I have a little question. I developed a database using Lotus Domino Designer and I create a structure (MainStructure), then I create page (RootPage). Now I need to insert MainStructure into RootPage and I don't know how to do this. Can you help me?
If what you've done is create an outline, you will need to create a page, and within the page insert the outline with Create/Insert Embedded Element/Outline

In Visio I can create template drawings(*.vstx) and I can also add more pages to a drawing (*.vsdx).
When I try to insert a template as a page into my existing drawing it opens as a totally new drawing and not as a page as I want. It seems I can only add blank pages to my existing drawing?
Anyone know any working solution on this or is it even possible?
Thanks in advance.
A template is a file to start from, not a single page to insert in another document.
Usually people insert shapes in a page, not pages on a document.
What are you trying to accomplish?
You can use this tool VisioSuperUtilities by Paul Herber
Or write your own code for do it.
Right now I am learning SPFx for SharePoint Online. My customer wants to modify the 'edit form' of a document library in a way that if a user starts typing keywords into the Summary field, predifined keywords are displayed which share the same letters in the beginning.
I was wondering if I can use SPFx to geht this job done
I thought maybe I can bind the ID of the summary textbox to a javascript file which then does the heavy lifting.
Thank you for your help
Yes, you can create a edit form with SPFx, however, you can't replace the default edit form with the one you created with SPFx.
The only way to replace the default edit form is using PowerApps or InfoPath to create a new form, however, I don't think that we can achieve the goal with these two solution.
Maybe you should create your own list web part, and implement the edit button of the web part, such that the web part will show your edit form with the auto completion.
I need to add an ability for users to add custom views for a Survey List. Using Designer is not an option.
In order to add a new View I now open the standard SharePoint form "/_layouts/ViewNew.aspx?List={SurveyListID}".
I setup a new view selecting the fields I want to see. Then, when I look at this View it looks like standard "{SurveyTitle}/overview.aspx" view no matter what I do. But I need it to look more like a SharePoint list view. I've seen dozens blog posts where people used this method and no one mentioned any problems like I am having. I've tried this method using 3 different SharePoint farms and I get the same behavior.
I was able to create a view that works OK using Designer by copying "All Responses" View and editing . However, forcing users to use Designer is not a great idea.
Does anyone know an easy method to force my custom views to display properly in Survey List?
Finally, I've found solution.
Open the page /_layouts/ViewType.aspx?List={SurveyListID}
Create a view based on "All Responses" View
Done! No need to use Designer
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!
When you click on the name of a library, go to the documents tab, click on "upload document".
An upload form appears that is created using the dialog framework. The 1st choice on the form is content type.
I need to instead launch a custom infopath form that will allow me to dynamically populate a 2nd dropdown box on the page after the content type (still 1st) dropdown is populated.
I feel like I'm really grasping at straws here. At this point I could use a reference to a relevant section of a book, a link to a relevant post or even just the correct terms to put into a google search. What is the correct name for that form?
I found this which seems to teach you how to insert a customized aspx form: http://microsoftsharepointandbeyond.blogspot.com/2009/10/customizing-ootb-sharepoint-forms.html
But I'd really like one that uses Infopath instead.
Any advice or direction you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
I'm pretty sure doing this with infopath is not possible, the forms are bound to a (codebehind) class in the SharePoint object model, which handles the actual upload (add to list, set field values etc. etc.).
A custom aspx page would be possible though, exactly as the post you mentioned descibes. I agree with the post's author that an HttpModule would be best, because:
editing the OOTB upload.aspx in the 14 hive would make your environment unsupported (i.e. if anything brakes, MS will have you revert your farm to a supported state before they come and help you.
The next time you install an update for sharepoint, your changes could be overwritten.
