Create new default page for New or Edit or Display Item in SharePoint List

If you know how to do it, do it; if not, then please don’t.

Any mess here with SPD and creating new pages for existing lists, while you never know or never tried and it is your first time, then practice first in a test environment, either wise you will break the list and I know it so I am telling you here first as advice and at the end it is up to you.

So here I am showing you how to create new default page for “New Item” in SharePoint List, open SPD and choose your list, in this settings page in SPD as below, there is a section called “Forms” where it has 3 pages:

“DispFrom.aspx”: Display form, just to view the item.

“EditForm.aspx”: to edit the item

“NewForm.aspx”: to create new item.

Click the New button on top right of the Forms box, and it will be open new window “Create New List Form”

Here it asks you, what is the type of this form: which is 3 pages, and you choose if it is the default or not.

Once you are done, go to your list via browser, and click new item, since it pop-up the page, right click and check properties, you should see the page you created.

Now you can do changes to this new page created, which I advised previously to watch out while you are doing so.

Good Luck.

Windows Server 2012 does not support SharePoint 2010, for Now !

Updates: since Microsoft announced about Service Pack 2 for SharePoint 2010, it is now supported on Windows Server 2012, read more here: http://maiomardesouki.com/2013/07/24/now-sp-2-supports-sharepoint-2010-to-run-on-windows-2012/

Yes for now, I believe it will be supported but let’s wait nothing is sure cause now Microsoft said it is not supported with 3 issues.

fortunately Tom Van Gaever solved issue 3. Let me speak with articles I read and saved to share with you.

• Microsoft article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2724471
  • Issue 1: The SharePoint 2010 installation process fails.

    I think here we need to look at log to get details for the failure.

  • Issue 2: The SharePoint 2010 prerequisite installer (PrerequisiteInstaller.exe) fails, and you receive the following error message: This program has compatibility issues
  • Issue 3: When you try to start the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell, you receive the following error message: The Local farm is not accessible. Cmdlets with FeatureDependencyId are not registered. Additionally, when you try to run PowerShell cmdlets for SharePoint Server 2010, you receive the following error message: Microsoft SharePoint is not supported with version 4.0.xxxxx.xxxxx of the Microsoft .Net Runtime.
    • Solution for issue 3: http://tomvangaever.be/blogv2/2012/07/sharepoint-2010-server-2012-and-powershell-3-microsoft-sharepoint-is-not-supported-with-version-4-0-30319-17626-of-the-microsoft-net-runtime/

That’s why I am saying lets wait to see what happens if Microsoft released SP3 for SharePoint 2010 then may be it will be supported and without issues to install on Windows Server 2012 as said here too: http://www.danielbrown.id.au/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=111

Thanks Daniel Brown and Thanks Tom Van Gaever

I haven’t tried it yet, what I tried is Installing SharePoint 2013 on Windows Server 2012, which is definitely works perfect, I will try this on weekend and update this post, save this URL in your favorites and check by next week, I will try on my weekend.

See you next week with updates..

SharePoint 2013 on iPad & iPhone

Tags

iPad, IPhone, Microsoft, Microsoft SharePoint, SharePoint 2013

Does sharepoint 2013 support iPad? That was a question in the Forums http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointdevpreview/thread/8f595df1-b137-4bf0-87d0-6bb06356fc9d which I replied that I will provide screen shots of how SharePoint 2013 look like on iPad in addition to iPhone and some info as well.

SharePoint 2013 UI is written in HTML5, and in addition to the standard client support options, full support is also planned for the Safari browser on the Apple iPad. Users can browse, contribute and edit documents directly from iPads. There is also a new Channels capability which allows easy mapping of pages and web parts to devices, allowing the experience to be tailored for different devices. The vast majority of organizations have iPads in their ecosystem and are considering mobile experiences for web content. These capabilities are a huge benefit for mobile access, and in many cases they eliminate the need for complex development or the use (and additional cost) of third party applications.

I think that native iOS support will be a key driver for organizations considering moving quickly to upgrade from SharePoint 2010 to the new version.

Below you will see I switched to PC view for better UI, used here Custom List, and created new item, best part is that I created a word document from Documents Library, and was able to create, edit and save the document all from my iPad which is really good.
