Is there a way to move items or folders around in a SharePoint 2010 list? Either in Designer or SharePoint? I have a single list, with multiple levels of folders and items within those folders. Can I move an item and/or folder containing items to a different folder within that list without being required to delete the items and/or folder and manually recreate the item/folder in the new desired location? It seems like that would be desirable functionality for list maintenance.
Open your list in Windows Explorer. In the Ribbon on the Libary tab in "Connect & Export" - "Open with Explorer. I than add it to my favoirites so I do not have to go into SharePoint
Have you tried using the Manage Content and Structure tool:

If possible, you can try some third-part tools such as BoostSolutions list transfer, hope it can help you to solve this issue.

we have a SharePoint Online site and we have a document library in it. We are using IE 11 and Chrome for browsing and working on the site.
In this document library we have several folders. Each folder has multiple document sets. We are able to drag and drop files inside the document library (top most level), and also we are able to drag and drop files inside the folders.
However, we are not able to drag and drop files inside the document set.
Any idea on what might be causing this issue? Or am I missing something here?
We resolved it by changing the webpart Chrome Property to "None". It worked but still feels weird.
I am using Sitecore 8.1 and Glass mapper ORM. In page editor mode, I have a link field which can be linked to news article page. The folder structure is
News/News article. News folder is of type Bucket and article is bucketable item.
When I am trying to insert link from other pages to the actual news article I am unable to find search box or expand items under news. Is there any way I can insert link to the news article? Appreciate any help! Thanks in advance.
You have 2 options:
In the content editor in the view ribbon you can enable "Buckets". This will make all bucket items visible again (the bucket is expanded and all folders and items can be seen in the tree). This setting is taken into account in the "insert link" window as well.
Use the search tab in the "insert link" window (normally you should have 3 tabs (link, media items, search). The search tab will let you find the bucketed items as well, but also others - it is not restricted to a bucket.
Edit:
After trying this myself, I noticed that if you edit the link field within the experience editor the search is indeed not provided (not even with the general link with search field). In the content editor the search is present.
A workaround is option1, or use an EditFrame. But I would contact Sitecore Support as well and ask them to add this - I'll do it too.
Edit2 : issue has just been registered as a bug. If you need a fix without waiting for a solution in a future version, you can ask Sitecore Support.
I could not find any option to attach a file with 'Discussion Board' list item in SharePoint 2013. I have confirmed from Advanced Settings of this list that 'Attachments to list items' option is enabled.
There is a change in SP2013 and you cannot add attachment to the item the same way as in 2010. In SP2013 you add an attachment directly to Body field using option in Ribbon (Insert | Upload file).
When uploading a file, by default, files will be stored in SiteAssets library, however you can choose different one if you want.
I'm trying to implement a list where the only item type is a folder. If someone click "New" they are brought to a form that allows them to enter a folder name, description, and select either "Active" or "Inactive" from a drop-down menu. Inside the folder I want a simple list with only 2 columns.
I tried making a custom Folder content type with the columns I needed and making it the default content type. This seems to work to make the list of folders. Once I go inside the folder and try to change the internal view/list setting (I don't want to use the custom folder content type inside the folder...i just need 2 simple columns) it changes the settings for the list of folders as well. Is there any way for the internal list to have different settings than its parent?
I don't know if this issue is still relevant, but maybe someone else will find my answer useful.
I used to implement a list that contains only folders in the root, which in order can contain few item based content types.
There was two event receivers for FeatureActivated and ItemAdded events, which changes UniqueContentTypeOrder property (the list of content types available for user to create) of the lists root folder and a folder being created respectively. Like this:
List<SPContentType> ctl = new List<SPContentType>();
foreach (SPContentType ct in lst.ContentTypes) if (ct.Id.IsChildOf(SPBuiltInContentTypeId.Folder)) ctl.Add(ct);
lst.RootFolder.UniqueContentTypeOrder = ctl;
lst.RootFolder.Update();
Also, I designated different available list views for root folder and the folders it contains, by specifying ContentTypeID attribute for a View definition.
Unfortunately, no. Since SharePoint is Lists are not relational data, the only options to you are allowing several Content Types. If a content type is available to the list, it's available to the entire list (root, and sub-folders).
One possibility to model what you are trying to accomplish relies on SharePoint 2010 Enterprise. Infopath allows you to customize the New Item Form for a List. It might be possible to edit the form such that it only allows Folders on the Top Level, and List Items within a folder, but I don't know for sure - it's been a while since I customized a List Form with Infopath.
Is it possible to obtain a list of all the items in sitecore that is using common sublayout or XSLT's in presentation tab for rendering i.e. suppose there is sublayout called layout1.ascx that is being used by 5 items.is it possible to obtain the list of all these 5 items by search method.
Thanks in advance.

You probably need to do this in two steps (or one if it's only 1 template).
You need to use the Link database.
The simplest way of seeing these "links" is to go to the Sublayout or Rendering and go to the "Navigation" menu and then click on "Links". This should show you all the items that point to this current item and all the items that the current items points to (ie. both ways).
This will probably give you a list of templates and/or items (if the sublayout is set directly on an item).
Then go to a template and see how do the same to see which items are have a refernce to the template.
This should show you which items are using which sublayouts.
Of course this requires the Link database is up to do (should be done automatically, but you can force this with Start > Control Panel > Databases > Rebuild Link Database) and that the Sublayouts etc are bound in Sitecore..
I hope this helps.
The Link database suggestion is great, but if your sublayout is used by hundreds of items, it may take a little while to load.
Another alternative is this fast query:
fast://*[#__Renderings='%{FAAD00AE-A089-4AEF-989C-73917660FF48}%' or #__Final Renderings='%{FAAD00AE-A089-4AEF-989C-73917660FF48}%']
This can be run in the developer center, under Tools > XPath Builder (or for Sitecore 8.x the XPath Builder can be found at /sitecore/shell/default.aspx?xmlcontrol=IDE.XPath.Builder).
Sitecore 9.x no longer supports the XPath Builder, but you can still run this if you install the Sitecore PowerShell Extensions.
The following command can be run:
Get-Item -Path "master:" -Query "fast://*[#__Renderings='%{FAAD00AE-A089-4AEF-989C-73917660FF48}%' or #__Final Renderings='%{FAAD00AE-A089-4AEF-989C-73917660FF48}%']"
Change the guid above as needed.
