My SharePoint Experience
Hello everyone,
Today I’ll do some advertising for another blogger who makes a great post about free tools for SharePoint.
Some of them are new to me and seems pretty awesome! Great job Velin and Thank you for this one!

Hello everyone,
Today, in the Quick Win series, I’ll talk about the possibility to view attachments in a list view.
By default, when you have one or more attachments to a list item, you see this
If you open the properties of the item, you see the full list of attachments
To display the full list of attachments in the view of your list, simply add the following JSLink (don’t forget to fix the path for the JQuery file)
(function () {
// jQuery library is required
(window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="PATH/jquery.min.js"><\/script>'));
// Create object that have the context information about the field that we want to change it output render
var linkFiledContext = {};
linkFiledContext.Templates = {};
linkFiledContext.Templates.Fields = {
"Attachments": { "View": AttachmentsFiledTemplate }
};
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(linkFiledContext);
})();
// This function provides the rendering logic for list view
function AttachmentsFiledTemplate(ctx) {
var itemId = ctx.CurrentItem.ID;
var listName = ctx.ListTitle;
return getAttachments(listName, itemId);
}
function getAttachments(listName,itemId) {
var url = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl;
var requestUri = url + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('" + listName + "')/items(" + itemId + ")/AttachmentFiles";
var str = "";
// execute AJAX request
$.ajax({
url: requestUri,
type: "GET",
headers: { "ACCEPT": "application/json;odata=verbose" },
async: false,
success: function (data) {
for (var i = 0; i < data.d.results.length; i++) {
str += "<a href='" + data.d.results[i].ServerRelativeUrl + "'>" + data.d.results[i].FileName + "</a>";
if (i != data.d.results.length - 1) {
str += "
";
}
}
},
error: function (err) {
console.log(err)
}
});
return str;
}
Et voila!
I wish I had the idea but I did not write this code, I found it on this msdn topic (Thanks Denis Guo)
Hoping this helps!

Hello everyone,
Today, in the “Quick Wins” series I will talk about the preview of pdf document in SharePoint in “Classic” mode.
Problematic
As a user,
I want to see the preview of my pdf documents in my library and in my search result
In order to take advantage of this functionality in the same way as for office documents.
Cause
By default PDF files do not display the preview in the call-out menu
In libraries
In search result
Resolution
In order to use the preview of a PDF, we will tell SharePoint to use Word’s functionality for PDF files.
In libraries
We will use a jsLink file to integrate on desired views. The script to use is the following
window.onload = function () {
SP.SOD.executeFunc('filePreview.js', null, function () {
embeddedWACPreview.dimensions["pdf"] = embeddedWACPreview.dimensions["docx"];
filePreviewManager.previewers.extensionToPreviewerMap["pdf"] = filePreviewManager.previewers.extensionToPreviewerMap["docx"];
});
};
Put this script in a .js file, store it in a library in your site collection, and populate the jsLink in the view.
In search result
Simply create a result type based on the one used for Word and tell it to target pdf documents..
Go to the “Site settings”
In the “Search” section, click “Result Types”
Scroll down to Result Type “Microsoft Word” and click “Copy”
Give the name you want (PDF) ,choose the “PDF” content type and click “Save”
Results
In libraries
In search result
Hoping this helps!

Hello everyone.
Today I will talk about a specific configuration of the permissions
Problematic
As an administrator of my site,
I want my members to be able to add files / items but not to be able to delete them
In order to avoid unwanted deletion of information.
Reason
The standard permission level for members is “Edit”. This level of permission is sometimes replaced by the lower level “Contribute”. These rights allow members to participate in the addition of information to the site but also by default to delete the content.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, we will create a new permission level that we will call “Contribute – No Delete”. We will apply it to the member group at the site level.
Go in the site settings
Under “Users and Permissions”, click on “Site Permissions”
On the ribbon, click on the “Permission Levels” links
Choose the permission level “Contribute”
Scroll down and click on the “Copy Permission Level” button
Add the name “Contribute – No Delete”, set a description and untick the “Delete Items” and “Delete Versions” permissions
Scroll down and click on “Create”
The permission level is created, go back to the “Site Permission” by clicking the “Permissions” link
Select the “Members” group and click on “Edit User Permissions”
Select only the “Contribute – No Delete” permission level and click on ok
Now your members will see this in the ribbon when they select an item
“Edit item” is accessible but “Delete Item” is greyed out.
Hoping it helps.
Christopher.
