I need a resize column capability in on a Google Sites Page based on the List Page Template.
Can anyone suggest a possible workaround for this, other than embedding a spreadsheet which looks really bad
As far as I know there's no way to change columns size. About Google Spreadsheets, they look better if you insert the URL of a published spreadsheet (published as web page that is). The embed tag looks sth like this:

What is the starting point to create a search display template in a table format and be able to specify which columns you want to display. Presently, the default format only shows the title, description, and link in a 3 row list. I would like to change this to have title, description, link in 3 columns (table format) and be able to add or remove more columns.
What I have managed till now is create a search page for Tasks, that only searches for files of that specific content type. Now I want to be able to decide which columns are shown in the resulting view and if possible show them in a tabular format.
I was thinking about finding a similar template and try edit the HTML to make it look as I want it. Is there a similar template? Or perhaps a ready template which I missed?
Thanks!
There was indeed a similar template, very similar to what I needed:
Displaying SharePoint 2013 Search Results in a Table
The table template html files are also provided for under an MIT License.
I have an Excel file that connects to our customer database. In there, I can break down the number of customers using a Pivot table. For instance, I would see that there are X female customers of age 18-25 who live in the US.
What I'd like to do now, is take this number X, turn it into a link that, when clicked, opens a web browser window to a web application which is also connected to the same customer database and does something with this specific customer segment (i.e. builds a contact file for a newsletter application etc.)
I have no idea how this can be done. I assume that it may be possible to add a custom button to the Excel toolbar which would extract all the current pivot table settings so that I can send them as URL parameters to my web app. Is this possible? If so, how is it done?
Can you help me in the right direction please?
Thx a lot!
No need to create buttons if you dont have to.
You can use the HYPERLINK() function and concatenate the URL out of text and cell values.
So for example the URL for this page in an excel cell would be:
=HYPERLINK("https://stackoverflow.com/questions/"&A1&"/excel-pivot-table-open-url-with-pivot-table-settings-as-parameter")
Where cell A1 = 18843796
18843796 being the id for this question. You can do this with as many parameters as you want.
This will create a clickable URL which will automatically open your default browser.
I have a simple list where I am entering a name, a timeframe, and a tag. I'd like to create a custom view of this data where timeframe becomes column heading and tag is the row definition and the name is displayed in grid. What's the simplest way to accomplish this?
Use a Content Query Web Part to display the list.
You can add a custom item template to the ITEMSTYLE.XSL file in Style Library/XSL Style Sheets directory. With a simple structure like you are describing you can easily pivot and format the data.
For general syntax and an overview take a look at Heather Solomon's post: http://www.heathersolomon.com/blog/articles/CustomItemStyle.aspx

Am relatively new to Sharepoint 2010 so apologies if this is a lame question.
On a public facing website with a search function from Sharepoint 2010 a search query takes you to a page http://www.site.com/searchCenter/results.aspx?k=searchstring
That page has a blue header with orange, a left column with refinements and then the search results returned in a central column.
Is there a way to change the ENTIRE look of that page to fit the look of the public site and embed the results returned into the page?
Thanks!
Yes, you will just need to modify the minimal.master which is the master page that the search site should be using. You should be able to make the search results page look exactly like the rest of your site if you want it to.
I am retrieving a list of values from a sharepoint list, which works well but my problem is that it only retrieves the first 100 records. there are currently 500 records that should be available.
Scenario: I have two comboboxes on an infopath form:
A List of Locations
A list of areas within the locations
the list of locations will filter the list of areas but as infopath seems to only retrieve the first 100 records so most of the locations do not show any areas as there is nothing to filter.
By design, the query will only return the first page of results from the default view for the list. Change the item limit for the default view in SharePoint, and you'll change the returned values for InfoPath.
EDIT (links from my comments, here for greater readability):
Here are sources describing this fix in MSDN forum (scroll to the bottom), a blog comment that describes the SharePoint setting step-by-step, one with a screen cap of the somewhat counter-intuitive interface, and another describing performance implications on the server side.
Hope this helps.
Just documenting what I have discovered trying to resolve the problem. I have not been able to change the default view as yet as I dont have the permission to. That should change though.
One possible workaround I have found is that you can export the list to Excel which contains all the data that I was looking for. the file that sharepoint produces is an Excel Query file like "export.iqy". You can save and open the file in notepad. which will look something like the following

http://SharepointSite/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?XMLDATA=1&List={14C4ED2B-3050-4C47-B5F3-6333C3B0FB28}&View={8E6124E0-23F2-4BA2-86E7-96E7F36BAEC8}&RowLimit=0&RootFolder=%2fLists%2fSharepoint%20Sites
Selection={14C4ED2B-3050-4C47-B5F3-6333C3B0FB28}-{8E6124E0-23F2-4BA2-86E7-96E7F36BAEC8}
EditWebPage=
Formatting=None
PreFormattedTextToColumns=True
ConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne=True
SingleBlockTextImport=False

SharePointListView={8E6124E0-23F2-4BA2-86E7-96E7F36BAEC8}
SharePointListName={14C4ED2B-3050-4C47-B5F3-6333C3B0FB28}
RootFolder=/Lists/My list
You can take the third line which is -
http://SharepointSite/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?XMLDATA=1&List={14C4ED2B-3050-4C47-B5F3-6333C3B0FB28}&View={8E6124E0-23F2-4BA2-86E7-96E7F36BAEC8}&RowLimit=0&RootFolder=%2fLists%2fSharepoint%20Sites
And use that to retrieve the complete list. I added an new receive data connection, selected an xml document and added the above URL.
It is not formated particullary nice but it will return all the data that I was expecting.
I think that Argalatyr solution is much simpler at this point, but it depends on if i am able to get the default view changed.
there is yet one workaround of this without such hardcoding. If you open Query editor, then you have there available ribbon with menu items. Open "Home" -> "Select top rows" and enter there some realy high number (I have in my list 596 rows, so I entered there as limit of top rows 20000 and I got whole list).
Sorry, I don't have available English version of Excel, so I cannot add screenshots.
