Also note that there is already a ton of javascript that will hinder you from dynamically adding things to the forms elements using jQuery/Javascript. InfoPath forms usually load after everything else since they rely on jSON data which is deeply embedded into the software. I could only "hack" into the fields after the page was loaded by having a button that ...

The way I did exactly this a couple of years back was developing a SharePoint DelegateControl WebControl and staple it to the PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead. The WebControl would include code to check if the "/_layouts/EmailSettings.aspx" page is hit and if so check who is trying to reach this page (in my case checking web.config for a particular username). ...

It can be done, you have to add the ID field of the lookup field to the list (Edit the listcolumn and check ID in the extra fields section). Than you can filter based on that field "fieldname:Id"

I agree with PirateEric... Check that they are NOT using the 64-bit version of IE, it doen't support many active x controls. I had a user lose the Open in Access button, when we tried it in the 32-bit IE it worked. Others will say do a repair of Microsoft Office. If your disabled buttons are Office related, it may fix it too.

When you add user with permission in some list or library, SharePoint adds the user automatically even if user haven't visit the site, but if you add Active Directory group or role, SharePoint adds the group or role automatically, and when user visits the site then SharePoint adds it.

The SharePoint Calendar web part cannot be filtered dynamically and it cannot be filtered by custom fields. This site offers a custom web part that can take query parameters. I have not tested it, but it looks promising: https://aasoftech.sharepoint.com/Products/Lists/How%20to%20Filter%20SharePoint%20Calendar%20Dynamically/AllItems.aspx

I have solved my issue. My list's display name contains the following character : é I have changed the encoding of my PowerShell script to UTF8. Now I can retrieve my list by its display name.

I believe you will have to retrieve a List by it's internal name, not the display name. Especially if the display name consists of two or more words. This is, at least, case with List items. Examples on how to change list settings using PS script can be found on http://get-spscripts.com/ - Part 1 and Part 2, where the author uses list's name to manipulate ...

Take a look at the following. It describes a bug that appears to be the same, http://jaredmatfess.wordpress.com/2013/04/23/sharepoint-february-2013-cu-cod-breaks-the-rss-viewer-webpart. I got the same behavior you describe after Feb 2013 CU, and this fixes it.

Moving sites from SP 2007 to SP 2010 would require an upgrade of the content (content db). Plus both enviornments will need to be in sync before the migration can take place i.e. all the custom solutions will need to be deployed in SP 2010, all your custom site defs etc. This article shows how you can attach a content db from sp2007 to sp2010. ...

I have met a similar requirement in the past with a term set. Allow users to set keywords on the documents and then show all documents with the keyword in the PageFieldValue. Note that this will only work with multi-value keywords if your CQWP selects from a single library - though you can use a single-value keyword from multiple libraries.

I know this is delayed, but considering I am working on a similar project, I thought I would chime in. Why exactly are you thinking that implementing a framework via Page Layouts is a better approach than via a Master Page? My approach would be to have a single custom Master Page that dictates the structure for the core container of the design, including ...

is the form being used to inject data into a sharepoint list? or maybe is it meant to be filled out and saved into a SP forms library? if either of those two scenarios are happening (rather than the form being filled out and saved externally or printed) then you may need to find the library where the form is saved, access the Library ribbon and click on ...

if you can export your current database to a spreadsheet, you can then manipulate the data via formulas. example: column B has a header of is1. B2 has the value of 1.

The loopback check is a security feature introduced ages ago (server 2003 sp1) and prevents applications to access ressources hosted on the same system via the full qualified domain name.

What you find on the SharePoint site is the published form. In order to change that form, you need to get a copy of the original form, not the published version. The original form will be stored somewhere in your company's file share, not necessarily in SharePoint.

It is not recommended to have multiple SharePoint farms in the same instance of SQL as it not only has performance risks (due to temp table thrashing) but is a management nightmare as keeping track of which database is in use by which farm becomes a significant task. Instead, you can use the same physical SQL Server but merely create a new instance of it ...

We had a similar problem. In our case, it was the Black Ice and IBM Server Protection services. If these products are installed on your server, stop both of these services and see if that resolves the problem. If so, then you can modify the Black Ice rules so it doesn't block the particular traffic with PeoplePicker that it perceives as an attack.

I was able to implement this by using a customized View as with PirateEric's comment, but I needed to group the conditions in a way the GUI list view filter editor wouldn't let me. The solution involved using SP Designer 2010 to edit the CAML query for the filter directly. I figured out the query using the CAML Query Helper tool on CodePlex: ...

Hotfixes do not update core version numbers so even having the same hotfixes applied does not mean it is the same version.

You don't need a calculated column to do this. Simply go to your tasks list and create a new view. Expand the filter section and add Status is not equal to Completed AND Modified is greater than [Today] - 3. You can optionally expand the item limit section to return a max number of items.

Create a calculated field with the following formula : =IF([Status]<>'Completed';true;IF(DateDiff([Now],[Modified])>3;false;true)) and then use the created column to filter your items; regards.

Not in a sandbox solution no. You could however create the app running on a separate web server / app and call it in a iframe since it's client object model. The reason it won't work is because the namespaces you require are blocked in sandbox.
