magento advanced search with multiple select menu's - search

I'm using magento and I have a question about the advanced search form. In this form I use 2 select menu's.
The first option value of the select menu's pretends as the name of the select menu, i'm wondering if its possible to give that option value an empty value. This should work better when a customer want to search only on one of the two select menu's. Else it uses both select values.
Someone knows if this is possible?
Thanks in advance!

Add custom field to sublist

I need to add a checkbox field to the item sublist of a purchase order, can someone tell me how to do this? I can't seem to find any definitive information on how this works.
thanks in advance for any help
OK, got it. You go to the form that you are modifying (in this case) Purchase Orders. You go to the customize menu in the right upper corner, you select "New Column Field" and fill out the relevant type information. Then go to customize form, for the form you are going to use. Go to the screen fields tab, select the columns sub-tab and drag the column to it's new location. That's it

VBA - MultiSelect in a DropDown

I have a Requirement Where a bundle of Items needs to be displayed in the Drop-Down List. The Problem for me is, because there are so many Items inside it, I need to Use Combobox over List-Box. The Reason for that is, if I know the name of the item, I can type in the search box of the drop-down and get my Item, Combo-Box allows you to do that. But the List Box doesn't allow the User Input.
Now, Because there are some which names cannot be remembered, I need to use the Scroll bar in the drop-down to pick up the time. This is hectic, to select a single Item. I would like to have the facility of Using a Multi-select in this case.
So the Requirements are below:
1) A Drop-Down that allows the user to type in part of the Input(Say Ref for Refreigerator)
2) A Drop-Down that allows the Multi-select.
Obviously, I don't want to have two drop-downs Splitting the data.
I am open to other Suggestions.
Please Share your thoughts.

You might be able to change the location of the buttons using skinning:

Sharepoint re-order item order in the list

In the list, I set-up "ID" column and "Title" column.
I added 10 items in the list, and I'm trying to put the 10th item between 1 and 2.
After my research, many people said I can't manually change ID number...
Is there a way to re-order the item?
deleting every items is the only answer?
Please help!
The ID column is an internal identity-like column. You cannot change the value. If you need a column that you can order by (and change), just create a new column called SortOrder or something. Then sort by that column.
I know this is an old post, but I thought this might help someone who might be looking for an OOB answer.
Go into your links list so that you see your List Tools, Items and List at the top.
Select Items.
There is a Change Item Order Icon in the Ribbon. This will allow you to renumber the Links in your list and change the order.
You can manually change the items order if you create your list based on a link list definition. This kind of list allows you to re-order items as you require through a ribbon button. I use this workaround often.
The ID Column is SharePoint inbuilt and you can not change the value of it.
for your solution either you need to delete all item and insert it again or as #Nigel Whatling say you have to add SortColumn
Column Setting will only change the order in the SharePoint List. To change the view order Use the Modify View Selector to adjust the way the fields are sorted. Modify View is found on the ... next to Find and Item Box or If your in the site setting it is under View on the lower 3rd of the page
I also got stuck with this and couldn't use the previous answers as I couldn't see the buttons they spoke of in the ribbon.
I went to List > List Settings in the ribbon. At the bottom of the list settings page I click on a View to edit it (or create new view). Unser the heading Sort you can change the column you wish to sort by and change from descending to ascending etc.
Actually, if I understand the question, it was just what I was trying to accomplish and spent most of my morning working on.
Select the List.
From toolbar, select List under List Tools.
Click List Settings.
Below the listed columns, see Column Ordering
Modify "Position from Top" number and click OK at bottom.
Updated steps:
Select the List.
From toolbar, select List under List Tools.
Click List Settings.
Above the Column list click on the "Item" link
At the bottom of the page select "Column Ordering"
Modify "Position from Top" number and click OK at bottom.

Limit Column Options in Advanced Find

In Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 you can create views using advanced find. Inside advanced find, you should define for a specific entity which columns you want to see in the result.
What I want to do is limit or hide specific columns that people can choose for the advanced find.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hi Rob,
Out of the box you can disable a column from being 'searched' --
listed in the filtering area of the advanced find.
However, all fields that a user can read are avail for selection in
the advanced find. The only method to change this would be custom
code in a 'plug-in'. Then with a plug-in just about anything is
possible as it is compiled code and you could filter out certain
columns from being available.

The comments by Alex Fagundes, with all due respect, are wrong. As ckeller suggested, you can limit the columns displayed to the user, and you certainly don't need a plug-in to do this (nor could you even if you wanted to, so far as I know).
In the client, all you have to do is navigate to the entity the advanced find view of which you want to change, click the "Customize" tab, click "System Views", click on the advanced find view, click "Add Columns", select/deselect the columns you do/don't want to see, then publish your changes.
You can also select/deselect columns of any appropriate related entity this way as well.
If you mean search columns (fields they can search by):
To limit the columns they see in an advanced find search, you have a fun job on your hands.
Go to Settings -> Customisations -> and choose the entity you want and list all the fields.
Double click on each field in turn and you will see a drop down menu called 'Searchable'. Set this to 'No' and the field is hidden from Advanced find searches (after you publish your changes).
Repeat this for all fields required.
If you mean fields they see in their results:

The solution of Peter will only change the default view for advanced find. The user will still be able to add all columns and customize his own view.
Fields cannot be removed from "add column" in advanced find OOTB. This is what Alex Fagundes from PowerObjects has written.
