Renaming the menu items in SharePoint Site Libraries and Lists for a Specific Site

In SharePoint document Library/List we find menu items like New, Uploads, Actions and Settings etc. At times there might be requirements to rename these menu items for a specific site. The following Javascript function can be used to achieve the objective.




The code snippet shown below can be called from inside the specific SharePoint Page.

e.g AllItems.aspx page inside a Document Library/List.

This javascript function needs to be called on Page load event using _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push method.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("renameMenuItem('New', 'My New')");
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("renameMenuItem('Settings', 'My Settings')");

function renameMenuItem(oldMenuItemName, newMenuItemName)
{

var vAnchorTag;

var vAllAnchorTags = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
if(oldMenuItemName.length!=0)

{
for (var j = 0; j < vAllAnchorTags.length; j++)

{

vAnchorTag = vAllAnchorTags[j];


if (vAnchorTag.innerText.indexOf(oldMenuItemName)!=-1)

{
vAnchorTag.innerText = newMenuItemName;
try

{

if(newMenuItemName.length != 0)

{

vAnchorTag.parentNode.previousSibling.firstChild.firstChild.alt

= newMenuItemName;


}

else
{

vAnchorTag.parentNode.previousSibling.firstChild.firstChild.alt

= oldMenuItemName;

}

}
catch(err)
{
}
}
} // End For
} // End If
}// End Function
</script>

Create a Custom View for Survey List

In SharePoint, custom views are used to display the items in a list/libraries with custom look and feel.Therefore you have to choose a view format like Standard View, Calendar View, Datasheet View or Gantt View and accordingly you can customize the display style by choosing Filter condition, Sort method, Group By condition etc. SharePoint allows us to create custom views for the list and libraries. But for the Survey type list, SharePoint documentation doesn't mention anything about creating a custom view.
Below mentioned steps are can be adapted to create a custom view for Survey List.

Steps-:
1.Open a SharePoint Site......Open the Survey List.

http://SiteName:PortNo/_layouts/ViewType.aspx?List=%7BF2141E9F%2D8EA2%2D42EE%2DA965%2D52F1D7362066%7D

4.Then choose a view format for the survey list.

5.Type a custom View Name.

6.In the same page open the style tab, choose a style for this view e.g Basic Table (Don't set the style as Default).

7.Then press OK to create the view.

Edit the Custom View

Custom EnsureUser function

The functionality of web.EnsureUser("login name") function is to resolve the user from the sharepoint site. But there might be a case where the login name you are passsing as a parameter, which does not exist in the site, then it will give you a run time error.

But this function will work like a brilliant. It will check the user and if does not exist then add that to "Home Owners" group. You can specify your own group name also.

public SPUser CustomEnsureUser(string fullName,SPWeb web)
{
SPPrincipalInfo objInfo = SPUtility.ResolvePrincipal(web, fullName, SPPrincipalType.SecurityGroup | SPPrincipalType.User, SPPrincipalSource.All, null, false);
if objInfo == null)
{
throw new SPException(SPResource.GetString("User could not be found", new object[]{objInfo.LoginName}));

}
if (objInfo.PrincipalId < 0) { web.Groups["Home Owners"].AddUser(objInfo.LoginName, objInfo.Email, objInfo.DisplayName, string.Empty); } return web.SiteUsers[objInfo.LoginName]; }

How to open SharePoint Group easily in Out-Of-Box functionality.

Suppose you are creating a application ,where you are creating sharepoint custom groups day by day. After some days, suppose there are 5000 custom sharepoint groups and you need to Modify settings/update users/delete users in a specific group. Then how can you go to that group easily ?

Step 1.Where ever you will see that group,just right click on that and click properties and get address url like:

http://testserver/testsite/_layouts/editprms.aspx?
obj=%7B9FD2AD57%2DB7E1%2D4C7C%2D9A7C%2DA1BB85B20AEC%7D%2C614%2CLISTITEM
&sel=17637

Step 2: Take the sel value(i.e 17637) and Type the url as the below example:
http://testserver/testsite/_layouts/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=17637

Then you will reach that Group direcltly.

Copy a folder from one list to another list programmatically.

using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://testserver/spsite"))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{
string sourceListUrl = "CustomList1/";
string destinationListUrl = "CustomList2/";

SPFolder rootFolder = web.GetFolder(sourceListUrl);
foreach (SPFolder objRootSubFolder in rootFolder.SubFolders)
{
if (objRootSubFolder.Name != "Forms")
{
folder = web.GetFolder(objRootSubFolder.ServerRelativeUrl);
foreach (SPFolder objFolder in folder.SubFolders)
{
objFolder.CopyTo(destinationListUrl + objRootSubFolder.Name + "/" + objFolder.Name);
}

foreach (SPFile objFile in folder.Files)
{
objFile.CopyTo(destinationListUrl + objRootSubFolder.Name + "/" + objFile.Name);
}
}
}
}
}

Delete all site groups programmatically.

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate
{
using (SPSite spSite = new SPSite("http://testserver/spsite"))
{
using (SPWeb spWeb = spSite.OpenWeb())
{
SPGroupCollection objCol = spWeb.SiteGroups;

for (int count = 0; count <= objCol.Count - 1; count++)
{
spWeb.SiteGroups.Remove(0);
}
}
}
});
