Display an icon in search results page in MOSS 2007 to indicate pictures in the list item

The custom list had a column called as Snapshots which was of the type Hyperlink or Picture.
The need was to customize the search results page to display an indicator for list items with images.
To do so, go to SSP - Search Settings - Metadata properties - New Managed property
In the New Managed Property window, do the following-
Enter the property name and select the property type as text
In Mappings to crawled properties - select 'Include values from a single crawled property based on the order specified'
Click on Add mapping and find the custom list column and click Ok
Click OK on the managed property window.
Then Do a full crawl
Edit the search results page and edit search core results webpart
In Result Query option - selected columns, add the custom column
In the XSL editor - add the following
<xsl:variable name="Customicon">
<xsl:value-of select="<enter the column name>" />
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="string-length($Customicon)!=0">
<img class="image" src="<path of the custom icon image>" alt="" />
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
To hyperlink the icon add a href tag before image
Click Apply and OK on the Search Core Results Webpart. Checkin and publish the page, to see the changes.

How to link to Download a copy option in Office 365/SharePoint 2013

At times it is required to have the option to save a copy of a document uploaded in SharePoint document library, in a page or a webpart. The url to get the save option for a doc is - http:// site /_layouts/download.aspx?SourceUrl= url-of-document-in-library Change the bold text with the actual url, i.e., with the site url and the url to the doc in the doc library. For example, if the site is www.contso.com and the doc "Test" is uploaded in SiteAssets library, the url to save a copy would be - http://contso.com/_layouts/download.aspx?SourceUrl=http://contso.com/SiteAssets/Test.docx

Redirect to a desired page on click of submit/ cancel button in infopath form

By default, when a user clicks on Submit/Cancel button, the InfoPath list form redirects to the AllItems.aspx page of the list. Instead of redirecting the user to the default view of list, to redirect it to the desired page, append the URL of the InfoPath form with &Source=redirect-url http://xyzportal/..../xyzform.xsn&DefaultItemOpen=1 &Source=redirect-url Also, make sure that in the button properties, in the "Browser Forms" tab, "Always" option is selected.
