This happens sometimes if you are using third party library which IE does not support. Change the default browser of Visual Studio to Google Chrome and try.

So in the app you are testing, are you using the FQDN or the NetBIOS name? Bad practice but could you test with both (hard code the absolute URL for testing purposes) then retest your app?
If you are making a web part based on the new app model this will be an "app part" and probably have the same issues you are experiencing. If this is for something internal rather than a product you are developing to resell then the script editor /
content editor web part approach could work for you.

Digital signature in SharePoint hosted app

I am creating a sharepoint hosted app where user must use digital signature(loginname, password) before submitting request.
I am unable to find any machenism to validate user credentials using jquery/javascript.

Hi,
Check the blog below:
Use tasks to maintain your workflow state. Each approval adds a task for the signer. There is a workflow action to handle this for you. When the task is done, it moves to the next step.
Use the Wait action to have your workflow pause until a change is made. You would have a column for each signer. When the column is filled in, the workflow continues with the email for the next signer.
Have a workflow that runs for each signing step. The workflow will be kicked off on item change. You will need a column for each signer again. The workflow will examine each column in order to determine what stage it is on and then email the appropriate person.

Upgrade SharePoint Content Types / Site Columns declaratively in SharePoint hosted apps

Hi!
I have a question where I was unable to find any official guidance for. I have created a SharePoint hosted APP where I have multiple site columns and content types (declared in XML). The APP installs and functions just fine.
Now I have a requirement to change a site column (Choice field, just add some more choice values). I was able to update the site column but the changes will not be reflected on the list column (I think because there no way to push the changes).
So is there an "official" way of changing site columns?
Any help is appreciated!
Thx!

How to: Update app web components in SharePoint 2013 :
We do not support changing the data type of a list or content type field (column) after its initial deployment in any
circumstance. In particular, do not change the data type of a field as part of an app update (not
even programmatically). As an alternative, you can add a new field. If the app includes custom item create, edit,
or view forms; be sure to make corresponding changes in these forms. For example, add UI for the new field and remove UI for the old one. (In a provider-hosted app, you can programmatically move data from the old field to the new one and then delete the old.

How to open List when Page loads in SharePoint Hosted App?

I want to create an app same like InstantPracticeManager by InstantQuick.
Now I want to know that in a SharePoint Hosted App How can I show the Whole List in a page.
Here I have added one image:
Here there is one list and there are 4 views of that list.
Now the App will be like when I load the page It will show like the image above. Now how can we show the list like this in sharepoint hosted app?
I want the same scenario which is shown in the following blogs:
http://sp2013.blogspot.in/2012/08/use-list-view-in-sharepoint-2013-apps.html
and
http://www.sharepointnutsandbolts.com/2013/08/working-with-web-parts-within.html
where they add a list to an app
Can any one suggest me the idea? I am bit confused.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to show the different list view in a page in SharePoint Hosted App.
We can use jQuery and cross-domain library to achieve it.
The following articles for your reference:

How to get inputted value in a RTE field on custom page and submit by REST call in 'Sharepoint hosted app'.

Hi I am facing the three questions below.
1. How to use default RTE in custom page in Sharepoint hosted app.
I saw the article of Rich text Editor (ribbon based) in a webpart in SharePoint 2013 and tried it. But it did not work well. I guess it needs code-behind setting, however sharepoint hosted app does not support code-behind.
Does anybody know how to do this?
2. In above case, I placed the below code on custom page and tried to get the field's value when submit button was clicked.
<SharePoint:InputFormTextBox ID="rftDefaultValue"
RichText="true"
RichTextMode="FullHtml" runat="server"
TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="5">
</SharePoint:InputFormTextBox>
In debugger, the returned value was 'undefined'.
var note = $('#hogehoge').val();
Is it possible to get the RTE value? If yes, please let me know how to do this.
3. I need to submit the RTE value using REST call.
In this
article in MSDN, the item creation sample treats single line text field. Does anybody know the sample for RTE?

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to use Rich Text Editor control in your SharePoint hosted app.
First of all, I would suggest you post one question in one thread to make it easier to be discussed, which would also help you get a quick solution.
Though we can add this control into a SharePoint hosted app, however, as we can’t add code behind for it, plus with the potential compatibility issues in different
browsers, I would suggest you use other JavaScript Rich Text Editor plugins instead.
Two JavaScript Rich Text Editor plugins for your reference:
http://quilljs.com/
http://nicedit.com/
If you want to submit the value of Rich Text Editor control to a SharePoint list using REST call, since the content in the Multiple Line of Text column is wrapped
with nested HTML tags, the similar requirement would also be applied to the content to be submitted.
Here is a code snippet about how to update a Multiple Line of Text column for your reference:
updateListItem(_spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl, "List018", 1);
function updateListItem(siteUrl, listName, itemId)
var itemType = GetItemTypeForListName(listName);
var item = {
"__metadata": { "type": itemType },
"MultiTextEnhanced": "<div><a href='http://bing.com/'>Bing</a><br></p></div>",
"Title": "123"
$.ajax({
url: siteUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('" + listName + "')/items(" + itemId + ")",
method: "GET",
headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
$.ajax({
url: data.d.__metadata.uri,
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
data: JSON.stringify(item),
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val(),
"X-HTTP-Method": "MERGE",
"If-Match": data.d.__metadata.etag
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
error: function (data) {
console.log(data);
error: function (data) {
console.log(data);
// Getting the item type for the list
function GetItemTypeForListName(name)
return"SP.Data." + name.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + name.slice(1) + "ListItem";

How to use Sharepoint Modal Popup loader in Sharepoint-Hosted Apps

Hi,
I have a requirement to use a modal popup as loader in SharePoint-Hosted Apps. I have used this like following-
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showWaitScreenWithNoClose(
'Please Wait',
'while we retrieve...',
'400',
'600');
But it does not work if we have "SP.Js" and "SP.runtime.js" included in the page. If we remove the mentioned script, then only modal works, but other functionality related to "Sp.Js" does not work.
Please let me know if there is any solution for the problem.
Thanks in Advance.

Web event receiver when adding or deleting a SharePoint hosted app

Hi,
Is it possible to start an action when a SharePoint hosted app is added or deleted from a site collection on our SharePoint 2013 farm on premise?
Also for public apps. Therefore, working with ‘App events’ are not an option.
It tried already with a web event receiver: ‘OnSiteCreated’ and ‘WebDeleting’, but this is not working with appweb's.
When I create a normal subsite, the event is fired. When I added an app to the site, the event is not fired.

Johan

How to get hostweb's site collection in SharePoint hosted app?

I want display SharePoint site collection of host web in my SharePoint hosted app. I have used following code.
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(callSharePoint, "sp.js");
function callSharePoint() {
hostweburl = getQueryStringParameter("SPHostUrl");
appweburl = getQueryStringParameter("SPAppWebUrl");
hostweburl = decodeURIComponent(hostweburl);
appweburl = decodeURIComponent(appweburl);
var scriptbase = appweburl + "/_layouts/15/";
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Runtime.js",
function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.js",
function () {
//$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Taxonomy.js", function () { });
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", execOperation);
//Loads context, web and lists....
function execOperation() {
try {
//create context for appweburl.
context = new SP.ClientContext(appweburl);
var factory = new SP.ProxyWebRequestExecutorFactory(appweburl);
context.set_webRequestExecutorFactory(factory);
//get hostsite reference & load as web.
appContextSite = new SP.AppContextSite(context, hostweburl);
web = appContextSite.get_web();
context.load(web);
list = web.get_lists();
context.load(list);
webs = appContextSite.get_web().get_webs();
context.load(webs);
//webs = appContextSite.get_site().get_rootWeb().get_webs();
//context.load(webs);
context.executeQueryAsync(onWebsLoaded, onQueryFailed);
catch (err) {
alert(err.message);
function onWebsLoaded(sender, args) {
alert(list.get_count());
var webEnum = list.getEnumerator();
while (webEnum.moveNext()) {
web = webEnum.get_current();
alert(web.get_id());
for (var i = 0; i < webs.get_count() ; i++) {
subwebs = webs.itemAt(i);
recursiveAll(subwebs);
/* recursive call for web */
function recursiveAll(cweb) {
debugger;
alert(cweb.get_title());
var subwebs = cweb.get_webs();
context.load(subwebs);
context.executeQueryAsync(function (sender, args) {
debugger;
var webEnum = subwebs.getEnumerator();
while (webEnum.moveNext()) {
web = webEnum.get_current();
alert(web.get_title());
//recursive call for current web.
recursiveAll(web);
}, function () { debugger; alert('err'); });
In this code I have get all the list of the Host web. But I am not able to get Host webs.
Any of the when I load the Web it gives me the AppWebUrl not the host web.
So I tried by using following code
context = new SP.ClientContext(hostweburl);
web = appContextSite.get_web();
context.load(web);
context.executeQueryAsync(onWebsLoaded, onQueryFailed);
But it gives me error: unexpected response data from server
Is there any other way to view all sites and sub sites of the host web in SharePoint hosted app?

Hi,
Since you are using a provider Hosted app if you want to get the current logged in name than do not use AppOnlyAccessToken else use AccessToken which is App + user Context AccessToken.
then
Web web = clientContext.Web;
clientContext.Load(web);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
clientContext.Load(web.CurrentUser);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
clientContext.Web.CurrentUser.LoginName;will return proper user Name.
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name will never return the user as this object is related to IIS server of your App Server not sharepoint.you should set this as Anonymous in case of provider hosted app.you can download the below sample which uses the AccessToken which has user name in it.https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Working-provider-hosted-8fdf2d95

How to get IdP Token (SAML Response) in Office 365 using SharePoint hosted app parts.

Hi All
We have a requirement to retrieve data from SQl azure & consume it O365 Sharepoint hosted app parts. to expose SQL azure data we implemented Web API . Now we are struck at securing Web API. I found below flow in internet search.
In this process
Client component (App part) get IdP token ( signed SAML Responce) from sharepoint & sends IdP token to ACS, which validates the token signature & claims & issues Access Token(valid for 600sec) to client ,which would be forwarded to
Web API. where web Api validates & provides data.
Client - SharePoint Site (App parts)
Identity provider : Onelogin is our Identity provider.
Application : Web API
In this whole process . how to get IdP Token (SAML Response) from sharepoint in Sharepoint hosted appparts using client object model?
can any one help on this.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to enable/disable the custom ribbon button accordingly.
We can use the EnabledScript attributes to achieve this scenario.
The EnabledScript attribute of the CommandUIHandler that will enable or disable the button depending on whether the function returns true or false.
There are some articles about this topic, you can refer to them.

Thanks in advance

Hello Ashok,
you can use JSOM to provision the webpart files in SharePoint hosted app.
Please see the below article for more details.

Error when trying to retrieve Document Library in Sharepoint Hosted App using REST

I have created the following REST request in order to retrieve the root folder of a Document Library added to a Sharepoint Hosted App
getProductDocumentFolder: function () {
$.ajax({
url: _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl +
"/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/Lists/ProductDocuments')",
type: "GET",
headers: {
"accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
success: function () {
alert("Success!");
//REST.Operator.readAll();
error: function (err) {
alert("Oops, error!");
alert(JSON.stringify(err));
The Document Library was added to the App from the Add > New Item menu in Visual Studio. I selected List and Selected Document Library from the Create a customizable list... dialog. The list is defined as shown in the picture below.
I get the generic error "Value does not fall within the excepted range".
I have tried both
"/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/Lists/ProductDocuments')"
and
"/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/ProductDocuments')"
for the Document Library URL both I get the same error in both cases.
What am I missing here?

Problem solved.
It turns out there should be NO leading '/' in the relative URL despite the example shown in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn292553.aspx#Folders with "/Shared Folder".
The correct GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl-parameter in my case is 'Lists/Productdocuments'.
Unsure whether example is wrong or if it applies to other cases than mine.

Issue with REST POST call: CopyTo in a SharePoint hosted App not working

Hi Community
I have been really struggling to get a cross domain copy to work both in an App or even using REST Tools such as Postman or Google Advanced REST Client.
Ok there are various blog posts by Scott G et al. that shows how you can post say in a single domain. Now that's fairly straight forward
in my case I took a .apsx page and added the following lines of code - Checkin - refresh and great the file gets copied via the document ready function
(document).ready(function () {
alert('ready!');
var src = "/appsdev/Shared Documents/SrcDoc.docx";
var dst = "/appsdev/Shared Documents/DestDocCopiedByRestTestASPXPage.docx";
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
headers: {
"accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest": jQuery("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/getfilebyserverrelativeurl('" + src + "')/copyto(strnewurl='" + dst + "',boverwrite=true)",
success: function (data, errorCode, errorMessage) {
alert('Success: copied the damn file');
var jsonObject = JSON.parse(data.body);
var jsonObjectText = JSON.stringify(jsonObject);
error: errorHandler
Now I make the call in my SharePoint hosted App and I simple can' t get this to work. Fiddler doesn't exactly help a lot
var src = "/appsdev/Shared Documents/SrcDoc.docx";
var dst = "/appsdev/Shared Documents/DestDocCopiedByMyApp.docx";
var urlWriteLocalFileDebug = appweburl +
"/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/Getfilebyserverrelativeurl('" + src + "')/copyTo(strNewUrl='" + dst + "', bOverWrite=true)?@target='" + hostweburl + "'";
executor.executeAsync(
method: "POST",
contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
headers: {
"accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest": jQuery("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
url: urlWriteLocalFileDebug,
success: function (data, errorCode, errorMessage) {
alert('Success: copied the damn file');
var jsonObject = JSON.parse(data.body);
var jsonObjectText = JSON.stringify(jsonObject);
error: errorHandler
I can happily run a GET and see the properties of my file but POST no way. Curriously, when I try to run the same command for say Google Advanced Rest Client I get nowhere
Is this a new mensa test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi
I have now tested against a trail Office 365 Developer site and I had to make a few adjustments
- change the url
- change the target to SharePoint Onlne
- change the url
I still wasn't happy so I created a new SharePoint Hosted app and pointed at the above developer site. I copied my CrossDomainExec.js and stripped all my code except my CopyItemInSameLIbrary method which hasn't changed since I created this post.
- changed the App Manifest permissions to Web -full Control ( was previously tenant)
I still got errors which is really painful as you don't even see the POST request in Fiddler
The URL used for my POST is as follows ( note host URL is fictitious)
"https://myapphell-547d8061d39e38.sharepoint.com/sites/appsdev/RESTTestSHA/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/Getfilebyserverrelativeurl('/sites/appsdev/Shared Documents/SrcDoc.docx')/copyTo(strNewUrl='/sites/appsdev/Shared Documents/DestDoc.docx', bOverWrite=true)?@target='https://myapphell.sharepoint.com/sites/appsdev'" String
Ran the app a second time and now I see......Wow it WORKS!!!!!! ..Can't be true can it?
.... next I will switch the target url to my on prem farm to see if this still works so watch this space!
