I'm trying to work out how to get sharepoint 2010 to display the quicklaunch on a web part page, the default.master trick I used in 2007 doesn't appear to work any more.
In my 2007 install, I simply edited the default.master and moved the quicklaunch code outside of the PlaceHolderLeftNavBar element but this doesn't have any effect in SP2010.
Thanks
A simple way to eneble Quick Launch Menu on WebPartPages is remove tags UIVersionedContentUIVersionedContent and PlaceHolderLeftNavBar using SharePoint Designer 2010.
See this article: http://denmartins.wordpress.com/2011/05/07/exibir-menu-quicklaunch-em-webpartpages/
If you really want to place another copy of the quicklaunch on a web part here is the steps
Using Sharepoint Designer 2010 go to your site and navigate to Master Pages -> v4.master
Click edit file copy everything in the <div class="ms-quickLaunch"> that should copy everything you need for the quicklaunch to run. For best result use the code view and hover over the quicklaunch and you should see the div, click on it and copy (Ctrl + C)
Now you can paste that on another web part page and it should work, I tried it by creating a new test page and it worked
You need to make changes in v4.master (in masterpage library), not in default.master.
For details on SharePoint 2010 master pages, please, follow this link:
http://sharepoint-sandbox.com/index.php?/Tips-and-Tricks/Customization/tip-80-sharepoint-2010-new-masterpages.html
Your masterpage trick on my SharePoint Foundation 2010 environment works fine.
Anyway, I don't think, that moving any standard code from placeholder is a good idea. If you want change position of quicklaunch menu, you should move the leftnavbar placeholder itself, including all the contents.
Placeholders are generally used to allow some pages, for example application pages, replace placeholder contents. So, if you hide the placeholder, and move it's contents out, these changes will be lost, and the standard menu will be shown. (and if you do not hide the placeholder, you can get two menus on one page :) )
Hope it helps!

I am currently trying to setup a template where the user is prompted to add "tags" to their document when they open a new MS-Word file. Currently I have broken this down in a few parts.
Startup prompt
Connect the document/script to the "tag" property (so the user don't have to manually change it)
Ideally implement a drop-down menu, so I don't accidentally tag some files with small differences such as spaces, case sensitive formating etc.
Currently I have tried most of what Word has to offer, which is why I came here. The easiest answer is to go in "File -> Information -> Tags" and edit this manually, but this is what I hope to automate. I have used the feature "Quick Parts", where I can add a field which edits properties such as "Author", "Tags" etc. The problem here is that they are not customizable, so I can not implement a drop-down menu. I have tried to use the "Developer" section in Word to add controllers such as drop-down menus, but I have not found a way to connect these to the document properties. I also tried using the FILLIN command to see if it could be used as shown below, just to test if I could set these properties from the document in this way.
{ SET bkmTitle { TITLE { FILLIN "Enter the document title" } } }
The problem with this implementation is that I don't want to press F9 in these fields when I start up a new project. I have not done much research into the startup prompt because I see this as the finishing touch, but if anyone has any advice on that too, it would be greatly appreciated.
I don't have any experience with macros/VBA, but I am open to learn if that is the easiest way to realize this project. Thank you kindly in advance.
From Charles Kenyon's links I solved my problem with Quick Parts. My solution was to extract the .docx file so I could access the .xml file within. Inside the .docx file (also works with the .dotm template file found in /AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Templates). Using 7-zip I opened the .dotm archive and went on word -> document.xml.
I made a template by editing the Normal.dotm (MS-Word template file). Here I added a Quick Part for "Category", then saved the template. I then opened the .xml file as mentioned above where I could edit this Quick Part for the template from textfield to a drop down menu (was not possible to change in Word to my knowledge).
To change it into other types than drop down menu, it is possible to add other control forms from Word by clicking on the "Developer" tab and selecting other controls such as "Checkbox". When you open the "document.xml" file afterwards, you can now see the schema for a checkbox.
When editing the "Document Properties" style Quick Parts, they are automatically linked to the document properties, which is what I wanted to learn how to do. It is probably possible to also use the document.xml file to explore how to link other fields to the document properties. I hope this answer might help others if they want to explore more options in MS-Word.
I am trying to add a simple windows form to my VB.Net project. I have used the designer to design the form how I want it with buttons, a text box and a Timer. The problem is when I try to view the code, there is only an empty class that looks like this:
Public Class MCastMain
End Class
I have set the application type to a windows form application in the project properties, and I have made a successful build of the application since doing so. I have been scrawling the internet and this forum for about half an hour now and I can't find one other person who is having this problem, nor can I find a tutorial that mentions any special steps that must be taken beyond what I have done. This is the first project I have done in Visual Studio.
I know this is probably stupid simple, but I have no idea what to do. Any help is appreciated as always.
Forms comes as partial class meaning the code is separated in two files.
The "empty" code you shown is from "mcastmain.vb" (if the file is named as the class).
With that one there is a (probably hidden) file "mcastmain.designer.vb" file which contains the generated code by the designer ; and is not meant to be modified (as any designer change will rewrite the file).
To show the hidden files you have to look in the solution explorer on the button on it's top there should be a "show all files" button. (it may be possible to do the same via the menu but I don't have VS right there to be sure where)
I'm new using SharePoint. I am having trouble with find the code or workflow structure of a list or a library. In the left menu i can see the "Workflows" button but all workflows are not there.
There is a workflow section In the "List and libraries" view showing the running workflows in these list, but when i click on one of them it just move me to its settings in the browser and no to the structure or code that is what i'm looking for.
Is there a way to find the code or structure of my running workflows?
PD: I am working in place of the previous developer who build the entire site, however, he didn't show me anything about.
Thanks.
If these are workflows created using SharePoint Designer then:
Open SharePoint Designer
Open the site
Click on Lists and Libraries
Click on the list name
There will be a heading titled "Workflows"
Click on the workflow you are wanting to look at
Click "Edit Workflow" to view it
Go From there
If you are wanting to see the status of a workflow in regards to the item:
Go to the list
I recommend creating a personal view (so only you see it)
You can select the fields you are interested in and each workflow should have a column in the list associated with it. Include the column in your view
Go to your new view and you can click on the link to view the current status of the workflow
Go to All Files > Workflows Folder. Then select the workflow you want to work with. Right Click on the "xoml" file then select "Open With" > "SharePoint Designer (open as workflow)"
Once it's opened, published it again. Then it will show up again in the Workflow tab.
The workflow was a visual studio sequential workflow deployed in the site as a feature. It was not a SharePoint Designer one. Thanks
I had a bunch of macros that I had in C:\Users\userx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates that were always available in word 2010 but since upgrade to word 2013 I cannot run them. Word apparently does not automatically load them anymore. I used to just do alt F8 and pick from the list. I also had a few added to the quick options bar but they are gone also.
Searched this site and MS website and can't seem to find a solution. Is there another location that I need to move the files containing the macros to or is there some other action that I need to take so I can run them again?
My guess is this is already answered here and I am just not searching for the right things. My apologies if that is the case, please just point me to the appropriate post.
You can place a shortcut to the templates containing your macros in the following location
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP
That will make your macros available whenever Word opens and restore the Alt+F8 functionality you're looking for. If you add toolbars to your templates, those will also automatically be attached to the Normal template when you open Word.
I have modified EditForm.aspx of a list in SharePoint 2010. I need to launch the dialog window (that's what EditForm.aspx seems to be launched as) maximized, but I haven't been able to find the correct setting to tweak.
A quick web search suggests to use the showMaximized:true style setting, but I am unable to find the element in EditForm.aspx to apply this attribute to.
If you want to remove ALL dialogs from a list, go to:
list settings -> advanced -> dialog -> turn them off
But if you just want to change the edit button, you will probably have to create a new edit <CustomAction> that uses javascript, see this example:
http://www.chakkaradeep.com/post/Using-the-SharePoint-2010-Modal-Dialog.aspx
Its for a different button, but you should get the idea.
And then you will need to build a <HideCustomAction> to hide the original edit button
Check this : http://www.wawawum.com/blog/post.aspx?id=66a5aed2-f530-4687-bd42-1ef0fb379544
Add a Content Editor WebPart to your EditForm, then put the code found in this blog to maximize the Dialog when opening it.
Works very well for me.
