Update Sharepoint 2013 document library folder columns using document url

Hi All,
I have a SharePoint document library. In that library I am having folder name called Folder1. In this folder Folder1 I have 4 files in it. Now. I need to update the status column of these 4 files in Folder1 folder using the url of these 4 files.
So can anyone help me in to solve this problem. I am using SharePoint 2013 and Visual studio 2012. I want the code in C#.
Thanks & Regards,
Kishore

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to update the field within the folder.
I have made a simple code demo below to update the field within the folder, you can have a look at it.
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://YourSiteURL"))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
SPList list = web.Lists.TryGetList("Lib1");
if (list != null)
foreach (SPListItem folderItem in list.Folders)
if (folderItem.Title == "Folder1")
SPListItem item = list.GetItemById(5);
item["Status"] = "Updated";
item.Update();
Console.WriteLine("Field update successfully...");
Thanks & Regards,

Unable to see existing documents in a Custom Sharepoint 2013 Document library while saving a document directly in it using explorer mode

Hi,
We have a SharePoint 2013 doc library based on a custom template, which has been migrated from 2010.
We are unable to see existing documents in a Document library created using this template while saving a document directly in it using explorer mode, However we can save files and even see them in explorer mode, only when we try to save a new document there
directly, we cant see the old docs.
All the OOB libraries work fine.
Below is the normal behavior while saving a file, however nothing comes up when saving on this custom template library

Hi Tim,
Let’s verify the followings:
Whether this issue occurred for other lists in the same site.
Whether this issue occurred for all users who don’t have full control.
Whether this issue occurred on other sites.
When you created the people & group column, which show field did you used? Please try to use a different show field for the people & group column, compare the result.
In addition, please check if the link is useful:

I created a Pages document inserting 2 columns using 1) Inspector 2) Layout 3) columns. How do I decrease the height of the column. Have tried to use cursor and drag down the top border, but that does not reset the top border.

I created a Pages document inserting 2 columns using 1) Inspector 2) Layout 3) columns. How do I decrease the height of the column. Have tried to use the cursor and drag down the top border, but that does not reset/decrease the top border.

Set your columns back to one for the moment. In layout mode, insert a Text box. Place it in the upper left corner of your document, and drag down and right to the size of the container for your two columns. Click inside the Text Box, and now bump up your columns to 2. Your two columns are now contained in this resizable Text Box.

Displaying Document Name With The Summary in a Single Column Using Document Library View.

Hi All,
I have a question that relates to SharePoint Document Library Views. I want to view the Documents name with the summary in a single column. Below image shows an example of it. I need this within a SharePoint Document Library. Also I want the height of the
row to be increased more than the default height. I cannot figure it out how to do that? Could you someone help me to do this. I have inserted the Document Library as an App Part to the page.
So could you someone help me to solve this matter?
Thanks and regards,

HI Chiranthaka,
You can create DataView webpart using SPD and then modify the display template according to your need.

How to get Custom-Content-type Column Value of a Document Library-Folder

Hello
I have to add a custom-column(folder-imageURL) for Folders in a Document Library.
So I have created a Custom-CotentType "FolderCtype" with new column "folder-imageURL" and attached in the Document Library.
Whenever I create a new folder in that document library I will select my "FolderCtype" & and then add an image url in "folder-imageURL" column.
How do I access this image url in Code?
part of my code is as follows.
SPContentType cntType = List.ContentTypes["FolderCtype"];
SPField field = cntType.Fields.GetField("folder-imageURL"); //I have Field name here//
foreach (SPFolder folder in RtFolder.SubFolders)
                    if (folder.Name.ToUpper() != "FORMS")
                       string FolderName = folder.Name;
                      string FolderImageUrl = ?              //How can I get this????//
Thanks in advance

Hi, Patrickm, Thank You
If your “folder-imageURL” column is a “Hyperlink or Picture” column, then you can get the hyperlink like this:
SPListItem item = folder.Item;
if (item[field.Title] != null)
string FolderImageUrl = item[field.Title].ToString().Split(',')[0];
Console.WriteLine(FolderImageUrl);

SharePont 2013 Document Library lookup Column Properties not Showing Correctly when editing in Word

Hi
I keep seeing this issue albeit intermittently. I have set up a doc library for my users which has a custom content type (lookup, metadata columns, etc) . They all appear perfectly most of the time except the lookup column. Sometimes is just
decides to display the title field of the current library and not the lookup list title . It is weird as it has been working perfectly for ages given the library is populated with valid documents.
There are some fixes listed here. Has anyone got any experience of this?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the lookup column not display well while editing in word.
Did you customize the Document Information Panel?
I recommend you edit your custom document information panel or create a new document information panel, then re-publish it to check whether it works.

Or you can also use the methods in the post you have pasted to check whether it works.
As the limitation of the environment, we could not reproduce the issue in our environment.
I would suggest you open a case to Microsoft Customer Service via Phone.

Using SharePoint 2013 OIP the "Title" column is not displayed

Using the SharePoint 2013 OIP against our SharePoint 2013 environment, I am seeing that the "Title" column is never displayed in any of the activities or published data. This is the only limitation that is preventing me from using this OIP.
Currently using the scorch OIP and am concerned that it seems is not being actively maintained. Which by the way shows the Title column in all the same lists I am connecting to with the Microsoft provided OIP.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide,
Jim

Hi Jim, this is something I've seen before. It may be a bug in the SharePoint 2013 IP, though it does work in some cases and not in others, so difficult to say what the cause is. My recommendation is to change your list to make the default Title column optional
and hidden, and use a new custom field for the name of the item instead. See also:

MMS Hidden columns appearing in Document Library Settings / Column list

Hello all,
Before you read this please be aware that I have found a resolution (that might be helpful to others) but I am wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing and the cause.
Our scenario is as follows:
We use a Content Type hub
Most Content Types include one or more Managed metadata columns
The MMS Notes (hidden) columns (e.g. mms_column_name_0) have appeared on the 'Document Library Settings page under 'Columns' for 2 document libraries only. They appear under the actual name of the column (e.g. mms_column_name).
They are NOT visible to the user however (i.e. they are not selectable to be used in a view)
Looking at SharePoint Manager the mms Notes column's are marked as being Hidden = false. Altering this to true has the desired effect.
But has anyone else experienced the same issue as I'm inquisitive as to the cause.
The only thing I can think of that caused this to happen was us using 'Metadata navigation settings' (which allows you to configure navigation hierarchies) for the first time on one of the 2 Doc Libs effected . However, on testing it on other document
libraries the unhiding of columns has not occurred.
Can anyone shed any why this may have occurred?
Jason

Hi jasonl27,
this behaviour:
This is by design. Two separate lists do not have any type of relationship established to distinguish that the
columns are the same. For example, take an arbitrary column called "Position" being created on two different custom lists. Because the column Position is a custom column created
in the list, it has no mapping to other lists. The "Position"
in one list could refer to a title of a person
in one list, or a physical location on a different list. SharePoint cannot tell if these two items are the same or completely different. As a result, a new column name is added when we move the item.
perhaps you may try to do these steps:
$site = Get-SPSite -Identity "http://......../"
$web = $site.RootWeb
$field=$web.Fields["column name"]
$field.Update($true)
$field.Hidden= "True"
$web.Dispose()
$site.Dispose()

Cannot a file to document library with column validation

I have two problems
Problem#1: I can not create a file from C# code, If document library has a text column with Sharepoint column validation.
SharePoint throws exception if I invoke SPFileCollection.Add method.
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPGlobal.HandleComException(COMException comEx) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequest.PutFile(String bstrUrl, String bstrWebRelativeUrl, Object punkFile, Int32 cbFile, Object punkFFM, PutFileOpt PutFileOpt, String
bstrCreatedBy, String bstrModifiedBy, Int32 iCreatedByID, Int32 iModifiedByID, Object varTimeCreated, Object varTimeLastModified, Object varProperties, String bstrCheckinComment, Byte partitionToCheck, Int64 fragmentIdToCheck, String bstrCsvPartitionsToDelete,
String bstrLockIdMatch, String bstEtagToMatch, Int32 lockType, String lockId, Int32 minutes, Int32 fRefreshLock, Int32 bValidateReqFields, Guid gNewDocId, UInt32& pdwVirusCheckStatus, String& pVirusCheckMessage, String& pEtagReturn, Byte& piLevel,
Int32& pbIgnoredReqProps) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileCollection.AddStreamOrBytesInternal(String urlOfFile, Stream file, PutFileOpt fileOpt, String createdBy, String modifiedBy, Int32 createdByID, Int32 modifiedByID, DateTime timeCreated, DateTime timeLastModified,
Object varProperties, String checkInComment, Stream formatMetadata, String lockIdMatch, String etagToMatch, SPLockType lockType, String lockId, TimeSpan lockTimeout, Boolean validateRequiredFields, SPVirusCheckStatus& virusCheckStatus, String& virusCheckMessage,
String& etagNew, Boolean& ignoredRequiredProps) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileCollection.Add(String urlOfFile, Byte[] file, SPFileCollectionAddParameters parameters)
If I remove column validation, I don't get that error.
It would appear that the error is thrown internally in Sharepoint's Add API.
Not quite sure how to proceed now.
Problem#2: Even if I input a valid value in the column validation, the same error above is still thrown.
Confused................
[Update] Okay, I have found the reason for the exception (correct if I am wrong). Sharepoint File has metadata, and when I do the Add function, Sharepoint internally does a validation on the metadata and it will throw exception if not validated. That's why
validation would fail even when I am inputting some valid data in my field (because I am not sending that valid data to the Add function through metadata properties).So, my question now is:
Is it possible to prevent the validation on the metadata properties? Is there some APi for it?

I was probably not clear in my thread.
What I would want is for my code to upload the file to the server and then allow me to input my values for the metadata, THEN do the validation. Similar to how you upload a document to sharepoint library using the out-of-the-box webparts.
But, right now in my code, this is not possible. Uploading the file using the Add API will just throw an error BEFORE even allowing me to input any values for my item/file metadata. So, I am trying to find a way to upload my file without the validation (pretty
much like how microsoft does it in oob)
Not sure if this is clear enough now

Items greyed out after upgrading and migrating to Sharepoint 2013 - Open and Check Out + Manage Document Option

Hi there,
Following a migration to SharePoint 2013, the follow options have been disabled (Open and Check out + Manage) (see below). These are critically important functions and make it very hard to make SharePoint a useable interface. Any guidance on how to resolve
these issues is greatly appreciated. This is not a branded website, and there has been no changes made to the standard interface.
Kind regards
Jarrad Koppen

I'm not sure what the easiest way is either. First, I would try to create a new site collection with a new library and see if you get the same behavior. If not, then its something in the upgrade process. If it does that also would point
to something being wrong in the way that javascript is being executed.
If it is happening everywhere I suspect you'll have to start tracing javascript using something like IE developer's toolbar to see why the status on those buttons isn't changing when you select a document. I'm not sure what else to suggest.

Sharepoint 2013 Does not open files using UNC path from Server

Hi All,
Just setup our new 2013 sharepoint intranet site , I tried adding a hyperlink to a document stored on our server using a UNC path file://servername/share/filename.doc but when i click on it it takes me to a blank Webpage in a new tab.
I have turned on "open client applications" in the site collection features hoping that would help ....buuuuuut it did not.
Also tried variations in the UNC path eg: \\servername\share\filename.doc etc..
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Open start run > type > file://servername/share/filename.doc Does this works

Actually the problem I described is an Internet Explorer issue and I will try to get resolution in the appropriate forum. IE exhibits the described behavior whether the link is in a Sharepoint site page, or in a regular non-Sharepoint web page.
Mozilla does not have the issue.

Detect what the default edit form is for a document library and list using jquery

Hi,
So what I have done is with some jquery made it that when a files are dragged and dropped into a document library and there is a required field such as "Metadata" the EditForm.aspx opens up for the user to fill in the required column. I am building
the url up from what I have found in SharePoints DragDrop.js file. This is all working perfectly I just need to find a way to dynamically find what the default edit form is for that document library as I have just hardcoded like this...
g_currentControl.strSiteUrl + "/" + this.ListName + "/Forms/EditForm.aspx?ID=" + id
So I need a way to figure out what the default edit form is instead of hard coding like this in case someone creates a custom_editform.aspx or something for one of the lists.
Thanks
