I am sorry if this has been asked before, but a google search of stackoverflow didn't find anything relevant.
We are about to pilot blogging within our organisation and as part of compliance we require every comment left on a blog to have a link associated with it for users to flag the comment as inappropriate.
My thinking is that this link could simply change the comment's status from approved to pending and possible send an email to the approvers to go and check it.
By default we need comments to not need pre-approval.
Could anyone please explain the different ways of achieving this? Is there a way of achieving this using SharePoint settings (i.e. no code)?
i think you want to have approve/reject only when users flagged/report that comment ..
it is possible to do with sharepoint designer without any code or coding
you should define a workflow that if creator same as modifier approved automatically and when someone edit or flagged as blob ... change that item status to suspend and workflow not fired. because that condition is not true. and modifier and creator different people

I wanted to get some advice on how to create a shared leave calendar for my workplace to try and make it easier to book leave.
At present, unfortunately we don't have a facility where we can view what leave availability there is and are going back and forth with rejecting leave due to staff not being able to see what they can book.
I was looking to create a calendar of some sort whether this is in Outlook, Excel, Access, I am not fussed but something that can be shared and also giving the users more coverage of availability.
Any advice on a solution or workaround would really be useful as im not sure how to start this off.
Thanks in advance.
Do you have access to Google Docs in your office? If yes, everyone
can have a view access of a common leave calendar (which can be an
excel file) and the supervisor can have write access so that only he
can make changes.
If you don't have access to google docs, the supervisor can create a 2nd calendar specifically for leaves) and share it with
the team so that team members can have a view access. You can find more
details on creating a new calendar here: [https://faqs.aber.ac.uk/146][1]
Google calendars can be shared across multiple accounts - you can view other people's calendars but not edit the information on them depending on permissions. So the leave calendar would be attached to the manager's account and they would need to approve changes but everyone could view. If someone wants to request leave they can add it as an event to their own calendar and 'Invite' the manager to the event. The manager can then accept the invite and add it to their own calendar which everyone would see.
I am looking for a solution to a very standard concept. In most social communities, there is a way for a user to be alerted if someone responds to something they posted. However, I am not seeing a way to accomplish this in the SharePoint 2013 Community Site. Need some assistance. Is there a way to accomplish this?

You can only alert on an item if it changes. There is no OOB way to alert on a response to an item.
You can set up alerts on the list for new items but not for specific items (other than changes to that item).
I am going to organize a team event at my workplace.
I want to call in team nominations for the same.
However, to make the mail interesting, I want to design the mail in such a way that after the usual descriptive content, there should be a form and a button with various fields.
For e.g.
Team Name:
Team Leader:
Member1:
Member2:
Member3:
Submit Button
So, the receiver fills these fields with relevant details and on hitting the submit button, I receive a mail back with the nomination details.
Can someone please tell me if this is possible in Lotus Notes and if possible can someone guide me to a simple example somewhere on the web.
Please note that I will not be able to do Notes Scripting. So it there is some inbuild function to create text boxes or user forms similar to button functionality available, then I want to be guided with that.
Thanks for reading.
Yes, this is possible, and it is quite easy, if you know how to do it.
BUT: You will most probably not be able to do this, as you need the Domino Designer to achieve what you want. If you HAD the Domino Designer, your question would have been more concrete, so I guess you don't have it.
If you want to try it: Get The Domino Designer with the right version for your environment, install it and try working with it.
The most current version of designer can be found here.
The Domino Designer Help will be a good starting point for you, but without a training or at least somebody who shows you the basics, it will be not possible for you to achieve what you want.
Almost forgot: If your admins did not give you the appropriate rights in the Domino environment, then you will not be able to bring your code to the server, and that means it will be very hard to distribute the form to the users.
We have a doc library, Requirement is that only the user who has contributed to the document should be able to see the document and other user who has access to the library should not see that.
Can you please help me to achieve this.
Update: I talked to my TL he said, we need multiple Views on the Doc Library. Any one with new Ideas?
Add a custom view to the document library that only displays the items if the current user == creator of the document.
Set this view as the default view.
Prohibit users from changing the view.
If you are after a true permission based solution, you could develop a event handler for the adding item handler that sets the permission on the newly created item.
(By breaking parent inheritance also)
Set only permissions (owner) for the user that created the item.
EDIT: Just re-read your question. I didn't understand correctly. I missed the "contribution" part. Anyway, I will let my answer be here.
Adding a view is not really good practice. If one want's to gain access to the data he can do so by working with the lists web service. the solution is much simpler then it seems.
1. you need to install this: http://spdactivities.codeplex.com/.
This add-on will add you work flow activities to the SP Designer.
2. create a workflow doing what you described. It will take you no more then 10 minutes.
That's it :)
We are using the default Task list from a Team Site and would like to only allow those that the Task is "Assigned To" to edit the tasks. How do you go about enforcing this?
When we tried the "Advanced Settings", we found that "Only their own" meant only those tasks created by the current user.
It looks like you need to create an event handler that updates the permission on the Task everytime the assigned user is changed.
Quite a few people have had this problem in the past.
Check out this site for an example of the problems people have had. That said it should work out-of-the-box if you copy content when setting up the Task List.
Looks like, an event handler is the way to go. I found this page in some of my searching and it explains a lot of the problems related to this issue:

Unfortunately, the client wants no custom code and wanted SP Designer workflows and browser based customizations only...
