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 trying to find the correct template and id to use for a hotprint of an advanced pdf template of an Item Fulfillment.
The hot print url is (with the id bolded) https://system.na3.netsuite.com/app/accounting/print/hotprint.nl?regular=T&sethotprinter=T&id=7600&label=Packing%20Slip&printtype=packingslip&trantype=itemship&orgtrantype=TrnfrOrd&auxtrans=7605
For some reason only certain id=# seems to affect the outcome and the ids I have got to work for two different templates don't match the Custom Transaction Forms ID or the Advanced pdf script id. (example most ids=template 1, while 168,4954, and seemingly random other ids=template 2) I am very confused on how netsuite resolves the hot print url as it normally doesn't include the template= part though I have seen others use it for invoice print urls.
The parameters at the end of the url (the stuff after the ?) are used by Netsuite to control settings used by the webpage which prints the PDFs for you.
In this case, &id=##### refers to the internal id of the document you are printing. You can see this by going to the document, right clicking, selecting inspect, and typing nlapiGetRecordId() into the console. When you click Print, you should see that same number after &id=#####.
&template=### refers to the template you are printing. If you go to Customization -> Forms -> Advanced PDF/HTML Templates, you'll notice a Script ID field in the table. If you substitute the correct Script ID in for the number in &template=###, you'll notice you generate the same PDF. This Script ID acts the same as the number that was previously there.
The reason you're seeing unusual results when you change those numbers is because you're mismatching a record with a template not built for it. So it won't print exactly right, but will sometimes execute anyways.
Anyways, this sort of parameter scheme is a similar scheme to how Suitelets and Restlets work, so in the future, you might experience this sort of thing again.
EDIT: For those reading this in the future, please read the comments.
To customize a packing slip and return form:
If you are printing packing slips and need some customization, you can use a custom invoice form when printing packing slips. For example, you can customize an invoice form to hide the fulfilled item tax rate and amount, and the order total. Then, when you print the packing slip using the custom form through mass print, choose the the packing slip shows the customized information.
For a tag system, when entering a new item, I'd like the user to start typing a letter or two and see possible tags...similar to how SO tags work on the website i.e. Ajax.
Is there a way to do this on IOS?
Basically the Add Item screen has some empty text fields where you put the name etc.
I'd like to have an additional empty field where as you enter letters you see possible tags appear below and can then select one to tag the item.
The tags would be served from an entity or table so there would have to be a call to core data to supply them based on the letters typed.
Do I have to implement a full blown tableview to do this? Or is there a way to make the possible tags show up below the textfield box.
Thanks for any suggestions.
You could try a third party development in order to make what you want. In a recent project I have used this one:
https://github.com/EddyBorja/MLPAutoCompleteTextField
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

Actually, I never tried this but it's supposed to work judging from some comments I've read. I have two grids: One displays Hotel guests and the other one their former stays (Date from- date to, etc..). Now I would like to be able to print both contents as a single report.How do I add the linked contents of the second grid to my dxComponentPrinter1Link1 ??
In the IDE open your form.
Right click and choose ReportLinks on the TdxComponentPrinter
object.
In the links editor window, instead of clicking the Add button, click the dropdown arrow next to the Add button. Choose Add Composition.
This creates a TdxCompositionReportLink object. There is an Items property which will hold all of the report links you want in the composite report. This will print out as a single report. I can't promise both reports will be on the same page though. I've never figured out how to do that.
I'm looking for an enchanced edit component that allow users to input multiple tokens (items) manually separated by some symbol, or to select them from another source.
It's something like "TO" field in outlook or facebook that allow you to input multiple recipients.
Can anyone suggest any solution?
The way we sort of do it is to use an normal button edit box and when the user clicks the button we present a separate form (which can be made to look like a drop down box if you like) with a checklist or listview with checkboxes enabled or similar. The user selects any number of the items then when the form closes we take the list of selected items and present them in the edit as a comma or semi-colon separated list. The edit itself is read-only so all interaction goes through the separate form.
But - I really don't like the whole approach (for our app) as it doesn't look good when you have many selected items and I'm looking to find a better way of showing the selection! I suppose one option is to use a read-only memo with scrollbars to show the items.
TMS has some nice components, one of which is the TCheckListEdit which might be of use.
