I have a webform that has a "create item" action. The target item has a "general link" field. I can't find the correct way to populate this field. the other fields are saved correctly, the general link is always blank.
The easiest way to go here would be to create the item of the template you're creating programatically and then put a link value into it using one of the link options.
If you then go to 'View' and tick the raw values option you can see how it formats the link. If you're using a General link field, you'll likely find that the formatting needs to be in a specific way. If you do some searching on the web/Sitecore doco, you'll be able to find some examples of people handing all the various link options.
as opposed to just plonking your link into a single line text field or something like that which is just plain text..

I am working on "Advanced integration" of a forms from Wufoo to Asana. SO far I have followed the Asana guide - https://asana.com/guide/help/api/wufoo
Guide is excellent and everything within the guide work as it says, but I need to go a bit further.
I notice that there is a bit of symbols that asana recognize from the forms( like quotes"" , equal ==, question mark ?), example of multiple choice menu:
"Chose person" == "asana tag" ? 1559453678421
"Chose person" == "asana person" ? blablabla#something.org
So in the following example I can have a multi choice menu that can assign task to a person and/or put a tag.
If I add a second person, that person become a follower, which is great.
My goal:
I want to make the form filler to add its email address, and that email address to be add as follower of the task.
What I know:
I have so far talked with Wufoo support and they told me that the text from the form goes in a straight text form to Asana, and asana actually recognize the form and create the specific tasks, for example:
<strong>This become BOLD text in asana</strong>
I keep on looking for the rest of the recognized symbols, but without success so far. If you have any kind of information regarding the "Advanced integration" I would love to know.
(I work at Asana.) Right now we only support routing through fields that are hidden (have the "hide" classname) with our Wufoo integration, but your use-case is very interesting. I'll take a look and see if we can enable this.
I have found a 2 workarounds to make this work for me.
Workaround 1
So far I have discover that asana recognize "hide" CSS Layout and the field labels : project,tag,assignee,follower . If these values are true then to make this editable I add a Wufoo form Rule that can show/hide fields. for example :
If "Email" contains "#" show "assignee"
And that rule does not change the CSS Layout Keyword "hide" so the form is send the same way with the only difference that the "hide" field is actually visible and that make it easily editable.
Workaround 2
By keeping the fields hide you can still edit them with "URL Modifications ". So basically have 2 forms linked together, so the first form fill up information that is send to the second form within the URL, so the fields remain hidden but being filled up by the URL. - I have not played with that much but Wufoo support briefly explain to me that its possible

I am surprised there isn't an Umbraco Contour field out-of-the-box that lets form editors write RichText or at least plain text instructions in-between the form fields, so that form authors can add more detailed instructions scattered throughout a form.
Does anyone know if this exists?
I found this suggestion in 2011: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-pro/contour/22661-Place-plain-text-in-contour-form
My first attempt, I put together a custom field for Contour 3.0.21 and Umbraco 7.1.x, but I am not too keen on how the form results table now has an empty column. Instead, I would prefer that the content is placed in the form without creating a column in the result table, and also without emailing an empty field in the "Send Email" workflow email.
Have you tried taking a look at the Contour Contrib project for Contour?
http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/contour-contrib
There is a Label fieldtype there that I believe does what you're looking for. If it does, you can get the source for that project and use that to create more field types that meet your needs. I hope that helps!
I use LibreOffice Writer and I want to insert an alternative text to a specific phrase in the document, how can I do it?
Example if we have an image in the document we can make double left click and add the alternative text like this:
Is it possible to make the same if we select a whole phrase of text? If yes how? And if No is there any other proposal?
The alternative text in 'word'/odt documents is actually intended as the 'alt' attribute in HTML (web) pages:
The alt attribute provides alternative information for an image if a
user for some reason cannot view it (because of slow connection, an
error in the src attribute, or if the user uses a screen reader).
(http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_img_alt.asp)
It's only purpuse is thus to provide the user with information in case he/she can not view the image. Since having alternative text in case some text cannot be displayed is, well, silly, this 'alt' attribute is not defined for pieces of text. Alternatively, you could have a hyperlink pointing to nothing ("#"), which does provide a tooltip attribute.
What is it that you're intending to achieve anyway? It's not going to show up on any prints, which is the intended purpose of Writer... Footnotes (for prints) or Comments (for communication with co-editors) might suit you better.
I have a SharePoint Server 2007 installation. What I needed to do is to create a simple printable page/file which is populated with data from a list. For various bugs and reasons I can't do this with a word template in a word document library and I can't use workflows.
My solution so far is very rude and simple, but it gets the jobs done:
I created a new custom form called print.aspx
I insert a Custom List Form based on the display form.
Successfully pasted the text, put the data fields and added a couple of text fields for additional data that is required in the print form but not on the list item.
This print.aspx custom form won't save anything and it is not required.
Now what I want to do is place a link in the customized DispForm.aspx that leads to the printing page so when the user enters the list item and it is approved they can click to see it. At the bottom of the DispForm.aspx there will be a simple link to print.aspx saying "To print this click here". Unfortunately I have no idea how to link to the ID of the item in print.aspx.
Example:
In InternalPortal/Lists/ImportantList/DispForm.aspx?ID=5 I want the link to point to InternalPortal/Lists/ImportantList/print.aspx?ID=5
Already tried ID={#ID} and ID=item.ID but to be honest and not sure how to use them.
Edit: In summary - the link ends in ID={#ID} but it should be in the DataFormWebPart. This will not work outside of it.
I am building a website where the user should have the capability of adding their School/University. I have noticed in LinkedIn, when i tried to type in my school name , it showed up a auto search box with all the schools, beginning with the letter i typed. How can i achieve the same functionality?
Do they save all the Universities in their database ? Or is there any Open webservices i can use that will show all the Schools/Universities ?
Thanks !
This feature is called "Auto Complete" and the text boxes are enabled with that. These allow you to filter the data required according to the characters you type in.
Please see this post for auto-complete feature implemented using jQuery.
Razor: Auto-complete text box inside jqGrid, How to bind values?
The example shown in that page lists all from the database. However, as a next phase, you can as well extend this feature to look for a WCF exposed service for universe of schools/colleges.
FYI" "GetSkillNameAutocomplete" is a method in the controller that takes a string parameter as an input (the search string) and gets the value(s).
Hope this helps!
