Rich text toolbar missing on a survey list in Sharepoint 2010

Hi ,
I created a Survey list in SP 2010 and added a 'Content Editor' webpart to it. The problem is that there is
no Ribbon available in the Survey List in SP 2010. (While it is available in the a normal list) Why? Is it the default functionality of Sharepoint 2010?
How can I add a rich text toolbar so that while editing the content webpart I can format the text. Is it possible?

Hi Yasir,
This behavior is by design. When you add a content editor web part on survey list page, you can only add the plain text.
Have a try to add a rich text control
InputFormTextBox to the overview.aspx page in SharePoint Designer, add the following code to code behind.
<SharePoint:InputFormTextBoxRows="10"MaxLength="1000"id="txtMyRichTextBox"runat="server"RichText="true"RichTextMode="FullHtml"TextMode="MultiLine"
Height="400px"Width="250px"></SharePoint:InputFormTextBox>
For more information, see

Puil, I decided to go with your idea, but when trying to connect to the data source at listdata.svc using the add data connection wizard, at the very end upon clicking finish I get an error "System.Exception", this is what shows up in my error list.

How to make users to select the date from calendar control my making the date field read only in date time control in external list in sharepoint 2010

How to make users to select the date from calendar control only, by my making the date text field read only (don't want to let users type the date) in date time control in external list in sharepoint 2010. I am looking for a solution which can
be done through sharepoint desginer / out of the box.

Congratulate you got the solution by yourself. I am new to a
WinForms calendar component, I feel so helpless on many problems even I'd read many tutorials. This question on the
calendar date selection did me a great favor. Cheers.

How to Create Custom List in SharePoint 2010 Programmatically ?

Hi,
i have tried the following way,
http://devendra-sharepoint.blogspot.in/2012/01/creating-list-programatically-in_30.html
But i am not able to create list.
Becuase i am getting the following error.
'Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb' does not contain a definition for 'EnsureList' and no extension method 'EnsureList' accepting a first argument of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Please advice.
Thanks,
Aasai

Hi,
You can use list.Fields.Add() to add column in list. See below blog:
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/3764/create-sharepoint-list-programmatically.aspx
Use this to delete list:
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/54db21/delete-list-in-sharepoint-2010-programmatically-using-vs-201/
See this for remove user/group from list:

Ribon mising when first opening a list in Sharepoint 2010

Hello.
When opening a list in SharePoint 2010, I do not get the ribbon. If I click on a list item, the ribbon appears. Then I can come back to the original task I had in mind.
Can you advise how to fix it so that the ribbon always appear when loading a list?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks dear Alex,
Probably... I am not the programmer, but the user. The programmer told me that it was impossible to have the ribbon available unless an item of the list is clicked on first, so I wanted to investigate if that is true and if there is a way around it. Does
not seem natural to have to open an item on the list before creating a new one.

Uploading Multiple Documents To a List Item sharepoint 2010

hi Guys ,
Is there a way we can enable (out of the box )Uploading Multiple Documents To a List Item sharepoint 2010 ?
cheers

No, There is no OOB way to do the same you have to build a custom Page/Control OR customise OOB Form to attache multiple files and that will be through integration of ajax based control (multiple file uploader.)
the other way to do the same is provision a custom field. we have done this for our many clients.
Hi, I also encountered the same problem, could u pls provide detailed information by a custom field?

How to raise mail notification when ever the new event is added to calendar list in sharepoint 2010?

Hi experts, I need guidance or the way how we can raise mail,
When ever the new item is added / updated / deleted / cancelled to a calendar list in SharePoint 2010.
Shall we achieve it through using SharePoint designer 2010.
If its help to fix the requirement.
Thanks and Regards,
Dhayanand Kalimidi

>I need to send the mail before 1 week from the date
This is different requirement. Initially you said you want send email when item is added / updated / deleted in list. For this you can use default alert to send instant email as suggested before.
Now if you want to send reminder email then you can use designer WF and calculate the due date by using variable. Refer this link for your ref:
http://mysharepointchronicles.wordpress.com/2012/11/05/sharepoint-list-with-workflow-email-reminder-set-to-send-30-days-from-created-date/

Remember event receiver can not send reminder email or scheduled email so for this either use designer WF or create timer job.
Hope it could help

Cannot create list in SharePoint 2010 using Client Object Model

I am trying to utilize SharePoint 2010 Client Object Model to create a List based on a custom template. Here's my code:
public void MakeList(string title, string listTemplateGUID, int localeIdentifier)
string message;
string listUrl;
List newList;
Guid template;
ListCreationInformation listInfo;
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListCollection lists;
try
listUrl = title.Replace(spaceChar, string.Empty);
template = GetListTemplate((uint)localeIdentifier, listTemplateGUID);
listInfo = new ListCreationInformation();
listInfo.Url = listUrl;
listInfo.Title = title;
listInfo.Description = string.Empty;
listInfo.TemplateFeatureId = template;
listInfo.QuickLaunchOption = QuickLaunchOptions.On;
clientContext.Load(site);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
lists = site.Lists;
clientContext.Load(lists);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
newList = lists.Add(listInfo);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
catch (ServerException ex)
Now, this particular part, newList = lists.Add(listInfo); clientContext.ExecuteQuery();, the one that is supposed to create the actual list, throws an exception:
Message: Cannot complete this action. Please try again.
ServerErrorCode: 2130239231
ServerErrorTypeName: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException
Could anyone please help me realize what am I doing wrong? Thanks.

I've made progress - well, at least to some extent. The previous message related to the "Invalid file name" is not appearing any more. I now realize that it is necessary to specify feature ID, list template kind, as well as custom schema in order
to order SharePoint 2010 to create the document library.
However, there's a new problem which isn't documented on the net almost at all (at least I was unable to find anything): The document library gets created, but I cannot access it. Further inspection showed that the doc lib views are not created. Basically,
the only accessible doc lib page is the document library settings page. Also, I get the server exception with the message:
Server Out Of Memory. There is no memory on the server to run your program. Please contact your administrator with this problem.
Any idea what is causing this issue? Thanks.
Hi Boris
Borenović,
I think I found the reason for this notorious "Server Out Of Memory" error.
(Man, it took 4 hrs of frustrating troubleshooting without any direct hints... very disappointing
MSFT developers :( ).
Anyway,
All the "Form" elements at the bottom need to have SetupPath="pages\form.aspx"
attribute (by default this attrib is missing when you copy the whole List element from inside the stp's manifest.xml file).
Also, just make sure that each "View" element has correct "WebPartZoneID", "SetupPath" and "Url" attribute values otherwise that list/library will
be created successfully but will fail to load when you try to access it (with the VERY helpful "Cannot complete this action, contact administrator" error). Even if you enable stack trace (or check ULS logs) you will find "An unexpected
error has been encountered in this Web Part. Error: A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Page cannot be displayed or imported. The type could not be found or it is not registered as safe." and you will never realize it's because of the
incorrect attributes ("WebPartZoneID", "SetupPath" or "Url" as mentioned above).
Come on Microsoft, you can do better than that?
If the API needs this attrib then why is it missing inside the manifest.xml file when
an STP file generated in the first place?

How to create a custom Contacts list in SharePoint 2010 from accounts already in AD

Hi folks,
Newbie to SharePoint but not to being an Administrator. Problem is that in my new functions I no longer am an Admin.
I have been asked to post contact lists (Excel) on the SharePoint site. (fairly easy to do)
But I though....we already have these people in AD and the GAL
Why can't I just import what I want only and display that in SharePoint.
I assume this is possible?
I do not have SharePoint designer nor any programming experience....so no coding for me.
Running SharePoint 2010 and Outlook 2010
Can anyone guide me or give me info on how to do this?
I do not want everyone in the AD/GAL. Just some specific names with their contact info

How can I change the width of a column in a list of sharepoint 2010 ?

How do I change the column width in sharepoint 2010 so the data displays properly in standard view?
I open the list View in sharepoint designer,and change the width of the <td> ,but ,when I preview ,the column width don't change. what should I do?

While they may auto adjust to what it thinks is a correct width, far too often it allocates way too much room and that causes lists with 4 columns to be much longer than they need to be and without the ability to adjust them, lists look strange.
http://twitpic.com/23ro09/full is an example of the first column having been allocated too much room.

Multiple filters in a drop-down list in SharePoint 2010 browser forms

I am using Infopath forms based on SharePoint 2010 lists. I am trying to filter a drop-down control based on inputs in two previous controls such that it looks up information in a list and returns options where A = A and B = B. This filter works when using
Preview in Infopath 2010, but does not work on the list itself on publishing; it only filters where A = A. The B = B filter is ignored.
1) Is there a workaround I can use so that the browser form respects the filter in the same way the Infopath form does?
or, if not:
2) Is there a way to force SharePoint 2010 to open up "new item" or "edit item" in InfoPath instead of in a browser form?
Thanks.

Thanks for your help!
1) That was my concern. When I googled around, it seemed like it wasn't possible to do filters at all in DLL in browser forms, yet I had one that was working. So I was curious why one worked but two didn't.
2) When I try to publish an InfoPath form from Designer that's based on a SharePoint list, the only option it gives me is to publish to that list, not to a document library.
2a) If I did figure out how to do it, would it still submit the information to the list? I don't want a form library scenario where each list item is its own form based on a single template, I want a list I can also manage with Access.

Hi Everyone,
Greetings!!!
I have a very peculiar question on List validation settings. I want to validate a list item whether user has attached a document to the list item or not? The list item should not be saved until a document is attached to it. Is it possible to perform this

How to Archive a list in sharepoint 2010

Hi
I think large list is the inevitable trend and will be a very common issue faced by everyone. We are a medium business using sharepoint 2010.
For past 3 years, one of our SharePoint lists is over 20000 items.
From my end:
1. I have indexed some important columns and created filtered views but it does not help much.
2. I have increased the list threshold value to 25000( Even though the best practice is 5000).
3. Also, I have set the list template size to 500MB
4. When I try to save the list as a template, SharePoint throws an exception error.
5. I tried working on the code
mentioned in the link
below but it looks complicated for me.
http://spboom.com/sharepoint-development/moving-sharepoint-list-items-to-archive-list/
What I need:
I need to archive old items in the list. After archiving, I might need to refer to the archived items from time to time.
As I'm newbie to SharePoint, it would be great, if someone can elaborate in detail with what can be done.
Again your help in this is much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
SweR

What vesion of SharePoint are you using? If you want to move items across from one list to another (as per your prefered option), something like: -
Create a list template of you list with no content
Recreate it on the same level as the main lis
Create an SPD workflowthat'll copy an item to the new list and delete the original. Make sure it doesn't have a triggering action
Use an Expiration Information Rights Policy to triger the workflow.
Please note that this won't preserve the original author / create metadata as Alex has already said.
