2.       CustomRibbonJsFile.js

function enable() {

    var items = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems();

    var itemCount = CountDictionary(items);

    return (itemCount > 0);

}

function ExportFilteredView() {

    //alert(‘hi’);

    var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();

    this.site = context.get_site();

    this.web = context.get_web();

    context.load(this.site);

    context.load(this.web);

    context.executeQueryAsync(

        Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded),

        Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed)

    );

}

function onQuerySucceeded() {

    var items = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems();

    var itemCount = CountDictionary(items);

    if (itemCount == 0) return;

    var ids = “”;

    for (var i = 0; i < itemCount; i++) {

        ids += items[i].id + “;”;

    }

    //send a request to the zip aspx page.

    var form = document.createElement(“form”);

    form.setAttribute(“method”, “post”);

    form.setAttribute(“action”, this.site.get_url() + this.web.get_serverRelativeUrl() + “/_layouts/CustomRibbonSolution/ExpoerViewToXSL.aspx”);

    var hfSourceUrl = document.createElement(“input”);

    hfSourceUrl.setAttribute(“type”, “hidden”);

    hfSourceUrl.setAttribute(“name”, “sourceUrl”);

    hfSourceUrl.setAttribute(“value”, location.href);

    form.appendChild(hfSourceUrl);

    var hfItemIds = document.createElement(“input”)

    hfItemIds.setAttribute(“type”, “hidden”);

    hfItemIds.setAttribute(“name”, “itemIDs”);

    hfItemIds.setAttribute(“value”, ids);

    form.appendChild(hfItemIds);

    document.body.appendChild(form);

    form.submit();

}

function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {

    this.statusID = SP.UI.Status.addStatus(“Export to XSL:”,

        “Exporting Failed: “ + args.get_message() + ” Close.”, true);

    SP.UI.Status.setStatusPriColor(this.statusID, “red”);

}

function closeStatus() {

    SP.UI.Status.removeStatus(this.statusID);

}

3.       ExportViewToXSL.aspx.cs

usingSystem;

usingMicrosoft.SharePoint;

usingMicrosoft.SharePoint.WebControls;

namespaceCustomRibbonSolution.Layouts

{

    public partial class ExpoerViewToXSL : LayoutsPageBase

    {

        protectedvoid Page_Load(objectsender, EventArgs e)

        {

            //string fullDocLibSourceUrl = Request.Params[“sourceUrl”];

            //if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(fullDocLibSourceUrl)) return;

            //string docLibUrl = fullDocLibSourceUrl.Replace(SPContext.Current.Site.Url, “”);

            //SPList list = SPContext.Current.Web.GetList(docLibUrl);

            //if (!list.IsDocumentLibrary()) return;

            //string pItemIds = Request.Params[“itemIDs”];

            //if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(pItemIds)) return;

            //SPDocumentLibrary library = (SPDocumentLibrary)list;

            //string[] sItemIds = pItemIds.Split(new char[] { ‘;’ }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

            //int[] itemsIDs = new int[sItemIds.Length];

            //for (int i = 0; i < sItemIds.Length; i++)

            //{

            //    itemsIDs[i] = Convert.ToInt32(sItemIds[i]);

            //}

            //foreach (int id in itemsIDs)

            //{

            //Write Export logic here

            //}

            Response.Redirect(“http://www.google.com&#8221;);
