During my POC, I was trying to add custom action to a callout same like, Share and follow. found easy way to do it with following script. SP.SOD.executeFunc("callout.js", "Callout", function () { var itemCtx = {}; itemCtx.Templates = {}; itemCtx.BaseViewID = 'Callout'; // Define the list template type itemCtx.ListTemplateType = 101; itemCtx.Templates.Footer = function (itemCtx) { return CalloutRenderFooterTemplate(itemCtx, AddCustomAction, true); }; SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(itemCtx); }); function AddCustomAction (renderCtx, calloutActionMenu) { // Add custom action calloutActionMenu.addAction (new CalloutAction ({ text: "Custom Action", tooltip: 'This is your custom action', onClickCallback: function() { console.log('Alert from custom action'); } })); } We are good to go!!

I was struck with requirement were having big list and workflow attached to it, need to cancel all running workflows.  It could be either manually traverse all the way and stop it, was next to impossible. Following script helped me to save my time! $web = Get-SPWeb "http://mysharepointserver.com/subsite"; $web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = $true; $list = $web.Lists["CustomListName"]; $count = 0 foreach ($listItem in $list.Items) { foreach ($workflow in $listItem.Workflows) { if(($listItem.Workflows | where {$_.InternalState -ne "Completed"}) -ne $null) { #Cancel Workflows [Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPWorkflowManager]:: CancelWorkflow($workflow); write-output "Workflow cancelled for : " $listItem.Title; } } } $web.Dispose(); Hope this will save your time!

I came across weird issue, I created a task list with the system account. This list is not able to view by any other users. Spent enough time on finding a cause. It was all due to IE, it was working fine with Chrome and other browsers. To make it work with IE: 1.  Active x and JS permissions has to be enabled. 2.  The site has to be in the trusted pool of you internet explorer.   3. D isable any extra add-o ns. Hope this small piece of information will save time

I came across to the requirement to create a custom view based on workflow status. Requirement was to show all the approved items. I found a interesting stuff, Filter will not work if we use words like below image: we would need use the number rather than the words (e.g. 2 instead of In Progress, 4 instead of Cancelled etc) Following list might help for this kind of requirement: Status Value Not Started 0 Failed on Start 1 In Progress 2 Error Occurred 3 Canceled 4 Completed 5 Failed on Start (retrying) 6 Error Occurred (retrying) 7 Canceled 15 Approved 16 Rejected 17 Hope this will save your time!

Hi, After my first blog on simple app, http://anujabhojani.blogspot.in/2013/06/step-by-step-sharepoint-2013-provider.html Now will go in detail about how to read and write SharePoint list with Provider Hosted App. Here to cover all the scenario implementing it with real example by creatingvTrello App. http://www.trello.com is basically a task management tool. I am developing app which will have following functionality, 1. App will take user token (oauth) from Trello to read all the cards  for current logged in user. 2. Trello will return token, which our app will store in one SharePoint list so next time when user visit the app, will get the token from list and directly get all the cards from trello. Now, lets start and build this app. 1. Having Default.aspx in my solution, adding following code in page_load to get the access token public partial class Default : System.Web.UI.Page { public static string userToken = string.Empty; Uri appWeb; s...

Here In this blog on SharePoint 2013 Provider hosted app will try to cover each and every steps to create provider hosted app. 1. Open Visual Studio 2012. 2. Click on New Project -> Select SharePoint template  3. Visual studio will prompt to add Office 365 SharePoint Site you are using and select the Provider-hosted from dropdown list. 4.  On selection of Provide Hosted, click Next you will be prompted with following screen. Select use a client secret option. 5. Now, Click on Finish. visual studio will take some time to prepare solution. 6. Solution has been created with two projects, looks like below image, 7.   App project will be deployed to SharePoint. And  AppWeb project will  be .Net Web Application.  8. Now lets Deploy Provider-Hosted App to SharePoint.  here, I am adding some sample test text in default.aspx as per below code, <html xmlns=" http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > <head r...

During development of provider hosted app, while deployment I was greeted with error : Web deployment task failed. (Connected to the remote computer ("waws-prod-hk1-001.publish.azurewebsites.windows.net") using the Web Management Service, but could not authorize. Make sure that you are using the correct user name and password, that the site you are connecting to exists, and that the credentials represent a user who has permissions to access the site.  Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_USER_UNAUTHORIZED.) After some research came to know need to download the Publish Profile from site and attached new publish profile, helps me to solve this issue. It was due to changes in site happens are not detected in old publish profile, which leads to this error. Hope this fix will save you time!

Hi there, I have configured SharePoint 2013 and Workflow Manager. Created new Site Collection. However I was not able to create SharePoint 2013 workflows. Option for"SharePoint 2013 Workflow" (but SharePoint 2010 workflows works). Issue was, The site collection was created using blank template, which doesn't include all necessary dependency features for creating workflows. Fix: we need to enable hidden feature WorkflowServiceStore using PowerShell. Enable-SPFeature -Identity WorkflowServiceStore –Url $yourUrl And finally I got option in SharePoint Designer:

Hi, Today while my research on SharePoint Provider hosted app with Azure, after deployment I was greeted with "The parameter 'token' cannot be a null or empty string ". I was almost crazy behind finding the cause. However finally I found some points which leads me to resolve this error. The ClientID in your AppManifest.xml and in your Web.Config should be same. In AppManifest.xml file domain reference to Azure should be HTTPS rather than HTTP. Should have proper permission on web,list,site collection according to your app.    Happy coding!

Hi there, I was having a requirement to create SharePoint 2013 approval workflow using 2010 template. workflow was attached to content type. Issue I was facing, while going to start the workflow it gives error of " The form cannot be rendered. This may be due to a misconfiguration of the Microsoft SharePoint Server State Service. For more information, contact your server administrator" After some research came to find the solution,  this is related to state service as mentioned in error above. Paste following commands in SharePoint management shell: $serviceApp = New-SPStateServiceApplication -Name "State Service" New-SPStateServiceDatabase -Name "StateServiceDatabase" -ServiceApplication $serviceApp New-SPStateServiceApplicationProxy -Name "State Service" -ServiceApplication $serviceApp -DefaultProxyGroup And now again I tried to start the workflow, and it started successfully!

I was facing weird issue in SharePoint 2013 Designer workflow. Scenario was, I wanted to create one list workflow where custom list was created programmatically and having my custom workflow task list created through code as well custom content type and outcome columns also created programmatically. Now in workflow stage having an Assign task action and in Outcome options using the above created content type and site columns, see the figure below: Issue here I was facing, Task result was always showing "TaskOutcome:0" i.e the default Outcome in task inspite of I selected any another option. example in above figure result was always coming "Action Plan Created". Tried different approaches to make it work: -While debugging tried various options to make it work, like installed update http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2767999 where it mentioned that "Assume that you use non-ASCII characters to name a task outcome field in a task in a cu...

Today while trying to publish the workflow, came across the weird error "Errors were found when compiling the workflow. The workflow files were saved but cannot run." After digging into it, came to the solution that need to    Re-register service into my site using   following commands: Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite 'https://my-host/mysite' -WorkflowHostUri 'https://workflowhost' -AllowOAuthHttp -Force I reopened SharePoint Designer again and problem disappeared. Hope this will save your time.
