Today I had a this request to show the ECB menu on the Title field instead of the Name field.

This was one of those requests I couldn't decline as it's in fact a very usefull feature.

So I looked at the OOTB functionality and I couldn't find a way to do it with OOTB functionality. Before I dug into the problem I asked my collegue and he thought it wasn't possible, then I stubled on http://community.zevenseas.com/Blogs/Robin/archive/2008/11/09/quicktask-webpart.aspx (Read this blog, the guy deserves to be MVP). I asked the guy in question and he wasn't sure it was possible aswell.

I couldn't live with that awnser, so I tried finding a work-around and now I have one.

I must warn you, it's not advised to change SharePoint files, but this technique can be used for custom document libraries.

So lets start:

1. Modify schema.xml

Open your schema.xml of the default Document library (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\DocumentLibrary\DocLib)

2. Locate List/MetaData/Fields

When found enter this custom Field, like this

</FieldRefs>

<Expr1>

</Expr1>

<Then>

<Expr>

</Expr>

</Case>

</SetVar>

<Expr>

</Expr>

</Case>

</FieldSwitch>

</SetVar>

</SetVar>

</ScriptQuote>

<Expr1>

</Expr1>

<Then>

<HTML>Druk op SHIFT+ENTER om het menu te openen (nieuw venster)</HTML>

</Then>

</IfEqual>

</Default>

</FieldSwitch>

</Then>

<Else>

</ScriptQuote>

</ServerProperty>

</ScriptQuote>

</ServerProperty>

</ScriptQuote>

</ServerProperty>

</ScriptQuote>

</ScriptQuote>

</MapToControl>

</ScriptQuote>

</ScriptQuote>

</ServerProperty>

</ScriptQuote>

</ScriptQuote>

</ScriptQuote>

</ScriptQuote>

</ScriptQuote>

</ScriptQuote>

</UrlBaseName>

<Expr1>

</Expr1>

<Then>

<HTML>Druk op SHIFT+ENTER om het menu te openen (nieuw venster)</HTML>

</Then>

</IfEqual>

<HTML>Nieuw</HTML>

</IfNew>

</Else>

</IfEqual>

</DisplayPattern>

</Field>

3. Locate Views/View base=1/ViewBody

Then search for

Modify it to this:

<!-- I changed the logic

If the fieldsname equals Title render the ECB around it

else show the field (this will call the caml of the field itself)

-->

<Expr>

</Expr>

</Case>

</Default>

</FieldSwitch>

4. Perform an IISReset

5. Et voila, this is the result

Records Center bug for long filenames

When you try to send documents to the records center that have a filename of 122 to 128 characters, then the records center throws exceptions.

After reflectoring the code I have found out that there's a bug in the check on the filename length. When the length of the file name with a unique extension added is longer than 128, then there's a miswritten substring executed. Instead of taking 128 and detract the extension it's reversed. So there's always a negative length in the substring.

This is written on the place where they create a new filename with the extension at the method Microsoft.Office.RecordsManagement.RecordsRepository.HoldingZone.StrMakeName in the Microsoft.Office.Policy dll.

Solution: make sure that the filename length is less than 122 before it's send to the records center or develop a custom router where you check the filename yourself.

Custom Fields with Custom Controls with Custom Properties

A lot of Custom in the title, but that's also the main purpose of this blog.

Let me begin with an explaination of what I mean with:

Custom Fields: Your own type of Column to be used in the lists. Examples are Telephone number (with multiple parts) or in my case a MultipleFileSelector
Custom Controls: Your custom type will mostlikely need a custom way of representing itself. Examples are multiple textboxes for the Telephone number or in my case a Javascript Popup to select your file and add it to a list.
Custom Properties: Your own properties that customize your own field.

It is that latest that forms the most problems and I'll post the solution for it in here.

The problem is that there just aint no information about how to make your own properties for your own fields. And the explenation there is, will only help you out a bit.

We want to get this, a drop down for the options.

It starts by defining the fields in your own custom fldtypes_blabla.xml file.

<Field Name="TypeName">MultipleFileSelector</Field>

<Field Name="ParentType">MultiColumn</Field>

<Field Name="SQLType">nvarchar</Field>

<Field Name="TypeDisplayName">Multiple File Selector Field</Field>

<Field Name="TypeShortDescription">Multiple File Selector Field</Field>

<Field Name="FieldTypeClass">xxxxx.xxxx.xxxx.MultipleFileSelector.MultipleFileSelectorField, xxxxx.xxxx.xxxx, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=xxxxxx</Field>

<PropertySchema>

<Fields>

<Field Name="AllowedFileTypes" DisplayName="Allowed File types" Type="Choice">

<Default>Email Types</Default>

<CHOICES>

<CHOICE>Office Types</CHOICE>

<CHOICE>Email Types</CHOICE>

</CHOICES>

</Field>

</Fields>

</PropertySchema>

<Expr>

</Expr>

<HTML>

<![CDATA[<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">var strHost = "]]>

</HTML>

<HTML>

<![CDATA[";var strOfUrls = "]]>

</HTML>

<HTML>

<![CDATA[";var arrOfUrls = strOfUrls.split(";#");var iLength = arrOfUrls.length;for(i=0;i < iLength;i++){if(arrOfUrls[i] != ""){var strFullUrl = strHost + arrOfUrls[i];var strHtml = strFullUrl.link(strFullUrl);if(i > "1"){strHtml = "<br/>" + strHtml};document.write(strHtml);}}</SCRIPT> ]]>

</HTML>

</Default>

</Switch>

</RenderPattern>

</FieldType>

You need to add a PropertySchema to your field. This element has fields as childs and here you can add your Choices.

The next part is reading the selected value from within your field:

/// <summary>

/// This will allow you to define which types are possible

/// </summary>

public string AllowedFileTypes

{

get

{

return this.GetProperty("AllowedFileTypes");

}

And the last part is setting a default value in the schema.xml for your own Custom Lists like this:

If you combine this all you can get really handy fields like this:

This is a field that lets you select multiple files to add to your item. It uses ajax to fasten things up. It also uses the UrlAssetSelector to help you chose the files.

Small note: You always need to make a DisplayPattern in CAML or else your Field won't show up.

Customizing Menu's in SharePoint

In this blog I'll rant about how and what menu's you can change in SharePoint. The core of this article will be about adding items to the NewMenu.

Okay, so now you know what this article is about, let me make 2 things clear.

There is a difference in Menu's.

First you have the Left Menu called Quick Launch and the Top Menu called Top Navigation. The second kind of Menus are the following: SiteActions, Menu Toolbars, Personal Actions, Edit Control Blocks, ...

To manipulate the first set, you have different ways:

Add links in your custom schema.xml. This will make sure that every site you create has the same links.
Add NavigationNodes to QuickLaunch and TopNavigation collections in the SPWeb object of your site. This is a way to programatically change your menus. You'll find a lot of this on the web.
Make your own SiteMapProvider and change the datasource of those ASP Menu's. I'm really fond of this way, because then I have absolute control about who sees what and I can do a lot more than what SharePoint offers you OOB. If you need more info about this, I can give you some ;)

To manipulate the second set, you have 2 options and they both require CustomAction features:

Use the CustomAction with the UrlAction child element. This lets you define one link to a custom application page, url, ... . The key is that you have 1 element per custom action. There are also a lot of articles about this, so I'll skip this aswell.
Use the CustomAction with ControlClass attribute. This lets you create a custom WebControl that will enable you to control whatever you want. This is what I want !!!!

Now we have more or less all the possibilities summed, I shall now focus on the latter way to have my Menu's behave how I want.

Before I move on I need to give you the following links:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms460194.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb802730.aspx
http://johnholliday.net/resources/customactions.html

They are great resources about where you can put your links and what the GroupId & Locations are.

Okay now we're ready to start.

I mentioned you can do whatever you want with the ControlClass way, but to give you an Idea these are the things I do:

Hide Menus dynamically. Okay you can do a lot with Permissions, but sometimes it's just not that easily.
Add SubMenus dynamically. This is what I'll show you.

First you need to understand how the Feature System works.

It all starts with some user control who has a child repeater control who gets dynamically filled with ToolBarButtons, these ToolBarButtons get filled with MenuTemplates, which can be SubMenuTemplates and MenuItemTemplates.

SubMenuTemplates can hold SubMenuTemplates and MenuItemTemplates.

MenuItemTemplates are clickable and perform some action.

When you use the CustomAction feature with the ControlClass, your control gets wrapped around a FeatureMenuTemplate, which is a different kind of MenuTemplate.

So your Location field determines which user control will load your feature and the GroupId where your feature will get loaded.

To filter your can use RegistrationType and RegistrationId attributes. This lets you define on what kind of element your feature will work on.

Back to the ToolBarButtons, those are inherited to form special buttons, examples are NewMenu and ActionsMenu. By inheriting the ToolBarButton they can add special functionality to it. For example the NewMenu behaves very differently with a Survey list. It also fucks up your CustomAction, but I'll explain it in a moment.

Okay, now you should have an idea about how your control fits the puzzle.

So what do we need ?
A feature.xml
A elements.xml
A custom dll with your custom webcontrol.

Because we want our menu to be shown at the NewMenu we have another file aswell, my FixupJavaScript.js.

For those who have written CustomActions with custom WebControls, there is nothing new. Except when they tried to add it to the NewMenu, they should have noticed that nothing gets rendered. I have a solution for this. And for those who saw there control, but it was flickery, I also have a solution. Basicly I can do this:

So here's my code:

Feature.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Feature Id="{DF5009DE-15B7-4397-9933-995727F3E276}"
         Title="New Template Selector"
         Description="Helps chosing templates from the New Document link"
         Version="1.0.0.0"
         Scope="Web"
         Hidden="FALSE"
         xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/" >
<ElementManifests>
      <ElementManifest Location="elements.xml" />
</ElementManifests>
</Feature>

elements.xml:

<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<CustomAction
    Id="CustomActionNewTemplateSelector"
    RequireSiteAdministrator="FALSE"
    GroupId="NewMenu"
    Location="Microsoft.SharePoint.StandardMenu"
    ControlAssembly="MyDLL"
    ControlClass="MyDLL.CustomTemplateSelector"
    Sequence="10"
    RegistrationType="List"
    RegistrationId="101"
    Title="New Template"
    Description="Use this menu to select a template"
    >
</CustomAction>
   
</Elements>

CustomTemplateSelector.cs:

/*
* This control dynamically loads the document templates for the different business units
* There are some extra's added to make it function under the NewMenu
* - Override of the Render method that explicitly calls the RenderChildren function
* - Addition of a Fixup Script to fix some javascript in the Core.Js

FixUp.js (place this in your layouts folder)

There's more to be said.

Your Menu gets rendered by JavaScript, this javascript is located in the Core.Js. There are some problems with it, namely it doesn't really behave good when hovering on top of your custom menu.

You cannot insert basic javascript blocks to override this functionality, because the Core.Js gets loaded after your page has loaded. They've done this by adding the defer keyword to the script tag. That's why we need to this aswell, so our function gets loaded after the one in the core.js and thus override it.

I couldn't do this with Page.ClientScript. ... methods, because none has the option to add the defer keyword.

Have fun with it. If you do have problems with it, post a comment or mail us.

The Power of Data View Web Part

In my search to a nice Picture Web Part I came across some things.

2 free Flash Web Parts that SlideShow pictures from a Picture Library. Here are the links:
http://www.flexnetconsult.co.uk/WebParts/WebParts.htm

The downside of these Web Parts is that's it SlideShow WebParts, not really useful as Picture Viewer. But hey it's free, so you might want to test it J

The opposite of Flash is ofcourse SilverLight.

There is a nice free SilverLight project on codeplex called Slide.Show
http://www.codeplex.com/SlideShow

Very handsome and customizable SilverLight project, but … no SharePoint integration. I could have used my Web Part to host it, but no.

Second SilverLight option SilverLight Photoviewer. A photoviewer with the functionality you need. Except, it's in beta fase and doesn't run now J. It does however have SharePoint integration.
http://www.codeplex.com/bjspv

There was some a mention of using the Data View Web Part instead of a hosting Web Part. See: http://www.wssdemo.com/Blog/archive/2008/01/05/sharepoint-picture-library-silverlight-demo-working-again.aspx
Not my taste and I don't know enough SilverLight to adjust it.

All this made me come to the following solution.

A Data View Web Part to show and browse your pictures. How do you start ?

Open SharePoint Designer and add a test page
Add a Data View Web Part to it
Select your Picture Library in the Data Source Panel
Show Data
Drag and drop the fields you need. One is enough to get started
Now SharePoint Designer makes all the XSLT you need for the library

From here on I'll show you some tricks about how to get some decent stuff

If you want a some function you don't know how to start, first look at the common tasks:
Right click and go to the arrow

Paging is one of those things that require a lot of functions
This option shows all your items in sets of 6 and adds a footer containing the navigation you need

At the Layout tab you can define most of the basic layouts. Use this before you fine tune your XSLT

General shows some more functions

Select one field of a row and right click: Format as.
This lets you change the variable to images, links, textboxes,. …

Conditional Formatting can be used to hide, highlight, … stuff.
Right Click on the row

Code view lets us then "generate" what we want see the if block

Editing Formula gives us the possibility to change the results. Very handy as you'll see later.

Formula Screen

Openign the Formula screen from within code view. Inside a XSLT tag enter a space

If you use fields elsewhere like in my example, be sure not to forget {} or else the value won't be substituted.

Now you know the basics and can start editing in code view. I made 2 XSLT views with a little of JavaScript and some CSS and got this.

The most importing part is this line:
<a href="{@FileRef}" onmouseover="changePicture('{@FileRef}');"><img height="110" border="0" src="{concat('/', substring-before(substring-after(@FileRef, '/'),'/'), '/_t/', substring-after(substring-after(concat(translate(@FileRef,'.','_'),'.jpg'), '/'), '/'))}"></img></a>

I had to change the link a bit so I could use thumbnails which are located in another folder. /Pictures/_t/filename_extention.jpg

Result:

XSLT used for it:
