I have written a feature(Site scoped) that adds custom menu items to the New Menu and EditControlBlock of a SharePoint 2007 document library. These menu items should show up only when the user has add and edit permissions for that document library. This works great except for one particular case where the user has only read permission for the parent site but has full control over the document library. In this case the menu items under EditControlBlock show up correctly but the menu items under New menu do not show up. I have set the same rights for all the menu items. Below are the sample entries in Feature and Element manifest file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Feature
Id="59bba8e7-0cfc-46e3-9285-4597f8085e76"
Title="My Custom Menus"
Scope="Site"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<ElementManifests>
<ElementManifest Location="Elements.xml" />
</ElementManifests>
</Feature>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<CustomAction Id="EditMenu1" RegistrationType="FileType" RegistrationId="txt" Location="EditControlBlock" Sequence="106" ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/PPT16.GIF" Title="My Edit Menu" Rights="AddListItems,EditListItems">
<UrlAction Url="javascript:var surl='{SiteUrl}'; window.location='/test/mypage.aspx?siteurl='+surl+'&itemurl={ItemUrl}&itemid={ItemId}&listid={ListId}&Source='+window.location" />
</CustomAction>
<CustomAction Id="NewMenu1" GroupId="NewMenu" RegistrationType="List" RegistrationId="101" Location="Microsoft.SharePoint.StandardMenu" Sequence="1002" ImageUrl ="/_layouts/images/DOC32.GIF" Title="My New Menu" Rights="AddListItems,EditListItems">
<UrlAction Url="javascript:var surl='{SiteUrl}'; window.location='/test/mypage.aspx?siteurl='+surl+'&listid={ListId}&Source='+window.location" />
</CustomAction>
</Elements>
Am I missing anything? Please advice.

you may need to try and elevate their permissions in the code.
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(web.Site.ID))
{
// implementation details omitted
}
});
run with elevated permissions

So on my project server; I created a list in which I stored my image but it's not working, the icon shows me an empty case
I also tried to convert my image in base 64 but the result is the same :/
Any idea of what I'm doing wrong?

I have a very basic question about CustomActions in the Elements.xml, I have successfully created a little application that ads an item in the Context Menu for my document libraries for files, my goal is to have this same Custom Action available for Files and for Folders, so far it is only working for Files when I'm using the RegistrationID="0x0101" and for folders "0x0120"
I would like to have my solution properly working for both types.
Here is my Elements.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<CustomAction
ScriptSrc="/_layouts/CustomContextMenu/Permissions.js"
Location="ScriptLink"
Sequence="100">
</CustomAction>
<CustomAction Id="CustomContextMenu.MenuItemClicked"
RegistrationType="ContentType"
RegistrationId="0x0101"
Location="EditControlBlock"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/CustomContextMenu/security-key.png"
Title="External Access"
Description="This options allows you to configure the access to this item for external users">
<UrlAction Url="javascript:PermissionsDialog('{SiteUrl}', '{ItemId}', '{ListId}');" />
</CustomAction>
</Elements>
Location="EditControlBlock"
RegistrationId="101"
RegistrationType="List"
RequireSiteAdministrator = "False"
Rights = "AddListItems"
Description="Custom Upload"
Title="Move To" >
This works for me both folders and files.
I am having four external list "List1", "List2", "List3", "List4". I have added a custom ribbon button Like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<CustomAction
Id="ATEAgWorkOrderButton"
RegistrationType="List"
RegistrationId="600"
Location="CommandUI.Ribbon">
<CommandUIExtension>
<CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIDefinition
Location="Ribbon.ListItem.Actions.Controls._children">
<Button
Id="Ribbon.ListItem.Actions.ATEAgWorkOrderButton"
Alt="Click on this button to Add"
Sequence="3"
Image32by32="/_layouts/Images/Project/image.png"
Command="ATEAg_WorkOrder"
LabelText="Add Detail"
TemplateAlias="o2"/>
</CommandUIDefinition>
</CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIHandlers>
<CommandUIHandler
Command="ATEAg_WorkOrder"
CommandAction="javascript:alert("Hello Success");" />
</CommandUIHandlers>
</CommandUIExtension>
</CustomAction>
</Elements>
The button is now visible in all the external lists. But I want to make it visible for only "List1" and "List2". How to do this?
You need to explore the Andrew Connell's Ribbon Customization Deep Dive.
http://www.andrewconnell.com/blog/archive/2011/04/16/sharepoint-2010-ribbon-customization-deep-dive.aspx
He goes into how to solve these problems. In short instead of binding a customization for all lists of a certain type, you can register a javascript function that gets called to determine if you button should be shown or hidden. In this function you can determine which list is currently active.
If all your lists are associated with a ContentType, you can set the registration id of the custom action to the ContentType id.
From MSDN:
RegistrationID: Optional Text. Specifies the identifier of the list or
item content type that this action is associated with, or the file
type or programmatic identifier (ProgID).
I'm trying to create a feature to register my event handler to a specific list. I'm building it like I would a normal feature. However, I'm not sure how to define my Elements file. The file for my feature is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Receivers ListTemplateId="101">
<Receiver>
<Name>AddedEventHandler</Name>
<Type>ItemAdded</Type>
<SequenceNumber>10000</SequenceNumber>
<Assembly>ChangeContentTypeEventHandler, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7bfc7c17f98031d7</Assembly>
<Class>ChangeContentTypeEventHandler.ChangeContentTypeEventHandler</Class>
<Data></Data>
<Filter></Filter>
</Receiver>
</Receivers>
</Elements>
Based on this, how would I set up the file for registration of this event handler?
Also, here is my Feature.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Feature Scope="Web" Title="Change Content Type Event Handler"
Id="{27C2FDFF-ADA0-4984-955C-6448E182FA88}"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<ElementManifests>
<ElementManifest Location="ListTemplates\ListManifest.xml"/>
<ElementFile Location="Messages\schema.xml"/>
</ElementManifests>
</Feature>
Also, can this be part my solution package WSP for the feature itself so that it gets deployed with the feature?
Thanks in advance
You have two options here. Either you create a custom list template so that you can specify the id of your custom list template in your elements file, or you have to attach your event receiver through code (feature receiver).
The problem with registering an event receiver declaratively is that you can only specify the list template id (effecting all lists based on the specified template), but not a single list name or id.
You can find an example of such a feature receiver in this article: http://www.sharepointdev.net/sharepoint--development-programming/whether-there-is-a-way-to-register-a-custom-event-handler-at-a-special-list-63446.shtml
I have the following Feature:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Feature Id="9A3C5D02-A2EB-4725-97F7-CDA6DE319F1B"
Title="My Custom Types"
Scope="Site"
DefaultResourceFile="core"
Hidden="TRUE"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<ElementManifests>
<ElementManifest Location="Elements.xml" />
<ElementFile Location="templates/MeetingMinutes.docx" />
</ElementManifests>
</Feature>
Which contains the following Elements.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Module Name="Templates" Url="_cts/Meeting Minutes" Path="templates" RootWebOnly="TRUE">
<File Url="MeetingMinutes.docx" Type="Ghostable" />
</Module>
<ContentType
ID="0x01010066DD088A6B8B46BCA775CCD119FBB3E8"
Name="Meeting Minutes"
Group="Custom Content Types"
Version="0">
<FieldRefs />
<DocumentTemplate TargetName="MeetingMinutes.docx"/>
</ContentType>
</Elements>
I then use this ContentType within a custom List Template:
<ContentTypes>
<ContentTypeRef ID="0x0101">
<Folder TargetName="Forms/Document" />
</ContentTypeRef>
<ContentTypeRef ID="0x01010066DD088A6B8B46BCA775CCD119FBB3E8">
<Folder TargetName="Forms/Document" />
</ContentTypeRef>
<ContentTypeRef ID="0x0120" />
</ContentTypes>
I deploy the solution, activate the feature, and create an instance of the List Template. I go into the library and select Settings > Document Library Settings > Content Types: Meeting Minutes > Parent: Meeting Minutes > Advanced settings. I'm now in the Advance Settings of the Site Content Type. The URL of the existing document template is MeetingMinutes.docx and there is an (Edit Template) link which points to http://myserver/sites/testsite/_cts/Meeting%20Minutes/MeetingMinutes.docx. Everything's shiny.
But, I hit the back button two times so I'm back in the settings of the List Content Type. This time when I click Advance settings, the URL of the existing document template is still MeetingMinutes.docx, but there is no (Edit Template) link. Troubling.
Pressing on, I go back to AllItems.aspx and click New > Meeting Minutes. As Word is loading, I see a little Opening dialog which says, Opening: http://myserver/sites/testsite/Shared%20Documents/Forms/Document/MeetingMinutes.docx, to which Word responds: "Word was unable to read this document. It may be corrupt."
So the Document Template works correctly in the Site Content Type (where it does me no good), but is not working in the List Content Type (where I really need it). Now, I know I could put this in _layouts, but from what I've read, _cts is the way to do it. What am I doing wrong?
Rich, I'm not exactly sure what's going on because I created a feature using your feature and elements files as you specified and it works correctly for me.
There is one difference though.
When I create a new document in the library from the content type, the template url is
http://myserver/sites/testsite/Shared%20Documents/Forms/Meeting Minutes/MeetingMinutes.docx
Not
http://myserver/sites/testsite/Shared%20Documents/Forms/Document/MeetingMinutes.docx
Somehow your content type seems to be looking in the wrong folder for the template. I hope that gives you some clues.
I had the same exact problem with document template for List Content Type.
What I did is just what SharePoint do when you create your library from web site : duplicate the document template inside the “Forms” folder of the library in a subfolder that have the same name than the content type.
You just need to add a module element somewhere in your project :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Module Name="MeetingMinutesListInstanceTemplate" Url="Shared Documents/Meeting Minutes" Path="templates" RootWebOnly="TRUE">
<File Url="MeetingMinutes.docx" Type="Ghostable" />
</Module>
</Elements>
It worked for me.
