SharePoint 2010 adds a parameter to a list item when right-clicking

Question

In SharePoint 2010, I have a list. If you right-click on a list item or click the down arrow, you will get many options.

I want to add my version here. Does anyone know how I can do this. I just want to do this for certain types of documents, i.e. docx.

Answer 1

Create a SharePoint function in which you define a Custom action . This feature can be installed on a SharePoint farm. Exploring user actions with Google, you will find many guides and examples.

In your case, you should use RegistrationType to define user interaction in order to associate the action with a specific type of content. (TopTip: use content types to manage your data, not file types).

Answer 2

I happen to have written a blog series on this subject that contains additional information about the @Dribbel CustomAction offer, as well as an alternative to Javascript:
