SharePoint 2013 Snippets usage advice and help

SharePoint 2013 Snippets usage advice and help
I am new to SharePoint Site development. I am creating a simple public website to look similar to their old one.
I have created a masterpage that looks OK using the design manager, and also a page layout. I have got the website looking half OK.
I seem to have difficulties all the time when it comes to snippets - and finding specific help on how to use each individual one.
So the main question - where would you advise I go to get help?
The current snippet issue is:
> regarding to top navigation menu
> I have inserted one into the masterpage - and got it working
> However it will not let me do submenus when I go into Edit Links
> But I then went to site settings and did the edit links from there
> It let me there - but it's a different menu !! (I now have two)
> I can't see this second menu from within the snippets - it defaults to one that does not allow sub menus
> So how do I change the snippet to look at the menu I was able to edit
But more generally - when I get this kind of issue, where to I look for the solution?
Thanks in anticipation

SharePoint 2013 Anonymous (public) site and Office Web Apps Server 2013 issue with download.aspx

Our organization has a public facing anonymous site in SharePoint 2013 which allows access to documents (docx) in a library. ViewFormsLockdown is activated as we present the documents via CQWP / custom template. We are combating the usual
issue of multiple login prompts when using Internet Explorer when a user accesses said document. We also have tried using the Word Viewer (view only mode) from Office Web Apps Server 2013 which works well, but ...
the problem stems from the fact that users can go the file menu from the word view and choose to download the document (which is what we want), unfortunately it looks like the link redirects via /_layouts/15/download.aspx which also presents a login
prompt. Much has been written out there about doing direct links for documents via /_layouts/download.aspx to address multiple login prompts when the document is opening in word (from IE).
I've tried nearly every combination of recommendations (disabling client integration, browser file handling (permissive/strict), ViewFormsLockdown feature, web.config modifications with options and propfind verbs and more) all to varying levels of success,
but never totally getting rid of the prompt. It has been stated that because the downloads.aspx inherits from Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.Download this will not allow anonymous access. We really want to use the word view from the Office
web app and have the file download functionality work from the menu there ... can anyone suggest an alternate fix? I might be wishing but will appreciate any guidance offered ...
cheers,
Dean

Add button to SharePoint 2013 form with InfoPath and/or SharePoint designer

Since I am new to working with Sharepoint 2013, I have the following questions to ask you about Infopath 2013 and possibly SharePoint Desinger 2013:
1. Yesterday I created a custom list in my 'test area of SharePoint' and opened the list in Infopath 2013 to see what the form would look like. Now I have alot more columns and edits to add to the list. I am planning to add more columns to the list when
I am in my 'test area' and then make cosmetic changes to the form using Infopath 2013. I am thinking that if I continue this way, I may lose some ediut changes I have made using Infopath 2013. Thus can you tell me the best way to add more columns to the list
and/or modify the existing columns and not lose the edit changes that I made using Infopath 2013?
2. The infopath 2013 form does not contain any buttons to click. I need a button to show up for every user to click so that a workflow can be started. Do I need some kind of a task list(action)? Thus can you tell me how to add this type of a button to the
form?

Wendy, Please go through this video from
channel 9 (http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/NickDallett/InfoPath-2010-Customize-a-SharePoint-List-Form) which will uilding froom explain similar form building from scratch.
As per Peter's replay yes you can update form even after add columns in list and you can add extar control like button to your infopath form.
Workflows are usually started when creating or updating an item inside a SharePoint document library.
Open the workflow in SharePoint Designer and under "Start Options' on the workflow's home page, remove the check from "Start workflow manually...". Be sure the check either "Start on create..." or "Start on change...". In
your case I think you would use "Start on create...".
Hope these inputs will help

Customize Sharepoint 2013 Blog Post forms and layout

I have a blog site that will be home to customer call reports saved as posts to the blog. The blog works, but how do I get all the custom columns to show on the blog home page that shows all of the posts. Currently, only the Posted Date, Notes, and Title
field display.

Hi Jim ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display custom columns in your home page posts web part.
Please go to the home page -> Edit Page -> Edit the Posts Web Part ->in the Posts Web Part Settings Page , click Edit the current view -> check the column you want to display and click OK.
The fields are now available to be rendered as part of the current view.
Then we need to create the custom JavaScript file that will render the new fields for the post body. You can refer to the blog:
HOW TO: Add a custom field to blog posts in SharePoint 2013
Hope this helps!

SharePoint 2013 - Media Web Part and Silverlight

Hi
Is Silverlight mandatory for Media Web Part.? As per my understanding .WMV and .MP4 files will be played in HTML 5 player with IE 9 and above.
I have configured a Media Web Part with a .WMV video file. We have to use IE9 browser. The video plays with Silverlight but if I uninstall Silverlight from machine it doesn't play. How to make these videos play in machines without
silverlight?
Thanks
Ari

Hi Ariharaselvan,
If you use Media Web Part to play the video, you need to install Silverlight on the client server. If not, it doesn’t work.
As a workaround, you can use a third party media player to play the video. Here is a CodePlex solution, please have a try:

There are some articles for your reference:

Configure a sharepoint 2013 site for external and internal access

I need to configure a local install of sharepoint 2013 so that users can access it internally and externally using windows/AD authentication. The internal and external addresses are different.
I have bound an external ip to the domain for external access.
I have created Alternate Access mapping, and bound the host header but I get a file not found message for external access.
Have I missed something here? why the error and how can it be fixed. Step by step process would be appreciated.

Hi Luis,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when accessing the site externally.
The most common cause for this is that the IIS host header is configured incorrectly. The 404 will appear because we are hitting a different IIS web site and not the one we are intended to.
Here is a similar issue for you to take a look:

Customise SharePoint 2013 Mysite Welcome Text and Email

Hi ,
I am Trying to Customize SharePoint 2013 Mysite Welcome Text i.e "We are almost ready text.." that comes when we first enter mysite.
Since we are not using the skydrive feature, we don't want it on welcome text and also the email that follows.
Is there a way to customize that text and also the email part ?
I want to have my own customized text when mysite is created.
Regards, Rahul Poojary

Hi,
We can use JavaScript to change the text and add it in the master page in use.
Here is a link about how to use JavaScript to change the content of HTML elements:
http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_htmldom_html.asp
Here is the corresponding element in page:
Then we can apply JavaScript to the master page using SharePoint Designer.

Sharepoint 2013 in hosted domain and visibility of user accounts

Hi,
we have an AD domain we use in combination with exchange and website panel for multiple customers.
Now 1 of these customers needs a sharepoint site. This sharepoint installation will run specifically for them so managing it through website panel isn't desirable.
Basically we're looking for a way to limit the users' visibility of other customers users accounts in the same AD. Can this be done? In exchange they do it through custom address lists and that kind of stuff. Can the same be done with sharepoint. If possible
we would like them to be unable to see groups/users that aren't part of their OU (it's fine if they see OU's below their own OU though).
I've been searching a bit but probably with the wrong terminology as there's little I find.
Any pointers would be great.
TIA

Hi TIA ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a SharePoint site which will run specifically for a group users. For this demand, you can create a new unique permission site and
add the group into Site Member.
For hiding the membership of the group, go to your site collection->site settings->site permissions->go into these groups you want to hide for your users->settings -> group settings,
set “Who can view the membership of the group” to Group Members.
Thanks,
Eric

Internet Explorer 11 and SharePoint 2013 Standard - Web Parts and Calendar Don't Display/Render Correctly

Hello everyone.
I am currently running a fully patched (Service Pack 1) version of SharePoint Standard 2013 On Premises. I am having 2 problems that are reproducible on both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 on multiple computers when running Internet Explorer 11 (fully updated
through Windows Update). The issues are "fixed" when running compatibility view in the browser or using Chrome/Firefox.
The issues are as follows:
Issue 1 Calendar view does not display correctly
Issue 2 Web parts do not display correctly when editing a page.
Picture of calendar
Webpart "edit menu dropdown" in upper right corner is replaced with 2 up arrows. Clicking minimizes web part.
Is there any word on a fix for this? Is this something only I am experiencing? Is there an issue with my SharePoint server? I would hate to have to uninstall IE11 from 300 machines and install IE10.
Thanks

There are a few critical issues
Pages will not enter edit mode. You will click Settings > Edit Page and the page will simply refresh but will not change over into edit mode. Seems to only affect pages with
Web Part Zones.
Calendar will not enter edit mode.
Web Part Properties cannot be modified. If you are able to get into edit mode (you can edit wiki pages) you will not be able to modify existing Web Parts by using the Web Part
Properties panel. Instead you will see a really weird collapse button that looks like it is coming from the mobile view but you cannot modify web part properties… even through the ribbon controls.
I cannot use the import spreadsheet app, the error says it is not supported with the current browser.
When I hoover over a “people” field I cannot see their information.
I had all these capabilities with IE9
This suggestion I found online appears to fix issues 1-3.
http://windowsitpro.com/windows-7/fixing-most-not-all-ie11-compatibility-problems
To run in compatibility mode
Press ALT + T when viewing your      SharePoint page
Click Compatibility View Settings      in the menu that appears
Click Add to add the current      SharePoint site to your list of compatibility view pages
Click Close

SharePoint 2013 - Site Settings - Users and permissions - "Access Request and invitations" link missing

I am site collection administrator and have configured the outgoing email in Central administration but "Access Request and invitations" link is missing, pl advice any additional configurations for this link to show up
I was though able to configure access requests by going to Site Settings->Users and permission and on the ribbon selected "Access Request Settings"
What is the difference in either of the approaches?
Thanks
Abhishek

Hi there,
I noticed this post, and didnt really find an appropriate solution to your issue. I noticed the same issue when dealing with Access Requests. First of all to make sure that the Request feature is enabled, you need to access
Site Settings -> Site Permissions -> Access Request Settings -> Make sure the
'Allow access requests' option is enabled.
The Allow access screen just allows you to enable the feature and also to specify a email address that notifications are sent to. Whereas the 'Access Requests and Invitations' section provides a screen to manage Access Requests and request history.
I noticed then that the Access Requests and Invitations link under 'User and Permissions' didnt actually appear until someone actually requests to join the site. It seems that this is needed to display the screen. Once actioned once, the option stays there.
Hope it helps

Open to answers... Not getting help from apple

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists. If it does, remove the email accounts from mail and add them again.

>>You can use Visual Studio to create performance and stress testing projects.
Yes I know that I can use VS, it's in the link of my first post.
>>Check out my articles at:
Margriet, thank You very much! I see that You analyzed more than a hundred of tools and dived very deep into this question! Thank You for
the tool, it works for me!
1) But what You use to monitor server behavior, do You use Resource monitor? By example I can see some network and cpu activity during test, but how can I analyze this data..
or I'd use some video-capture tools(like 'camtasia studio'), record this system monitor and then analyze?
2) I understand correctly, that this tool covers "WFE test", mostly IIS, like pages generation; SQL database should be tested by other methods.
p.s.:Sorry for bad english)
upd.: added all Your counters, the picture looks impressive :-D

Project advice and help

Hi all,
I am going to start on my project for my master program. I was wondering if anyone can help me?
i need to know what I can use that is low cost.
I will be using labview 8.0. I need to communicate with a hardware of anytype.
what i have in mind is probably a camera, video or something. or even a tv screen/dvd player.
the idea i have is to read those videos into labview and do some type of compresssion or something.
i dont know where to start. dont know what pci to use. does anyone have an idea?
please help me..
thank you in advance
Best regards,
Krispiekream

Hi there
I'm not sure what to advise as your description seems a little vague.
You say you would like to read signals into labVIEW. This sounds great, you can do loads of great stuff in labVIEW with Vision though I would ask do you have the vision toolkits for labVIEW 8.0 or Vision Assistant, Vision Builder?
For more information on these I would recommend you look at http://www.ni.com/vision/software.htm
Hardware - you would like to communicate with hardware of any type? TVs etc are passive so these yyou cannot easily communicate with image-wise. I think a camara is your best bet though again the method of receiving your signal is somewhat imaterial for this you could just use a saved vidio file. How exactly do you want to compress it?
If you can give me slightly more clarity then I will try and advise.
best regards

Some advice and help with sound please

i have just upgraded! to premier elements 8. when i import a dvd all the sound plays when viewed on the preview but as soon as i drag it down to become the next clip everything is heard (background music, dogs barking chit chat etc) except the voices of the actors. any suggestions would be appreciated. of course just to frustrate me it doesn't happen on all clips

This is extremely odd, as if all of the sounds are heard in the DVD, you are working with that mixed Audio Stream. PrE does not break this apart, i.e. un-mix the Stream from the DVD.
When played on either a computer through DVD player software, or on a TV through a set-top player, do you hear all frequencies?
When you have Imported the VOB, do you hear everything in the Source Monitor?
Are you saying that when you drag the Clip to the Timeline, suddenly the frequency ranges of human speech disappear? That is very, very hard to accomplish with a professional Audio editing program, let alone have it happen automatically and accidentally in PrE.
Good luck,
Hunt

Creating bootable EXTERNAL HD - advice and help needed please

Hi all,
First of all I hope this is the right place to put this topic, if not then please move it to the right place.
Right, now my problem.
As I have a few programs that do not work with Snow Leopard yet, but do with Leopard, I wanted to know if it is possible to create a bootable HD (partition) on my external HD without losing all the data that is on there now? I have a 1TB external drive on which I would like to do this, and then install OSX Leopard on it to be able to use the software that is not Snow Leopard compatible yet.
The software I am talking about is most of the Line 6 software like the Variax Workbench
Thanks in advance and best regards
Peter

If there's ample free space on the ext HD to hold what's on the int HD, then this is the way to do it quickly and not lose anything currently on the ext HD. These steps assume that the ext HD is formatted as Mac OS Extended.
1. Download and install Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC).
2. Double-click on the ext HD's Desktop icon, select list view in the Finder window that pops up, CMDSHIFTN (creating an untitled folder), uniquely rename that folder (e.g., Don'tTouch), and put everything currently on the ext HD into that folder.
3. Launch CCC, select the internal HD as source, select the ext HD as target, select, Backup Everything, uncheck the +Delete items that don't exist on the source+ option, click the Clone button, enter your admin username & password, and click OK.
4. When CCC reports back with a good cloning, quit CCC, launch System Preferences->Startup Disk->select the ext HD, and click Restart.
5. If the machine successfully boots with the clone on the ext HD (select Apple icon->About This Mac->Startup Disk->"name of ext HD"), then ensure that it looks and operates exactly like the original did.
6. Launch Disk Utility, select the int HD, and erase and repartition it to suit your needs.
7. Launch CCC and reclone the clone to its int HD volume.
8. Install Leopard onto another int HD volume, include those Leopard-only apps, and you have a dual-boot int HD, but only have the SL volume backed up. As others have noted, you need to consider backing up the other stuff on the ext HD (in "Don'tTouch") and providing for a clone of the new Leopard installation.
