Check or Get People Picker value.

New function to check if a people picker field is empty or to get the value of a people picker field.
Functions that may be usefull to use in presave actions when editing or creating new list items. 

The function IsPeoplePickerEmpty must be called with a parameter that contains the title of your field. Or with the value of the text that stands on the left side of your people picker field. 

The function  GetPeoplePickerValue must be called with a parameter that contains the title of your field. Or with the value of the text that stands on the left side of your people picker field. It returns a string containing the key of your people picker field. This is the domain and userid of the inserted value. 

Remark. The GetPeoploePickerValue only works with a single user People Picker field. 

 

function IsPeoplePickerEmpty( titel )

{

  if (( $('nobr:contains("'+ titel +'")').closest("td").next("td").find('input')[1].value  == " ") || ( $('nobr:contains("'+ titel +'")').closest("td").next("td").find('input')[1].value  == "") )

         return true;

  else

         return false;

}



function GetPeoplePickerValue(titel)

{

    var result = "";

        if (!IsPeoplePickerEmpty(titel))

        {

                result = $('nobr:contains("'+ titel +'")').closest("td").next("td").find('input')[1].value;

                result = result.substring(result.indexOf("key=") + 5 );

                result = result.substring(0,result.indexOf("'"));

        }

    return result;

}

Set a PeoplePicker Field without a GUID !

A new function that lot's of people may help if they want to set a value of a People Picker field. 
There are examples to find on the internet how you may do it by using the GUID of the field. This because the People Picker field is made of different html parts. You can't set a value in the field directly by calling his Title property like most of the other SharePoint Fields.
But next function by calling the label of the field (the text you have giving on the screen), and a value (Full name of a person or the userid of a person)

Enjoy the new function !! 

Remark, the function only works for setting one value to the people picker field. 
test
// call the new function Set PeoplePicker.

//

SetPeoplePicker (title, userid);

function SetPeoplePicker(My_Title, userid)

{

        try{

                 var ppID = $($('nobr:contains("' + My_Title + '")').closest("td").next("td").find('div')[0]).attr('id');

                 var ppID_userfield = ppID.substring(0,ppID.indexOf("_upLevelDiv"));

                 var a_ppID = ppID_userfield.split('_');

                 var a_ppID_Length = a_ppID.length;

                 var ppID_userfield2 = a_ppID[0] + '$' +  a_ppID[1] + '$' +  a_ppID[2] ;

                 for ( i = 3; i < a_ppID_Length - 4; i++)

                 {

                       ppID_userfield2 = ppID_userfield2 + '_' + a_ppID[i];

                 }

                 ppID_userfield2 = ppID_userfield2 + '$' +   a_ppID[a_ppID_Length - 4] + '$' +   a_ppID[a_ppID_Length - 3] + '$' +   a_ppID[a_ppID_Length - 2] + '$' +   a_ppID[a_ppID_Length - 1] ;

        

                $('#' + ppID ).text(userid);

                //recognize the people picker driver name

                if(!ValidatePickerControl(ppID_userfield )){

                        ShowValidationError();

                        return false;

                }

                var arg=getUplevel(ppID_userfield );

                var ctx = ppID_userfield ;

                EntityEditorSetWaitCursor(ctx);

                WebForm_DoCallback(ppID_userfield2 ,arg,EntityEditorHandleCheckNameResult,ctx,EntityEditorHandleCheckNameError,true);

        }catch(err){

                $('#' + ppID).text("");

        }

Create a Sharepoint Group and add a PermissionLevel to that new Sharepoint Group

In a previous blogpost you saw how to break the inheritance of a site. Well by completing the request
of my customer, I wrote some code for also creating a own Sharepoint Group and give it 
a specific permission level. 

Enjoy my next custom code for creating a group and adding a permission level to it. 

  

      
 

 

function addGroup( )
{
   var groupsname = "FILL IN HERE THE NAME OF YOUR SHAREPOINT GROUP";
   var groupsOwner = "DOMAIN/USERID";
   var groupsDesc = "FILL IN HERE THE DESCRIPTION FOR YOUR SHAREPOINT GROUP"; 
   var soapEnv ="";
   soapEnv =            '';
   soapEnv = soapEnv  + '';
   soapEnv = soapEnv  + '';
   soapEnv = soapEnv  + '';
   soapEnv = soapEnv  + ''+ groupsname + '';
   soapEnv = soapEnv  + '' + groupsOwner + '';
   soapEnv = soapEnv  + 'user';
   soapEnv = soapEnv  + '' + groupsOwner + '';
   soapEnv = soapEnv  + '' + groupsDesc + '';
   soapEnv = soapEnv  + '  ';
   soapEnv = soapEnv  + '';
 
  $.ajax({
        url: "URL OF YOUR SITE BY STARTING HTTP /_vti_bin/UserGroup.asmx",
        type: "POST",
 async : false,
        dataType: "xml",
        beforeSend: function(xhr) {
           xhr.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction",
               "http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/directory/AddGroup");
           },
        data: soapEnv,
        error: processMyError,
        complete: processResultAddGroep,
        contentType: "text/xml; charset=\"utf-8\""
  }); 

}


function processMyError(xhr, error)
{
  alert(xhr);
  alert("dd "+error);
}


function processResultAddGroep (xData, status)
{ 
// adding the Permissionlevel to your group. If you don't do this, the Sharepoint Group will be created, 
// but will not be visible in the list of Groups. 
  callAddRole();
}


function callAddRole ()
{
  var soapEnv ="";
  var groupsName = "FILL IN HERE THE NAME OF YOUR SHAREPOINT GROUP";
  var roleName = "FILL IN HERE THE NAME OF THE PERMISSION LEVEL, EX Contribute";

  soapEnv =            '';
  soapEnv = soapEnv  + '';
  soapEnv = soapEnv  + '';
  soapEnv = soapEnv  + '';
  soapEnv = soapEnv  + '' + groupsName  + '';

  $('#error').val(status);
  alert("response: "+ xData.responseText);
  $('#errormessage').val(xData.responseText);

Break site permission inheritance in code

Break site permission inheritance in code

Sometimes your want to allow your customer to create a site or a subsite with a simple click. 
And you want that same click to break the permission inheritance of its parent site.

Well, it has taken me some research but I have found a solution to do exactly that in code. 
Just put this code on a Sharepoint page. 
Or include the Sharepoint client object model into your custom page.

Enjoy the power of scripting ! 

  

      
 
function BreakRole()
{
   var copyRoleAssignments = true;
   var clearSubscopes = true;
   var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
   // or if your want to break another sites inheritance
   // var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext("/sites/YourSitecollection/yourSite");
   var oWebsite = clientContext.get_web();
   var $v_0 = new SP.ClientActionInvokeMethod(oWebsite, 'BreakRoleInheritance', [ copyRoleAssignments, clearSubscopes ]);
   clientContext.addQuery($v_0);
   clientContext.executeQueryAsync();
}
 

Trigger click event in your aspx page

How to trigger easely an event on your Sharepoint ASPX page by using JQuery. 
Well, it doesn't need very mutch to trigger automatically by example the save event
by using your scripting language.For example if somebody fills all required fields in 
and you detected that is was filled in correctly... you can trigger the save event without asking
the user to click on the save button. And this saves time for your customer. 

A simple line of code that you can put in your javascript 
Don't forget that you have to import your JQuery library ! 
  

      $("input[value='Save']").trigger("click");
 

Set Focus on a sharepoint Field in scripting

To setting the focus of an input field in jquery, it was simple. But when you have a peoplepicker field

you think that you also are dealing with an input field, but less is true.
A sharepoint People Picker field isn't that easy made.
But we won't be a developer, if we could make a function that put's the focus also 
on a people picker field.
Below you find my function. It can be extended with other fields if necessary. 
You call it not by using the GUID, but by using the display name. Which is more flexible and easier, 
because you don't need to search for the GUID in the source code. 
 
You can call it by the next function. You only need the Field Display Name and the Type of field. 
The type can be at this moment, an Input field, a People Picker, or a  Select field. 

This you can use by example when you want to check values in the PreSaveAction function and 
you want to put the focus on a field that has to be changed.  

Have fun with it... and if you need an extention, don't hesitate to ask... 

function FirstfocusExtended(veldnaam, type)

{

                switch (type.toLowerCase())

                {

                               case "input" :

                                               $(":input[title='" + veldnaam + "']").focus();

                                               break;

                               case "peoplepicker" :

                                               $("nobr:contains('" + veldnaam + "')").closest("td").next("td").find("div").focus();

                                               break;

                               case "select" :

                                               $(":select[title='" + veldnaam + "']").focus();

                                               break;

                               default :

                                               break;

                }

}

Set a check or more checkboxes of a choice field selected.

A nice new function is created today for my colleague. 

If you want to check a checkbox of a checkbox field or a multi choice field, 

you can use the next function. 

You can call it by not knowing the GUID of the checkbox you want to select. But you can call it with 

the Display Name (Title) of your field. 
If it only one checkbox, you call it like this :
SetChoiceFieldValue ("YOUR TITLE", 1, true);

If you have a choice field with more options, you can select specific entries 

by setting the index to the checkbox you want to select. 

You can use the same function also to uncheck the field. You only have to set the last param to false. 

It's a nice jquery function that makes your scripting more flexible. 

 
function SetChoiceFieldValue(titel, index, b_checked)
{
        var TD = $('nobr:contains("'+ titel + '")').closest("td").next("td").find('input');
        if (index <= TD.length + 1)
        {
                TD[index-1].checked = b_checked;
        }
}

Filter inputfields on a Sharepoint Field for instantly filtering

Had a customer today that wanted a online filtering on a table. 
Found out next part of code in a previous project in Sharepoint 2007 of an old colleague. 
And like it or not, but it also works in Sharepoint 2010.
It is a simple script that adds input fields below each column of your Sharepoint View. 
When entering a text in a column filter field, it hides all rows of your View that not 
corresponds with the value that you have added. 

Have fun with it ! 

$(document).ready(function()
{
 jQuery.extend(jQuery.expr[':'], {
 containsIgnoreCase: function(a,i,m) {return (a.textContent||a.innerText||jQuery(a).text()||'').toLowerCase().indexOf((m[3]||'').toLowerCase())>=0}
});

Check if a Multi Selectable Sharepoint Choice Field value is Checked.

I'm starting to write my own sharepoint helperclass with functions 
that can be called without knowing the ID's of the Sharepoint Fields, 
but by using the field Display Names. 

This function is to know if a certain value of a multi selectable 
choice field is checked or not.

// call the function
// CheckChoiceFieldValue ("DISPLAYNAME", 1) check of first value is checked
// CheckChoiceFieldValue ("DISPLAYNAME", 2) check of second value is checked
  
function CheckChoiceFieldValue(titel, index)

Disable Save button on an Edit Form and the Ribbon Save Button

If you want to play with the Save button of Sharepoint, and also the save buttons in the ribbon,
you can use the next script in a Content Editor webpart. 
I have written my own custom Function for this nice functionality that I use all the time since I wrote it.
It let me help to prevent the Save action for users when your Item has a certain status. 
But not with playing with the security! 

I use a Status field that has the type Choise Field. 
Here I put the different steps that my form can have. For example a step for Acceptation,
or a step for Refusing, Canceling, etc. 
When for example a form has the step Refused, nobody my edit the item anymore. 
You can do this by playing with 
security settings in a workflow, but you risk that the workflow isn't executed directly. 
At that moment somebody can still change the item!
And Item Level Security on big lists aren't supported! 

With this method, you prevent that nobody save changes in your custom Edit form 
when the Item field Status has a certain value. 
And you can specify some administators, or a second EditForm where you can allow to edit 
the Item for an intervention. 

If you have remarks, please let me know... 
  

$(document).ready( function() {
            checkStatusForSave();
});

  

function checkStatusForSave()

{
// I use a custom Status Choise field for workflow actions. 
   var fieldStatusRef = $(':select[title="Status"]');
   var StatusRef = $(':select[title="Status"]').val();
   switch (StatusRef)
        {
            case 'Waiting for action A':
// the Item may be saved.
                        disableSave(false);
            break;
            case 'Refused':
// you may not save any changes to the Item.
                        disableSave(true);

            break;
            default:
        }
}

function disableSave(bAlways)

 if($(':span[title="Open Menu"]').text().indexOf('FILL IN YOUR NAME SO YOU CAN SAVE ITEMS') == -1)

Replace Point keystroke with a Comma

Sometimes you need to prevent your user to use some key characters in your Input Fields.
Like my customer wanted also to use the Comma [,] as the Point [.] as decimal seperator. 
If you use for example Dutch regional settings the decimal seperator is the [,] and the Point is used
as thousant seperator. So my customer wanted to use as Point as Comma as seperator. 
What to do about it? 
Simple answer. Catch the keystroke of the Point and replace it by a Comma. 
My solution below is not perfect if they put a Point between the numbers. 
If someone knows what I have to add in place of the fill up of the ","
please don't hesitate to let me know.
 

$(document).ready(function() {

List of available Sharepoint Services

List of available Sharepoint Services
SharePoint Object Model is a .Net based Application Programming Interface to interact with SharePoint components. But all the applications written using SharePoint Object Model require to be run on the SharePoint Server itself. It is not possible to use it to work remotely with a SharePoint Server.

SharePoint Web Services provides the capability to work with SharePoint server remotely. But SharePoint Web Services are not as much as rich as SharePoint Object Model and all SharePoint features and components are not accessible through Web Services. But it includes Web Services to interact with most commonly used SharePoint features and components.

How to give a Date field the correct format in a custom DispForm

I have one new trick to tell you today...

Imagine you have a Sharepoint list with a Date field that is only showing a date value and not the Time. If you create a Custom Display Form in Sharepoint Designer, you will see something incredible.

    - Date field shows Time value
    - Date field shows less 1 hour, which might lead to show one less day in date value

Just like this:


Check how I got the Date format...


1. Open your custom form in Sharepoint Designer and select the date value.


2. Click the Formule button and write the following Formule:

ddwrt:FormatDate(string(@Date), 1033, 1)

    Don't forget to use the string function!! Otherwise it will give you an error in XPath
    1033 is the locale code, check other locale codes here List of Locale Codes
    1 is the date format, the possible values are 1, 4, 5, 7,12, 13 or 15, each represent a different date format, pick the one that suites you better.

At least save your form and you will see a splendid result.

Enjoy my little trick... 

LCID Dec values for the XSLT FormatDate function

Use the LCID Dec values for the FormatDate function.

Horizontal alignment of Choise Fields

This week I found a way to change the alignment of a Choice Field.
Nice to know if you have list of questions where somebody has to choose
between for example three answers. 

You only have to make a custom New/Edit page in Sharepoint Designer
and add the next line
<xsl:comment>FieldName="Display Name"</xsl:comment>                                                          
just before the sharepoint Formfield definition <SharePoint:FormField …

Change the "Display Name" by the display name of your Sharepoint Field.

Add a Content Editor webpart to your page and 
put the next Jquery script in this webpart.
