Sharepoint 2010 add/edit form: Insert link from sharepoint disabled

Hello!
I have a list with enhanced rich textbox field. I can click on Insert link, "from addres" is enabled, but "from Sharepoint" is disabled.
Is there a reason why is this button disabled? Field is enhanced rich textbox... Paste button is also disabled.
Thanks

Microsoft says
it is an issue but you can check
design this strange behavior on other occasions:
If we have a Web page in the root
of the site and insert a Web Part content "from SharePoint" will
disabled, but if this same Web Part Page
is in a library "from SharePoint"
is enabled What is the difference? I do not know.
Worse. If we insert the Web Part
to a page in the root of the site is
a list or library that has a link produced by a
workflow, an error as seen in
http://www.danielroot.info/2010_07_01_archive.html
But the link works correctly if the
page is within a library.
Are these design issues also?
Sorry for my English.

Cannot "insert link from km" in WPC

Hi. We have EP 7.0 SPS21 implemented. I am experiencing issues with WPC, in that I am now not able to "insert link from km" when in edit mode inside a paragraph or Advanced paragraph. I goto the path of the .PDF file in KM & select it, but the link is not created. This is now happening after we implemented SPS21.
Please advise.
Kind Regards,
M.

"Edit in Photoshop" link from Lightroom has stopped working.

My "Edit in Photoshop" link from Lightroom has stopped working. If I hit "Cmd E" in Lightroom, Photoshop opens, but the picture doesn't appear. I have LR 5 and PS CC 2014. I recently uninstalled or deleted PS 6 & PS CC (not PS CC 2014). Any suggestions?

Same problem here. I uninstalled Photoshop CS5 and reinstalled. No change. I also tried dumping PS preferences
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky.

Insert Link from Km

Hi Experts,
When I send any document by clicking 'send to' command, I am not getting HTML Editor function
'Insert Link From Km' though the options are selected in the HTML Editor.
Is this a correct functionality?
Regards,
Atul Bhatia

Hi,
When you use 'send to' for a document in KM a HTML editor window with send email opens up.
it contains a html editor with a link displaying the document you want to send. In addition you can also upload and attach a file.
If this does not appear check your KM configuration.

Sharepoint 2010 List Edit Form customization.

Hi All,
we are hiding default Listformwebparts in New & edit forms of a list, and displaying new visual webparts in those pages.
To save the filled data , we have two options .
1. Save button in the visual webpart.(which is working fine)
2. Save button in Ribbon.
2nd option is not triggering the code which we wrote in the save button of visual webpart . how do we call custom button code, while clicking on ribbon save button.
Any suggestions regarding this would be helpful.

How to handle Lookup Field in Add / Edit Forms

I have a list of properties and a photo library where each image has a 'property' column that defines which property it pertains to.
I've customized the DefaultDisplayForm and added a web part to show the images from Photo library related to the selected property. This works because I've "connections" so that filtering takes place (the property list "Provides
Row" to the Photos Web part which obtains 'Filtered Value from' the selected property
While this works fine, I am not sure how to extend this so that
1) Modify the DefaultEditForm so that user can drag / drop additional photos to the Photos List View web part, and have the lookup field be populated automatically.
2) Modify the DefaultAddForm to allow user to drag / drop photos for a new property (using drag drop) and have the lookup field be populated automatically.
3) Modify the DefaultDisplayForm to disallow the user from adding photos using drag / drop (i.e.l to force them to use the Default Edit Form to do this).
I would imagine I need to add some JavaScript snipped that sets the value of the lookup field in each photo being uploaded to the Property selected in the other webpart but I am not sure where I should do that ?
Any guidance appreciated.,

Hi,
As there is no such OOTB feature can meet your requirement, it will need some customization with the REST API and JavaScript to implement the effect of drag and drop and the
auto-populated functionality.
Here is a demo about how to use the HTML file upload control to perform the picture uploading with “drag and drop”:

Add/Edit Form with object

OK, I'm somewhat of a newbie, but I know enough to make me dangerous. Here's my problem.
I have a form that I want to use for both Adding a course and Editing an existing course. I have a Course object. My ideal situation is to check an "action" parameter when the page is loaded. If action == Add, then I would like to instantiate an object with default values, if action == Edit, then get the Course object that corresponds to the CourseID that is also passed in. The form values would be set to Course.getXXX(). That part is pretty basic.
When the form is submitted I want to validate the fields. If they are valid, then update the DB, otherwise, go back to the form with the fields restored to the users input plus error messages. Here's where I am getting tripped up.
First, I would like to save the Course object in the Request scope, so I check that first on the Form page. If a course already exists in the Request scope, then I use that Course object, otherwise I create a new Course object like I described in the first paragraph. The problem is really passing that on to the next page that does the validating. I was told to use a JSP tag and setProp="*" blah blah blah, then call a validate method. The question I have is what happens to Course fields that are set to datatypes such as long or timestamp ??? And what kind of validate method should I write? Should I pass it a long or String? Do I really have to write TWO validation methods for every field I have that isn't a String? What's the most common way to do this? And should I validate BEFORE I try to set properties? Maybe through a static method or something?
The other thought I had was to create a CourseView object in which everything field was a String, then I could validate, then if everything was fine and dandy, I could set or create a new Course object using CourseView and then update the DB. This would mean I would use the CourseView instead of Course for the forms. The problem I have is what's the best way to go about that? I'm not that familiar with abstraction, extending or implementing. What would work best? I would like to have the validation methods with the Course object and just utilize them in CourseView, but I'm sure there are loopholes to that.
Oh, and the other big problem...null values. How do forms treat null, how do validation methods treat nulls and what about objects that require some fields but not others? Or even worse yet, a field that is not required unless another field is not null. There has to be an answer for this already.
Oh yeah, Struts is out of the question for reasons to involved to go into here.
I thank everyone in advance and hope any response help many more people then just I.

Basically lets say I have this:
AddEditForm.jsp
<%@ import com.mycomp.Course, com.mycomp.CourseMgr %>
<%
String action = request.getParameter("action");
Course crs;
if (request.getAttribute("crs") != null){
//if crs exisits in request, then form was submitted and rejected
crs = request.getAttribute("crs");
//otherwise this is the first time the page has been loaded
} else if (action == add){
crs = new Course();
}else if (action == edit){
//course_id is a long
crs = CourseMgr.getCourse(course_id);
%>
<HTML>
<BODY>
<% Custom tag here to display errors from errorMsg hashtable %>
<FORM action="process.jsp">
<input type="text" name="course_id" value="<%=crs.getCourse_id()=%>">
<input type="text" name="status" value="<%=crs.getStatus()=%>">
<input type="text" name="created_by" value="<%=crs.getCreated_by()%>">
<input type="text" name="created_date" value="<%=crs.getCreated_date()%>">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Process.jsp
//Call validation methods and set methods
//If everything validates OK, then call CourseMgr.setCourse(Course crs);
//The question is, do I write the Course class to have all String values
//and then change them to longs before I send to the DB?
//Should I try to validate before I set course_id (my idea)
//or set them and validate before I call setCourse() (someone else's)
//If the later is the case, then the object must be very loose
//and you have to trust that a person is going to call the validation
//method. I would like to not allow sets without validation. The only
//way I see it right now is to have a set for both String and long
//and validations for both. You can still leverage all the code,
//but it still seems stupid. I worked with ColdFusion for a while
//and the loose datatypes were a god send for this kinda thing.
Course.java
import com.mycomp.CourseMgr;
public class Course {
     private long course_id;
     private String status="";
     private String version;
private long created_by;
private Timestamp created_date;
public static Hashtable errorMsg;
     public Course() {
course_id = CourseMgr.getNextCourse_ID();
public long getCourse_id(){
return course_id;
public void setCourse_id(long l){
this.course_id = l;
//I would like to be able to not have to write two sets
//for every long. If the form input is named course_id
//doing a setProp(*) should reflect it.
//But it reflects as a String, doesn't it?
//I also don't know if I should put a try in here.
//A try is part of the validation method and it seems
//redundant. But how do I ensure validation before set?
public void setCourse_id(String s){
this.course_id = Long.parseLong(s);
public boolean validateCourse_id(long vL){
if ( valUtils.isInRange(vL,"Course_id")){
//if it's within a predetirmined range
return true;
}else{
errorMsg.put("course_id","Course ID out of range.");
return false;
//I would love to be able to call only one validation method
//but other objects need to use a long. It's only the
//view that uses Strings all the time. I would like it
//if the request could keep the form field for course_id as
//the type t was meant to be.
public boolean validateCourse_id(String vS){
if ( valUtils.isPositiveLong(vS)){
//if it can be parsedLong and is positive
return validateCourse_id(Long.parseLong(vS));
}else{
errorMsg.put("course_id","Course ID is invalid Long.");
return false;
I really hope this helps. Thank you greatly in advance for any assitance.

Fragment de-linking from form

I have a consistent problem with fragments within my forms de-linking from the document for no reason. I open up an existing form and all that appears for each of my fragments is a purple box. When I go down to the object palette, the link to where the fragment is still exist so Livecycle knows where the fragment is.
The most recent case I had was that I edited on of my fragments. Now, all the fragments that I have on my 200+ forms are delinked. None of the fragments were moved to a different folder or anything.
Does anyone know what would cause this and how I can fix it? Relinking fragments on 200+ forms could take a few hours.

Is the path to the fragment reachable when this happens? Where are the fragments stord in relation to the form?

Linking from one PDF to another: Is there a more efficient way?

Some background first:
We make a large catalog (400pages) in Indesign and it's updated every year. We are a wholesale distributor and our pricing changes so we also make a price list with price ref # that corresponded with #s printed in the main catalogue. Last year we also made this catalog interactive so that a pdf of it could be browsed using links and bookmarks. This is not too difficult using Indesign and making any adjustments in the exported PDF. Here is the part that becomes tedious and is especially so this year:
We also set up links in the main catalog that go to the price list pdf - opening the page with the item's price ref # and prices... Here's my biggest issue - I have not found any way to do this except making links one at a time in Acrobat Pro (and setting various specifications like focus and action and which page (in the price list) to open) Last year this wasn't too bad because we used only one price list. It still took some time to go through and set up 400-500 links individually.
This year we've simplified our linking a little by putting only one link per page but that is still 400 links. And this year I have 6 different price lists (price tiers...) to link to the main catalogue pdf. (That's in the neighborhood of 1200-1500 double clicking the link(button) to open Button Properties, click Actions tab, click Add..."Go to page view" , set link to other pdf page, click edit, change Open in to "New Window" and set Zoom. This isn't a big deal if you only have a few Next, Previous, Home kind of buttons....but it's huge when you have hundreds of links. Surely there's a better way?
Is there anyway in Acrobat or Indesign to more efficiently create and edit hundreds of links from one pdf to another?
If anything is unclear and my question doesn't make sense please ask. I will do my best to help you answer my questions.
Thanks

George, I looked at the article talking about the fdf files and it sounds interesting. I've gathered that I could manipulate the pdf links by making an fdf file and importing that into the PDF, correct?
Now, I wondered - can I export an fdf from the current pdf and then change what is in there and import it back into the pdf. I've tried this (Forms>More Form Options>Manage Form Data>Export Data) and then opened the fdf in a text editor but I see nothing related to the documents links... I assume this is because the links are 'form' data to begin with - but is there away to export something with link data like that described in the article link you provided?
Thanks

How to I activate the "insert link" function which accepts a saved/pasted address for highlighted text in V31.0?

It worked perfectly in prior versions, but now in this version 31.0, when I try to paste a saved URL as a link into highlighted text, it returns this error message: "(No named anchors or headings in this page)", and refuses to accept a paste. Note that this is broken both when clicking on the little blue screen icon as well as when selecting "insert/link" from the function bar. I've looked everywhere for some sort of new configuration option to correct this, but to no avail. What am I missing?

No, that's not the issue. I am writing simple text in an outgoing message, then highlighting a few words (such as "click here to visit the site"), then when I use any of the three methods to assign a link to those highlighted words (Ctrl L, insert/link, or clicking on the little blue screen icon), the normal window opens with a box to insert the URL, but when I try to PASTE such a saved URL into that box, the aforementioned error message appears. Note that I can manually TYPE a URL into that box with no problem, but version 31 will not allow me to PASTE one. I've always successfully used exactly that procedure with prior versions.
Note also that when I insert an image into an outgoing message and try to paste a link to it in the same way, the same error message pops up. That also always worked in prior versions.
Because e-mail is crucial to me, I have now re-installed a prior version (24.6.0) of Thunderbird in which this function works perfectly, so for now, problem solved. But I hope you can fix this so I can use future versions.
BTW ... I'm using Windows 7 Professional on a PC running an Intel 64-bit 7 core processor.

SharePoint Designer 2010 Error occurs when accessing Edit Form: "The server returned a non-specific error when trying to get data from the data source ..." This occurs when using "" in a calculated column in a SharePoint List

I created a calculated column "Expiration Date" in SharePoint 2010 with formula, =IF([Contingent Hire]=TRUE,(Created+90),(IF([Contingent Hire]=FALSE," ")))
This works in the SharePoint list but when I go to edit the Edit Form in Designer. I get the error specified in the title of this post. I'm trying to make it so the Expiration Date is blank when another column, "Contingent Hire" (a YES/No
column) is FALSE.
The Edit Form is essentially a DataViewWebpart. If I remove the " ", like so, "(IF([Contingent Hire]=FALSE,))" from the calc column, the error goes away; however, the Expiration Date field does not
remain blank like I want it to.
Does anyone have any suggestions? (Below is the error generated when I open Designer and then try to open the Edit form for the corresponding list containing the calc column)
JackSki123

Hi Jack,
Could you provide a screenshot about this issue?
As Dimitri suggested, you can install the update for your SharePoint Designer and check again.
And you can also check if you can display "NA" instead of " " in your calculated column per the following post.

"edit" link from report to form does not show values

I created a report and an attached form on two different pages. The report is a query combining two tables with outer joins. When I click on the "edit" button on the report, I get forwarded to the form page.
My problem: When I get forwarded to the forms page, I get an empty form, and not the data from the column as expected. The "edit" button behaves more like the "create" button. Anybody an idea what I could change to be able to edit the column data?
Thank you.

I've met the similar problem with previous releases (1.5.0 and 1.5.1) without any objective reason.
As I suggests, sometimes HTMLDB lost current session state. When this occurs, ALL links from reports to it's forms does not transit primary keys. I've just completed application development and I've met this behaviour every months.
As a workaround I found folowwjing process:
Come into administration tab, selet "Report with option to purge current session state". When I purge current session state and re-login to application, all report-form links will start to work.
I don't know, what is the issue, but I met it so soon on my local HTMLDB environment.

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>
