SharePoint - Write XSLT getting icon image for attachment link

-
I created an event receiver in MOSS that oncreate and onupdate item, save link of Attachment in a HyperLink Field, named Link1.

So I have a list of items, with direct link to document in attachment.

In web part, I want to show Icon of type of document, in the first column.
But there is no function to get "last index of" dot, in extension of file.

So I created the script below, getting last 5 chars in link (probably, the dot and the extension, as ".pptx"):

<img src='{concat('/_layouts/images/ic',substring-after( substring(substring-before(@Link1,','),string-length(substring-before(@Link1,','))-4,6),'.'),'.gif')}' />

So, if attachment is a 'pdf' file, it search for image at url "/layouts/images/icpdf.gif".

Of course, you have all icon image in /layouts/images, or you can create your custom folder for icons!

I created a simple Filter Web Part with a Content Editor WP and simple XLST to filter List/Library with the LIKE feature. It works for lists and libraries (in libraries not for Name field). Create a page with Library Web Part to filter. Then add a Content Editor Web Part end edit HTML Source. In HMTL, add an input textbox and two buttons, for reset filter and for submit filter. Add some script as shown below: <script type="text/javascript"> //this script get query string from URL function querySt(ji){   hu = window.location.search.substring(1);   gy = hu.split("&");   for (i=0;i<gy.length;i++){     ft = gy[i].split("=");     if (ft[0] == ji){       return ft[1];     }   } } //this script set value read from query string in input field function setValues(){    if(querySt('qtitle') != null && querySt('qtitle') != "")    {      document.getElementById('query_title').value = query

Sharepoint 2010 - Multilanguage Site - Show column in current language

In multilanguage site feature, Sharepoint 2010 does not translate content of web part and metadata. We have to find a way to show to user content or metadata in current language. I used a list with columns with content in language and a lot of jquery to show and hide columns for current language. I have a list with "DescriptionIT" and "DescriptionEN" columns. Then, I set a view with both columns visible. In this view, I added a content query web part whit code below. In this code, I search for current language, i.e. "Italian", then search for column with "DescriptionIT", and hide all columns but "DescriptionIT" (with name starting with "Decsription"). Result is that if I change language (with Select Display Language), I see only column in respective language. Simple and cross platform. Here the code: <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" type=&quo

Lets Start with creating a Ribbon button first. 1. Create a empty project. 2. Deploy it as a Farm solution. 3. Right click on the feature and click “Add feature”. 4.
