sharepoint moss 2007 add column with javascript

Answer 1

A:

Maybe you should try a Multiple Lines of text column with your HTML link inside of it?

Vladi Gubler 2010-09-29 13:16:54

I've tried this, but this does not work, when putting <a href=... >...</a> into a text column or multiline column, the link is not shown, but the full html-tag text is shown.

Dennis 2010-09-29 14:28:44

even when you edit the HTML directly?

Vladi Gubler 2010-09-30 03:44:53

How do you mean this? When I add a text column to a document library, i can (for an existing document), choose for edit properties and then fill in the text column. By my knowledge, this is the only way to do this. Or is there some other way?

Dennis 2010-09-30 07:09:14

Or do you mean that I should do something like described in http://www.codeproject.com/KB/sharepoint/FckEditorSharepoint2.aspx

Dennis 2010-09-30 09:37:39

No, I meant the Richtext column where you edit the HTML directly, not a custom column

Answer 2

A:

Use CDATA. Here is a piece of code from my current project :

<Field ID="{39766DD4-4C81-4b04-9A14-46F7CE64567E}"
        Type="Computed"
        Name="LinkFormHistory"
        StaticName="LinkFormHistory"
        DisplayName="Form Status"
        Filterable="FALSE"
        ReadOnly="TRUE"
        SourceID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3"&gt;
    <FieldRefs>
      <FieldRef ID="{5E44AAA6-F90D-4bce-9E90-E891DC399A5B}" Name="form_status" />
      <FieldRef Name="UniqueId" />
    </FieldRefs>
    <DisplayPattern>
      <HTML><![CDATA[<A onfocus="OnLink(this)" HREF="]]></HTML>
      <HttpVDir/>
      <HTML><![CDATA[/_layouts/CEAC/Pages/HistoryPage.aspx?]]></HTML>
      <HTML><![CDATA[RelatedListID=]]></HTML>
      <List/>
      <HTML><![CDATA[&RelatedListItemID=]]></HTML>
      <LookupColumn HTMLEncode="TRUE" Name="UniqueId"/>
      <HTML><![CDATA["]]></HTML>
      <HTML><![CDATA[ onclick="GoToLink(this);return false;">]]></HTML>
      <Column HTMLEncode="TRUE" Name="form_status"/>          
      <HTML><![CDATA[</A>]]></HTML>          
    </DisplayPattern>
  </Field>

In which kind of column type should I put this code? A multiline columntype can only contain max of 255 characters...

Dennis 2010-09-30 07:07:04

You should create a new computed field (Type="Compute") like in the example above, generate DisplayPattern using CDATA and add this column to View. More info about DisplayPattern is here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms435494.aspx

MegaHerz 2010-09-30 07:47:25

* Type="Computed"

MegaHerz 2010-09-30 07:53:11

Should I edit some xml file in c:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML\ in the SharePoint server to accomplish this? And if so, which file, and where should I put this code?

Dennis 2010-09-30 09:30:00

Read please about adding a field to the document library. http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/sharepoint-blog/adding-a-field-to-the-document-library-template-14372

Answer 3

+1 A:

Look into a computed column. You can use his to generate html code

brian brinley 2010-09-30 01:17:48

The only columns that I can choose are: Single Line, Multiple lines, Choice, Number, Currency, Date and Time, Lookup, Yes/No, Person or Group, Hyperlink or Picture, Calculated, Business data. I cannot find the 'computed column'.

Dennis 2010-09-30 07:06:02

Computed columns are part of the view settings, a calculated column is similar if you want to store tha values in the database as part of the list attributes.

brian brinley 2010-09-30 10:12:06

When I create or modify a view on the Document Library, the columns that I can choose from are: Type, Name, Modified, Modified By, Check In Comment, Checked Out To, Content Type, Copy Source, Created, Created By, Edit, File Size, ID, Name, Name, Title, URL and version. I do not see a Computed column, or do I not understand you correctly?!?

Dennis 2010-09-30 13:23:56

unfortunately I don't have the time at the moment to lookup myprevious code I used but here is a great article. http://blog.pathtosharepoint.com/2008/09/01/using-calculated-columns-to-write-html/

brian brinley 2010-09-30 18:42:20

Finally i did get it to work with the solution described in the link http://blog.pathtosharepoint.com/2008/09/01/using-calculated-columns-to-write-html.

Answer 4

A:

Finally i did get it to work with the solution described in the link http://blog.pathtosharepoint.com/2008/09/01/using-calculated-columns-to-write-html and thanks to brian brinley

Added a Content Editor Web Part to the page where the document list is added. Put in the source code downloaded from: http://pathtosharepoint.com/Downloads/

-> Topic: HTML Calculated Columns -> TextToHTML-V2.1.1 - (Full version)

The CEWP should be places underneath the Document Library, then add a column to the library (a simple text column), and add the following text to that column:

<DIV><a href="javascript:createNewDocumentWithProgID('[http template path]'
, '[http: default same location]', 'SharePoint.OpenDocuments', 
false)">New document</a></DIV>

And you will get a link named New document, that opens new document based on the template.

Disadvantage 1:
I think this can be made better by using a calculated field, but I did not get the URL of the current document into a calculated field.

Disadvantage 2:
The new column is not also a property of the document. When opening a Word 2010 template this way, the 'Document Properties - Server' bar is shown and you can alter the content of the field that contains the text
