I want to create a web part in which I want to display history of all workflows that failed in the past certain time. The info that I want to get is the workflow name, its location (site URL), initiator and error date time. I am very new to SharePoint with ASP.Net background so I am having a hard time figuring out if there is some way in the API to that?
Kindly share if this is possible?
Its a hidden list so you can't get to it from All Site Content. You have to type the URL in directly, like below. And once you have the URL of the list you can query the individual fields
http://[servername]/[sitename]/lists/Workflow%20History

I have a page hosted on an external site and I would like to create a form on that page. The use of the form would be to collect data to create SO in Netsuite.
In the form itself, I would like to have an autopopulate functionality so that for e.g. when I put in "Kat" in End User contact, I see all contacts starting with "Kat". This will enable me to select a correct contact and also help prevent duplication of data. Can you please guide me on how to structure this flow. What Netsuite components should i be using? For the external site, it will use Django.
Thanks
You need to create a couple of RESTlets in NetSuite. One to perform a search to get the contacts and return them in the payload, and one to create sales order in NetSuite and populate it with the values provided in the payload.
How are you solving the issue with CORS?
Is it possible to have a field in the current item be changed by clicking a URL? The field would be a choice field with predefined choices.
Such as if the item field is currently:
Status: 2
If a user clicks the link, the field would now be:
Status: 3
If not, is there any other way for a user to easily change a field in the current item without actually haveing to visit the item?
Thanks!
Not Out Of The Box (OOTB) - but you've a few options.
Write an ASPX page to do what you want
Use something like SPServices and javascript to update the list item via the web services.
Use the Client Object Model (2010 only)
By the way - changing stuff on a 'get' can be dangerous as you can do malicious things - for example imagine you have a page that deletes the users account without any prompting (exact example doesn't matter) - what if someone clicks on that link by mistake or even worse what about an email sent with an image with that page as source URL - simply viewing the email could delete the users account.
It's not possible by using a GET request, but SharePoint 2010 is offering a RESTful API to manage ListItems from any client
The REST API is located within the virtual WebServices folgder under each SharePoint Site.
http://YourSharePointSite/_vti_bin/ListData.svc.
To perform an update on SharePoint ListItems you have to create a PUT Request. For more information on SharePoints REST API you should have a look at this MSDN site, there are also a lot of samples linked from this article.

I'm in charge of a Sharepoint collection, and a user asks this. Is it possible that when a user creates an item, some fields are automatically filled with some info, such as email address and location?
Authentication uses Active Directory, so every user is identified when using Sharepoint. The only issue is that, being in a big corporate company, I don't have any access to the server, so it must be feasible through configuration of said site/list or using Sharepoint Designer, but I can't and won't be allowed to deploy anything server side.
Any idea?
With your limitations, your best bet would be a combination of ajax (I suggest jquery) and sharepoint webservices (if necessary), you need to do a XmlHttpRequest in the userdisp.aspx page, if this page has all the info you need, then get it, otherwise, get the currently logged account and use it to query the webservices (this part I'm not sure if theres a method that will return this info).
This all works using only the browser (Content Editor WebPart) or the SharePoint Designer client.
I'm currently working on a MOSS 2007 site and i need to set up a "system" which will e-mail all the changes in all the lists and libraries in the site.
I'm new to the Sharepoint world, i wonder if it is possible.
P.S. I have no access to the Central Administration panel. (If it has anything to do with my purpose)
Thanks
You can write custom timer job to do this task.
You could do it in this way:
Create custom timer job feature, set timerjob schedule.
On FeatureActivated event add that timerjob to SharePoint and have a [Persisted] property like SiteUrl in timerjob, which you could pass in constructor to let timerjob determine with which site to work with.
Use SPWeb.SiteUsers to get all users in SharePoint.
Loop each user, open new SPSite impersonated as each user.
On SPSite.RootWeb (SPWeb) execute GetSiteData (read community comments for some great examples and explanation on how to use it). Use Query that queries items where Modified field has value greater than (follow link for important info to query correctly) what you want.
Generate html out of your data and SPUtility.SendMail.
There is a scheduled reminder job feature available. However it works only on 1 List scope. But you can download source code, open RmdJobDefinition class and just see how it works to assist you writing your own class.
Good luck.
I'm afraid you can only setup the alert on a list (or item) basis. In the list you go to Actions => Alerts => When to send alerts => Weekly. I didn't check the Central Admin since you don't have access in your scenario.
I am trying to connect to simple webparts in my sharepoint team site, i need one of the webparts to filter its information based on what it recieves from another webpart
I am using the query string filter webpart and the a list view webpart but no matter how i connect them always i am getting this error
"Web Part Error: This page has exceeded its data fetch limit for connected Web Parts. Try disconnecting one or more Web Parts to correct the problem."
What should I do and what am I doing wrong
update:
i can connect to web parts on some other pgae, but getting this error on the DispForm.aspx page of a certain item , is webpart connections not allowed there ??!!
There is an issue with creating QueryString filter webparts in sharepoint, when you're not using the Web UI (I'm making an assumption that you aren't).
This fella here has a post about it and how he hacked around the issue.

Another option is not using the QueryString filter web part at all, and just passing querystrings to a regular web part.

Me too,you look this url

I have fixed this issue.
Problem
In the sharepoint list, filtered column name in query strng fitlter has been deleted and added new column with same name.
Solution: Remove filter and Set current view again in webpart properties. It works fine.

The page 'DispForm.aspx' usually is a form of a SharePoint list and different rules apply to list-form pages than on pages that do not belong to a Sharepoint list (and the differences are hardly documented). I solved the problem by workarounds; you could use not a ListViewWebPart, but a DataViewWebPart (Using Query String and Data view WebPart), or you could avoid the QueryStringFilterWebPart by using URL parameters that the ListViewWebPart understands (ListViewWebPart Filter Param).
