Add a Custom Group of Actions in SharePoint 2007 Site Settings Page
Requirement: Adding a custom group of actions in SharePoint site settings page.
Solution:
We can create a feature to achieve this. Here is what I’ve done:
- Create a folder “MyCustomAction” under: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES
- Create these two files in MyCustomAction folder:
- Feature.xml
- Elements.xml
Place the below content in the above files:
Feature.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Feature xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/"
Id="5DFD12AF-D0AA-4c63-8FB8-C49DB1191083" Title="Custom Site Actions Feature" Description="Adds Custom Actions to the Site actions Menu" Scope="Site" Version="1.0.0.0">
<ElementManifests>
<ElementManifest Location="Elements.xml"/>
</ElementManifests>
</Feature>
Elements.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<!- Custom Action Group ->
<CustomActionGroup Id="MyActionGroup"
Description="This group contains all my custom actions."
Title="My Custom Action Group"
Location="Microsoft.SharePoint.SiteSettings" Sequence="0" />
<!- Custom Action in Custom Action Group ->
<CustomAction
Id="MyCustomAction1"
Description="This link is a custom action."
Title="My Custom Action 1"
GroupId="MyActionGroup"
Location="Microsoft.SharePoint.SiteSettings"
Rights="ManageWeb"
RequireSiteAdministrator="FALSE"
Sequence="1">
<UrlAction Url="~sitecollection/_layouts/MyCustomPage1.aspx" />
</CustomAction>
<CustomAction
Id="MyCustomAction2"
Description="This link is a custom action."
Title="My Custom Action 2"
GroupId="MyActionGroup"
Location="Microsoft.SharePoint.SiteSettings"
Rights="ManageWeb"
RequireSiteAdministrator="FALSE"
Sequence="2">
<UrlAction Url="~sitecollection/_layouts/MyCustomPage2.aspx" />
</CustomAction>
</Elements>
Install and activate the feature by these commands:
stsadm -o installfeature -filename MyCustomAction\feature.xml
stsadm -o activatefeature -filename MyCustomAction\feature.xml -url https://Server/Site/Subsite
Iisreset
Finally, you will get the feature activated and shown under site settings page as below image
