Set up permission level to run JQUERY from webpart

If you plan to use webpart with Jquery u have to use Contribute permissions. If less privileged permissions are used, no information will be displayed.

I discovered that there is no need for whole Contribute permissions level. There is one permission responsible for this - Update Personal Web Parts - Update Web Parts to display personalized information. 

So we can create new permission level (make a copy of Read level) and add this permission.

An internal database error occurred in the Business Data Connectivity Shared service (BDC)

Firstly i want to say that i run across on this error not quite (as i thought) relating to BDC.. but:

My initial goal was simple - create some custom list in SP2010 with Lookup (information already on this site) fields. When i tried to do that i got following message:


So.. BDC service is related with creating Lookup type fields in SharePoint. Time ago we moved our SharePoint databases to new SQL server, but we didn't move our BDC db.. so i started to realize where is the problem. I have to create new BDC service application with new db in our new sql server + delete old BDC application (relationships), point my web application to new BDC service application.

I looked in SP Central Adminstration page for Service Applications (Application management -> Manage Service Applications).

1. Deleted old BDC application.
2. Created new BDC.
3. Point web application to new BDC (Application management -> Service Applications -> Service Application Associations)
4. IISRESET


But unfortuneatlly when i tried to create Lookup field i got new error saying:
Entity (External Content Type) cannot be found with Namespace = '', Name = 'New external content Type'

Solution:

Previously i had some (With old BDC application) External Lists with custom external content types in them, so when we are creating Lookup fields, SharePoitn is looking for those content types and they didn't exist any more, so i DELETED THOSE OLD EXTERNAL LISTS.

This item is no longer available. It may have been deleted by another user

There are many articles about this SharePoint error message: "This item is no longer available. It may have been deleted by another user"

Mike Smith's Tech Training Notes and
http://girishm.blog.com/2010/07/11/this-item-is-no-longer-available-it-may-have-been-deleted-by-another-user-click-ok-to-refresh-the-page/

These solutions didn't work for me!
IN MY CASE I SIMPLY DELETE INTERNET TEMPORARY FILES & COOKIES!!!

How to get all SharePoint Users with web services in c#


SPservice.UserGroup usergroup = new SPservice.UserGroup();
usergroup.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

XmlNode allusers = usergroup.GetAllUserCollectionFromWeb();

foreach (XmlNode child in allusers.ChildNodes) {
                            foreach (XmlNode item in child) {
                                  foreach (XmlAttribute atr in item.Attributes) {
                                              if (atr.Name.ToString() == "LoginName") {
                                              MessageBox.Show(atr.OuterXml);
                                              }

So here we go

Sharepoint Query with SPAPI

1. To use SPAPI query download it from HERE!!!.
2. On SharePoint server under "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS" create folder "SPAPI".
3. Place extracted js files from download to this folder.
4. Put your query within these code lines: 


<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/SPAPI/SPAPI_Core.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/SPAPI/SPAPI_Lists.js"></script>

SharePoint Workflow does not start automatically (kb947284)

I was able to start my workflow automatically which I created through SharePoint Designer. 

Firstly I checked out instructions from this article kb947284. In my case regarding to kb947284 I was logged in with "System Account". So I took some other user from sharepoint member group and logged back in, but with no luck...

After hours of endless searching i came across to something like this: "If I browse my sharepoint web page with IP address instead of hostname automatic workflows wouldn't start!!!"

Get current SharePoint User with JavaScript

During the SharePoint form customization in many cases it is important to know the current user. So with JavaScript and SharePoint Designer this is how it's done:

var loginElement = document.getElementById("zz7_Menu").innerHTML;
var end = loginElement.indexOf("<");
var nameOnly = loginElement.substring(8, end);

note: I use this script in MOSS2007, but if you use this in WSS3 change "zz7_Menu" to "zz6_Menu".

My whole point using this script was to get the current username (in my case organization username format is: username14, username57 etc.) And based on that I need to get only numbers from this username. So there is my complete solution:

var loginElement = document.getElementById("zz7_Menu").innerHTML;
var end = loginElement.indexOf("<");
var nameOnly = loginElement.substring(8, end);
var number = nameOnly.replace (/[^\d]/g, "");
var k;

if (number != "") {
var elements = document.getElementsByTagName('select');
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
if (elements[i].title == 'YOUR DROPDOWN TITLE'){
var sel = elements[i].options.selectedIndex = number;
for (k=elements[i].options.length-1;k>=0;k--) {
if (k != sel) {
elements[i].remove(k);
        }
      }
    }
  }

}
