Created By and Created Date fields not showing up on Custom List form webpart

Hi,
I have added Custom Listform WebPart on "DispForm.aspx" of custom list. I need to display, out of box fields "Author" [Created By] and "Created" [Creation Date] on this custom list form webpart, I have added them on the webpart, following is the code behind of aspx page:
<td width ="400px" valign= "top" class="ms-formbody">
<xsl: value-of select = "@Author" disable-output-escaping = "yes"/>
</td>
However these fields are not showing/populating data on the form ?? Any inputs ???
Regards

Hi,
I think that when you insert a custom list form web part you select “Item” content type, so custom list form is designed to display only the fields that are appropriate for that content type “Item”, but the item content type doesn’t contain the created and created by column, when you add the two columns, it will not find the field value. By default, the two columns will display at the foot of the list form using SharePoint:CreatedModifiedInfo.
Hope it can help you.

How long does it take for the custom field created in SFDC to show up in the field mapping list?

How long does it take for the custom field created in SFDC to show up in the field mapping list? I hit the refresh field button, but it is not showing up after 5 min. Do I just need to have patience?

Hi,
What do you have to do to the field in SFDC to make it accessible so that it shows up in the Eloqua field mapping area as a field to be mapped?

Custom list column not showing up in View Order by or Group by dropdown list

Hi All,
I have created a custom list with a custom column called "Description". Some items in the list do not have a description. What I wanted to do is create a view where the items with a description show first, and the items with no description are
at the bottom of the list. I thought I could make a simple view that uses the Order by or Group by on the description column.
The problem I am having is the description column doesn't show up in the dropdown list for either Order by or Group by within the custom view. Can someone please tell me why this happens and if there is anything I can do to rectify this problem.
I hope you can help
Colin

Hi,
I believe the "Description" field type is Multiple Lines of Text. Sorting doesn't allow in this field type. In order to do the sorting, you would require to create additional column like single line of text column (note that it supports only 255
chars and require to truncate the data if more than 255) and update the data using event receiver or workflow. and do the sorting with that column.

Create a Report with InfoPath to Show Only Some of Data in a Custom List

I have to create a report using InfoPath from a SharePoint 2010 custom list.
The report has 8 columns, and there will be four repeating? tables in it, each table including data that is filtered from the bigger list to meet two criteria. All the items in all four repeating tables will meet one of the criteria (Type of Task field
= Human Capital) and each of the other four repeating tables will be different depending on the contents of the Personnel Action Location field. Neither Type of Task or Personnel Action Location will be columns in the repeating tables.
How can I filter data from a custom list as it goes into a form?
Can I do this on fields that don't otherwise appear in the form?
If I can just figure out how do to one form, we can do many, many more, and finally really move over to SharePoint, but I just need to get the first one figured out please. Thanks!

Hi,
If you would like to connect data to InfoPath form from SharePoint list, you could make use of Data Connection. You could locate it via InfoPath form > Data ribbon > Get External Data > From SharePoint List.
And here are the links to use it for your reference:

Cannot remove description field after adding to the Custom List

Hello,
Applies To: SharePoint 2013
Problem: We created a Custom List and added a Description column from "Add from existing site columns" link. Now we need to remove it and it seems to have been sealed. We are not able to delete it.
There is no remove/delete link/button when we click on the field. Moreover in the Content Type it only shows Required, Optional, Hidden.
Requirement: Need to remove this field from the Custom List. Incidentally we added two of the description fields. We need to remove both of them without deleting the list itself.
Thank you and
Regards

Hi Tanzim,
Try the following code. I tested it and it should work for you.
Add-PSSnapIn Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell
$web = Get-SPWeb "Web URL"
$list = $web.Lists["List Name"]
$field = $list.Fields["Description"]
$field.AllowDeletion = $true
$field.Sealed = $false
$field.Delete()
$list.Update()
Remove-PSSnapIn Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell

User message entered in Validation settings does not show up in custom list form created in sharepoint designer 2010

I have a custom list form created in SPD based on EditItem form. I then set field validation in Validation setting and entered a user message to display when the validation did not pass.
The validation works in the custom form but the user message never show up.
I see a similar question posted in 2012:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/cd292b50-856f-4dfa-8cfe-aeb688ee7185/validating-fields-on-a-sharepoint-2010-custom-list-form?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
Is this still a known bug? What is the easiest workaround?

Hi ,
From the
above link you mentioned, have you tried using the code line in your custom form?
Please try the code suggested by sp-achiever and hamish, and see if it could help solve the issue.
<SharePoint:ItemValidationFailedMessage ControlMode="New" runat="server" ID="checkform" />
Have you installed hotfix KB245789 or CU contained this kb?
Please check if KB245789 has fixed this issue as KP2011 suggested in the same post, and please try it in a test environment firstly.

Retrieve a list of different values of custom metadata field of an UCM connection

Hi
I am planning to create a custom search document functionality for my UCM and Portal integration. Basically, I am planing to create CMIS queries dynamically. In order to create the CMIS query, I need the possible values of custom metadata for the user to select from and through a backing bean construct the cmis query based on this selection.
I have created a custom metadata field (lets say, 'KindOf'). So I want to show the user a list of all possible 'KindOf' values, so user selects the values he wants and I use those values to build the cmis query and show the results.
What is the easiest, best practices, how would you do it, way of achieving this?
I have little experience with UCM.
Regards

Hi,
As rightly pointed out by jiri machotka, you want that option list .
if you create a option list metadata, you have to publish schema to get the values. You can do it by two ways:
1) Wait for the event which publish the schema automatically.
2)Select "Publish schema" in the options menu of the Configuration Manager.
Some good implementation info about searching can be found at - Students at Oracle: UCM: Creating search and check-in profiles with custom metadata
and http://www.slideshare.net/heikim/effective-strategies-for-searching-oracle-ucm
Otherwise if you want faceted search or something near to enterprise searching capabilities, then go for enterprise search engines.
I have recently worked on Enterprise Search Engines on various CMS products for better,intuitive and relevant search results.
Hope, above information can help you out.

Hoque

Checks if item field link exists into a custom list

Hi;
I have a custom list with 2 columns : Title and SITE (field link)
Title (text) :
SITE (link) : URL + DESCRIPTION
I would like to write in programmming a code which allows to checks before to add a new item if this item exists or not into the list in using only the DESCRIPTION or URL field.
Like this :
if(DESCRIPTION !exists)
{ add item }
else{ show message : the site exists }

Hi,
We can use event receiver to achieve your requirement. The following code for your reference:
using System;
using System.Security.Permissions;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow;
namespace SharePointProject5.EventReceiver1
/// <summary>
/// List Item Events
/// </summary>
public class EventReceiver1 : SPItemEventReceiver
/// <summary>
/// An item is being added.
/// </summary>
public override void ItemAdding(SPItemEventProperties properties)
base.ItemAdding(properties);
if(properties.AfterProperties["SITE"]!=null)
string linkField=properties.AfterProperties["SITE"].ToString();
string urlValue = linkField.Split(',')[0];
if (CheckItemExists(properties.List, null, urlValue))
properties.Status = SPEventReceiverStatus.CancelWithError;
properties.ErrorMessage = "The site exists.";
private bool CheckItemExists(SPList list, SPFolder folder, string urlValue)
SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
if (folder != null)
query.Folder = folder;
query.Query = @"
<Where>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name='SITE' />
<Value Type='Text'>" + urlValue + @"</Value>
</Eq>
</Where>";
SPListItemCollection found = list.GetItems(query);
return (found.Count > 0);

Create Custom list form and validate fields using sharepoint designer 2010

Hi All,
I have a requirement to create a custom job application form which will be filled and submitted by anonymous users. I have a an option to create custom user control web part but I wanted to
create it using custom list form using SharePoint designer. My requirement is below
Date of birth (user age should be above 22yrs )
Email Validation
Phone validation
Resume attachment (should attach only word documents or PDF)
Qualification (If other is selected then show textbox else hide)
Can above validations be done using SharePoint designer (JavaScript or validation controls)? Or do I have to create custom control web part?
MercuryMan

Hello,
I think jquery/javascript can be used to put validations on those fields. Fortunately some of validation can be done via sharepoint itself like: email, phone, age. For Attachment and Qualification fields use jquery/JS.
See below link for column validations:
http://thechriskent.com/2012/08/15/validate-phone-number-columns-in-sharepoint/
http://sharepointsolutions.com/sharepoint-help/blog/2011/12/how-to-validate-an-email-address-using-column-validation-in-sharepoint-2010/
See this for attachment:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4234589/validation-of-file-extension-before-uploading-file
For qualification:

How to make read only field in Task list?

Hi All,
How to make read only field in Task list?

This can be done one of two ways:
1. Customize the form in Infopath, right click your field and disable the control.
2. Use JavaScript/jQuery on the page to disable the element.

Infopath 2013 - Values are not appearing in a drop down field referencing site column which uses lookup in custom list

I have a master custom list that has a set of site columns. For each site column there is a lookup to a custom list with reference data. When I edit the list in data entry view all values in drop down fields work fine, but when I customize the form for
the master list, no data appears in the drop down fields. I can change the data binding on the form so it references the the correct data and when I preview the form it works. But when I publish it, no data is available in these drop down fields.

Hi shakonarson,
According to your description, I try to reproduce your scenario but the lookup field works fine.
When we customize the form for the list in the InfoPath 2013 , it is by design that the Drop-Down List Box control cannot display its value.
For troubleshooting your issue, please take steps as below:
Go to lookup List Box on your form in InfoPath 2013 , right click it and choose “Drop-Down List Properties” from the bottom of your field menu.
Make Sure you select “Get choices from an external data source” and correct Data source.
Make Sure the Xpath of Entries is “d:SharePointListItem_RW” under the dataFields.
Here is a good blog for sorting lookup column DropDown by customizing your list form with InfoPath you can have a look:
Sort SharePoint lookup column Dropdown by customizing your list form
with InfoPath
Hope this helps!
