How to change Add New item Link in sharepoint 2010

Type -1:

To customize the SharePoint 2010 List 'Add New Item link' Please add the below JavaScript in your list AllItems.aspx page.

All webparts will have their own ID's. So you will have to modify the Custom List webpart with the webpart ID.

Please see this link for detailed information about ID's of Webparts.

Edit the page using with SharePoint Designer. and find the ID="PlaceHolderMain" and add the JavaScript before the end tag "</asp:conten>".

Here is the jscript

<script>
var ttnA = document.getElementsByTagName('A');
for (var j=0; j<ttnA.length; j++)
{
  if (ttnA[j].id == 'idHomePageNewItem')
  {
      { ttnA[j].innerHTML='Add your Request from here' }
  }
}
</script>

Type - 2:

To change 'Add New Item' text for Lists or Libraries from SitePages(Some times List webparts may use in SitePages depends on requirement.)

For SP2010,   

• Using with SharePoint Designer open the 'AllItems.aspx' or 'SitePages/Page.aspx' (Particular List webpart located page) .
• Go for the Design portion of the List View section and click on the '>' portion where you see 'Add new item'
• Then click on Hyperlink options and click yes when the Dialog box comes up.

• At the top you will see 'Text to display: {$AddNewText}'  Edit the text here to whatever you want for example 'Add your Request here'

 

Export SharePoint ListItem to PDF file

Before one month this one is my major task, i did much research about this area. But i didn't found any links about to Print the SharePoint ListItems based on conditions. Finally got the output using with the iTextSharp library. It is a free downloadable library that is use for pdf generation with ListItems or any data.

Here is the steps i followed,

• Here i wrote the code for below requirement :
  "I need to export the SharePoint List Item, Picture & its Barcode image with Barcode value.
  My intention is when user click on the item link the pop up window of DispForm.aspx page will appear with 'Export to PDF' button in top left. So user will click the button then PDF file will be genrate."



• First you should download iTextSharp dll files from here
• you must create a SharePoint project in VS 2010, and add this(itextsharp.dll) reference to the project.
• Then create a visual webpart with any name, here i am giving ExportItemtoPDF and add a button in design page.

Make sure use the following namespaces in your code
using Microsoft.SharePoint;

using System.IO;using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls;using iTextSharp.text;using iTextSharp.text.pdf;using System.Text;namespaces will genrate like as below

Please add the below code in button click event.
try
{
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream()) {
//Opening the current site
SPSite oSiteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site;
//Fetching the current list
SPList oList = oSiteCollection.OpenWeb().Lists["PrintListItem"];
// Creae the document object, assigning the page margins
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 25, 25, 30, 30);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, ms);

// Open the document, enabeling writing to the document
document.Open();PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;
//barcode
Barcode128 bc = new Barcode128();

//Giving heading to the Word Document with style
StringBuilder strHTMLContent = new StringBuilder();
strHTMLContent.Append(SPContext.Current.Item["Title"].ToString());
strHTMLContent.Append("\r\n" + SPContext.Current.Item["body"].ToString()); strHTMLContent.Append("\r\n" + SPContext.Current.Item["value"].ToString());
imagefilepath = SPContext.Current.Item["Picture"].ToString().Replace(",", "").Trim();
iTextSharp.text.Image jpg = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(imagefilepath);jpg.ScaleToFit(120, 80);

string code = SPContext.Current.Item["Barcode Value"].ToString();
bc.ChecksumText = true;
bc.GenerateChecksum = true;
bc.StartStopText =true;
bc.Code = code;

document.Add(new Paragraph(System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(strHTMLContent.ToString(), @"<(.|\n)*?>", string.Empty)));
document.Add(bc.CreateImageWithBarcode(cb, null, null));
document.Add(jpg);

document.Close();
writer.Close();
ms.Close();
Response.ContentType = "pdf/application";
string strFileName = SPContext.Current.Item["Title"].ToString() + ".pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" + strFileName);
Response.OutputStream.Write(ms.GetBuffer(), 0, ms.GetBuffer().Length);
}
}

catch(Exception ex){
}

This is the output

I tried with Barcode 39 type but i am getting special characters in the end of barcode value. I need to find more informatin about using Barcode 39 type in SharePoint.

Please check this link to Export SharePoint List items to Word Document.
I used above link, but i am not able Export the Barcode Image. Getting the Image Path and Value only.

Hide the SharePoint ribbon from anonymous users and in SharePoint List display page

 

For hide the SharePoint ribbon from anonymous users we can use below STYLE in masterpage 

AnonymousTemplate.

　　

<style type="text/css">

body #s4-ribbonrow {

display: none;

}

</style>　

　

Example 1:　

　

<asp:LoginView id="LoginView2" runat="server" >

<AnonymousTemplate>

<div class="customLogin">　

<a href="/_layouts/authenticate.aspx"><span class="style3">Login</span></a>

</div>　　

<style type="text/css">

body #s4-ribbonrow {

display: none;

}

</style>

</AnonymousTemplate>

<LoggedInTemplate>　

<style type="text/css">

.customLogin {

display: none;

}

</style>

</LoggedInTemplate>

</asp:LoginView>

　

　

and sometimes SharePoint lists may have a workflows for update and insert the items, so this time Ribbon features will visible to users like edit, new item, delete like that.

User should have update skills through workflow but he should not have editable features in ribbon. So you will have to remove/hide the ribbon for user view.

　

　

In order to completely hide the ribbon either add Content Editor Web part and you can add the below script in Content Editor Web part html source

I don’t want to display the ribbon in list item display page, so i have added CEWP in DispForm.aspx page and added below script in it.

<script type="text/javascript">

        document.getElementById("s4-ribbonrow").style.display = "none";

    </script>
