Look up columns problem with List Templates.

When we try to recreate the lists with look up columns from one site to another site, we lose the look up connection.

For example if have two sites 

A and B

A has list called A1 which has a look up column referring List AL1

If you want to take a copy of list A1 and recreate it in site B as B1 with look up referring to BL1.

Follow these steps

1. Save List A1 as template (.stp).
2.  Go to site collection settings.
3. open the list template gallery.
4. Save the A1's template in your computer.
5. Go to the .stp file saved in you computer.
6. change its extension to .cab 
7. open the ziped file and extract the files in it to a folder.
8. Open the manifest.xml file in notepad (or any other text editor).
9. search for the GUID of list AL1 and replace it with GUID or BL1.
10. save the manifest.xml file
11. open command prompt and type the command "makecab manifest.xml template1.stp".
12. It creates the template1.stp file.
13. Upload template1.stp to the site collection of B site.
14. create the list B1 using template1.stp.
15. If you have multiple look up fields repeat the step 1 to 14 for all those fields.

Copying and Moving SharePoint Designer (2007) Workflows....

Hi,

        This is a common challenge for every one who works on SharePoint Designer Workflows.

       In the working environment, after developing a workflow on a list using SharePoint Designer. There is no Out-of the -Box option to assign that workflow to other List in same server or in other server.

Here is the a simple work around for that

NOTE:- You should have the same column names in both lists. Atleast you should have the columns that you used in rules or actions of the workflow. However, the workflow can be moved eventhough if you dont have the common columns. But the problem is after moving the workflow, the columns that are not present in new list will be listed as blank in workflow. Don't worry you will understand after starting working on it.


Here are the steps.

1) open the WorkFlows folder in SharePoint Designer
2) Expand the workflow that you want to move
3) open <your workflow name> .xoml.wfconfig.xml file.
4) In the Association tag replace the listid with your new list id *.
5) save and close that file.
6) open you workflow xoml file and click finish.
 Thats it you are done.

* In order to find the List ID of your New List open the list setting. In url you can find the list id.
( Replace %7B with {, %7D with }, %2D with -).

Post Comments if you have any trouble doing this.

Simple CSS code to hide Time on the top of each entry in Calendar View.

Hi,

In the Calendar View, by default the time will showed on top of each entry.

If you are entering time at the time of new item creation thats fine. But if you are using only Date field then it shows you as 12:00 AM for each entry. In order to hide that in Month and Week view:

1) Site Actions -> Edit Page-> Add WebPart -> Content Editor WebPart.
2) Modify Shared WebPart -> Source Editor.
3) Paste this code

"style

td.ms-cal-monthitem A NOBR {display:none;}

a.ms-cal-dayitem NOBR {display:none;}

/style"

NOTE: style are HTML tags.
.

Done.
