Sample Visual Studio 2010 project for creating a custom SharePoint 2010 Ribbon tab on runtime (!)

Posted on by

The related articles on my blog are:

I wanted to create a sample project to show you who you can create a custom SharePoint 2010 Ribbon tab at runtime! – Especially: How to active the custom ribbon tab on “page loaded” (no need to click it!) So this article is an addition to my explanations in my previous article “How To Activate SharePoint Ribbon Tab by JavaScript Code”.

You can download the project from Codeplex:

http://spcustomribbondemo.codeplex.com

You are invited to download / update / improve the project! – I’d like to insert more samples in the project about how to deploy Ribbon customizations. In the sample I created a ribbon in a custom list view web page. (You’ll see in the code).

To use the project you need a SharePoint web application named “http://sharepoint.local” and a site collection named “ribbon”.

Deploy the project.

Open the SharePoint site and it’s list in your browser.

You’ll see:

This tab is actived automatically on page load!!!

The source code of my project is inspired by some blog post of this people:

These are the steps of development I’ve done:

1. Create an empty SharePoint 2010 project in Visual Studio 2010

2. Create an “List Definition” project item.

3. Add a “Application Page” project item.

4. Move the new application page to the “List Definition” project item.

5. Change the base class to “WebPartPage”

6. Modify the “Page” tag of the aspx page: replace “DynamicalMasterPageFile” with “MasterPageFile”

7. Replace the content of the aspx file with this code:

  

1: <asp:Content  ContentPlaceHolderID="PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead"  runat="server"> 

2: </asp:Content> 

3:

4: <asp:Content  ContentPlaceHolderID="PlaceHolderMain"  runat="server"> 

5:     <WebPartPages:WebPartZone  runat="server"  FrameType="None"  ID="Main2"  Title="loc:Main"> 

6:         <ZoneTemplate> 

7:         </ZoneTemplate> 

8:     </WebPartPages:WebPartZone> 

9: </asp:Content> 

10: <asp:Content  ContentPlaceHolderID="PlaceHolderPageTitle"  runat="server"> 

11: </asp:Content> 

12: <asp:Content  ContentPlaceHolderID="PlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea"  runat="server"> 

13: </asp:Content>

14:

8. Insert the following code into the CS file of the ASPX file. This code will create the custom Ribbon tab. (The Ribbon tab XML definition code could be created dynamically!!!)

 

1: using  System;

2: using  System.Security.Permissions;

3: using  Microsoft.SharePoint.Security;

4: using  Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages;

5: using  Microsoft.SharePoint;

6: using  Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls;

7: using  System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;

8: using  System.Diagnostics;

9: using  System.Xml;

10: using  System.Collections.Generic;

11: using  System.Reflection;

12: using  System.Text;

DefaultView=”TRUE” MobileView=”TRUE” MobileDefaultView=”TRUE” ImageUrl=”/_layouts/images/generic.png” Url=”AllItems.aspx”>

Remove the SetupPath attribute!

11. Set the view pages “DeploymentType” property to “NoDeployment”:

How to upload user profile pictures in SharePoint 2010 using PowerShell

I’ve created a script for uploading user pictures to the SharePoint 2010 User Profile system.

For me it worked very well. But: Use it at your own risk!

Here is the script:

      Write-Error "Please use a x64 PowerShell host!"

How to have a look behind the data source of the XsltListViewWebPart of SharePoint 2010

Posted on by

I want to create a custom field type in a SharePoint 2010 development project (which I want to publish as as “walkthrough” on this blog Smile )

Therefore I need to inspect the source XML data that is used for XSLT rendering on a lists view page, e.g. “AllItems.aspx”

This is the result:

image

You see here for each field (column): The source XML and the items field value behind the XML data.

For the demo above I created a new custom list. It has some fields:

  • Title : Single line of text
  • Choice Field : Choice field with 3 choice values
  • Date Field : Date only field
  • Lookup Field: Lookup field to the “Start Time” field of the standard Team Site “Calendar” list. (Additional field in view: “End Time”)
  • People Picker Field: People or Group field with “People only”.

I added a single item.

That’s the set.

For the lookup field you get this result XML data:

<FieldRef Name="Lookup_x0020_Field" Type="Lookup" FieldType="Lookup" Encoded="TRUE" DisplayName="Lookup Field" ID="da1fb516-3300-47e9-8734-33db5479876e" />

For the “Title” field you get this result XML data:

<FieldRef Name="LinkTitle" ListItemMenu="TRUE" Type="Computed" FieldType="Computed" DisplayName="Title" ID="82642ec8-ef9b-478f-acf9-31f7d45fbc31" ClassInfo="Menu" ListItemMenuAllowed="Required" LinkToItemAllowed="Prohibited" />Test Text

(This field is “Computed”. In the view you do not see the “Title” field itself. You see a “computed” field named “LinkTitle” instead.)

If I want to develop a custom field type I need to create a XSL transformation for the field data. Therefore I need to refer to the source XML data. But at development time I do not know the exact structure and content of the XML data. So I modified a file in the SharePoint hive….

NEVER do the following in a productive SharePoint 2010 farm! 

1. Look for the file “C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedWeb Server Extensions14TEMPLATELAYOUTSXSLfldtypes.xsl”

2. Open it.

3. Look for this line:

  <xsl:template name="PrintField" ddwrt:dvt_mode="body" ddwrt:ghost="always">

4. Before this line insert this XSLT code:

1:   <xsl:template name= "ikarstein_nodes "> 
2:     <xsl:element name= "{name()} "> 
3:       <xsl:text><![CDATA[<]]></xsl:text> 
4:       <xsl:value-of select= "name() "/> 
5:       <xsl:text><![CDATA[ ]]></xsl:text> 
6:       <xsl:for-each select= "@* "> 
7:         <xsl:call-template name= "ikarstein_attrib "/> 
8:       </xsl:for-each> 
9:       <xsl:choose> 
10:         <xsl:when test= "count(child::*)>0 "> 
11:           <xsl:text><![CDATA[>]]></xsl:text> 
12:           <xsl:for-each select= "child::*"> 
13:             <xsl:call-template name= "ikarstein_nodes "/> 
14:           </xsl:for-each> 
15:           <xsl:text><![CDATA[</]]></xsl:text> 
16:           <xsl:value-of select= "name() "/> 
17:           <xsl:text><![CDATA[>]]></xsl:text> 
18:         </xsl:when> 
19:         <xsl:otherwise> 
20:           <xsl:choose> 
21:             <xsl:when test= "string-length(text()) != 0 "> 
22:               <xsl:text><![CDATA[>]]></xsl:text> 
23:               <xsl:value-of select= "text() "/> 
24:               <xsl:text><![CDATA[</]]></xsl:text> 
25:               <xsl:value-of select= "name() "/> 
26:               <xsl:text><![CDATA[>]]></xsl:text> 
27:             </xsl:when> 
28:             <xsl:otherwise> 
29:               <xsl:text><![CDATA[/>]]></xsl:text> 
30:             </xsl:otherwise> 
31:           </xsl:choose> 
32:         </xsl:otherwise> 
33:       </xsl:choose> 
34:     </xsl:element> 
35:   </xsl:template> 
36:   <xsl:template name= "ikarstein_attrib "> 
37:     <xsl:value-of select= "name() "/> 
38:     <xsl:text><![CDATA[="]]></xsl:text> 
39:     <xsl:value-of select= ". "/> 
40:     <xsl:text><![CDATA[" ]]></xsl:text> 
41:   </xsl:template>

5. Then you have to modify the node starting with “<xsl:template name="PrintField" ddwrt:dvt_mode="body" ddwrt:ghost="always">”.  Insert the highlighted line of the snipped below:

…
   <xsl:template name= "PrintField " ddwrt:dvt_mode= "body " ddwrt:ghost= "always "> 
     <xsl:param name= "thisNode " select= ". "/> 
     <xsl:param name= "Position " select= "1 " /> 
     <xsl:param name= "Type " select= "string(@Type) "/> 
     <xsl:param name= "Name " select= "string(@Name) "/> 
     <xsl:param name= "folderUrlAdditionalQueryString "/> 
     <xsl:call-template name= "ikarstein_nodes "/> 
     <xsl:choose> 
       <xsl:when test= "< span> "> 
         <xsl:apply-templates select= ". " mode= "DateTime_body "> 
           <xsl:with-param name= "thisNode " select= "$thisNode "/> 
…

6. Restart the IIS.

7. Reload the list view. – Now you’ll see the fields source XML data.
