How to add a Repeating Table to Sharepoint Custom List (via Customize Form)

Hi,

I want to customize SharePoint List form: newform.aspx to add functionality similar to a repeating table in InfoPath?

I’d like to achieve similar functionality using in SharePoint Designer and Javascript/JQuery.

Any suggestions / links / examples are sincerely appreciated.

Thanks 

I am trying to create an infopath form for requesting time off.  Once the request is approved I want the form to add the event to a calendar on sharepoint.  I was able to do this using the article by S.Y.M. Wong-A-Ton at http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2007/programmatically-add-item-sharepoint-calendar-infopath.htm.  But I want the form to also add an item to a custom list that has the employees available time off stored on it.  That way the form can automatically subtract the time entered on the infopath form from what is available on the custom list.  I was able to do this using another article by S.Y.M. Wong-A-Ton at  http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2007/programmatically-add-rich-text-item-sharepoint-list-infopath.htm.  I can make both of these functions happen seperately but I need them to happen on the same Infopath form.  I am using Infopath and MOSS 2007.  I have tried to use 2 CAML receive data files and I treid to co

Hi All Gurus...

I'm just looking for a way to resize the form field input boxes for a custom list form. I don't think I'm understanding how the displaysize attribute works. It doesn't take "px" or maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing. I know this is a easy question

Pls help its urgent

Hi,

I want to have a form where the user can specify how many items she wants to create for a custom sharepoint list? When submitting the form, that will start creation of X number of new items in a custom Sharepoint list.

Is this doable with forms?

Hi,

I have a requirement to create "Service Request" form for 3 types of users namely "End Users", "Reviewer" and "Manager".
End users will submit the request --> Reviewer will update the effort in man day --> Manager will approve the SR form. Assuming there are 10 different fields for each and the workflow and email is in place for each level.

I'm planning to use SharePoint 2007 custom list form.

1) What is the best approach to create Service Request form?
2) Can I use SharePoint Designer alone to achieve this OR Do I need Visual studio?
3) Is it one custom list form containing all the 30 elements (10 fields each) OR 3 different lists?

Please advice. Thanks.

Note:
Due to some reasons, we don't want to take InfoPath form; Instead Custom List form.

Hi,

In sharepoint designer i am editing NEWFORM.aspx for a custom list and adding a custom list form to the page. When i try add item i get a correlation error : "hiding key filters and downgrading tree functionality to legacy ListViewWebPart(v3) level for this list."

Any ideas? Thanks

I am trying to add a Custom List Form in SharePoint Designer but the menu option is greyed out.   I can do it for one of my other Sharepoint 2007 publishing sites but my new publishing site I can not since all of the Sharepoint Controls are greyed out.   Any ideas?

I have an infopath form that I've created for expensed that has 2 repating tables that I've added custom code with CAML XML receive data connections and UpdateListItems Submit connections to allow for the data to be submitted to 2 custom lists but the data isn't appearing and I'm not getting any errors. The code is linked to the submit button and the form was succesfully published and deployed to my MOSS 2007 server and the form submits all of the non-repeating tabke data to the main data connection (a sharepoint library) but the other data doesn't get entered into the custom tables.

Is there some way to trace the InfoPath functionality to ensure that the code is being executed, and if so, to diagnose any issues?

I used the method provided here in order to Submit repeating tables to s SharePoint list:

http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2007/how-to-submit-items-rows-repeating-table-infopath-sharepoint-list.htm

The reason I need the data is to generate reports using the rows in the repeating forms, maybe there's a better way to traverse the list without having to use extra tables but I don't know of one. If there is I would appreciate any help in being pointed in the right direction.

Thanks!

I have a reapeating table in maind atat source and I am trying to  populate it from values in a secondary data source, but when I am trying to do that it is only populating first row, leaving all other rows blank.

How to get this working..

Can someone give me a clue of how to connect a specific Custom List View with a custom Edit Form.

I have created a custom list, and I have created a custom view attached to that list.   I also have a custom CustomEditForm.aspx form created using SharePoint Designer.

I want to associate the Custom Edit form directly with one and one view only for a given list so that when the user clicks the edit icon in that view, they are linked to the custom Edit Form.  But all other views including the All Items view behave as normal, i.e. using the normal EditForm.aspx.

I can replace the EditForm.aspx in the Url with my custom form and it works fine, but I can't seem to figure out how to connect the custom view edit link to the custom form.  It always takes me back to the default EditForm.aspx page.

I have investigated the href="{$URL_Edit}?ID={@ID}" onclick="GoToPage('{$URL_Edit}?ID={@ID}') in code, which appears to  be how the URL is generated but I'm not sure how or where best to set the value of URL_Edit parameter so that I point to the custom Edit Form.  This is somehow getting passed into the custom view, but I'm not sure how best to set it for a specific non-AllItems view.

Does anyone

hi,

i created a dataview for a user table to insert new records. now i have to use a dropdown list that get data from another table. to insert in my user table. in the user table only the code is stored. but i need to get that code description that is in another table in my dropdownlist to choose from in my dataview.

how can i do this in sharepiont designer2007?

Hello,

Suddenly sharepoint designer decided today that it doesn't want to insert a custom list form anymore...
To be more specific, it doesn't work anymore in a site that uses the Microsoft budgeting and tracking template. In a website that uses an out of the box template, it still works.

It did work before, because I did it in other websites using the same template (it's broken there as well now).

Why oh why does SharePoint refuse to do this now?
I searched google and here on the forums, but all I could find was some issues after installing SP1, but we did that already long time ago and it was still working after that. I checked with our infrastructure guys and they didn't install new updates they say.

I also tried the solutions listed here: http://blogs.msdn.com/spdsupport/archive/2008/07/03/how-to-fix-custom-list-forms-will-not-insert-or-show-up-on-the-design-surface-of-sharepoint-designer.aspx
But they don't fix the problem.

So my problem is, I can go to Insert > SharePoint Controls > Custom List Form
I pick my list, content type and form type, I hit OK and... nothing happens.
