Hi, I am new to SharePoint and I am trying to implement an employee birthday calendar on SharePoint using the web-part here https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-fx-webparts/tree/master/samples/react-birthdays. Following the instructions on the link, I have created a Birthdays list and have deployed the Birthday web part to SharePoint online, I am currently stuck at connecting the Birthdays list and the Birthday web part so that the web part can fetch the Birthdays data from the list. Any idea on the next step to take? I have surfed the internet and could not find anything helpful.Solved73KViews0likes70CommentsIs it possible to add a hyperlink to launch an Outlook template?
I have a request to enable clicking on an image on a SharePoint page and launching Outlook, preferably including that image in the email. Hopefully I'm explaining this clearly... so user would click on Image1, Outlook would open that includes Image1, then user can fill in the recipient and enter text in the email, then send. I tried creating a simple temple in Outlook and uploaded it to a SharePoint document library, then linked to it, but it didn't open Outlook, it just gave me the option to save the document. Has anyone had to do this? I'm attaching an example to help explain.62KViews0likes10CommentsAdding clickable Visio diagram to SharePoint page
I have a requirement to add a Visio diagram that contains links to SharePoint pages connected to the shapes in the diagram. How would I do that? I have no experience with Visio, and I found instructions on how to add hyperlinks to shapes, but I'm not having any luck finding out how to embed the clickable diagram on a SharePoint page. Is there a web part I can use, or is it more complicated than that?54KViews1like14CommentsPowershell error: Could not load file or assembly

I love the new SharePoint experiences with the new document library and the new list. It needs some work, but I can see the advantages. However, a lot of companies have customized the classic experience and tailord it to their needs. A lot of the customizations are unspported in the new model, at least for now and some will stay unspported. And it's not that we knew we were doing unsupported customizations, as some of these were advised through PnP. Which brings me to the question. What's the support timeline for classic mode? There have been several comments in the different networks, some by Microsoft people, that it's supported well into 2017. The new framework will most likely be released during Ignite in preview, with a final release at the end of this year. If you combine these two, the conclusion is, you have less than a year to fix all your unsupported customizations. Which kind of scares me, and my customers. And we can't even really prepare today as a lot of the details are not know yet. Like the provisioning aspect. And with that, InfoPath is supported till 2026 if you run onpremises. For Office365 this is 'until further notice'. I'm guessing that InfoPath will not work with these new experiences and thus will lose support when classic mode is not supported anymore. There has been a rumor that for Office365 support will stop a year after SharePoint 2016 is released. Am I the only one that worries about Microsofts intentions to support classic mode and the lack of a timeline and communication from Microsoft?Solved47KViews0likes24CommentsError - Local gulp not found in project directory while running a spfx sample application
Hi I need some help in running a sample SharePoint Framework project. It used to be so easy to develop in Visual Studio since you only had to write some code but VS took care of everything else to build your application from your code. In SPFX you have to manage so many different tools with different versions that sometime it becomes overwhelming. Here are the details of my environment. 1) Node.js v 8.11.4 2) spfx - 1.7.0 (Sample application) 3) gulp CLI version 2.0.1 (Global Install) I have done a "npm install" to install the dependencies for the project. However when I try to run the application, I get an error " Local gulp not found in project dir". Try running : npm install gulp. I tried the suggested command "npm install gulp" to do the local install of the gulp even though I have the global install of the gulp. This did not help. I looked at the node_modules in the VS code and I cannot decode it to understand if gulp is there in the local dependency list or not. I have tried google and everyone has a different suggestion to solve this problem. Nothing seems to help. If someone can give me a tip or share their experience, I will really appreciate it. Thanks in advance -ArunSolved36KViews0likes6CommentsConnect-PnPOnline -UseWebLogin fails, login window disappears
I downloaded the latest version of PnP PowerShell today but have had no success with Connect-PnPOnline (no problem using Connect-SPOService). I get the dreaded error "For security reasons DTD is prohibited in this XML document." I've researched this and tried all the fixes, like disabling IPv6 and pointing to Google DNS servers. I've also tried Windows and Generic Credentials, but these don't avoid the online authentication and get the same error. The most promising work-around appeared to be the -UseWebLogin option, but the window disappears. It's only up for a fraction of a second, which isn't long enough for me to read the single line of text there. Can anyone solve the case of the missing -UseWebLogin window? This is an Office 365 E3 tenant.Solved32KViews0likes18CommentsSharepoint framework spfx > get weburl
"In the old days" I would use something like: var url = _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl; To get the URL of my SharePoint site. Now I try to do the same thing in SPFX like: this.context.pageContext.site.absoluteUrl But the property "context" seems not to exist at all. Even if I run it within the $(document).ready. What I try to do is get the URL of a sharepoint site and create a query string from it to use in the search api.

I have a requirement from a customer that goes something like this: I need to be able to target content (think Announcements and News). So I am going down the User Profile Properties path and create Site Columns to tag the content and use the Content Search Web Part to rollup the information and match a user property value with the Site Column Value...Easy right..... Now, what if a user is a member of multiple departments let's say but the Department Profile Property only allows for a single value? I can create a new multi valued user property to hold multiple values in there and that should work.. Is there a way I can sync a custom Active Directory Attribute of users that hold muliple values with a Custom SharePoint User Profile Property? Has anyone implemented such a thing?30KViews0likes9Comments
