I'm building a BDC Model on Sharepoint Foundation 2013, and would like to use the custom connector.
Does anyone have a tutorial? even better if it can show some good practices..?
Thanks!!
You can take a look on my personal blog:

I'm showing an example on how to index Products from a SQL server using a custom BDC on SharePoint 2013.

If anyone knowledge about how to implement/create a digital signature for SharePoint 2013 and online document library?
Any answer will be highly appreciated. This is new for me.
Thanks!
Infowise is another option (I don't work for Infowise). I use them in custom training forms - the trainee and trainer both sign that the training has been completed.
I didn't realise it before, but the above link shows that it can also be used to sign off documents. (Though the OOTB Approval workflow can also be used for this purpose, of course).
[I work for DocuSign]
The DocuSign for SharePoint product supports true digital signatures for SharePoint documents.
My goal is to create a custom NewForm and EditForm for an existing SharePoint list in the app web of a sharepoint-hosted app for SharePoint 2013 online using Visual Studio 2013. In addition to a custom layout, the forms should also use custom JavaScript.
I have read and worked through several tutorials like
http://community.bamboosolutions.com/blogs/sharepoint-2010/archive/2011/05/12/sharepoint-2010-cookbook-how-to-create-a-customized-list-edit-form-for-development-in-visual-studio-2010.aspx
This tutorial requires to open the list in SharePoint Designer. My question now: How can I open and edit lists of the app web in SharePoint Designer (I am working with SharePoint Designer 2013)? Is it even possible? Or is there another possibility to create a custom NewForm and EditForm for a list in the app web of a sharepoint-hosted app for SharePoint 2013 online using Visual Studio 2013?
Short answer, you dont.
What you need insted is to look into Client Side Rendering, and manipulate your newform by JavaScript insted.
This is an older question, so if it is still relevant, and if you need help moving forward let me know, and i will be happy to elaborate.
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.
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.
I'm trying to upload documents to SharePoint using web services attaching custom metadata to the files. I've searched but have not found a good tutorial covering all these topics. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Here's why I think I need to use web services:
I'm developing on XP and the Sharepoint object model is not remotable. This means any code which has "using Microsoft.Sharepoint" is out :-(
I'm looked into the CopyIntoItems web service but am having trouble implementing it myself. I was hoping for a clear tutorial. I've tried using the sample code from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/copy.copy.copyintoitems.aspx , but I'm not sure what my sourceURL should be. Also, since I can't use "Microsoft.Sharepoint" references, I'm wondering what my Fields will look like? (Is this my metadata?) Also, I'm curious as to why only Website projects allow me to add a web service.
Once the file is "in" Sharepoint using that web service, I'll have to use another one to update custom columns, or metadata. Some of these are freeform text, but other must match entries in lists or lookups. I haven't found any information on this yet.
Thank you for your help!
Here is some code http://geek.hubkey.com/2007/10/upload-file-to-sharepoint-document.html
As for why it is that is the way because Microsoft wrote it that way :). Some people have written custom web services that combine them, http://www.sharepointblogs.com/ssa/archive/2006/11/30/wsuploadservice-web-service-for-uploading-documents-into-sharepoint.aspx
Using the built in web services you have to upload the file and upload CAML which contains the columns. Another option if you are using a MS-Office document is to make sure the author fills in the properties in the document then you can have those fields displayed in sharepoint.
Here is some stuff on the Sharepoint Designer - http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/FX100487631033.aspx
Hope that helps a little.
You can link to the Sharepoint 2007 training from here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/training/HA102358581033.aspx
The designer I believe has a WS example in it.
