What is the best way to display a filtered List View in SharePoint? - list

We got a standard-webpart, which displays the document library using views. We can use these views using the SharePoint Designer to customize to our customers needs.
Now the customer wants to have filter/search - option that is used on the title of the documents.
What would be the best ways without writing custom code?
Can it even be done just using SharePoint-Designer and standard-webparts?

I was able to this in sharepoint 2007, and i believe this is also applicable in sharepoint 2010, check this site for more info http://sharethelearning.blogspot.com/2007/03/filtering-list-by-partial-match.html
this is by using data view web parts.

Infopath Sharepoint forms

I have been given a simple task of creating a sharepoint form, collect few information, Make and API call, do some calculation using response from API and the original input and show results on the page.
I don’t have much experience in working with sharepoint or infopath. I have been told that infopath is the way to achieve this
Can someone suggest what’s the best way to achieve this ?
Can we use JS in infopath ? Or is it only c# ?
FYI:- power apps is not an option due to legacy platforms
SharePoint has out-of-box features to implement your logic to collect data from user. It is out-of-box list and its list items. On list item creating you have out-of-box form with fields. No InfoPath required. You can add on this form some logic to implement your API calls and displaying its result. I think If I correctly understood then you can do it without any additional tools. You will need just to write code for API calls. SharePoint has also out-of-box list view. Here you can see all data collected from users.
InfoPath required if you need difficult form logic. Like I want choose value here and another value will be calculated on this value and set to another field and additionally will be formatted.

How to create a quiz using sharepoint list? OOTB only version 2013

I need to know how do i show the random items in sharepoint list and how to create a column whic user will fill and submit the answers.
Then sharepoint column will check using that column whether the answer is right or not
Survey may not suit your case.
Because the rating/grading functionality would be very difficult to address with Surveys. I'd also recommend you to create ASP.NET pages, but create them as application pages.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb418732.aspx
After creating this page just deploy to _LAYOUTs and call this page into your web part page. I've a different thought of using PageViewer web part. Do not use page viewer webpart for this kind of quiz functionality. If you have a single plain vannila page, you can go for page viewer web part. Quiz would be a full-blown ASP.NET web application. Its' better to deploy that as application page instead of a page viewer web part approach.
If you ready to purchase 3'rd party products, you can try evaluating the following web part.

Django and Google Calendar

I'm trying to add Gcal integration to my site, and while I can easily display the calendar using OAuth, I can't seem to find a way to add events without making the calendar view public.
Ever person who has access to this website also has editing access to the calendar. Members want to keep the gcal and not switch to a Django calendar instead.
I'm trying to figure out a way to do the following:
Keep calendar view private
Allow members to add events on the group's Django site
Is there a way to do this? I've read that it is not possible to export events which are behind the login page. What package might permit me to do this? Is there a way to integrate a Django calendar package with the Google OAuth? Apologies if this question isn't specific; I'm the only developer working with narrow and changing constraints.
Setting your authorization's scope to read-only should be able to keep your calendar public but not editable. You can find more about that here.
You also might want to check on the Google Calendar API documentation for more information regarding the calendars access levels.

Access 2013 on SharePoint 2013 Online - Multiple Questions

Very long time since I even look at Access.. but on SPO, with a database on Azure it seems really nice ... wondering tho..
Any way to remove that left pane with the Databases from the UI?
Set a list button to go to a URL formatted using selected column fields in the row?
Join in oData datasource like SharePoint Online List? Validate against SharePoint list Data? set dropdowns to lookup using SharePoint list data?
Any file upload control and upload to a sharePoint Library? A way to add metadata to a file and do some validation - like does file exist with this metadata. Dynamically rename files to some unique string.
Perform complex field validation with REGEX?
Secure the application and database to SharePoint groups.
What's the business language of choice? Not clear on how to edit and save macros. Can it make calls to webservices?
Any way to change that obsure url you get for the App in SharePoint 2013 Online?
Any way to remove that left pane with the Databases from the UI?
No, but there is a workaround. Right click on the tables you don't want to be visible, and select the option to hide them individually. You can also rename the table-views in that pane, so they appear to have more user-friendly names for your end-users.
Set a list button to go to a URL formatted using selected column fields in the row?
The best way to achieve something like this would be using a hyperlink control attached to a calculated column in your table/query where the URL and display text are computed and linked together automatically. If you need list functionality, you can allow the user to select an item in the list, and have that automatically update a separate hyperlink control to provide the link functionality.
Join in oData data source like SharePoint Online List? Validate against SharePoint list Data? set dropdowns to lookup using SharePoint list data?
Access 2013 Web Apps cannot pull external data at this time. Access 2013 Web Apps only accept incoming data connections e.g. a MS-SQL or oData service can use industry-standard methods to connect to your Access Web App and validate data.
Any file upload control and upload to a SharePoint Library? A way to add metadata to a file and do some validation - like does file exist with this metadata. Dynamically rename files to some unique string.
The only file support currently provided by Access Web Apps is in the form of images uploaded to an image field inside a table. This is useful to add people's photos to their records in a "contacts" table, and things like this. Other than that, you will need to use a custom SharePoint library interface for this type of functionality.
Perform complex field validation with REGEX?
Not currently supported to my knowledge.
Secure the application and database to SharePoint groups.
This functionality is handled within SharePoint, not within Access or SQL Azure. Secure your SharePoint site collection as needed, and these security settings will apply appropriately to read and/or write operations by SharePoint users within your database. e.g. a SharePoint "visitor" (read-only access) will not be able to edit any data in your database - only view it.
What's the business language of choice? Not clear on how to edit and save macros. Can it make calls to web-services?
In Access 2013 Web Apps, VBA is no longer supported. Macros have to be written using the GUI "wizardy" macro interface, which greatly limits the scope of available operations. As a result, you cannot perform more complex tasks, such as making calls to external web-services. However, for basic data operations and UI operations, the GUI macro interface serves the purpose well.
Any way to change that obscure URL you get for the App in SharePoint 2013 Online?
The URL is randomly assigned when you create an Access 2013 Web App, but is guaranteed to never change after it is assigned. Therefore, you could reasonably use your DNS/web-host to "mask" the URL with a CNAME or other type of HTTP redirection. There are many ways to do this, and they are all external to SharePoint and Access 2013 Web Apps, so it's up to your DNS and web providers to support this.
