I made a custom SharePoint application page and now I want to open it from edit control block (item context menu). My XML won't compile because it is telling me that I have illegal characters in the Url. The &
characters are causing this. But if I use &
instead, I can compile and deploy but the URL is wrong. This is because the JavaScrit understands &
characters, where Visual Studio won't let me through.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<CustomAction Id="SPTest.CustomMenuItem.ButtonClicked"
RegistrationType="ContentType"
RegistrationId="0x0101"
Location="EditControlBlock"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/IMAGES/workflows.gif"
Sequence="600"
Title="My custom menu"
Description="Click to my custom menu.">
<UrlAction Url="javascript:OpenPopUpPageWithTitle('~site/_layouts/SP/MyAppPage.aspx?ListId={ListId}&ItemId={ItemId}', RefreshOnDialogClose, 530, 300, 'My custom menu')"/>
</CustomAction>
</Elements>
How do I format the URL? I found the sample that I used for my code here.
