spcolor theming not rendering

June 7, 2013, 11:51 am

Hi, I'm a student web developer for University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire, and I've had an issue with my custom theme.

I've created a custom composed look. The links are all functional, and the composed look appears in the composed look gallery. My color scheme is automatically selected when I "Change the Look." My preview looks great, and I select "Try it out." However, the preview of my site in the new theme appears to be using one of the OOTB color schemes (albeit under my custom CSS branding). Sure enough, when I say "Yes, keep it" and am redirected to my home page, the color scheme is not the one I have specified for my composed look. ie hyperlink color, site header color etc are incorrect. I've made sure the .spcolor file is checked in and current, but this keeps happening.

Does anyone have ideas about this?

Workflow for Products and Quotes

I have a list in SP2013 for the Products we sell including cost, price, part number, and description. I have another list I am using for creating a quote that does a lookup on the product from the Product list.

However, I need to do some calculations and I realize you can't do that with lookup fields.

I need to add quantity, discount, tax, and other items to the quote list for the items. The end result or total will be a calculation of price, etc.

How can I use a workflow to copy the price from the product list to the quote list as a number so I can use it in calculations?

I'm a newbie and I tried several searches without any good results.

I have a potential client that is asking for a workflow solution in SharePoint 2013, along with InfoPath Forms. They would want to use 2010-style workflows.

Can this be done?  That is, can one use InfoPath Designer 2013 to create forms for 2010-style workflows in a SharePoint Server 2013 environment?

For that matter, could one use InfoPath Designer 2010  to create forms for SharePoint 2013 and 2010-style workflows?

SP2013 Customize Workflow Task Form with InfoPath 2013 - Unknown error occurred

Hi everyone,

After creating "Collect data from user" workflow using SharePoint designer, I need to customize the task form. But when I open the .xsn file (SharePoint generated), without editing anything (for testing purpose), and publish it, I got the message box: "An unknown error has occurred. The form template has been published to the server but it can only be opened in InfoPath Filler". I test the same scenario in SharePoint 2010, and it worked. It really annoys me.

No exception in the log file, and no solution after much searching around.

Please help.

Hi, 

I'm having problem recently when trying to publish a workflow from SPD2013. It shows:

I used to publish workflows from SPD2013 normally, this just happen after I restarted the server until now.

Any clue around this error? Kindly help me please... :)

Globally disappearing styles after page load

Hello everyone,

I just started working on preparing a design for a SharePoint 2013 Preview site and after a while after enabling the Publishing Feature on the site collection and web I started getting a very weird behaviour, for example the top blue bar disappears as in the following screenshot:

Missing top bar

It is happening both on normal Publishing site collections as well as other web apps (!). I can usually see the top blue bar being rendered but it seems to disappear after 1-3s (or when the page stops loading).

I didn't make any changes to files in the hive or altered any core CSS - and I am stuck without any idea on how to fix this issue. Any feedback/help would be greatly appreciated :)

SharePoint control's FieldName is showing a code instead of human readable name

Hello,

Setting: SharePoint Designer 2013 (32-bit) connected to SharePoint Online. Windows 7 (64-bit).

During editing of a custom layout in Advanced Editor, when I'm adding new SharePoint Control the "FieldName" is showing code instead of human readable name. And also "id" is missing.

Please check the code below. I believe "id" should be present and "FieldName" should be readable as it is in the top control (id="PageTitle") which was present on the page by default:

<asp:Content ContentPlaceholderID="PlaceHolderPageTitle" runat="server"><SharePointWebControls:FieldValue id="PageTitle" FieldName="Title" runat="server"/></asp:Content><asp:Content ContentPlaceholderID="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server"><SharePointWebControls:TextField FieldName="fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247" runat="server"></SharePointWebControls:TextField></asp:Content>

Second web control is the one which I added.

Thanks.

Future of InfoPath forms in SharePoint 2013

It seems that Microsoft is deprecating InfoPath forms in SP2013. From blogs and Web-cats it is clear that InfoPath forms working in SP2010 will be working fine in Sp2013 also. But in SP2013 do we have option to enhance, update the InfoPath forms or to do a new InfoPath form development.

Or shall we stop developing new InfoPath forms and rely on .aspx forms thru designer?

Workflow forms also has been changed from InfoPath to .aspx . And there is no noticeable enhancement in InfoPath 2010.

An unknown error has occurred. The form template has been published to the server but it can only be opened in infopath filler

I've created a SP2010 workflow in SP2013 and I want to edit the collect data / approval task workflow forms. Trying Quick Publish in InfoPath Designer results in the following error:

an unknown error has occurred.  The form template has been published to the server but it can only be opened in infopath filler

It's driving me mad.

I've found and tried the following workarounds:

- Increase execution time in web.config, restart IIS (didn't work)

- Use the highest privileged user (didn't work)

- Make sure no other users have the form checked out (didn't work)

- Re-register the workflow service (didn't work)

- Increase the ViewStateTreshold (didn't work)

I've also found this thread where somebody is claiming this simply cannot be done, but without official confirmation I find that hard to believe: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointcustomization/thread/42956f82-748f-487e-b9c3-5e0eec5d926d#42956f82-748f-487e-b9c3-5e0eec5d926d

Right now I've set InfoPath logging to Verbose. Here's a small dump of ULS containing the one and only error I could find:

Access Denied Using REST in SharePoint 2013 and InfoPath 2013 environment

So here is the story. I developed a simple application in InfoPath 2013 (saving as InfoPath 2010) and published to a SharePoint 2010 server. 

A major component to my form is the use of REST to query a SharePoint list. Everything works fine and dandy through the web browser within the SharePoint 2010 environment. Now that I have moved the source list to SharePoint 2013, saved the form as InfoPath 2013, reset the REST data connection, and published to SharePoint 2013, I get the following message on the Form Load. 

Warning

An error occurred querying a data source.
Click OK to resume filling out the form. You may want to check your form data for errors.

An entry has been added to the Windows event log of the server.
Log ID:5566
Correlation ID:116a259c-904c-d098-fc14-956c88240dd8

When I go to the Event Viewer, I see this......

InfoPath shows an error when using Visual Studio for C#

July 3, 2013, 2:30 pm

Good day, 

I've got a quite simple Document Information Panel form, created in InfoPath 2013 and to be used in Word. I need to perform a calculation on one of the fields, written in C# using Visual Studio. That shouldn't be any problem since InfoPath has a Developer tab with Visual Studio integration. The thing is, it just doesn't work. Even when I just click on "On After Change event" button and Visual Studio generates an empty function for me, it already produces an error when using the form. Because I didn't add any code yet, it's 100% sure the error is not as result of my custom code.

It's even weirder. When I create a new empty form, just add a button, and add a skeleton code (an empty function), it won't work. It just gives a generic error message (see below). Perhaps I'm missing a simple step, like compiling or something like that. Right now I just save and publish the InfoPath form, and boom, the error appears when opening the form.

The error message is: "Document Information Panel cannot open a new form.
The form cannot be opened. To fix this problem, contact the form designer.
Form template: https://mysite.sharepoint.com/_cts/documents/e7d9d2651713b7f2customXsn.xsn
Document Information Panel cannot open the selected form because of an error in the form's code.
Error in the application."

I tried:
- Setting the Sharepoint site as Trusted within Internet Explorer;
- Set the InfoPath on full trust instead of automatically;
- Updated Visual Studio 2013;
- Tried it with an empty form.

I'm using Sharepoint 365 and Office 2013.

I hope I gave enough information. If anything is missing, please ask. Thank you very much,

I am getting the following error when publishing a SharePoint 2013 Designer workflow with 7 task processes.  I ran into this problem in 2010 and fixed it with the following PowerShell.  It doesn't seem to do any good with my 2013 workflow. 

Error:

Microsoft.Workflow.Client.ActivityValidationException: Workflow XAML failed validation due to the following errors: Activity 'DynamicActivity' has 62 arguments, which exceeds the maximum number of arguments per activity (50).

2010 PowerShell:

$app = get-spwebapplication https://thesite
$app.UserDefinedWorkflowMaximumComplexity = 20000 #Default is 7000
$app.Update()

I have looked at the 2013 PowerShell commands listed here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee906558.aspx but they don't seem to have any settings that are even close. 

I really don't want to have nested workflows that start each other.  This has to be a setting I can flip somewhere.
