How to combine 2 different Javascript code in a single snippet Editor on a SP page

$

Hi 

I have added 2 snippet editors on my SP page,the first one is added a Feed back form script to my SP page using snippet Editor1 and another java script code in another snippet editor2 ,the purpose of code in Snippet editor 2 is when click back on the page that will navigate to same location previous document opened.

The issue is only the first snippet editor which is feedback working, when I deleted the first snippet then the second snippet working  which is navigating back to previous location.

I think the issue is with closing the java script,I would like to know how this JS script  can be added in a single snippet

This below is the code in Snippet Editor1

<script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
        				$(document).ready (function () {
					    $("#DeltaPlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea").css("visibility", "hidden");
					    $("#DeltaPlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea > span > span > a").css("visibility", "visible"); 
					    var newTitle = $("#DeltaPlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea > span > span > a").text();
					    $("title").text(newTitle);
$("#SearchBox").css("!importantwidth", "498px");
$("#SearchBox").css("margin-left", "auto");
$("#SearchBox").css("margin-right", "auto");


                             
						});
			
					
            
           //comment
            
            
            
            
            
            //]]></script>
The below Code in Snippet Editor2
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type ="text/javaScript"> $("#s4-workspace").scroll(function () { //set scroll position in session storage sessionStorage.scrollPos = $("#s4-workspace").scrollTop(); }); var init = function () { //return scroll position in session storage $("#s4-workspace").scrollTop(sessionStorage.scrollPos || 0) }; window.onload = init; </script>



Publicly-available pages not showing up in search results. Unless logged in. This seems really strange, what am I missing?

So not logged in, I can browse all the pages freely. When I search, there are no results. When I sign in, I see all the results.

This means it's crawling successfully, right? What else is there that could cause something like this?

"Liking" functionality on content page?

$
0
0

So I know that being able to "like" content is an OOTB functionality which can be leveraged from a list view, however I was wondering if it would be possible to incorporate the "liking" functionality on a content page (i.e. blog).

I've seen several examples on the internet that accomplish this with some custom javascript embedded in the page but I was actually wondering if this could be accomplished by leveraging SharePoint's UI API specifically the "SP.Social" framework the same way a list view can.

Remove Rejected Versions Without an Increment to Revision Number

$
0
0

We have a SharePoint 2013 server with a Document Library setup that uses Major Versions setup in Versioning Settings. A Documents Version Numbers is an important field to the team using the Library, as they use this among themselves when using and communicating on the documents.

In some cases a user will propose an update to a document that gets rejected. The document will live in this rejected status until someone reverts it to the prior version. This is good functionality, however reverting to the rejected version requires approval, which ticks up the Version Number of the document.

The increase in Version number causes confusion among the end users as they think new information has been added to the document, when none has been.

This leads to additional discussion that is not needed.

One option that we have tried is to just leave the document in the rejected status. This has proven to not be ideal because many of the document approves are also collaborators to the content. So when they open the documents that are in the rejected changes. They see the rejected changes and can cause them confusion.

Ultimately our question is if there is a way to reject or delete a proposed change to a document in a document library without interrupting the Version sequence.

Infopath SOAP Errors - List does not exist

$

0

All,

I just recently started experiencing issues with infopath when opening any list form.

When I try to access a form directly from infopath, i get up to the point where my password is requested. Once I provide my password, the application closes. There isn't any kind of warning or prompt.

I then tried to access a list from internet explorers "customize form" button on the ribbon.

When I click that, I get prompted for password and once I provide it, I get a SOAP error. saying "this list does not exist".

This is across every single site collection in the farm.

I have even tried attempting this in the development farm.

Both production/development have this issue.

I searched through google and saw some people have been experiencing the same issue in the last month.

I haven't done anything special with my site collections, nothing has been copied over, databases restored, etc.

Thoughts?

------

Update - the only machine that opened these forms without any issue was my workstation.

Way to keep end users from editing specific fields?

Is there any way to keep users from editing specific fields? I have created some fields which are only used by Designer workflows. They are not visible in forms. But it occurs to me that a user could make a personal view which includes these "hidden" fields then edit them in Quick Edit mode.  Are there any options I have to keep this from happening?

There are no mistakes; every result tells you something of value about what you are trying to accomplish.

In community site, I need to show discussion topics sorted descending by Number of Likes and when the users click on the Subject I need the user to view the Discussion topics and its replies. This is similar what we see in subject view.

 I created a page and added Discussion list, modified the view to be Management view (as the other views do not allow me to edit the view), added Number of likes column and set as descending order and saved the page. The page shows as I wanted with subjects sorted by number of likes. But when I click the subject It does not show me its replies. 

Please advise.

Duplicate Item getting created in the sharepoint calender list when syncing with outlook

$

I have a user who when connects to outlook from the sharepoint calendar list causes the duplication of items existing in the list. There  are no workflow running in the background that would be creating it. Also the issue is coming for only 1 user creating events under his name. As soon as he disconnects the issue stops making me believe that the issue is with the outlook. He reinstalled the outlook but the issue still persists though. I read some blogs and they were blaming the same on recurring items but in my case random evens are getting duplicated and none of them are recurring.
