Sharepoint 2013 - Remove "Recent" from left menu

Hello All -
My client has requested that she be able to remove (or hide) the "Recent" menu header from the left menu in Sharepoint 2013. This is for specified site collections/sites/pages, not farm-wide.
So far, I've tried to do this via JQuery by adding the following code
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery(".ms-core-listMenu-item:contains('Recent')").parent().hide();
</script>
via both a script web-part and via a content editor web-part (using embed code), but to no avail. I've also tried adding the code above to a .js file (without the script tags) and calling it as
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/menu.remove.recent.js"></script>
instead, but it still doesn't work.
I've checked the page source and I can see the script is included. The "Recent" menu item however, is still there. My prefered solution would be to hide the menu item rather than remove it - I suspect removing it will probably cause issues as Sharepoint
likely expects it to be there.
There's no requirement to use JQuery - it just seemed to me to be the best way. I would also rather not edit master pages unless there's no other choice.
Any ideas?
sysadmin

Hi xida,
You need to reference the JQuery library, then add the code in the Content Editor Web Part in the view page (e.g. AllItems.aspx) of the Pages library, then the "Recent section" will be hidden when you access this AllItems.aspx page.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery(".ms-core-listMenu-item:contains('Recent')").parent().hide();
</script>
Thanks

[Forum FAQ] SharePoint 2013: Extracting values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and merge values to a multi-value enabled column

For some business requirements, users want to extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column
and add items to another list based on each separate value. In contrast, others want to find duplicate values in the list and merge associated values to a multi-value enabled column and then
add items to another list based on the merged value. All of these can be achieved using SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow.

How to
extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and
add items to another list based on each separate value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to
extract values from the Destinations column
in Lookup2 and add items to Lookup3 based on each country and set Title to current item: ID.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).\
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Important action
1. Loop Shape: SharePoint Designer 2013 support two types of loops: loop n times and loop with condition.
Loops must also conform to the following rules:
Loops must be within a stage, and stages cannot be within a loop.
Steps may be within a loop.
Loops may have only one entry and one exit point.
2. Utility Actions: It contains many actions, such as ‘Extract Substring from Index of String’ and ‘Find substring in String’.
Three scenarios
We need to loop through the string returned from the look up column and look for commas. There are three
scenarios:
1. No comma but string is non-empty so there is only one country.
2. At least one comma so there is at least two or more countries to loop.
3. In the loop we have consumed all the commas so we have found the last country.
Things to note
There are two things to note:
1. "Find string in string (output to Variable:index)" will return -1 if doesn't find
the searched for string.
2. In the opening statement "Set Variable: Countries to Current Item:Destinations" set the return
field as "Lookup Values, Comma Delimited".
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup2.
Add conditions and actions:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup2, then workflow will be started automatically and create multiple items to lookup3.
See the below in workflow History List:
How to merge values to a multi-value enabled column and add item to another list based on the
merged value using SharePoint Designer 2013
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to find duplicate values in the Title column in
Lookup3 and merge country column to a multi-value enabled column and then add item to lookup2 and set the Title to Current Item: Title.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Test (Single line of text).
Important actions
"Call HTTP Web Service"
action: In SharePoint 2013 workflows, we can call a web service using a new action introduced in SharePoint 2013 named Call HTTP Web Service. This action
is flexible and allows you to make simple calls to a web service easily, or, if needed, you can create more complex calls using HTTP verbs as well as allowing you to add HTTP headers.
“Build Dictionary"
action:
The Dictionary variable type is a new variable type in the SharePoint 2013 Workflow.
The following are the three actions specifically designed for the Dictionary variable type: Build Dictionary, Count Items in a Dictionary and Get an Item from a Dictionary.
The "Call HTTP Web Service" workflow action would be useless without the new "Dictionary" workflow action.
Things to note
The
HTTP URI is set to https://sitename/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('listname')/items?$orderby=Id%20desc and the HTTP method is set to “GET”. Then the list will be sort by Id in descending order.
Use Get
d/results(0)/Id form
Variable: ResponseContent (Output to
Variable: maxid) to get the Max ID.
Use Set
Variable: minid to Current List:ID to get the Min ID.
Use Copy from
Variable: destianation , starting at
1 (Output to
Variable: destianation) to remove the space.
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Test (Single line of text).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup3.
Add a new "Build Dictionary" action
to define the http request header:
Add a Call HTTP Web Serviceaction, click on
this and paste your http request.
To associate the
RequestHeader variable, select the Call action property,
set the
RequestHeaders property to
RequestHeader:
In the Call action, click on
response and associate the response to a new
variable: ResponseContent (of type Dictionary).
After the Call action add Get item from Dictionary action to get the Max ID.
Add Set Workflow Variable action to get the Min ID.
Add Loop Shape (Loop with Condition) to get all the duplicate titles and integrate them to a string.
Create item in Lookup2.
The final Stage should look like this:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup3, then workflow will be started automatically and create item to lookup2.
See the below in workflow History List:

GREAT info, but it may be helpful to note that when replacing a portion of the variable "Countries" with a whitespace character, you may cause the workflow to fail in a few specific cases (certain lookup fields will not accept this and will automatically
cancel). I only found this out when recreating your workflow on a similar, but much more complex list set.
To resolve this issue, I used another utility action (Extract Substring from Index of List) to clear out the whitespace. I configured it as "Copy from
Variable: Countries, starting at
1 (Output to Variable: Countries), which takes care of this issue in those few cases.
Otherwise, WOW! AWESOME JOB! Thanks! :)

Delete everything in Sharepoint 2013 and start from a begining

How do you delete all the settings, databases in Sharepoint 2013 and start from a begining.
We have some problems that PictureURL is wrong and some other thing ain't working right. Because Sharepoint 2013 is in our test environment we would like to delete all settings, databases including PictureURL info, which I don't know which SQL database holds
that information?
bostjanc

The pictureURL parameter is either going to be in the specific site collection in the User Information List, or it is going to be in the User Profile Synchronization Service Application, which is what syncs over to the User Information List. You will need
to identify exactly what you are trying to clear out. If you are not using User Profile Synchronization in your test environment then the following will help you find and delete the appropriate Site Collection or content database.
Any content is going to be Site Collection specific, so if you are setting the pictureURL for a user in http://portal.domain.com/sites/somesitecollection then that Site Collection will be in a specific database which may also contain other Site Collections.
To find out which database a Site Collection is in go to Central Administration -> Application Management -> Site Collections -> View All Site Collections. Here you can find the Site Collection you are browsing to. When you select it you will see
what content database it is in. You can also just delete the Site Collection here without the need to delete the entire content database. Instead of clicking View All Site Collections in the steps above click Delete a Site Collection. That is probably the
better route to go.
If you are using the User Profile Synchronization and this is where the picture URL is set then you will want to go to Central Administration -> Application Management -> Service Applications -> Manage Service Applications -> Click your User
Profile Service App and then view the user profiles. Find the user you want to remove the pictureURL for and edit that user profile to remove the picture.
Hope that helps!

How to remove "help" from the menu bar?

I'm using a landscape monitor in vertical mode, so I have a very narrow top of the screen. I never use the help button, ever. How can I remove it from the menu bar, freeing up some space? I need more space in the menu bar for MenuMeters etc. Thanks.
MacBook Pro Retina 15" (mid-2014) 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7

Usually the apps belonging to these icons have an option that allows you to hide the Menu Bar icon by allowing them to run as an app in the dock. However, certain applications like Caffeine must show their icons as otherwise you wouldn't be able to access them.
For example, Dropbox doesn't allow you to remove its menu bar icon:

I'm trying to remove pages from my menu by exluded them via the page properties. When I do that Muse crashes with the following error, "menuItemBox U32584 has no associates page!" Any help is appreciated.

I'm trying to remove pages from my menu by excluding them via the page properties. When I do that Muse crashes and displays the following error, "Adobe Muse CC has encountered an error and wil not exit...." "menuItemBox U32584 has no associates page!"

One or more menu widgets within your site have become out-of-sync with the structure of your site in Plan view. If you send us the file we can repair and return it. Or you could delete and recreate the menu widgets.
Please send us the .muse file at [email protected] along with a link to this thread. If the file is larger than 20Mb you can use a service like Adobe SendNow, Dropbox, WeTransfer, etc. (If you use a service, please include your return e-mail address in the body of the message, since not all services include it in the sharing invite they send.)

Project Server 2013 - Remove user from resource pool via sync

Hello everyone,
has anyone managed to configure their Project Server 2013 box with a resource pool sync that will actually remove user from the resource pool (disable "User can be assigned as resource" or deactivate users) when the user is removed from the AD
group(s)?
Setup: Single box, SQL 2012 SP1, SharePoint/Project Server 2013 + PU March + CU April. 2 PWA instances, 1 in SharePoint and 1 in Project permission mode. Tried on 2 different machines (different setup, accounts, domains).
Proceedings:
Create AD user U, AD group G. Add U to G.
Go to PWA, setup resource pool sync with G, sync.
U is now in the resource pool, has no PWA permissions.
Remove U from G. Resync resoure pool.
U is still in resource pool, still a resource, still active, can still be assigned as resource.
Adding U back to G an repeating the whole spiel with a resource pool and a PWA group sync of G will result in U being added and removed from the user list (as expected), and U being added but not removed from the resource pool.
Having read
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg982985.aspx and
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg750243.aspx, there does not seem to be an omission on my part.
The first article states:
Note:
The corresponding Project Server User Account is not deactivated based on this synchronization. If the same Active Directory user is configured to synchronize with a Project Server security group, the Project Server user account will be inactivated when
that synchronization occurs. For more information, see
Best practices to configure Active Directory groups for Enterprise Resource Pool synchronization in Project Server 2013.
Unfortunately, this deactivation either does not seem to occur even with a PWA group sync or I misunderstood the article.
So, did anyone manage to setup their resource pool sync in a way, that new resource will be added, but also be removed from the resource pool?
Kind regards,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
you tried to sync the same AD group that you used for the resource pool sync also with a Project Server permission group?
And on removal of the user of the AD group the project user/resource is not deactivated? Only removed from the group
Regards
Christoph
Hi Christoph,
even though I might have tried that before, I tried it again in several constellations. It didn't change anything. The the user will be properly added to and removed from the PWA group whenever I remove them from the AD group, the use will also stay active
(but cannot logon without permissions). However, the user will always remain in the resource pool, i.e. the "User can be assigned as resource." checkbox will remain unless it is cleared manually.
Having re-read the technet articles, none of the scenarios actually seem to descibe or address the process that I require, or maybe I'm just misunderstanding. Let me just try to outline the core issue:
Add user to AD group. Sync AD group with resource pool. User is now a PWA resource and PWA user.
Remove user from AD group, but do not deactivate/delete user from AD.
(Magic happens!)
User cannot be assigned as ressource in PWA.
So, is there anything to make this step 3 happen, or is it just not possible to sync users out of the resource pool anymore unless they are deleted/deactivated in AD?
Kind regards,
Adrian

Can SharePoint automatically remove documents from "Followed Documents" list once the document is deleted?

Hi,
SharePoint 2013, I followed a document. It appears in my "Followed Documents" list. Now someone deleted the document I followed. I want the item be automatically removed from my "Followed Documents" list. How to
do this?
Many thanks!

Hi Sindy,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to automatically delete the following documents links after the documents are deleted.
I tested the same scenario in my environment, and I got the same results as you got.
It is by design that the links will not be deleted automatically when the documents are deleted.
We need to click Stop following to clear the links.
Thanks,

Cant remove folders from side menu

I recently formated and reinstalled my mac. I backed up my user folder before formating so after the install I copied it back(following instructions from apple's web site). But now, I can't remove folders from finder's side menu. I can drag a folder from the side menu to the trash and it'll disappear but next time I open finder the folder is back in the side menu. Any ideas? Thanks.
Nate

If you Ctrl click on the folder you want removed in the sidebar and in the menu that pops up, you should see "Remove From Sidebar". Try that. Also, make sure you empty the Trash to make sure the folder is erased if it happened to end up there.
Hope that helps.

Application link has vanished from left menu bar (used to be under Podcasts

Hi,
I opened iTunes last night to synch my iPhone and it acted very oddly. iTunes installed a bunch of songs I had throw in the recycling bin and re-imported a bunch of album artwork. Small problems that I quickly resolved.
iTunes also gave me a weird message about applications (I didn't realize it was a big deal so I didn't read it, something about saving over new applications with older applications) so I said no.
The big issue - my applications link is now missing from the left menu screen (it used to be below the Podcasts link). I don't know how to update any applications or manage my applications without that link.
Help!
Thanks in advance.

iTunes prefs -> General.
Under Show: tick Applications.

Issues with SharePoint 2013 after upgrading from windows 2012 to 2012 r2

We have a Sharepoint with Sp1 environment on windows 2012. Recently we upgraded the windows 2012 to 2012 r2. After the upgrade sharepoint environment is completely unstable.
At first all the sites returned 401 errors. After resolving by resetting the object cache accounts the sites are back.
Then i see that none of the performance point dashboards work. I figured that claims to windows token service is defaulted to local system account. I previously configured with a domain account. I reconfigured to work with domain account.
All the dashboard pages throw error.
Some Error logs:Failed to get document content data. System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Cannot complete this function at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSqlClient.GetDocumentContentRow
Application error when access /Dashboards/Performance Dashboard/Main.aspx, Error=The EnableScriptGlobalization property cannot be changed during async postbacks or after the Init event. at System.Web.UI.ScriptManager.set_EnableScriptGlobalization(Boolean
value)
4. I tried to create a new dashboard and this time the performancepoint designer wont launch. After some troubleshooting i see that c2w host file didnot have the caller C:\Program Files\Windows Identity Foundation\v3.5.
I added <add value="WSS_WPG" /> and now it launches
5. Now the Dashboard launches and peruser identity works without having kerberos enabled at IIS. I have all the spn and required delegations setup for this url . But i did not configure at the IIS level
yet.
It looks like lot of things got messed up and reset. Can we upgrade to windows 2012 r2 with a sharepoint application inplace. what is the recommended approach and Whats happening with Performancepoint dashboards. IS there a known issue with sharepoint 2013
sp1.
Raj-Shpt

Thanks for the above article. Few issues are solved . One of the main issue is with Performancepoint Dashboard.
I have all the spn and required delegations setup for this url . But i did not configure at
the IIS level yet. Still per user identity works without having kerberos enabled at IIS.

SharePoint 2013 Error Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131904 Some sites are working while others give this error

I can access some of the sites, but others are throwing this error code... not sure why it appears that it is every other site almost...
I can actually get this error, at a top level site, go to a sub-site and that site is displayed.
Any ideas on how to resolve this error..
the Central Admin site is down also, just a blank page is returned. no error message...
we were able to add extra space on the VM brought back the sites but now the Central Admin site throws a 404 not found...

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that after adding extra space on the SQL server VM, the error 0x80131904 disappeared, but the CA got 404 error. Is it right?
Afer adding extra space on SQL server, make sure the SQL server is online and run SharePoint 2013 Products Configuration Wizards, when running, select “don’t disconnect from the server farm”.
Check whether this issue occurred on other machines. If CA is working from other computer and only server is facing this issue then you need to create diableloopbackcheck registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa. The value should
be 1 .
Please go to IIS->the server->ISAPI and CGI Restrictions, check whether there are four 'Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010' entries. If not, you need to create the following entries with the name as 'Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010':
                 C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\isapi\_vti_aut\author.dll
                 C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\isapi\_vti_adm\admin.dll
                 C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\isapi\shtml.dll
                 C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\isapi\owssvr.dll
Check Allow extension path of execute to allow the restriction to run automatically.
If this issue still exists, please check the log file to find more information about this issue. The path of the log file is : C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
Or you can use Event Viewer(Start->Run->event viewer) to find the log.
I hope this helps.

SharePoint 2013 Document Conversion from PDF to Word (docx) format

Hello all,
I know that SharePoint has the facility to convert documents from Word to PDF using the Word Conversion Service, and I've worked with it in C# using the object model.
We have a client request for the opposite process. They have an email-enabled document library that receives PDF documents...they would like these converted to Word (.docx).
I'm believe that SharePoint 2013 Word Automation Service has no way to do this (although I could be wrong); and I'm not sure of the object model either. However, in Office Web Apps you can open a PDF file in the browser, and the form has a button labeled
"Edit in Word". When selected, it shows a message: "Word Web App will make a copy of your PDF and convert it to a Word document for you to edit."
Is there a way to access the SharePoint Office Web Apps object model/API in code, to do the same thing that the "Edit in Word" button does? It would be great to be able to hook into those methods, if possible.
Thanks for your help.
Kind Regards,

Hi,
According to your post, you want to convert the pdf file to word format.
For converting the pdf file to word format, a workaround is that you can read the content of PDF file out and then construct a Word document using C#.

Opening Videos from Left Menu Requires Right Click

I have multiple Windows 7 computers with iTunes installed. I have noticed that whan trying to open videos from the left menu, the only way to get it working is to wight click on the mouse, left clicking does not work. Does anyone know anything about this and how to resolve it?

I encountered the same problem. A quicker workaround then restarting firefox is to just minimize and maximize. Don't know why but that works.
