I have to make a list template for my sharepoint online App.
I success with Element.xml and schema.xml files to create a list from a template but I need the template to be available for later use in the list template of the website.
anyone know how I can do this in my spfx app ? (I found with powershell but I have to make the template available by installing the app on the website)
Based on my research and testing, unfortunately there is currently no way to create a list template using SPFx. We can only create lists using SPFX. As a workaround, I still recommend you use Microsoft PowerShell to create and manage custom list templates.

I want to create a Subsite in Sharepoint Online within a site that was automatically generated via a MS Teams team but the option to do so doesnt exist.
The option to create Subsite seems to ONLY exist if a Site was created from within Sharepoint Online.
I can understand that a workaround would be to create it as another Site within Sharepoint Online and then link the relevant Sites together under a HUB.
Am I missing something or this feature does not exist in Sharepoint Online unless I create the Subsites as Sites and then link them up via a Hub?
Thank you in advance for the help.
There is a setting in the SharePoint Online Admin Center to Hide or Show the create subsites option.
Microsoft is discouraging the use of subsites, and the creation of subsites is likely to continue to be phased out as more features and capabilities are added to Hubs. While there are still exceptions to the rule, since there are still aspects that Hubs cannot accomplish (like connecting Hubs together to a parent Hub), you should seriously consider building your solution to use separate site collections.
Depending on how the rest of your SharePoint environment is architected, a better approach would be to setup that team site as a hubsite, then create the additional site collections you need, and link it to the new hubsite. This way you kind of mimic the subsite structure ( but not all its features ) while preserving every site independent.

We currently have a simple requirement to present our users with a table of records. Each record has link to a PDF stored within Azure storage. We need to have our users be able to click on a record and be able to view (in line) the associated PDF.
We currently use SharePoint Online and cannot store the data within SharePoint itself (organisational policy).
Is it possible to create a SharePoint site/web part etc to do the above? We are scoping out options.
Yes, SharePoint has several ways to do that.
Your best bet may be a custom list with a custom URL column for the link to the PDFs. Then you can insert a list web part on a page.
This approach works with modern pages and with classic pages.
If you use a classic interface, you could also create an out of the box links list, but that list type does not have a web part for the modern experience, so it will only work on classic pages.
SPFx webpart can be inserted into modern page or classic page.
And you could call AD-secured APIs(custom service) in SPFx, so you could create a custom service host in Azure and consume from SPFx webpart.

Iam trying to develop webpart for firm website on SharePoint with visual studio, the problem is that there is no solution for SharePoint online - Visual web part. When i try to create SharePoint 2013 - visual web part, I get an
error message.
The only thing there is for Sharepoint online is Apps for Sharepoint and that isn't a web part, or atleast I haven't found a way to use it as such.
When I talk to my supervisor about the error, he tells me that they can't create a virtual server for me to install the SharePoint server on and I have to code it through the Sharepoint online.
Is there any way for me to develop and deploy the webpart with an online Sharepoint server instead of local one or to atleast create it through the apps for Sharepoint?
You can use App Parts, those are Web Parts that display content from an installed App, you can add them at any page of your site as normal Web Parts, App Parts are deployed in the same package as your App, so you can have everything in the same solution.
There are plenty of resources that will help you to develop Apps and to include App Parts also, just look for the right concept in google and you will find it.
There are two kinds of SharePoint Apps (or Add-ins which is the new name), the first one is SharePoint Hosted App and the second one is SharePoint Provider Hosted App, the one you need will depend on the functionality you want to achieve, but as a general reference you can think on the data source that you want to consume in your solution, e.g. if the data to be used by the App is in the SP Site where you are going to install it, then all you need is a SharePoint Hosted App, however if the data is in an external location like databases stored in local servers, then you will need SharePoint Provider Hosted App. Of course this is just a very basic view of this topic, there are other reasons to use one or the other but its pointless to make a full list here. This is a wide topic and you can find tons of articles and guides about this.
If all you need is a simple webpart to display some content with a nice look or roll up some content and provide an output based on it, then you can use a SharePoint Hosted App, which is the easiest to develop and deploy, with this kind of app you can use JavaScript get the data from your site, and then you can display your output in an App Part.
I'm sorry to not provide specific pages to read, but that's just because it's better to look for the guides that be easier for you to understand and that may vary from person to person, all you need to know is the concepts and topics to search for.
If you want me to help you with this please send me a message (my profile).
I can apply a template to a subsite when creating it, however, on the home/parent site, there does not seem to be an option to apply a template. You can only list the templates.
Note: This is for: Microsoft
SharePoint Online.
It is not possible.
You can use MetaVis Architect to create a SharePoint Site Template and then use MetaVis Site Creator to deploy that MetaVis SharePoint Template to BPOS Microsoft online. You can get a free trial at www.metavistech.com. You can also use MetaVis Architect Suite to move your site structure and content to BPOS Microsoft online.
I have a bit of challenge. Knowing only the basic URL for the sharepoint installation, can I get a list of the site collections that have been created using only the basic web services that are installed?
Using the Webs web service or the SiteData web service I've been able to get information on the default site collection that's at the base URL (http://MySharePointServer/). I can also get a full list of sites below the site collection and a description of the site collection itself but I can't seem to get any info on the other site collections under the same web application.
Any help would be appreciated, I thought it would be a piece of cake to get the info.
Unfortunately, no. That functionality isn't available from the out-of-the-box web services. The only option that might work is using the Search Web Service (I'm not familiar enough with it to know).
This walkthrough describes how to add your own custom web services to the product. I strongly recommend this approach as it's very likely there will be other missing functionality you will need to add - if not now, in the near future.
