Creating libraries with powershell
Hi,
I got a script to create libraries in SPOnlnine and its work very well. But I would like to add a parameter that inform SPOnline that the library should be shown in the quicklaunch too, right now I have to gor through each library and addit to the quicklaunch manually.
Here is the script I am using and for those that are looking something similar:
function new-SPOnlineList ($listTitle) { #variables that needs to be set before starting the script $siteURL = "" $adminUrl = "" $listDescription = "" $listTemplate = 101 # Creating client context object $context = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($siteURL) $context.credentials = $SPOCredentials #create list using ListCreationInformation object (lci) $lci = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListCreationInformation $lci.title = $listTitle $lci.description = $listDescription $lci.TemplateType = $listTemplate $list = $context.web.lists.add($lci) $context.load($list) #send the request containing all operations to the server try{ $context.executeQuery() write-host "info: Created $($listTitle)" -foregroundcolor green } catch{ write-host "info: $($_.Exception.Message)" -foregroundcolor red } } $userName = "americo@americospdev.onmicrosoft.com" # Let the user fill in their password in the PowerShell window $password = Read-Host "Please enter the password for $($userName)" -AsSecureString # set SharePoint Online credentials $SPOCredentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($userName, $password) $listTitle = @("Bibliotek 1", "Bibliotek 2") for($i=0; $i -lt $listTitle.length; $i++) { new-SPOnlineList $listTitle[$i] }
Best regards
