SharePoint 2013 Hosting – HostForLIFE :: Add, Update And Remove Web Part Using CSOM

May 5th

Posted by Peter in European SharePoint 2013 Hosting

Introduction

Web parts are the building blocks of the pages by which you can modify the content, appearance and behavior of pages of a SharePoint site.

In this blog we are going to discuss how to Add, Update and Remove the web part using csom. Here I have used Content Editor Web Part in Wiki page.

Adding the web part in a wikipage

Step 1

First set the credentials by providing the user credentials.

Step 2

Using the client context, load the web.

Step 3

Get the object of the file using server relative url of the wiki page in which you want to add the web part. Example (/sites/Team Site/Site Pages/wikiPage.aspx).

Step 4

Get the ‘limitedWebPartManager‘ by using object file.

Step 5

Design the Xml string for importing the web part as definition of web part in ‘limitedWebPartManager’. In xml I have added the Title of web part as ‘My Web Part’.

Step 6

Then add the web part order and left zone of the page.

Follow the below code snippet,

SharePoint 2013 Hosting – HostForLIFE :: Add, Get And Delete Quick Launch Navigation Using C#

Apr 30th

Posted by Peter in European SharePoint 2013 Hosting

In this blog, we have discussed adding, retrieving, and deleting the SharePoint online quick launch navigation menu using the C# Server Object model. Follow the below coding to get the result.

Add new term in the quick launch

Add the below code in your Program.cs.

namespace GetNavigationNode {  
    class Program {  
        static void Main(string[] args) {  
            string userName = "user1@tenantname.onmicrosoft.com";  
            string password = "********";  
            string siteUrl = "https:// tenantname.sharepoint.com/sites/AssociateSite";  
            SecureString securePassword = new SecureString();  
            foreach(char c in password) {  
                secure Password.AppendChar(c);  
            }  
            var credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(userName, securePassword);  
            using(ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl)) {  
                client Context.Credentials = credentials;  
                Navigation NodeCollection qlNavNodeColl = clientContext.Web.Navigation.QuickLaunch;  
                client Context.Load(clientContext.Web);  
                clientContext.Load(qlNavNodeColl);  
                clientContext.ExecuteQuery();  
                NavigationNodeCreationInformation newNode = new NavigationNodeCreationInformation();  
                newNode.Title = "Search";  
                newNode.Url = "https://www.google.com";  
                qlNavNodeColl.Add(newNode);  
                clientContext.ExecuteQuery();  
            }  
        }  
    }  
}

namespace GetNavigationNode {

class Program {

static void Main(string[] args) {

string userName = "user1@tenantname.onmicrosoft.com";

string password = "********";

string siteUrl = "https:// tenantname.sharepoint.com/sites/AssociateSite";

SecureString securePassword = new SecureString();

foreach(char c in password) {

secure Password.AppendChar(c);

}

var credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(userName, securePassword);

using(ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl)) {

client Context.Credentials = credentials;

Navigation NodeCollection qlNavNodeColl = clientContext.Web.Navigation.QuickLaunch;

client Context.Load(clientContext.Web);

clientContext.Load(qlNavNodeColl);

clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

NavigationNodeCreationInformation newNode = new NavigationNodeCreationInformation();

newNode.Title = "Search";

newNode.Url = "https://www.google.com";

qlNavNodeColl.Add(newNode);

clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

}

After running the code,

Get Navigation node

Add the below code to get all the term from quicklunch.

using(ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl)) {  
    clientContext.Credentials = credentials;  
    NavigationNodeCollection qlNavNodeColl = clientContext.Web.Navigation.QuickLaunch;  
    clientContext.Load(clientContext.Web);  
    clientContext.Load(qlNavNodeColl);  
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();  
    foreach(NavigationNode navToDelete in qlNavNodeColl) {  
        var navNodeTitle = navToDelete.Title;  
        Console.WriteLine("Navigation Node is : " + navNodeTitle);  
    }  
}

using(ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl)) {

clientContext.Credentials = credentials;

NavigationNodeCollection qlNavNodeColl = clientContext.Web.Navigation.QuickLaunch;

clientContext.Load(clientContext.Web);

clientContext.Load(qlNavNodeColl);

clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

foreach(NavigationNode navToDelete in qlNavNodeColl) {

var navNodeTitle = navToDelete.Title;

Console.WriteLine("Navigation Node is : " + navNodeTitle);

}

Delete Navigation Node

Add below code to remove the quick launch term

string userName = "user1@tenantname.onmicrosoft.com";  
string password = "********";  
string siteUrl = "https:// tenantname.sharepoint.com/sites/AssociateSite";  
SecureString securePassword = new SecureString();  
foreach(char c in password) {  
    securePassword.AppendChar(c);  
}  
var credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(userName, securePassword);  
using(ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl)) {  
    clientContext.Credentials = credentials;  
    NavigationNodeCollection qlNavNodeColl = clientContext.Web.Navigation.QuickLaunch;  
    clientContext.Load(clientContext.Web);  
    clientContext.Load(qlNavNodeColl);  
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();  
    foreach(NavigationNode navToDelete in qlNavNodeColl) {  
        var title = navToDelete.Title;  
        if (title == "Search") {  
            navToDelete.DeleteObject();  
            clientContext.ExecuteQuery();  
        }  
    }  
}  
}

string userName = "user1@tenantname.onmicrosoft.com";

string password = "********";

string siteUrl = "https:// tenantname.sharepoint.com/sites/AssociateSite";

SecureString securePassword = new SecureString();

foreach(char c in password) {

securePassword.AppendChar(c);

}

var credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(userName, securePassword);

using(ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl)) {

clientContext.Credentials = credentials;

NavigationNodeCollection qlNavNodeColl = clientContext.Web.Navigation.QuickLaunch;

clientContext.Load(clientContext.Web);

clientContext.Load(qlNavNodeColl);

clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

foreach(NavigationNode navToDelete in qlNavNodeColl) {

var title = navToDelete.Title;

if (title == "Search") {

navToDelete.DeleteObject();

clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

}

After running the code,

From the above example of the code, we can conclude that, the CRUD operation of a quick launch navigation node in SharePoint Online using c# is very effective as it reduces the amount of time. You can also use this code for SharePoint 2019 and 2016.

SharePoint 2013 Hosting – HostForLIFE :: Highcharts Using SharePoint Online custom Lists

Apr 22nd

Posted by Peter in European SharePoint 2013 Hosting

Hi there, in this blog you will learn about building HighCharts using SharePoint online lists using JavaScript REST API dynamically in 3 simple steps.

Step 1 – Get SharePoint list items using REST API GET Method

function getItems() {
$.ajax({
url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('LeaveTracker')/items?$top=500&$select=Status",
type: "GET",
headers: {
accept: "application/json;odata=verbose",
},
success: function (data) {
var items = data.d.results;
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
var statusVar = items[i].Status;
statusArray.push(statusVar);
}
fnDataArray();//Get Unique Status Count & Dataset for HighChart
buildhighcharts();// Build Bar Chart
},
error: function (error) {
console.log(error);
},
});
}

function getItems() {

$.ajax({

url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('LeaveTracker')/items?$top=500&$select=Status",

type: "GET",

headers: {

accept: "application/json;odata=verbose",

success: function (data) {

var items = data.d.results;

for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {

var statusVar = items[i].Status;

statusArray.push(statusVar);

}

fnDataArray();//Get Unique Status Count & Dataset for HighChart

buildhighcharts();// Build Bar Chart

error: function (error) {

console.log(error);

});

}

Step 2 – Create Dataset for Highchart

function fnDataArray() {
var StatusObj = statusArray.reduce(function (count, status) {
if (typeof count[status] == "undefined") {
count[status] = 1;
} else {
count[status] += 1;
}
return count;

SharePoint 2013 Hosting – HostForLIFE :: Run Workflow For All Items Of List In SharePoint

Apr 15th

Posted by Peter in European SharePoint 2013 Hosting

In some scenarios, we might need to develop workflows for the existing SharePoint list which has several list items. This happens because of some enhancements or user(s) requirements. Normally, we develop a workflow for lists or libraries, and workflow can execute manually, item add or update automatically.

Note

workflow means SharePoint workflow which is developed via SharePoint designer.

However, in some cases, we need to run workflow all items in List which is very panicked work via SharePoint GUI. We must select each list item and run workflow manually which is not effective or feasible in case there are too many items in a list. Additionally, it is a time-consuming task to run a workflow for each item.

Here, I am sharing a small piece of code in PowerShell command through which we can accomplish this requirement but note this will not start those workflows instantly. However, it can take up-to 5 minutes as it is triggered through SharePoint Timer Service. (use SharePoint PowerShell)

$webApp = Get-SPWebApplication "http://sharepointUrl/sites/sitename"    
# URL of the Site    
$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity "http://sharepointUrl/sites/sitename"    
$workflowmanager = $web.Site.WorkFlowManager    
# Name of the list    
$list = $web.Lists["List Name"]    
# Name of the Workflow    
$assocname = $list.WorkflowAssociations.GetAssociationByName("On Item Created","en-US")    
$data = $assocname.AssociationData    
$items = $list.Items    
foreach($item in $items)    
 {    
    $workflow = $workflowmanager.StartWorkFlow($item,$assocname,$data,$true)    
 }    
$workflowmanager.Dispose()    
$web.Dispose()

$webApp = Get-SPWebApplication "http://sharepointUrl/sites/sitename"

# URL of the Site

$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity "http://sharepointUrl/sites/sitename"

$workflowmanager = $web.Site.WorkFlowManager

# Name of the list

$list = $web.Lists["List Name"]

# Name of the Workflow

$assocname = $list.WorkflowAssociations.GetAssociationByName("On Item Created","en-US")

$data = $assocname.AssociationData

$items = $list.Items

foreach($item in $items)

{

$workflow = $workflowmanager.StartWorkFlow($item,$assocname,$data,$true)

}

$workflowmanager.Dispose()

$web.Dispose()

After running this PowerShell script, the workflow will be triggered for each item in the mentioned list. This small Powershell script saves huge time compared to when we manually to run the workflows.

SharePoint 2013 Hosting – HostForLIFE :: Create A Folder And Set Unique Permission Using PnP PowerShell

Apr 5th

Posted by Peter in European SharePoint 2013 Hosting

In this blog, we are going to create a folder in Document Library and set unique permission to a user for this created folder using PnP Power Shell. The Administrator can set the required permission to a user depending on the organizational needs. Here we can use this script to set permission to a particular user. Please follow the below steps.

Step 1

Run the ISE in administrative mode. Then declare variables named “sUrl”, “user”, “Folder Name”, and “SiteRelativeURL” to store the respective values.

Step 2

Connect to PnP online and get the credentials.

Connect-PnPOnline-Url$sUrl-Credentials (Get-Credential)

Step 3

To create the folder in the document, use the PnP commands as shown in the code.

Add-PnPFolder-Name$FolderName-Folder$SiteRelativeURL-ErrorActionStop

Step 4

Copy and run the below codes to create a folder in Document and to set unique permission in the folder for a user.

#Config Variables  
$sUrl = "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/scriptEnable"  
$user = "srikanta@contoso.onmicrosoft.com"  
$FolderName = "Team Projects"  
$SiteRelativeURL = "/Shared Documents"  
#Site Relative URL in which the folder will be created  
Try {  
    Connect - PnPOnline - Url $sUrl - Credentials(Get - Credential)  
    # create folder using powershell  
    Add - PnPFolder - Name $FolderName - Folder $SiteRelativeURL - ErrorAction Stop  
    Write - host - f Green "New Folder '$FolderName' Created Sucessfully!"  
} catch {  
    write - host "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)" - foregroundcolor Red  
}  
try {  
    Write - host - f Green "Adding unique permission to '$FolderName'"  
    $Path = "/sites/scriptEnable/Shared%20Documents/" + $FolderName  
    #Set folder permissions  
    Set - PnPfolderPermission - List $ListName - identity $Path - User $user - AddRole "Edit"  
    Write - host "Successfully added permission" - ForegroundColor Green  
} catch {  
    write - host "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)" - foregroundcolor Red  
}

#Config Variables

$sUrl = "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/scriptEnable"

$user = "srikanta@contoso.onmicrosoft.com"

$FolderName = "Team Projects"

$SiteRelativeURL = "/Shared Documents"

#Site Relative URL in which the folder will be created

Try {

Connect - PnPOnline - Url $sUrl - Credentials(Get - Credential)

# create folder using powershell

Add - PnPFolder - Name $FolderName - Folder $SiteRelativeURL - ErrorAction Stop

Write - host - f Green "New Folder '$FolderName' Created Sucessfully!"

} catch {

write - host "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)" - foregroundcolor Red

}

try {

Write - host - f Green "Adding unique permission to '$FolderName'"

$Path = "/sites/scriptEnable/Shared%20Documents/" + $FolderName

#Set folder permissions

Set - PnPfolderPermission - List $ListName - identity $Path - User $user - AddRole "Edit"

Write - host "Successfully added permission" - ForegroundColor Green

} catch {

write - host "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)" - foregroundcolor Red

}

After running the script,

Folder “Team Project” is created successfully.

Now the permission is updated

SharePoint 2013 Hosting – HostForLIFE :: Restore List From Existing In Modern SharePoint Online

Mar 25th

Posted by Peter in European SharePoint 2013 Hosting

Recently, we have observed that the save the list as a template option is missing for the Modern SharePoint Online site. Because of which many users are getting confused about how to restore their existing list to another site which is mostly required and quite normal in terms of SharePoint. Save as s template was a very handy option to copy list definition as well as to migrate its contents in some cases.

Modern SharePoint Online is missing save as a template option for the SharePoint list.

We restore existing lists or libraries for various reasons,

To restore existing list(s) into another site collection because of similar requirements for restoring list definitions
Sometimes, we create development and production site collection. We create several lists and libraries on the development site and then after the completion of the development task, we again retore those lists and libraries into production.
Sometimes, we retore the list in the same site collection with a different name to reuse the existing list and modify or use it as it is for another requirement.
In some cases, we might need to restore into another tenant as well if we are working with a third-party or vendor for development or some purposes.
In some cases, we use this option to migrate list or libraries contents

This is one of the general requirements to restore the existing list and library. Since the missing save as a template option is missing in modern SharePoint, we have some alternative ways to accomplish the same restoring of the list.

In this article, I will show you the different ways of restoring the list from existing in Modern SharePoint. So far, I have found 3 alternative ways

Option 1: Create a new list from an existing list
Option 2: By using PnP, save a modern list as a template and restore
Option 3: By enable custom script in SharePoint Online

Create a new list from the Existing list

This option is quite fast, easy, user friendly, and most recommended where you can create a new list from the exiting option from another site collection.

Firstly, we need to create a new list from Site contents as shown

Open Destination Site collection -> Site Contents -> Click New -> Select List

Next, we will choose an option from the existing list as shown,

After selecting, from the existing list, you will get the option to choose site collection and list within that site collection as depicted,

Select the Site collection from which you want to restore the list and the list. Then you will get the option to add the list in the current site collection as demonstrated,

You can give a name, description, and option to show in site navigation as like creating a new list.

This is how you can restore the existing list template.

However, this option has some limitations which are listed below,

Some lists might not be compatible which has lookup columns
You cannot restore data
Some legacy lists cannot be restored
Some site collections are showing incompatible lists.

By using PowerShell, Save a modern list as a template

Using PowerShell, we can save a list as the template in modern sites both in team and communication sites including list definition and data.

For this option, you need to have PnP PowerShell installed on your pc. You need to run following PowerShell.

Explanation

First, we are defining siteUrl, listName (a list which we want to save as a template), templateName, and path variables with values.

Then connect to SharePoint online.

Connect-PnPOnline -Url $siteURL

1	Connect-PnPOnline -Url $siteURL

At last, we are extracting list and data with these commands,

Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Handlers Lists -ListsToExtract $listName -Out ("{0}.xml" -f $templateName)  

Add-PnPDataRowsToProvisioningTemplate -path ("{0}.xml" -f $templateName) -List $listName -Query '<view></view>'

Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Handlers Lists -ListsToExtract $listName -Out ("{0}.xml" -f $templateName)

Add-PnPDataRowsToProvisioningTemplate -path ("{0}.xml" -f $templateName) -List $listName -Query '<view></view>'

Additionally, we can add filters in data query.

Now, we have saved the list as a template. The second step is to add the template into the destination site collection.

We can achieve this by running this PowerShell.

$siteURL =  " https://YourSite/sites/SiteCollectionName2"  

$templateName = "listTemplate"    

$path = “C:\Users\rijwa\Documents”  

cd $path   

Connect-PnPOnline -Url $siteURL  
Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Path ("{0}.xml" -f $templateName

$siteURL = " https://YourSite/sites/SiteCollectionName2"

$templateName = "listTemplate"

$path = “C:\Users\rijwa\Documents”

cd $path

Connect-PnPOnline -Url $siteURL

Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Path ("{0}.xml" -f $templateName

This execution of command takes few minutes depending upon your list data.

After this, if we create a new list, we find this template in our site collection and we can restore the list.

By enabling custom script in SharePoint Online

Another option (not recommended) is by enabling custom scripts through SharePoint Admin Centre or PowerShell.

You can login to SharePoint Admin Centre -> Setting -> classic setting page.

Additionally, we can enable the specific site collection using the below PowerShell script.

#Variables for SharePoint Admin Center & Site Collection URL  
$AdminCenterURL = "https://site-admin.sharepoint.com/"  
$SiteURL="https://site.sharepoint.com/Sites/marketing"  
  
#Connect to SharePoint Online  
Connect-SPOService -url $AdminCenterURL -Credential (Get-Credential)  
  
#Disable DenyAddAndCustomizePages Flag  
Set-SPOSite $SiteURL -DenyAddAndCustomizePages $False

#Variables for SharePoint Admin Center & Site Collection URL

$AdminCenterURL = "https://site-admin.sharepoint.com/"

$SiteURL="https://site.sharepoint.com/Sites/marketing"

#Connect to SharePoint Online

Connect-SPOService -url $AdminCenterURL -Credential (Get-Credential)

#Disable DenyAddAndCustomizePages Flag

Set-SPOSite $SiteURL -DenyAddAndCustomizePages $False

Note

To apply the changes for enabling custom scripting might take up to 24 hours.

After enabling the custom script, we will need to go to list settings, and in the above URL, just replace listedit.aspx with savetmpl.aspx manually to save the list as a template.
