Hide or disable buttons in the ribbon

How do you hide a button for a specific library?
I'm trying to hide the Upload Document button. Users still need to be able to create new documents, just not upload them.
The solutions I've found are saying to create a Site Feature. But wouldn't that disable the button on all libraries in that site?
www.SharePointed.com

For testing, I created a new View (test.aspx).
Opened the View in SPD.
Before the closing tag of <asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server">
I added the below script. Clicked save, then opened the View. The Open with Explorer button is still in the ribbon.
<script Type="JavaScript">
var doc = document.getElementsByTagName('ie:menuitem');
for (var i = 0; i < doc.length; i++)
itm = doc[i];
if (itm.id.match('OpenInExplorer')!=null)
{ itm.hidden=true; }
</script>
Any ideas?

Hi,
            In Sharepoint 2013 online without visual studio, I need to create a copy button in the ribbon and by selecting a listitem and clicking the copy button. A new form has to be displayed with
the selected listitem data. Please help me in doing this scenario.
Scenario:
             Since Customer does not want to enter all the data once again. The customer will select a listitem and click the copy custom button in the ribbon, the data should be loaded in
a new form. The customer will do little modification and will click the submit button to save as a new list item.  Please help me in doing this scenario
Thanks

Enable or disable button on a ribbon based on user permissions in SharePoint 2010

Hi,
I have requirement to find a way to disable Inheritance, Add and Modify group from permission tab for users who are not added into specific group e.g. Administrators
I have followed the following article to create a feature but have encountered few issues:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff408060.aspx
Issues:
I used the above code as a sample to create a feature and test if it would work. It worked fine but even though i have replaced Location="Ribbon.Library.Actions.ConnectToClient" with my permission locations,
Connect to Outlook button still doesn't appear when the feature is activated. If i deactive this feature it shows
Connect to Outlook button even though there is no reference for this in the code!
I have modified the Elements.XML and have added the following code but it still disables the buttons for a user who has Site Collection Administrator permissions, i just want to disable this for users who are in particular group:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<CustomAction
Id="RemoveRibbonButton"
Location="CommandUI.Ribbon"
RequireSiteAdministrator = "TRUE"
>
<CommandUIExtension>
<CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIDefinition
Location="Ribbon.Permission.Modify" />
</CommandUIDefinitions>
</CommandUIExtension>
</CustomAction>
<CustomAction
Id="RemoveRibbonButton"
Location="CommandUI.Ribbon"
RequireSiteAdministrator = "TRUE"
>
<CommandUIExtension>
<CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIDefinition
Location="Ribbon.Permission.Add" />
</CommandUIDefinitions>
</CommandUIExtension>
</CustomAction>
</Elements>
I have also have another issue when this feature is activated even though i haven't removed 'Check' and 'Manage' Ribbon locations, they are also greyed out as shown it the screenshot below:
I have also created a user control using the following method:
http://sharepointroot.com/2010/06/18/remove-actions-from-the-ribbon-sharepoint-2010/
But again i need to restrict it specific user group.
Any advice how to do this? or which way is better creating a feature or creating a user control? even though i liked the creating the feature as it gives your more control.
Regards,
Kashif

Thanks for your reply Paul.
I do understand that this is a partial solution and wouldn't stop them completely from doing these actions using different UI but atleast it would remove these options from the ribbon which is causing us some major issues when clicked by mistake especially
'inherit permissions'.
We do have governance policies in place and a certain user group can add and remove users from SP site. But the issue we have currently is that when one of these (authorised) users uses 'inherit permissions from parent' site. This removes the unique
permissions from the subsite and delete all SP groups / permission level in the subsite. In some cases subsite contains confidential information which is then exposed to all the users who have access to the parent site.
The main button which i'm interested to disable is 'Inherit Permissions' which i believe can't be used from anyother UI apart from the ribbon.
I just need to know if it's possible to restrict this for some users or group? even if it just removes it from the ribbon only i would be still interested to explore this implementation.
Any help would be apperciated.

Kashif

How to dynamically add/remove a button from the ribbon based on some condition? (Ribbon XML)

Hi,
I have a ribbon (done using ribbon XML) with menu options. I need to remove few buttons from the menu dynamically based on some condition. Also, I want to change the label of another button. How to achieve this programmatically? (C#)
Thanks in advance.
Thanks Prasad

Hello Prasad,
Use callbacks for populating Ribbon controls such as menu, dropDown, gallery and etc. Then you can use the
Invalidate or
InvalidateControl methods of the
IRibbonUI interface to get your callbacks invoked when required. Thus, you will be able to delete the required item(s).
You will find the following articles in MSDN helpful:
Chapter 11: Creating Dynamic Ribbon Customizations (1 of 2)
Chapter 11: Creating Dynamic Ribbon Customizations (2 of 2)
To change the label of your controls at runtime you need to use the getLabel callback and call the Invalidate or InvalidateControl methods of the IRibbonUI interface. The following series of articles describe the Fluent UI in depth:
Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 1 of 3)
Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 2 of 3)

I would like to know if there is any possibility to change the URLs displayed when clicking in "Help" button from the Main Toolbar.
I think that it is not possible so that is the reason I was also asking the the "toolbar ID" in order to hide the button through "Toolbar customization".
Thank you very much in advance!
Regards,

Hi Laura,
We can change the URLs displayed when clicking in "Help" button from the Main Toolbar.
In System Properties please mention the URLs to which you want these links to point:
Documentation - system.help.url.buyside
E-Learning - system.link.community_url
Community - system.link.elearning_url
Guides - system.link.guides_url
Also you can customize the display names of these by changing the Localized Resource values for below
common$common.top_links.documentation_link.name
portal$portal.channel.help_center.training
portal$portal.channel.help_center.community
portal$portal.channel.help_center.guides
Hope this helps!!!

Hide Save Draft Button in the first step

Hi All,
I have requirement to remove Save Draft in the first step of HCM P&F. But I can not find how to hide or remove save draft in the first step.
Please kindly guide.
Best Regards,
Visut

We had the same issue on my most recent project. From the INITIAL step....ie. start the process....you can not (at this time) hide/disable that feature/button. As said above, it CAN be done in steps after that simply by setting the workflow binding on the parameter. Not sure how/why SAP missed the need for this. I would think it would be a "checkbox" of sort in your "Process Start" configuration in the Design Time....but nope.
In our case, we wanted to allow it for manager initiated processes, but not for employee initiated ones. Therefore, we set up a "check" on the workflow task that creates the "draft" work item to "trash" the ones from ESS and properly handle the ones coming from MSS. It was....interesting. haha We also changed the default "save as draft" message that shows so the users would know what had happened (ie. not supported in ESS).
Hopefully this becomes a config setting in coming EhPs.

Hide and show button at the top or at the end of the form

Hi,
I have the form that has 2 buttons, move up and move down, which is used to move the subform up or down. I currently have it to pop up a message: "The current item can't be moved up" when the user try to move that item up since they are already at the top of the form
or "The current item can't be moved down" since they are already at the bottom of the form.
Now I'd like to have one to be hidden depend on where on the current location instead of the pop up message.
Can any one please advise.
Thanks in advance,

Disabling button still the button works !!!???

Hi,
I'm either disabling a button by Screen Painter or by code and yet the button is still functional however it is greyed out and seems to be disabled to me visually.
Any ideas ?
SAP 8.81 PL08

Thanks so much. You are right. But I don't understand why apex does that? Because I has specified some java script in element tab of a hidde item.
But later I noticed that element tab itself is gone.
Changing item type broght the tab back and I could see my java script.
But its misleading. I thought my code is gone.
Thanks,

Hide Alert Me button of a Document Library

Hi All,<o:p></o:p>
I know there are some questions already out there on this topic. However, somehow I am
not able to make it work in my case.<o:p></o:p>
I want to hide Alert Me button on the ribbon for a specific document library. I added JavaScript
to hide the button, however the issue is, when the page is loaded, I couldn't
find the button, because it is still not available. <o:p></o:p>
I tried to handle the click event of the FILES and LIBRARY text. However, I think
SharePoint already has js files like, ribbon.js and core.js which handle the
click event for FILES and LIBRARY and display the buttons accordingly. So my
custom JavaScript function doesn't fire at all.<o:p></o:p>
Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. <o:p></o:p>

I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?

I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?
Let me explain a little more. I had downloaded a lot of free books in the past as a trial when iBooks was first released and since then I have decided I no longer want them, because of this I hid them from the purchased section of the iBooks store. The 5 books left are ones I decided to keep as seen in the following picture.
This is how it appears in iBooks on my mac. There are 4 books downloaded and 1 book that I have decided not to download at this time. I would still like to keep this book available in the cloud incase I want to download it again in the future. You’ll notice that hide iCloud books is not selected, if I wanted to hide the book that I have chosen to keep in the cloud, but have not downloaded yet I could.
This is exactly how I think this feature should work. If you have hidden a book from your purchases it should not show up in the mac Ibooks app. (I am aware you can never actually delete a purchase, just hide them and that hidden purchases can be restored to your account from within the account management section of the iBooks store).
The iOS app is working differently for me. Here is a picture of the purchased tab on the iBooks store in iOS Ibooks. Again notice that pictures of Lilly is still yet to be downloaded. This is how I expected it to look.
If we visit the front page of iOS iBooks the view is very different from what I expected. Here we can see the 4 books I wanted to keep on my device and have downloaded. We can also see the 1 book I wanted to keep, but did not want to store locally on the device and left in iCloud (Pictures of Lilly). However we can also see all the books I had hidden from the purchased section of my iTunes account and which I believe should no-longer be visible, Dracula, frankenstein etc…
I am aware of the hide iCloud books button within the iOS app, but I did not need to use this to hide the books I had removed from the my purchased section of the iBooks store on the mac, why are they still appearing in iOS?
I’m still not sure if this is a software glitch or not. This article suggests to me that books can be hidden, but I had already completed these steps.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201322
A browse of google also suggests people may have been able to hide past purchases from the front page of iBooks on iOS in the past.
In case there was an issue with syncing I tried logging in and out of my iTunes account via settings in iOS. Force closing the app, disabling automatic downloads and removing my device from iTunes in the cloud. Syncing with iTunes on the mac did not correct the issue either.
Interestingly I have the same issue on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 as I do on my iPad mini suggesting that this might be an issue either with my account or with iOS iBooks software in general.
If there is a way to remove the already hidden iBooks in your account from the front page of iBooks on iOS without using the hide iCloud downloads button? Please help community!

How to hide the "EXIT" button on the ESS Personal inf. iViews

Hello,
We are using SAP ECC 6.0 + SAP EP 7.0 + ESS 1.0 (latest Releases).
In the ESS iViews (Java WD) for Personal information (Adresse, Bank, Family, etc. there is the Button "Exit"..
Does any have any Idea where and how to hide this "Exit" Button in the iView/Java-WD?
Many Thanks,
Nazih

Hi Chris,
thanks for your reply.
If you mean to hide the button using the iView/WD Personalisation by rightclick on the iView in PCD and then Review, well yes i know this and i have tried this already before and we were able to hide some not required input fields in the Webdynpro, but we were not able to find and to hide the "EXIT" Button using the personalisation..!!?? you know why?
Why to hide the Exit button, i will tell you why, in the iView for maintainig the ESS Personal Information -> e.g. Adresse --> Edit Adresse View (Roadmap view No. 2) --> when User click on the Exit Button --> This will open new browser Window with ESS... ---> This second Browser Window (Pop up) would confuse the User, since he already have an opened window, so the Customer mean why open new window, since the user can simply click the Button Back and so his data are also saved..
How can we manage to control the behaviour of the Button, so the iView is closed safety without that new Pop-up windows are opened...
Many Thanks,
Nazih

Read-only textbox and/or disable buttons in Infopath 2013

In a InfoPath 2013 custom list form, my requirement is to make textboxes read-only, disable buttons, and/or create new buttons so users can not update fields in a custom list once the user has updated data in the list. Basically after the user hits the 'save'
button so that the data is saved.
The requirement is not to set up custom permissions since my SharePoint administrator said I should find another option. This administrator said he does not see a reason for only an 'add' permission.
Thus can you tell me how to meet my requirements? Can you show me screen prints, pictures, or urls on how to solve the problem?

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to prevent users from editing the existing items.
There are two workarounds I can provide as below:
As the first workaround, you can remove Ribbon from SharePoint InfoPath List Form via modifying the OOTB settings of InfoPath Web Part.
Here is a link about more details, you can use it as a reference:
http://the-north.com/sharepoint/post/Remove-Ribbon-from-SharePoint-InfoPath-List-Form
As the second workaround, you can apply the CSS code below to your page, it will hide the “Edit Item” button in the Ribbon:
<style type="text/css">
#Ribbon\.ListItem\.Manage\.EditProperties-Large{display: none !important;}
</style>
