I am customizing the cscockpit for a module Order Search. Presently it shows three fields in the Order Search Result list. This setting is configured in a CockpitGroup.xml file named Order_OrderSearchResult_CockpitGroup.xml (Location: hybris\bin\ext-channel\cscockpit\resources\cscockpit\import\config)
My customized project is at location: hybris\bin\custom
How should I make a custom file of existing CockpitGroup.xml to include my new field?
The contents of Order_OrderSearchResult_CockpitGroup.xml are as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<list-view unassigned-group-name="Other">
<group name="General">
<property qualifier="Order.creationtime" visible="true"/>
<property qualifier="Order.code" visible="true"/>
<property qualifier="Order.salesApplication" visible="true"/>
</group>
</list-view>
I want to add a new field Order.downloadDate.
I'm assuming you are not asking how to add <property qualifier="Order.downloadDate" visible="true"/> to that xml, and are asking instead how to configure the use of your customised file.
Look at the examples in "projectdata_cscockpit_ui_components.impex" delivered with the yacceleratorcockpits template. This will form part of your Accelerator project after modulegen.

When my deployed webpart is installed I need sharepoint to auto create a list with Title Column hidden or name changed.
In order to provision some items with elements.xml in spfx please check the fallowing steps:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/web-parts/get-started/provision-sp-assets-from-package
To make title column not required and hidden You need to add Content type on which Your list will be build and in this CT You need to reference Title column as hidden and not required like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<ContentType ID="0x010019DBC07DC85E425FAC393333BE5C537A"
Name="SomeCT"
Group="SomeGroup"
Description="Some CT"
Inherits="FALSE" Version="0">
<FieldRefs>
<FieldRef ID="{fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247}" Name="Title" Hidden="TRUE" Required="FALSE" />
</FieldRefs>
</ContentType>
</Elements>
Indexing an external content type is pretty straight forward.
However I find it very troublesome to figure out the specific "crawl state" of a particular item.
Looking at the "Url View" inside SharePoint CA it shows me all my crawled/indexed items. Unfortunately the url part is nowhere near readable. So I have no clue where to look for my specific item in question.
Example:
bdc3://adventureworksdbtest/Default/00000000%2D0000%2D0000%2D0000%2D000000000000/418/AdventureworksDB/420?s_id=i0QMAAA==&s_ce=0408808680g000g10204000g0o20003s
Guid.Empty?
418?
420?
Some encoded id? (it's not BASE64. i0QMAAA== translates to nothing).
The AdventureWorks product table has a productID (int) and a name (string). In my BDC model I mapped the "Title" column to the product's "Name" column for my Product entity. See below...
<Entity Name="Product" Namespace="Rs.Exp.IndexingConnector.BuiltinDbConnector" Version="1.0.0.1">
<Properties>
<Property Name="OriginalName" Type="System.String">[Production].[Product]</Property>
<Property Name="EntitySetName" Type="System.String">[Production].[Product]</Property>
<Property Name="Title" Type="System.String">Name</Property>
</Properties>
<Identifiers>
<Identifier Name="ProductID" TypeName="System.Int32" />
</Identifiers>
<!-- [...] -->
</Entity>
That's working. However it has no influence on the "index url". Any hints? Something I have to live with? How do you debug this?
Update: DisplayUriField sounds like a good thing to look into. Although all I found so far is not what I am looking for. I'm not looking for a way to provide an url myself (where would I link to anyway?!) - I just want the "generated url" to be more meaningful.
Answering my own question in case anyone else is wondering how this works.
The Method(Instance) Property "DisplayUriField" is in fact providing the desired functionality. As a value you can set the name of a TypeDescriptor which is part of your entity schema.
For example if you have a TypeDescriptor like the one below (make sure your SELECT statement returns the column in question)...
<TypeDescriptor Name="Url" TypeName="System.String">
<Properties>
<Property Name="ShowInPicker" Type="System.Boolean">false</Property>
</Properties>
</TypeDescriptor>
...you can use it as a value for your DisplayUriField property:
<MethodInstances>
<MethodInstance Name="GetAllProducts" Type="Finder" ReturnParameterName="GetAllProducts_Returned" Default="true" DefaultDisplayName="Get All Products">
<Properties>
<Property Name="RootFinder" Type="System.String">x</Property>
<Property Name="LastModifiedTimeStampField" Type="System.String">ModifiedDate</Property>
<Property Name="DisplayUriField" Type="System.String">Url</Property>
</Properties>
</MethodInstance>
</MethodInstances>
My Database Table Url column contains urls like this
http://localhost/adventurworks/catalog/1
http://localhost/adventurworks/catalog/316
http://localhost/adventurworks/catalog/317
[...]
Whatever is in your column will be shown in SharePoints Crawl Log ("Url View").
If your column ("Url") is nullable and does not contain any value BDC will use a default name for that specific item.
Of course after all the custom url is pretty damn useless. However it allows me to figure out whether one specific item has been crawled (successfully) or not because I can relate the shown Url to the ProductID - which I cannot with those bdc3:// urls.
I have a custom configuration section defined in my app.config file. I need to get the tags and the sub tags within the created custom configuration section as a collection.
My config section is as follows,
<configSections>
<section name="myServices" type="NameSpace.ClassName, AssemblyName" />
</configSections>
<myServices>
<Tag1>
<subTag1 value="1"/>
<subTag2 value="2"/>
</Tag1>
<Tag2>
<subTag1 value="3"/>
<subTag2 value="4"/>
</Tag2>
</myServices>
My requirement is to get subtag values under each Tag as a collection.
Please help me to sort this out if any one gone through this before..
You can find very good artical here...

I am trying to use a Content Query Web Part to create a "What's New" page in Sharepoint 2010. The goal of this page is to display any documents that have been uploaded in the last 14 days. The trick is that these documents could belong to any number of lists that are defined in any number of list definitions. These are custom list definitions based on custom content types. We do have a base content type that each of our custom content types inherit from. They are also all part of the same content type group. I have determined that it is not possible to use the SP UI to set up the CQWP to return items from multiple list types, since one of the required query fields is list type. So - I'm attempting to use CAML to define this CQWP and this is where I'm having trouble. My end goal is for the CAML to be defined in a site definition (onet.xml file) but I've also not had any luck with uploading a .webpart file from the SP UI. I have found several articles that explain how this should be done but haven't been able to get the suggested solutions to work. This MSDN article tells me it should be possible using the ListsOverride element. This is how the article tells me to do it:
<![CDATA[
<Lists BaseType="0">
</Lists> ]]>
Since I'm looking for Document Libraries I would use a base type of 1 rather than 0.
I have been unable to determine the syntax for what that would actually look like from within the onet.xml file so I thought I'd start with trying to get it uploaded as a .webpart file.
This is what the ListsOverride element looks like:
<property name="ListsOverride" type="string">
<![CDATA[<Lists BaseType="1"></Lists>]]>
</property>
However - as soon as I upload a .webpart file with this in the CAML and add the webpart to a page I break that page in Sharepoint. This is what I get:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Attempted to use an object that has ceased to exist.
Research on that error points me to code that disposes of an object such as SPContext.Current.Web but I don't even have any code at all here. It almost looks like the CQWP has a bug in it. OR - I'm either not formatting that CAML properly or maybe I need to change something in a different element in the CAML?
I am running Sharepoint 2010 SP1 with all the latest patches. (I believe)
I've tried several other formats but without luck.
I tried getting rid of the embedded CDATA tags like this:
<property name="ListsOverride" type="string">
<Lists BaseType="1"></Lists>
</property>
But then Sharepoint won't let me upload the .webpart file. (Invalid .webpart file)
The format with the embedded CDATA tags seems to be the only way it lets me upload the file.
I've tried (just for the sake of narrowing down my issue) to specify specific lists like this:
<property name="ListsOverride" type="string">
<![CDATA[<Lists><List Id="{5a2f79bb-cc82-4171-88ac-65f20e7b5fa8}" /></Lists>]]>
That doesn't break the page but the webpart gives me less than useful error on the page (Unable to display this Web Part)
I'm not 100% sure that I used the appropriate GUID in that attempt. I got it from looking in the server explorer in Visual Studio (Under Lists and Libraries >> Document Libraries >> My List Type. (I got the GUID from the Id property)
I should mention that I am fairly new with Sharepoint development. I would have hoped that something seemingly so core to what Sharepoint does would be much easier than this.
Can someone please point out what I am doing wrong? Maybe I'm going about the whole thing in the wrong way? I appreciate any help that anyone can give me!
I found that the issue was all the "extra" fields that SharePoint had populated.
In my case, I started by configuring the content query web part on the page and then exporting it to get the xml. Then, I put the XML in my onet.xml file of my site definition. That worked fine initially, but as I tried to configure the base types, it did not behave as expected.
If I removed all the additional fields and just used the few fields that I actually needed to configure, then it started to work. In fact, I didn't even need to use the ListsOverride element, since there is a BaseType property that works just fine. It appears that one of the other properties that I was pulling in was really the cause of my issues.
Here's a webpart definition that I used in my onet.xml:

I have the following Feature:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Feature Id="9A3C5D02-A2EB-4725-97F7-CDA6DE319F1B"
Title="My Custom Types"
Scope="Site"
DefaultResourceFile="core"
Hidden="TRUE"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<ElementManifests>
<ElementManifest Location="Elements.xml" />
<ElementFile Location="templates/MeetingMinutes.docx" />
</ElementManifests>
</Feature>
Which contains the following Elements.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Module Name="Templates" Url="_cts/Meeting Minutes" Path="templates" RootWebOnly="TRUE">
<File Url="MeetingMinutes.docx" Type="Ghostable" />
</Module>
<ContentType
ID="0x01010066DD088A6B8B46BCA775CCD119FBB3E8"
Name="Meeting Minutes"
Group="Custom Content Types"
Version="0">
<FieldRefs />
<DocumentTemplate TargetName="MeetingMinutes.docx"/>
</ContentType>
</Elements>
I then use this ContentType within a custom List Template:
<ContentTypes>
<ContentTypeRef ID="0x0101">
<Folder TargetName="Forms/Document" />
</ContentTypeRef>
<ContentTypeRef ID="0x01010066DD088A6B8B46BCA775CCD119FBB3E8">
<Folder TargetName="Forms/Document" />
</ContentTypeRef>
<ContentTypeRef ID="0x0120" />
</ContentTypes>
I deploy the solution, activate the feature, and create an instance of the List Template. I go into the library and select Settings > Document Library Settings > Content Types: Meeting Minutes > Parent: Meeting Minutes > Advanced settings. I'm now in the Advance Settings of the Site Content Type. The URL of the existing document template is MeetingMinutes.docx and there is an (Edit Template) link which points to http://myserver/sites/testsite/_cts/Meeting%20Minutes/MeetingMinutes.docx. Everything's shiny.
But, I hit the back button two times so I'm back in the settings of the List Content Type. This time when I click Advance settings, the URL of the existing document template is still MeetingMinutes.docx, but there is no (Edit Template) link. Troubling.
Pressing on, I go back to AllItems.aspx and click New > Meeting Minutes. As Word is loading, I see a little Opening dialog which says, Opening: http://myserver/sites/testsite/Shared%20Documents/Forms/Document/MeetingMinutes.docx, to which Word responds: "Word was unable to read this document. It may be corrupt."
So the Document Template works correctly in the Site Content Type (where it does me no good), but is not working in the List Content Type (where I really need it). Now, I know I could put this in _layouts, but from what I've read, _cts is the way to do it. What am I doing wrong?
Rich, I'm not exactly sure what's going on because I created a feature using your feature and elements files as you specified and it works correctly for me.
There is one difference though.
When I create a new document in the library from the content type, the template url is
http://myserver/sites/testsite/Shared%20Documents/Forms/Meeting Minutes/MeetingMinutes.docx
Not
http://myserver/sites/testsite/Shared%20Documents/Forms/Document/MeetingMinutes.docx
Somehow your content type seems to be looking in the wrong folder for the template. I hope that gives you some clues.
I had the same exact problem with document template for List Content Type.
What I did is just what SharePoint do when you create your library from web site : duplicate the document template inside the “Forms” folder of the library in a subfolder that have the same name than the content type.
You just need to add a module element somewhere in your project :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Module Name="MeetingMinutesListInstanceTemplate" Url="Shared Documents/Meeting Minutes" Path="templates" RootWebOnly="TRUE">
<File Url="MeetingMinutes.docx" Type="Ghostable" />
</Module>
</Elements>
It worked for me.
