Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but for some reason after I installed the SharePoint 2013 March 2015 CU I am unable to filter Task Lists using a view. (April 2015 does not work either) Even the default Completed view does not work. All items are begin displayed. I have tested this on four different servers now. There is a checkbox in the web part properties that allows for server rendering which I am currently using as a work around but I would like to get the client side rendering to work again as it had before the CU.
Was contacted by Microsoft yesterday.
Short summary:
At the moment there are no solutions for this problem, but they are working on a new smaller CU update that will include a fix. They could not give me a timeframe for when this update will be published, but they told me "very soon".
There are two quick/temporary fixes:
1. On the page go to Settings -> Edit Page -> Select the List Web Part and the option Edit Web part -> Miscellaneous -> Server Render (Checkbox).
2. Go to the list -> select and edit view -> expand "Style" -> Chose any style besides "Default". The style "Shaded" is ok.
I've just confirmed that the May 2015 Cumulative update contains a fix for the issue listed above http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=47213
Please note that the CU does take quite a while to install and requires the server to be rebooted
After applying the March 2015 CU (and possibly MS15-022), it is no longer possible to Filter a View based on criteria in the Task list (e.g. Task Status). This appears to only impact new Task Lists created post-patch. One workaround is to place the Task list on a Page. Edit the Web Part and check "Server Render" under Miscellaneous. This does not appear to be a Lists.asmx Web Service issue as the filtered view correctly filters in 3rd party tools.

Just bumped into the issue above but it happened on a custom list (not issue derived) with March 2016 CU applied. This is the first instance I found so far. I corrected it by doing the following:
Edit the listview page.
Edit the listview web part
In the Miscellaneous section, click Server Render
Save web part settings and page.
Repeat 1-4 except uncheck Server Render.
I also encountered this issue, but on a SharePoint 2013 BCS External List. Filtering with "yes" on a Yes/No column seems to do nothing, return all rows as is. Also when I choose to filter by a date on DateTime columns, no rows were returned.
Changing the view style to "Shaded" and enabling "Server Render" solved the above issues.
Downside to this solution is that you loose the ability to use JS Link / CSR.

The way that Page Editor handles versions has been causing issues for in one of our Sitecore solutions for a client. I've posted about them here:
Sitecore instance showing incorrect workflow state in Page Editor
Expected usage of Page Editor's Experience date
I didn't get much response on those and so far I've surmised that this is just how Sitecore works. This is less than ideal for our instance, as when publishing restrictions are set, authors don't know which version they're editing which is causing various issues for them.
I'd like to implement a solution(s) to improve the experience provide the following functionality:
Something in the Experience tab that shows the number of the version being viewed.
A button on the Experience tab that resets the Date to the default (this is not simply setting the date to the current date/time, but resetting it to act as it did before a date was manually set).
A custom button in Content Editor which allows an author to open a specific version in Page Editor...set the date automatically when it opens, I guess.
An any one give me some clues on how much of this is possible and where to start?
Thanks.
For the first bullet "Something in the Experience tab that shows the number of the version being viewed", you can add version item in Core database.
Move to "Core" DB in Desktop Mode
Navigate to "/sitecore/content/Applications/WebEdit/Ribbons/WebEdit/Experience/"
Create "Versions" item like this, http://imgur.com/bPEDm7R
Create "Compare" item under "Versions" like this, http://imgur.com/dG8dz2M
The result like this, http://imgur.com/HPu3XAL
The content author can see which version they are using and they can also compare with previous versions.
i want to add my custom application name in Sitecore Start Menu List, i'm following this article :
Adding Application Shortcut
it saying use Core database i'm using this, i couldn't find Layout studio, can any sitecore developer suggest me how to find this and finish my job. Thanks in advance.
I think the instructions you've linked to there are out of date. I've not seen that bit of UI in recent releases of Sitecore.
Working in Sitecore 6.6 I've successfully made custom applications using these instructions:
http://sdn.sitecore.net/Articles/Customizing%20Sitecore%20Client/Adding%20an%20Application%20Shortcut/Creating%20an%20Application.aspx
But beware the issue that I've blogged about here. The recent revisions of Sitecore subtly break the configuration defined above, and you have to manually edit out a file extension to make everything work:

Based on the "it doesn't work in 7.5" comment below, I've tried these instructions on a test instance of Sitecore 7.5 rev 141003. It seems 7.5 behaves slightly differently - but I can still make it work.
Create the item under /sitecore/content/Applications using the external link button for the "Application" field. With raw values displayed, it should look something like:
And then create your application shortcut under /sitecore/content/Documents and settings/All users/Start menu using an internal link for the Application field. I found this still added the '.aspx' extension mentioned in my blog post, but I also found that editing it out again didn't work - it reappeared as soon as I hit save. I needed to edit out the extension from the link data using the Raw Values view in order to get the data shown below:
With those things set up, refreshing the page caused the test item to appear on my start menu:
Hopefully that works for you too?

Which version of Sitecore are you using? The Layout Studio is probably one of the least features in Sitecore, and personally not something I have ever used.
Instead you should create the the layout in Visual Studio - which then means your layout can be added to your Source Control System. Then follow the instructions in the link in Jeremy's answer.
If you do need to access the Layout Studio for some reason you can find it under: Sitecore menu > Development Tools > Developer Center. From there you can create new files/open existing files.
I'm working on a SharePoint site that was just upgraded from SP2010 to SP2013. Some of our pages have a DVWP with items that are grouped. The issue is that once a group is collapsed, it cannot be expanded. In SP2010, there would be a '+' icon next to the group header which would expand the group when clicked. Now in SP2013 it displays a black arrow icon (pointing down and to the right), when that is clicked nothing happens.
I'm not sure what information is needed to diagnose this problem, if you need more details please ask.
The DVWP was created in SPD2010 using the SPD interface to create the grouping (the "Sort & Group" button, select the data field, check the box to show group header). I also don't have access to SPD2013 yet, still using SPD2010.
Also, I'm using IE8, upgrading to a more modern browser isn't an option. I haven't tested this on other browsers.
I am working on some custom Redmine reports. In the generated report, there are numbers that represent things like "number of issues moved to Development during Q3 2013". The report generator knows the issue id of every issue that matches that criteria.
Is there a way to construct a Redmine URL that shows a list of all issues given a list of issue ids? For example, something like (this doesn't actually work):
http://redmine/projects/example/issues?ids=1234,1239,1245
This is similar to existing feature requests such as http://www.redmine.org/issues/10828 but I'm looking for the user-facing HTML version, not an API function. The idea is to allow the user viewing the report to click on the number and to see the corresponding list of issues.
The solution I ended up with was to include the list of issues in a <div> for each number in the report that the user could click on. Then, when the user clicks on a number, the corresponding <div> is displayed using a jQuery UI dialog.
This is not the same as using the Redmine issue list screen to show the issues. However, for this purpose it works well enough.
No, this is not implemented. But for me it should never be necessary in the Gui.
My Solution would be : Build the adequate query. Eventually this will need the addition of a field in Redmine and backporting the information from your tool to Redmine. Generally the need for this feature shows your bug tracker lacks some information that he should track.
I have several Sitecore items (whose template is connected to an approval workflow) that will not go into Edit mode when clicking "Edit" from the "Review" tab. The same workflow is used elsewhere on the site successfully (the site is more than 3 years old), but clicking Edit in this case doesn't seem to affect the workflow state.
I've turned on verbose logging, which provides a lot of detail, but nothing to indicate any error conditions. I've been comparing how this template is configured with other "working" templates for a couple of days and everything looks Kosher, but surely I'm missing something obvious.
EDIT: The item(s) in question are imported by a data provider, and I've confirmed that for some reason Sitecore is not setting the "Workflow" and "State" system standard fields with a default value. That appears to be at least part of the issue.
EDIT 2: Followed the steps in this thread http://sdn.sitecore.net/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=45991 to use Sitecore Rocks to update all of the items to the correct Workflow State, but the update did not stick. For some reason workflow changes are not persisted for imported items.
EDIT 3: Clicking the Edit dropdown button under the Home tab displays the message "The item is currently not part of a workflow."
Standard values set correctly? Only have one Standard Values item for this template?
Generally, almost every time I run into a situation where X works on certain items, but not on others... it's a permissions issue. You've tested this as an Administrator I hope?
Sorry my suggestions are so vague, but it's hard to be specific here. We need some more information from you... When you click on Edit what exactly are you expecting to happen? I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "Edit mode" here. In Content Editor, all items are essentially in edit mode all the time... In my configuration, when I click on Edit, I am just locking the item. It does not change workflow state or create a new version.
These items are coming from a data provider... is your data provider handling Lock/Unlock calls properly? I know it's possible to use a data provider without implementing the entire Item API.
