Ever had this issue on SharePoint Online? "This view cannot be displayed because it exceeds the list view threshold (5000 items) enforced by the administrator."  "To view items, try selecting another view or creating a new view. If you do not have sufficient permissions to create views for this list, ask your administrator to modify the view so that it conforms to the list view threshold." Well I have, and it sucks. My particular issue was that someone had uploaded 120,000 files to a document library, which they then wanted to add metadata to, however, being a bulk upload, they weren't adding it as they were going, so in turn, any sorting/filtering of such a large bank of files let to the famous error above. Of course you can't bypass the LVT (list view threshold), but as we all (should!) know, is that once you have added metadata, you can do things to avoid it. My solution to this issue is not quick, but it worked.  I created a view showing only...

So you're building a website for someone, and you've bought the domain name and found a nice reliable company to host it.  Nice work.  Now what? There is a plethora of options out there, so to save you a little bit of time, here's the solution I went with that is pretty ace. Firstly, there were a few prerequisites that I needed to tick off.  The site had to: Be Responsive (look sexy on all devices) Be Free (client was a low budget business and it wasn't worth paying for templates, etc) Have a shopping cart system Sit on a CMS (Content Management System - so the client could update content themselves) Be easy to navigate and manage Here's the setup I decided upon which works a treat: CMS: WordPress Shopping Cart Plugin: WooCommerce Shopping Cart Add-in: Weight-Based Shipping (For basing shipping cost on weight of bundled items) WooCommerce Theme: Travelify Installing each of these is an absolute breeze, and within 10 minutes the site w...

Follow the guide here by Supa, there's not much to it: http://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/newbie-guide-to-freenas-plex-couchpotato-sickbeard-and-transmission.19043/ For the linux noobs like myself, these are the two steps you need to complete in order to set up Transmission so that any files it downloads are read/writeable by all users. Go to your jails tab again and enter into the Transmission Command-Line Shell: Type: edit /usr/pbi/transmission-amd64/etc/transmission/home/settings.json and just change the field unmask to "unmask = 0". Once finished, hit esc, leave, and save the changes. If your settings.json file is not located there you will need to go back to Freenas and click on Plugins > Transmission on the sidebar and review the location of configuration directory.  Then you can input that into the Command Line. On newer versions of Transmission the setting Unmask has been renamed to Umask.

Came across an issue today with an InfoPath form I am working on. In the form there is a Repeating Table that contains within it both String and Boolean Fields. In order to make the form prettier we have created custom buttons to add a row to the Repeating Table.  These button use an XMLWriter to add a new row. For any new fields (String or Boolean) the writer does the following to create a blank Field: writer.WriteElementString("fieldname", myNamespace, ""); The problem I had was that if you created Boolean fields like the line above, and then tried to Submit the form to SharePoint, you receive a validation error "Some rules were not applied.  InfoPath cannot submit the form" Turns out the Boolean Fields were failing to validate with the empty string value.   This was solved by putting in a value that isn't used in the form for the Boolean Field: writer.WriteElementString("fieldname", myNamespace, " 0 ...

Most people can't find the 'Export to Spreadsheet' option from the Action drop-down menu due to not being on the Overview.aspx page. But if you've modified the Overview page via SharePoint Designer, then you've probably lost the Overview menu completely The solution is to create a New List View via SharePoint Designer and set it as Default (crucial!). Done. If you don't set the new view as the default page, then the Export option will still be missing.

Select a square using Marquee tool Select > Modify > Smooth Choose radius on the corners I've always been frustrated with the damn Feather option (right click your selected square > Feather) not making a hard corner. Thank you - http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/photoshop/shapes/rounded-corners.html
