Sort promoted links tiles(Tiles View) in alphabetical order.

Hi,
i want to sort my promoted linked list tiles in alphabetical order. OOTB there is no option to sort promoted links tiles view .Any pointers on how to do this will be really helpful.

Hi,
If you would like to sort it by title automatically, you would modify Tiles view aspx page in SharePoint Designer.
Please open SharePoint Designer > All files > Lists > promoted link list > Tiles.aspx, then locate the below code:
<Query>
<OrderBy>
<FieldRef Name="TileOrder" Ascending="TRUE"/>
<FieldRef Name="Modified" Ascending="FALSE"/>
</OrderBy>
</Query>
Then replace it by the code below:
<Query>
<OrderBy>
<FieldRef Name="Title" Ascending="TRUE"/>
</OrderBy>
</Query>

Multiple Promoted Links Wrap Tiles

I am using promoted links web parts for a landing page menu and wanted to tile wrap, the link below was very helpful in seting up the script editor to make the promoted links tile wrap, but as I have 3 promoted link web parts they get jumbled up.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/19622.sharepoint-2013-promoted-links-wrap-tiles.aspx
Is there any quick way to modify the script code to allow for multiple promoted link web parts and still tile wrap?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to modify the script code to allow for multiple promoted link web parts and still tile wrap.
You can use the code as below, then all promoted link web parts in the page will tile wrap.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js "></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
var currentRow = 1
$('.ms-promlink-root').each(function () {
if ($(this).html() != "") {
var numberOfLinksPerRow = 4;
// local variables
var pre = "<tr><td><div class='ms-promlink-body' id='promlink_row_";
var post = "'></div></td></tr>";
var numberOfLinksInCurrentRow = numberOfLinksPerRow;
// find the number of promoted links we're displaying
var numberOfPromotedLinks = $(this).find('.ms-promlink-body > .ms-tileview-tile-root').length;
// if we have more links then we want in a row, let's continue
if (numberOfPromotedLinks > numberOfLinksPerRow) {
// we don't need the header anymore, no cycling through links
$(this).find('.ms-promlink-header').empty();
// let's iterate through all the links after the maximum displayed link
for (i = numberOfLinksPerRow + 1; i <= numberOfPromotedLinks; i++) {
// if we're reached the maximum number of links to show per row, add a new row
// this happens the first time, with the values set initially
if (numberOfLinksInCurrentRow == numberOfLinksPerRow) {
// i just want the 2nd row to
currentRow++;
// create a new row of links
$(this).find('table > tbody:last').append(pre + currentRow + post);
// reset the number of links for the current row
numberOfLinksInCurrentRow = 0
} // move the Nth (numberOfLinksPerRow + 1) div to the current table row
$(this).find('.ms-promlink-body > .ms-tileview-tile-root:nth-child(' + (numberOfLinksPerRow + 1) + ')').appendTo($('#promlink_row_' + currentRow));
// increment the number of links in the current row
numberOfLinksInCurrentRow++;

Can Rules in Mail be viewed in Alphabetical Order? How is this done?

Can Rules in Mail be viewed in Alphabetical Order? How is this done?

The default tables in the "Blank" templates in numbers contain one Header Row and one Header column. These rows and columns have special properties, including the ability to be 'frozen' in place as the rest of the table is scrolled.
Place your headings in a Header Row or a Header Column.
In the Table menu, you'll find "Freeze Header Rows" and "Freeze Header columns."
"Freeze" does not apply in Print view, where Header Rows and Columns are repeated on each 'page'.
Regards,
Barry
PS:For more on header and Footer rows/columns (and other features of Numbers), read the first four chapters of the numbers '09 User Guide. You can download the guide via the Help menu in Numbers'09. search "freeze" for more on freezing header rows, etc.

Photos for iOS: How can i sort all of my albums automatically in alphabetical order

Hey there,
first off, why isn't there a a community for the new Photos app?
Anyway, here is my problem:
How can i sort my albums on the new Photos app on iOS?
I think it's not possible at the moment.
I am using the iCloud Photo library and uploadet all of my 15.000 photos from the last 15 years.
And because of that, i now have many many albums on Photos now.
Overall i love the new app and i love the iCloud Photo library, but i cannot sort my albums on the iOS app automatically in alphabetical order.
I can sort albums manual, but who wants that, when you have so many of them???
I have Photos on my Mac too and there i am able to do sort them in alphabetical order. But it is not adopted to iOS or the iCloud Web-App.
Because of that, i have a complete picture chaos on my iPhone and when i am looking for this one pic in that one album it takes me forever to find it.
So please Apple, fix this and we all can live happily ever after!
Thank you!

Moments in Photo are the new Events. T
here's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When the library was first migrated there was a folder created titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events are represented by an album in the folder. To open the sidebar if it's not open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window showing all of the albums.
The downside to this simulation is that the Album/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title while viewed in the Folder in the main window or in the sidebar. But they can be sorted manually.
Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

Can you create two separate tile views for a Promoted Links List

I have lots of pages on my site where i want the effect of the promoted links list tile view. However, i don't want the same links to show up on every spot i use it. Is there not a way to create separate tile views so you can create filtering conditions?
Right now i am stuck having 5 separate lists with 5 items in each because of this limitation. Am i missing something?
I look forward to your responses.
~Zach

There is an easy way to do this.
Add columns to the Promoted Links list.
Add a column named Page.
Type in name of the page on which you would like this link to appear.
Add a column named Row.
Create a view filtered by page name and Row. Example: Show only when Page = HomePage AND Row = 1
Create another view filtered by page name and another Row. Example: Show only when Page = HomePage AND Row = 2.
Go the page you would like the links to appear. Edit the Page.
Add Promoted Links app part (still not used to the app thing) and select your view for Row 1
Add another Promoted Links app part and select the view for Row 2.
Lather, Rinse and Repeat.

Export wizard creates views in alphabetical versus dependency order

Oracle SQL Developer 3.1.07 on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit
Oracle Database Oracle EE 11gR1 64-bit on OEL 5.4 64-bit
====================================
Export tool (Tools-> Database Export) generates DDL for views in alphabetical order instead of dependency order, hence running generated .sql file fails to create views.
Tool does seem to generate DDL in correct order for objects in general (i.e., tables before constraints).
Is there something I am missing in the tool that will ensure the DDL for views is generated in the correct order?
Thank you.

No - you aren't missing anything.
Views can be dependent on tables, other views, procedures, functions, packages, synonyms. Each of those can have its own dependencies which will now include object types, database links and others. The dependency chain looks like a tree.
In general it isn't always possible to generate everything in 'dependency' order since objects can be dependent on many other objects of different types and you can have situations where there are circular references.

Promoted Links, can't edit the tile

Happy New year!
Discovered today the Promoted Link feature, put in png icons, working ok except one. And can't edit it.
In the ITEMS tab I can click on "New Item" this opens the window to add another link/tile. But the "Edit Item" is greyed out. I don't know how to select the bad link/tile to be able to edit it. Or how to get to the window/list where I
put in the 3 initial icons, 2 still work, the other can't edit.
I am using SP Online, and it is my account as I am the admin. (just learning/playing with SP)
The first time I deleted the app and started over, but now it's doing it again.
How can I fix this?
Pierre
I just answered my own question, so will post this anyway, for others.

I'm not sure what view you are using so I'll try my best the promoted links app is basically a share point list that hen you add to a page provides a nice way to display links . You should see the '...' These three dots represent more options if you select
it and click edit item properties you will be able to edit the item If the view you are on is the thumbnail view switch it over to all items which will out it into a simple columns and rows type view which will allow you to so the more options on the items
and edit the specific item itself.

Promoted Links Tile Background Image Size Issue

I am brand new to using sharepoint and I am having an issue with the images attached to the promoted link tiles. No matter what size I change the file too, I can not get the tile to show the whole pictures.
I have tried changing the image size for multiple different pictures in both photoshop and illustrator to 128px and 150px, with no luck!
Does anyone have any advice on how to make the pictures fit in the tiles or how to start with an illustrator or indesign image and format it correctly to display in the tile view?
As many details as possible will help since I just started using this program!
Thank you!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is the promoted link tile can’t show the whole image.
By default, When image with a blank space around, it would be transformed properly in promote link tile, I suggest you modify the image to make it with blank space around.
For about modifying image, I suggest you post a question to the corresponding forum such as Photoshop forum:

Feel free to reply if there are still any questions.

Apply Different Background Color to Promoted Links Tiles

Hello everyone,
Does anybody know a way of changing the background color of each individual tile of Promoted Links? If possible, and if anybody is familiar, I would like to do it using a JS Link file.
Thanks in advanced.
Fausto Capellan, Jr - SharePoint Admin

Hi Fausto,
You could try the script below to set color without randomly change:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
var id;
var rgb;
var rgb1;
var rgb2;
var rgb3;
for (var i = 0; i < $("div.ms-tileview-tile-content").length; i++){
id = $("div.ms-tileview-tile-content")[i].id;
if(i%2 == 0){
rgb1 = getRgb(0,i);
rgb2 = getRgb(50,i);
rgb3 = getRgb(150,i);
}else{
rgb1 = getRgb(150,i);
rgb2 = getRgb(50,i);
rgb3 = getRgb(0,i);
rgb = "rgb("+rgb1+","+rgb2+","+rgb3+")";
$("#"+id).css("background-color",rgb);
function getRgb(n,i){
var rgbNum = n + i *25;
if (rgbNum < 255){
return rgbNum;
}else{
getRgb(1,1);
</script>
Please set the parameter “n” with number per your situation in the function getRgb(n,i). The screenshot below is my result:

Promoted Links Tiles

I am having an issue with the images attached to the promoted link tiles. No matter what size I change the file too, I can not get the tile to show the whole pictures.
Does anyone have any advice on how to make the pictures fit in the tiles?
Thank you!

I would suggest going with a square size. Either 64x64 or 128x128. Also, try other pictures to make sure it's just an issue with that particular picture.

Sort my bookmarks in drop down lists in alphabetical order not just in Library Views

When I click on Bookmarks then select a folder to view its contents, I want to see those contents in alphabetical order By Name, not in the hpahazard order in which they were added. I know I can View them in the Library List in alphabetical order or change that to something else. But I want tp make the drop down list and the folder contents to be in alphabetical order all the time.

The Views menu in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) is for viewing the bookmarks in a different sorting order (hence the name Views) and doesn't sort bookmarks permanently.<br />
Clicking the column header does the same sorting for viewing purposes only.<br />
If you want to sort bookmarks then you need to right-click a folder and use "Sort By Name" to sort that folder.

Promoted Links Rollup and CQWP / CSWP

I would like to do the following:
Have Promoted Links List Type on certain key sub sites.
Using a CQWP or CSWP roll up the Promoted Links to a main landing page, including images that are used in the PromotedLink (albeit smaller). I have seen a few examples of CSWP where there is a small image on the left, that is what I would like to accomplish,
but have it be ONLY Promoted Links
Furthermore, the link for the item being returned in the query should not be a link to the item itself, but it should be the link it is actually linking to... :)
I seem to be struggling with how to accomplish this in either CQWP or CSWP
For example in CQWP, I am able to return all the items from all the ListType=Promoted Links. But I cannot get any images to to display, and of course, the link coming back in the query is a link to the actual Promoted Link item, as opposed to the actual
link, and I cannot successfully replace the Link property with the "Link Location" field coming from the Promoted Link item.
In CSWP, I cannot seem to query based on the correct Content Type, and I am also getting no images back at all.
To me, rolling up Promoted Links in this fashion seems like it should be a slam-dunk, but it is not, unless there is something I am missing.
Can someone please tell me if what I am trying to accomplish is possible without a lot of extra work, or should I move on to another method?
Thank you
DWM

I did find this article, and I tried it. the problem is that is appears as though I have other content types in there that start with 0x00 as this Site Collection contains some old upgraded content from 2007.
I find it only works cleanly when I include the entire ContentID from each list, which is cumbersome.
I am still unsure how to proceed with this. What I would really like is to be able to rollup Promoted Links in the same horizontal manner, and have a single list of links on the landing page. It might look similar to how the Windows 8 internet
explorer Frequent tiles look. So you could have a single promoted-link looking control on the front page that would rollup all promoted links and you could scroll side-to-side to see all the promoted links.
I realize this can be accomplished by creating a single Promoted Links list object at the base of the Site Collection,but that is also cumbersome. It would be nice to have site owners maintain their own promoted links and have it rollup to
the top automatically.
Of course this is also hindered by the fact that you cannot get CSWP to present horizontally OOB, and even if I used summary links, I would have to compact the view by using groups and spacing etc is not optimally without a lot of extra work, which I was
hoping to avoid in the interest of time
Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Show Promoted Links ListView on Parent Site

I've got a Parent Team Web Site with a Sub-Community Site.
Now I want to show the promoted Links listviewwebpart form the Categories (Sub-Community Site) on the Homepage of my Parent Site.
Is there a way to achieve this?

Hi Stefan,
You can follow these steps to achieve this goal,
1.Go to Sub-Community site promoted links list from SharePoint Designer.
2.Then replace the WebId value in list view web part in Tiles.aspx page with the actual value got by powershell per the following article.
3.Then save the page, then put the cursor in web part and save the web part to the site gallery.
4.Then the promoted webpart can be inserted in parent team web site.

Promoted links limit?

Is there a limit on Promoted links as not all the links seem to be displaying under tiles?
We have 43 promoted links.

You are right. The default page is restricting the number of tiles to 30. If you want to change the row limit, you need to update open the page in SharePoint designer and update the value in view tag.
<View Name="{FE96330A-0C21-4FF2-8C07-0F0A881C1743}" DefaultView="TRUE" MobileDefaultView="TRUE" Type="HTML" ReadOnly="TRUE" OrderedView="TRUE" DisplayName="Tiles" Url="/Lists/Promoted/Tiles.aspx" Level="1" BaseViewID="1" ContentTypeID="0x" ><Query><OrderBy><FieldRef Name="TileOrder" Ascending="TRUE"/><FieldRef Name="Modified" Ascending="FALSE"/></OrderBy></Query><ViewFields><FieldRef Name="Title"/><FieldRef Name="BackgroundImageLocation"/><FieldRef Name="Description"/><FieldRef Name="LinkLocation"/><FieldRef Name="LaunchBehavior"/><FieldRef Name="BackgroundImageClusterX"/><FieldRef Name="BackgroundImageClusterY"/></ViewFields><RowLimit Paged="TRUE">30</RowLimit><JSLink>sp.ui.tileview.js</JSLink><XslLink Default="TRUE">main.xsl</XslLink><Toolbar Type="Standard"/></View></XmlDefinition>
Yes you can configure the sequence of the tiles by using column 'TileOrder'.
Here is the snippet used to create more tiles on the fly.
using (SPSite oSite = new SPSite("http://Server2013"))
using (SPWeb oWeb = oSite.RootWeb)
SPList oList = oWeb.Lists["Promoted"];
SPListItemCollection items=oList.Items;
//while (items.Count > 0)
// items[0].Delete();
for (int i = 0; i < 155; i++)
SPListItem oSPListItem = oList.Items.Add();
oSPListItem["Title"] = "Hello SharePoint"+i;
oSPListItem["LinkLocation"] = "http://location"+i;
oSPListItem["LaunchBehavior"] = "In page navigation";
oSPListItem["TileOrder"] = i+1;
oSPListItem.Update();
After this change, I'm able to see all the tiles like below.
