SharePoint 2010 retrieving lookup values using ECMAScript

Script to retrieve single and multiple value lookup fields values using SharePoint 2010 Client Object Model for JavaScript (ECMAScript):


var listName = "list name here";
var listItemId = 23; // id here

function retrieveLookupValues() {
    var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
    var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle(listName);
    var selectedItems = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems();
    var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
    camlQuery.set_viewXml("< View >< Query >< Where >< Eq >< FieldRef Name='ID' / >< Value Type='Counter'>" + listItemId + "< /Value>< /Eq>< /Where>< /Query>< RowLimit>100< /RowLimit>< /View>");
    this.collListItem = oList.getItems(camlQuery);
    clientContext.load(collListItem, 'Include(CustomSingelLookupFld, CustomMultilLookupFld)');
    clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
}

function onQuerySucceeded(sender, args) {
 var listInfo = "";
    var listItemEnumerator = collListItem.getEnumerator();

    while (listItemEnumerator.moveNext()) {
        var oListItem = listItemEnumerator.get_current();
        // get single value LookupField:
        var oCustomSingelLookupFld = oListItem.get_item("CustomSingelLookupFld");
  listInfo += "oCustomSingelLookupFld.Value = " + oCustomSingelLookupFld.get_lookupValue() + " \t oCustomSingelLookupFld.Id = " + oCustomSingelLookupFld.get_lookupId();
  // get multiple value LookupField:
        var oCustomMultilLookupFld = oListItem.get_item("CustomMultilLookupFld");
  for(var ix = 0; ix < oCustomMultilLookupFld.length; ix++){
   listInfo += "oCustomSingelLookupFld[" + ix + "].Value = " + oCustomMultilLookupFld[ix].get_lookupValue() + " \t oCustomSingelLookupFld[" + ix + "].Id = " + oCustomMultilLookupFld[ix].get_lookupId();
  }
    }
 alert(listInfo);
}

function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
    alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message());
}

How to deloy InfoPath 2010 "Administrator-approved form template" to SharePoint 2010 programaticaly

Scenario: you've developed and InfoPath 2010 form. This form contains code that requires full trust, so you need to deploy it as a administrator-approved form template. This requires an farm administrator to check, upload and activate the form for the site collection. Solution:  to automate this operation I  created a farm level feature - w hen the feature is activated upload the form  programmatically and w hen the feature is deactivated remove the form  programmatically. Here is how I did it: 1. Create an Empty SharePoint Project and set it to be deployed as a farm solution 2. Add an Empty element item - EmptyElement1 . This will also generate a feature - Feature1 3.

Right click on the added form and click Properties:  - Deployment Type: ElementFile  - Deployment Location> Path: set it to blank 6. Open the generated featu...

SharePoint 2010 put back the "Set Up Groups for this Site" link

The " Set Up Groups for this Site " page has been, for some unknown reason, hidden in SharePoint 2010. The page is still there and it can be accessed here : /_layouts/permsetup.aspx .

You can create new SharePoint groups or re-use existing SharePoint groups." Location = "Microsoft.SharePoint.GroupsPage" GroupId = "SettingsMenu" Sequence = ...
