Created Issue: Can't see the Custom actions in Sharepoint Designer [8224]

dhawalchheda — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 22:36:17 GMT

Hi,

I have deployed the WSP to the farm.
First thing was I couldn't find the site collection feature for it, but did activate Site feature.
Next I started sharepoint designer and wanted to use the custom action but couldn't find it.

Is there a deployment guide somewhere I can follow.
Am I doing something wrong?

I confirm this code to copy the fields is working very well, also for meta data properties. Thanks a lot!

In file "SP2010WordAutomation.UI.js", instead of:

var options = { url: '/_layouts/SP2010WordAutomation.UI/ConvertDocument.aspx?items=' + selectedItems + '&source=' + SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedList(), title: 'Convert Documents 2', allowMaximize: false, showClose: true, width: 600, height: 480, dialogReturnValueCallback: SP2010WordAutomation.UI.ConvertCallback };

It's better to use:

var layoutsUrl = SP.Utilities.Utility.getLayoutsPageUrl('SP2010WordAutomation.UI/ConvertDocument.aspx'); layoutsUrl += '?items=' + selectedItems + '&source=' + SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedList(); var options = { url: layoutsUrl, title: 'Convert Documents 3', allowMaximize: false, showClose: true, width: 600, height: 480, dialogReturnValueCallback: SP2010WordAutomation.UI.ConvertCallback };

Or else, we can only choose the document libraries in the root site as output library.

Rated 5 Stars (out of 5) - Great addition to the actions on SharePoint Designer.

Created Issue: Unable To get the Actions in the step region as I select the Action from the Action Menu [7401]

Saquib — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 09:45:41 GMT

I have successfully deployed the project and now I can find the Actions like "Convert Document", but when I select the option I am unable to get the action on my workflow designer.

I have Installed this on my server with great difficulty, the designer was throwing me an error for SP2010Workflow.Automation dll, which I was suppose it was not able to find, but I again redeployed it Number of Times to finally get rid of the error and find the options. But I am not able to get the Action Script if I choose the option, and also I face No errors.

Can somebody guide me on this issue of mine
