I'm not sure if it's possible to do what I'm hoping, but maybe I'll get lucky. It has to do with setting form fields in a SharePoint 2010 list, using InfoPath forms.
Basically, I have one list with requests from several vendors. Each vendors has their own requests page which is a Web Part Page with one web part: a list of submissions with a custom view applied that filters it only to them. This is a (clunky but functional) way to ensure each vendor only sees their own requests. To submit a new request, they click on the "Add Item" link at the bottom of the list web part. At this point, a customized InfoPath form pops up, and they add their request.
In the form, one of the fields is "Vendor". What I would like to achieve is to have the InfoPath form read something on the page which tells it which vendor's page it was called from and pre-select that vendor (I could then disable the control so they couldn't change it). I am happy to alter the calling page as needed, or to configure the InfoPath form (can you custom-configure GET or POST values or anything to define a field that way?).
Any help would be very appreciated.

via TypoScript i generate a HTML-Table and on every line i add the same formular (tx_form formular) via RECORDS. The form can be opened in a lightbox and all is fine but when i submit one of these, all forms will be submit and i receive 16 mails.
How can i separate the forms? RECORDS is needed because i build the table in TypoScript and so i can update the form in the backend and all forms on the page are updated.
Is there a parameter which i can set unique via TypoScript for every record so every form is technical a single form?
I would use some javascript to iterate over the forms and make them unique.
As this might conflict with the secutrity mechanism from TYPO3 you alternatively can use javascript to remove other than the currently clicked form from the page. This might need a reload from the page if you have no special answer page for the form.
I want an spfx made webpart that I've made be able to send an email (I'm using IEmailProperties at the moment) which provides a link to a modal form?
For example:
User clicks button in webpart, form loads.
User fills out form and submits it to SP list.
Form sends email on submission. Email has a link to the actual item created, so when the user clicks the provided email link, it opens up the modal form.
I would presume that the user would HAVE to be sent to the SP page where the webpart is unconditionally, but would it be possible to open up the modal corresponding to the SP list item?
Is this feature available in SharePoint framework, because if it isn't, compared to something like InfoPath 2013 or PowerApps it's quite a limitation.
I've researched this with several shallow Google searches and on gitHub for any premade stuff, but alas there is nothing that I've spotted.
I've been told IT IS possible:
"Yeah, they’d have to visit the page. Email clients don’t do JavaScript so you can’t really do interactive stuff there. If you want to take them directly to a page that then displays a modal, that’s plenty possible though. (e.g. display the modal based on if the URL contains a certain string)"
But wouldn't know how to do the above, can anyone start me on the right path?

In the email, pass a query string containing the item ID/list ID etc of the item, then have the webpart read the See: How can I get query string values in JavaScript? If your values exist. If they do exist, then open the modal using some kind of framework like bootstrap or fluent UI. You can write your own form using PnPjs or use an iframe potentially to display the OOTB edit form.
Additionally, you can link to any page in SharePoint provided you use an extension instead of a webpart to host the modal. You can install extensions tenant wide, and have it listen for the query string.
So here's the situation and I cannot figure out how to accomplish it.
I have a content type called "Alert". Each instance of this content type needs to have a webform (really just a submit button with hidden fields), that users click to acknowledge they have read and understand the alert. Ideally once submitted, the form should be replaced with a message along the lines of "You have marked this alert as read."
I do have a webform created (displaying as a block to be able to place within the variant page set up for the Alert type) and can get it to appear on each instance, but users can submit multiple times on each alert (submissions are set to unlimited as if i set it to 1 submission per user, the form does not render after the first submission on any alert). Additionally, once they click on one instance of the form, every additional instance will result in a message stating they have already submitted the form.
So I really have two issues. First, and most importanlty, allow a single submission per node (without the "already submitted" notice). Second, not required but would be nice, once it has been submitted for a specific node, the form no longer renders on that node for that particular user. Anyone have any ideas on the best way to accomplish these two aspects?
I'm running on Drupal 7.56, using the AT_Panels_Everywhere theme, Webform module Version: 7.x-4.15.
In drupal 7, with webform 7.x-4.0, you can enable webforms within a content type. To do so:
Go to Structure > Content Types
[Respective content type] > Edit
In the bottom left section, find the Webforms Tab and choose Enable webforms for this content type.
Based on your use case, I'd recommend enabling that and installing the node clone module. Then you can make one alert node, setup the webform, limited to one submission per user and allow content managers to clone content. That node can serve as a template.
I'm looking at some code which has broken the saving of changes of a List item in SP2010. In the constructor of the Event Receiver the HttpContext is being stored as a local variable then in the ItemUpdating at the end a query parameter containing the return url is retrieved and passed the SPUtility.Redirect(...). This has the effect of canceling any changes that were made in the edit form. So following so scenarios I've found online I'm storing the HttpContext as a static class object and redirecting in the ItemUpdated event and edits are now persisted followed by a redirect to where we are expecting.
I have a concern though with storing a specific user's HttpContext as a static on a class which will potentially be hijacked if another user does the same action between the time user 1 sets the context initially and prior to the redirect. User 2 will overwrite the context and there are potential issues.
The only other option I can think of as a quick way out would be to store a static Dictionary where the key is the user id then remove the entry just prior to redirecting so as to not leave stray HttpContext instances leaking.
So looking at the accepted solution from here the first response by servy42 states The fact that it works for a few trivial test cases at first doesn't make it a viable solution. but doesn't suggest a viable solution.
There's another option best approach may be changing Save Button in ribbon such that when clicked, a ECMA script first save your Item, then redirect to other page, or open other page in dialog. suggested further down but is that the only other way to go?
I'm fairly new to SP and just trying to navigate through the wealth of wrong ways of doing things with my limited knowledge, whilst unfortunately being stuck with SP2010.
Any thoughts on how to go about this?
============
Edit: Further info as requested
So there are two sites one say called A which will have a sub site called B. A has a List and adding an item to that list triggers event receivers which creates sub site B and other related stuff. If I modify the B "item" from the SharePoint list of Bs then I don't need to redirect and returning to the list is fine. If I'm looking and a neatly rendered Gantt chart on A listing the Bs the if I edit B after clicking Save we need to come back to A. If I'm on B there's an edit button as well so I want to return to B after editing and clicking save.
So we have the source= appended when we go to the edit screen. From some reading I've done it seems SharePoint will pick that up and redirect. One of the fields on the edit page is the relative url beneath the A site and if that changes then the redirect url will no longer be valid and throw a 404 so we replace the old B sub path with the newly entered value. But we then need code to redirect to the new location.
I am not quite sure whether i understand your requirements correctly. But i will give it a try. Just a quick summary of what i understood (correct me if i am wrong...):
You have a Root Web in a site collection with a list
Each entry in that list corresponds to a subsite which will be created on List Item creation (ER) below the Root Web as a subsite
List items can be edited from both the List in the root web as well as from the subsite it maps to
On editing from the subsite you want to return to the subsite after saving
My approach would be this:
Follow the steps described in this article SP Dialog and List Forms
Open a dialog on the subsite that links to the edit form of the root web.
After saving the user finds himself already where he should be
Hope this helps... Cheers!
Edit: Just read the requirement about changing of url. Create a custom Edit Form which you enhance with some js that passes values back to the origin site -> Parameters in dialogs. You may then react accordingly in the javascript callback and redirect to the new url.
My request is simple.
I want to put a form (a text field let's say) on a Sharepoint page, with a submit button.
When i submit, I want the URL to be reposted with the s="textfromtextfield".
Say i was on a url http://site/site.aspx?p=x clicking submit will take me to:
http://site/site.aspx?p=x&s="textfromtextfield"
If this button "is completely yours" and not one of sharepoint controls you might try writing the following code on the button click handling method on the server side.
Page.Response.Redirect(newUrl, true);
More than likely you want to open the page in SharePoint Designer and add/play with form actions. Check this page for details (rather than attempt to communicate it step by step):

FYI. SharePoint Designer is now free for download from Microsoft.
If you have never edited a form in SharePoint Designer, this may help:
