Web part Help button - Where is it?

I would like to use the web part help mechanism, which seems to be available in the Advanced section when I edit the web part. (see "Help URL" in the image below). If I place a URL in this box to an htm file and save the
web part, I am unclear where I click on the web part or page to have the text of the help message appear. By the way, this is in the context of a NewForm.aspx page, if that matters.
Thanks in advance for your help.

The help URL configured can only be accessed when the web part is edited unfortunately. If you want the end users to see the help URL, you might have to educate them on where to find it.
The help mode has various ways in which you can configure how the help URL acts when clicked.
Menu options available in the dropdown are Modeless (the default),
Modal, and Navigate:
Modeless opens a popup window that allows users to continue working "behind" the popup in other windows while the popup remains open.
Modal opens a popup window that users must manually close before they're able to continue working.
Navigate doesn't open a popup at all, but navigates directly to the help content by refreshing within the already open window.

How to enable a custom web part class file to be refreshed at regular interval of time, without affecting the entire page where its placed.

Hi,
I am calling a web service in the web part class file where it gets the data. I need to call the service at regular intervals of time which is in the web part, is there a way to get the web part refreshed automatically at certain intervals of time.
Rayudu

You can use Ajax for automatic refreshing.
Add a timer control into an Ajax Update panel within your custom web part and execute your code to refresh the field values within the Timer_Tick() event.
You can also control the timer interval to 10 minutes or so using the Timer.Interval property.
This will always enable your page to remain with only the web parts getting refreshed.
I just found
a blog post which describes this in detail with screenshots.

Data view web part to display the most frequently accessed pages based on the user that is logged in

I am working on a project in which I would like to display the top 5 most accessed pieces of content as links, based on the user that is logged in. Our MOSS 2007 implementation has subsites for all regions that we do business in, as an example North, South, East, and West. When a user visits the North region homepage, I would like a web part to display:
Hello, <username>, here is a listing of your most accessed content:
Link to One
Link to Two
Link to Three
Link to Four
Link to Five
So each user would get a customized list based on their content access. We are not using my sites, but these would not work as we want the list to display on the home page of the region site.
I am thinking that a data view may work here, but I am not sure. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you are running MOSS you may want to take a look at the Relevant Documents web part too.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointserver/HA102410251033.aspx
The Relevant Documents Web Part helps you create a personalized view of the documents that you create, check out, and change. In a large Document Center, the Web Part can save you time and effort by making files easier to find and use. The following figure shows the Web Part:

Which to use in App part or web part

Recently I have started working on SharePoint 2013 but sadly I find it very confusing specially App part and web part.
In app part gallery also we have doc library,lists and in web part gallery also, which to use.
As a developer seeing future job perspective I should choose which option developing app part or developing web part.
I basically work with On-premise version no option of cloud. Can i create app for my On-premise version and how any link.

Hello Zakir
App Part also known as Client Part is one of the three ways in which an app can be presented to an end user. An App Part provides a way to mount an app to SharePoint. It uses an Iframe html element inside a SharePoint page to display the contents of an app.
In App Parts, the UI and the app content is generated remotely with the app code running outside of the SharePoint server. This ensures complete isolation between the SharePoint surrounding interface and the embedded app. SharePoint automatically creates an
App Part in the Web Part gallery when an app is deployed to SharePoint site.
Web Part is a reusable component or a server side control that can be added inside a SharePoint page. Web Part code runs directly within the SharePoint server. There are several out-of-box Web Parts available in SharePoint and one can also build their
own custom Web Parts. Web Parts are editable, configurable and can even be connected to each other. Also, Web Parts can be utilized within an app.
Both App Parts and Web Parts are listed in the Web Part gallery from where they can be added in a page. From an end user's perspective, App Part is like a Web Part - both of them provides a way to add a piece of functionality to a page. However, there are primary
differences between them in how they are developed and deployed. In App Part, the app code runs outside of the SharePoint while Web Part code runs within SharePoint. So, poorly built apps does not impact SharePoint environment as in case with poorly built
Web Parts.

Custom master page branding is missing buttons to add Web Parts

I've created a custom master page which does not display the "add" or "cancel" buttons when adding web parts to the page. These elements are controlled by CSS tags such as: .ms-wpadder, .ms-wpadder-cell, .ms-wpadder-buttonArea, .ms-wpadder-zoneArea, #s4-ribbonrow
among others. I have attached a screenshot on my SkyDrive account
SharePoint Master Page Screenshot
which displays the web part objects but not the buttons to add them to your page. The cells of the #s4-ribbonrow are red .ms-wpadder-cell have been colored orange for display purposes. Here is some code I am experimenting with to solve the problem
#s4-ribbonrow{background-color:red !important; padding-bottom:50px !important;min-height: 43px; max-height:200px; overflow-y: hidden;}
.ms-wpadder-buttonArea .ms-wpadder-zoneArea{padding-bottom:50px; background-color:aqua;}
.ms-wpadder-cell{min-height:220px !important; background-color:orange;}
.ms-wpadder{padding-bottom:50px !important;}
#RibbonContainer{background-color:transparent;}
body #s4-ribboncont{background-image:none; padding-top:150px;}
Alex Dove - MA, MCP, SharePoint certified developer

Hi Pivotal,
I think you use other style, because I apply your style on v4.master but this hide all ribbon
panels, anyway I think your issue related with
body #s4-ribboncont
padding-top: 150px;
Try to decrease or remove padding-top.
Hope that helps a little

HOW TO CALL APPROVAL WORK FLOW ON BUTTON CLICK EVENT OF VISUAL WEB PART?

Hiall,
I created an OOB an approval work flow I want to start that approval work flow through visual web part button click event
In work flow Settings I selected to manually start .Is this possible ? if possible please guide me how to do this
Thanking you,
Arun kumar

Hi,
If you have an instance of SPListItem, and know the workflow association name, you can start it. First you need to find workflow assocation instance and tell SPSite.SPWorkflowManager to start your workflow.
See this for more information:

On my MacBook with Lion Safari does start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library did not help. Where can I find and remove all components (LastSession ...)?

How can I reset Safari with all components? On my MacBook with Lion, Safari does not start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library does not help. Where can I find and remove all components as LastSession and TopSites?

The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running v10.7 Lion is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
Instead of restoring OS X in order to reinstall Safari, try troubleshooting extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
If it's not an extension or plug-in issue, delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Apply Button not working in Report viewer web part in SP 2013

I have a SSRS report which gets values from SSAS cube, with more than 10 parameters defined in the report. All the parameters are multi-select parameters and the report is deployed in SharePoint 2013 integrated mode.
I created a web page and integrated the SSRS report inside a report viewer web part. All the report parameters are from Performance Point filters. All the PPS filters are connected to SSRS report.
The problem is each and every time the parameter is re-selected(changed) the whole page gets refreshed.
So I added a Apply button, so that the report gets refreshed only after clicking the Apply button. Even after adding the apply button the report gets refreshed on each parameter change.
Can you please let me know why the apply button is not working and possible solutions to overcome this.

Need Help ! Content Search Web Part with default callout menu as docoument library

I want the above functionality with the Content Search Web Part(CSWP).

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to create something like a
Content Search Web Part(which is introduced in SharePoint 2013) in your SharePoint 2010 environment with the callout menu functionality.
As there is no OOTB Content Search Web Part in SharePoint 2010, a suggestion is that you can build a custom web part with the help of
Search API and create custom callout menu for it.
Two demos about
how to work with Search API in SharePoint 2010 for your reference:

Get the current context of the site where web-part is added in the same site collection

Hi,
I'm creating a visual web-part in SharePoint 2013 using server object model (can't user COM as the code will run on the same server) to get all the members of "Members" group of the site/web wherever this web-part
will be added (in the same site-collection), so it will take the context of the site wherever it is added.
For Eg: I have a site collection "http://<Server_name>/sites/Finance" OR "http://<Server_name>/sites/Finance/Microsoft" OR some other subsite. I have used SPContext.Current property to get the current context
, but no success :( .
I tried in SPSite: SPContext.Current.Site ; new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Web.URL) and many other combinations with SPSite.
in SPWeb : site.openweb()
But I'm always getting the URL as "http://<Server_name>/" and not the context where the web-part is added in the same site collection.
Vipul Jain

Hi Bjoern,
Thanks for the reply. I'm able to get the access of members group through API's. Just wanted to know about the context in SPSite & SPWeb. As you suggested , is there no need to use SPSite ?
using (SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web)
SPGroup membersGroup = web.Groups[web.Name + " Members"];
SPUserCollection lstMembers = web.Groups[web.Name + " Members"].Users;
foreach (SPUser member in lstMembers)
// add all the group users to the list
users.Add(member.Name);
It's not working

HT5654 Where is the Help button located within Itunes on a windows computer?

Under Site Contents - Where is the add a Page or Web Part Page option.

It seems the only way to add a page to a site is to create a document library first.

Where is the SitePages Document Library.
Up next to SkyDrive I click Sites. I select "My Child Site" It is a brand new site. Under the Cog there is Shared With, Edit Page, Add an app, view site contents and getting started. On the left I have Home, Site contents. If I go into Site contents I have
the option of Lists, Libraries and other Apps or the option to create a new subsite.
Just to be sure I clicked Create a new Subsite". Once it is up I still don't have an option to create a page. And under the Cog I have the same settings as before.
It seems like I have to create a document library app, create a page in the library, Add the app as a web part to the home page and then have a lot of clutter from the document library app. e.g. +new document or drag files here, current view... As opposed to
a list of links to the pages.
It seems like a site should also be a document library or list to begin with.
I could swear in 2010 when you were in a new site you could could click create a page from the home page.

Where is the drop down list with "edit web part" for a list??

In Sharepoint 2010, there was a drop down list to the far right of a list. One of the options was to Edit Web Part. In Sharepoint 2013, I can't find the drop down list. Nothing is to the right of my list and mouse overs down't reveal
anything. I am trying to get to that area to change my toolbar type. Any clues as to where the "edit web part" has gone to?

I've been able to edit Web Part properties for weeks, but a few days ago, I could no longer do it, either by using the checkbox in the upper right corner of the web part or by using Web Part Properties in the Web Part tab. It's greyed out.
Then yesterday I could do it again and today I can't. An intermittent problem!
No one has changed any Sharepoint Admin settings.
Anyone have any ideas? They would be greatly appreciated.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
