SharePoint 2013 File Last Modified Property

Hi,
Is there a way to promote "Last Modified Date" of an office document into a SharePoint Library Column?
techie

Techie,
Default upload form won't do it for us, so either you have to make your own custom upload interface which will read from file property and update accordingly, or you have yo use migration tool. Usually they does fairly good job to keep document meta
data intact even after upload.

Getting the "last modified" property of a file located on HTTP server

Hello
I'd like to read a file (on http server) according to his "last modified" time. Can anybody tell me how to get the "last modified" property in a J2ME/CLDC application?
Thanks in advance

the file that you want get is in the server?
you can use java.io.File.lastModified() which in J2SE to get a long num.
then you can transform long int to orther class that you need ,and do this in server.
at the end of all you can send this info to J2ME/CLDC app with stream.

Can you call a built-in labview VI using teststand directly? For "File last modified"...

I am trying to use Teststand to retrieve the "last modified" timestamp property for the sequence file that is running. The purpose is to determine whether a modification has been made since the last time a sequence with the same file name was run. The "saved count" property is not a viable option since mulitple people may be working on the same sequence, and in theory two people could have started with the same sequence file, made a change, and then saved (making the saved count property the same even though they are now different sequences).
So, unless someone knows of an easy way to do get this info (file last modified information) within Teststand, here's my question:
LabVIEW has a built-in VI that provides this information (Programming Pallete->File IO->Advanced File Functions->File/Directory Info). This gives a "last mod" output which is exactly what I need. However, this is in Labview, not teststand where I prefer to call it and retrieve the information. I could easily just place this built-in VI into a new blank VI, and then call that with TestStand, but that seems very redundant. The built-in version is exactly what I need.
Is there a way to call this VI directly from TestStand without having to put it into a blank VI and save it as a seperate file? I can't seem to locate it within any of the labview directories or libraries, but maybe I'm not searching for the right name. Is there an easy way to find a VI on the harddrive that is on one of the buit-in labview palletes ?
This seems like such a simple thing but it's giving me a lot of grief!
Thanks!

That is one of the built-in functions and not a stand-alone VI and the best way to call it is to create a VI with it on the block diagram.

Know an extension that searches for the file "last modified" date?

I am working on a site with 80,000 pages and need to find an
extension that will search all files within the site and populate
the date each file was last modified. Know of an extension that
will assist in this situation? Any ideas will help, thanks in
advance!

Ahh, so now your requirements are changing. You do not want a
simple
text file output after all, but instead a sortable list. So
perhaps
output as a csv that could be sorted within a spreadsheet.
Altho 80000
rows?
It is a bit hard to believe that an organization with an
80000 page
website does not have inhouse gurus who could do this in a
heart beat.

SharePoint 2007 Site Last Modified date issue

Hello,
Good Morning.
We are facing Last modified date update issue in MOSS 2007. From last 2 days, In All site content the site last modified date is displayed as 3 month ago but actually the site was last updated by more than 2 year ago.
Could you please help on how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
-Tushar

Hi,
From your description, you think last modified date of your Moss 2007 site is wrong.
Could you offer a screenshot about your All site content page?
You can use the LastItemModifiedDate property of the Web object to get the last modified date of your site:

Files last modified date using.

Is there a way to get the last modifed date of a file residing on a remote machine ?
I tried the URL class. But could get to the file's contents and not the last modifed date of the file.
Thank you..

It depends on how you access the file.
if the files are in a shared folder you can create a file object for it and get the last modified date.
If it in a HTTP/FTP server then you should be able to ge the last updated date as a header.

Upload file last modified timestamp

Hello there! This is my first time posting!
I'm trying to upload a remote file with HTML form and JDBC (and save as a BLOB in the database).
Is there a way to get the last modified timestamp of this remote file?
If so, how?
Thanks!

Wilson

That makes it a much tougher problem. I know that JSP won't give you what you need. You may be able to write a signed JavaScript to do the job, but I have never seen a successful implementation of signed JavaScript. You may be able to access some COM object, but then you would not be platform independent. The answer may possibly come with an Applet, although I have never used Applet technology in the real world, so I am not familiar enough with it to show you the way.
So, short of getting the user to key in the date time as part of their form submission, this one has me stuck.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Sharepoint 2013 - File Send option doesn't work

Hello,
I have an issue with File Send option in SP 2013, here is my scenario
Choose a file that i want to send
Click Send To - in Files (Ribbon)
Fill the destination path that i want to copy (test successfully)
Click 'OK' button
And here is my result, i always received the empty messagebox as below
Kind regards,
Binh Duong

Ok, I see you were not trying to mail it, you're trying to send it to another library
it could be the URL is too long. there is a 256 character limit, and maybe the URL that is getting generated exceeds the limit.
Here are a couple links about the limit

InfoPath 2013 Read SharePoint 2013 File data using Rest API Access Denied Exception

I am designing a set of Forms and they need to query Data from among themselves.
The whole set up described below works in the Form Filler/Preview
I'll call them Form A and Form B
Form A has a repeating table that needs to be displayed in Form B
The user selects from a DropDown in Form B an Instance of Form A, using the selected I REST connection is executed so the Form A xml is available inside Form B. The connection is set up as follows:
_api/web/lists/ListName/Items(SelectedId)/File/$value
I publish the form as site content type, add it to a library, after triggering the REST connection I get an error. ULS gives me a 401 Access denied for NT Authority\IUSR (as it should since I don't have anonymous access enabled [nor has that solved the issue])
That's my issue. All requests on the REST api are being executed as anonymous and not as a user that should have permission.
Things I've tried:
1. The connection uses a UDCX file, the conenction is set to use the form server proxy. The proxy has been enabled for the Form Services, web application and user connection. I've tried it with a configured App ID or an Explicit account
2. I've tried enabling Anonymous access, but have had no success
3. I've gotten the Query to work on Post Backs by adding the following to the web.config:
<location path="_layouts/15/Postback.FormServer.aspx">
<system.web>
<identity impersonate="false" userName="bhs\sp_admin_dev" password="M1crosoft" />
</system.web>
</location>
And while it solves the issue for Postback requests and I could add FormServer.aspx to the list I can't use this solution for a production environment, nor can I predict other issues that could be caused by the change.
I haven't been able to find any references to this error so I wonder if I'm doing something wrong or if there's another way to do this.
If I've been unclear on anything, let me know and I'll try to clear it up.

Hi Choggo,
thank you for your information,
regarding this issue, it seems we may need to debug and trace your network, to check if should the parameter that is used for the REST connection is correct.
i checked with infopath team members regarding this issue, they suggest that you try with impersonation, so that the user that login is not anonymous, but the user that you already been assign with.
the last suggestions from our sharepoint team members that we are able to do, as we have limited tools on this forum support, that you need to check the file udcx itself, do the permission to access that file is correct, so for example, if the file is not
having the permission to be read/access then the system may result with anonymous account, so that we may have the result that the data that should be passed are able to accessed.
if should this suggestion not applicable to your environment, our sharepoint team members suggest that you to open an incident ticket, so that we can check and re-confirm more deep for you if should this is an undocumented feature or not. the action
plans is to have a remote session, then we can trace the data passing process, that is already correct, so that the IUSR is not appear when it authenticate.

Why will finder not order files by last modified?

Finder has an option to arrange files by last modified, which I have enabled: http://i.imgur.com/rOfwz1O.png
This doesn't do what is says though, it groups files last modified with a particular time frame (today, yesterday, last week, etc.) and shows them alphabetically within that group.
To illustrate this problem create 3 files, a, b, c
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin staff 0 11 Oct 13:04 a
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin staff 0 11 Oct 13:03 b
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin staff 0 11 Oct 13:04 c
As you can see 'b' was created a minute before 'a' and 'c', yet in finder with the arrange by last modified option enabled they still appear in alphabetical order: http://i.imgur.com/4cVRTdD.png
How do I get true chronological ordering of files in OSX?
Thanks for any help

By what you describe, it is arranging files by last modified. But, it appears you want to Sort by last modified.
Set the Arrangement to None, then option click the button (or menu item). It will switch to Sorting options.
You can set an Arrangement and also sort within the groups of the arrangement.

Extracting documents from Sharepoint 2013 Content Database

harepoint 2013 stores documents in the WSS_Content database in a table called DocStreams.
Up until Sharepoint 2010, files where stored in a single row in a VarBinary column. Since Sharepoint 2013, files are stored in multiple rows using Shredded Blob storage.
Does anyone know how I can piece together the files from the shredded storage in c#?
I have found many exampled online to extract files from SharePoint 2010 and earlier but they only support a files content being stored in 1 row.

Just wondering, can't you attach the database in a new site and access documents? As I know, in SharePoint 2013 they have changed architecture to manage versioning. In pre-SharePoint 2013 every individual versions was a duplicate copy of the document
- which would increase db size and would make it difficult to move documents in the cloud. So in SharePoint 2013 they use delta concept - where if you edit a document which creates a new version, the version is the delta (changes) to previous version.

Outlook 2013 window missing Last Modified By information for Sharepoint 2010 calendar appointment

We have been running Sharepoint 2010 for about a year now, along with Office 2010. We have recently begun testing the upgrade to Office 2013. What we've found is that when in Outlook 2013 viewing a synced Sharepoint 2010 calendar appointment, you no longer
see the Last Modified By information at the bottom right-hand corner of the window. If you try viewing a shared Exchange calendar's appointment that is not on Sharepoint, you do see this information.
Can anyone else confirm this, and suggest whether anything can be done to restore the functionality?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you can’t see the “Last modified by” information at the bottom right-hand corner of the window when you view a synced SharePoint 2010 calendar appointment in Outlook 2013.
In my environment, I create a calendar event in Outlook 2013, and the result is that I can’t see the “Last modified by” information at the bottom right-hand corner of the event window when I click on this event.
It’s by design that it will not show the “Last modified by” information at the bottom right-hand corner of the event window when we click on this event in Outlook 2013.
As a workaround, I recommend that you can follow the steps as below to change the current view to list view and show the information.
1. Open your calendar in Outlook 2013, go to “View“ tab, click on “Change View”, select the “Manage Views”.
2. Select the “List” view, click on the “Modify”, click on the “Columns”, select available columns from: All Mail fields, select the “Changed by” to add and move it up.
3. Go back to the “Change view”, select the “List” view and it will show all the calendar events with the “Changed by” information in a list.
And, if you want to set other settings of the current “List” view, you can click on the “View Settings” to modify it.

How to change 'Modified By' column value when a new file is uploaded in SharePoint 2013 using Client Object Model?

I want to change 'Modified By' column value of a file that is being uploaded using Client Object Model in SharePoint 2013. The problem is that the version of the file is changing. Kindly help me. The code that I am using is:
using (System.IO.Stream fileStream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(m_strFilePath))
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File.SaveBinaryDirect(m_clientContext, str_URLOfFile, fileStream, true);
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File fileUploaded = m_List.RootFolder.Files.GetByUrl(str_URLOfFile);
m_clientContext.Load(fileUploaded);
m_clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
User user1 = m_Web.EnsureUser("User1");
User user2 = m_Web.EnsureUser("User2");
ListItem item = fileUploaded.ListItemAllFields;
fileUploaded.CheckOut();
item["UserDefinedColumn"] = "UserDefinedValue1";
item["Title"] = "UserDefinedValue2";
item["Editor"] = user1;
item["Author"] = user2;
item.Update();
fileUploaded.CheckIn(string.Empty, CheckinType.OverwriteCheckIn);
m_clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

Hi talib2608,
Chris is correct for this issue, when calling update using ListItem.update method, it will increase item versions, using SystemUpdate and UpdateOverwriteVersion will update the list item overwrite version.
these two methods are not available in CSOM/REST, only server object model is available for this.
Thanks,

Network File sharing in SharePoint 2013 portal

Hi Everyone
I have a set of network folders(shared folder in some server) and want to make use of all this in SharePOint as a portal. So that i can eliminate the use of Network folder sharing concept. Bacially i need to know whether we have any OOB template/s available
in SharePoint 2013 or its a custom development ?
Regards
Prashanth
SharePoint Administrator

Hi Prashanth,
There are multiple ways to move content from fileShares to SharePoint.
Step 1: Create the SharePoint Information Architecture - create a site collection preferably chose a document center template, create document libraries and folders as per the network folder structure in your organization.
Step 2: Map your File Share as Network drive in your client machine, and same way map your SharePoint website document library as network drive too. Drag and drop files.
Note there are 2 issues for this approach,
1) your document metadata will be lost, the last modified by will change to the account with which you have logged into SharePoint while copying, and the last modified time will be changed.
2) Its a tedious manual approach if you have lots of files.
Now for retaining the metadata you will need to depend upon a 3rd party tools ( or this codeplex solution: http://f2sp.codeplex.com/ (I havent verified that this works with Sp 2013 or not).
Using 3rd party tools has the advantage of retaining metadata and any issues with file naming conventions will also be taken care of most of the prominent tools which otherwise needs to be taken care by administrator manually. - Note SharePoint has file
naming conventions - https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/905231?wa=wsignin1.0.
Also In order to reduce the effort in second step you can also create content organizer rules and map your drop off library as the drag and drop location.
finally do read this awesome blog post by Sean Earp and Andre Kieft before starting of with the project. http://blogs.technet.com/b/ptsblog/archive/2013/11/04/migrating-file-shares-to-sharepoint-online.aspx
Hope that helps.

Modifying hover over information in thumbnail view in SharePoint 2013

I am looking for a solution to be able to change hover over information in thumbnail view of the picture library in SharePoint 2013 replacing the Name/Title caption with a different field ( in my case it is "Source ID").
Can any one help me with that?

Hi Paul,
please refer the thread
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/b8fdb57c-2a24-49ba-ae9d-905da3652ebf/modify-thumbnail-view-of-picture-library?forum=sharepointcustomizationlegacy
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033\IMGLIB.JS
and saw that InsertItem called the CItem function/constructor, and that the Item object that it was creating had a Caption property. So I changed that property from "this.caption=baseName;" to "this.caption=titleStr;".
After restarting IIS and refreshing my page I was now looking at the Title field instead of the name field in the Thumbnails view of my Picture Library.
Anyway, thanks to all who contributed... i've been working on this problem for a long time and am glad to have finally solved it. Hopefully this post will be helpful to others.
