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
Americo
