since the emails loads dynamically how do you find a specific email that contains a button back to your site. This is like signing up at a site. Customer receives email to confirm.
Thanks for the support

OWA, bless MS's little hearts (at least in the circa 2003 version I'm looking at here) uses frames, so first of all brush up on that or you are gonna be hating life. The list of incoming messages is in a frame named 'viewer' The message summaries are contained in a table lacking any useful means to identify it that is in a div of class 'msgViewerCont" and an ID of dvContents. So to see if a message exists you want to look to see if you can find a row in that table which contains the subject you expect to see.
(be careful using ID values on OWA.. apparently nobody in the group that developed it read the part of the HTML standard that specifies that ID values are supposed to be unique.. the re-use them all over that page.)
Presuming you know the subject of the message you are about to receive, and also that you keep that mail account cleared out so that it will be the ONLY message there with that subject line, then you can check to see if it exists usng
subject = regex.new("subject you are looking for")
browser.frame(:name, 'viewer').div(:id, dvContents).table(:index, 1).row(:text, subject).exists?
to click on it use .click instead of exists.
once you've clicked it, OWA will refresh the PreviewPane iframe.. inside that iframe is another one that has the message body in it.
all those frames, are nested inside the viewer frame. welcome to nested frame hell. hope you enjoy your stay. (like I said, bone up on frames, you're in for a fun ride)

With that said, there is a question that seems to be asked a lot and has answers - but I'm not a programmer 'enough' to understand all the different explanations. I was hoping for something more clear and concise to my very specific example and need.
I have two forms. (I might also add this is being used on Wordpress)
One form is on the first page and will collect age, home value, and debt owed - all in drop down select fields.
The second form is on the next page and will collect other contact information and upon submit - will post all the fields to my CRM.
I have been able to successfully get the data from the first form into a query string on the page of the second form. But try as I might - I just can't figure out how to get the field data from the query string into my field forms. (Both display or pre-populated and as a value ready to be submitted once the rest of the fields are completed.)
Here is an actual query string:
http://example.com/2-form-test-2-of-2/?age=75&value=572%2C500&lien=107%2C500&sendbutton=#.UYSBEKKG2So
I simply need to get "age" - "value" and "lien" from that query string showing in the fields on the 2nd page. Simple is best - even if it's 'hack-ish' as I will most likely just include the code directly on the Wordpress page that includes this form.
One possible solution is to add a piece of javascript that gets fired on page load and:
1) disables form post button
2) populates form fields with values from URL
3) enables form post button
If these values are just suggestions for user, which he could easily change before posting — this should work.
If, on the other hand, these values are internal and unchangeable by user, you should not expose these in editable form and allow user to change those by editing URL or form posting (but including these as read-only page fragments is apparently ok).
This is place for only programmers. To become a programmer, please refer some online resources and ebooks. without knowing basic concepts, you can't understand anything.
even after understanding basics, if you have doubts, you can ask here, providing the code samples you have developed.
Can a lookup be used in an HTML web resource?
I have replaced the command of the "Convert to Case" button on the email entity.
It now opens up an html web resource on click.
I need to show lookup fields to Customer and Subject.
Is there an alternative to a lookup for this situation?
Adding lookups to your own page is definitely a pain since they don't 'provide' you with a control to add it to your HTML resources. I am also not aware of any toolkits that are readily available.
A possible solution for displaying subjects (assuming you don't have too many) would be to use a HTML select element and populate it with the possible values.
As far as the customer goes, it will most likely take some creativity or elbow grease to replace since most likely you have too many accounts/contacts to display in a HTML select. One thought is you are most likely converting an e-mail with a contact or account already in the e-mail (from or regarding fields). You can try and pull all the accounts and contacts from the e-mail fields and allow the user to select one of those via radio, select, etc.
If something like that doesn't work then most likely you will need to create your own lookup, or something similar like a text box with an inline grid that gets filtered like a lookup so you don't have to recreate the entire dialog experience.
Hope that helps.
I work in a development/support team which has a shared Lotus Notes mailbox. We need to be able to associate an issue ID with each email. We started by adding this ID to the subject line (eg. "Something doesn't work [ID12345]"). For performance reasons, our IT dept don't allow indexing of shared mailboxes, so it takes a long time to search for a particular ID.
I decided to add a new ID field, which can be shown as a sortable column in views and folders. I put this field to the visible header (just below 'Subject') in the ($All) view and the ($Inbox) folder, and copied the ($Inbox) design to all the other folders in the database. That much was easy.
My problem is that when we reply or forward, this custom field is not carried over to the new memo, so we have to manually add it again before sending. And of course when the user responds, the field is again missing and must be manually added. I have searched the docs and the internet and haven't found any information on this. Either I have to declare this field as something which persists across replies and forwards, or I have to add a line somewhere which explicitly copies the field contents to the new memo.
fsw,
We do exactly this with our complaint system however our database is indexed although this should not be an issue to you. We created a view that is sorted by ID by extracting just the ID from the subject line, order it by ID and then by date descending. Base it on the $ALL folder view so you get both incoming and sent emails.
We then altered the memo form to include an embedded view single category of the new view that sits above the body which shows all other documents linked to the ticket.
This should avoid having to delve to far into the very complex mail template any further. One thing is to make sure you have a copy of the changes you made and a bit of doco re deploying as you can guarantee that one day your template will be completely overwritten in an upgrade and all your good work will be gone.
As the additional field would have to incorporated into all Memo forms in mail templates in your corporation and as these fields do not easily travel via SMTP, you should stick with the ID in the subject.
What you could do is to parse the subject (#Mid, #Right, ...) in the column formula in the view and only display the ID there (like you did with the additional field).
The other option I envision if having a field is required is to have an agent that processes the incoming message(reply) to have it parse out the issue ID from the subject and write it to the field. You could also do that with queryopen or postopen if running an agent is not possible
How to automatically print a form when a new item is posted to a list in SharePoint?
I created a list in SP, with customized Entry and Edit forms and a workflow that connects them. Every time a new item is posted the Entry form needs to be used, but when I click submit I need the workflow not only to post the item to the list, but also generate a 'Print form' that can either saved or printed.
Considering the event, adding an item triggers an SPItemEventReceiver.ItemAdded. You would call your printing code from within this event, and deploy the functionality through a Feature.
To give a really specific answer, you'll need to explain a bit more - where should the printing occur? On the machine from which the list was modified, or some central printing location?
More generally, Sharepoint can trigger a variety of events. Ishai Sagi's blog has a user-triggered solution that may give you some ideas. You could use a Javascript event as explained here. You could even send a specially-formatted email to a computer with Outlook running, with a rule that triggers a print.
I'm building a SharePoint (MOSS) publishing site for employee information on my company website. I have an employee content type and am using the Contact E-Mail Address site column to store an employee's email address.
Want I'd like is the ability to encode email addresses at runtime to prevent the real email address from being harvested by spammers. This would be decoded when a user clicks the email hyperlink e.g. the following HTML would be sent to the browser:
Email Jonny
I already have the javascript methods for encoding/decoding a text value from the meaningless string above, but am not too sure as to how to approach this with SharePoint in mind. I'm thinking a custom control and/or custom J-Query?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Jonny
In the case that you are unable to put the users into AD, a custom field control will give you the ability to include the custom rendering (jquery) you require as well as the ability to enter the data as "normal" text.
The custom field, once defined "just works" wherever you need to display the field.
Given you are thinking of using JQuery, the issue then becomes one of making sure the jquery library is correctly linked whenever you need to us a field of this type.
If you make those employees members of the site, SharePoint takes care of this issue.
You can send emails to them, but the email address will only be used at send time, when you add a button to email someone, it will not show the email address, its handled at the backend.
SPUtility.SendEmail(SPContext.Current.Web, false, false,
[SPUser.Email][1], "E-mail title",
"E-mail body");
(source: msdn.com)
Two more options/approaches you can try:
(1) implement a custom TextField control, inheriting from Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.TextField and override RenderFieldForDisplay
Then in code - encode the field for display.
Add this control to safecontrols and use this in place of the normal TextField in the pagelayout.
(2) use the existing TextField control, but inject a button [Encode] using jQuery next to the TextField in editmode.
Use the JavaScript encode method to encode what the user has typed into an encoded value, replacing the existing TextField value. Which they can then save to into SharePoint.
I'd rate the approaches based on your deployment scenario - Nat's one is the cleanest but probably more involved for deploying, and the jQuery-only one seems very hackish but easy on deployment. The override TextField approach would probably sit somewhere in the middle.
