Adding an Image to a SharePoint discussion List:

My intention is to bring a Rating image in SharePoint threaded view before the “view properties”. I have some other functionality, I am trying to bring but I will discuss it once I am done with that.

What I am talking is please refer the below fig:


In the read box, I need my image. This screen is in the Threaded View of SharePoint discussion. This is a status bar and it will appear for each message.


I googled and binged but couldn’t find much help. Later I thought, how they are doing this and was viewing the source and found out the javascript being used in View Properties. I have seen something like that in Schema.xml and hence I went to that file and bingo… the javascript was there.

So I went and played with the schema.xml and I got it working. Under the Statusbar Field reference, display pattern, you need to add your stuff and it will display accordingly.

<1html><1![CDATA[_5" ONCLICK="RatingImageClicked(]]>

<1html><1![CDATA[,this)"/>
]]>



I added the above after the <1field Name="Attachments" /> under in schema.xml file.

If it helped someone, I will be glad. If you don’t get it let me know.

I have javascript to handle my functionality and you need the image. I didn’t provide that here.

PS: I have added 1 because the blog interprets the html tag and didnt show properly.

Why I like “Diary” Program in Hello FM 106.4

I like to listen to internet radio all the time. It is not only you listen to music, but also, you can get the news and listen to various people’s talk. I was a fan of Singapore radio till February 2009 (till now). After that I couldn’t listen to that station as they stopped broadcasting over the internet for various copyright issues. I really miss that station. However, one of my friend who is now in Australia, gave me the link to 106.4 Hello FM this September (09) and am listening to this radio. I like to listen to “Bigil” program by Suresh. He talks casually and he tries to figure out lot of different games. I couldn’t listen to much of it due to timing issue. I don’t miss Diary program by Girish. Girish your voice is, I think very suitable for that type of program and you did capitalize on it. Good job. I like this program for 3 reasons: 1) As I said before, it is because of Girish’s voice. I think this guy should be in his 25s. I can understand his feeling towards love...

Indian Police Cop

On Deepavali day of this year (17th October 2009), though it was like another day for us in USA, in the evening we went to a fair organized by the Irving County. This fair was completely free. I need to say something we like and enjoy the most in USA, especially in Irving, TX. It has so many beautiful parks. It has lot of recreational activity centers and most of the parks have these. All parks are meticulously planned for various activities. Ok coming to the fair, It had lot of activities like a small train ride for the kids along the lake, lot of jumping activities, sliding activities, balloon riding, bungee jumping, mountain climbing, face painting, magic shows, circus shows etc activities. It was a good evening for the kids. My main intention of this blog was not to just stop with the fun activities alone but to share an important event that happened that I thought lot of our Indian policeman and Government civilians can/should follow. There was a long queue for hot dogs (Am...

Lost my Scooter

I usually park my scooter in my apartment complex parking space. Since it is very cold during November to March, I don’t use my scooter much. So it was parked wherever I left. I usually notice my scooter every time I get out of my car; I park my car next to my scooter parking space. It was Christmas holidays and didn’t go out. Day before Christmas, it snowed for an inch. So, I was curious to see how my scooter was blanketed with snow. To my shock, I found another truck parked over there instead of my scooter and I checked around and couldn’t find my scooter. I called Police and informed them. For formality sake one Cop came to my apartment and gave me a report number and asked me to inform the insurance. Unfortunately, I don’t have theft insurance. So it is gone. I really feel bad for my lost. What to do?? I cannot buy another scooter now for various reasons… It is bad time and loosing lot of money!!!!
