Hello,

is there a way to share a SubSite with a Office 365 Group via REST.

At the moment I cannot retrieve information about the group when I call

var restSource = appweburl + "/_api/SP.UI.ApplicationPages.ClientPeoplePickerWebServiceInterface.clientPeoplePickerResolveUser";

Is there a other way to achive this?

In SharePoint Online we have two site workflows.

In the end stage one site workflow I want to call another site workflow using REST API. Is it possible to do so?

I've got some JavaScript embedded into a SharePoint webpart page. I need to detect if the user is in Edit mode.

I have tried using the following code to target the "MSOLayout_InDesignMode" input field, however that field always has a value of empty, regardless of what mode I am in.

var inDesignMode = document.forms[MSOWebPartPageFormName].MSOLayout_InDesignMode.value;

if (inDesignMode == "1")
{
    // page is in edit mode
}
else
{
    // page is in browse mode
}

Hi,

I'm doing SharePoint 2013 development (Farm solution) on a VM on my desktop with SP & DC & SQL on it.

Now I need to test the integration with Exchange 2013 (calendar & tasks) and SP email.

I would like to install and configure Exchange on my VM in order to have the environment completed and isolated.

How can I install and configure Exchange (and Exchange integration with SP) on my VM?

thank you so much,

JD

Download older version of a file from SharePoint Document Library using CSOM in asp.net mvc c#

I am fairly new to InfoPath and am looking for a possible solution for one of our Project Managers. Here is what they are asking about:

1. Create a form within a SharePoint 2013 form library with 20 total questions in the form. 10 questions (activated when the employee opens the form) and 10 questions (hidden from the employee when they open the form) which will be activated after the employee clicks the Submit button.

• The Employee will open the form and answer their 10 questions and click on the Submit button.
• Clicking Submit on the Employee's form will submit the employee answers, activate the second set of 10 questions and notify the Manager that the form is available for them to fill out.
• The Manager then opens the form in which they can see the employee answers and fills out their portion of the form.
• Clicking Submit on the Manager's form will create a PDF file which displays all answers from both the employee and the manager and sends the file to the Manager's email address.

I need some assistance or guidance to a post in which this has been done before in order to build this solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you all!

Hello,

I have to create my own site creation page just like newspweb.aspx. Can anyone help me out on this.

Any help would be appreciable

Hello,

I am trying to migrate documents from a file share to SharePoint Online using the Migration API.  I want to update the Modified By value on a document with a user in SPO, however, I am having issues setting the value to a new user.  The user does exist in SharePoint Online.

Here is what I am doing:

Running the following PowerShell command:

# Create new package from file share

New-SPOMigrationPackage -SourceFilesPath $sourceFiles -OutputPackagePath $sourcePackage -TargetWebUrl $targetWeb -TargetDocumentLibraryPath $targetDocLib -NoAzureADLookup 

When that is run, the following xml files are created:

UserGroups.xml

Manifest.xml

In the UserGroups.xml, I get the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<UserGroupMap xmlns="urn:deployment-usergroupmap-schema">

  <Users>

    <User Flags="0" IsDeleted="false" SystemId="AQIAAAAAAAUgAAAAIAIAAA==" IsSiteAdmin="false" IsDomainGroup="true" Email="" Login="BUILTIN\Administrators" Name="" Id="1"/>

    </Users>

    <Groups/>

</UserGroupMap>

Notice the Id value = 1

In the manifest.xml, I get the following (just including a snippet):

<SPObject Url="/Accounting/test.doc" ParentWebUrl="/Accounting" ParentWebId="84ec82c5-4227-4579-ad19-bd8ca24873f4" ParentId="10394067-6044-46ad-b1c9-250f5a150359" ObjectType="SPFile" Id="6ad11bcf-45bb-4774-b8b9-f1ebc2b5872f">

<File Url="University/test.doc" ParentWebUrl="/Accounting" ParentWebId="84ec82c5-4227-4579-ad19-bd8ca24873f4" ParentId="10394067-6044-46ad-b1c9-250f5a150359" Id="6ad11bcf-45bb-4774-b8b9-f1ebc2b5872f" TimeLastModified="2014-11-03T22:38:56" TimeCreated="2016-11-21T22:39:21" Name="test.doc"ModifiedBy="1" Author="1" FileSize="49152" FileValue="test.doc" Version="1.0" ListId="e57e4293-e372-434e-a75b-85337c0bd15d" ListItemIntId="4"/>

</SPObject>

<SPObject Url="/Accounting/test.doc" ParentWebUrl="/Accounting" ParentWebId="84ec82c5-4227-4579-ad19-bd8ca24873f4" ParentId="e57e4293-e372-434e-a75b-85337c0bd15d" ObjectType="SPListItem" Id="fb35fc12-17ba-4faa-a4ce-14559fd2c7d1">

test.doc">

<Fields/>

</ListItem>

</SPObject>

Notice that the ModifiedBy="1"  and  Author="1" values are set to 1 …. Which I’m assuming maps to the id of the user in the UserGroups.xml

Anyway, if I were to change the UserGroups.xml file to the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<UserGroupMap xmlns="urn:deployment-usergroupmap-schema">

<Users>

<User Id="1" Name="Fred Flintstone" Login="fred@bedrock.onmicrosoft.com" Email=" fred@bedrock.onmicrosoft.com " IsDomainGroup="false" IsSiteAdmin="false" SystemId="AQIAAAAAAAUgAAAAIAIAAA==" IsDeleted="false" Flags="0" />

<User Id="2" Name="Barney Rubble" Login="barnie@bedrock.onmicrosoft.com" Email=" barnie@bedrock.onmicrosoft.com " IsDomainGroup="false" IsSiteAdmin="true" SystemId="AQIAAAAAAAUgAAAAIAIAAA==" IsDeleted="false" Flags="0" />

</Users>

<Groups />

</UserGroupMap>

And then modify the manifest xml to be ModifiedBy="2" Author="2",

I then run the following PowerShell commands:

# Convert package to a targeted one by looking up data in target site collection

ConvertTo-SPOMigrationTargetedPackage -SourceFilesPath $sourceFiles -SourcePackagePath $sourcePackage -OutputPackagePath $targetPackage -TargetWebUrl $targetWeb -TargetDocumentLibraryPath $targetDocLib -Credentials $Credential

- Submit Package to Azure:

$azurePkg = Set-SPOMigrationPackageAzureSource -SourceFilesPath $sourceFiles -SourcePackagePath $targetPackage -AzureQueueName $azureQueueName -AccountName $azureAccountName -AccountKey $azureAccountKey

Submit-SPOMigrationJob -TargetWebUrl $targetWeb -MigrationPackageAzureLocations $azurePkg -Credentials $Credential

.

Once the files are uploaded to Azure and then migrated to SharePoint Online, all the documents show up as being modified by Fred (User Id=1), instead of Barnie.

In the ConvertMigrationPackage logs, I find the following:

12/15/2016 11:10:58 PM Warning User node fred@patrickcompany.onmicrosoft.com was not sucessfully looked up, marking as deleted

12/15/2016 11:10:58 PM Warning User node barnie@patrickcompany.onmicrosoft.com was not sucessfully looked up, marking as deleted

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong.  Basically, I want to update the modified by with various users in SPO.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I have added a specific Distribution List (e.g. ContosoAdmins) of AD as Site Collection Admin.

This ContosoAdmins consist of below listed user,

1. AdminUser1

2. AdminUser2

3. AdminUser3

While I am try to fetch these users by using below REST api call,

http://<SiteCollection>/_api/web/siteusers?$filter=IsSiteAdmin%20eq%20true

It only fetches ContosoAdmins details as response whereas expected result should fetch details of all 3 users i.e. AdminUser1, AdminUser2, AdminUser3.

Kindly help, if we have alternate rest api to fetch this expected result.

Hope this help.

Hello

i want to know how to show the content of amnaged meta data fielsd ina web part in sharepoint 2013?

i get an error message in splistitemcollection.getdatatable

can you help pleasE?

I have the following scenario inside my sharepoint server-2013 :-

1. using sharepoint designer i created a new reusable workflow 2010 linked to a custom content type (content type name is CT-A).

2. then i globally publish the reusable workflow, name it "global".

3. i set to run the workflow when item is created.

4. now i have a list which uses the content type CT-A.

5. i create a new item inside my list.

6. where the global workflow runs successfully.

7. so till now everything is working well.

now i wanted to updated my global workflow to add extra actions.

so i did the following:-

1. using sharepoint designer 2013.

2. i edit the global workflow

3. save / publish it

At this stage i thought that my modifications will not have any effect unless i click on the "Site Settings>>Site Content Types>>CT-A>>workflows>>Update all related content types with these workflow association settings. " link:-

but when i add a new item inside the list , the modification i made on the global workflow was applied to the list , without clicking on the above link ? so can anyone adivce on what is the purpose of the "Update all related content types with these workflow association settings."  link,, as seems modifying the global workflow, then save/publish it will also update the workflow on the list content types without the need to click on "Update all related content types with these workflow association settings."  link ?

I want to disable the Title column from the Quick Edit grid, inside certain web-parts so i did the following steps:-

1- I went to a list view.

2- Edit the page

3- Edit the web part.

4- Under the "Miscellaneous" tab

5- I add a reference to the following JSLink:-

(function () {

      function registerRenderer() {
        var ctxForm = {};
        ctxForm.Templates = ctxForm.Templates || {};;
        ctxForm.Templates.OnPreRender = function(ctx) {
        var statusField = ctx.ListSchema.Field.filter(function(f) {
            return f.Name === 'Title';
        });
        if (statusField.length>0) {
            statusField[0].AllowGridEditing = false;
        }
    }
        ctxForm.Templates = {
            Fields : {
                'LinkTitle': { //------ Change Hyperlink of LinkTitle
                    View : function (ctx) {
                        if(ctx.CurrentItem.SiteAutomaticallyCreated != null && ctx.CurrentItem.SiteAutomaticallyCreated === 'Yes'){
                        var url = String.format('{0}{1}', "/Programmes/", ctx.CurrentItem.ID);
                        return String.format('<a href="{0}" onclick="EditItem2(event, \'{0}\');return false;">{1}</a>', url, ctx.CurrentItem.Title);
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            var url = String.format('{0}{1}', "/Programmes/Lists/Projects/DispForm.aspx?ID=", ctx.CurrentItem.ID);
                        return String.format('<a href="{0}" onclick="EditItem2(event, \'{0}\');return false;">{1}</a>', url, ctx.CurrentItem.Title);
                        }
                    }
                },
            }
        };
        SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(ctxForm);
    }
    ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(registerRenderer, 'clienttemplates.js');


})();

But Title field will still be editable inside the quick edit grid, while the other part of my JS link (ctxForm.Templates) is working well. so can anyone adivce how i can disable the Title field on certain web parts using JSlink ?? as seems this part inside my JSLink is not working well:-

ctxForm.Templates.OnPreRender=function(ctx){var statusField = ctx.ListSchema.Field.filter(function(f){return f.Name==='Title';});if(statusField.length>0){
            statusField[0].AllowGridEditing=false;}}
