I don't have much experience with Big Commerce. We've been trying for weeks to accomplish what should be very simple.
We have five text fields, for a customer to enter their eyewear prescription, and our customer wants them in one row. BigCommerce displays them as five rows in one column. I've experimented with the html templates and the css, I've searched here and Google, etc. I haven't figured out how to isolate the individual fields in order to format them.
Can anyone help?
Use a web inspection tool like firebug or the built-in developer tools in firefox, and hover over the text boxes you want to format. That should tell you a class you can target.
The class of your input element is something like "Field validation productAttributeFluidWidth"

I have two connected DataFormWebparts on a site page, with one web part filtering the data in the other, and this works fine as long as the design style allows the options to be clicked on i.e. the information is laid out in text format.
However If I change the style to be a drop down list then the filtering no longer works. I'm assuming this is because there is no longer a hyperlink to trigger off the event, but is there a way to make it work in this format?
jquery to the rescue. hide the links. show the dropdown and with jquery or javascript, trigger the link click on dropdown index change. try to google out. hope these hints help
faced same issue. i did this as i had less time
I have a sheet in excel that is basically like a database (yes it has to be in excel unfortunately) and I want to design a simple form to display the records (the different column values in the rows). Usually MS is good with making widgets to do this but I cant seem to figure out how to write it in VBA (easily)
Basically I have a list of Names and ID#'s then some other columns that need to be filled in (address, order # etc) but I'd like the user to do this via a form rather than typing in excel. I created a small form in VBA, but now I cant link the columns to the textboxes in the form.
Anyone know of any code I can plug and play to do this.
Specifically I am using a ComboBox (for the list of names) and then a for loop searching through it to find the selection and updating data. But its a real pain.
plus I cant figure out how to put in a 'Next' button, which is really annoying me. Does anyone know how to change the comboBox value to the next row, if it is linked via RowSource
Have you considered the Form feature? You can find under the commands you can add to your QuickAccess toolbar.

I have developed a list in SharePoint. While entering new item in it, like name, if I keep on typing it gets spread over a line making the width of cloumn spread over page. I want to limit the width of site column so as the column's value spreads over multiple lines instead of spreading over one. How can I do this setting?
This is not a setting you can configure in SharePoint. You will need to write some custom code using css and possibly javascript that will set the width of the column. You can make a change like this in SharePoint Designer.
You must use min-width (CSS) in your block.
You have to create custom XSLT for this. There you have loop all the column and need to specify the overflow:auto, hidden,.. CSS property. So it automatically get effect based on your internal name of the field.
So whereever you have the field it automatically get affected. If it for one single view you can use JavaScript to achieve this but this is not right way to do.
The data you are entering can be displayed in many ways. Today in a table format, tomorrow in a dropdown etc. You should distinguish between:
limiting the amount of data that can be entered in a site column (can be done in SharePoint alone, when you design your list)
limiting the wrapping of the words in a table cell today or trimming the values in a dropdown tomorrow (can be done using HTML/CSS "nowrap" if you display the list values in a browser app, or differently if you show the values in a WinForms app)
I have a custom publishing page layout I have created. The content type behind the page layout has a lookup column pointing to a document library where I store images. Basically, the pages I am creating from the layout are 'articles' and I have an associated image with each.
As you can probably guess by now, I want to display the lookup image on the page. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this. I have been inserting columns into the page layout via controls, but I'm not sure how to format it to look at the source document behind the lookup column. I am wondering if it is possible somehow through controls, and if not this way, if it can be done through modifying the XSL of a webpart. My last option which I don't want to use but I know it would work is a workflow (on new item creation, copy Name (FileLeafRef) into a hidden single line text field I coult utilize).
Does anyone know how to format a lookup column to display Name (FileLeafRef)?
Help is greatly appreciated!

We have a reporting web site and in the search screen most of the fields are comboboxes. We then AND all the fields together to get a filtered list of records. For example if i chose NY in the City dropdown and priority 1 in the priority dropdown and sales in the team dropdown, it would general something that looked like this (pseudo SQL)
Show me all record where City = 'NY' AND Priotity = '1' AND Team = 'Sales'
We now just added tagging to our records so to support searching by tag(s), we added an additional textbox to search by TAG where you can entered a comma seperated list.
Right now this is an autocomplete textbox which supports multiple entries.(similar to the Multiple Cities (local) example on this page.
When we rolled it out people had different expectation on how search would work when you entered multiple items in the text box. Would it:
Do an AND and only return records that had ALL of the tags listed.
Do an OR and return records that has ANY of the tags listed.
It turns out that we rolled out #1 but many people expected #2. Is this just basically preference or is there a default standard here in this example. Our only solution right now is to add a radio button next to the textbox to say ALL or ANY
If your users expect it to work one way then that's the way it should work.
This is a great example of why you should test early and often with actual users.
I'd say it is not basically preference, but expectations based on what users experience in other types of searches. The "OR" was probably expected by your users as use of tagging gets pretty close to being like a search engine searching on any word in a text and most search engines do an "OR" and then order the results according to how many terms (tags) were "hit".
If going all the way supporting AND and OR operators is not feasible right now, then I would indeed offer an "All" versus "Any" radio button and default it to "Any".
