I've got a web part that I'm using to add some custom controls to the New, Edit and Display forms for a SharePoint ListItem. I added a handler for SPContext.Current.FormContext.OnSaveHandler to update the item. I add my web part to the Edit and New forms using SharePoint Designer and hide (set IsVisible=False) for the DataFormWebPart that's put in by default. Everything works fine when editing an item. My OnSaveHandler function is called and I update the SPListItem. The problem is with a new item. The OnSaveHandler function is not called unless I have the DataWebFormPart visible. I make no

Before I tear what is left of my hair out I have been trying to modify some master pages in SharePoint Designer and whenever I make HTML markup changes it reformats them as it see's fit. For example, I am trying to make the code readable so I am moving items to their own lines and such. As soon as I save it moves everything back to a single line of code. This was a problem that I had with VS2003 & VS2005, until VS2005 SP1. Unfortunately this makes it very cumbersome to ever read or decipher what the HTML markup is. Does anyone know how to disable this automatic reformatting of HTML in

I'm putting asp server-controls into my SharePoint XSLT using SharePoint Designer. I've found it's really handy for pre-populating values into the form, or providing a different experience than the SharePoint defined layout (hidden fields, etc). For example, I can use a asp:TextBox control instead of the SharePoint:FormField control if I define it as such: <xsl:stylesheet ... xmlns:ddwrt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebParts/v2/DataView/runtime"> <xsl:param name="Name" /> <xsl:template match="/"> <!-- omitted for clarity --> <asp:TextBox id="txtName" runat="server" Text="{$Name}" __designer

I would like to display certain meta data fields in the edit form based on the value of a fields. Example: Users upload a document to the Doclib to be approved by there manager. They are allowed to change the meta data Name,Case No, Location until the item is approved by the manager. Once the item is approved I would like to set Name and Case Number to read only. What is the best way to meet this requirement? If approved = yes set Name and Case No = Read only Else do nothing. I have tried this method for about 5 hours. I believed this may be different for ModerationStatus. Might require

In Sharepoint designer's workflow editor I wish to retrieve the username/name of the work flow initiator (i.e. who kicked it off or triggered the workflow) - this is relatively easy to do using 3rd party products such as Nintex Workflow 2007 (where I would use something like {Common:Initiator}) - but I can't seem to find any way out of the box to do this using share point designer and MOSS 2007. Update It does not look like this rather obvious feature is supported OOTB, so I ended up writing a custom activity (as suggested by one of the answers). I have listed the activities code here for

How do you change the URI of a SharePoint library? Based on Google searching, most people say that changing the name of a library in Designer (via right click->rename) will result in the URI change, but it is only changing the name for me. I am using SharePoint 2010 Foundation and these are the steps I am following: In Designer, navigate to List and Libraries Right click library -> rename Notice that name changes Notice that URI does not change This is one of the resources I found claiming that this works: change URL spelling/case on sharepoint library In SharePoint Designer just navigate to
