"To do" list items detached from from iCal

I don't even remember why I did this in the first place-- but I somehow changed my iCal settings so that when I create a new "To Do" item, a separate info window pops up--rather than the one that just slides out to the right or left of the calendar. It's really annoying-- makes it so that I have to use the mouse rather than just keyboard shortcuts. But I can't seem to reverse it! Help?

AndiM,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Just open the Info Window and you will find an "Attach Info" command in the iCal>Window menu.

Convert list item attachment from docx to pdf using Word Automation Services

I have been trying to convert List Item attachments from docx to pdf using word automation services, it works in a normal document library but when I use the list attachment it throws a null reference error.
var settings = new ConversionJobSettings();
settings.OutputFormat = Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Conversions.SaveFormat.PDF;
var conversion = new ConversionJob("Word Automation Services", settings);
conversion.UserToken = SPContext.Current.Site.UserToken;
var wordFile = SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb.Url + "/" + wordForm.Url;
var pdfFile = wordFile.Replace(".docx", ".pdf");
conversion.AddFile(wordFile, pdfFile);
conversion.Start();
Using reflector I was able to see my problem lies in Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.FolderIterator.cs where it uses SPFile.Item which returns NULL
internal void CheckSingleItem(SPFile inputFile, SPFile outputFile)
Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.TraceTag(0x67337931, Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.Category.ObjectModel, Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.Level.Verbose, "OM: FolderIterator start a single item: source='{0}'; dest='{1}'", new object[] { inputFile.Url, outputFile.Url });
Stopwatch stopwatch = Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.StartPerfStopwatch();
try
this.CheckInputFile(inputFile.Item);
this.CheckOutputFile(outputFile.Url);
Is there any way to get around this?

Hi Qfroth,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you use word automation service to convert Word to PDF for list item attachment, it throws the null reference error.
I suggest you can create an event receiver and convert the word to memory stream like below:
private byte[] ConvertWordToPDF(SPFile spFile, SPUserToken usrToken)
byte[] result = null;
try
using (Stream read = spFile.OpenBinaryStream())
using (MemoryStream write = new MemoryStream())
// Initialise Word Automation Service
SyncConverter sc = new SyncConverter(WORD_AUTOMATION_SERVICE);
sc.UserToken = usrToken;
sc.Settings.UpdateFields = true;
sc.Settings.OutputFormat = SaveFormat.PDF;
// Convert to PDF
ConversionItemInfo info = sc.Convert(read, write);
if (info.Succeeded)
result = write.ToArray();
catch (Exception ex)
// Do your error management here.
return result;
Here is a detailed code demo for your reference:

Moving a List Item attachment from one list to another

Hi,
What are the best way of coping / moving the List Item attachment using
jQuery / JavaScript in SharePoint 2013 from one list to another.
Thanks
Saroj
Impossible is nth but good coding :-)

For your needs better try to code your own solution. See
SharePoint JavaScript Class Library for details. You can have two possible architectures:
Make all work from JavaScript. And the first your step will be
addItem method of SP.List.
Make processing of selection on client in JavaScript and call your custom server-side component (may be an application page) for items copying (creating copies in new list of already existed items from initial list.). See
this for example.
Also be careful with context.load. It's recommended to write all next code in context.executeQueryAsync. Use Firebug in FF and developer tools in Chrome for debugging your code and to find what is wrong.
Or

<script type="text/javascript">
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(retrieveListItems, "sp.js");
var siteUrl = 'Site Url';
function retrieveListItems() {
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext(siteUrl);
var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('List1');
var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
camlQuery.set_viewXml('<View><Query><Where><Geq><FieldRef Name=\'ID\'/>' +
'<Value Type=\'Number\'>1</Value></Geq></Where></Query><RowLimit>10</RowLimit></View>');
this.collListItem = oList.getItems(camlQuery);
clientContext.load(collListItem);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
function onQuerySucceeded(sender, args) {
var listItemInfo = '';
var listItemEnumerator = collListItem.getEnumerator();
while (listItemEnumerator.moveNext()) {
var objListItem = listItemEnumerator.get_current();
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext(siteUrl);
var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('List2');
var itemCreateInfo = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation();
this.oListItem = oList.addItem(itemCreateInfo);
oListItem.set_item('Title', objListItem.get_item('Title'));
oListItem.update();
clientContext.load(oListItem);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceededFinal), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
function onQuerySucceededFinal(sender, args) {
//Do next set of operation if needed
</script><input name="btnVarIQReject" onclick="retrieveListItems()" type="button" value="Submit"/>
Please use my above POC code to start. This will copy all the title field value from list1 to list2

Send Email with Contents of List Item (not from workflow)

End users have requested the capability to email a single list item, with all its data (by which they mean the data they see in their view), to an address to be entered on the fly. In other words, they want an option in the ECB or ribbon where
they would fill in a box with an email address (not necessarily a SharePoint user) and the contents of the selected list item would be sent out by the portals email, which is already configured.
My searching has found similar solutions involving workflows, but nothing in the way of an 'on-demand' type of process. If this is something that needs to be developed, I am not afraid to jump in, but am hoping there might be something I can leverage already
in place.
I would appreciate any ideas on this.
Echo Train Nashville TN

Hi Echo Train,
I would still look at using a Workflow for this. Easiest option to setup and maintain, and
you can still enter an email (or multiple emails) on demand.
For the List Workflow click on Initiation Parameters and add one with
Field name of Email for example.
Description (something like): "Please enter the email(s) you wish to send the list item information. Separate each email with a semi colon ;"
Information type: Single line of text
Default value: leave it blank
Next add a Send an Email action with the following settings:
To: Select from existing Users and Groups > Workflow Lookup for a User...
> Data source: Workflow Variables and Parameters
> Field from source: Parameter: Email
> Return field as: As String
Then setup your Subject and Body using the Fields from the Current List Item
Save the Workflow then go back into the Workflow settings and ensure that: Allow this workflow to be manually started is the only option selected.
Publish the workflow and your users should now be able to click on the Workflow with the ability to enter one or more emails.
There are other options apart from using a Workflow such as setting up an Action with some ECMA script, but much more difficult to create and maintain, which in this instance I would still opt for the Workflow solution.

How to download list item attachment from display.aspx

Im uploading documents
to list item in list by
using file upload control. Now I should download that file. I can able to insert documents into list item in attachment column which is predefined but am how can I download the attachments by clicking on the link in display.aspx.
I have written this for uploadFile controller.
SPSite site = SPContext.Current.Site;
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
SPList list = web.Lists["list2"];
//SPListItem itemId = list.GetItemById(5);
int itemId=3;
SPListItem newItem = list.GetItemById(itemId);
byte[] contents = null;
if (FileUpload1.PostedFile != null && FileUpload1.HasFile)
using (Stream fileStream = FileUpload1.PostedFile.InputStream)
contents = new byte[fileStream.Length];
fileStream.Read(contents, 0, (int)fileStream.Length);
fileStream.Close();
SPAttachmentCollection attachments = newItem.Attachments;
string fileName = Path.GetFileName(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName);
attachments.Add(fileName, contents);
newItem["CLMSAttachments"] = fileName;
newItem.Update();
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
It is your browser that decides to download/open the file.
If you have compatible client software for the file (word for docx) your computer will by default automatically try to open it.
But we can force the download. You have to develop a handler/aspx page that will just handle the file download and you have to override the http header "content-disposition" to "attachment;filename=yourfilename"
Here a sample :
var fileName = "myfile.sql";
var r = context.Response;
r.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName);
r.ContentType = "text/plain";
r.WriteFile(context.Server.MapPath(fileName));
Hope that will help you

Order of to-do list when printed from iCal

I want to print my to-do list in 'title' order. I use "list" in the print dialog. The to-do list is printing in some sequence only iCal seems to know. My 'view' in iCal IS by 'title'. Any suggestions?

This has been a flaw in iCal for as long as I can remember. I've emailed a suggestion to fix this, but each new version of iCal continues this strangely dumb feature.

CAML Query to Sort SharePoint list items based on Modified date

hi ,
can we sort sharePoint list items based on 'Modified' column, the sorting should be done up to milliseconds level.
currently i am using CAML query as below
<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='Modified' Type='DateTime' IncludeTimeValue='TRUE' Ascending='False'/></OrderBy>but its not considering milliseconds while sorting.
Thanks and Regards,
venkatesh.

Veda, thanks but I'm not really a hardcore C# coder.
We found more elegant solution was to create a List View which returns all records that should be deleted, based on our own custom deletion criteria, and then create an very simple SSIS Package in Visual Studio using the
Sharepoint Connectors for SSIS to delete all Sharepoint List Items returned from that List View. The Sharepoint Destination Connector has a delete operation.
This worked for us and didn't require any coding.

Condition that checks the value of an Item derived from a select list

I want to conditionally display and hide items in a region based on a select list item.
Some items will display when the select list is at the default (%null%) and others will be displayed when the select list user selects from the select list.
The display is then updated when the "SAVE" button is pressed and the page processed.
How do I test the select list item to be null. The condition looks like this;
Type: PL/SQL Expression
:P1_SELECT is null
I also tried, :P1_SELECT is not null and :P1_SELECT = '%nul%'.
The latter changed the condition to :P1_SELECT = ''
How can I test the valu in P1_SELECT?
tia,
Sam
Message was edited by:
After a long day I saw that I did not write the condition correctly. Mea culpa.
slavanaway

I had the problem wrong.
The issue was a second field that could have a Y or N or null. When I checked it in PL/SQL expression as
:P_YN != 'Y' and :P_SELECT is null
assuming the null condition would resolve as != 'Y' I had to do an explicit check as
(:P_YN != 'Y' or :P_YN is null) and :P_SELECT is null
That fixed it.... I like null and I hate null
Thanks for the reply

How can I delete null values from List Item?

Hi Friends,
I used List item for field job_Type, I entered values in List item at design time through property pallet. When I run form I will see null values in this List Item.
How can I remove these null values from the List?
Best regards,
Shahzad

Dear Shahzad,
It can be removed by adding the following code in the When-new-Form-Instance.
Set_item_property('List name', required, property_true);
:block_name.list_name := <put your default value here>; (If you didn't oput the default value, then you will get some problem and the cursor may not navigate away from the list).

How to create a multi column list item and select these values from a LOV

Hi all,
My requirements are:
1) create an LOV which holds the productno, productname and productprice fields (this is working)
2) at run time, select one record from LOV and populate the list/grid with this selected record values of productno, productname and productprice fields, so we are showing them on the form in the form of a table/grid (not working)
3) be able to select multiple records from LOV and be able to populate the list item with multiple records (not working)
4) have two more columns in the list/grid, for productquatity and total price (not wokring)
Please help me.
how can i create this grid or list in oracle
whats the possible way of acheiving this in oracle

If you use a list item to display multiple columns then you'll need to use a fixed-width font. You can achieve a similar look with proportional fonts by using a normal block and setting the fields' bevel to 'None'.
Each column in the LOV has a Return Item property (under Column Mapping Properties). Set this to a :block.item reference for each column to bring the data back into those referenced fields.
You can't select multiple records from an LOV. For this you will need to create your own form. Check the help for system.mouse_button_modifiers to see how to respond to Ctrl+click and Shift+click.
To add columns just modify the LOV's record group's query.

Prevent multiple users from accessing a list item at the same

Hi,
I have a scenario where, if a list item is opened (in edit mode) by one user, no other user should able to access it. I mean to checkin/checkout kind of thing which is not possible with sharepoint lists.
One thing that I have done through infopath 2010, by setting a rule on form load. On form load, set a field's value Assigned To to Current User and then submit data. In case I am getting value of Assigned To getting stored in the list as a new record
along with all the values from previous fields.
I want to update the same record not the duplicate record.
Please suggest a solution for it.

Hi
add a new column to your list COL_EDITING( type yes, no )
Default value : NO
Customize your editform.aspx attached to your form, when it open
A. analyze if COL_EDITING=NO
If it isn;t alert an error message ( the item is in edit mode by another user ) , and close the page
if it is --->
B to fill COL_EDITING=YES
and next permit user to fill the fields in the form

How do I remove a lunar calendar from Ical -- it is not listed as a calendar in Ical

How do I remove a lunar calendar from Ical -- it is not listed as a calendar in Ical when I open Ical

Look at some of the lunar events, and see what keywords they are using - eg moon or phase. Use one of those keywords in the search box. Find the earliast occurence in the list and delete it. This may take out all subsequent occurences, or you may have to delete them individually.

Calendar missing from iCal's list.

Noticed today that our Work calendar is missing from iCal's list. Checked partner's iMac, iPad, 2 iPhones, MobileMe. Missing from all of them. Turned off syncing with MobileMe on both iMacs & all other devices. Quit iCal/Calendar on everything.
In Finder window selected ~/Library. Entered Time Machine. Selected ~/Library/Calendars. Selected a timeline a few days back. Clicked Restore. Said 'Keep both', & removed original from Library folder.
Opened iCal. When it first loaded the calendars, Work was there, but it quickly disappeared and what's more, events added in other calendars since the timeline date chosen were there too. So there's something else (to do with Sync Services?) I need to turn off or delete....?
I'll be very grateful for enlightenment here.
OS is 10.6.8

These are evidently MobileMe calendars, to which the Apple Tech Note linked to above does not apply; and turning off syncing in System Preferences>MobileMe>Sync has no effect on iCal syncing which no longer uses that method.
This is why your calendar is disappearing: MobileMe sees it as deleted, so every time you add it back in from Time Machine (whereupon it has an earlier modification date than the deletion) MobileMe brings it up to date by deleting it, and also updates the other calendars.
There is a method for dealing with this issue, though it's a trifle complicated and you need to work through the steps carefully and exactly. The process is detailed here:

Open references of other list items from a list item in the same window or tab

Hi there,
We have migrated from lotus notes to sharepoint. We have converted the lotus notes forms to sharepoint forms. Basically the list items are pages and there are links of other pages in a page.
My problem is I want to open the other pages in the same tab or window and not in a separate window.(currently the links open in a separate window which is not the requirement.)
In terms of sharepoint I would say,
I have references(links) to other list items of the list in a single list item. I want to open the other list items in the same window (tab).
How can we achieve this?? If possible without much codes??
Please suggest.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
