Custom Action for specific list view - SharePoint 2010 - sharepoint

Question

How can I target custom ribbon action menus for specific list views? I want to be displayed in the default view of the list but to be hidden in the other views.
Any ideas?

Answer 1

Though the question is old, yet unanswered , I am responding to it.
Create an empty Sharepoint Project in VS2010 , add an Elements.xml file in the project and past following XML in it.
<CustomAction Id="MyCustomButton" Sequence="999"
GroupId="Manage"
Location="CommandUI.Ribbon" // Location to display button
RegistrationId="101" // on every list, for a specific list or library put the GUID of list here e.g. RegistrationId="{GUID_OF_LIST}"
RegistrationType="List"
Rights="ManageWebs"
Title="Custom Document Library Button">
<CommandUIExtension>
<CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.Documents.Manage.Controls._children">
<Button Id="Ribbon.Documents.Manage.Controls.CustomButton" TemplateAlias="o1"
ToolTipDescription="Creates a server side action."
ToolTipTitle="SSRibbon" LabelText="SS Action"
Image32by32="/_layouts/images/ContractClaims/newproject.jpg"
Image16by16="/_layouts/images/ContractClaims/newproject.jpg" Alt="New Project"
Command="{3E04C0C1-12DD-449E-905F-7E88EB9E22B1}"
Sequence="20"/>
</CommandUIDefinition>
</CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIHandlers>
<CommandUIHandler Command="{3E04C0C1-12DD-449E-905F-7E88EB9E22B1}"
CommandAction="javascript:alert ('Hello World' ) ;" />
</CommandUIHandlers>
</CommandUIExtension>
</CustomAction>
The several locations to display the button can be found here.For more on the top you can google respective XML elements.

You can use EnabledScript parameter in CommandUIHandler, where you can put javascript code and check if specific page/list/view is loaded.

Example:
<CommandUIHandler
Command="Ribbon.ListItem.CustomGroup.Controls.BtnSayHello.Command"
CommandAction="javascript:alert('Hello');"
EnabledScript="javascript:
function isEnable(){
if(location.href.indexOf('AllItems.aspx') > 0){
return true;
}
return false;
}
isEnable();"
/>
