How to leverage basic tools you already have for advanced workplace, and life, productivity What did you do today? It’s as common of a question in the business world as the dreaded statement “you’re fired”.

And yet, employees seem to find every way possible to simply not get fired; just enough to get by, rather than finding a quick, easy way to answer the first question any time it’s posed. Don’t get me wrong – I can procrastinate with the best of ‘em. However, once I made it through college and began my work as a grunt in the top-heavy corporate machine, I was inundated with emails, sticky notes on my desk, and late-night voicemails from my supervisor trying to find out whether or not my TPS report would be ready by EOB the next day (and yes, I always use an up-to-date cover sheet). I found myself struggling to answer such a simple question. The other thing I noticed was that any time I fumbled around for the words to answer that all-important question – “What did you do today?”

Importing Data from AD to InfoPath 2007 Form Template (Code free) Hi all, Several of my customers have learned about the new feature of MOSS that includes publishing InfoPath forms to the server and thus allowing users that does not have InfoPath installed to fill in forms with no need for distributing nor purchasing InfoPath for each client. One of the things they all have in common is that they all work in a Microsoft Active Directory environment and wish the form to load Meta data from the current user and to fill in the form with that data. Now, InfoPath and AD does not have a method for creating a direct connection, but since all of our users also utilize the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) forms server – this means they can take advantage of other features and capabilities of MOSS for this problem.

MOSS connects to your AD easily and builds a user profile based on the data stored in AD for each user. This part is easy enough to perform so I will not elaborate further on that here. Step 1: Create a blank form template 1. 2. 3. 1. 2. 3. How to Use JavaScript to access SharePoint Query String - Mike Geyer's Blog. QueryString - get parameters from URL with JavaScript. SharePoint passes a lot of information between pages with the aid of URL parameters. If you pay attention to the URL while watching the EditForm of some list, you'll probably find the folloring url: The part after the question mark is important, since it's passing 2 parameters: ID with value of 1 and Source with value of Using XSLT with SharePoint Designer you can also get these parameters with XSLT's QueryString. Function queryString(parameter) { var loc = location.search.substring(1, location.search.length); var param_value = false; So if I had my page The queryString('test') would return value 123.

This function is useful also outside of SharePoint. The URLEncode and URLDecode Page.

Home : Articles : Using Javascript's Location Object to Work with URLs Tutorial by Matt Doyle | Level: Intermediate | Published on 28 July 2008 Categories: Learn how to use the JavaScript Location object to read and change URLs, as well as how to reload (or refresh) the page. JavaScript gives you many ways to access and change the current URL that is displayed in the visitor's browser.

All these techniques use the Location object, which is itself a property of the Window object. You can create a new Location object that contains the current URL as follows: var currentURL = window.location; In this tutorial, you explore all the properties and methods of the Location object. How to read all the different parts of a URL How to send the visitor to another page by changing the URL, and How to automatically reload or refresh the page. The anatomy of a URL A URL can be broken down into as many as six components, though many of them are optional: Here's an example of a URL with all these components: SharePoint URL Basics - Laura Rogers @WonderLaura. The Kick Board - JS Injection for SharePoint List Forms. I’ve seen a few questions out on Twitter in the past few weeks on how to change SharePoint page behavior based on querystrings passed in an URL. While the context for this question leads to many possible alternatives (filter web parts, custom web part, xslt, js, etc…) I found that the advice I was giving in most cases was “if you just need something quick (and dirty), then just inject some javascript.

It seems though that arn’t many easily findable tutorials around for how to do this, so I decided to write this article. Please note that this is NOT the best way to accomplish every possible problem scenario taking into account security, maintainability, performance, etc… It does however work which makes it a viable tool to add to your bag of tricks in my book. Also, I’m going to present the code samples here using straight javascript, but you could certainly streamline some of the code by using other frameworks like jQuery. Refferencing SharePoint form fields with JavaScript. Sometimes you need to refference SharePoint form fields for manipulation.

I usually use JavaScript. With SharePoint 2.0 you can refference a form field with document.getElementsByName(urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Field_Name)[0] where Field_Name is the SharePoint name of the field (you can find it at the end of URL when viewing properties of the field under "Modify Settings and columns". For example if I'd need to change the value of a form field Title, I'd use the following code: document.getElementsByName('urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Title')[0].value = 'Boris' Thus changing the value to Boris.

The story gets a bit more complicated with SharePoint 3.0. Document.getElementsByName('ctl00$m$g_740df035_0c04_4906_89d7_cb38429413df$ctl00$ctl04$ctl00$ctl00$ctl00$ctl04$ctl00$ctl00$TextField')[0].value = 'Boris' The problem occurs with changing ID of the form so you can't (at least that I know of) refference the form field value by name alone.

MoBlog: SharePoint Tooltip Popup Preview - Round 2. *** UPDATED 18 Feb 09 re: Stout's comment ***(see the bottom of this post) A little over a month ago I posted an article about how to include popup previews into SharePoint calendars with the caveat that it was a more complex solution than I typically post. In the course of my last few projects, I've stumbled across better ways to accomplish this in a much cleaner way which I'll address here. This is a two-step process and will require that you to have access to SharePoint Designer if you want it to look clean and professional. Step 1 - Create the Popup page From within SharePoint Designer, create a new document. To answer Stout's question in the comments section, it is possible to have the "EditForm.aspx" popup in the tooltip instead of "DispForm.aspx", though I found formatting this form was a bit trickier.

To do this, follow the same steps above, but with the following modifications: Step 1 - Item ID in display and edit forms. A frequent request: have the ID displayed when viewing an individual item, in display form (DispForm.aspx) and edit form (EditForm.aspx). This is for example useful when a team uses the default SharePoint ID as identifier in an Issue Tracking list. Note: the ID cannot be displayed in NewForm.aspx, simply because the ID doesn’t exist yet when you add a new item. The answer is easy: the ID is actually already in the browser window, in the URL to be precise: Right, this is not very user friendly, so we are going to add a short script to grab the ID and display it in the page. To add a script to DispForm.aspx and EditForm.aspx, we’ll use a well known technique: - append ? - add a hidden CEWP to the page Then add one of the two scripts below in the source editor of the CEWP: To display the ID in the first row: To display the ID in the last row: Like this: Like Loading...

Opening a newform.aspx page in a new window from an EditForm.aspx page and then closing and refreshing the original page. HelloMy Scenario : I have a modified Editform page for a List(List A). On this page there is the editform webpart, a dataview webpart of List B and I have an html link that opens the newform page for another List(List B) into a new window.

To do this i've just put in " Add a new item " into the page source. So users can click the link from the List A Editform page and be taken to List B's newform page which has opened in a new window. What I want to do now, is when the user clicks the ok or cancel button on the newform page(This would be from the List B newform.aspx page) the new window should close and the original window should be refreshed. I had modified the solution on this page NewForm.aspx OnClick below is the code i used <! Now it works however there are a few problems 1) When the parent page reloads the items doesn't show up in the dataview webpart of List B. Any help with the above problems will be much appreciated.

Using calculated columns to write HTML. Update [6/8/2009]: A new version of the script is now available, more details here. Updates I am now expanding the scope of this method: - list views (flat views and expanded grouping): this article - list views (collapsed grouping): this article - display forms (DispForm.aspx): published on 10/01/2008- calendar views: published on 11/15/2008 - using calculated columns to write scripts: published on 2/26/2009 - preview panes: added on 7/9/2009 - filters: not published yet Also note the troubleshooting section. Update [09/10/2008] I have added a few lines to the initial script to address the case of collapsed views. Also, see my note at the end of this post. Your feedback is important to me. A technical note: considering that 1/ the script is generic and 2/ it may still evolve in the future, a good practice is to store it in a separate text file on your site.

I have already introduced calculated columns in a previous post. One of their limitations is that the output is just text. How to Use SharePoint Discussion Boards in Outlook 2007. As you can imagine, we are heavy SharePoint users here at SharePoint Solutions. Much of the work we all do every day is done with SharePoint. Unlike our instructors, consultants, and developers, everyone isn't a SharePoint expert.

Just like in your own organization, we have many Information Workers. Recently, we've been utilizing SharePoint Discussion Boards more. So I sent an email to our internal staff letting them know they may find these discussion boards easier to use if they connect them to Outlook 2007. In that email, I also included brief directions on how to do the most common tasks. Someone suggested that our blog readers might also be interested in those instructions, so here they are.
