Does anyone know where the option to print an infopath form (in my case a customized list form) exists in SharePoint 2010?
In MOSS this functionality comes out of the box but either I am missing something really simple or my environment isn't set up properly.
Does anyone have any suggestions they can offer?
Cheers
This functionality is also built into SP2010 / Infopath 2010. However there is no way to configure it within Sharepoint - but only in InfoPath.
In Infopath under File > Info > Form Options you have several possibilities to restrict users from doing stuff with your form. To get the print functionality you need to enable the InfoPath Ribbon ("Show InfoPath commands in Ribbon or toolbar" and also the Print Preview option and you are good to go. See the below image for the correct settings in the dialog:

I've tried several editors (Visuals Studio 2013, notepad++, sublime) but all of them show the code of the aspx pages a text. Non of them is doing any intending or syntax highlighting.
All what I want is to open an aspx page via the explorer and edit it in a proper editor, can't be that complicated but I'm not going to make it.
Does anyone has an idea, what I should use.
Do I need to activate some well hidden option, for proper intending?
It's very difficult to find a very good text editor for aspx pages.
Personally I use brackets : http://brackets.io/
With Notepad++ your can choose the XML syntax highlighter. Before using brackets I was doing that.
There is a new text editor from Microsoft called 'Code': https://code.visualstudio.com/
It looks not bad, maybe you could give it a try?
The problem is that ASPX pages in the Intranet don't need to be necessarily asp.net pages, as in my case, due to inherence from system layout.
So there are only two options either you use Share Point Designer what involves extra cost etc. or you design your text, web part or page in an standard brackets, visual studio. Afterwards you copy the entire code into that tiny window when you click 'show HTML source' when editing a page directly via the 'edit site' interface.
I am pretty new at MS Dynamics CRM and trying to learn all development process by myself.
I customized a solution into MS Dynamics CRM by using the Solutions segments and published it. But there wasn't any development process. I want to change the existing button's codes. For example I want write a Select statement into 'New' button. Also I want to create a custom button and write some sample codes into it. How can I do that? I already download and install Ribbon Workbench but it doesn't give me these options (writing code samples etc.).
Should we do this into Visual Studio 2008? If we do how can I add the solution's code into there?
You are going to be using JScript in ribbon buttons. There are a lot of samples on the web for doing this. You should use a ribbon editor to speed things up.
The only tricky part is referencing your WebResource from the ribbon. You'll want to use the $webresource: notation as this example shows. You may want to check out the Visual Ribbon Editor.
Is there any approach to have a simple WYSWYG free web editor (preferably drag'n'drop widgets -based) embedded or integrated into Sharepoint 2010?
I am shocked because this answer seems to not exist... So far I've found...
Plugins for integrating Sharepoint into Drupal, Joomla or Wordpress, but I want the opposite, using those interfaces to create content stored in Sharepoint, without having to export HTMLs and adapting them to SP arquitecture and metadata. If not, I cannot even find any way to export a Wordpress/Drupal site into Sharepoint.
Web content rich editor: Am I doing something wrong is this just an html loader that does not edit a thing?
Webparts: all seem to be costly, and I am not sure there even exists a nice one for that concrete task
Could somebody point me to the most optimal solution for non-tech users using this feature? Thank you
By the way, is there any public web part repository from microsoft. Even searching that in google does not throw any interesting info..
Most public, open source projects for Microsoft can be found at http://www.codeplex.com/.
Regarding your requirement, if I understand correctly, you want to have a way to store content in SharePoint for display in a drupal or other CMS. The content should be in HTML format. If I understand you correctly, the easiest way to do this is to create a basic SharePoint list, add a multiline column and set the type of text to Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks). When you add an item to the list, the form will include a form element that has a WYSWYG editor.
I've integrated SharePoint with Linux before using Curl. It's not easy, but can be done.
I've been looking hard to find a web page editor that can let me visually edit an already-designed asp.net web form page. for the whole period, I've made my page designs with Dreamweaver (now I'm using Dreamweaver CS4) and transfered my designs to Visual Studio 2010 to make asp.net pages from that template. Table editing feature for web forms in Visual Studio is really annoying and by trying to change a column width, the table structure is corrupted and VS decides to change everything on that table (compare it with Dreamweaver which only changes those two columns which their border is changed instead of the whole columns of that table).
Unfortunately Dreamweaver does not recognize the asp.net tags syntax and because of that it can not properly render them in design mode. I want to know if you know any tool (preferably non-Microsoft tool) that can let me open an asp.net web form in it and edit the page elements visually without side effects that Visual Studio causes to my page design. (I use HTML tables for arranging my page elements.)
By the way I looked at this link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTML_editors
but after opening all the visual editors web pages, I did not find any tool that supports ASP.net tags.
Is there a particular reason that though you are working on a Microsoft platform that you don't want to use a Microsoft editor?
MS provides two free tools that may help you:
Visual Studio Express
Web Matrix
Also, I highly recommend using CSS classes to set widths on ASP.NET generated tables/columns. (Rather than using the styling attributes for those ASP.NET controls.)
Hope this helps.
you can use AjaxControlToolkit.HTMLEditor.Editor.
Put the DLL in your project and than put in the page, than you can edit.
Create some logic to view and edit with some permission, and your page will have content editable.
I am just assigned a project to make a paper based process to be web based. What I need to do is to allow user to fill out an online form and sign it using his/her mouse. The data entered and the signature needs to be later retrieved as a PDF file.
So, I've created a working prototype using ASP.NET webforms and a third party PDF library ( iTextSharp), along with a mouse signature capture tool that I purchased.
The prototype works fine. But my concern is, I may need to extend this application to support many ( maybe hundreds of) forms. Each form has different fields, but they all require a signature. It took me 2 days to build the prototype for one form, including creating the web forms, mark fields in PDF template, hook up web form fields with fields in PDF form, etc...In the future I don't want to spend 2 days to set up each form, is there a better way than building custom form using ASP.NET?
I know of InfoPath, but never used it, has anyone done anything similar before? Is InfoPath with SharePoint a better solution to my problem? Or there is something else? If anyone can give me some advice, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks a lot!
The advantage that infopath has is that it has the ability to take advantage of digital ink (handwriting) out of the box. if your version of Windows includes Microsoft Ink (XP tablet, Vista, Win 7) then Infopath will allow you to capture text and images using various available input devices (mouse, pen etc..) depending on the control that you use. A textbox will using handwriting recognition to convert the writing into text, where as an image box will allow free drawing, ideal for caputring a signature.
I have used Infopath as a standalone disconected client system that used email as the transport system. the forms were attatched to an email and added to the outbox. when the user retrieved their email, the forms were automatically sent. The great thing about infopath is that the data is xml. this gives you enourmous flexabilty with what you can do with the data.
As a side note...
You may want to think about the legal side of things when people are signing (using handwriting) e-forms. As Infopath seperates the presentation and the data, which is great for capturing the data for reporting, workflow etc, it becomes a downside from a legal standpoint as the data can be manipulated and presented very differently from what the signee originally signed. In most cases this is not problem, but if the the form is any form of legal document (invoice, goods receipt) you will need to think about how to keep both the data and presentation together and seperate at the same time.
This will be a problem for any system that seperates the data from the presentation, be it web based forms, infopath, or PDF forms.
Hope this helps...
I have also been tasked with a similar problem to solve. I looked at solutions like Adobe LifeCycle but we wanted to use SharePoint as an ECM. One of the problems with InfoPath is that it requires SharePoint or the InfoPath desktop application to fill out the forms. If you don't already have SharePoint setup or cannot use SharePoint, then InfoPath is not the way to go. I didn't want to duplicate efforts by having to create the entire form using html forms and then have to merge all that data onto a printable version for them to sign... seemed like duplicating efforts so I saw InfoPath as a possible solution. Adobe LifeCycle seemed almost a better way to go because we can just use a fillable PDF to capture, do some validation and submit the data. However, Adobe LifeCycle was very expensive so wasn't a good solution for the project.
So if its not a problem having SharePoint as part of your solution, then by all means go for it. But, if you need people to fill out the InfoPath form and not use the desktop client or be logged into SharePoint, then I don't think it's the right solution.
#sean717: You approach with itextsharp reminds me of the existing tool we use in our company. Check www.pdfsharepoint.com if you want to both highly interactive pdf forms and integration with SharePoint 2010. It works for us.
