SharePoint main page calendar view sorting - sorting

How to sort calendar view on SharePoint main page in descending order (latest dates on top). Already in list view I have done but not appearing on main Page.Main page calendar view
I have done in event list view and sorted in descending order and while I am replicating on main page there is no option to sort. Options while adding Calendar on main page
I tried viewing some options are available in SharePoint design but not able to make it?
Can anyone help to sort out this

Per my knowledge,if you create a calendar view in the list, you can sort by dates, but the web part in the page has no OOTB way to sort by dates.

Dynamics 365: Change the default view to a custom search

Is there a way to change the default list page when you click on a entity form to a custom search page? Something like google ( a text box with a search button) to return the results of the list base on the search criteria?
for example,
from this:
to a search page.
Sorry you can't. This page is not customizable. But the dashboards are. You can make a custom dashbard with a single iframe and it can be your default page.
Yes you cannot modify the design of this list page. Dashboard & custom html webresource/iframe is fine.
But I recommend you to customize this list page itself to look like what you want, atleast close to similar CRM UX. First deactivate all the views for that particular entity except Active & Quick find. Rename the system view “Active Details” into “Search” & modify the filter condition to include something like createdon = tomorrow. Hence the grid will be empty, you got search box on right to start with. When user search, Quick find view resultset will be rendered in grid.

extjs 4 How to change ordering of shown column dropdown on grid

Using extjs 4.1.1
I have a grid with lots of columns >20.
Initially, most of these columns are hidden.
If a user wants to unhide the column, they select the menu on any column, then select the "columns" choice, this expands another dropdown/dropout which shows all of the columns. Those with checkboxes next to them are shown.
My issue is this:
The columns in the dropdown are shown in the order in which they are defined/displayed in the grid. The order in which they are displayed in the grid has been chosen for a good reason( e.g. id as the first column). However, when a user wants to display one of the hidden columns, it is hard for them to find it in the list. This is because the list is sorted in the order the columns are defined. I want to sort the column dropdown/dropout list in alphabetical order, without effecting the order of the columns in the grid.
How can this done?
I think I found the solution to your question.
First of all I don't have the Ext JS 4.1.1. framework on my current PC. So I tried to figure out you problem reading the Ext JS 4.1.3. documentation available on Sencha's site. But I don't think that they have made drastical changes in this part of the framework between the two minor releases so my solution should work in your case too.
I have tried out my solution using JSFiddle. Unfortunately they did not have the 4.1.1. ext-all.css file, so I have linked manually the 4.0.2 file available at Sencha, so the menu is looking a bit missplaced.
The header menu and it's submenus are managed by the Ext.grid.header.Container class. The column submenu is constructed by the getColumnMenu method. The whole menu is purged and reconstructed on every drag and drop or other event which should affect the grid view. As a result it is enough to overwrite this method in order to solve the problem. Because the headercontainer class is too deep in the framework it is hard to extend it, so you have to make use of the Ext.base.override method.
The column submenu's menu items are created from the result of the
items = headerContainer.query('>gridcolumn[hideable]')
query. So you have to first sort alphabetically the result, before creating the menu items. I have added to the class the sortColumns method which does all the sorting stuff.
So here is what I did: link to my solution.
I hope that this is what you were looking for.

Cascading dropdown lists within a form

I want to enable a pair of cascading dropdown lists within a form in an ASP.NET MVC3 / Razor2 application. Ideally the solution will meet the following goals:
Child list populated simply by changing the selection of the parent list
Both dropdown lists contained within the form as they need to post information on submit
Uses Ajax to avoid whole page round-trip
Uses Ajax Html helper for easy integration
Works even if javascript is not enabled
So, from a user point of view, when an item in the parent dropdown is selected, the contents of the child dropdown is refreshed to display items related to it.
Can anyone please suggest the best way to do this?
EDIT.
No takers ... suggests to me that there may be conflicting requirements in the above list of goals. The closest I got to the above was this article, which met all the goals except that it doesn't work nested within an Html form.
So, I will restate the problem in a different way: how can I make an AJAX call from a dropdown list within an Html form so that I can populated another dropdown list with related items?
Took some time to find a reasonable solution to this, although so far I still don't have a no-jquery fallback. This article shows you how to use AjaxHelper extensions to create your own Ajax-enabled controls. Works a treat, and very reusable.

Select a different value in a static dropdown using angular.js

I have a Magento product page producing static select elements, to which the price mechanism is tied in to backend, so i can't touch those dropdowns. I am using an angular.js radio element to recieve user input, which should in turn update the static dropdown's selected option.
I don't know how to link the two, I have recreated the problem here: http://jsfiddle.net/ldn_tech_exec/smBdC/1/
I want the radio button to update the dropdown, but I can only manipulate the dropdown after it has been created, perhaps using jquery to insert any angular directives required.
UPDATED again: Your select list needs an ng-model and the options should be generated with ng-options. When you select a radio button, the controller method you trigger should update that ng-model, which will cause the select list to update.
See http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:select
Another way to do this is to use ng-selected. See
http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:ngSelected
UPDATE #3: I missed the fact that you can't modify the select list initially. See my fiddle in the comments below for a working solution.
It sounds like you have some product where the price depends on the options set.
If this is the case then updating the drop-down from your radio button is relatively trivial - or at least depending on your prototype/jquery skills.
However there is a gotcha: once you update the drop-down in javascript with an 'invisible hand' there is a whole lot more javascript code to update the price and availability. To do this you need to bubble the event. This doesn't happen automatically if using prototype.
I hoped I could rustle up the 'bubble code' but I don't currently have it to hand, besides, you aren't stuck at that point, yet...

COLDFUSION CFGRID Datapass with a post

I have a bit of a unique challenge today. I have a client that wants to be able to search for multiple items based on inserts into a cfgrid. Suppose we have the following web form:
A Country selection dropdown
A State Selection dependent AJAX dropdown
A city Selection dependent AJAX dropdown
An ADD Button
----------------------------------------------------
A CFGRID that will populate a row with selections when the user clicks the add button
----------------------------------------------------
And finally, a CLEAR button, and a GO button on the bottom.
The resulting page will then query the database and get some statistics about the cities selected. So, suppose an individual picks USA > Arizona > Scottsdale and USA > Arizona > Flagstaff. The grid below the options will 'save' each selection and reset to their default options, waiting for a user to pick additional options or click on 'GO'.
The resulting page will then generate columns that list some statistics about the communities and highlight the 'best of' between each selected community.
Each time a user selects the ADD button (assuming three criteria are selected) I want the information to be added into a CFGRID that displays the options selected. Then, After the user selects at least one country/city/state option, have all of the data in the CFGRID get passed to another page that does a query from the data selected. In theory, the user could pick as many communities as they want, assuming they are willing to let the database sludge through enough data to get what they want and wait through a 'loading' screen to get it.
I'm having these challenges, in no particular order:
- I have an HTML grid that I must use per client spec (No Java or Flash, must be HTML)
- I have no idea how to get the selected options into the CFGRID. I assume there is some JavaScript I can write that uses some sort of AddRow function to add data into the grid with the add button but cannot seem to find how to it on the interwebs
- After we conquer the above challenge, how do I pass the data from the grid into the results page? I thought about passing one big string or a structure, but I'm not sure how to do that through the URL or posting, nor how to get the data out of the grid. I wonder if I am better off coding some sort of string that gets passed from the options page to the results page with a get method instead of dealing with the stuff in the CFGRID and have the CFGRID serve only as a 'dummy' display container.
- Finally, after the pass is complete, I would need to loop through through the structure and perform a CFQUERY or CFSTOREDPROC on each row of data, then get the statistics I need to display on the results page. I assume this would depend on how I am getting the data from the options selection page to the results page.
THANK YOU ALL!
CFGRID is great to start, but it can be b*tch to customize and extend... Have you tried editable CFGRID with bind? See how far off it is from what you want first. If it turns out to be very far, then you might want to go for a jqGrid and code up some jQuery.
To start, read Using HTML grids and make the cfgrid editable.

Once you got that working, look at these provided JS functions that you can use with CFGRID

If you still demand a bit more, you might need to dig into the underlying ExtJS component. At that point I would rather use jqGrid
I found out that the best way to handle this was by using a SerializeJSON call and a Deserialize JSON call back and forth. By using JavaScript notation we are able to pass a complex JavaScript object (array) between one page and another. This has the value add of not having to worry about sessions timing out and making URLs clickable from one solution to the next.
