I have a custom list in O365, with 2 content types. Displaying/editing items of one content type shows a custom display/edit form, items of the other content type does not.
I did not create this site or list, so I'm trying to figure out how the customizations are done.
I don't see any InfoPath templates in the folders of the list.
SharePoint Designer is showing the DispForm.aspx and EditForm.aspx as
"Default".
I see no form links, when looking at the content types themselves.
What other customizations are possible, where am I not looking?
Thanks

If you have the right permission level, you should be able to go into the list settings, Advanced Settings and select Yes to allow management of content types. Then once you are in the List Settings, you can see the content types available on that list and click into them to view what edits were done there. Normally, most people will hide certain questions or reorder how they are displayed.

I am building a website using drupal which allows users to create projects and then invite other users to join their projects.
I have created a content type- "project" for the main task. I can successfully edit this content type and publish it, however, when I get to the screen pictured here: http://imgur.com/t49pl the "view" tab is always empty. Any ideas?
what tulvit said, however...
I would recommend creating a View to display this content anyway. anything generated by the node is always difficult to present as you want, so to solve this issue, just create a View to output the content.
I've been making a template for a particular content type, but just ran into a problem: I need to embed a view into the content type.
I am aware this can be done via several different methods, but I don't see one that fits exactly my needs:
I need the view added automatically for all pages of that content type.
Using blocks in a region is not an option, as I want to avoid defining a region in the middle of a page that should only be available for a specific content type.
Translatable label.
Possibility to freely apply a template to all fields in the content type (excluding the embedded view).
I tried doing it via page layout (Panels) and simply adding node content fields and the view to my layout regions, but then I get another problem: I can't style my content fields without doing something that seems a bit over the top:
Currently I have about 20 different content fields in the content type that are wrapped in HTML and styled in my template file. I have a translated label for each of these in the template file. From what I can tell I'd have to add a template for each of the panes containing content fields to add my translated labels and HTML needed to style each field.
I'm not really fond of making 20 templates, 20 theme hook suggestions to get the templates to work and 20 regions in the panel layout just to get a view inserted in the content type.
Am I doing something terribly wrong here? Any suggestions?
You may want to try the Viewfield module or similar modules (search for "view field" or "view reference").
If you are doing something more complex like changing/filtering the view based on some value in your content type, then you may have to use Viewfield module in combination with something else that will help fill in the filter values.
I've never done something like this before so I'm not sure exactly what module combination would work but Rules or Computed Field come to mind as possible helpers.
You have to use "views node field" http://drupal.org/project/viewsnodefield, after installing this module you have to select the "Node content" in the display (like blocks,page). then click the add display. if you want to display the content like this page http://www.richtown.ae/?q=content/arabian-ranches then you have to download the views_galleriffic module and install it and choose the style option "Galleriffic Gallery". You can choose the content type by using the filter in the views.
That's it cheers
i implemented this in my website richtown.ae
if you still unclear please send me the email social#richtown.ae i will reply you & ready to help you we can share information
i am using this module in drupal 6.
I resorted to using the EVA module ( http://drupal.org/project/eva ).
In addition to Woodgnome's answer
Let's say you have a content type named 'Product'
You want to attach a view to it.
Here are the steps using the eva module :
On your view edit page :
Section Displays
+Add : Eva field
Section ENTITY CONTENT SETTINGS
Entity type:Node
Bundles:Product
That's it, going to a node product type will now display the view
I am very new to Drupal and I need a bit of help. I am working with Drupal 6 (because that is what the site uses).
I was asked to make a View that would display a RSS feed of certain parts of the website and I don't understand how to do this. I know how to create a View and that it must be set as a "feed". But I am not clear about what to do from here. From the examples I have seen (and not entirely understood), it seems you might need to to modify the arguements or fields, but in which way?
Also, what exactly does the "attach to" in the feed settings do?
You will want to create a view, and add a display of type feed using row style: node.
The default behavior will assume you want to include all fields on the node in the feed.
However, you can control the fields that are included in the feed by going to Content Management > [Your content type] > Display fields > RSS. From here there are checkboxes which allow you to select fields for exclusion when being displayed as part of an RSS feed.
The "attach to" setting allows you to select a page or block view on which to display an RSS icon that links to this feed.
Depending on the content you want to include in the feed, you will want to set a filter, most likely on node: type, and node: published.
Is it possible to elegantly do this? The idea is, a node of content type "project" has a lot of fields, its url is something like node/5. I want to show some of the fields on that page, and others on node/5/extra, kind of an "extended" page that the user only loads if he is interested in that content (lots of images, in my case, that would slow down the main node page considerably).
I tried the Display suite module, unsuccessfully (it seems it's not really meant for doing what I want). I also saw this blog post, which explains how to add a custom display mode to a content type (other than the Default and Teaser ones that come by default), but I can't get it to work the way I want to either.
I guess you could create a view having the node ID as a default argument from URL. Then you can choose which fields to show or hide
Intro
I am in the process of trying to convert my first HTML/CSS design into a theme for Drupal. I have used ModX for quite a few designs and appreciate the ability to create different page templates and custom variables to be assigned to those templates. However I seem to be having some issues making the transition.
The site I am working on theming in Drupal is for a real estate agent. Each page/section will have a different set of content associated with it and will need to display only that content. For example, there will be a page for current listings, each of which will be formatted by a custom content type. However, when I call the content on the home page (or on other pages) I do not want to see this listing data.
Layout
The layout of the site and the regions associated with each page/section is as follows:
Home
Spotlight
Featured 1
Featured 2
About
Spotlight
Bios - Profiles of each agent (each will be a node with name, contact info, pic, etc) listed on the page; multiple nodes listed
Sidebar
Listings
Spotlight
Listings - Profiles of properties (each will be a node with locations, basic info, pic, etc) listed on the page; multiple nodes listed
Sidebar
Services
Spotlight
Content - general paragraph text area
Sidebar
News/Blog
News/Blog Items - List of stories with summaries and links to full article
Sidebar
Each page/section will use the same header and footer.
Issue
I have done some reading on Drupal, custom content types (and CCK), Views, and Pathauto. However I have not been able to get a clear picture of how to put it all together to accomplish what I am attempting. What I really would like to know is which modules to use, how best to use them, which elements I need to use where, and what template files I should be using to theme the elements I need to use. Any help or reference to useful resources would be much appreciated.
This is a rather general question, and your description is a kind of vague on important distinctions like page vs. site section vs. page region. That said, some general advice: start by installing the admin module. Then get all your content generally in the right places with someone else's theme, e.g. Garland, before you start doing any of your own theming. You should be able to get pretty far without touching code. Use CCK to define your content structure. You should already have a type for page and it sounds like you'll want to add a type for feature, bio, listing, and blog post. Depending on the details, you may need to add some additional field modules, e.g. if you have images, you'll probably want the imagefield module.
Once you have the content types defined, configure pathauto, and start adding content.
Once you have some content, you'll want to create some lists of it with views. You may want to start with the simpleviews module, as the views UI can be overwhelming. Save your views as block display, and then use the blocks admin to put the in the right page region, and configure them to show up only on the right pages.
At that point, you'll want to start controlling how the individual items (nodes) look in different contexts. That's when you start theming. For that, I'd install the devel module, look at what other themes do, and call dsm() on any variables you don't understand to see what they look like.
You can generally get quick help with specific questions on the Drupal IRC channels.
The easiest way to do what you want to do may be to put your custom content in blocks and set the access settings for the blocks to be only on certain pages. So, for instance if you have content that you want to appear at /spotlight or /node/22 or such, you would just create a custom block (Site Building -> Blocks) and then in the settings, set the block to only show for that node.
