I have a Document Library, when I select some files from it the ribbon appears and I can choose "Delete Document".
I need to make a button on the page (.aspx view of the Library) that calls a javascript, which does exactly what does ribbon option does - deleting selected items.
I already used Javascript successfully to delete items in a Sharepoint list. But this time I need to delete files in the Document Library, is it possible with JS?
Thank you,
Since one of the comments asked for a code how to delete files:
var items;
var ctx;
var count;
var web;
var totalCount = 0;
function Delete() {
ctx = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
web = ctx.get_web();
var currentlibGuid = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedList();
if (currentlibGuid == null) {
alert('Please select an item in the list!');
return;
}
var currentLib = web.get_lists().getById(currentlibGuid);
items = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems(ctx);
//Get Selected Items count
count = CountDictionary(items);
for (var i in items) {
var currentItem = currentLib.getItemById(items[i].id);
ctx.load(currentItem);
currentItem.deleteObject();
ctx.executeQueryAsync(
Function.createDelegate(this, this.Succeeded),
Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed)
);
}
}
function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
totalCount = totalCount + 1;
if (totalCount == count) {
location.reload();
}
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() +
'\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
}
function Succeeded() {
totalCount = totalCount + 1;
if (totalCount == count) {
location.reload();
}
}
