List View Tools tab missing in SharePoint Designer 2013 - sharepoint-2013

I got a task to customize the list view in SharePoint Designer 2013 . Unfortunately , i don't see List View Tools tab in my SharePoint Designer 2013. Even if i click anywhere in the web part code , i don't get it.
How to enable the List View tools tab in SharePoint Designer 2013 ?
With List View Tools :
Without List View Tools :

Bizarrely, Edit the Web Part properties and tick Miscellaneous > Server Render. I know on Tasks view webparts that this disables the Timeline and Complete icon functionality but it
enables the List View Tools and
enables valid filtering (with Server Render unticked, the filtering is wrong!).

simple way...
Open the list in Sharepoint designer 2013.
Select tag and right click and then click on tag properties.
just click on the open button.
And DONE..u can now see the List View tool option.

In my case it worked when the page was created as "Web Part Page". By default, if you select "Add a page" SharePoint creates it as "Wiki Page" and this functionality is not available.

All the options under ribbon tabs are greyed out in SharePoint 2013

All the options under ribbon tabs are greyed out in SharePoint 2013. I am only the site administrator and site owner and permissions has been set to full control but still all the options are disabled under ribbon tabs i.e in format text and insert ribbon tab.
Even I selected the web part and checked but still the options are greyed out. I have to modify content editor web part but I am not able to do that.
Are you sure that no one else has the page already checked out / editing?
You can choose Site Actions > Show ribbon.
If another user has it checked out, sometimes this can happen - looks like your permissions have been lost, when in fact the page is being edited by another user.

Change View of Sharepoint XSLT List View webpart in javascript

I have created a Sharepoint hosted app for Office 365. It has a page file "default.aspx". I have added an XSLTListViewWebpart on that page, referring a custom List I created within my APP project. I have a requirement that on a button click event, I need to change the View of the List displayed in the XSLTListViewWebpart. Since there is no server code within the APP, would this be possible in javascript? Or would it be possible to somehow change the query that the webpart uses?
You can try to use Javascript object model to achieve this. Please see this article.

Why is Insert > Related List not working in sharepoint 2013?

Hi I have got a few lists with Lookup fields from Source lists. I wish to have a Related lists (Webpart connections from 2007 days) where I select item from master and then child records are displayed. Although I have followed the instructions on the below article, the "relationship" bit is not working. The Related records from the child lists are not filtering rather showing all records from the child table.

I also encountered this issue, and the solution is pretty simple, but not very obvious. When creating a new page, you MUST be sure that you create a page of type Web Part Page. When you use the default "Add a Page" option from the site settings menu, the default page type is a Wiki page, not a web part page. Even though you can add web parts to a Wiki page, the Wiki page does not include the functionality for implementing web part connections.
Once I created a page using one of the Web Part Page types, I was able to use web part connections.
have you tried this:
Browse to the affected page, and then open the page in edit mode.
Click the drop-down arrow in the upper-right corner of the Web Part for the tasks list, and then click Edit Web Part.
On the right side of the page in the Web Part properties controls, click the plus sign (+) on the Miscellaneous section, click to select the Server Render checkbox, and then click OK.
Save the changes to the page.

Showing Announcement list in Custom Page in Sharepoint site

I am having a sharepoint site and i had added a custom aspx page and I want to show the announcement list items in that page. How to show the list items in a custom page ?. Helpful links and sample code would be helpful?
Access Your custom page from the browser and Edit the page by clicking Site action > Edit Page. If you have a Web part Zone available in your page then
Click 'Add a webpart'(for webpart page) > Click 'Insert' tab in ribbon > Select 'WebPart' > List and libraries > select the announcement list and click OK.
This will add a web part of announcement list in your page.
But if you dont have the webpart zone then i am afraid it is not possible directly,
But you can use client object model for this visit this
