Error opening SharePoint calendar item

Posted on May 17, 2016December 1, 2019 by Iain 'Cutty' Carlin

“Item does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.”

Remove everything after the ID value in the url for the item, after and including the first dot. You can then use the view screen to delete the item.

Infopath form error when calling WCF service via SSL

Posted on April 14, 2015December 1, 2019 by Iain 'Cutty' Carlin

Interesting issue with a few Infopath forms. They’ve been working fine for ages using a WCF service to update another system.

When we changed our SharePoint site to use SSL, the form was generating an error when calling the WCF service. There were a number of factors at play:

  1. The WCF service was not configured correctly to have an SSL end point. By changing the binding configuration in the web.config for the web service, I was able to get the WSDL to display correctly using https when browsing to the service. However, the form still didn’t work AND the WSDL returned had the wrong URL (was the internal server name not the FQDN).

Calling lists web service fails when using SSL but works with HTTP

Posted on March 30, 2015March 30, 2015 by Iain 'Cutty' Carlin

Had an issue where a Data Form Web Part was calling a list service (asmx or svc) on a different site collection in order to expose data between the two sites.

It would work internally (using http), but once the page was loaded externally, we would get an error. Externally the site is loaded via https.

Trying the same page internally with https generated the same error.

Turns out the https site needs to be configured as an INTERNAL URL in Alternate Access Mappings in Central Administration. We had it configured as Extranet. It is possible to configure both https and http urls on the same default zone in AAM rather than in separate zones.…

Could not load the Web.config configuration file…the given key was not present…

Posted on February 24, 2015 by Iain 'Cutty' Carlin

Turns out I had https://… instead of http://…. as the URL property of the SharePoint project.

Sandboxed Solution – Only a site collection administrator can activate or upgrade

Posted on February 23, 2015 by Iain 'Cutty' Carlin

Was trying to deploy an event receiver to a site collection and received the error “Only a site collection administrator can activate or upgrade.”

Problem was that the user I was logged on to the development server with to deploy the solution was not a site administrator.…

SharePoint ASP.Net menus broken on Mac

Posted on February 18, 2015 by Iain 'Cutty' Carlin

Had a problem with our drop down menus displaying a blue link and not working but only on Macs, and then not on all of them.

Turns out IIS is not correctly determining the user agent for later Macs. The fix is here:

Page Layout drop down shows no layouts in Sharepoint 2010

Posted on September 26, 2014February 18, 2015 by Iain 'Cutty' Carlin

When trying to change a page layout, was seeing nothing.

Using browser developer tools I was seeing a javascript error, which with a bit of searching led me to this article: http://johnliu.net/blog/2010/12/22/sharepoint-2010-quick-fix-for-ribbon-page-layout-switch-java.html which solved the problem.

(Basically there are page layouts that are broken and cause the drop down not to display, removing non-used layouts fixes the problem).…

Infopath form – drop down field not updating with new values

Posted on May 11, 2013February 19, 2015 by Iain 'Cutty' Carlin

This one had me stumped for days. Infopath form with drop down field populated by internal values in the drop-down.

I needed to add one option, which I did and uploaded the form. I could see the version number updating on the form (I display that as a field) but the drop-down wouldn’t change!

Turns out I had a read-only and updatable versions of the form. The read-only version is displayed after the form has been submitted. I was editing the read-only version not the editable one that gets filled in. Doh!…
