How to change the Field Help of standard field in Netsuite? - netsuite

I would like to modify the Field Help of NetSuite's Standard / Native field. How to do?
Thanks for reading this question.
Any type of related information will definitely help me to move a step ahead towards solution.

I have tried without success UserEvent Script on BeforeLoad event this (SS2.0):
scriptContext.form.getField('tranid').setHelpText({help:'Test'});
The example above is working only with fields created by scriptContext.form.addField.
There is no way to do it with ClientScript (no access to setHelpText method there).
And of course, there is no customization tool.
The only way is to use DOM, which is not recomended by Netsuite, and for sure is not a good practice.

Azure Search suggestions setup

I've created an instance of Azure Search and I'm trying to make use of the suggesters functionality but struggling to find any useful information on how to get started (poor and out of date documentation from Microsoft).
I would like to use a suggestion on the name field below.
The issue is that fields require unique names and I'm unable to edit existing fields. I'm a little unsure of how the suggester tab differs from basic.
Does anyone have any advice on how best to add suggesters to my index? I am all for deleting the index and starting again if I've missed something critical.
I'm really sorry you're disappointed by the documentation. We take it very seriously and will make sure to address your feedback. Feel free to make suggestions.
On the screen you provided, you should specify a name for the suggester. Once you do that, checkboxes will show up next to your field names. Using the check boxes you will enable the Suggestions API on selected fields.
Use the name of the suggester as a value for the suggesterName parameter when using the Suggestions API : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn798936.aspx
Please find more details in this article about suggestions in Azure Search. It describes a sample application with code attached.
Hope that helps.

how to create a multi database search in xpage?

I've been experiencing a lot of headache for this issue I'm in. I need to create a multi-database search in xpage, this search functions like a mini google in xpage where if I type, for example,"test" all databases with the same name or contains a title with test will display. I've already looked with the Openntf Project http://www.openntf.org/main.nsf/project.xsp?r=project/Xpages%20Multi%20Database%20Search%20Custom%20Control this seems to solve my problem but unfortunately I'm encountering some error and I'm not a java specialist so I'm still waiting for the creator of the project to reply. So if you know something or tricks to do this kind of stuff its really appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Take a look at this:
Plugin to client's sidebar
Custom control for XPages
Ok, so I got it right by playing with the code inside the javascript in this openntf project. ( http://www.openntf.org/main.nsf/project.xsp?r=project/Xpages%20Multi%20Database%20Search%20Custom%20Control) it checks if the database is indexed or not, but unfortunately the script does not detect my indexed dbs so it throws nothing, i just comment out the line that checks it and it works! :)

Export list of Sitecore items as Excel (or other formats)

I noticed that sitecore has the option of exporting users in an Excel format.
I need to have similar functionality for exporting 'participations', (a users can enlist to take part in an 'event', and if their entry is approved via a sitecore workflow, a 'participation' item is created in the content tree)
Since mostly everything in Sitecore is in essence based on items, and I want to export items to Excel, my question is - what are some of the best ways of doing this?
Questions:
Is there a way to re-use this functionality for regular items?
Would it be a good idea to create a custom admin page (any tips on doing this?) which has some custom code that reads the items from the database using the API?
are there sitecore plugins/shared source projects that can help me achieve this?
Or does anyone have a better idea? - would it be better to just store the participations in SQL? I'm mostly doing it this way because I want to make use of the 'free' functionality offers, for example workflow, but if that leads to me using anti-patterns please shoot me ;)
Link is different now: https://marketplace.sitecore.net/en/Modules/Advanced_System_Reporter.aspx
P.S. Couldn't leave a comment to original answer as I don't have enough reputation. Oh well :)
Found a most excellent shared source module which does exactly this (and much more)!
Basically it allows you to configure (and easily extend, if you need to) any kind of table based report on 'items'.
The report module shows up as an application in the sitecore menu (like the user manager tool) and comes with features such as xml,csv, xls export. It's also really easy to set up, once you get the hang of it.

Rad grid custom filtering

How can I activate custom filtering for my radgrid?(I googled but I didn't get any proper response regarding this)
I have a property like AllowCustomSorting but I don't have any property regarding filtering.
Can any one provide the way how to implement custom filtering?
If possbile give me a sample page then I will understand.
Thanks in advance.
All you need to know about filtering:
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grid-basic-filtering.html
I usually do my filtering/sorting within my stored procedures as that brings huge speed benefits when working with larger tables.
I'm aware this is a fairly old question now but this link should help you:
Note that it has a sample project at the bottom of the page.
The property you are looking for is AllowFilteringByColumn="True"
This page has a sample using a dropdown and a custom filter.

Change template html in sharepoint discussion reply box

I have a wss 3.0 install which needs an "anonymous" discussion board. I can modify the view so no usernames are displayed, however when I click on "reply", the message I'm replying to shows up in the rich text box with the username of the previous poster.
Is there a way to remove that username? or Remove the previous posted text altogether? I've found the schema.xml file with lots of relevant info under the ..12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\DiscussionsList\Discuss folder, but not sure if this is the easiest way to adjust this setting.
Any comments appreciated.
Best practice says that you should always create a custom list definition instead of trying to modify the OOB assets.
The easiest way to do this is take a copy of the 12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\DiscussionsList\Discuss folder, modify the feature Ids and names so that its unique. Then your free to change the schema render template (i.e view schema) and modify the edit and display forms.
If you need to modfify the actual entry form you may consider a custom control template : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa543922.aspx
Custom list definition : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms466023.aspx
Agrothe,
I have a similar requirement (hide or mask the author inside the reply thread.). What exactly inside of schema.xml do you think will allow you to do accomplish that?
Not sure if the list forms are exposed to xslt. If so, then perhaps this is another approach.
FWIW, the other solutions I have investigated:
(1) A custom event handler. Unfortunately, I can't pinpoint which event fires when someone click reply.
(2) Anonymous blog comments (http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2007/08/06/anonymous-comment-feature-for-sharepoint-blog-now-available-on-codeplex.aspx).
(3) the other thing I am considering, is to introduce a global anonymous active directory login, which users can use to post anonymously. Not ideal, but for the amount of time I have spent researching a solution, might be my last hope.
