Custom Asset library List Definition

Hi All,
I am trying to create a list definition for asset library using visual studio 2010. Now the problem is there is no such template for Asset library available in visual studio, so can anyone please tell me the workaround for that??

Hi,
You can create the list definition based on the AssetLibrary by copy/paste the “AssetLibrary” folder under features directly.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

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"

</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"

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.

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,
Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c</Assembly>
      <Class>Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.TaxonomyItemEventReceiver</Class>
      <SequenceNumber>10000</SequenceNumber>
    </Receiver>
    <Receiver>
      <Name>TaxonomyItemUpdatingEventReceiver</Name>

List definition custom type ID or SharePoint base type ID ?

I have successfully created list definitions using a custom type value in the elements.xml as well as by leaving the type value at the Visual Studio default of 101 (for a custom document library).
Leaving the type value as 101 seems to work as long as the definition is in a feature on its own (so that the type is unique within that feature).
I have found articles that suggest that all list definitions should be given a unique type value (conventionally above 10000) and other articles that seem to suggest using the SharePoint built-in list types is valid.
Is the choice of type based upon whether I need to be able to differentiate my lists in the future or are there other technical reasons for preferring one method over the other ?
Thank you in advance for your advice as I hope it will prevent me choosing a wrong strategy (or picking up bad habits).

Greetings,
what I have done so far is :
1. Create site columns declaratively and deploy in a feature.
2. Create content types declaratively and deploy in a feature including a custom feature receiver to prime the content type (which if I understood correctly should propagate changes to the content types to lists).

4. Deploy list instances programmatically using event receiver.
Note : The highlighted bits relate to the type and feature id used in my content type deployment.
public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
SPWeb web = properties.Feature.Parent as SPWeb;
try
SPList list = null;
list = null;
foreach (SPList _list in web.Lists)
if (_list.Title.Equals("Administration"))
list = _list;
if (list == null)

"Administration documents", //List Description
"Lists/Administration", //List Url
"8ba84f44-fe8c-4789-a7dc-d264154041d2", //Feature Id of List definition Provisioning Feature – CustomList Feature Id
101, //List Template Type
"101"); //Document Template Type .. 100 is for None
web.Update();
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
catch (Exception ex)
The whole point of trying to create list definitions was that this seemed to be the only way for me to provide customized views for users at list creation time. If it wasn't for that then I think I could have created all of
these elements programmatically instead.
(I could not figure out how to create a list definition programmatically).
Please let me know what I should or shouldn't be doing in this deployment chain.
Thanks !!

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.

Thumbnail view for Library copied from Asset Library does not work

Hello ,
I created list definition based on Assed Library (I copied files from \15\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\AssetLibrary\AssetLibrary ) - I reused schema.xml and other files.
Then I added my new custom content type.
The problem is following: thumbnail view does not work now ( "/AssetLibraryDemo/Forms/Thumbnails.aspx" )
I don't have any javascript errors and any specific error in ULS log.
Can you give me advice, why thumbnail view has stopped working?

I need to use "List teplates" gallery functionality for this task.

Asset Library Video Customisation

Hi,
I have an asset library created on our Office 365 SharePoint Tenancy. We will be using this library for Video files. I have updated the library to have additional columns to reflect additional information required, for example our reference number
for the video we have uploaded. From the Asset library page, I have customised the list to display these additional columns of information. When I select the Video, the new page loads that has the video (which can be played on it), created information
and the description field.
What I would like to do is customise this page to include a box at the top that has the additional information that has been entered for the current video that is playing.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Adam

Hi Damas,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to add a custom field into the
videoplayerpage.aspx page.
For ahieving it, you can open videoplayerpage.aspx with SharePoint Designer 2013, then find
<div id="idVideoSetDescriptionContainer" class="TextGreyStyle DivSectionStyle"> and add
<SharePointWebControls:FieldValue FieldName="test" ControlMode="Display" runat="server"/>,
like the screenshot below:
Note: you need to change the "test" to the name of your custom field.

Wendy

How do I completely enable a new custom asset in Correspondence Management?

Hello!
I'm trying to add a new custom asset to the Correspondence Management Solution Accelerator, and have it behave like all other assets in the system (ie searchable, updateable etc). I'm almost there, but there's obviously something I'm missing, and I was hoping someone here might have done this before, or have a link to some documentation regarding the matter that I may have missed. The asset I'm trying finish creating is for a LiveCycle user in a specific domain. This is what I've done so far...
I've created the asset definition MyUser.fml and placed it in the FSIApp\Portal\webapp\WEB-INF\assetDefinitions folder. I've then registered this fml file in the spring-config.xml file in both the 'lc.cm.assetDefinitionsDeployer' and 'lc.cm.assetTypeRegistryBootstrapper' beans. In the 'lc.cm.assetTypeRegistryBootstrapper' bean, I set the key to 'MyUser', and the value to the class path of my Java class that represents this asset.
On the Java side I've created the MyUser.java class, as well as MyUserService.java and MyUserServiceImpl.java to allow the searching, updating etc of the MyUser assets.
After running the Bootstrap process, I can log into the Manage Templates application, select Data Dictionaries from the 'View' dropdown, and view/edit the MyUser data dictionary properties with no problems. So I'm happy that the asset has successfully been registered with the application.
Where I'm stuck is choosing the MyUser asset from the drop down, and searching the system for assets of that type. I can choose the MyUser asset type from the 'view' drop down, but the search result returns an empty array.
From digging into the existing Manage Templates code, I've created the following classes:
public interface IMyUserService extends IEventDispatcher - containing the following function definitions:
          function getMyUser(id:String):IAsyncToken;
          function getAllMyUsers(param1:Query=null):IAsyncToken;
public class MyUserSeviceProvider extends ServiceProvider - containing a getter/setter for MyUserServiceDelegate
public class MyUserServiceDelegate extends ServiceDelegate implements IMyUserService - containing the functions defined in IMyUserService, as well as creating the RemoteObject to perform the actions.
The MyUserServiceDelegate constructor is:
     public function MyUserServiceDelegate ()
            super();
            _service = new RemoteObject("myapplication.services.myUserService");
            _service.showBusyCursor = true;
This is the code for the function in getAllMyUsers in MyUserServiceDelegate:
     public function getAllMyUsers(param1:Query = null):IAsyncToken
            var operationToken:AsyncToken = this._service.getAllMyUsers(param1);
            var token:IccToken = new IccToken(this.className + ".getAllMyUsers");
            operationToken.addResponder(getDefaultResponder(token));
            return token;
I've also made changes to the following config files to register the RemoteObject destination specified in the MyUserServiceDelegate constructor:
spring-http-config.xml:
     <bean name="/service/UserService" class="org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpInvokerServiceExporter">
        <property name="service" ref="myapplication.services.myUserService" />
        <property name="serviceInterface" value="com.mydomain.lc.services.MyUserService" />
    </bean>
remoting-config.xml:
     <destination id="myapplication.services.myUserService"/>
flexmessagebroker-servlet.xml
     <flex:remoting-destination ref="myapplication.services.myUserService" />
Above my Java class definition of MyUserServiceImpl.java I have the following line:
@Service("myapplication.services.myUserService")
So......
My problem is that when I choose the MyUser asset from the drop down, no search results are returned (an empty array is returned). I have logging code in the getAllMyUsers function in the MyUserServiceDelegateclass.as, as well as logging in the MyUserServiceImpl.java class (not shown in the above code snippets) and neither of them fire when selecting the MyUser asset from the drop down. So neither of the classes are being called on the search. If I force a search via the following line:
MyUserSeviceProvider.getMyUserService().getAllMyUsers();
the logging in both the Flex and Java classes works (and the java class returns the results as expected). So I'm happy that these functions, as well as the linking between the Flex and the Java side is working correctly.
The step that I can't seem to work out is having the selection of the asset in the drop down call the desired function automagically. I've been digging into the SearchManager, the ServiceLocator and heaps of other classes, but I'm falling deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole...
Can anyone shed some light on what they think might be needed to make the final link here? I've been digging and digging into the code for days now and my brain hurts!!
Any advice appreciated!!
Thanks,
Kristian

Hi Saket,
By 'not really complete' I'm assuming (hoping) that some work has been done on this already. Our project requires the use of custom assets, so it's very important that we get this functionality running as soon as possible.
Any help, unsupported or otherwise, would be great. Feel free to email me any details if you'd prefer not to post anything public on the boards.
Cheers,
Kristian

Visual Studio 2013 is creating new feature every time new list definition is added

We are using Visual Studio 2013 and details are as under:
Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2013
Version 12.0.30501.00 Update 2
We we add a new list definition in our project, it creates a new feature with it. If we delete the feature and add list definition in the existing feature, list is created but columns are not added in the list.
Same thing happened if we rename "Feature1", a new feature is created every time a new list definition is created.
This doesn't happen when we add a Visual WebPart.
Also, we have three different custom list option in the drop down in new list creating wizard.
Is this a bug or we are doing something different.

Intellisense has a bug in VS2013 where it doesn't recognize InitializeComponent when you start working on the XAML. My feeling is that if you try to compile this app, it will run fine (as long as there are no actual errors).

If my reply answers your question, please mark this post as answered.
NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined
objects and unknown namespaces.

Powershell Script to create "custom" Document Library

I have a powershell script which creates a Document Library for every user in AD.
This works, but rather than using the default Document Library I want it use a custom Document Library. However this isnt working.
My script to create the default Document Library is this...
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load("Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c")
$site = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite("http://servername/sitename");
$siteweb = $site.OpenWeb();
$webs = $siteweb.Webs;
$strFilter = "(&(objectCategory=User)(name=accountname))"
$objDomain = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry
$objSearcher = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher
$objSearcher.SearchRoot = $objDomain
$objSearcher.PageSize = 1000
$objSearcher.Filter = $strFilter
$objSearcher.SearchScope = "Subtree"
$colProplist = "samaccountname"
foreach ($i in $colPropList){$objSearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add($i)}
$colResults = $objSearcher.FindAll()
foreach ($objResult in $colResults)
$objItem = $objResult.Properties; $objItem.samaccountname
$listTemplate = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListTemplateType]::DocumentLibrary
$listId = $siteweb.Lists.Add($objItem.samaccountname, "", $listtemplate);
$list = $siteweb.Lists.GetList($listId, $true);
$roleDef = $siteweb.RoleDefinitions.GetByType("Contributor");
$user = "domain\" + $objItem.samaccountname;
$rolAssign = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPRoleAssignment($user, "email", "name", "notes");
$rolAssign.RoleDefinitionBindings.Add($roleDef);
if(!$list.HasUniqueRoleAssignments)
{$list.BreakRoleInheritance($true);}
for ($i = $list.roleAssignments.Count - 1; $i -gt -1; $i--)
{ $list.RoleAssignments.Remove($i) }
$list.RoleAssignments.Add($rolAssign);
$list.Update();
Now I have a custom Document Library named "TESTLIB" so if I substitute the line:
$listTemplate = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListTemplateType]::DocumentLibrary
with
$listTemplate = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListTemplateType]::TESTLIB
Then it errors with this...
How can I script powershell to create a "custom" Document Library?
Thanks

How can i get a full url of video uploaded in asset library on sharepoint 2013

Hi All,
I have videos in SharePoint 2013 Asset Library, now i want display that videos in my SharePoint webpage as a webpart.
Now, how can i get a full url of video uploaded in asset library?
Thanks in Advance!

The Asset library does a pretty good job of hiding the full URL. An "asset" item is actually a folder. The folder contains the video and support files like preview thumbnails.
So, if you upload a video named butterfly.wmv to http://yourSite/sites/demo/Assets the path to the video would be http://yourSite/sites/demo/Assets/butterfly/butterfly.wmv. If the user changed the name while uploading the file to "Pretty bugs"
the URL would then be http://yourSite/sites/demo/Assets/Pretty%20Bugs/butterfly.wmv.
Probably the best way to explore these hidden folders and discover the "real" URL is to use SharePoint Designer 2013.
Launch SharePoint Designer and open your site.
In the Navigation area click "All Files". (If you don't see All Files then your administrators may have partially locked down SPD.)
In the list of files and folders click the Assets library.
Find and click your video (you will see the "Name" as entered in the file's properties, not the file name.)
Find the video file, right-click it and click Properties.
Copy the Location.
If you just want to display the video in the page:
Edit the page
Click INSERT
Click Web Part
From the Media and Content category select Media Web Part and click Add.
Edit the web part (click the web part's dropdown)
From the MEDIA ribbon click Change Media
Click From SharePoint and navigate to your assets library and pick a video

issue.And how to Get a uploaded video Thumnail image.

Hi,
I did a test with your code in my environment and it works fine.
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest you debug your code step by step. You may need to check if file.ListItemAllFields.ID is valid.
If you want to get video Thumnail image, there is a column named Preview Image URL, the internal name of the field is AlternateThumbnailUrl.
You can get the field value using Sever Object Model like below.
String url = item[“AlternateThumbnailUrl”].ToString();
Here is a similar thread for your reference:
