I have a Publishing Portal site and I need to add some announcements to some of the pages. I've read an article which says that i have to create an announcement list to be able add an announcement web part but i can't seem to find any resources on how i can add an announcement list.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
TIA!
Your problem is that you have not activated the relevant feature on the site settings page. You need to go to the site collection site settings page. Then select Site Actions - manage site features
Then activate the feature called Team Collaboration lists. You will now be able to create an announcement list
From the home page of your site (or from any page really) you should see a "View All Site Content" link on the top of the navigation menu.
View All Site Content http://friendfeed.s3.amazonaws.com/86fed07f0809beefaeeaee0013ee2b952079bc09
Click on that link and it will show you a dashboard listing all of the SharePoint lists that have been provisioned for the current site. Click on the Create button to create a new SharePoint list.
Create new SharePoint List http://friendfeed.s3.amazonaws.com/6c0b244801826f8b3ee01811211b88668ba8f713
From there you will see the option to create an Announcments list (under the Communications header). Complete the wizard to complete the list.
Once the list is created you can select Edit Page from the Site Actions menu on any SharePoint page in the site and then select a "Add a Web Part" on the web part zone you want to put your Announcements web part into. You should now see a web part listed with the same name as your Announcements list that you just created.
Select that web part to add it to the page and display.
Hope that helps. If this isn't the answer to your problem leave a comment or update your question with clarification and I will try to help.
Giving you direct instructions on how to create the list would most likely leave you more lost than ever. If this is a publishing portal, there's a lot more to learn beyond just creating a list. Content must be approved, and is versioned. I'd strongy advise you not to start poking around in there as you run a large risk of messing up the portal. Don't get stressed by people demanding you perform such things without having received any training. Grab yourself a coffee, flip your boss the finger and watch some pertinant webcasts on http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointserver/FX101211721033.aspx
Hope this helps,

I'm having a bit of trouble with Django again.
I have a simple e-commerce website project that I'm working on for my graduation. It sells books. I've got basic functionalities down, such as adding categories and products, client sign-ups and logins, a session-based shopping cart, a checkout page fully connected to a payment API, and an orders model to keep track of data.
My professor has asked me now to to add relevant reports in the Admin panel, talked to me a while about what would be relevant to see and all. So, I've got in mind what I'm hoping to make.
I want to have two containers in the main dashboard page, which would display some quick analytics (like, how many books the store has sold in the past seven days, how much money from sales the site has made in the past month), as well as links in the sidebar: I want each relevant app within my project to have their own reports section in the Admin panel, maybe led to from a link underneath their models. I've separated the storefront, accounts, orders, shopping cart, and checkout, for instance, in different apps
The problem is I can't really figure out how to actually... do that...
I've fiddled with the layout and templates on the admin; I've figured out how to add custom links to the admin page, and change its design elements, for instance. But I'm not sure how to link the data I want to the dashboard. It feels like the answer is right in front of me and I can't reach it...
I guess my question is, how can I add my reports to the Django admin page per app, and how can I add these containers that I want in the dashboard?
I've guessed that I have to start out by building a view for each report. So I am currently reading the Django docs on the Admin page again, as well as looking at questions similar to mine.
But any information y'all can share that could ease up this process and save me some time would be very much appreciated. Thanks so much!
PS: If it helps, I am overriding the admin templates by having all the .html pages copied on my project's templates folder - it's how I got it to display the store's header in the admin dashboard.
I have created a list of around 443 items
I have set item limit to 1 so that it shows one item at a time
Now to create a quiz
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.

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.

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

I found a solution for my requirement. I had used XsltListViewWebPart for displaying announcement list in custom application page. I would like to thank everyone who offered me their advice thanks a lot.
The following link did it for me

The start-up i currently work for is oriented around restaurant wait times. For our v1.25 specifications our clients -restaurants- that have Facebook pages want to be able to communicate to their app profile from their Facebook page.
The closest i have came to answering this question is the Graph API. However, the Graph API only allows us to read and write data to FB pages. So, is there a way for a restaurants FB page to write to its app profile? Secondly, Loso, whom we have modeled some of our designs from has this ability, does anyone have an idea as to how they have done it?
--Boris M.
Here is an option that you can consider...
When you are designing the app you can also develop a page tab to go with it...
You will find this option in the basic settings of the app.
You can make it to install for all first time users of your app, by getting a list of all his pages he created using that profile then install it on the one he selects.
This page tab when installed on a page will appears just where other tabs on the page appers(e.g. events, notes etc. occurs)
You can provide your required functionality on this tab as you like.
Thus the user can just select that tab on the page and use its functionality to post on the profile page of the app.
Hope this works for you... and also u can check out the jobcaster app it does something like that!
