I've been doing some research on how to implement a workflow in SharePoint Online and I found two interesting examples:
First
Second
They were useful, but there is a big problem with these. They are apps, so the workflow cannot be used outside the app (ex. lists, libraries) is there any way to make this (using Visual Studio, Power shell, SP Designer, etc.)? I am new in SharePoint, can anybody help me?
You kan add
true
to the WorkflowManifest in order to publish the workflow om the hostweb. But not that the tasks og history for the workfow is still tracked on the appweb.
You can see example here...
http://www.vrdmn.com/2014/09/integrated-workflow-apps-deploy.html
If you need the tasks and history on the hostweb you can create a sandbox solution with the workflow and publish the wsp-apckage on the site.
If you are not a programmer you're probably better of with SharePoint Designer 2013. You can download that for free. Just make a quick search for SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow. There are plenty of examples for this.

I need help, currently i'm working on how to rollback a package installation (I've made a terrible mistake regarding a Sitecore deployment package), and found a bitter truth about it.
So i just left my hope, and move on into a future precautions act.. i want to analyze any package before i deploy it. I search around and found "Sitecore Rocks Anti Package" could be my "X-Ray Detector".
I'm trying to follow steps on this site "28 Days of Sitecore Rocks" and already tripped at early steps. I found no "Manage Package" Menu on my Sitecore Explorer.
There should be "Manage Package" menu like in that site tutorial.
Please help, i can't proceed further to learn the subject.
Btw, im using Visual Studio 2015 and Sitecore Rocks v 2.0.39.0.
Thanks.
In order to use some of the advanced functionality in Sitecore Rocks you need to ensure that the connection type used is the Hard Rock Web Service and not the Good Old Web Service.
Modify your connection and ensure you are using Hard Rock Web Service:
You should now have the Manage Packages option available allowing you to create anti-packages:
If you are using Sitecore Powershell Extensions module then a script exists to create an anti-package, the benefit is that it can be created on any server and not just instances connected to your Visual Studio (i.e. Production instances).
I worked in .net . I start working in sharepoint 2013 today and I'm confused where is .cs file of .aspx file . I need book or any site to learn sharepoint app development . Please don't suggest msdn .
I'd recommend Wrox Sharepoint 2013 development. It is confusing (sharepoint development, at first), and for the most part, you won't be doing .cs code for Sharepoint applications. You'll want to do everything client side and call web APIs from the application that you eventually deploy into Sharepoint. Then, your APIs can live wherever and you write .NET code just as you always have. If you follow that formula, you should set yourself up for easy migration paths once SP gets updated.
Download this book .I got this book in google. I think this one will help you.
I writing a tool to automatically update a datasheet on a sharepoint 2007 site. The tool runs on JVM, and seems like 2007 has no REST service support, so can anyone point me to some good resource of using webservice to update datasheet object on sharepoint?
Thanks,
The DataSheet is just a UI view in front of a SharePoint list, therefore you should be looking to update the List, not the DataSheet UI.
This will give you a start, its written for C# but can be ported to Java.

This programming task shows how to use
the UpdateListItems method of the
Lists Web service to update items in a
list through a Microsoft Windows
application.
For Java specific example see - http://davidsit.wordpress.com/2010/02/15/creating-sharepoint-list-items-with-java-tutorial/
I'm trying to modify and set alert templates on a SP (working on a copy of alerttemplates.xml), but I'd like to deploy them just on some specific sites, not the whole farm. Is this possible? I'm using SharePoint 2010 RTM.
Thanks
Changes take effect at the site collection level (aka top level site) and include all subsites in them
stsadm -o updatealerttempaltes
If you want more granular control you would have to look into IAlertNotifier, workflow or various 3rd party apps.
SO - Customise SharePoint Alerts
In SharePoint 2010, site templates (.stp files) are deprecated. Instead, solutions (.wsp files) are used to achieve the same effect, but also beyond that. Uploading .stp file and using it was straight forward in MOSS and WSS.
However, in SharePoint 2010, it is necessary to upload a solution and to activate it before using it. I need this functionality, and I also need it implemented through web services. Has anyone encountered something similar? Could anyone help? Thanks a lot.
OK, I've reached some people from the SharePoint design team at Microsoft and they have confirmed that there is no web service with a functionality to activate the solution. The upload of the solution should be done in a straight forward manner.
I unsure why you need to deploy a solution file using WebService. You can easily create a WSP Solution using this tool WSPBuilder and you can use Solution Installer to install the solution to the SharePoint farm. You can download the SharePoint installer's code and see what API to use to upload the solution to sharepoint.
