Hi Marc

I am adding a new discussion with my problem.

I have 2 lists:

ListB name-->Quote Term Type---> columns: Title, Description(single line of Text)

---------- -----------------------------

Term1 terms and conditions related to term1..................

Term2 terms and conditions related to term2.................

ListA name--->Terms---> columns:

Terms( lookup to ListB:Title) , Description(Multiple lines of text)

so when user select some value in ddl in ListA(ex: Term1) , related text should display in ListA: Description.

Its is displaying If I use ListA: Description as Single line of text, but I need the description column as Multiple lines of text. ( not working with multiple lines of text column).

My Code:

columnName: "Terms",

relatedList: "Quote Term Type",

relatedListColumn: "Title",

relatedColumns: ["Description"],

displayFormat: "list",

//Hide Column Headers and the data output from original function, not using the function as originally designed

//headerCSSClass: "ms-hidden",

//rowCSSClass:"ms-hidden",

completefunc: SetFields,

debug: true

});

function SetFields(){

var srcDivId = "SPDisplayRelatedInfo_Terms";

var tds = document.getElementById(srcDivId).getElementsByTagName("td");

var Column1Data = tds[0].innerHTML;

var theDropDown = getTagFromIdentifierAndTitle("select","","Terms");

var theTextBox = getTagFromIdentifierAndTitle("input","","Description");

//This is what prevents it from being changed every time the page flips.

if (theTextBox.value==""){

theTextBox.value = Column1Data;

}

else if (theTextBox.value!==Column1Data){

theDropDown.parentElement.onclick = function(){

theTextBox.value = Column1Data;

};

}

};

function getTagFromIdentifierAndTitle(tagName, identifier, title) {

var len = identifier.length;

var tags = document.getElementsByTagName(tagName);

for (var i=0; i < tags.length; i++) {

var tempString = tags[i].id;

if (tags[i].title == title && (identifier == "" || tempString.indexOf(identifier) == tempString.length - len)) {

return tags[i];

}

return null;

};

</script>

Any ideas

Cheers

Commented Issue: Extend SPFilterDropdown with CAMLQueryOptions or RecursiveAll [9785]

benigemperle — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:06:38 GMT

thIf you have a standard SharePoint Lookup-Field linked to a Document Library, it shows files and folders recursive. The recursive-functionality is lost when using SPFilterDropdown.

Please either extend SPFilterDropdown with CAMLQueryOptions option, e.g.
$().SPServices.SPFilterDropdown({
relationshipList: "Files",
relationshipListColumn: "Title",
columnName: "File",
CAMLQuery: "<And><Eq><FieldRef Name='FSObjType' /><Value Type='Lookup'>1</Value></Eq><IsNotNull><FieldRef Name='Title' /></IsNotNull></And>",
CAMLQueryOptions: '<QueryOptions><ViewAttributes Scope="RecursiveAll"/></QueryOptions>',
completefunc: null
});

or change the hardcoded CAMLQueryOptions to:
CAMLQueryOptions:"<QueryOptions><IncludeMandatoryColumns>FALSE</IncludeMandatoryColumns><ViewAttributes Scope=\"RecursiveAll\"/></QueryOptions>"
Comments: ** Comment from web user: benigemperle **

It works in 0.7.1a.
Thanks!

That is correct spevilgenius. The multiple lines of text is a append only type field. Do you know how to access these versions?

Thanks for the feedback Paul, much appreciated. Ok that makes perfect sense! I also like the inclusion of the slow/fast function, great idea.

Carl,
I do not know of an automated way in SPServices to do that. What you are describing is something that is too specific and custom. SPServices is meant for interacting with SP's web services API.

What you are asking for can be done with a little JavaScript. One approach is to use CSS classes. Example: place a class named group1 on all columns for the first group of columns you want to show hide. Place group2 on the columns for the second group. The classes need be placed on each row of the on the table , including the table headers. You might have to customize the edit form (ex: through SP Designer) to include the classes as it builds the table)

To hide and show, you can do something like:
$(".group1").hide("slow", function(){ $("group2").show("slow"); })

Are you talking about a field that you have setup as an Append Only type field? I believe that if this is the case, then SharePoint creates versions for each item when comments are added.

New Post: SPServices 0.7.0 -> 0.7.1a

jensenflemming — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 10:48:49 GMT

Hi,

Im a new user of spservices and have used Cascading Dropdowns in a SharePoint solution.

The speed when typing in the parent dropdown is so slow... Then I jumped on the SPServices website to check if maybe a newer version of SPServices had arrived.

And YES - there was a 0.7.1a version.

Downloaded the .js.min version and tried how it works...

Now the parent dropdown is MUCH faster :) BUT the child dropdown doesn't get populated fx if i type "Progra" + ENTER (where it finds Programming) then the child dropdown is empty... Jumping back and forth clicking, pressing enter and suddenly the child is populated.

BUG?

So im back again to the old SPServices 0.7.0

CODE:

===============================================================

<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server">
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="/jQuery/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="/jQuery/jquery.SPServices-0.7.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns({
            relationshipList: "Skills",
            relationshipListParentColumn: "Catagory",
            relationshipListChildColumn: "Title",
            parentColumn: "Category",
            childColumn: "Skill"
        });
    });
</script>

Two additional notes: We're working with 0.7.1a and we've put all script blocks together like you suggested.

Hello.

I have a radio box on my SharePoint EditForm.aspx. When an item is selected I'm going to hide a list of columns and show another group and visa versa.

Instead of definig the variable for say 20 fields then running through each one to either hide or show depending on the radio box selection, does SPServices have a "presto" type of jquery function to throw them into an array at which point I'd say, for example..... peoplefieldsArray unhide etc.?

Thanks

I have a list that I need to create a print friendly view of the list. I can pull all of the required fields just fine. When I go to display my "comments" field I only see the first comment. Does anyone know how to loop through a "Multiple lines of text" field to display all of it's contents?

mikebedwards — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 19:08:34 GMT

Thanks for your help - but I think its the same issue.

Your solution works - but only if the user has at some point logged into the site collection. If the user has not logged into the sharepoint site - then the people picker does not produce an ID - and you cant use "GetUserInfo" either.

That's what this ensureuser seems to do... create a new SPID if it doesnt exist...but I dont know if this is feasible using spservices.

Thanks

New Post: GetColumns - Single Column Schema

DesOwen — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:24:22 GMT

Hi Folks

I'm looking for a way to retrieve the full schema for a specific site column using GetColumns as the source but using JQuery not the CSOM. I will then be using the schema for the single site column to add a new column to a set of lists using UpdateList. I've tried writing out what I think would be the schema based on data I found for the site column but it doesn't behave. I believe it has to be an exact copy of the site column schema that you pass into UpdateList so I'd like to retrieve it using GetColumns.

Any help appreciated. Will be happy to post final code when working.

ptavares — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:21:05 GMT

Mike,

Just so that we keep each item in sync... your initial issue of, Unable to get the ID for a resolved USER via a People Picker field, is not fixed, Correct? You are able to get the ID?

Or are you saying that if the user is not "...login to that site collection", the People Picker does not resolve the selected USER?

Can you paste the JavaScript code that is attempting to use the ID of the resolved user.

The question around EnsureUser operation would need the help of Marc.

Paul

mikebedwards — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 17:23:03 GMT

Yes - thanks,

But - it only works if the user has visited the sharepoint site. Even if the People Picker resolved the user (as they are a valid active directory user)....it seems that Sharepoint does not create a user profile unless they login to that site collection.

I think that is what the ensueuser method does - but is there anyway to do this with spservices?:

New Post: Insert to a "People or Group" field from a "people picker"

ptavares — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:54:00 GMT

Mike,

What I was trying to describe, is that once a user, through the People Picker field, selects a users, SP actually stores information about the selected user in a hidden <div> element on the page until the form is ready to be "saved/submitted"... You can use Javascript to find that hidden element and drill down to get the ID of that selected user.

The prior link I posted shows you how to get the NTID of a user that was selected/resolved by the people picker (note... its important to not just get whatever value in on "$("textarea[title='Owner']").val()" as you are doing above... a user could have just typed in some junk text and never relay picked a valid and "resolved" user)

Using the method to find the resolved entries by the people picker and IE's Debugger, you can walk through the DOM tree to see the HTML structure and then use jQuery to get the user's ID.

New Post: Selected lookup value used for different lookup column

andreasblueher — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:42:47 GMT

Hello Marc,

I done some more digging .. and I think I found the root of all evil ;-). It comes down to all our ComplexToSimpleDropdowns having the same ID, which is caused by this function not returning the listname inside our customforms.

So there are several questions on my side:

- can we do anything to make the function work inside our custom forms?

- can we modify the genContainerId function to return some other id instead?

Thanks

New Post: Insert to a "People or Group" field from a "people picker"

mikebedwards — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:32:19 GMT

Thanks for the reply,

I dont understand - the problem is that I dont know the ID Integer of the user. I am using a people picker - from which I can get the NTID (edwardsm) - but I cant get the NTID.

Using "GetUserInfo" service works to get the numeric ID - but only if they are already a sharepoint user. If that person is not already a sharepoint user, then there isnt an ID yet. (If you use the standard new item form - the people picker seems to handle this).

Thats why the link above suggests using "ensureuser" - but thats using server side code - I cant work out how to access this via web services.

Thanks

New Post: StartWorkflow

tazamorte — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:24:49 GMT

Hey,

I have a problem with spservice and startworkflow.

I check on the wiki http://spservices.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=StartWorkflow&referringTitle=Workflow

My code :

 $().SPServices({
    operation: "StartWorkflow",
    debug: true,
    item: encodeabsUrl,
    templateId: templateId,
    workflowParameters: "<root />",
    completefunc: function(xData, Status) {
     var out =  $().SPServices.SPDebugXMLHttpResult({node:  xData.responseXML});
     $("#error").append(out);
    }
  });

In the SPDebugXMLHttpResult i don't see an error but when i check on my list the field for the workflow display "error occured".

i notice that it's the system account who launch the workflow instead of the current user when i launch manuelly.

have you meet this case already ?

Do you know how i can launch the workflow with the current user by spservice ?

Manuelly the workflow excecute fine .
