SharePoint 2010: Upload multiple photos is missing

If you wanna upload multiple photos or suppose multiple documents and if the option is missing then don’t worry as it’s a simple issue and resolution too.

Problem description:

Upload multiple photos is missing in upload dialog box

Resolution:

Upload Multiple Files is missing when you don't have any local Office clients installed.  Here's the list of requirements to see that option:

1.      The 32 bit version of Internet Explorer. The 64 bit version does not support it and neither do other, non IE, browsers.

2.      The STSUpld.UploadCtl IE add-in must be enabled.

3.      Office 2003 /Office 2007 / Office 2010 / Office 2013 or newer on the client

4.      Client integration will need to be enabled for the web app.

Why it's required? Here is the reason- There is an ActiveX control that is used to support multiple file uploading - that ActiveX control is installed with office.

That’s it – once you install any of the client (i.e. any office version as listed above – step#3) then your issue will be resolved.

TypeError: Unable to get property 'indexOf' of undefined or null reference

If you upload an image to a SharePoint Online picture library then you will get the following:

TypeError: Unable to get property 'indexOf' of undefined or null reference

It’s difficult to troubleshoot the issue but let me jot down the a quick workaround steps so you don’t have to waste your time J

Workaround: Turn on Compatibility View for all webpages

1. Right-click the window header and select Command Bar.
2. Click Page, and then click Compatibility View Settings.
3. Check the "Display all pages in Compatibility View", and click Close.

It seems that this is a known issue but I don’t have a concrete fix at this moment but will definitely share once I find it. Thanks for reading this article!

The list cannot be displayed in Datasheet view

SharePoint and office are the most used components when you start working in an office. Almost 90% of our documents are in office compatibility so it’s quite obvious that they have to work with SharePoint without any issues and if you start facing issues then it’s quite annoying!

Environment details:-

·         SharePoint 2010

·         Office 2013

·         Windows Server 2008 R2

Here is the error message that I am talking about:

The list cannot be displayed in Datasheet view for one or more of the following reasons:

- A datasheet component compatible with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation is not installed.

- Your Web browser does not support ActiveX controls.

- A component is not properly configured for 32-bit or 64-bit support.

Resolution:

To resolve this you need the following data connectivity component installed: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23734

 Although this says 2007 and therefore looks like an odd install in relation to 2010 SharePoint it resolves this data sheet issue.

Imp Notes:

The Edit in Datasheet view functionality in SharePoint Server 2010 is not supported if you install 64-bit Office 2013 client. The Edit in Datasheet functionality is available if you install 32-bit Office 2013 client.
