Sharepoint List won't display in New Experience - sharepoint

Help! Sharepoint List won't display in New Experience!
I have a list in Sharepoint and I want it to be displayed in New Experience but it won't, even though my Library Settings List experience was set to "New Experience" it still displays the list in CLASSIC experience.
I understand that sometimes it takes time to take effect the new experience but I have set it to new experience for about 4 days now.

Would greatly appreciate an answer. Thank you.

In SharePoint Online, there is a link which can switch classic experience and New experience, in the list view page left bottom:
Click this link, the list will change to New experience.

Is there a Collection of icons used for imageMso?

I started to write an add-in for searching and viewing built in icons/images (imageMso) for the Office Fluent ribbon to find something suitable to add to new buttons. Yes, I know there are many out there, but I haven't found any particularly useful yet. I end up spending hours or days trying to find something that fits a purpose.
Does anyone know how the icons are stored or where they come from? Are they in a collection that is accessible and could be looped through along the lines of...?
For each img in imageMso
Loading them in manually, I have come up against a size limitation in VBA for the size of individual modules so would need to have many modules, then re-write when each version of office is released.
YES. There is a comprehensive Icon Gallery complete with control ID published by Microsoft here: 2010 MS Office Gallery
Once the file is downloaded, then Click to enable "edit".
Next, in the Ribbon, Click on: File-->, then Info. You'll then see "ImageMso 0" and ImageMso 1. Click on either to get the Gallery of iso Images for you to review.

Sorry for the belated answer
Just for future reference, there is no imageMso collection available in Office. Neither will you find a definitive id list. You will have to side load custom UI control IDs and iterate over them yourself. As of today this might be the most up-to-date list:

Also, be aware that the IDs might change with each new office version. Some get added, some are obsoleted.

How can I debug the Modx "mxCalendar" extra?

I hope someone is here, who is familiar with the cms Modx.
I installed the extra "mxCalendar" and my button "Create New Calendar Item" is not working. I click on it and nothing happens.
Can you help me?
mxCalendar is not actively maintained anymore. Which MODX version are you using? mxCalendar does not work in MODX 2.3 and up, according to this list.
I suggest to use another calendar system like integrating Google Calendar or use regular resources and add some date/time tv's to work with dates. It really depends on how you want to use the calendar. Think about questions like:
Do I need (auto) recurring events?
Can an event occupy multiple days?
If both questions are anwsered with 'yes', than it could become technically very complex in my experience. The best way to go is embedding Google Calendar, or it's API.

SharePoint 2013 KnockoutJS Lookup columns

I have a basic knockoutjs project loading data from a SharePoint 2013 list scenario. Getting data and displaying data is easy, the problem that I'm running into is on the edit mode displaying the proper control. Everything should not be a textbox. This means the people picker control to dropdownmenus to calendar controls.
MSFT has some pretty good documentation on using the client side people picker control here"http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj713593.aspx
The problem that I have is calling this control inside my viewmodel.
Setting the value of the control doesn't look difficult courtesy of this blog post: http://www.sharepointcolumn.com/sp2013-setting-people-picker-value-in-newform-aspx/
I attempted to looking into computed values, but that doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have a blog post that I skipped over? The closest related post that I can find: http://yetanothersharepointblog.wordpress.com/2012/12/11/working-with-sharepoint-lookup-columns-in-knockout-js/
Lastly since it seems that I'm the only one doing this, does anyone think that I should not be reinventing the wheel with my forms and should just link each item to the appropriate SharePoint list item in edit or display view? I suppose that would be easier.
From a SharePoint Professional to another, I would highly recommend you to do that.
Just redirect the user to the item edit/display item page an let SharePoint take the leash of how to handle UI form elements.
Because, assume that you implement your custom form, what if the user decides to add one more site column to the list? Will you update your code to support another field?
From my personal experience with the beast I've come to the conclusion that structural implementation over already existent functionality tends to go wrong.
Also, if you have some kind of listing of items custom made and you want to provide editing, try to do something opening a pretty SP.UI.ModalDialog, its elegant and you use the sharepoint to do the work for you.
But it's just an advise.

Custom announcment board in Sharepoint 2007

First off, please bear with me. My question concerns more specifically with custom lists, custom code inside Sharepoint 2007. My experience is more with applications that work outside but access data (Client Object Model) in Sharepoint 2010.
At work I was recently tasked with the following request:
Create a custom announcement board where everyone can create an announcement but only admins and creators can edit it.
The main list page was going to provide a summary of the details, title and an icon that depicts the type of announcement (gif of a baby if birth announcement).
Upon clicking on an announcement, a detailed page containing more detail of the announcement and up to 4 pictures will be displayed.
When entering data the pictures can only be a maximum size.
Here is how I was going to attack this. I was going to create a Custom List that allowed for the addition of Picture columns and all the other columns I required. I would then modify the NewForm, EditForm and DispForm pages to meet our requirements. Picture size would be controlled through Javascript of Jquery on the page. My question to you experts out there is does this sound feasible? Is there a better way?
Thank you for any help
I wouldn't edit the list forms - not in this case at least. One way you could build this would be as a publishing site. You can create custom page layouts to suit the design of the announcements. There would be a bit of work to build it into a polished solution. Depends on how far you want to go.

A minimal code webpart that displays a single picked item from a list

I'm not sure this is possible, but figured I´d give it a shot. First a few pre-requeistes and environment details:
I´m using SharePoint 2010, SharePoint
Designer 2010, VS 2010
I want to create as little code as
possible, preferably, create it all via UI or Designer
use out of the box components as much
as possible
Here is What I want to do:
Have a custom list with custom columns (easy part)
Create a webpart with an edit interface to select a single item from this list
This same webpart when visible would display the contents of this selected item in a given layout
I know I can do this creating a custom web part and code it all from scratch, I guess my main question is, is there a way to do this with less code and more out of the box components in SP2010. If not, I guess I'm left with lots of C# code.
Any tips, or pointers in this direction will be most welcome. Thanks in advance.
I think what you're looking for is the Data Form Web Part.
Unfortunately, I can't find any good tutorials for 2010, but hopefully the steps should be similar to setting it up in 2007.
Thanks all for the update. In the end, i had to create quite a bit of code to get this to work:
created a web part that enumerates
the content type,
creates a light box that has a picker
then stores the ID of the content in a column
Not the easiest way,but the only way I could get it working. Thanks again!
