We have files on server of several types (.pdf, .docx, .jpeg). The scenario is a user press a button (a link) and the print dialog opens which will print the content of a file chosen.
Can you please advise solutions to do it?
I think it's gonna be a link to another page where we fill in response with a file content and JavaScript window.print();
The option you've considered (opening the file in a new page) is a good one. You could also try doing the same thing but in an iframe. That would maybe be a better user experience if you want to avoid a new page/tab opening up.

I have a very strange external links behavior on this page:
https://dev.switchonpaper.site/en/daniel-g-andujar-the-artist-as-a-thinker-and-augur-of-what-happens/
There is a list of external links visible by clicking on "Go Deeper".
On some links, the address of the current page is added at the beginning of the external link.
E.g.: iSAM™ (1997)
E.g.: TTTP Photo Collection - 1997
All external links are absolute links.
When you look at the source code, the links are correct.
This site runs under Wordpress, the links are contained in a Gutenberg block built with the ACF plugin.
I tested the following things:
Disable all plugins.
The browser or something else continues to add the current page address on some links only.
I emptied the server cache, removed all the .htaccess rules except the wordpress part.
I made sure that the PHP file that writes these links is in UTF-8.
By recreating the links, it is always the same ones who are affected.
Does anyone have any idea what could cause this?
Thank you for your time and help!
You have the so called "hidden characters" before your link start. I suggest you to check it by yourself with some online tool like this: https://www.soscisurvey.de/tools/view-chars.php. If you try to paste there the link copied by your source code you will see you have hidden stuff before "https:..."
The solution to this issue is that you delete all the characters and you write them all over again by yourself, w/o copy/pasting them from another source or in alternative paste them inside some non-HTML text editor before pasting them to your website
I'm working on new website (all modules are up to date) but for some reason IMCE file browser is not working well. For image fields in my content types for "file sources" I also check "IMCE file browser".
Then when I'm creating node in that type if I just upload file standard way it works well. But if I want to use IMCE file browser and select already uploaded image it all works up to last step. I click "File browser", then "browse" link, browser's popup appears, I select image, then click "Insert file" (or click on image preview - makes no difference), popup closes, but selected image is not inserted into my file field.
What can cause this behavior?
I had a simillar issue and following these steps made it work for me.
Try the following:
Clear your drupal cache. This can often solve the problem as some items may not have been cached yet.
Keep the Chrome Developer Console open to see if there are any JS errors which may hint at the problem.
In your CKEditor settings, make sure you tick "Plugin for inserting files from IMCE without image dialog"
Ensure that the input field is using Full HTML
If the above does not help try reinstalling IMCE and your WYSIWYG Editor such as CKEditor
I hope this helps.
I am pretty new to Sharepoint.
I need to customize some Sharepoint Masterpages (the background color, the font type and a few other css requeriments).
Considering I have available the following files: v4.master, default.master and two more pages which are content pages of default.master, plus the COREv4.css file.
I know I should create a copy of one of those master pages (I am not sure which tho) and customize it changing the CSS linked to it). The following questions come in regards of this:
1) The custom CSS file should be a modified copy of the COREv4.CSS or just another CSS file with the desired styles?
2) How do I create/link the customized CSS file for the modified page via Site Settings?. How/Where should I save the new file?.
3) As for the copy of v4.master, How do I load it to "replace" the original one for the site?.
4) The system is built upon Sharepoint 2010. That ensures that the page to have the modified CSS would be a v4.master copy only?.
Thank you for the insight as always.
**Update**
Hi,
I managed to solve the problem getting a general idea with the pdf manual provided, your suggestions and some extra steps I will describe briefly:
1) To place my custom css file I put it in the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\3082\STYLES
2) I opened the site to be customized with Sharepoint Designer 2010.
3) I clicked on the option Main Pages/Master Pages, and selected the page to be v4.master page, copied and pasted it. Then I renamed it right clicking on it, selecting "Rename" and typed the new name, after doing that I right clicked one more and selected "Set page as main default page".
4) To edit the contents of the page I right clicked once more and selected the option "Edit content in advanced mode", right before the head tag ended I copied and pasted:
<SharePoint:CssRegistration name="customname.css" runat="server" After="core4.css"/>
Note that "customname.css" is my css file. Then I clicked on the floppy disk icon on the upper left side of the screen to save.
5) After doing that I used Chrome HTML/CSS Analyzer, inspecting the original (and now copied) master page to browse on the zones that needed customization in order to identify the class names/ids/element types that managed the styles to be changed. Once identified I only added to them the properties that required change, EG:
//Webparts Alternate Highlighted Rows
div#ctl00_MSO_ContentDiv table.ms-viewlsts tbody
tr.ms-alternatingstrong{ background-color:#F7FAF4 }
table.ms-listviewtable.ms-basictable tbody
tr.ms-alternatingstrong.ms-itmhover{ background-color:#F7FAF4 }
I mostly did this by myself by trial and error with Chrome Analyzer but I also helped the task using the Chart found here (http://sharepointexperience.com/csschart/csschart.html), tho at some point going thru it turned a bit tricky and I decided to do it by myself as I mentioned. In the process I repeatedly added more styles to the custom file and then overwrote it on the server location to refresh the page/pages to see how it was looking, this till the end of the process.
Thanks for your help, I hope this serves as a guide for anyone that needs it. If you have questions let me know.
You can create a new master page from the scratch or modify the existing one.
Please have a look at this link it may help you to get answers of your questions
http://www.rdacorp.com/wp-content/uploads/ASP-NET-Master-Pages-and-SharePoint.pdf
It's not advised to modify files of SharePoint.
Better to create new master page file, specify all CSS and script you want inside and install this with feature.
What version of SharePoint do you have? SharePoint 2010 Server or Foundation? Cause with server version you can brand your master page in a cool way:
see this link
Microsoft has a good introductory article on how you can/should do this.

I have a project that needs to upload a large file, while that file is uploading is it possible to progress through a series of other screens, to continue to obtain input from user, then once they get to the final screen, file is uploaded.
Anyone have a trick for something like this ? As i know the file upload happens within a form post/get.
You can do this using an iframe, which simple links to a page with a form to post a file, once the user has selected a file and clicked upload/submit you can hide the iframe and progress into our areas... but things will get tricky where you need to handle errors, ie: incorrect file formats, zero byte files etc... maybe you can download the file and display any errors right at the end of your process/wizard input.
I often need to display MyFile.aspx in the browser while it's not the actual file I'm working on: I might be working on a .js file that's referenced in Myfile.aspx file, or some back-end library.
So I have to switch from the tab I'm on the MyFile.aspx tab and then click the View In Browser button. Is there a way to avoid this extra step? I know I could set MyPage.aspx as the default start page and hit the Play button but then the whole site would be rebuilt and it would take even longer than finding and switching tabs constantly.
How can I add a button to the toolbar that directly previews MyFile.aspx in the browser?
I'm using VS2012 RC (really cool BTW)
Thanks for your suggestions.
Yes. You just should:
Go to Tools->Customize
Select the tab "Commands", click on the "Keyboard" button.
In the "Show command containing" textbox, type the following: file.viewinbrowser
Set a hot key for this
well your easy answer is to just keep that page open in the browser and just refresh the browser
a more complicated answer would be to add a external tool' command to do this. Go to Tools -> External Tools... and a new entry with the Command being C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe or whatever your browser of choice it and then put your URL in the Arguments field. If you want to assign this to a keyboard shortcut, follow the instrucutions at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/80cb6ks3.aspx
