Data View (
RSS)
Remember this? “Connect to another library” from SharePoint Designer 2007 allows you to display data from another sites. It seems to disappear from SharePoint Designer 2010. The only workaround I found is detailed here. Here are quick steps according to this source, to show data from another sub site on your SharePoint site: Open SPD 2010 in the site you would like to display the data view in. Click on “Data Sources” (1) then click “SOAP Service Connection” (2). In the Data source properties window...
I didn't wrote here for a long while, but now as I started implementing SharePoint 2010 at one of our customers I have a lot to say, so let's start. I needed to create a data view like in the old days of SharePoint 2007. I wanted to give it my look & feel, according to the customer's graphic design. In the previous version I had no problem doing it with the SPD 2007, but now when I inserted a Data view I got a new kind of data view that was not easy to customize (and it came with...
This is the last post in the series about changing the links ( delete , insert and edit). Finally, I'm here to talk about changing the Edit link. How to… Replace each "BLOCKED SCRIPT" to: The original edit links allows the user to update the data in the data view. The link looks like that: < a href ="BLOCKED SCRIPT {ddwrt:GenFireServerEvent(concat('__cancel;dvt_1_form_editkey={',$KeyValue,'}'))}"> edit </ a > Here we also have 2 options to edit...
Hi all, It has been a while since I have written my last post. Right now, I'm in between exams but I had to take some brake in order to write my second post regarding the link options of data views. In my last post I have written about changing the "Delete" link in the data view in a way that the user will be prompted before he deletes the item. In this post I will explain 2 way to change the " Insert " links. Before I'll start it is important to mention that I have changed...
A few days ago I had to give my users access to delete items directly from the data view. I have noticed that the designer's default delete option is missing the validation question "Are you sure you want to delete this item?". This post will explain how to add the delete item link with the prompted question. In Addition I didn't like the "Insert Item" and "Edit Item" links and I changed them as well – but this is issue for another post. Adding delete link After...
In the previous post I talked about filtering data views with URL parameters. In this post I will deal with filtering the data with ASP.Net controls. Tip – You can’t insert the control when you point on a web part zone; You can add <br> tag under a web part zone and add the control there. Here are the steps: Right-click on the list/library that will supply the values for the control in the Data source library panel. Chose the second option “ Insert source data control”. If your prompted to...
A few days ago I needed to filter web part with values from a web part that is located in another page. Usually I would have done it with Query String (URL) Filter web part. Unfortunately, my client didn’t have enterprise edition and I had to think of another way to implement this. The answer was (of course) Data view! lets see how it can be done. Create 2 pages - the first will display the web part with the values, the second will be filter by these values. Go to your first page and create data...
First of all thank you for you kind welcome ! Now I need to start working… I love using Data views! It's very flexible, looks good (if you're doing it right) and you can do a lot of things that aren't available in the custom SharePoint web parts (in the browser). This post is very basic one – it is the first steps for creating data views. A lot of my posts in will deal with data view so I thought I should start with step-by-step post. Let's start… Create a page in the SharePoint site...
