instead of passing Default Credentials, if we pass the User credentials using:
clientContext.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential("Administrator", "password", "contoso")
It authenticates the user and works fine. Since we are developing a web part, it would not be possible to pass the user credentials. Also, the sample source code works perfectly fine on the SharePoint 2010 environment. We need to get the same functionality
working for SharePoint 2013.
We are also facing the same issue while authenticating PSI(Project Server Interface) Web services for Project Server 2013.
Can you please let us know how we can overcome the above issue? Please let us know if you need any further information from our end on the same.
Sample code is here: http://www.projectsolution.com/Data/Support/MS/SharePointTestApplication.zip
Regards, PJ Mistry (Email: [email protected] | Web: http://www.projectsolution.co.uk | Blog: EPMGuy.com)

Hi Mistry,
I sure that CSOM will authenticate without passing the
"clientContext.Credentials = Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials" by default. It will take the current login user credentials by default. For more details about the CSOM operations refer the below link.

How do I pull SharePoint 2013 list data using a SQL Query

I have been asked to write a sql query to pull data from a SharePoint 2013 List.it needs to return all the columns
Basically a Select all from the specific SharePoint list Database
I do have the list GUID ID. But not sure which SQL Table or Database to look in for list data.. the site and the list is in our main SharePoint site collection.
the query only needs to be saved in SQL server

I know it isn't support but sometimes you have to share data with other programs....
I'm stuck.. I was able to get this far...
SELECT * FROM dbo.Lists
where tp_Title ='List Name'
how do I pull the columns of the list?
I think I still need the specific list not just the master list dbo....
those two links do not work for SQL server and SharePoint 2013

How to have profile thumbnails image appear in a SharePoint 2013 list?

Hello,
I am not using MySites, but have a SharePoint 2013 list with profiles in them. They were imported from Active Directory, where I do have thumbnail images for each profile. I am using SharePoint 2013. How would I get these images from AD
into the SharePoint list? I have the attribute setup in User Profiles Synchronization, but the images did not show up. I followed these steps in this posting, but I did not do the PowerShell step, since I am not using MySites.

Power Pivot 2013 Using SharePoint 2013 List as Source Data

Background: On a SharePoint 2013 site, there are lists that have the exact same columns but due to their size I had to create a different list for each year.
These are essentially my data lists or tables that end users enter data into. These lists have look up columns in them, referencing columns from look up lists or tables located on the same site.
Goals:
1) Create a Power Pivot Gallery on SharePoint 2013 that is able to leverage the "manage data refresh" feature using the SharePoint 2013 List data that is on the same SharePoint 2013 site.
2) Combine all the data lists/tables into one table once in Power Pivot 2013. The Look Up lists/tables will remain separate.
Challenge: Being able to merge or do a union query to the "data lists" and still maintain the ability to leverage the "manage data refresh" feature.
This is a tactical, quick fix solution, and I
cannot use SQL Server and am operating under the assumption that I do not have Access Services 2013 as an option.
Failed Attempt #1: What I already tried was linking the lists to an Access 2013 database and did a Union query from Power Pivot which merged the data from the different data tables
as I wanted it to. Then I uploaded that Access Database to a document library on that same site, thinking that I could maintain the ability to leverage the "manage data refresh" feature but I was wrong.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers, Johnny
Johnny

You can connect to SharePoint Lists using Power Query (and of course Union multiple Lists and more using Pwer Query) - but Automatic refresh would not work with SharePoint. Power BI (Cloud service) allows auto refresh of Power Query, but not on SharePoint.
Hopefully some day soon.

Issue in adding new items to a O365 SharePoint Online List having lookup columns (Client Object Model)

I have two Lists i.e. Publisher and Products in my SharePoint Online site. They are having the following structures:
1. Publisher:
Publisher (Single line of txt)
     A1
     A2
     A3
     A4
     A5
     A6

But I'm getting the following error on running the above code "Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only."
Can anybody please help me out?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update data to look up field.
I have a test about updating look up field using Client Object Model in my environment. lookup field will accept an array to set the field value.
Here is the code snippet:
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext("http://sp2013sps/sites/test/");
if (ctx != null)
List list = ctx.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("List3");
ListItem itemToUpdate = list.GetItemById(1);
ctx.Load(itemToUpdate);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
FieldLookupValue newLookUpField = new FieldLookupValue();
newLookUpField.LookupId = 3;
FieldLookupValue newLookUpField1 = new FieldLookupValue();
newLookUpField1.LookupId = 4;
FieldLookupValue[] newarr = { newLookUpField, newLookUpField1 };
itemToUpdate["lookup"] = newarr;
itemToUpdate.Update();
ctx.Load(itemToUpdate);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
Best regards

How to force safari to open a new window when dock icon is clicked

If Safari is already running on my MacBook Yosemite, and I click on the Safari icon in the dock, the Safari window is brought forward. The behavior I want is whenever I click the safari icon on the dock, is that a new safari browser window is opened. I don't see this option in preferences (or any keyboard mouse combination) that would make the dock icon open a new browser window. (an option is available for new windows if you click on a hyperlink, but not if you click on the dock icon) .
p.s. And I don't want to first have to place focus on the current running safari and then click File New...too many steps when all I want is a new browser window
Thanks in advance

Hi css,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to click on Safari in your Dock and have it open a new Safari Window. As you said in your post, clicking on Safari in the Dock brings the Safari window forward. There are a couple of possibilities to help resolve this situation. You can control-click (right click if enabled) on Safari in your Dock which will give you the option to open a new window. You can also click and hold on Safari, otherwise known as Press, to display these same options.
Mac OS X: Additional features of the Dock - Apple Support
Mouse clicks and key combinations for the Dock
Control-click
Reveals contextual menu for item. Menu choices vary per application or file. When used on Dock separator, it reveals Dock preferences. There you can turn magnification and hiding on or off, change the position of the Dock on screen, and change the minimization effect. Choose Dock Preferences to see more options.

Deleting a contact list item through Powershell in sharepoint 2010 synced with outlook 2010, does not delete the item from outlook.

hi All,
I have a requirement for updating the contact list from CSV file and updating/ adding and deleting the changes in the SharePoint list using PowerShell script. List is also synced with outlook.
The problem arises, when we delete an item from the list using PS, the item (which was earlier synced with outlook) is not getting deleted from outlook.
Strange behavior : when we perform the same deletion operation manually from the SharePoint UI, every thing works fine as required.
Please refer the below PS
#Adding the records from SharePoint not in CSV file
if($flag -ne 1)
Get-Member -InputObject $csvRow -MemberType NoteProperty | ForEach-Object {
$property = $_.Name
$newItem.set_Item($property, $csvRow.$property)
$newItem.Update()
#Deleting the records from SharePoint not in CSV file
CreatePSLog "Deleting the records from SharePoint not in CSV file"
foreach($itm in $List.items)
$del = 0
$items | ForEach-Object {
if($itm["SAP Ansprechpartnernr"] -eq $_."SAP Ansprechpartnernr")
$del++;
if(!$del)
$List.GetItemById($itm.Id).Delete()
$List.Update();
$Web.Update();
many thanks in advance, Please suggest as I am completly stuck on this :(
Regards, Arun kumar

Hi Kumar,
Please remove the codeline $List.Update();, then run your code again, it works for me.
You may need to firstly delete the synced contacts list within Outlook to remove those undeleted accounts, then re-connect the SharePoint contacts list to outlook, then run your modified Powershell code.
Thanks
