Queries about list item display

Hi Friends,
I have a list and library and I would like to:
Order/sort items in a library so that a particular item is always on top?
How to display a few items on the top of the list. Is it possible that these positions don’t change despite adding numerous items?
Please suggest using OOTB or by designer

Hi Chandra,
You can use List views to get these done. While creating list views, you can specify which are columns that are required to be shown, and sort items or even you can grouping to group based on item.
However, if you want to keep a particular item always on top would be difficult using OOTB or by Designer. Another method you can use is Content Query webpart.
Use Data View in SPD or use filters and conditional formating as per your requirement,
here are some reference -

List item display in Oracle forms 10g

hi,
I have created the list item with pop-list in forms.When i retrieve the data using record group in the list item ,i need to display two column data in single list item i.e emp id , emp name .
select emp_id,emp_name from emp where mgr_id = 100;
i tried this query in record group but its coming emp id only, not name .
Can u tell the solution as soon as possible

Hi,
In List Item, the First column will show in the list, and the Second column will be stored. To show both columns in list, u have to concatenate both fields and make it as first column. And i think you have to save the EMP_CODE, not EMP_NAME in database.
So the record group will be
SELECT EMP_ID || ' - ' || EMP_NAME EMP_NAME, EMP_ID FROM EMP WHERE MGR_ID = 100; Or you can use LOV to display multiple columns.

Manu.

Populating List Item From View

I have two data blocks in my form, one named USERS which contains updateable fields to a table from the view and another data block called CONTROL which are all list items that currently populate on a WHEN-MOUSE-CLICK trigger. The list items work as expected for the WHEN-MOUSE-CLICK trigger. However, my problem is trying to populate the list items based on a selection previously chosen and saved to the table (yes, the values are in the table and are selectable through the view). I have a seperate population for this occurrance in the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE at the form level, as well as on KEY-SCRUP, KEY-SCRDOWN, WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE, and POST-QUERY at the USERS data block level. The only way the list items populate on a previously chosen and saved value is if you choose (WHEN-MOUSE-CLICK trigger) the list of values and save. From then on, as I scroll through the data retrieved in the USERS data block the corresponding data in the users view shows up in the CONTROL block list items. How do I get my form to initially show the corresponding list item data on form load when it is already in a WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE and POST-QUERY trigger on form load?
Thanks in advance for any clue to point me in the right direction.

The form is for editing a current student information system user who we will be extracting data for an OBIEE IDM import. All of the fields displayed in the OBIEE_USERS data block can be edited. For the CONTROL block list items I would like them to display the current value chosen for the user displayed in the OBIEE_USERS data block. When the CONTROL block list items are clicked on then a list of values are displayed in which the logged in form user can chose another value which ultimately changes the choice for the user displayed in the OBIEE_USERS data block. This all works fine in my current form except the list items do not display the current user selected in the OBIEE_USERS data block's saved value until the list item is selected, a value chosen, and a save is committed to the table tied to the OBIEE_USERS data block. From that point I can scroll through the OBIEE_USERS block and the list item displays the correct value for the selected user, if there are values (some users have NULL values). I have currently worked around this issue by displaying the fields in the OBIEE_USERS block and only use the list items for the changing selection. I did this because I needed a proof of concept for the pilot roll-out and could no longer wait to figure this issue out (it should be more simple it seems). I am still interested in resolving this as I feel it is a great functionality for the form.

Spotlight lists items and shows preview images. BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine: e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
Can I make Spotlight show the path?

Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window. Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens.

Retrieve list items from the textbox text value and display the dropdownlist item for that particular list item

hi,
I have created a custom list in my sharepoint :
List1 name: employeedepartment -
Title empdepartment
A D1
B D2
C D3
List2 name: employeedetails
emptitle empname empdepartment(lookup) --> from the list "employeedepartment"
x Ram D1
y Robert D2
z Rahim D3
My task is to create a custom webpart that will be for searching this employee details by entering emptitle
For this, i have created a visual webpart using visual studio 2010, my webpart will be like this:
emptitle ---> TextBox1 Button1--> Text property : Search
empname---> TextBox2
empdepartment--> DropDownList1
For this, i wrote the code as follows:
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
using (SPSite mysite = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url))
using (SPWeb myweb = mysite.OpenWeb())
SPList mylist = myweb.Lists["employeedetails"];
SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
query.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Title'/><Value Type='Text'>" + TextBox1.Text.ToString() + "</Value></Eq></Where>";
SPListItemCollection myitems = mylist.GetItems(query);
if (myitems.Count > 0)
foreach (SPListItem item in myitems)
string a1 = Convert.ToString(item["empname"]);
string a2 = Convert.ToString(item["empdepartment"]);
TextBox2.Text = a1; // displaying properly
//DropDownList3.SelectedIndex = 1;
It is showing the list item in textbox according to the item entered in the textbox1... But I am stuck to show in the dropdown list.
Suppose, if i enter X in textbox and click on search, then dropdownlist need to show D1,
for Y --> D2 and for Z-> D3... like that.
What code do i need to write in the button_click to show this...
Please don't give any links...i just want code in continuation to my code.

Hi,
Since you have got the data you want with the help of SharePoint Object Model, then you can focus on how to populate values and set an option selected in the Drop Down List.
With the retrieved data, you can populate them into the Drop Down List firstly, then set a specific option selected.
Here is a link will show how to populate DropDownList control:
http://www.dotnetfunda.com/articles/show/30/several-ways-to-populate-dropdownlist-controls
Another link about select an item in DropDownList:

I need any items added to a wish list to display alphabetically rather than randomly?

I need any items added to a wish list to display alphabetically rather than randomly?

If I want to carve off part of a library, I presume the way to do this is to make a copy of the library using PLM then go into iPhoto and delete what I don't want. The result is the carved off portion.
You don't need Library Manager to delete the portion you don't want.
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
If I want to merge two libraries, PLM implies that it will do this but will the Faces be merged too?
I believe so.

List view item display time is taking too much

Hi,
I am working in a sharepoint2013 project. In our project , list view item display time is taking too much in IE8 sp2013 64 bit environment. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Nabhendu

Hi Nabhendu,
We had something similar with our SP2013 and IE8 32-bit. It seems that IE8 was in Compatible mode which make it IE7, which is unsupported by SP2013 due to HTML5.
Issue : List view especially datasheet view which has been moved from ActiveX to HTML5 had very slow response on SP2013 and IE8 32-bit.
Resolution : Try Chrome and see if its CSS/Masterpage or SP2013 issues performance issue.
We deployed masterpage and css which was used in our SP2007 site with minor changes, but later we figured out that we need to make major changes in order to work with IE8 and SP2013.
Try Indexing Columns.
check how many look up columns are used.
Hopefully that may help you..
Thanks,
Parth

okk..well still i don't know the purpose of the form on which you are working why not the database block for emp?..but the requirement you are asking can be done through following code...
Trigger - WHEN-LIST-CHANGED
DECLARE
CURSOR F_Cur IS
    SELECT ename
    FROM emp
    WHERE deptno = :list_item_name;
BEGIN
GO_BLOCK('BLOCK3');
FIRST_RECORD;
CLEAR_BLOCK;
FOR G_CUR IN F_CUR LOOP
    :block3.item_name:=G_CUR.ename;
    NEXT_RECORD;
END LOOP;
FIRST_RECORD;
END;
Note: in the BLOCK3 there should be one item navigable by cursor. I mean if block3 is having only one item which is name item and it is display item then GO_BLOCK built-in will not work. So, you will need to create one more in block3 or make that name item as text item and set update_allowed to NO from the items' property.

How to download list item attachment from display.aspx

Im uploading documents
to list item in list by
using file upload control. Now I should download that file. I can able to insert documents into list item in attachment column which is predefined but am how can I download the attachments by clicking on the link in display.aspx.
I have written this for uploadFile controller.
SPSite site = SPContext.Current.Site;
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
SPList list = web.Lists["list2"];
//SPListItem itemId = list.GetItemById(5);
int itemId=3;
SPListItem newItem = list.GetItemById(itemId);

fileStream.Close();
SPAttachmentCollection attachments = newItem.Attachments;
string fileName = Path.GetFileName(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName);
attachments.Add(fileName, contents);
newItem["CLMSAttachments"] = fileName;
newItem.Update();
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
It is your browser that decides to download/open the file.
If you have compatible client software for the file (word for docx) your computer will by default automatically try to open it.
But we can force the download. You have to develop a handler/aspx page that will just handle the file download and you have to override the http header "content-disposition" to "attachment;filename=yourfilename"
Here a sample :
var fileName = "myfile.sql";
var r = context.Response;
r.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName);
r.ContentType = "text/plain";
r.WriteFile(context.Server.MapPath(fileName));
Hope that will help you

Switch List Menu in G/L & Vendor Line Item Display

Hi Dear All Experts,
I've 2 problems.
The first one is in the Vendor line item display program.
copied RFITEMAP and create custom program and then I create new structure (like FAGLPOSX) to show extra fields. (eg. Vendor, User)
New extra fields are shown when i execute but if I click switch menu from the setting menu, it is shown by the old fields not including new fields.
The second one is in the GL Line Item display program.
Even the Switch List menu is enable in the Vendor Line Item display custom program without changing anything for gui status, the switch list menu in my new custom program is disable.(copied from fagl_account_items_gl).
Thks all in advance..
TRA

the second question is now solved.
Include ZFAGL_ACCOUNT_ITEMS_DEF (C_REPID_GL LIKE SY-REPID VALUE 'FAGL_ACCOUNT_ITEMS_GL') I put custom program name in this field.
When I changed to std program name, the switch list menu is enable..
Only the first question is left..
Please let me know is there any way to solve...
Best Regards

Reading text file and display in the selectOnechoice list item In ADF.

Hi,
I have a requirement to read the text field which have list of strings and that string display in the SelectOneChoice List item component on page load.
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.2.3 version.
Any suggestion will highly appreciated..
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Google will produce you with hints on how to read content of a file from Java (ideally the file uses some delimiter). Then in a managed bean, you read the file and save its content in a list of SelectItem. So your managed bean should have the following property and setter/getter pairs
ArrayList<SelectItem> listFromFile = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
public void setListFromFile(ArrayList l){ //you don't need this }
public ArrayList<SelectItem> getListFromFile(){
   //read file content and iterate over the file list entries
for(i=0, i < fileContent.length, ++i){
     SelectItem si = new SelectItem();
     si.setValue(... the value to update the list of value with ...);
     si.setLabel("... the label to show in the list ...");
     listFromFile.add(si);
return listFromFile;
}The af:selectOneChoice component should look as follows
<af:selectOneChoice id=".." value="...attribute to update with selection ..." ...>
   <f:selectItems value="#{managedBean.listFromFile}"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>Frank
