Hi I am completely new to Sharepoint and wiki pages. I manage to do few changes to wiki pages to have a feel of it. I noticed that every time i create a link to a document if the version changes i need to update the link manually by editing it. Is there any way to automate this process?
Eg: Docv1.0.doc is updated to Docv2.0
Thanks
When you change a document, you don't need to change the file name. SharePoint has versioning built in, so you can keep the file name the same.
That's the only solution actually, don't change the filename. Enable versioning on the library to be able to see previous versions.
Sharepoint site has several links to templates and documents that points to a shared server and these documents can be updated as new versions, so the links to this files needs to be updated automatically, in fact these links need to call some script for dynamically linking them to the latest files. (not sure if a better way of doing this without a script). Here is what I could manage to do, a better and other options to achieve will be appreciated.
I manage to get something working using webparts Content Editor and linking it to a file. Not sure if this the only/best approached for Sharepoint 2007
<script type="text/javascript">
function getLatestFile(){
var myObject;
var recent = "";
myObject = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var folderObj = myObject.GetFolder("C:\Test");
var fc = new Enumerator(folderObj.files);
for(var objEnum = new Enumerator(FileCollection); !objEnum.atEnd(); objEnum.moveNext()) {
If (recentFile = ""){
recentFile = file;
else if (file.DateLastModified > recentFile.DateLastModified){
recentFile = file;
}
}
}//for loop
alert("recentFile : " + recentFile);
var mylink = document.getElementById("myLink");
mylink.setAttribute("href", urlToFile);
mylink.click();
}
</script>
<P> </P><A id="myLink" onclick="getUrl();"> TestFile1 </A>

I am new to InDesign scripting though I do have experience with Javascript.
I created a new menu item as you will see in the script below, which I planned to use it to call another script onclick. However I am facing some issues, so I decided to delete the menu item and start over. But at line 10, I get the message "undefined is not an object", which I can't figure out why it's causing a problem.
Any help will be appreciated.
//#targetengine "ImportFolder"
//var myMainMenu = app.menus.item("Main");
//var myCustomMenu = myMainMenu.submenus.item("Import Folder");
//var myCustomMenu = myMainMenu.submenus.add("Import Folder");
//var mySampleScriptAction = app.scriptMenuActions.add("onInvoke", function() {
//app.doScript(new File ("/C/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe InDesign CS6/Scripts/Scripts Panel/importFiles.jsx" ));});
//delete the menu
var myMainMenu = app.menus.item("Main");
try{
var myCustomMenu = myMainMenu.submenus.item("Import Folder");
myCustomMenu.remove();
}catch(myError){}
Try re-installing Indesign. If the scripting library dll lost its registration, it could cause all of the scripts to fail.
...wait a minute - are you trying to use this script from the Extendscript Toolkit? If you are, you have to change engines.
Also, if you have more than one version of CS on your system, you need to make sure you use the Extendscript Toolkit that matches the version of your InDesign - in other words, EXTK CS6 for IND CS6.
Another thing to try is to remove the new from your doscript command. I like to wrap mine in a function like this:
//run a script from the CS6 Script Panel Directory (be sure to add the file extension
function RunMyScript(whatscriptname){
app.doScript(File("/C/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe InDesign CS6/Scripts/Scripts Panel/" + whatscriptname));
}
I'm trying to load a variable from a file using javascript. I've found some examples but I can't seem to make it work and could really use some help on getting my syntax right.
Basically, I want to load a random ad image on a page, but I would like the list of ads to be pulled from a file. Currently I'm loading the images using the following script which I found on the internet:
<script type="text/javascript">
var picPaths = [
'/images/ad-1.jpg',
'/images/ad-2.jpg',
'/images/ad-3.jpg',
'/images/ad-4.jpg'
]
var oPics = [];
for(i=0; i < picPaths.length; i++){
oPics[i] = new Image();
oPics[i].src = picPaths[i];
}
curPic = Math.floor(Math.random()*oPics.length);
window.onload=function(){
document.getElementById('imgRotator').src = oPics[curPic].src;
}
</script>
I have been trying to get the picPath variable value to load from a file (instead of stating it in the code). I found some code here on stackoverflow and tried adjusted it to the following:
var picPaths = new XMLHttpRequest();
picPaths.open('GET', '/images/liveimages.inc');
picPaths.send();
I also created the file /images/liveimages.inc which containts the following:
'/images/ad-1.jpg',
'/images/ad-2.jpg',
'/images/ad-3.jpg',
'/images/ad-4.jpg'
But, alas, it’s not working and I’m not programmer enough to fix it. :-( I'm thinking my syntax is off but my code could be off too since I am not a JavaScript guy.
Any help would be appreciated and thanks for taking the time to read (and respond) to my question! :-D
If you store the data file as JSON you can use AJAX/XMLHTTPRequest to fetch it, and JSON.parse (available in all modern browsers) to read it.
An easier way perhaps is just to have a script that contains just the data, like:
var picPaths = [
'/images/ad-1.jpg',
'/images/ad-2.jpg',
'/images/ad-3.jpg',
'/images/ad-4.jpg'
];
And then include your scripts in the correct order:
<script type="text/javascript" src="picpaths.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ad_script.js"></script>
ad_script.js will be able to access picPaths.
You could have some server-side script generate picpaths.js for you, for instance by looking at the contents of a folder or a database and pulling the ad info from that.
Can someone tell me if there is any jquery plugin to dynamically create .ics file with values coming from the page div values like there would be
<div class="start-time">9:30am</div>
<div class="end-time">10:30am</div>
<div class="Location">California</div>
or javascript way to dynamically create an .ics file? I basically need to create .ics file and pull these values using javascript or jquery? and link that created ics file to "ADD TO CALENDAR" link so it gets added to outlook?
you will need to make it in ICS format. also you will need to convert the date and time zone; E.G. 20120315T170000Z or yyyymmddThhmmssZ
msgData1 = $('.start-time').text();
msgData2 = $('.end-time').text();
msgData3 = $('.Location').text();
var icsMSG = "BEGIN:VCALENDAR\nVERSION:2.0\nPRODID:-//Our Company//NONSGML v1.0//EN\nBEGIN:VEVENT\nUID:me#google.com\nDTSTAMP:20120315T170000Z\nATTENDEE;CN=My Self ;RSVP=TRUE:MAILTO:me#gmail.com\nORGANIZER;CN=Me:MAILTO::me#gmail.com\nDTSTART:" + msgData1 +"\nDTEND:" + msgData2 +"\nLOCATION:" + msgData3 + "\nSUMMARY:Our Meeting Office\nEND:VEVENT\nEND:VCALENDAR";
$('.test').click(function(){
window.open( "data:text/calendar;charset=utf8," + escape(icsMSG));
});
the above sample will create a ics file for download. the user will have to open it and outlock, iCal, or google calendar will do the rest.
This is an old question, but I have some ideas that could get you started (or anyone else who needs to do a similar task).
And the JavaScript to create the file content, and open the file:
var filedata = $('.start-time, .end-time, .Location').text();
window.open( "data:text/calendar;charset=utf8," + escape( filedata ) );
Presumably you'd want to add that code to the onclick event of a form button.
I don't have Outlook handy, so I'm not sure if it will automatically recognize the filetype, but it might.
Hope this helps.
From what I have found online and on this site, it is not possible to get this to work in IE as you need to include certain headers to let IE know to download this file.
The window.open method works for Chrome and Firefox but not IE so you may need to restructure your code to use a server-side language to generate and download the ICS file.
More can be found in this question
While this is an older question, I have been looking for a front-end solution as well. I recently stumbled across the
ICS.js library which looks like the answer you're looking for.
This approach worked fine however with IE8 the browser couldn't recognize the file type and refused to open as a calendar item. To get around this i had to create the code on the server side (and exposed via RESTful service) and then set the response headers as follows;
#GET
#Path("generateCalendar/{alias}/{start}/{end}")
#Produces({ "text/v-calendar" })
public Response generateCalendar(
#QueryParam("alias") final String argAlias,
#QueryParam("start") final String argStart,
#QueryParam("end") final String argEnd) {
ResponseBuilder builder = Response.ok();
builder.header("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=calendar.ics");
builder.entity("BEGIN:VCALENDAR\n<........insert meeting details here......>:VCALENDAR");
return builder.build();
}
This can be served up by calling window.location on the service URL and works on Chrome, Firefox and IE8.
Hope this helps.
I am creating a webapp and I have been using tag in my JSPs to ensure that all my links (both to pages and to resources such as images/css) are always consistent from the root of the application, and not relative to my current location.
Some of the content I am creating using jQuery, for example, I am creating a HTML table by parsing a JSON object and using jquery.append() to insert it in to a div.
My question is, if I want to dynamically create a link using jquery how can I achieve a consistent URL regardless of the page being executed? I have tried just building the html with the tag in it, but no joy.
Thanks!
var baseURL = "/* Server-side JSP code that sets the base URL */";
$("<a />", { href: baseURL+"/my/resource/here.jsp" }); //Your proper link
Or you could do:
var baseURL = "http://"+location.host+"/my/base/url/";
//Which gives you something like http://mySite.com/my/base/url/
Get the root value of your webapp into a string using a jsp tag inside your javascript.
var root = < %=myRootVariable%> //This evaluates to http://www.myapp.com
var dynamicBit = "/foo/bar"
var dynamicLinkUrl = root + dynamicBit
var $newa = $("Hello, world");
$someJQElement.append($newa)
Hopefully none of this will occur in the global namespace. Just sayin'
How do I get the absolute or site-relative path for an included javascript file.
I know this can be done in PHP, (__file__, I think). Even for an included page, one can check the path (to the included file). Is there any way to have this self awareness in Javascript?
I know I can can get the page URL, but need to get the JS URL.
Eg. Javascript needs to modify the src of an image on the page. I know where the image is relative to the JavaScript file. I don't know where the Javascript is relative to the page.
<body>
<img id="img0" src="">
<script src="js/imgMaker/myscript.js"></script>
</body>
function fixPath(){
$$("#img0")[0].set('src','js/imgMaker/images/main.jpg');
}
Please do not tell me to restructure my function - the example is simplified to explain the need.
In the actual case, a Mootools class is being distributed and people can put it into whatever folder they want.
I would just read the src of the script element, but the class can be part of any number of javascript files, so I can't know what the element looks like.
JavaScript (not JScript) has no concept of file names. It was developed for Netscape back in the days. Therefore there is no __file__ feature or anything similar.
The closest you can come are these two possibilities:
What you already mentioned: Harvest all src attributes of all JS files and try to figure out which one is the right.
Make it a necessary option, that the path to the images must be set in the embedding HTML file. If not set, use a reasonable and well-documented default:
<script type="text/javascript">
var options = {
'path_to_images': '/static/images/' // defaults to '/js/img/'
};
</script>
Based on http://ejohn.org/blog/file-in-javascript/
(function(){
this.__defineGetter__("__FILE__", function() {
return (new Error).stack.split("\n")[2].split("#")[1].split(":").slice(0,-1).join(":");
});
})();
(function(){
this.__defineGetter__("__DIR__", function() {
return __FILE__.substring(0, __FILE__.lastIndexOf('/'));
});
})();
Then later
img.setAttribute('src', __DIR__ + '/' + file);
if you have folders:
/webroot
/images
/scripts
Then images would be an absolute path of /images/whatever.jpg and scripts would be an absolute path of /scripts/js.js
I'm using the following method to get the base URL and using it for loading the other prorotypes, maybe this is what you need. Lets say current script name is 'clone.js'.
/*
* get the base URL using current script
*/
var baseURL = '';
var myName = 'clone.js';
var myPattern = /(^|[\/\\])clone\.js(\?|$)/;
var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName("script");
for (var i = 0; i < scripts.length; i++) {
var src;
if (src = scripts[i].getAttribute("src")) {
if (src.match(myPattern)) {
baseURL = src.replace(myName, '');
break;
}
}
}
Var baseURL should contain what you need.
The path to the JS is irrelevant; links in the HTML file are always relative to the HTML file, even if you modify them from external JS.
[EDIT] If you need to build a path relative to the current web page, you can find its path in document.location.pathname. This path is relative to the web root but you should be able to find a known subpath and then work from there.
For example, for this page, it pathname would be /posts/1858724. You can look for posts and then build a relative path from there (for example posts/../images/smiley.png)
I know this question was asked awhile back but I have a similar situation to Sam's.
In my case, I have two reasons for the situation:
The user can access different sub-domains, each with its own index page.
The user can enter a password that causes index.php to adjust the paths.
Most of the references point to the same src locations for the scripts, but some do not. For instance, those at a different level of the tree would require a different path.
I addressed it by assigning an id to the index page's script tag. For example, the head might include...
<script id='scriptLocation' type='text/javascript' language='javascript' src='../scripts.test/script.js'></script>
My JavaScript is then able to read the path...
var myPath = document.getElementById("scriptLocation").src;
Found another approach, perhaps someone with more JS ninja can flush this out.
CSS stylesheet are able to find the node that called them using document.stylesheets.ownernode.
I could not find a similar call for javascript files.
But, in some cases, if one can include a CSS file together with the javascript, and give the first rule some unique identifier.
One can loop through all stylesheets till they find the one with the identifier [if(document.stylsheets[i].cssRules[0] == thisIs:myCSS)], than use ownerNode to get the path of that file, and assume the same for the JS.
Convoluted and not very useful, but its another approach - might trigger a better idea by someone.
