Hi Larry:
Long time, no email. I was re-reading your cool compliance solution on Christophe’s blog and was wondering if you knew of a way to roll-up or show the totals from a grouped list in a summary fashion where the user cannot expand a group. I’m looking for something akin to Chris Quick’s summary box in https://www.nothingbutsharepoint.com/sites/eusp/Pages/sharepoint-performing-aggregate-counting-for-an-issues-list.aspx.
Too often, managers want to see the summary, not the details, and a simple table with the totals would be great. Can you think of a way to accomplish this without getting into xsl rtemplating?
Thanks-
Charlie Epes

I have a problem with sharepoint survey’s checkboxes. Can you post a guide on how to limit the number of selections of the checkbox in a sharepoint survey?
You help is much appeciated.

Sorry I have been busy. I will take a look at this tomorrow and post a response as soon as I can.

Larry, I have all my training material across 9 job types built on the wiki format. It is ideal for our needs, we include a lot of pictures and processes change often, so we are able to edit on the spot, and we title and create links in multiple ways to hit as many people as possible. I love the wiki, the staff love the wiki, it is here to stay. We ‘bucket’ our information across the top, creating ‘buttons’ which are just colored graph cells pasted in from Word to topics and then link specific notes behind those topics, but then we also list out all topics in alpha order below the buckets. This way we hit everyone no matter how they think. The alpha lists are getting long, I’d love to give them a way to jump through the alphabet when they know the topic they need right away. I think what I need is a way to post that simple anchor code in, but confuse the wiki to think that it is really on the Home page at save and not on /EditForm.aspx?ID=1 – since it reverts to that page when I try to use any anchors I place, requiring me to replace all the code to get them to work.

Oh, and in re-reading your post again, I’m simply trying to link within the wiki page itself, not go outside the wiki page. I want to have an A-Z across the top and then link down to the corresponding letter section of the wiki list. I agree the wiki has problems, but I’ve gotten really good at using it and I put everything in wiki format. I’m just missing this one piece that plagues me.

I think I undersstand your request. You need bookmarks, is that correct? They changes things. Let me do some more testing.
June 16, 2010 at 9:55 am
Yes, bookmarks! It would revolutionize my set up!! It is so frustrating because I can get it to work in a CEWP, but that wiki saves it as relative links. The CEWP doesn’t save to relative, so I can’t even paste it out of there and into the wiki. Thank you!! Any help – even without a solution is appreciated!

Larry, in another search I did find this: http://www.pratie.com/playground/misc/wikianchor.asp
I can’t follow the post, it looks to me like I would need Designer, alas, my hands are tied on that one. Would it be possible to do this kind of thing without Designer?

Hey Again Kerri, This is what I found out about Bookmarks and Sharepoint wiki
Wiki pages support Bookmarks in HTML.
But you need to edit the HTML source when edit the wiki content.
Suppose you had a wiki page named Bookmarks, here is HTML code sample for your reference.
I you could provide me a couple of samples I will create a mock up.

when I say example. I am looking more about the page layout. You must have long documents, right? Are you linking to titles within the doc, or to specific wtext that appears randomly?

SharePoint: Wiki Bookmarks Part 2. Should be real close to what you are looking for. Let me know if you have any questions

Larry, I have a request. For years I’ve tried to come up with a generic way of creating anchors in a wiki so that the code could be used across sites. The problem with the WYSIWYG editor is that it modifies the code to relative links, linking me back to the edit page instead of the .aspx. No SPDesigner. Here is the direction I’ve been testing:
[A
B
C
D
D
A
B
C]
I just want an A-Z across the top to come in with the hyperlinks and then I want to move the linked letters to where they go corresponding with the spot in the wiki. Simple except for the Wiki editor. It works in a CEWP, but is a train wreck in wiki. Is this anything you might want to tackle?

Hi Kerri,
Are you required to say with the Wiki pages? I know the wiki creates new pages similar to views in a list. I know of a tabs script, but not sure of its results on wiki. I will look into a solution.
June 14, 2010 at 9:26 am
Kerri,
I have done some research and I have a few more questions. Why is the wiki needed? the reason I ask is I never liked how the wiki play well with other SP content. Looking the the organization you mentioned we have created glossarys and used a tabbed interface to link to the specific content. I have also developed an InfoPath form that automatically creates a web output for users that do not have infopath. We use this content for training our phone agents. then while on the phone they use SP to navigate to the specific content they need based on the call.
Although we are dealing with thousands of documents, we break them down by a taxonomy, which allows us multiple tabbed views.
Playing with the wiki I was able to achieve to results. I was not happy with either.
first result I was able to insert a table across the top, which allowed me to insert my alpha links. There is much manual work to do this and maintain this. In the long term I do not believe this is a good solution.
I was also able to create a webpart page, add jquery UI interface and link out to the wiki pages. Including some css I was able to get most of the page to look fairly clean, but again in the liitle time I played with it I was not happy with the final result.
Maybe if you could expalin what you are trying to achieve I may be able to intorduce a better solution.

I have posted a simple work around here:
SharePoint: Wiki Bookmarks
I’m still looking for a more robust solution. When time permits i will look into it more.
