Sharepoint 2013 Dropdown list populated from another sharepoint list

This is my solution to dynamically fill a filter dropdown list based on another sharepoint list field

1- Define a folder to place javascript files. I used the following path:
"~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/"

2- Upload the following files to the location you defined on step 1. Use the import files button on your sharepoint designer.

File 1: the jquery library.
File 2: the jquery SP Service library. 
File 3: The custom code for the dropdown list

3 - Use the designer to edit the default list form for New Item (in this case nx.aspx)

4 - Add the following references to forms design. 

<SharePoint:ScriptLink ID="jquery" runat="server" LoadAfterUI="True" Name="~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/jquery-1.12.3.js"/>

<SharePoint:ScriptLink ID="spservices" runat="server" LoadAfterUI="True" Name="~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/jquery.SPServices-2014.02.js"/>
 
<SharePoint:ScriptLink ID="trsp" runat="server" LoadAfterUI="True" Name="~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/CostumDropdown.js"/>

Note that you should update the path if you uploaded the scripts into a different path.

 A good place for you to drop this lines of code is before the form table. Search for <Sharepoint:FormField and FieldName=the first field of your form. Paste the lines before the first <tr> as shown above.

5 - Identify the html element id of the field you wish to apply your dropdown list

6 - Using the Sharepoint designer Edit the custom javascript (file 3 uploaded on step 2).

$(document).ready(function(){
    add_dropdown("lista1", "ctl00_ctl26_g_928acec0_5b91_4790_a300_9119e1116afe_ff21_ctl00_ctl00_TextField","http://w2012sharep/sites/ETN/Contactos/","Contactos",  "Company" );
});

You only need to update the entry parameters for add_dropdown function:
1 - Name of the list (must be different for each dropdown)
2 - Element id you have reached in step 5.
3 - URL where the source of your dropdown list is.
4 - Name of the sharepoint list
5 - Name of the field on the source list


To add a new dropdown just copy the call for the function
$(document).ready(function(){
    add_dropdown("lista1", "ctl00_ctl26_g_928acec0_5b91_4790_a300_9119e1116afe_ff21_ctl00_ctl00_TextField","http://w2012sharep/sites/ETN/Contactos/","Contactos",  "Company" );

    add_dropdown("lista2", "ctl00_ctl26_g_928acec0_5b91_4790_a300_9119e1116afe_ff21_ctl00_ctl00_TextField","http://w2012sharep/sites/ETN/Contactos/","Contactos",  "Phone" );

});



And your set to go.

Sharepoint - Set current user to a form field as a default value

This is my solution to set the current user as a default value of a Sharepoint 2013 form field.

1- Define a folder to place javascript files. I used the following path:
"~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/"

2- Upload the following files to the location you defined on step 1. Use the import files button on your sharepoint designer.

File 1: the jquery library.
File 2: the jquery SP Service library.
File 3: the custom javascript for the field you want to update.


Edit the file 3 in sharepoint designer after import (or in another editor before import) and replace 'Req' by the name of your field name in the list:
var fieldName = 'Req';

3 - Use the designer to edit the default list form for New Item (in this case nx.aspx)

4 - Add the following references to forms design. 

<SharePoint:ScriptLink ID="jquery" runat="server" LoadAfterUI="True" Name="~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/jquery-1.12.3.js"/>

<SharePoint:ScriptLink ID="spservices" runat="server" LoadAfterUI="True" Name="~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/jquery.SPServices-2014.02.js"/>
 
<SharePoint:ScriptLink ID="trsp" runat="server" LoadAfterUI="True" Name="~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/trsp.js"/>

Note that you shloud update the path if you uploaded the scripts into a different path.

 A good place for you to drop this lines of code is before the form table. Search for <Sharepoint:FormField and FieldName=the first field of your form. Paste the lines before the first <tr> as shown above.


5 - Disable minimum download strategy

If you try to run your form you will experience that the code works just sometimes and not every time. You should disable minimum download strategy feature. To do this go to site settings, manage site features and disable it.

And we are done!
Here is my sample on field "Req"

sudo apt-get install skype - will install popular skype for instant messaging and video calls
sudo apt-get install chrome-browser - will install Google Chrome Browser

Disable cache for file/table in Infor Lawson M3

Problem Environment: Infor Lawson M3 Java 

In Infor Lawson M3 Java uses cache. This is great to improve performance but may cause some issues. There are several reasons for you to want to disable cache on a file/table. For instance a service that updates data from an outside environment. Of course Infor Lawson does not subscribe some methods. This is understandable because external interference can cause great damage. But if you know what to do and need to disable cache here is how to do it:

1. Open a file in you environment folder \env\[environment]\properties\mvx\res\Transaction.properties with notepad.
2. You should find a line with this "transaction.cache.readonly.count=5". Increase this number by adding the number of tables you want to disable cache.
3. Next on the file you should find "transaction.cache.readonly.4=-DDOCUX". Add one entry for each file you want to disable. Don't forget to increase the number as in ".4" for each file.
4. Save the changes.
5. Shutdown environment.
6. Start environment.
