I need to get the the site colllection url using the javascript.
I have written one simple function as below
function getSiteCollectionUrl()
{
var pageUrl= window.location.href;
var protocol = pageUrl.split(":")[0];
var addr=pageUrl.split("//")[1];
var webUrl = addr.split("/")[0];
var siteColleUrl = protocol + "://" + webUrl
}
let say the site address is "http://mysite/trialsite/default.aspx",
then it will return: "http://mysite"
But I think this isn't proper way to get the site collection url.
PLease suggest if you have any other idea.
Just by looking at SharePoint tag, right below this question, there is exactly the same question: How to get site collection url using javascript?
And the answers are there. And luckily you can get SharePoint site collection URL without invoking SharePoint API, because there is a L_Menu_BaseUrl variable available that contains it.
At http://server/documents it returns:
console.log(L_Menu_BaseUrl)
/documents
You cannot obtain the Site collection Url from just pure javascript without invoking SharePoint API.
If you need to do it in Javascript, you can invoke SharePoint API through web services and get the Site collection Url.
There is already Javascript API available called SPServices. You can use the following function:
SPGetCurrentSite

I have set up a SharePoint Online site and I have created a provider hosted app. One of the features of the app is to create subsites and there are times when a subsite needs to be renamed, including renaming the subsite URL. I can use the CSOM to create the subsite without any problems but when I try to rename the URL I get an access denied error. If I only change the title and description of the subsite there is no problem. If I log into SharePoint Online via the browser (using the same user account!) and I use the UI to rename the URL then it works without any problem. The page in SharePoint I use to rename the URL is https://tenant.sharepoint.com/testproject/_layouts/15/prjsetng.aspx
I have tried this on both a Microsoft 365 Developer subscription (where I am doing most of my development and testing) and the main SharePoint Online site where the solution will eventually be deployed to. I don't know much of the details for the main SPO site, other people set it up and I was provided an account to test renaming the subsite. To be clear, I am able to rename the subsite URL via the UI in both the developer and main SharePoint Online sites.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is there a limitation to renaming a subsite URL via code in SharePoint Online? Is there a bug in SharePoint Online that prevents renaming a subsite URL using code?
The exception thrown includes ServerErrorTypeName = "Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException". I can get the correlation id but from what I understand that's of no use in SharePoint Online. The exception Message is literally "Access denied." There is no inner exception.
Here is the code I'm using to rename the subsite:
SharePointContext spContext = SharePointContextProvider.Current.GetSharePointContext(HttpContext);
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(spContext.SPHostUrl)
{
Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials("SPUserName", "SPPassword".ToSecureString())
};
var webUrl = request.OldProjectUrl;
var subweb = clientContext.Site.OpenWeb(webUrl);
clientContext.Load(subweb);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
subweb.Title = request.ProjectName;
subweb.Description = request.ProjectName;
subweb.ServerRelativeUrl = "/HardcodedForTesting"; // <-- if I skip this line there is no error
subweb.Update();
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
I was trying to achieve the same result but encountered the same error.
I was able to solve this by disabling the NoScriptSite setting of the site collection.
Using the PnP.PowerShell module:
Set-PnPSite -NoScriptSite:$false
Also the value you give to the ServerRelativeUrl property must be correctly constructed. I found two allowed format:
/sites/site-collection-path/new-subsite-path
new-subsite-path
Just did a test on my environment, I could rename the subsite URL via CSOM code normally. I use the same code as yours.
For your issue, you'd better create a service request with Microsoft.
I'm trying to get the OneNote notebook information that is linked to my organization's CRM accounts. Each account has a OneNote book created for it that can be accessed inside of CRM.
From what I understand, I can use the SharePointDocumentLocation endpoint (found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/web-api/sharepointdocumentlocation?view=dynamics-ce-odata-9) to get the location of the specific file if I ask for location type to be 1.
However, SharePointDocumentLocationId and SiteCollectionId don't seem to be pointing to anything on my company's sites. Should I be getting my data somewhere else?
I started searching through my company's SharePoint structure to see if I can get any hints as to where these documents may be located. My initial Postman request (getting the sites off of the root site) don't show the site that hosts our CRM documents (sites/crmdocs). I was able to find where this was stored eventually, but trying to get the OneNote notebooks stored there returns an error since we have more than 20,000 notebooks there, so I can't fetch them all. As far as I know, I'm able to get notebooks if I have the specific ID I want.
Once I fetch the CRM information, I try to send a request like this:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{myCompanyUrl},{siteCollectionId},{sharepointDocumentLocationId}/onenote/notebooks/
SiteCollectionId and SharePointDocumentLocationId are from my CRM SharePointDocumentLocation request
The error I receive is:
The requested site was not found. Please check that the site is still accessible.
Assuming your environment is using the out of the box sharepoint site and sharepoint document location hierarchy, you can access One Note files using the following link structure:
[SharePointAbsoluteUrl]/[EntityLogicalName]/[RelativeUrl]_[RegardingObjectId]/[RelativeUrl]
How to get [SharePointAbsoluteUrl] :
Querying for sharepointdocumentlocations is actually not enough because Dynamics 365 stores this information in another entity called sharepointsite. This is how you can obtain it:
var query = new QueryExpression("sharepointsite")
{
ColumnSet = new ColumnSet("absoluteurl")
};
query.Criteria.AddCondition("IsDefault", ConditionOperator.Equal, true);
var entityCollection = _service.RetrieveMultiple(query);
var absoluteUrl = entityCollection[0].Attributes["absoluteurl"];
In Web API it is equivalent to:
GET https://[Your Org]/api/data/v9.0/sharepointsites?$select=absoluteurl&$filter=isdefault%20eq%20true
There can only be a default sharepoint site so this query will return a single record.
How to get the remaining parts:
Fetch for sharepointdocumentlocations that have Location Type dedicated to One Note Integration:
var query = new QueryExpression("sharepointdocumentlocation")
{
ColumnSet = new ColumnSet("regardingobjectid", "relativeurl")
};
query.Criteria.AddCondition("locationtype", ConditionOperator.Equal, 1);
var entityCollection = _service.RetrieveMultiple(query);
In Web API it is equivalent to the following get request, don't forget to add add Prefer: odata.include-annotations="*" to your HTTP Request Headers so that it gets the lookup lookuplogicalname field:
GET https://[Your Org]/api/data/v9.0/sharepointdocumentlocations?$select=relativeurl,_regardingobjectid_value&$filter=locationtype%20eq%201
This query can return many records, I've only used the first one in the examples below for explanation purposes.
[EntityLogicalName] will be your ((EntityReference)entityCollection[0].Attributes["regardingobjectid"]).LogicalName;
In Web Api will be your value._regardingobjectid_value#Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.lookuplogicalname value.
[RelativeUrl] will be your entityCollection[0].Attributes["relativeurl"];
In Web Api will be your value.relativeurl value.
[RegardingObjectId] can be obtained with this expression ((EntityReference)entityCollection[0].Attributes["regardingobjectid"]).Id.ToString().Replace("-", "").ToUpper();
In Web Api id will be your _regardingobjectid_value value and you have to remove dashes and convert it to upper case in whatever language you are doing the request.
You should end up with an URL like this https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/account/A Datum Fabrication_A56B3F4B1BE7E6118101E0071B6AF231/A Datum Fabrication
So let's say I have a full url into a sharepoint website.
In the past when I wanted to get the weburl and doc url, I used the "url to web url" method of the Front Page Server Extensions. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms460544.aspx).
So for example if you had a site at
http://webapp/site1/chidsite/a.doc
I want a method in CSOM that will return /site1/childsite as the weburl.
I see the Web.WebUrlFromPageUrlDirect() method in CSOM but I'm not sure I'm getting what I need back from it. In the Uri class I get back, would I use teh "AbsolutePath" property for the weburl?
What is the correct way to do this?
I also would like to get the docURL that is usually retrieved by a call to url to web url via frontpage extensions.
The fileurl will be the file location relative to the web site. So if the document is stored in the document library called "Documents", you will get a value of /Documents/file.ext.
Well, I've reverted to using the FrontPage extensions when doing URLToWebURL since I just wasn't sure what I was getting using CSOM methods. Though check the link below for answers I received elsewhere.

I am trying to create an html object dynamically with the necessary header information depending on the query string in the link I provide to Facebook. I am hoping that Facebook open graph will call this html link as I provided. However it seems that query string info are not getting passed to my server. Do anyone know how to make this work or what is the more appropriate way to do this. BTW, I am writing my code in Node.js.
To get more info about Facebook open graph api, look here, https://developers.facebook.com/docs/beta/opengraph/actions/.
For example, the link I am trying to pass to Facebook is, "http://xxx-url.com/getFacebookObject?objectId=&description=first dynamic post", so I sent a request with the link as, "https://graph.facebook.com/me/app-name:action-name?object=http://xxx-url.com/getFacebookObject?objectId=&description=first dynamic post". However, when I check the log on the server, I don't see anything in the query string.
Instead of using the query string, you can embed the data in the URL:
http://some-domain.com/getFacebookObject/id/description
Then, depending on what node.js packages you're using, extract the data from the request:
// expess.js style
app.get("/getFacebookObject/:id/:description", function(req, res) {
var id = req.params.id,
desc = req.params.description;
// your code...
});
(See http://expressjs.com/guide.html.)
Sorry, Facebook will strip off all query string information from the URL when they launch your site in the iframe. If it was a page tab app, then you could add it to the app_data query string parameters which in turn gets passed to your iframe's page tab app via the app_data part of the signed_request parameter.
I'm trying to get the GUID of a given sharepoint URL. I don't mind using the API or the webservices or Sharepoint's database.
if i were to write a function, it's signature would be:
//get a GUID from path.
string GetGuidFromPath(string path){}
I had a lead: SPContentMapProvider but it doesn't seem to get the right info.
Thank you!
Depends - what's the context of the current request? Is your code running in the context of a SharePoint request? If so you can just use SPContext.Current.Web.ID
Otherwise, is your code at least running on one of the SharePoint servers? If so you'll need to use:
// Given the URL http://mysharepointsite.com/sites/somesite/somesubsite
using(SPSite site = new SPSite("http://mysharepointsite.com/sites/somesite"))
{
using(SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb("somesubsite"))
{
Guid webId = web.ID;
}
// Or
Guid rootWebId = site.RootWeb.ID;
}
