Adding custom button to Ribbon for custom list definition

I'm trying to add a custom button to the ribbon, specifically for a custom list definition. I have two custom list definitions, one for a document library (Type="11008") and one for a list (Type="10002").
I can use the following CustomAction to successfully add a button to the document library ribbon:
<CustomAction Id="MyCustomAction.DocLib"
RegistrationId="11008"
RegistrationType="List"
Location="CommandUI.Ribbon">
<CommandUIExtension>
<CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.Library.Share.Controls._children">
<Button
Id="MyCustomAction.DocLib.Button"
Alt="Help"
Sequence="5"
Command="SayHi"
Image32by32Left="-64" Image32by32Top="-320" Image32by32="/_layouts/$Resources:core,Language;/images/formatmap32x32.png"
Image16by16Left="-64" Image16by16Top="-176" Image16by16="/_layouts/$Resources:core,Language;/images/formatmap16x16.png"
LabelText="Say Hi!"
TemplateAlias="o1"/>
</CommandUIDefinition>
</CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIHandlers>
<CommandUIHandler Command="SayHi" CommandAction="javascript:alert('Hi!');"/>
</CommandUIHandlers>
</CommandUIExtension>
</CustomAction>
If I try to do the same thing for my list, the button does not show up:
<CustomAction Id="MyCustomAction.List"
RegistrationId="10002"
RegistrationType="List"
Location="CommandUI.Ribbon">
<CommandUIExtension>
<CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.List.Share.Controls._children">
<Button
Id="MyCustomAction.List.Button"
Alt="Help"
Sequence="5"
Command="SayHi"
Image32by32Left="-64" Image32by32Top="-320" Image32by32="/_layouts/$Resources:core,Language;/images/formatmap32x32.png"
Image16by16Left="-64" Image16by16Top="-176" Image16by16="/_layouts/$Resources:core,Language;/images/formatmap16x16.png"
LabelText="Say Hi!"
TemplateAlias="o1"/>
</CommandUIDefinition>
</CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIHandlers>
<CommandUIHandler Command="SayHi" CommandAction="javascript:alert('Hi!');"/>
</CommandUIHandlers>
</CommandUIExtension>
</CustomAction>
What am I missing that is keeping me from getting this button to show up in my List ribbon?

Well, I debated just deleting my question, but I'll leave it up in case someone else runs into this. My custom list definition for my list had <Toolbar Type="Freeform" />. I don't remember why I changed that, but once I changed
that back to <Toolbar Type="Standard"/> my custom buttons started showing up as expected.
The answer
here pointed me in the right direction.

Can I add Custom Content Type created programmatically to Custom List Definition?

I have created Custom content type programmatically in the Feature Receiver. Followed by this have another feature which creates List Template. I want to add the custom content type to the list template.
Using VS 2012, I added the custom content type to the list definition. The Schema.xml for the list definition looks as below:
<ContentTypes>
<ContentTypeRef ID="0x010100D7D9F4B1F4A9684BB44389571024B2EC00C393BB21B8AD7B41B62A87DF0501504D" />
</ContentTypes>
ID was automatically added by the VS tool.
List Template is created, the new content Type is also added, but the Name is displayed as "Document" instead of the custom content type name. So I see two CTs with the name "Document".
How can I achieve this? Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
Please add EnableContentTypes="TRUE" in the <List > tag.

Hide a field inherited by the content type in a custom list definition

The requirement is to create new content type that inherits from a Parent content type. I also created custom document library definition that uses the newly created content type.
There are some fields that are inherited from the parent type that I would like "NOT TO" show in the edit/display form in the libraries created based on the new list definition.
How can I achieve this? In the list definition, I added ShowInEditForm="FALSE" and ShowInDisplayForm="FALSE" ShowInViewForm="FALSE".
But these fields won't hide and it still shows up when a new document is uploaded. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Custom List definition site columns managed properties not appearing in search results

Hi i developed a site column, custom content type and a list definition. I set the value for this column and started crawling but i don't find these properties in search schema. If i add this column manually in a library and start crawling, these properties
are showed. What 's the difference?

HI,
I am able to finally crack the issue.
I forgot to add the Event Receiver for the new List Definition I was creating.
Added below lines in the Event receiver of List definition and found that the crawled properties and Managed properties (For Managed Metadata Columns) were creating successfully.
<Receiver>
      <Name>TaxonomyItemSynchronousAddedEventReceiver</Name>
      <Type>ItemAdding</Type>
      <Assembly>Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy,

Hide the 'Download a copy' button from ribbon for sharepoint online.

Hi,
I using SharePoint online, in that for a document library need to hide the 'Download a copy' button from ribbon.since from that document library no document to be downloaded.

Very interesting answer Ravinchandra. I've tested it without editing page in SP Designer and just by adding it in a script editor web part and it has the same result.
However in my scenario I would need to dynamically hide/show same based on the curent user's permission.
How could I make your script integrate with javascript from this post to achieve above?

Adding a button to the Open Items List

Hiya everyone, I am trying to add a button to the Open List Items form (formType - 152) which is located in Reports -> Sales & Purchasing -> Open Items List. When I attempt to add a button to that particular form it does not appear. The only form I seem to be be able to add a button to is on the main menu. I have added my code below:
Private Sub CreateMySimpleForm()
        Dim oItem As SAPbouiCOM.Item
        Dim oButton As SAPbouiCOM.Button
       oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.ActiveForm
        oItem = oForm.Items.Add("80", SAPbouiCOM.BoFormItemTypes.it_BUTTON)
        oItem.Left = 6
        oItem.Width = 65
        oItem.Top = 51
        oItem.Height = 19
        oButton = oItem.Specific
        oButton.Caption = "View Document"
    End Sub
Has anyone got any ideas.....Thanks

I have discovered that the button appears if the Open List Items window is open when I run my code so the button can actually appear on that form. However, how do I change this line :
oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.ActiveForm
so that it specifies that the button will appear only on the Open List Items form. When I change that line to:
oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.GetForm("152",1 )    ....it keeps on complaining that it cannot find that form.
I'm not sure what the Count is supposed to be in:
GetForm(Type As String, <b>Count</b> As Integer)
If anyone could help me out I would be grateful.....Thanks

New SP Custom List results in Power Query Error: Expression.Error: The key did not match any rows in the table.

Hi,
I'm running into something that seems to be a bug in Power Query. I've got my Power Query tables from SharePoint lists into Excel and Power Pivot data model. (Making sure the SharePoint site is in English and I replace MMD columns with normal columns).
But then, when I close down Excel, add another custom list to SharePoint, open the Excel workbook and want to add that new custom list using the same connection (via recent data sources).
It shows the newly added custom list in the explorer but with an error:
Nothing I can do to fix this; restarting Excel or PC; nothing.
The only way I got around this was by removing all my existing data sources and re-create them..
after that, the same SharePoint custom list WAS read with Power Query without an issue.
Thanks,
Jeroen

Its because of recent updates to Power Query.
In recent updates internally their is some change in syntax for reading particular table from list (I faced this issue while reading data from Excel file, i.e After applying recent update of Power Query my Queries which were working fine before starting
throwing same error that yo are facing).
As solution their is small tweak to be done in existing queries, instead of recreating all queries. If you can provide me your complete old query from Advanced editor then I can point to tweak that need to be done.
Thanks,

Quick Edit Greyed out in Custom List

I have set up a SP 2013 environment using the trial software. I have created a new custom list using the
Custom List App. I've created all the columns and I just want to use Quick Edit to be able to cut and paste columns from an excel sheet (I'd prefer to import the excel sheet but that icon is missing!). Unfortunately, this is greyed out.
Just to test further, I created another custom list using the Custom List in DataSheet View
App - I can use Quick Edit in this list.
Is there a way to enable Quick Edit in my original list..? I don't want to recreate all the columns again - there are quite a few.
Thanks

I'm late to the game on this, but I just encountered the same issue. SP Foundation 2013 demo in a VM. Simple, four-column list. Nothing fancy. I have the box checked to 'Allow individual item checkboxes.
The important variable for me is that I set the view to display Newsletter style. That's what's causing the Quick Edit box to gray out (apparently, any choice other than Default causes this).
I found a resolution at https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2876824?wa=wsignin1.0 . Eventhough that page talks about SP Online, the proposed fix works on SPF also. Click
the List tab on the ribbon for your list. Then, click Modify View. Scroll down and click on the plus sign next to Style to expand that section. From the 'View Style' choices, select Default.

Create List Definition Programmatically using Feature Receiver

I am using a Feature Receiver to create a custom content type in the FeatureActivated event. I know know to create a list instance through code to use my content type.
What I would like to do is create a custom list definition (list template) to use my custom content type in the FeatureActiviated event. I would like to do this entirely through C# code only (no xml files). I have been unable to find
any examples of creating a list definition through code on MSDN.

I hope below sample will be helpful for you to create a custom list and fields using code.
In below code block, I have used different field types which include Text , Date, Boolean, choice & lookup filed.
public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.ID);
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb(SPContext.Current.Web.ID);
SPList listExistCheck = web.Lists.TryGetList("My List");
SPList customList;
if (listExistCheck == null)
// Create list and record returned guid
Guid customPagesListGuid = web.Lists.Add("My List",
"My List", SPListTemplateType.GenericList);
//Get list from stored guid
customList = web.Lists[customPagesListGuid];
// Set list properties and add required content types
customList.Title = "My List";
customList.OnQuickLaunch = true; // Set to true to display on the quick launch
customList.ContentTypesEnabled = true;
customList.EnableFolderCreation = true;
customList.EnableSyndication = false; // Turn off rss
customList.Update();
customList.Fields.Add("First Name", SPFieldType.Text, true);
customList.Fields.Add("Last Name", SPFieldType.Text, true);
customList.Fields.Add("Company Name", SPFieldType.Text, false);
customList.Fields.Add("Contact Number", SPFieldType.Text, true);
customList.Fields.Add("Email", SPFieldType.Text, false);
customList.Fields.Add("Post Code", SPFieldType.Text, true);
customList.Fields.Add("Interest", SPFieldType.Choice, false);
//For adding lookup coumn
SPList targetList = web.Lists.TryGetList("Pages");
if (targetList != null)
customList.Fields.AddLookup("News", targetList.ID, false);
SPFieldLookup lookup = (SPFieldLookup)customList.Fields["News"];
lookup.LookupField = targetList.Fields["Title"].InternalName;
lookup.AllowMultipleValues = false; lookup.Update();
//for using choice field
SPFieldChoice fieldStatus = (SPFieldChoice)customList.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName("Interest");
string[] activityTypes = { "Interest 1", "Interest 2" };
fieldStatus.Choices.AddRange(activityTypes);
fieldStatus.DefaultValue = "Interest 1";
fieldStatus.Update();
//using multiline field
customList.Fields.Add("Response", SPFieldType.Note, true);
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
customList.Update();
//adding fields to default view
SPView dView = customList.DefaultView;
dView.ViewFields.Add("News");
dView.ViewFields.Add("First Name");
dView.ViewFields.Add("Last Name");
dView.ViewFields.Add("Company Name");
dView.ViewFields.Add("Contact Number");
dView.ViewFields.Add("Email");
dView.ViewFields.Add("Interest");
dView.ViewFields.Add("Response");
dView.Update();
customList.Update();

Cannot remove description field after adding to the Custom List

Hello,
Applies To: SharePoint 2013
Problem: We created a Custom List and added a Description column from "Add from existing site columns" link. Now we need to remove it and it seems to have been sealed. We are not able to delete it.
There is no remove/delete link/button when we click on the field. Moreover in the Content Type it only shows Required, Optional, Hidden.
Requirement: Need to remove this field from the Custom List. Incidentally we added two of the description fields. We need to remove both of them without deleting the list itself.
Thank you and
Regards
Tanzim Akhtar

Hi Tanzim,
Try the following code. I tested it and it should work for you.
Add-PSSnapIn Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell
$web = Get-SPWeb "Web URL"
$list = $web.Lists["List Name"]
$field = $list.Fields["Description"]
$field.AllowDeletion = $true
$field.Sealed = $false
$field.Delete()
$list.Update()
Remove-PSSnapIn Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell

As seen, the RegistrationID and list Type ID are the same so in theory this should work. Also, for other lists deployed through the same solution with the same Type ID, the ribbon tab and controls render perfectly fine.
Any ideas what may be the issue here?
Appreciate your input!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had an issue about the custom tab for list.
As you had said, the other tabs for other lists in the same solution worked well, the code would have no issues.
I recommend you create a new clean project with only one list and the tab to check whether it works.
What’s more, you can also change the list template type ID(such as 100), then check whether it works.
Thanks & Regards,

CRM 7.0 / IS-U: adding custom fields to Business agreement for replication

Hello Experts!
We're working on replication of custom fields from IS-U to CRM 7.0.
Can you help me with clarification of my understanding of these questions..?
1) CRM/IS-U mapping tables for buag_main:
Business Agreement(BUAG_MAIN) is a BO in CRM that corresponds to CRM table CRMM_BUAG and to Contract account in IS-U table FKKVKP.
Table FKKVKP were enhanced with some z-fields,
so we are going to enhance corresponding CRM table CRMM_BUAG (or CRMM_BUAG_H) with that new fields..
But we see that these CRM and IS-U tables have far not the same field structures..
So, the question: Which crm and is-u tables i should look, enhance and replicate for Business agreement?
2) Access to Business agreement with possibility to add custom field:
I couldn't find in Web UI where i can directly edit profile of Business Agreement..
I've found just access to assignment block "Business agreement" on Account's profile overview page..(Role ServicePRO; Account details).
There I used AET to add custom field..but I faced with problem when the 1st popup appeared: there was no enhanced object "Business Agreement"..
Also in role "Utilities IC Agent" i've found "business agreement" profile but there I don't see buttons for adding custom fields..
So, the question is: Where I can access Business agreement profile to enhance it with custom fields for replication with IS-U?
3) CRM/IS-U data exchange functions:
I tend to use tcode CRMC_BUT_CALL_FU:
for CRM inbound event of BUAG object - FM CRM_BUAG_MWX_PROCESS_EXT_STRUC..(as template).
Question: Am I right that it fits my requirement to replicate custom fields from IS-U to CRM?
Please tell me if you need more information..
Looking forward to your answers.
Thank you a lot in advance!
Kind regards,
Evgenia

Hi Gobi,
Thank you for advice. But:
I've created fields not by using AET - I used documentation that Nicolas suggested me above.
I've enhanced tables and structures that were mentioned there with my z-fields for both sides (CRM and ERP).
Also I looked CRMC_BUT_CALL_FU for CRM Inbound BUAG_MAIN - corresponding standard FMs are marked for call.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
BR,
Evgenia
