Webpart to show a subfolder of a document library

The Microsoft Office 365 community forum suggested I share this question in MSDN as they were unable to help me:
For the better part of a day I've been racking my head trying to figure out how to do this in SharePoint Online. There is lots of forums on how to do it in SP 2010 by changing the CAML statement from SPD but that doesn't seem to work with SPO.
I have a Document Library (call it "Docs"). Within the library I have a tree of nested folders (Folder 1; Folder 2, etc) and subfolders (Folder 1.1; Folder 1.2; Folder 1.3; Folder 2.1; etc). I want to add the "Document" webpart
to a page (Testing.aspx) and have it display at the subfolder levels (e.g. Folder 1.2).
I've tried inserting a CAML WHERE clause in SPD unsuccessfully. Page crashes every time it's attempted.
I've tried inserting a Page View WP using the Folder and HTTPS option. The validation doesn't seem to include SPO when indicating folders and the https provides a view to the whole page, not just the doc library.
Is it possible to add a Document Library to a page and set the view to the document library to a subfolder within the library?
Thanks
Brent

Document Library Upload 'Choose Folder' programming Issues

Hello,
I have a document library with folders and subfolders and all folders have unique security inheritance applied. Administrator is able to upload to any folder using below dialog. I want everyone who does not have permission to the folders and subfolders to
upload file. So I decided to programmatically incorporate the ‘Choose Folder’ functionalities via SPSecurity.RunwithElivatedPrivillages(Delegate(){ “…” });
I incorporated fetching document library and populate hierarchies inside the security code so code run as system account. However when I call
LaunchPickerTreeDialog
it populates based on user permission and hence if user does not have permission to folder, it does not populate at
all.
How can I make sure to give this Upload file functionality to all users via dialog box with full permission so it generates all folders and subfolder of the document library when user select ‘Choose Folder’ option?
Please note that if I type the correct doc library folder url, it successfully uploads to any folders as my code is inside the elevated permission. It is not good approach to give textbox to end user to type as they might make a mistake, so I need to provide
a ‘Choose folder’ dialog functions but I want to run as elevated privileges as everyone who do not have permission also can upload the file.
I also tried using
http://howtosharepoint.blogspot.com/2010/02/sharepoint-2010-folder-selector-and.html but the following code can’t be resolved
if
(_hiddenSelectionField != null
&& !string.IsNullOrEmpty(_hiddenSelectionField.Value))
_listUrl.Text = GetObjectUrl(_hiddenSelectionField.Value);
_hiddenSelectionField.Value = string.Empty; }
How can I declare and make use of hiddenselectionField and
ListURL in my webpart?
Thanks

There's always a few challenges when trying to get around SharePoint's security model. Your options would be to try to extend the LaunchPickerTreeDialog if it's not sealed or to write a custom folder picker control. If you go the custom route, you could
even include it directly on that upload page to avoid the additional clicks.

Restricting user access based on a site column value in a document library.

We have a business requirement to show the contents of a document library based on a value (or values) in the site column (or multiple columns). For example, my document library has a custom site column called confidentiality. This
will have values like restricted, internal and public. Now, based on the AD Group the user belongs to, I should be able to control the access to Restricted or Restricted and Internal files from the document library. We are using SharePoint Online 2010.
Please suggest the best way to achieve this requirement?

SharePoint's security model doesn't allow you to specify security based on metadata. You could however create a Sandboxed Solution containing a Feature that registers a custom event receiver on the Document Library. The logic inside this
Event Receiver would fire after editing item properties (ItemUpdated) to apply item-level permissions based on the rules you need.
Make sure to read the article below to determine if fine-grained permissions are suitable in your case:

Hi Sundhar,
According to your description, you might want to check the existence of sub folder in a folder of a library using Client Object Model.
Please take the code demo below for a try, it will check whether there is sub folder in a given folder:
public static void createSubFolder(string siteUrl, string libName, string folderServerRelativeUrl)
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
List list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(libName);
CamlQuery camlQuery = new CamlQuery();
camlQuery.ViewXml =
@"<View Scope='RecursiveAll'>
<Query>
<Where>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name='FSObjType' />
<Value Type='Integer'>1</Value>
</Eq>
</Where>
</Query>
</View>";
//camlQuery.FolderServerRelativeUrl = "/Lib1/folder1";
camlQuery.FolderServerRelativeUrl = folderServerRelativeUrl;
ListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(camlQuery);
clientContext.Load(items);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Console.WriteLine(items.Count);
if (0 == items.Count)
//create sub folder here

Using Content Query webpart for specific Document library with multiple managed metadata - Document with multiple metadata tags not showing up

Hi,
I am having an issue where when I insert a Content Query webpart into a page, and filter to managed metadata, all the right documents show up except one document that happens to have two metadata tags attached to it. The content query webpart is set
to only look through a specific document library. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
Here is the one document with two metadata tags:
Below is the Content Query:

Hi,
As I understand, you did not get the results with multiple metadata tags through Content Query web part in SharePoint 2013.
Check things below:
1. Check if you have set the item limit more than the display items in Presentation section of the web part. If the item number more than item limit, the rest items will not show.
2. Check if the item you cannot find uses the content type you have set in the content type section of content query web part.
When you edit the properties of the item, you will see the content type the item is using.

How to recover a deleted document library webpart with files in it?

Hi,
I accidentally deleted a document library webpart with folders and files in it. Can someone help how to recover it? What do you think happens to the files? I checked the recycle bin, there is no any deleted file related to the missing files. When I checked
the Site Content and Structure, I can find the folders yet cant see the files in it. It gives a message that says "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".
Please guide.
thanks alot,

Albert,
Follow these steps:
1) open page: https://your_pormal/Lists/YOUR_LIST_NAME/AllItems.aspx
2) open page in edit mode -> add webpart -> find your list in available webparts -> add
3) click on the ribbon Stop Editing (Page tab)
4) Now you try open library from Site Content.
But your webpart will looks not like a when a library was created:
Now follow these steps:
1) Open library settings
2) click Create View
3) Select Standard View (don't select All Items from view templates)
4) Name it (for example MyAllItems)
4) Check: Make this the default view
5) Check: Title (linked to item with edit menu)
6) Click Save button
7) Now you have new View (with new address)
8) Open page https://your_pormal/Lists/YOUR_LIST_NAME/AllItems.aspx
9) Open it in edit mode
10) Open list webpart in edit mode
11) Set Selected View to MyAllItems
12) Toolbar Type to Full Toolbar
13) Click OK (after this step it may still showed in "wrong" style)
14) Click on the Page tap - Stop Editing
15) Check result ;)

"Files" and other tabs not visible for document library after script editor webpart is added

I created a document library and uploaded a few documents to ti. On the ribbon, I could see both "Files" and "Library" tabs. I then added a Script Editor webpart to this page because I needed to run some javascript on this
page. Now, when I go to that document library page (AllItems.aspx) then I don't see the Files and Library tab. My guess is that this is because these tabs are context sensitive so they only appear when Sharepoint knows you're working with a document
library and since now I have both the webpart that shows the document library and the Script editor webpart, that context is not there. If I click somewhere on the page close to the actual list of documents, then the Files and Library tabs reappear since
now Sharepoint knows that I'm working with a document library. Is there any way aroudn this? We don't want to have to ask our customer to click somewhere on the screen in order to get access to these tabs. I'm not sure why Sharepoint would
be confused by the Script editor webpart. It is not visible so when the page is not in edit more, you can't even see that Script editor. So, my question is: is there any way to:
- either find some other way of using javascript on this page (maybe external javascript file with some link to it on the page?
- or, some way to force the Fiels and Library tabs to be visible no matter what (i.e. despite having the Script editor webpart on the page).
I also experienced this issue when I wanted to insert some customized text on the same page that had a document library. For example, I created a document library and then on the AllItems.aspx page I inserted a content editor webpart so that I can
show some text at the top. That also caused the Files and Library tabs to disappear.
thanks,

Hi,
I understand Files/Libraray tab disappear after you add web parts to a document library, once you click somewhere in library list, it will appear again.
This is by design. As workaround, please try to use SharePoint Desginer to edit Allitems page of document library instead of using script web part.

Show custom EditForm from a specific document library view

Hello,
I've created a custom EditForm that I would like to show when the user clicks the "<label for="ShouldDisplayEdit">Edit" (link to edit item)</label> icon; however I just want to show this EditForm for a specific view.
I have a listview webpart (actually an "app") for the library and this specific view set on a page. However, it opens the default edit form instead of the custom one. (StatusEdit.aspx). I don't want to set StatusEdit.aspx as the default, as it
has fewer fields than the default edit form.
I am able to hide fields conditionally using SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides, but it's been a lot of work to try to make it match the requirements I have. I'd really like to have the custom edit form work if it's possible.
Thank you for your help!
Best Regards,
Kevin Worthington

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to specify the custom EditForm for a specific document library view.
We can change the link to edit item button url using Jquery to achieve it.
Here is a code snippet for your reference:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeurl()
$(' ms-itmHoverEnabled ms-itmhover ms-droppable).find('ms-vb-lastCell ms-cellstyle ms-vb-icon ms-vb-lastCell').attr(‘href’,”http://new url”);
</script>

How to show more than one PDF-Documents

One more question to the gurus. Can anyone tell me how i can show more that one pdf-form without having to use the container-window in the sdk-example. i would like to open and show a number of pdf-documents and react e.g. when a form closes.

"Which option is the third one? You mean "Or, make an application with
one AcroPDF box in one form. Save it as an EXE (or whatever). You can
now run multiple copies of your application".
If this isn't clear, I'm not sure how to make it more clear, but I can
try.
Do you turn your application into an EXE today? Ok, then just start 3
copies. Don't you have three PDF viewers?

Hi jackp52432917,
How was that PDF file created? Please see Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community
It could be that the PDF file you're converting was created using a third-party application, and it doesn't contain all the information necessary to ensure a clean conversion. Have you had similar troubles converting other PDF files?

Show in a Iview all documents of an user of the whole portal

Hello everybody,
I want to show in an Iview all documents of an user of the whole portal, not only the documents under his folder /userhome/Personal Documents
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Guillermo.

... and of course I have to add that this can be done with very few programming (but with that - with much more possibilities) by using a redirect "proxy iView", which is described in detail (and is taking just this scenario as one use case among others) on the slides of my TechEd presentation "Implementing Dynamic iView Properties", at least available for TechEd visitors now.
On the other hand, searching for "proxy iView" on SDN will return different results where at least I have described the basic idea.
Hope it helps, too,

Show the last published documents in a view for a document library.

Hello!
At our company we have a document library with many documents. These documents are evolving and are therefore going from major versions to minor versions to major versions again. To be able to get a good overview of the last "official" versions
we would need to have a view that shows the last "Approved" versions of each document (if any approved versions exist). This is basically the same as watching the document library from a user that only own reading access and therefore only sees the
"published" versions.
In our case this view should be used by people that own editing rights as well to the documents.
Is it possible to accomplish this?
I tried to use the tip from the following site: link
The "?IncludeVersions=TRUE"
did not work though.

Hi AndersObserve,
I understand that you have a document library that you have enabled content approval(if not, enable it) and versioning, then
you want to create a view to filter major(approved) documents, then you can filter on the ApprovalStatus field. Try to create a new standard view, filter the view when the ApprovalStatus is equal to Approved, then the view will display the published version
document.
Best Regards.
