Get link (Document Share) API in SharePoint 2013

Hi there,
We need a way to identify the automation or API for getting the anonymous link to a document in SharePoint 2013. We have a system where we query a given SharePoint site and show the user the document libraries and based on the document library selection,
we are showing the documents in the library. We have to give the share -> Get Link option to be automated through API, so they use that link to share with external users. But, as far as I know, I don't find any API to generate that link SharePoint is doing
today. Any ideas?
-Praveen.

At this time, there are not any official documents including sharing documents with external users by using calling APIs.
However, about the application of the APIs in SharePoint Online, like List and Library APIs and REST API, you may check detailed information in
SharePoint Online service description which including all of the features available in SharePoint Online.
For the requirements mentioned above, you are welcome to
submit feedback to our product team.
Many features of current programs have been designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. We always appreciate customers who can take the time to give us their constructive opinions.

Hi Siddhehswar:
I would suggest that you use the
Ribbon. Because this is a flexible way for SharePoint. In my project experience, I always suggest my customers to use it. In the feature, if my customers have customization about permission then i can accomplish this as soon
as possible. Simple put, I utilize this perfect mechanism to resolve our complex project requirement. Maybe we customize Upload/ Edit/ Modify/ Barcode/ Send mail etc... For example:
We customize <Edit> Ribbon. As shown below.
When user click <Edit Item>, the system will
render customized pop up window.

Managing Office documents (content & permission) inside SharePoint 2013 document libraries

I have a document library inside my SharePoint 2013 publishing site collection. And I have the following scenario:-
Someone add a word document to the document library,
I can click on the word document inside the document library, and it will open inside my word client application:-
Then I can click on “Edit document” button inside the word document.
Do some modifications.
Click on “Save” button.
And the changes will be saved to the sharepoint document library (which is great).
But I have the following questions:-
Who can basically edit the word document and publish the edit to the SharePoint again? is this restricted to only users who have “edit” permissions on the document library,?
Can I specify that only me or certain users can edit specific documents?
If I open the word document using Firefox or chrome , I will not be able to edit the document and publish it back to SharePoint? So is this feature within IE only ?
Can anyone advice please?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you have some questions about the documents in library.
For the first question: yes, only the user that has more than edit permission can edit/publish the documents.
For the second: we can set item level permission for libray using PowerShell to restrict only the created user can create and edit the items.
http://www.hersheytech.com/Blog/SharePoint/tabid/197/entryid/28/Default.aspx
For the third question: we can install the
IE-Tab in the Chrome or Firefox to support opening the documents directly.

Audit usage for REST API in SharePoint 2013

Hi,
Is there any OOB way for SharePoint to log access in REST API so that it will track which application/user uses the REST API?
Thanks,
Kenny

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to audit usage for REST API in SharePoint 2013.
Per my knowleadge, there is no out of the box way to accomplish this with SharePoint.
SharePoint 2013 introduces a Representational State Transfer (REST) service that is comparable to the existing SharePoint
client object models.
This means that developers can perform Create,
Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations from their apps for SharePoint, solutions, and client applications, using REST web technologies and standard Open Data Protocol (OData) syntax.

REST API reference and samples

Add new document link not working in upgraded sharepoint 2013?

Hello there,
Upgraded SharePoint team sites from 2010 to 2013. add new document link not working for shared document in upgraded sharepoint 2013?. it is specially not working on machine where Office web apps set up with this sharePoint server and it
is working fine with environment Office web apps not configured with Sharepoint.
Looking resoluion /suggestion, thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sushil

Hi Sushil,
According to your description, my understanding is that the add new document link was not working on machine where Office web apps set up with this SharePoint server after you upgraded SharePoint team sites
from 2010 to 2013.
For your issue, it can be caused by integrating Office Web Apps with upgraded SharePoint Site.
Firstly please make sure claims-based authentication is used by the SharePoint web application that is used to create the new document. Only web applications that use claims-based authentication can open
files in Office Web Apps. To determine the authentication provider for a web application, follow these steps:
1.In SharePoint 2013 Central Administration, click Manage web applications.
2.Select the web application that you want to check, and click Authentication Providers on the ribbon.
The authentication provider must be displayed as Claims Based Authentication for Office Web Apps to work correctly with the web application. To resolve this issue, you can delete the web application and recreate
it using claims-based authentication, or you can change the authentication method of the web application.
Secondly, make sure the WOPI zones match on the SharePoint 2013 and the Office Web Apps Server farm.
To do this, run the following command on the SharePoint Server:
Get-SPWopiZone
The result will be one of the following:.
internal-https
internal-http
external-https
external-http
Next, run the following command on the SharePoint Server.
Get-SPWOPIBinding
In the output, look for WopiZone: zone. If the results from Get-SPWopiZone don’t match the zone that is returned by Get-SPWOPIBinding, run the Set-SPWOPIZone -Zone cmdlet on the SharePoint Server to change
the WOPI zone to match the result from Get-SPWOPIBinding.
If not work, you can try to disconnect SharePoint 2013 from Office Web Apps Server and re-configure Office Web Apps for SharePoint 2013.

How to retrieve the users that are following a document using JSOM / REST APIs in SharePoint 2013

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know how to use JSOM / REST APIs to retrieve the users that are following a specific document in SharePoint 2013?
Thanks in advance,
Nam

Hi Nam,
Please use the sample code to get the followers for the document. Courtesy: Mokhtar
Bepari
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Social;
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext("http://URL");
SocialFollowingManager followingManager = new SocialFollowingManager(clientContext);
SocialActorInfo actorInfo = new SocialActorInfo();
actorInfo.ContentUri = "<documenturl>"; //set the document url.
actorInfo.ActorType = SocialActorType.Document;
//By using the GetFollowed method you can get the people who the current user is following.
ClientResult < SocialActor[] > followedResult = followingManager.GetFollowed(SocialActorTypes.Users);
//By using the GetFollowers() method you can get the people who are following the current user.
ClientResult < SocialActor[] > followersResult = followingManager.GetFollowers();
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Once you get the resultset you can iterate like below:
foreach(SocialActor actor in followedResult)
string name = actor.Name;
string imageURL = actor.ImageUri;

Document Set Creation in document library using REST API in Sharepoint 2013

Hi,
I want to create the document set using REST API call. Currently i am able to create the folder and able to upload the files using REST API's in the document library. Is there any way we can pass the contentype name or Id and create the document set using
REST API call. We need to create the document set along with metadata and upload the files inside the document set.
I need to create the document set along with meta data column values using REST API. Please let me know how we can achieve this through REST API.
Thank you,
Mylsamy

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create document set along with managed metadata fields.
The REST API does not currently support working with Managed Metadata or Taxonomy fields.
As a workaround, we can use the JavaScript Client Object Model.

'Share' functionality in SHarePoint 2013 - Prevent access to files

Hello
I have a client that has just moved to SP2013 and they used the send document link as hyperlink in email functionality of SharePoint 2010 regularly. THis was good for them because if the link was sent to a user that did not have access to a document
then they couldn't open it.
I would like to do the same thing in the 2013 environment and I have been making use of the 'Share' functionality. This does not seem to be working as if the Share functionality is used then the users specified get access to the document regardless
of their permissions.
Is there a way to stop users from opening documents if they are accidentally sent a link to a document they don't have access to?? it seems the 'Share' functionality overwrites it.

There are a few ways to do it:

http://removesharefollow.codeplex.com/

Disabling Access Requests should disable the Share feature.

Display Like and Share functionality in SharePoint 2013 search result

Hello Experts,
I dont Know whether i am asking a good question or bad one . but i am not very much expert in search.
I have to display No of Likes , Share functionality in SharePoint Search Results.
i know little basic about how display templates works. i want to implement these like and share functionality as actions in Item_common_hoverpanel_Actions template. show that i can see in preview.
please if any body can help me . i will be highly thankful to you.
Mukesh

This will be difficult. The number of likes has a managed property called LikesCount but it is not populated by the search crawler. So your JavaScript will have to read the "LikesCount" field of the corresponding list item. That would be a
lot of code to execute in the item display template just to display the number of likes. You could have a button that displayed a callout that would get the information and display it. The Sharing could be done via JavaScript in your item display template
using a REST call. You can see an example of code to do that here:
http://sharepointfieldnotes.blogspot.com/2014/09/sharing-documents-with-sharepoint-rest.html?showComment=1428595550241#c3227376854590814312
Just remember the user must have permission to share these documents, so your code will have to handle this.

Setting up a Document management system in SharePoint 2013

Hello All,
I have come across a scenario where Customer needs a Document management system for their organization.
They want to keep the documents of different departments like sales, HR,Finace in corresponding folders and want to include a workflow for approval of the Documents. Also, Documents related to particular department can be modified or added by users in that
department.
I thought of creating a seperate site collection for this purpose & document libraries of each department, setting up the permission on document library level. Is this a correct approach?
I am new to Enterprise content management system of sharepoint. Can anybody give me a guidance on this how to get started.

Creating separate site collection for each department will help you scale and grow better and easier to group SharePoint sites together.
Refer to the following articles which will give you an idea about the plan you should do before building a Document management system

Customise the email sent via the "Share" feature in Sharepoint 2013

We have modified a number of the alerts via the alerttemplates.xml file in the 15 hive already.
We want to modify the the email that is generated when a user in Sharepoint 2013 selects "share" on a document. We specifically want to add something to the Subject line of the email - just some text.
Can someone advise what the file name and location and the name of the AlertTemplate Name that we need to modify?
Cheers,
Clarky

Hi Clarky,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to modify the subject of the email when sharing a document with a user.
When sharing a document with a user, that is granting permission to the user on the document.
This email template is located in C:\program files\common files\Microsoft shared\web server extensions\15\Resources\core.en-US.resx, you can open this file in notepad to edit it. But it’s not suggested to change the file, before you modify it, take
a backup.
Best regards.
Thanks
