New Post: SPrello Web Part not populating

Pentalogic — Mon, 20 May 2013 07:25:14 GMT

Many thanks for the feedback David - very useful. I'll make some time to look properly at this and the 2013 Aysnc - didn't find any problems when I gave it a quick test on 2013 but need to be more thorough.

Cheers...Ryan

Hey Ryan,

I really appreciate the information.

I used the development tools in Chrome to determine what on the page was throwing an error and found that SharePoint function used in a line of code was encountering an error, line 143 in the WebPart,.js file to be exact. I think the root cause of this error, from limited research online, is related to the new asynchronous actions SharePoint 2013 implements that weren't present in 2010 or previous versions. Basically, while the function is finding information, another asynchronous function executes and causes this one to encounter an error. To quickly get around this issue I just commented out that line of code and it works perfectly fine.

Just so it's known, I also ran into another issue when I started trying to use a custom view of my list. When this was implemented, I found that line 93 (the same kind of call found in line 143) of WebPart.js was also causing the same behavior, that being the cards would fail to draw or populate. Again commenting out this line eliminates the issue and allows the code to function properly without error and cards to populate from the list.

Looks to me like the source code for WebPart.js would need to be revisited to fully utilize the new asynchronous performance aspects of SharePoint 2013 functions. Something I would like to do but is beyond my technical skill-set and usage needs of the project.

Regards,
David

Just in case anyone finds it useful:

I got this working by using a custom view for my task list with a custom filter condition written using the SP CAML Query Helper. This isn't as easy as I thought it would be as it involves using the SP Designer to update the view, as the Filter GUI tools for an SP list don't let you create grouped filter conditions like this.

<Query>
    <Where>
        <Or>
            <In>
                <FieldRef Name="Status"/>
                <Values>
                    <Value Type="Text">Not Started</Value>
                    <Value Type="Text">In Progress</Value>
                    <Value Type="Text">Deferred</Value>
                </Values>
            </In>
            <And>
                <Geq>
                    <FieldRef Name="Modified"/>
                    <Value Type="DateTime">
                        <Today OffsetDays="-2"/>
                    </Value>
                </Geq>
                <Eq>
                    <FieldRef Name="Status"/>
                    <Value Type="Text">Completed</Value>
                </Eq>
            </And>
        </Or>
    </Where>
</Query>

The catch to this method is that if items are dragged into the "Completed" column (through Sprello), the adjacent “cards” will have their task items updated to change the Order field and thus update their Modified date, meaning they won't disappear for another 3 days. To work around this, you'd have to only mark items Completed by updating them directly in the list.

Hi Rhartka - thats something that you can do with a SharePoint View (though its not that obvious I'll admit) - then tell SPrello to use that view

As this question is a general SharePoint question (not specific to SPRello) I can't really help with it here (otherwise the volume of support would get out of control and codeplex doesn't put food on the table ;)

If you post your question here you will get a good answer

http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/

Make sure its generic enough about creating a SharePoint view rather than specific to SPrello otherwise they will just send you back here ;)

Cross post a link to your q and if someone doesn't help out in a day or two I'll see what I can do!

Cheers...Ryan

Hello! Sprello has been a wonderful addition to SP for us to track what a very small team is working on. I have a question about it using it with a simple Task List. We are using the default Status field (Not Started, In Progress, Completed, Deferred) to organize tasks with cards. The issue we're running into is the Completed items are starting to pile up. Is there a way to tell Sprello not to display Completed cards that are older than so many days? I tried configuring a view in the list but I couldn't find that capability with a view either.

Hi David,

The only thing I can do to help here is give a few pointers - you've made large changes to the project (VS2012/.NET4.5 etc) so the problem could be anywhere.

I would start looking into this by using the IE Developer toolbar to find out what JavaScript is erroring (and also try stepping through the functions line by line) and what the difference is between the normal/edit modes - that will give you some clues.

Good luck!...Ryan

Hello,

I recompiled the SPrello solution using VS 2012 to target version 4.5 of the .NET Framework and now everything builds and deploys fine.

However; I've now found that setup and configuration of the SPrello Web part on my Sharepoint 2013 sites goes fine and everything populates from my Custom List created but when I save the site after configuring the SPrello Web Part, the Web Part shows on the site page but does not populate with cards. Also, selecting the Add New Item also shows no action. Again, if I select to Edit the site, the Web Part then shows properly with the expected cards corresponding to my list.

This is not the case if a Calendar Web Part is also on the page, if this item also exists, then the cards do populate on the SPrello Web Part and the Add New Item option pops up the expected window for adding a new card.

I wonder if this has to do with a rendering issue or something with the Web Part. I found in the source code that the card objects are set with a default size of 200x600 pixels if I remember correctly. Can anyone shed some light as to what may cause this behavior or specific sections or components of the source I should investigate to determine the root cause?

Regards,
David

New Post: Error : Version conflict.

Pentalogic — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 10:07:53 GMT

Hi Thorizan - thanks for reporting that but its a very strange error that I've not been able to re-produce nor has anyone else reported the same so my first instinct is to wonder if the site collection thing is a red herring? (I just can't begin to imagine what would cause what your describing - site collections are totally independent of each other).

Can you take another look at this to determine if it may be something else.

Can you remove SPRELLO and then upload/activate it to another site collection - (one that is currently failing) - if its anything to do with the order then this one should now work and the others fail.
On the site collections that its failing on do you have any workflow/event receivers/auditing running that would make a modification to a list item after it was submitted
Are the list types and setups (including things like versioning/approval) identical in the failing and working site collections?

New Post: Error : Version conflict.

Thorizan — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 00:23:34 GMT

This is an excellent Solution, but I seem to have one issue with it.

Only on the original site collection to which I uploaded and activated this solution can I move multiple items without the need to refresh my screen between each.

All others behave like this:

The first item I move is fine ("Update succeeded...").
Every item after that, however, is not ("Error : Version conflict.").

I am perplexed.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I really love this webpart, very easy and nice to use.

As an additional development it would be amazing if it could include a filter/bread crumb that shows the different views availble from the SP List. This would then allow the user to switch between the differnt views of a list without having to create a page and webpart for each view.

Has anyone gotten SPrello working on Office 365? I'm getting an error trying to active the WSP. The error is "This solution references prohibited member 'System.Reflection.Assembly.GetCallingAssembly' and cannot be used on this site collection." I have an Office 365 E1 account.

Cheers,

New Post: Keep it all in the EditorPart

zergcow — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:36:41 GMT

Thought I would put this out there. I don’t think that this SPrello tool should go in a direction that requires a lot of setup by the user. I think this tool should remain independent from any list or library that it is used for. I bring this up for two reasons. First it already started down that path with the "order" column. In order to use ordering it is required that a user setup a order column yet none of that is explained much to the users. Secondly the thought of color coding the cards would be more easily accomplished via calculated columns and custom lists. This raises the entry level for the tool. Meaning users now have to have a good understanding of SPrello and SharePoint column types and how it all works together.

My suggestion is simple, keep all of it in the EditorPart for the WebPart. Don’t require any setup by the user in order to use the webpart. Make it easy on the user. An example would be using drop down combo boxes for the existing configurations instead of relying on the user to type the correct information in.
