Quick Tip: Custom Action Tokens in SharePoint 2010 Designer
Custom Actions Ribbon SharePoint Designer
post
This post is over a year old, some of this information may be out of date.
SharePoint 2010 Designer allows you to create custom actions for the SharePoint ribbon or the item context menu.
These custom actions can be used to start a workflow, navigate to a form, and navigate to a custom URL.
For the last option you can make use of “Tokens”. These tokens enable you to create a variable URL’s.
The tokens that could be used are the following:
| **Token** | **Replaced With** |
| ~site | SPContext.Current.Web.ServerRelativeUrl |
| ~sitecollection | SPContext.Current.Site.ServerRelativeUrl |
| {ItemId} | item.ID.ToString() |
| {ItemUrl} | item.Url |
| {SiteUrl} | web.Url |
| {ListId} | list.ID.ToString("B") |
| {RecurrenceId} | item.RecurrenceID |
Examples
~site/ = /demo/CustomAction/SubSite/~sitecollection/ = /demo/CustomAction/{ItemId} = 2{ItemUrl} = /demo/ CustomAction /Lists/Custom/2_.000{SiteUrl} = http://jtb-sp2010elst2/demo/CustomAction{ListId} = {59e393f7-3fc3-4408-86f9-6819bbdf6886}{RecurrenceId} = Not testedMore information about the RecurrenceId can be found here.
