Error in SharePoint Designer when converting to XSL

I am not a programmer, nor do I know any coding languages.  I have a slightly above average understanding of how writing code works, so please keep that in mind when responding.... 

I am using a list in SharePoint; when the list is updated, I want to display "UPDATED w/ Date and Time".  I cannot figure out how to display the Local Afghanistan time vice UTC or Zulu time. I am trying to figure out what to add in to change the time displayed +4:30 hours.  I am currently using the following code in XSLT with SharePoint Designer:

<xsl:if test="ddwrt:FormatDate(string(@Modified), number(1033), 1)=ddwrt:FormatDate(ddwrt:TodayIso(), number(1033), 1)">

   <xsl:if test="ddwrt:FormatDate(string(@Modified), number(1033), 1)!=ddwrt:FormatDate(string(@Created), number(1033), 1)">

   <Span style="background-color:maroon;color:white">UPDATED <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="no" select="@Modified" /></span>

   </xsl:if>

(/xsl:if>

The data source control failed to execute the insert command.

plz help?

In terms of high-level requirements, I need to pull in lists from a couple of different web apps.  To do this, I’m using SPD 2010 to create an External Content Type for the list of interest.  I’m able to create a SOAP Service or WCF Service connection just fine.  However, when I try to create the external content type and create a Read Item Operation on one of the GetList or any other Get* (or other Update methods for that matter) methods, I get the following error:"The method that your operation is based on has parameters with complex types that do not have default parameterless constructor.  This kind of data source methods cannot be used in Business Data Catalog."I tried defining an operation on the “AddAttachment” method, and that worked just fine.  I also tried providing default values to the listName and viewName parameters when creating the SOAP Service connection, but still get the error.  Same issue with a WCF Service connection as well. Does anyone know if this is a 2010 issue, or am I approaching this requirement incorrectly?  What are other approaches for connecting to lists that reside in a different web app than yours? 

When attempting to customize OOTB Approval Workflow, message "Workflow is read only?"  Request copy errors with "Server could not complete your request" Details button produces blank.  Any clue?  I am the site collection administrator for the site and the secondary farm administrator.

I am creating a multistep workflow with multiple Approval steps.  When I get to step 7 or the 7th Approval step and try to publish it, it states that "Errors were found when compiling the workflow.  The workflow files were saved but cannot be run."  With "Unexpected error on server associating the workflow" in the advanced section.  This same error occurs at other stages of the approvals as well.  If I put another process/action in the step, the workflow runs without any problem.  Thanks for the help!

The company I am employed by has been running SharePoint 2010 successfully for several months now. Recently when anyone attempts to edit our main site using SharePoint designer they are prevented from doing so an given the following error message: "Server Error: The version of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation running on the server is more recent than the version of SharePoint Designer you are using. You need a more recent version of SharePoint Designer". We are running the most recent version that we can find available for download from Microsoft. The server administrator has attempted to roll back the most recent patches / updates to SP Foundation, rebooted the site collection, tried a fresh install of Designer and other obvious common solutions to no avail.

This is a massive impediment to our continued development of this product. How do we resolve this problem?

 

We have a custom list definition that includes custom site columns.  When we try to open one of the list view aspx pages in SharePoint to update the view query we get an error when trying to save the page in SharePoint Designer 2007.  We receive a warning that the operation will customize the page from the site definition, which is fine.  And then get a general "Server error: ServiceRequestorID" alert.  ServiceRequestorID is a custom site column used by the list definition.

ServiceRequestorID field definition:

<Field ID="{FA39D24D-AB40-4b1d-BD80-94ABE34A7578}" Name="ServiceRequestorID" DisplayName="Service Requestor ID" StaticName="

one note? i can connect great via my web server (remote desktop/locally on server) but not from my laptop from my desk.

I am trying to create an external content type using Sharepoint Designer 2010. I ran SD on my local machine and connected to a site on some other machine running Sharepoint Server 2010. The Db on which I want to create my ECT resides on my local machine. When I try to use User Identity to connect to my local Db server, it gives me the error that login failed for user <my domain username>. I have both sql server and windows authentication mode login enabled on my sql server. Any help in this regard is appreciated.

Hi all, I'll provide a little background detail in the hope that maybe I'm approaching the task the wrong way or my  method is better done via other ways?

I work in a education establishement, we already have our branding on the 2003 version and having recently seen some of the impressive work done in 2007 so wanted to implement branding on the new 2010 version.

Through using one of the basic sharepoint services 2010 templates I wanted to try a little basic re-branding to start off with and see how simplified the process would be, I already have Designer 2010 installed.

A test subsite was created under the 2010 'root' area and opened up in designer 2010. I could immediately see the main areas containing any logo and other branding features was greyed out so effectively editing of master pages was disabled. This was overcome by a little research and finding out I had to enable editing of master pages / templates through the site admin area. I was immediately given access to all master pages (default.master, starter.master and v4.master - which I understand 4v is actually the 'main' master page used?

Here is where the problems begin.....I'm using designer 2010 but each time I create a page based on a master template layout, designer provides the error message 'Sharepoint Designer:

Hello.  Has anyone seen this problem before?

 

I'm developing workflows in SharePoint Designer 2007.  I have full permissions on the site and in SPD.  One day for no apparent reason, I can't save my workflow and start getting "Server Error: Access Denied" messages.  Also, site contributors cannot manually start the workflows, they get "Access Denied" on the workflow library.  This was all working fine the day before.  Here are more details:

 

ENVIRONMENT:

-WSS 3.0, SharePoint Designer 2007 on a virtual Windows Server 2008

Hi,

After spending 3 days, finally i could able to start the approval flow process (Only in default port) in SP2010. The problem is SPD is prompting the well known error "sharepoint designer encountered an error generating task" in other ports  (ex: 100). but working in default port.

Any Ideas? Kindly Share.

 

Hi,

I am using SPD to design(?) a workflow. I have two workflows of similar kind. One is working fine but the other is not. When the "Check Workflow" button is pressed, it give no error but when "Finish" is pressed it give me

Error were found when compiling the workflow. The workflow files were saved but cannot be run.

Advanced: Unexpected error on server associating the workflow

I have checked the workflow logic and I did not find logical error. I searched and found that i need to see in the web.config, but i did not find web.config file in SPD under by site.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your time,

Hi, i got this error while editing a sharepoint subsite in SharePoint Designer 2010. We are using SharePoint 2010, Office 2010, Windows 7 and SharePoint Designer 2010 x32.

When i now open my subsite in SharePoint Desinger i cant see any Lists and Libraries, no Workflows and no Site Pages. I get these messages:

"There are no items to show in this view."
"The Document Library view connot be displayed for this Web site."

All the Libraries and Files still exist and i can view the sites still in browser. I see them at "all files". But i cant edit anything or change things.

Does anybody know that issue? What can i do to fix that?

Best regards
