I had a requirement where my customer wants me to display the list item attachment to the "Request Data" form of Nintex workflow.

when a task will be created for first user, he/she should be able to see the attachment tag to the list item. I am not sure if there are many ways to do that, but after checking the nintex website, I found the below solution and found it workable for my case.

Please click on the below link and see the full details about how can you achieve this.

Date Format using javascript

Below is the code to change different format of date using a javascript. If you have a date in a string format, you can use the string functions of javascript to give any format you want.

I have a date format which is in m-d-yyyy format and I want to change it in dd-mm-yy format.

$(document).ready(function()

{

var vArticledate=$("#datefield").text();

var dt = vArticledate.split("/");

var iMonth=dt[0];

if(iMonth.length<2)

iMonth="0"+iMonth;

var iDay=dt[1];

if(iDay.length<2)

iDay="0"+iDay;

var iYear=dt[2];

iYear = iYear.substring(iYear.indexOf("0")+1,iYear.length);

document.getElementById('datefield').innerHTML = "<b>"+iDay +"-"+iMonth+"-"+iYear+" </b>";

})

</script>

How to Hide fields on NewForm.aspx and EditForm.aspx, the easy way

To hide fields in a SharePoint 2007 form, follow these steps (I will use the NewForm.aspx in my example)

1. Open SharePoint Designer and navigate to the site that contains the list or document library you wish to customize.
2. Expand the folder named “Forms” under the desired list or document library. You should see about seven .aspx pages (AllItems.aspx, EditForm.aspx, NewForm.aspx, etc)
3. Open the NewForm.aspx page and switch to the “code” view to edit the HTML of the page.
4. Paste the JavaScript code immediately below the the following HTML tag This will add the JavaScript to the HTML inside the content placeholder tag. Note: be sure to include the entire script below, including the script tags.
5. Modify the “hidefields()” section of the JavaScript code to refer to each SharePoint list field name to hide. For example, the code sample below will hide the SharePoint fields named Title, Document Link, and PublishDate Notice that you do not need to worry about internal field names or field types like other JavaScript techniques, you simply need to know the name of the field.
6. Save the changes. Select “Yes” when prompted to “…customize the page from the site definition…”
7. Test the form

Start Script Tag

script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"

_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("hideFields");

function findacontrol(FieldName) {

var arr = document.getElementsByTagName("!");
// get all comments
for (var i=0;i < arr.length; i++ )
{
// now match the field name
if (arr[i].innerHTML.indexOf(FieldName) > 0)
{ return arr[i]; }
}
}

function hideFields() {

var control = findacontrol("Title");
control.parentNode.parentNode.style.display="none";
control = findacontrol("Document Link");
control.parentNode.parentNode.style.display="none";
control = findacontrol("PublishDate");
control.parentNode.parentNode.style.display="none";

}
Close script tag
