I have added a custom button to the server ribbon in SharePoint (I have used a feature with Farm scope, so that the button is visible throughout the various site collections).
For the elements of the feature, I have added a CustomUIExtension through which I want to load an aspx page on the click of the button.
<CommandUIHandler
Command="Test_Button"
CommandAction="javascript:
function demoCallback(dialogResult, returnValue)
{
SP.UI.Notify.addNotification('Operation Successful!');
SP.UI.ModalDialog.RefreshPage(SP.UI.DialogResult.OK);
}
var options = {
url: '/_layouts/CustomPage.aspx',
tite: 'Custom Page',
dialogReturnValueCallback: demoCallback };
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);"
/>
I have added the CustomPage.aspx and its corresponding code behind class to the 14 hive (inside 14/TEMPLATE/LAYOUTS). However when I install the feature and click the button, I get an error saying "Cannot load CustomPage".
I understand that I haven't deployed the assembly, but shouldn't the aspx page be compiled Just In Time?
I guess your .aspx file is looking for the assembly (.dll) and not the .cs from which it is inheriting currently in the .aspx file.
Please put your assembly in the bin folder of your application and remove the inherits tage from your .aspx page

I am having issue to implement dynamic tab page in .NET MAUI project. Can we add tabs into Navigation page at runtime to open Webpage. I am trying to implement functionality model like Chrome or Edge to open web URLs in separate tab.
Can we add tabs into Navigation page at runtime to open Webpage
What does the webpage mean? At first, if you want to add a new tab into the TabbedPage when the user operates in the child page, you can use the the following code in the child page:
var tabbedpage = this.Parent as TabbedPage;
tabbedpage.Children.Add(new ChildPage());
And then if the ChildPage just have a webview in it and you want to add a new tab when the webview navigates to a new url. You can add a Navigating event to the webview and pass the url to the child page.
Update
You can create a construction method which has a parameter for the ChildPage, such as:
public ChildPage(string url)
{
//use the url here
}
I created a Custom Action Ribbon button for sharepoint online and i want to run a javascript code when the button is clicked.
Sharepoint documentation even provides an example of it: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/schema/commanduihandler-element?redirectedfrom=MSDN#example
but when i'm trying it always returns an error Custom action urls must start with "http:", "https:", "~appWebUrl" or "~remoteAppUrl".
Another part of the documentation says that it is not possible https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins/sharepoint-add-ins-ux-design-guidelines?redirectedfrom=MSDN#figure-4-a-custom-action-in-the-contextual-menu
So how do i make it work? is not possible anymore and only can do redirections?
or it deppends of the location? i have it defined as <CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.Documents.Actions.Controls._children"> so it is displayed in the command bar.
is it possible? ... I suppose no
Unfortunately it is not possible to add a custom ribbon action with a javascript logic with a provider hosted add-in 🤔. I think the articles/links where you found it is possible refer to the Server ribbon xml custom action that could be modified using sandbox solutions (like the old school SharePoint days 😊), but now the sandbox is rather not supported in SP online.
For the Ribbon custom actions that are added with the add-in you should specify the direct link. This is already what needs to be specified when we add a Ribbon action in VS to the Add-in project (we should specify were we navigate to)
I also found this MSDN article (quite up to date - from 2020) where we may find:
CustomAction cannot contain JavaScript: Any UrlActions or CommandActions must be a URL to navigate to. (...)
So I am like 95% sure it should 😉 not be possible... but I leave the 5% as I am not like an SP PRO (I think it is hard to be one as it is like sooooo much to know 😋)
possible solution you might take
What you might do is to add the custom Ribbion xml using PowerShell and attach any javascript logic to it also using PowerShell 😋. The only drawback is that the javascript file needs to be also somehow added to the page (like it could be stored in the SiteAssets library).
So to do that we need to:
create an xml file locally with our Ribbon command button like:
<CommandUIExtension>
<CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.Library.ViewFormat.Controls._children">
<Button Id="Ribbon.Library.ViewFormat.About"
Command="TestButton"
LabelText="Test"
Image32by32="{SiteUrl}/_layouts/15/1033/Images/formatmap32x32.png?rev=23"
Image32by32Top="-273"
Image32by32Left="-1"
Description="Test"
TemplateAlias="o1" />
</CommandUIDefinition>
</CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIHandlers>
<CommandUIHandler
Command="TestButton"
CommandAction="javascript:test({SelectedItemId});"
EnabledScript="javascript:checkOneItemSelected();" />
</CommandUIHandlers>
</CommandUIExtension>
the output of the above will be a button like this
Next create a js file (also locally) with functions for the CommandAction and EnabledScript (so we need a test() function and checkOneItemSelected()). So the contents like
function test(itemId) {
alert(itemId);
}
function checkOneItemSelected() {
return (SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems().length == 1)
}
... so locally I have two files
Now we need to connect to the site we want to add the Ribbon button using PowerShell (best would be to use PnP Powershell 👍)
connect to site using Connect-PnPOnline -Url <SiteUrl>
now lets add the JS local file to the site assets library like Add-PnPFile -Path .\customJS.js -Folder "SiteAssets"
so the output is (the file in the library)
now lets add the Ribbon button to the site (using xml) like
$ribbon = Get-Content .\CustomRibbonButton.xml
$ribbon = [string]$ribbon
Add-PnPCustomAction -Name "RibbonTester" -Title "RibbonTester" -Description "-" -Group "Tester" -Location "CommandUI.Ribbon" -CommandUIExtension $ribbon -RegistrationType ContentType -RegistrationId 0x0101
so the output of the above will be our button in the ribbon (also we need to turn on classic UI /off modern UI, to see the ribbon 😉)
now lets attach our JS to the button like Add-PnPJavaScriptLink -Name "AboutButtonScript" -Url https://tenanttocheck.sharepoint.com/sites/ClassicDeveloperSite/SiteAssets/customJS.js -Scope Web please be aware the change url to your tenant😉
and the output is like
did you consider🤔
Also did you consider to use spfx extensions and modern UI to be more up to date? In extensions you may use JS and maybe do some http request to some endpoint you want to target with the ids array (but this is only a suggestion)
hope my post will be of any help 👍

How do you use redirection on Acumatica mobile xml or msdl to redirect to an external link?
All I could find is If an action on an Acumatica ERP form provides redirection to an external URL, you can map the action to use it in the mobile app. To do this, you need no additional attributes in the action object. However, the redirect attribute of the tag must be set to True, as shown in the following example.
Thanks
There may be other ways, but from the new T410 course for MSDL in 2018R2, you need to do a couple of steps. (Got this at Acumatica Summit 2018 Web Services course - Lesson 6 in the training guide which should be available soon if not already.)
First, define a new toolbar button on the form for your external link
(This example is for the SO303000 screen)
public PXAction<AR.ARInvoice> TestURL;
[PXButton(CommitChanges=true)]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "TestURL")]
protected void testURL(){
throw new PXRedirectToUrlException(
"http://www.acumatica.com",
"Redirect:http://www.acumatica.com"
)
}
After publishing your project, go back to the Customization Project in the Mobile Application section to map the button. Add this to the commands section of the page as shown in the following example.
add container "InvoiceSummary" {
add field …
add recordAction "TestURL" {
behavior = Void
redirect = True
}
}
Not sure if this answered your question as you pretty much had the MSDL code listed, so maybe it is a matter of where you placed your code within the mobile definition? In the training class, we placed it inside the container where we wanted the link which then appears on the menu on the mobile app when viewing that container.
We have developed an internal portal with multiple subsites using sharepoint office 365. We created our own page layouts/masterpage for the sites and most of the things like menu's, page body and page logos are customized(unique for all sites/subsites).
Each page has a header logo and a url assigned to that logo(logo describes site or subsite name). We have written a javascript file to load these logo and url and calling on the masterpage. Now the problem is these logo and link should load based on Global navigation
Example:
If the site is using the same navigation items as the parent site?
Yes - pull logo and link from site above
No - pull logo and link according to site name
if i get the GlobalNavigation setting value then i can do this in javscript file. Is there a way to get this GlobalNavigation setting value in javascipt file? I googled on this but didn't get enough information.
Thanks in advance,
Amarnath
--------UPDATED-------
I am using the below code but getting error "sp.runtime.js:2 Uncaught Error: The property or field 'Source' has not been initialized. It has not been requested or the request has not been executed. It may need to be explicitly requested"
used code
var ctx = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var web = ctx.get_web();
//Navigation Provider Settings for Current Web.
var webNavSettings = new SP.Publishing.Navigation.WebNavigationSettings(ctx, web);
//Global Navigation (Top Navigation Bar)
var navigation = webNavSettings.get_globalNavigation();
navigation.set_source(1);
webNavSettings.update();
ctx.executeQueryAsync(onSuccess, onFailure);
I have a document library in a sub site. How do I add a link to that library into the root site's left navigation bar?
Dynamic or static links are fine.
Assuming you mean the Quick Launch (which is the left-side navigation shown in most non-application pages), then click "Site Actions", and choose "Site Settings". Under "Look and Feel", pick "Quick Launch". You can add the sub site's document library as a heading of its own, or as a link underneath any heading (it really doesn't matter too much outside of design perspective). This method is best for static links, of course.
The Quick Launch is not restricted to the current site: you can link any external URL you have. The document library of the subsite, basically, is treated as an external URL to the root site. Just make sure you use the full URL, then there's no chance for failure.
This should do it, if you want to do it programmatically:
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://localhost"))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{
var navigationNode = new SPNavigationNode("stackoverflow","http://www.stackoverflow.com", true);
web.Navigation.QuickLaunch.AddAsLast(navigationNode);
web.Update();
}
}
