I want to call my javascript code in custom ribbon action in SharePoint online. I tried this code.

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
      <Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
        <CustomAction Id="6e661d80-ffa2-4460-b4d9-5b88cd1cbdf6.RibbonCustomAction1"
                      RegistrationType="List"
                      RegistrationId="{$ListId:Lists/Employee;}"
                      Location="CommandUI.Ribbon"
                      Sequence="10001"
                      Title="Invoke &apos;RibbonCustomAction1&apos; action">
          <CommandUIExtension>
            <CommandUIDefinitions>
              <CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.ListItem.Actions.Controls._children">
                <Button Id="Ribbon.ListItem.Actions.RibbonCustomAction1Button"
                        Alt="Request RibbonCustomAction1"
                        Sequence="100"
                        Command="Invoke_RibbonCustomAction1ButtonRequest"
                        LabelText="Request RibbonCustomAction1"
                        TemplateAlias="o1"
                        Image32by32="_layouts/15/images/placeholder32x32.png"
                        Image16by16="_layouts/15/images/placeholder16x16.png" />
              </CommandUIDefinition>
            </CommandUIDefinitions>
            <CommandUIHandlers>
              <CommandUIHandler Command="Invoke_RibbonCustomAction1ButtonRequest"
                                CommandAction="javascript:alert('hii');"/>
            </CommandUIHandlers>
          </CommandUIExtension >
        </CustomAction>
      </Elements>

but while deploying this code give me error.I tried the same code in Sandbox solution and it is working fine.

Please let me know if any one of you also faced this issue

Answer 1

Please follow the following approach.

• Create a Sandbox solution rather then creating the SharePoint App
• Deploy your solution to your SharePoint Online Solution Gallery
• Activate your solution
• Activate the feature of your newly activated solution

I know this is not the ultimate solution but this solution worked at my end.

Let me know whether it helped you or not.
