I would like to start a Workflow from the item menu but instead of showing a new form with “start” and “cancel” button, just.. start automatically the workflow…. any idea?

Thanks!

Geoff,

I noticed customized action item disappears when the list form is customized using InfoPath 2010, how do I keep the customized action item?

Thanks in advance

Your thoughts…

I am customizing the ribbon’s browse buttons on my site, I want to hide and show the top navigation (’#s4-topheader2′) when a user clicks on Page (to hide) and Browse (to show). The problem is, when I make a jQuery call when clicking on the Page tab, the Browse tab no longer has it’s default link onclick functionality. It is like there is a MS script that changes the class or functionality. So I can hide, but then it does not show again.

Thanks in advance

Great post and a useful insight into how this can be done using SharePoint Designer.

Do you have any examples on how this would be done as a feature using Visual Studio 2010 with source code sample.

Thanks

Hi Geoff,

I have created two custom actions on the New Form Ribbon, one for each content type available on my list. Now I want to hide the “New Item” menu from the standard ribbon. Is there a way to do this?

Hi,

I have a requirement where I need to show a custom Ribbon menu in the View Form of a certain Document Library. The users will choose multiple items and then will click on my custom Ribbon menu. I need to get those selected items and do some custom action.

May I know how this can be acheived?

Hello,

I’ve tried this to add a “subscribe!” button on a list with internal educations.

We have a problem because normal users do not seem to have rights to start the workflow.. they need edit rights on the list..

How can I control the rights, to give everybody the ability to start the subscribe workflow, without having to give them edit rights?

Options for the Rights Mask (will hide the custom action if current user doesn’t have right) are here
