Problem about using Metadata navigation with column filters together.

12/12/2014 Leave a comment

Hello,

Recently we have facing incidents for SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint Online about using “Metadata Navigation Filtering” with “Column Filters” together problem.
You can find more information how to setup “Metadata Navigation Filtering” for a list in details.
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Set-up-metadata-navigation-for-a-list-or-library-c222a75d-8b18-44e2-9ed8-7ee4e0d23cfc?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US#_Toc325632511

Well in our scenario; i have created a “departments” column as “Metadata Column” ( Which is using a term set behind )
Then configure the list -> List Settings->Metadata Navigation Settings and add “Departments” column to “Selected Hierarchy Fields” section.

Our default view looks like that.

 

Metadata1

We have selecting some record in “Metadata Navigation Panel” from left side of the page for filter by Metadata Navigation feature

metadata2 metadata3

And Selecting “ID” column to use “Column Filter” by selecting an item like “2” in example

Metadata4

And facing the problem it is not filtered correctly . Just order changed.

metadata5

We say “Metadata navigation works together with other filters for the list, such as views and column filters.”
But this is currently not supported (12/12/2013 SPS2013 Build:4675) in Client Side Rendering (CSR). By default the views render with client side rendering.
You can get more details about CSR if you are not familiar with it by below article.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj220045(v=office.15).aspx

The solution is very easy if you want to use them together ;
Edit the default page of the Document Library  ,
Edit Web Part – (the list view webpart)
Under “Miscellaneous” section mark the list view webpart as “Server Render”

metadata6MetaData 7

After you save the page (stop editing) again and test above filtering again;
You will see the Metadata navigation with column filters is working correctly :

Currently the webpart are rendered by Server and the problem is not happen.

TaxonomyWebTaggingControl – Sharepoint

23/09/2010 Leave a comment

Hi guys , in this article i will tell you how to use TaxonomyWebTaggingControl . First of all i assume that you already define your terms and terms sets in your sharepoint managed meta data service.This control help us that show and set this terms for various purpose. Msdn says “A TaxonomyWebTaggingControl object is a Web control that can be added to a page so that a user can pick one or more taxonomy Term object from a specific TermSet object or from an entire TermStore object.”

First we register control in our page definition.

<%@ Register Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"
    Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy" TagPrefix="cc1" %>

And control in the content like this

<cc1:TaxonomyWebTaggingControl ID="TaxonomyControl" runat="server" >
</cc1:TaxonomyWebTaggingControl>

At code behind we getting taxonomy store from metadataservice and set the control properties

Dont forget to add your libraries.

using Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
And your code here
SPContext context = SPContext.Current;
SPSite site = context.Site;
TaxonomySession session = new TaxonomySession(site);
TermStore termStore = session.TermStores["Managed Metadata Service"]; //if you a custom meta service you should change name.
Group group = termStore.Groups["MyGroup"];
TermSet productsTermSet = group.TermSets["Genders"];

.the code above just getting metadata objects from service via using taxonomy entities.

In my code i am usign UserProfileService which has a user property named “Gender” means “Male,Female” which is defined in metadataservice. I am going to set TaxonomyWebTaggingControl (ID: TaxonomyControl) and get value from this control.

Bind the control with entities

TaxonomyControl.SspId.Add(termStore.Id);

TaxonomyControl.TermSetId.Add(productsTermSet.Id);

TaxonomyControl.IsAddTerms = true;

TaxonomyControl.AllowFillIn = true;

TaxonomyControl.IsMulti = false;

Setting data to control with userprofile object:

…
string termName = service.GetUserPropertyByAccountName(loginName, ProfileProperties.Genders).GetSingleValue();// don’t worry about this line this is not in our concept.Just know this line getting value from UserProfileService as string.

TaxonomyControl.Text = string.Format(“{0}|{1}”, termName, productsTermSet.Terms[termName].Id.ToString());

TaxonomyWebTaggingControl has a propery named “Text” . You should set this property  “[Label] | [Guid]” format.
Set values into this control as pairs of labels and GUIDs. The delimiter between a label and a GUID is the | character. When using multiple values, delimit them with a ; character. Example: term1|12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012;term2|87654321-4321-4321-4321-210987654321

Getting data from control :

TaxonomyFieldValueCollection portfolioCountriesValues = new TaxonomyFieldValueCollection(String.Empty);

portfolioCountriesValues.PopulateFromLabelGuidPairs(TaxonomyControl.Text);

profile[ProfileProperties.Genders].Value=  portfolioCountriesValues[0].Label;

We are using TaxonomyFieldValueCollection class that help us parsing data.

Happy codding…
