My lookup attribute is not detectable or visible in the UI, not able to trace the root cause. looking for debugging tips and techniques of UI(app.xml).
Did you follow these instructions, and add the lookup to the new View you've created

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make use of the suggesters functionality but struggling to find any useful information on how to get started (poor and out of date documentation from Microsoft).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.
This is not a technical question, but rather an inquiry on how to get better information regarding the huge numbr of parameters and properties of the various controls you can put in an XPage.
A concrete example:
I have a button which had a property save=true in its event Handler. I added some code in the postSave event, so a lotuscript angent could do some processing, and I started having save conflicts. It took a while but I managed to figure out that the save=true in the event Handler was causing the issue.
I like to know my options, so I wanted to look at what exactly that property ws doing (although the name kinds of give it), but that's when it hit me: where do I look for that kind of information?
Is there a site somewhere that lists all properties we can add and a description of what they are doing?
Maybe my Google skills are not the best, but I couldn't find anything yet...
The three IBM Press XPages books (Mastering XPages 2nd Edition, XPages Portable Command Guide and XPages Extension Library) are key to understanding the implications of the properties. There are the equivalent of Javadocs for controls (here's the link for the XPages Extension Library one), but they're not intended to go into the kind of depth to identify the problem you hit.
These might be useful:

I know there are threads out there about making changes to the refinement panel and they have so far been very helpful but now I have a question that I need a bit more assistance with.
I've created a new filter for the refinement panel. That worked very fine.
I can see the filter, when I perform a search.
But when I click on the new filter, all search results disappear and it just says: "We did not find any results for ".
I can see that the url gets my created filter attached:
results.aspx?...&r=filterfield%3D%22True%22
I have created a managed metadata property and added the field to the search results (search core results webpart).
What I'm doing wrong? Why it doesn't work?
Any hints?
Thanks for any help.
I found the reason. I forgot to start a full crawl after creating the managed metadata field.
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.

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

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.
