  • Application Customizers work on Modern Pages. Are your listviews set to Classic mode (do they have a ribbon)?

Its all about where are you registering the custom menu, basically if you want to have your custom actions in a list / doc lib, you need to use a List View Command set, where you need to set the proper location, so where the commands are displayed. The possible values are:

  • ClientSideExtension.ListViewCommandSet.ContextMenu: The context menu of the item(s).
  • ClientSideExtension.ListViewCommandSet.CommandBar: The top command set menu in a list or library.
  • ClientSideExtension.ListViewCommandSet: Both the context menu and the command bar (corresponds to SPUserCustomAction.Location="CommandUI.Ribbon").

Resulting in having your commands in the list menu like shown here:

Take a look at the following article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/extensions/get-started/building-simple-cmdset-with-dialog-api#debugging-your-listview-command-set-using-gulp-serve-and-query-string-parameters

  • Hi Xavi, I wasn't referring to list menu etc.. I'm talking about a custom menu I built (Top Navigation Menu) . Does this make sense?

  • Hi @naijacoder absolutely, it makes total sense. I would check, first, that you are using the proper placeholder in the page (should be the top placeholder): docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/extensions/…. Second, if the page placeholder is OK, I found that there is an open issue in SPFx that can be totally related with what you are reporting: github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-docs/issues/1042. The issue is still open, unfortunately. If you think this is still not related, please post your code for more accurate help.

  • Thanks Xavi for your response. I can view the menu when in viewing a custom page.But still not in Listviews. I can also notice these errors:_ listview-host-assembly_en-us_13b14d3769d9ebe3f5ae032d6ea2b0fe.js:208 Uncaught (in promise) Error: ***Failed to load path dependency "bootstrap" from component "" (SiteNavigationBsApplicationCus). Any ideas what could be wrong? I have the below in my config.json "bootstrap": { "path": "maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js", "globalName": "bootstrap", "globalDependencies": ["jquery"] },
