This displays people who have registered for an event and displays it with the details of the event. What I'd like to be able to do, is create a hyperlink or button on the page that iterates through the list of users and when clicked, opens a mailto: href that is populated with all the users. Any ideas on how this could be accomplished with jQuery? krishnet on "SPGridView Group By Count using JQuery" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/spgridview-group-by-count-using-jquery#post-6058 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 12:48:58 +0000 krishnet 6058@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ Hello, I have a custom search web part written using C# that queries one or more document/form libraries and displays the resultset using SPGridView Control(not a view). I have enabled grouping in SPGridView control based on the user selected field. I don't know how to display group count at the header row. For e.g. What I wanted is to display # of child elements for each group. Group1 (3)<--- where (3) is the number of elements in this group. ...Child1 ...Child2 ...Child3 Group2 (2)<--- where (2) is the number of elements in this group. ..Child1 ..Child2 Here is the structure of my HTML: <table> <tr class='ms-gb'> <td>Parent1 </td> </tr> <tr> <td>child1</td> </tr> <tr> <td>child2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>child3</td> </tr> <tr class='ms-gb'> <td>Parent2 </td> </tr> <tr> <td>child1</td> </tr> <tr> <td>child2</td> </tr> </table> If a <tr> has 'ms-gb' class then it is header or group by record. I need to count all the other <tr>s that are under the <tr class ='ms-gb'> and append the count to <tr class ='ms-gb'>. I know it can be done with Jquery but I'm very new to this technology and don't know how to start with. I'd appreciate if anyone can provide a code snippet of how to accomplish this task. Thanks a lot. 27palms on "Dressing up hyperlinks" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/dressing-up-hyperlinks#post-5993 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 09:16:41 +0000 27palms 5993@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ Paul, I think I may be barking up the wrong tree and using attempting to use jQuery to address my knowledge gap, who knows... I have a workflow that runs when new items are added to a list. One step in the workflow builds a dynamic string that points back to a list item. The string built is a relative url that is then stored in hyperlink field within the list. Fields that are typed as hyperlink have two pieces of informaiton. The URL and the description. I'm writing into the URL but I really want the list to say "View Item" as its description. I'm able to do that when editing myself but I don't see how you write something to the description field when you are creating a record through a workflow. To cust a long story short....when my list is rendered on the screen I simply want it to say: "View Item" rather than "/Lists/History/AllItems.aspx?&FilterField1=CID&FilterValue1=17" Dave T on "Preview pane causing pain" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/preview-pane-causing-pain#post-5954 Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:27:48 +0000 Dave T 5954@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ Paul, I have used many of your jquery solutions without a problem.

I have a column called 'priority' which is currently a choice column (1-50) Is there a way to have it so when the user selects an item to be of priority '1' it will take the existing priority '1' item and bump it down to '2' and so on. If you've ever changed column ordering or the views it uses this same process. Any tips or suggestions would be beneficial, thank you!

Doing it programmatically in .NET doesn't look do-able because the object model for navigation nodes expects a Url. My next thought was to modify the link using jQuery when the page loads. However I've not done much with jQuery so how do I go about removing the current hyperlink and add an onclick event handler to open up a modal dialog box, e.g. window.showModalDialog("http://url?tempId=123"); I've already tried as a test to embed the following into the page PlaceholderMain placeholder using SharePoint Designer but the code didn't seem to fire. $(document).ready(function() { $('#zz2_QuickLaunchMenun1 > a:first').attr("href", "#"); $('#zz2_QuickLaunchMenun1 > a:first').click(function() { window.showModalDialog("http://server/class/Pages/CoreMaterials.aspx?siteId=b1ce2e86-27bd-4134-9760-e0ba96a3bb1f&unit=F1C612", "", "dialogHeight:400px;dialogWidth:400px;scroll:no;status:no"); }); cepes on "Preview/Thumbnail of document in Library?" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/previewthumbnail-of-document-in-library#post-5871 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 17:11:15 +0000 cepes 5871@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ Hi: Does anyone know if it's possible to have a thumbnail preview (or the like) of various documents in a Document Library?

I feel like I'm all over the map in trying to invent a way to make this work. This is for my hospital's Registration Manual. I have a very large list with three key columns: Initial Visit Code, Second Visit Code, and Action. My goal was to provide a look-up search for our Registration staff to quickly look up an action based upon two other codes. They don't want to have the results displayed out of the box because that will take the user to another search results page, and they want to stay on the "Same Day Visit Look-up" page. They also prefer not to use Views because they want the staff to identify the first code, then the second code specifically, and have the page display only one action. I found an example of something I'd like implement. It's the Table example found here: <a href="http://rikrikrik.com/jquery/quicksearch/." rel="nofollow">http://rikrikrik.com/jquery/quicksearch/.</a> The title of the article is "jQuery quickSearch plug-in". I would like to try to search for the Initial Visit Code at the minimum, but ideally have another search box for the Second Visit Code (and of course tie them to my code list to only give the user the available codes as options). I would like the list to miraculously shrink to the only available option in the list! Is this possible, or am I going to be limited to Views? I'm presently in the Advanced Search box avenue....don't know how long I will stay there, but is that my only option? Thanks very much for any input.

Try whacking the following URL in an XML web part to get an idea of what can be done: <a href="http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=SELECT%20" rel="nofollow">http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=SELECT%20</a>*%20FROM%20html%20WHERE%20url%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fpublic.ukcrn.org.uk%2FSearch%2FPortfolio.aspx%3Flevel1%3D2%22%20AND%20xpath%3D%22%2F%2Ftable%5B%40id%3D'ctl00_contentMain_gvStatsLevel2'%5D%22&format=xml [You'll need to copy the entire URL there] Now this table displays just fine, but the links in the source html page are all relative and are therefore broken in the context of the SP site. If I knew XSL even a bit I am sure I could amend this XML output to prepend the URL of the source site. BUT I am thinking this could also be an interesting use of JQUERY too? Any ideas on a clever workaround here?

While there is a great deal we can do with views, I did get a request to see whether or not it is possible to freeze columns similar to the Excel Freeze Panes. I see that there was some work done with the Gantt Chart in particular, can this sort of thing be applied to to a generic list as well? eric on "Add a button to a page" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/add-a-button-to-a-page#post-5140 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 15:08:11 +0000 eric 5140@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ This is a counter to hiding the survey button thread we had a couple weeks ago, <a href="http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/incomplete-surveys-not-visible#post-4491." rel="nofollow">http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/incomplete-surveys-not-visible#post-4491.</a> In the Employee Training template, I'd like to add a button on the DispForm for courses that calls a calculated column I created that is a hyperlink to an iCal export so I can remove the toolbar.

The HTML code for a "Link to a Document" looks like this: <code><a href="/sites/Nest/V3Training/Onboarding.aspx">Onboarding<img width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="Use SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window)." class="ms-hidden" src="/_layouts/images/blank.gif"/></a></code> I have been using the jQuery code below to open these links into a new window. The code works fine on library views that DO NOT use the grouping feature. It also works fine for views with grouping that initially display ALL Groups EXPANDED. However, it refuses to work when the library view uses grouping and ALL Groups are COLLAPSED. The grouping feature in SharePoint uses Javascript functions and I guess it conflicts with the jQuery code somehow. I just can't figure out how! Any ideas? Thanks! <pre><code><script src="http://mysp/sites/Nest/JQuery/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $('a[onclick*=SharePoint.Link]').attr('target','_blank'); var test = $('a[onclick*=SharePoint.Link]'); alert(test); }); </script></code></pre> 27palms on "Calling a centrally located jQuery master from all pages" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/calling-a-centrally-located-jquery-master-from-all-pages#post-5475 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 20:49:06 +0000 27palms 5475@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ Like most people I have been collecting Paul's excellent jQuery scripts. I have added a few of them together into one script that I use on all pages and views. You could think of it as my "default master file" as it does a host of features for all pages like accordian menu, print friendly list etc. I'm at a stage now where I'd like to put that script in one central place and have all pages and views reference it instead of copying it out to all pages again if I updated it. The idea is that I make one change to the master and it flows through the site, rather than revisiting every page and making the update. Each page would carry a webpart with a small script that applies whatever is in the master file to the page. What's the best way to go about this? patrick.abel on "Embedding AJAX/PHP page into a Page Viewer Web-Part" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/embedding-ajaxphp-page-into-a-page-viewer-web-part#post-5666 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 11:21:49 +0000 patrick.abel 5666@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ Hey guys, I have had quite alot of problems trying to figure out how to create effective form solutions for WSS 3.0. I have learned how to use workflows tied to lists, but getting some of the features of validation, redirect upon submission, and easy editing have led me away from what sharepoint has to offer. I have created a AJAX form that is driven by PHP you can see at: <a href="http://spaceclub-hsv.org/contact_form/Copy%20of%20contact.html" rel="nofollow">http://spaceclub-hsv.org/contact_form/Copy%20of%20contact.html</a> It validates on a field by field basis and reports errors and completion with AJAX without a need for a page refresh. My problem is that, when I try and tie this website into a Page Viewer web-part, it doesn't know how to handle it. I was under the impression that the Page Viewer web-part was merely a "viewer" and all the interaction was still taking place on the host site, but this may not be the case with using AJAX. Is there a solution for this?

I've got a custom list, and I have content approval turned on. I'm using SPD workflows to control the approval process, so I don't really want the "Approve/Reject Item" button displaying on the DispForm page because it's confusing the end users. Is there a way via scripting in the CQWP to hide this button? I've read that there's a way to have a developer custom-develop my own toolbar, and install it on the server, etc, but I don't have that kind of resource right now.

Like most webparts, the SQL Reports webpart will grow dynamically to fill the screen horizontally, but not vertically. If you do not specify the vertical size of the webpart the default is too short to be usable. Specifying a vertical size helps, but Microsoft put the "Apply" button at the bottom of the Parameters panel and is often not visible without scrolling down. What I would like is to have the webpart resized to the available screen area, keeping the Apply button in view and allowing users with bigger screen to not be limited to a short report view. Based on what I have seen done in JQuery on other webparts, I'm sure this is possible. I just don't know JQuery well enough to figure it out.
