Hi Alex,
I’m looking for a decent lightbox / slideshow to display a picture gallery (with thumbs & hopefully captions!) I found one a while back and I’ve lost it again. I don’t think it was originally from here, but I am positive I saw something on this site which directed to that solution. Had good look through here and can’t seem to find it.
Can you point me in the right direction please or equally do you have a solution?
As you were.. I found it http://en.share-gate.com/blog/image-slider-with-sharepoint-2013-search-results
Hi Alex,
I have a SharePoint 2013 (The Cloud version) custom list where 1 column is a text field where contact numbers are keyed in. How can I get SharePoint to highlight duplicate values in that column so that every time a new item is added to the list, I’ll know if the contact number has been used previously?
In the list settings you can enforce unique values in the “edit field” settings. This is out out of the box functionality.
Alexander
Hi Alexander,
Your blog is very helpful all the way.
