Open list item attachments with a click on the paperclip

All you have to do is uploading this script to the Style Library (or any other document libary, SVN or the Hive )  and putting the following snippet into a CEWP or Script Editor Web Part on the page where you want to to have this functionality.

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="..location of the script here../ListAttachments.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var argObj = {hideIdColumn:true,
              clickToOpen:false,
              clickMouseover:'Click to open',
              oneClickOpenIfSingle:true};
</script>
Please note: To make this script work, your list view has to have the ID column as well as the attachment column visible.

The four options you can see in the snippet above are as follows:

1.hideIdColumn: Defines whether the ID column will be hidden or not
2.clickToOpen: Defines whether you have to click in the paperclip in order to see the list of attached files or not
3.clickMouseOver: Defines the text in the tooltip when you hover your mouse over the paperclip
4.oneClickOpenIfSingle: Defines if an attachment is directly opened or not if it is the only attachment of the list item

“This Page has been modified since you opened it. You must open the page again. Refresh page.” error message

open the page in SharePoint designer and add the below script “ MSO_PageHashCode clearing script” :

<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
if(document.getElementById(“MSO_PageHashCode”))
{
document.getElementById(“MSO_PageHashCode”).value=”";
}
</script>

Sometimes , You may face this issue when using any button (like asp:linkbutton or asp:button) for navigating to different URL (i.e: using the postback property) because , it’ll submit page.form , So in order to avoid this you should use normal <a href=”"></a> or use asp:hyperlink control.

Remove duplicate entries from Quicklaunch and Top Navigation (zine fame)

change the web URL in the attached powershell script file and run the script on powershell prompt.

RemoveDuplicateLinks.ps1.txt **********************************

#New version of the detect and removal script:
#  You put the affected site collections into a textfile -> sites.txt <- which is stored in the same path as the ps script 
#  It will check all sites of each site collection of the sites.txt file to see if there are duplicates in the QuickLaunch and/or TopNavigation (NEW!)
#  Logging to a logfile commented out as it was not efficient (filling up disk space) …   
#  Tool will still output everything to the cmd prompt.

File Upload control in sharepoint designer

Normally SharePoint provides Document Attachment in the ribbon. But in my case ribbon was hide from the user. So I need to add Attachment Control on the form instead of ribbon. So I achieve it using Client Object Model. Insert the following code in your form to make attachment field available in the Form.

<tr>
     <td rowspan="2" width="190px" valign="top" height="50px">
        <H3>
             Upload Evidence
        </H3>
     </td>
     <td valign="bottom" height="15" id="attachmentsOnClient">
         <span dir="ltr">
             <input type="file" name="fileupload0" id="onetidIOFile" size="56" title="Name" /> 
         </span>
     </td>
</tr>
<tr>
      <td colspan="4">
           <input id="attachOKbutton" type="BUTTON" onclick='OkAttach()' value="Upload" style="width: 12.8em; height: 2em"/>
           <span id="idSpace"/>
        </td>
</tr>
