282In a conversion project that I've been working on. Every time the data is ported over, a set of Site pages derived from a test template is copied and has to be modified. The templates must be changed so that the web parts point to different lists and libraries. There are approximately 100 Site Pages per template. Manually with two mice (one for each hand--not kidding), it takes me 3 hours to change them and verify the changes.
Each of the Site Pages requires changing two web parts. On one of the web parts, the change is always the same (basically, the same web part is in 100 web pages); the other varies according to the page.
I'm concentrating on the first web part. I've recorded the actions on the web recorder, and it almost works when I play it back. The steps are as follows with the first web part. 1) Get to the Page 2) Click "Edit" 3) Click on the web part 4) Click the pencil icon 5) Select the dropdown for lists and select my List 6) Change to view to a specific view 7) Click "Apply' to Web Part 😎 Publish the Page.
The problem is that the element's ID keeps changing for two pieces: the "Edit" button to edit the Web Page and the "pencil" icon to edit the Web part. I can't see where to edit the expression--maybe I can try some other jQuery expression to get to the Selector.
Any helpful hints?
