Everything works great on DispForm.aspx and NewForm.aspx, but I’m having a problem with the Page Editing Toolbar persisting when I modify EditForm.aspx using the &PageView=Shared&ToolPaneView=2 method.

The only other reference I’ve seen to this issue is here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-CA/sharepointcustomization/thread/e10ad027-c28a-43ab-8b48-bb02dc3ca782

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’ve spent quite a few hours researching this issue and it’s a bit frustrating b/c it works so beautifully on NewForm.aspx and DispForm.aspx.

Cheers,

This is the first thing I tried. From what I can see once I deselect it will do so but the Jquery script will run again immediately after and it will populate the box with a check box. Wouldn’t the line above just control whether the All Day Event Appears? What about behavior of the check attribute?

Hey Paul,

Just remove the line that hides it.

`$(’tr:has(span[title=All Day Event])’).not(’tr:has(tr)’).hide();`

That should allow the user to uncheck it.

Blessings,
Jim Bob

Jim,

This is great. However, the requirement is to have the All Day Event appear on the newform.aspx with the All Day Event box checked as this jquery will assist with. How can we modify so the user can deselect if need be? Right now it stay’s checked and you can unselect the check box.

Any assistance appreciated.

Wow! This is my first exposure to jquery… and… Wow!

Does it support regular expression work? This might be a way to segregate the time portion on the display form and kills it.

Ryan, this looks like what I’ve been struggling to find. I’ll give it a try. However, when I last tried to change the End Time to a new calculated time the workflow did not see in its menu areas the End Time. I’ll look again.

@Tom – not sure if this will help you but I’ve used a similar technique (JavaScript in CEWP) to set he default duration (EndTime = StartTime + 1.5 hours)

Hi Jim Bob,

You can hide a number of the columns permanently by editing the list settings, advanced settings, and changing allow management of content types to yes. Return to your list settings and then click on the content type (event, item, etc..), from there you will be able to edit properties such as required, optional, and hidden. That recurrance and workspace hiding code is a godsend though because for the life of me I can’t get those columns hidden!

[...] moot. But rather than trying to manipulate the “requiredness” (a term I coined in my last jQuery article) of the textbox, I wanted to fill in “N/A” for them on the rare and happy occasion they [...]

Jim Bob Howard,
You said in the script above:
“So, I hid the End Time and set up a workflow to copy the Start Time into the End Time on create. Since it defaults to [Today], its “requiredness” is satisfied by default”.

Can you share how the workflow is set up to copy the start time into the End Time? I want to something similar – copy a calculated field into the end time via a work flow.

Any hepl would be greatly appreciated, Jim Bob.
