SharePoint: get list Title or URL (JSLink) - sharepoint

I have a JSLink function overriding the default footer of a list view webpart. How can I retrieve this list's title (or URL) so that it can be added to the footer?
(function () {
var overrideContext = {};
overrideContext.Templates = {};
overrideContext.Templates.Footer = overrideCustomFooter;
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(overrideContext); })();
function overrideCustomFooter() {
return "<div><a href='https://somesite/Lists/[LIST TITLE]'>See more</a></div>"; }
Thank you very much in advance!

There are several options available:
Via SP.PageContextInfo object:
The following example absolute url of list:
const listBasUrl = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + _spPageContextInfo.listUrl
Via context passed into Templates.Footer function:
ctx.listUrlDir -server relative url to List
Example
function renderFooter(ctx){
console.log(ctx.listUrlDir);
return "";
}
where
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides({
Templates: {
Footer: renderFooter
},
});

Getting users job title in Sharepoint List

So I have a SP Online list, that every user can submit his entries. I have a default column of "created by", where the user, that submited the entry is listed. I'd like to have 2 other columns, to get users Department and Job Title copied automatically from users account. How can I do this?
Method 1:
You can use the JSOM to set the Department/JobTitle. Because we don't sure where your user from(AD or some else )
First of all you need to load the “SP.UserProfiles.js, SP.Runtime.js and SP.js” js files on your SharePoint page, use following code snippet to load these files,
$(document).ready(function () {
var scriptbase = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_layouts/15/";
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Runtime.js",
function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.js",
function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.UserProfiles.js", GetUserInformation);
});
});
});
var userProfileProperties;
function GetUserInformation() {
// Get the current client context.
var clientContext = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
//Get Instance of People Manager Class
var peopleManager = new SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager(clientContext);
var targetUser = "domain\\userId";
userProfileProperties = peopleManager.getPropertiesFor(targetUser);
//Execute the Query.
clientContext.load(userProfileProperties);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(onSuccess, onFail); }
function onSuccess () {
// get user information from userProfileProperties and set to your target column.
userProfileProperties.get_userProfileProperties()['Department'];
userProfileProperties.get_userProfileProperties()['SPS-JobTitle'];
// To do: list item replace operation
}
function onFail (sender, args) {
alert("Error: " + args.get_message());
}

Method 2: Workflow
When user add/edit a item,we trigger the workflow to copy the user's department/JobTitle to target column

Sharepoint 2010 list creation using ecmascript

i am new to ECMAScript and share point development, i have small requirement i need to create one list using ECMAScript and while creation it has to check whether the list already exists in the site ,if list doesn't exist new list has to create.
You can use SPServices with "GetListCollection" to find all the lists in a Sharepoint, and then use "AddList" to create it.
Something like:
var myList="My List Test"; // the name of your list
var listExists=false;
$().SPServices({
operation: "GetListCollection",
async: true,
webURL:"http://my.share.point/my/dir/",
completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
// go through the result
$(xData.responseXML).find('List').each(function() {
if ($(this).attr("Title") == myList) { listExists=true; return false }
})
// if the list doesn't exist
if (!listExists) {
// see the MSDN documentation available from the SPService website
$().SPServices({
operation: "AddList",
async: true,
webURL:"http://my.share.point/my/dir/",
listName:myList,
description:"My description",
templateID:100
})
}
}
});
Make sure to read the website correctly, and especially the FAQ. You'll need to include jQuery and then SPServices in your code.
You could utilize JSOM or SOAP Services for that purpose, below is demonstrated JSOM solution.
How to create a List using JSOM in SharePoint 2010
function createList(siteUrl,listTitle,listTemplateType,success,error) {
var context = new SP.ClientContext(siteUrl);
var web = context.get_web();
var listCreationInfo = new SP.ListCreationInformation();
listCreationInfo.set_title(listTitle);
listCreationInfo.set_templateType(listTemplateType);
var list = web.get_lists().add(listCreationInfo);
context.load(list);
context.executeQueryAsync(
function(){
success(list);
},
error
);
}
How to determine whether list exists in Web
Unfortunately JSOM API does not contains any "built-in" methods to determine whether list exists or not, but you could use the following approach.
One solution would be to load Web object with lists collection and then iterate through list collection to find a specific list:
context.load(web, 'Lists');
Solution
The following example demonstrates how to determine whether List exist via JSOM:
function listExists(siteUrl,listTitle,success,error) {
var context = new SP.ClientContext(siteUrl);
var web = context.get_web();
context.load(web,'Lists');
context.load(web);
context.executeQueryAsync(
function(){
var lists = web.get_lists();
var listExists = false;
var e = lists.getEnumerator();
while (e.moveNext()) {
var list = e.get_current();
if(list.get_title() == listTitle) {
listExists = true;
break;
}
}
success(listExists);
},
error
);
}
Usage
var webUrl = 'http://contoso.intarnet.com';
var listTitle = 'Toolbox Links';
listExists(webUrl,listTitle,
function(listFound) {
if(!listFound){
createList(webUrl,listTitle,SP.ListTemplateType.links,
function(list){
console.log('List ' + list.get_title() + ' has been created succesfully');
},
function(sender, args) {
console.log('Error:' + args.get_message());
}
);
}
else {
console.log('List with title ' + listTitle + ' already exists');
}
}
);

Sharepoint 2013: Inserting image on page javascript csom

I create a new page with javascript csom. I am able to give it a title, byline, content etc., but it won't accept an image reference. It doesn't give me any error messages, nor reaching my error function, but I'm obviously missing something here as the new page does not have any images attached.
Any ideas on how to do this?
Here is my code:
var pageInfo = new SP.Publishing.PublishingPageInformation();
var newPage = pubWeb.addPublishingPage(pageInfo);
context.load(newPage);
context.executeQueryAsync(function () {
var listItem = newPage.get_listItem();
context.load(listItem);
context.executeQueryAsync(function () {
var title = $('#head').val();
listItem.set_item('Title', title);
listItem.set_item('PublishingPageImage', { "Url": "/sites/intranett/PublishingImages/ExampleImage.png", "Description": "testing" });
listItem.update();
context.executeQueryAsync(function () { }, onFailedCallback);
}, onFailedCallback);
}, onFailedCallback);
I needed to include the html image tag when setting the PublishingPageImage property.
listItem.set_item('PublishingPageImage', "<img alt='image' src='/sites/intranett/PublishingImages/ExampleImage'>");

Titanium mobile - Common JS. Objects values are lost when lauching a fireEvent

I'm dev an app into titanium mobile in javascript.
The dynamic menu insert each new object(id,text,...., page) into a loop for (var x in tab).
with thoses items, specifics views are made.
var items = [];
var menuIconsItem = require('view/module/menuIconsItem');
for(var i in itemTab) {
var page = itemTab[i].page;
items[i] = new menuIconsItem(itemTab[i]);
menuFirstLine.add(items[i]);
(function(itemsEvent) {
itemsEvent.addEventListener('click', function() {
Ti.App.fireEvent('test' +i, {
id : i
});
})
})(items[i]);
}
on the other controller side, i only get the last id reference.
If i = 0 to 5, i only get the last reference. The rest is undefined.
How could i do please?
First you have to set id for your menuIconsItem, I am taking button an an example here.
items[i] = Titanium.UI.createButton({
id:"button_"+i,
_index: i
})
Then do this:
(function(itemsEvent) {
itemsEvent.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
alert(e.source.id);
})
})(items[i]);

Extending or modifying the SharePoint Datasheet view

Has anyone discovered a way to extend or modify the functionality of the SharePoint Datasheet view (the view used when you edit a list in Datasheet mode, the one that looks like a basic Excel worksheet)?
I need to do several things to it, if possible, but I have yet to find a decent non-hackish way to change any functionality in it.
EDIT: An example of what I wish to do is to enable cascading filtering on lookup fields - so a choice in one field limits the available choices in another. There is a method to do this in the standard view form, but the datasheet view is completely seperate.
Regards
Moo
I don't think you can modify it in any non-hackish way, but you can create a new datasheet view from scratch. You do this by creating a new ActiveX control, and exposing it as a COM object, and modifying the web.config file to make reference to the new ActiveX control.
There's an example here:
Creating a custom datasheet control.
Actually, you can do this. Here is a code snippet I stripped out of someplace where I am doing just what you asked. I tried to remove specifics.
var gridFieldOverrideExample = (function (){
function fieldView(ctx){
var val=ctx.CurrentItem[curFieldName];
var spanId=curFieldName+"span"+ctx.CurrentItem.ID;
if (ctx.inGridMode){
handleGridField(ctx, spanId);
}
return "<span id='"+spanId+"'>"+val+"</span>";
}
function handleGridField(ctx, spanID){
window.SP.SOD.executeOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(function(){
window.SP.GanttControl.WaitForGanttCreation(function (ganttChart){
var gridColumn = null;
var editID = "EDIT_"+curFieldName+"_GRID_FIELD";
var columns = ganttChart.get_Columns();
for(var i=0;i<columns.length;i++){
if(columns[i].columnKey == curFieldName){
gridColumn = columns[i];
break;
}
}
if (gridColumn){
gridColumn.fnGetEditControlName = function(record, fieldKey){
return editID;
};
window.SP.JsGrid.PropertyType.Utils.RegisterEditControl(editID, function (ctx) {
editorInstance = new SP.JsGrid.EditControl.EditBoxEditControl(ctx, null);
editorInstance.NewValue = "";
editorInstance.SetValue = function (value) {
_cellContext = editorInstance.GetCellContext();
_cellContext.SetCurrentValue({ localized: value });
};
editorInstance.Unbind = function () {
//This happens when the grid cell loses focus - hide controls here, do cleanup, etc.
}
//Below I grabbed a reference to the original 'BindToCell' function so I can prepend to it by overwriting the event.
var origbtc = editorInstance.BindToCell;
editorInstance.BindToCell = function(cellContext){
if ((cellContext.record) &&
(cellContext.record.properties) &&
(cellContext.record.properties.ID) &&
(cellContext.record.properties.ID.dataValue)){
editorInstance.ItemID = cellContext.record.properties.ID.dataValue;
}
origbtc(cellContext);
};
//Below I grabbed a reference to the original 'OnBeginEdit' function so I can prepend to it by overwriting the event.
var origbte = editorInstance.OnBeginEdit;
editorInstance.TargetID;
editorInstance.OnBeginEdit = function (cellContext){
this.TargetID = cellContext.target.ID;
/*
. . .
Here is where you would include any custom rendering
. . .
*/
origbte(cellContext);
};
return editorInstance;
}, []);
}
});
},"spgantt.js");
}
return{
fieldView : fieldView
}
})();
(function () {
function OverrideFields(){
var overrideContext = {};
overrideContext.Templates = overrideContext.Templates || {};
overrideContext.Templates.Fields = {
'FieldToOverride' : {
'View': gridFieldOverrideExample.fieldView
}
};
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(overrideContext);
}
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(OverrideFields, 'clienttemplates.js');
})();
Also, there are a couple of other examples out there. Sorry, I don't have the links anymore:
