SharePoint Filtered Lookup Field

Download here: http://filteredlookup.codeplex.com/

This project creates a custom SharePoint lookup field that offers new functionalities to default SharePoint lookup field by allowing filters to be applied to retrieved data. Applied filters can be either dynamic CAML queries or pre-defined list views residing in source lists

Below is a few of the features offered by Filtered Lookup field over standard SharePoint Lookup field:

• Cross-site lookup (all sites within same site collection)
• Filter retrieved data using list views
• Filter retrieved data using dynamic/ad-hoc CAML queries. This means you don't need to create a list view each time you want to apply a lookup filter to source data
• Supports retrieving data recursively using either list views or dynamic queries
• Supports MultiLookup with filtered data
• Same look and feel as default SharePoint Lookup and MultiLookup (i.e. in list forms)

SharePoint Designer Workflow String Actions

Download here: http://spdwfstringactions.codeplex.com/

The source code is maintained in a Visual Studio 2008 environment, with WSPBuilder Version 0.9.9.0728.

After adding the WSP to your SharePoint environment, and deploying it, a Web Application feature will appear that must be activated on any web app on which users customise SharePoint Designer Workflows. If the feature isn't activated, users who open the SharePoint Designer Workflows UI will encounter an error when loading the SharePoint Designer Workflow UI. The error can be ignored, however none of these custom Workflow Actions will be available as a result.

After the feature is activated, you will see a bunch of new Workflow Actions in SharePoint Designer. Find them in the Workflow Designer by selecting the "Actions" drop-down button, choose "More Actions..." then choose "String Actions" from the "Select a Category" drop-down.

The following String Actions are included in this release:

• Contains - .Net String method
• EndsWith - .Net String method
• Entry - custom procedure that uses the delimiter provided to split a string, and return the entry occuring at the position provided
• FormatDate - uses the .Net DateTime ToString method
• IndexOf(string) - .Net String method
• IndexOf(string, startIndex) - .Net String method
• Length - .Net String property
• Num-Entries - custom procedure that uses the delimiter provided to split a string, and return the number of entries
• Replace - .Net String method
• StartsWith - .Net String method
• SubString(start) - .Net String method
• SubString(start, length) - .Net String method
• ToLower - .Net String method
• ToUpper - .Net String method

SharePoint 2013/2010 - Add PDF icon to the images library

Step 1: Open Image Folder at the SharePoint Server

c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\<port>\TEMPLATE\IMAGES
<port>: e.g. 12

Step 2: Copy the following image to the folder:

(.gif for SharePoint 2010) (.png for SharePoint 2013)


Step 3: After you copy the picture file you need navigate to
“C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML”

Step 4: And edit the DocIcon.xml with notepad and add the line
<Mapping Key=”pdf” Value=”icpdf.gif”/>

Once this is edited and saved (I would also recommend doing a backup of the file before you save it) you will need to do an IISreset before the icon will display.
