Site Definition with Custom List Intance with Custom fields

How to create VS 2012 > Site Definition with Custom List Instance with Custom fields?
<site>
<list>
<field>

Hi Sunil,
it is the same way we create in VS 2010.
Add a new empty SP project in VS2012 and then add, site, list and fields as per your requirement.
Here are few references-

Walkthrough: Create a Basic Site Definition Project
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee231583.aspx
and I normally create a blank site with all required configuration and then create, import the template to hand craft the list and fields. this would minimize errors.
see the below blog on this topic

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://sharepointsolutions.com/sharepoint-help/blog/2011/12/how-to-validate-an-email-address-using-column-validation-in-sharepoint-2010/
See this for attachment:

Automatically populate custom list column with site name when list is created

Hi All,
I am using a CQWP to display selected contacts on subsites from one master contact list on the parent site. Each subsite is for a different project and is named according to the project number. In the master contact list I have a custom column called Projects
that is populated with the various different project numbers that an individual contact is involved with.
The CQWP on the subsite filters the results based on the Projects column of the master contact list. As it stands I have to manually input this job number into the CQWP's properties. What I would like to happen is for the project number (the subsite name)
to automatically be input to the filter value.
The closet I have come to reaching my desired behaviour is by adding a column to the Site Pages list called Title and setting the filter value to [PageFieldValue:Title]. This still doesn't get the automatic behaviour I require because I still have to input
the project number into the Title column manually, but it is quicker than editing the CQWP properties.
What I need to achieve is either a way of automatically populating this column with the subsite name or find a way for the CQWP to pick up the subsite name and filter its results accordingly.
I have found this article http://www.andrewconnell.com/blog/Subclassing-the-Content-Query-Web-Part-Adding-Dynamic-Filtering which seems to be along the lines of what I want to achieve, but it is by no means a walk through and while I'm not completely
unfamiliar with coding, I don't know enough to implement it without help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've been working on this for weeks on and off!
Thanks in advance,
Dan

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.

Need help with dependent lists boxes with ADF.

Hello,
I am doing a project that use tree dependent list boxes.
Ex. State---->
College---->
List of courses of the college chosen above----->
The way this should work is when I select the state automatically I want it to change to the correspondent list of colleges of that state and after i choose the colleges I want to be able to get all the courses that are given in that college.
To implement the first two list boxes I create tree views on JDeveloper and and using SelectOneChoice for both State and Colleges. In the binding editor I bind the first View with the second and then the second view with the third and at this point if I execute the first SelectOneChoice would give me all the state and the second SelectOneChoice would give me the list of all the colleges that exist.
Now on the third view that I create a binding variable and i put a Where state=:TheBindingVariable on the query.
Also I set the first SelectOneChoice the outoSubmit property to true, id to StateId and PartialTrigger property to CollegeId.
On pageDef.xml in the bindings I create action form where I select the third view from Date Collection and select Action as ExecuteWithParams. And I set the value under the parameters section to #{bindings.state.inputValue}.
Under executables still in pageDef.xml I create a invokeAction and I set binds = ExecuteWithParams.
On first SelectOneChoice on the ChangeValueListener i create a new ManageBeans which generate me a java class and I create a new method as well to use it to change the binding variable on the second SelectOneChoice.
Here is the method:
public void Change_StateId(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
String StateId;
valueChangeEvent.setPhaseId(PhaseId.INVOKE_APPLICATION);
FacesContext adi = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ValueBinding vb = adi.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{bindings}");
DCBindingContainer bc = (DCBindingContainer)vb.getValue(adi);
if(valueChangeEvent.getNewValue().toString().equals("0")){
StateId = "MA";
OperationBinding opBindingCollegeLovIter = (OperationBinding) bc.get("ExecuteWithParams");
opBindingCollegeLovIter.getParamsMap().put("TheState",StateId);
opBindingCollegeLovIter.execute();
}else{
DCIteratorBinding statesLovIter = (DCIteratorBinding) bc.get("CollegeProvaView1Iterator");
Row rw = statesLovIter.getRowAtRangeIndex(((Integer)valueChangeEvent.getNewValue()).intValue());
StateId = (String) rw.getAttribute("State");
OperationBinding opBindingCollegeLovIter = (OperationBinding) bc.get("ExecuteWithParams");
opBindingCollegeLovIter.getParamsMap().put("TheState",StateId);
opBindingCollegeLovIter.execute();
I don't know what I have done wrong because I am new in this field and a little support would be really helpful.
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.1.0 and Oracle SOA Suite 10.1.3.1.0.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks a lot.

For some reason the first selectonechoice doesn't give me all the states that are in the database it gives me just the first 10.check the value of RangeSize for itarator in pageDef. in this case to show all items it must be set to -1
Also there is a way to assign the first value of the first selectonechoice to null at the start.this is a problematic requirement since all items are bound to iterator and basically this should serve for navigation purpose so the first item is set as selected, but maybe some workaround exists...

Project Site custom list data reporting with Odata connection, BI reports in Project online 2013.

Hi,
Can we create an excel report with Odata feed connection which includes project site custom list data?
Example: My Project is "ProjectTest" and it has a project site in which i created a custom list "ProjectNotes" with some new columns. I want to include these columns in my report.
sandeep

Hello,
when using the SharePoint ODATA or REST APIs each list and site would have a different endpoint URL. Some example URLs are below:
REST API:
https://test.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/Project01Test/_api/Web/Lists/getByTitle('ProjectNotes')/Items
https://test.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/Project01Test/_api/Web/Lists/getByTitle('Risks')/Items
ODATA SVC:
https://test.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/Project01Test/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Issues
https://test.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/Project01Test/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/ChangeRequests
The down site is that in Excel you cant dynamically update the connection URL so would have to add all of these in manually and create the data models - I guess this is ok if you don't have many projects and don't create many new projects. In code such as
JavaScript it is easy and you can build up the URL dynamically using variables like below:
projSiteUrl + "/_api/Web/Lists/getByTitle('ProjectNotes')/Items"
The options to explore to see if you have make this dynamic and get the data you want are:
Potentially look at the search API and use that in Excel:

Power Query:
http://blog.oraylis.de/2013/05/using-dynamic-parameter-values-in-power-query-queries/
JavaScript (put the data on a page), example:

Or bring the data down to a custom SQL database table and report of that data:

SharePoint Custom New Form with DataForm Webpart SharePoint 2010

Hi Guys,
i have a Problem with my Custom NewForm.ASPX. I Created a CustomForm like this Guide:
http://www.ilikesharepoint.de/2013/11/sharepoint-create-custom-list-forms-with-visual-studio-part-2/
Problem
Now i set the DataFormWebpart for the Webpartzone on visible=False and add my custom DataformWebpart in this NewForm.aspx (see Code).
After my deployment and click on "New item" i can see my custom DataForm Webpart.
The Problems are:
1. The Ribbon is Greyed out
This post was not my solution. The Ribbons is not greyed out but the Ribbon has no function ("save Button" is broken)
2. The Fields are not loaded and looks like a Displayform
I Don't know why the Dataform does not load these fields. I can see the title but not the text Columns or lookups
3. Save Button and the Ribbon does not work
Only the Cancel button work on this Newform.aspx
The Save button has no function

Here my NewForm.aspx Link

How to map a custom enum list to a custom form property in an extended incident class

Hi,
I'm struggeling to understand how to map a custom enum list to a custom form property in an extended incident class.
Here's what i want to have happen:
I am going to publish a request offering on my SMPortal for allowing users to submit basic IT incidents. I want the form to include "Whom does this problem affect" (answers(This is the custom enum list): Me, Multiple Users, Whole department or Whole
company), "What is the problem about", "Description" and "Attachments".
Here's what i've done:
In the authoring tool i created a MP for the custom enum list and put only the list in it. I sealed the MP and imported it.
I created another unsealed MP called TST.Incident.Library for storing incident library customizations and extended the incident class to add an extension class i called ClassExtension_Affected scope with a custom property i called AffectedScope. Then i am trying
to set the datatype of this property to "list". In the "select a list" dialog i cannot chose my previously sealed MP with the custom enum list in it. Why?
- Do i need to scratch the sealed MP and put the custom enum list in the latter TST.Incident.Library MP instead?
- If so, can i do that and keep this MP unsealed, or will i get an error on import saying "Unsealed management packs should not contain type definitions"
- Should i create one sealed MP for both the custom enum list and the extension class + custom property?

Hi,
Authoring Tool simply isn't informed about your list. Open the sealed management pack where you define the root of the list in the Authoring Tool and in the same time open TST.Incident.Library. You will have two opened MPs in the Authoring
Tool and be able to add a custom list for your custom field.

Marat

Hey Happy,

Go to SE16 transaction enter the table KNVV then execute system will give the all customer which are maintaining sales area data.
Take the table KNA1 to get the general data customers list
Take the table KNB1 to the company code data customers list
I hope it will help you

Quick Edit Greyed out in Custom List

I have set up a SP 2013 environment using the trial software. I have created a new custom list using the
Custom List App. I've created all the columns and I just want to use Quick Edit to be able to cut and paste columns from an excel sheet (I'd prefer to import the excel sheet but that icon is missing!). Unfortunately, this is greyed out.
Just to test further, I created another custom list using the Custom List in DataSheet View
App - I can use Quick Edit in this list.
Is there a way to enable Quick Edit in my original list..? I don't want to recreate all the columns again - there are quite a few.
Thanks

I'm late to the game on this, but I just encountered the same issue. SP Foundation 2013 demo in a VM. Simple, four-column list. Nothing fancy. I have the box checked to 'Allow individual item checkboxes.
The important variable for me is that I set the view to display Newsletter style. That's what's causing the Quick Edit box to gray out (apparently, any choice other than Default causes this).
I found a resolution at https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2876824?wa=wsignin1.0 . Eventhough that page talks about SP Online, the proposed fix works on SPF also. Click
the List tab on the ribbon for your list. Then, click Modify View. Scroll down and click on the plus sign next to Style to expand that section. From the 'View Style' choices, select Default.

Bulk update site definition

Hi,
I'have migrated a wiki library from my Onprem SP 2013 to SP Online.
After the migration I noticed that most of the pages were plain white pages.
I then launched SharePoint designer and noticed a small "!" symbol. After reapplying the site definition, my pages were visible again.
Is there a way to automate the "Apply site definition" in bulk mode, either with a tool or with Powershell ?
Thanks.

I lost the ability to order and hide site columns if i use custom content type with a custom Create Form

I have a team site collection and I want to add a new App of type Issue Tracking list. so I did the following:-
From the site collection I created a new App of type issue tracking.
Then from the site collection I created a new Content type named “CustomIssue” which has its parent as “Issue” content type.
I went to the Issue tracking list and I changed the default content type from Issue , to the new “CustomeIssue” content type.
I open the site collection using SP designer and I created a new Create form for my Issue tracking list based on the "CustomIssue" content type and I select to have the Create form as the default form when creating an item.
Everything till this point worked well. But when I open the “customIssue” content type , and I re-order the columns and I hide some columns, this was not reflected inside the custom Create form …
although when using the default content type and the default create form you can control the order of the fields and to specify if certain fields hold be hidden inside the Create form.. so can anyone advice on this please?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you lost the ability to order and hide site columns if i use custom content type with a custom Create Form.
I try to reproduce the issue, the result is the same as yours.
As a workaround, if I modify the custom content type form the site setting, and then change the NewForm as the default form, it will change the column orders.
However, if I use the new created form as the default form, it will remain the original orders.
I recommend that you modify the custom content type form the site setting, and then reset the NewForm as the default form.
The result is as below:

Issue with dropdown menu on Custom List Form

Hello everyone,
Recently I created a custom list with a few lookup columns in it. When I open the form in Internet Explorer 9 or 10, the dropdowns pertaining to the lookup columns are extremently wide, even though each dropdown only contains 2 characters. However,
if I open the form in Google Chome, and Firefox, the dropdowns are displayed properly.
IE 9 Dropdown:
Chrome Dropdown:
If anybody has run into this issue and can point me in the right diretion, I will appreciate it. Thank you
Fausto Capellan, Jr - SharePoint Admin

Hi Fausto,
According to your description, my understanding is that the drop-down list boxes of the lookup column became wide when using IE 9 or 10.
Did you customize the list form in InfoPath?
Per my test, the width of the drop-down list boxes can be customized in InfoPath.
I tested in my environment, and the lookup column worked fine in IE 9 or 10.
I recommend to add the SharePoint site to Compatibility View in IE to see if the issue still occurs.
Best regards.
Thanks
