Dear dat,
Please, check out the following file as an example of the script that should definitely work. Let me know how it goes!

Code: Select all

if ((Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null) {
    Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"
}

function GetListByInternalName($listName)
{
    $rootWeb.Lists | ForEach-Object { if($_.RootFolder.Name -eq $listName) { return $_ }}
}

Try
{
    $sourceUrl = Read-Host "Site Collection URL"
    $rootWeb = Get-SPWeb $sourceUrl

    $serviceUrl = $sourceUrl + "/_vti_bin/FormsDesigner/FDService.svc"
    $srv = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri $serviceUrl -UseDefaultCredential -Namespace "FormsDesigner.Data"

    $groupID = [Guid]"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000";

    $ControlInventorylist = GetListByInternalName -listName "B"
    $ControlInventorylistID = $ControlInventorylist.ID
    $ControlInventorylistTitle = $ControlInventorylist.Title
    $ControlInventoryCTControlID = "0x010042CF44740B001F4BB84103EE2C4A89B5";
    $formValueObj = Get-Content "C:\MyFolder\Plumsail\Item_New.xfds";

    $formProperty = "fd_"+$listTitle+"_Item_New"
    $formValue = "";

    Foreach ($i in $formValueObj){
        $formValue += $i.ToString();
    }

   #Update Site property bag
    $rootWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = $true;
    $rootWeb.AllProperties[$formProperty] = $formValue;
    $rootWeb.Update();
    $rootWeb.Properties.Update();
    $rootWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = $false;



    $namespace = $srv.getType().namespace;
    $formType = New-Object ($namespace + ".Forms");

    $srv.PublishForms($ControlInventorylistID, $ControlInventoryCTControlID, $groupID, ($formType.GetType()::New), $true, $formValue); #Change Form type(New, Edit, Display)
    $srv.Dispose();

    Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "Form published successfully."
}
Catch
{
    Write-Host $_.Exception.Message
}

Hi Kurguzov,

I see you hard code

Code: Select all

$ControlInventoryCTControlID = "0x010042CF44740B001F4BB84103EE2C4A89B5";

I still hard code like you when run that script? If not, please show me how to get that value.

Note: I created new content type for the list used SPForm Designer (Ex: MyTest). I used that content type as default content type. I still used you suggest code to provision for form used MyTest content type?

I also need change "Item" in this line

Code: Select all

$formProperty = "fd_"+$listTitle+"_Item_New"

by "MyTest" (content type used SPForm), too?

Thanks you so much

[Nikita Kurguzov]

Dear dat,
The hardcoded part

Code: Select all

$ControlInventoryCTControlID = "0x010042CF44740B001F4BB84103EE2C4A89B5";

is the Content Type ID.

You can retrieve it manually:

• Go to List Settings
• Click Advanced settings
• Select Yes under Allow management of content types? Click Okay.
• Go back to List Settings
• Open the content type. SharePoint will reference the ContentTypeId in the URL:

As for Item, yes, you'll need to replace it with the name of your Content Type.

Dear dat,
Hmm, try it like this:

Code: Select all

if ((Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null) {
    Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"
}

function GetListByInternalName($listName)
{
    $rootWeb.Lists | ForEach-Object { if($_.RootFolder.Name -eq $listName) { return $_ }}
}

Try
{
    $sourceUrl = "http://dsps16/sites/Test" #Read-Host "Site Collection URL"
    $rootWeb = Get-SPWeb $sourceUrl

    $serviceUrl = $sourceUrl + "/_vti_bin/FormsDesigner/FDService.svc"
    $srv = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri $serviceUrl -UseDefaultCredential -Namespace "FormsDesigner.Data"

    $groupID = [Guid]"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000";

    $ControlInventorylist = GetListByInternalName -listName "Custom"
	write-host "ControlInventorylist: " $ControlInventorylist
    $ControlInventorylistID = $ControlInventorylist.ID
        write-host "ControlInventorylistID: " $ControlInventorylistID 
    $ControlInventorylistTitle = $ControlInventorylist.Title
        write-host "ControlInventorylistTitle : " $ControlInventorylistTitle 
    $ControlInventoryCTControlID = "0x01006BE13D48B92248419A076BC8F3816F2D00AEF210E6B2F4F74CAD32054F201B6F7B";
    $formValueObj = Get-Content "C:\Temp\MyTest_New.xfds";

    $formProperty = "fd_MyTest_New"
    $formValue = "";

    Foreach ($i in $formValueObj){
        $formValue += $i.ToString();
    }

   #Update Site property bag
    $rootWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = $true;
    $rootWeb.AllProperties[$formProperty] = $formValue;
    $rootWeb.Update();
    $rootWeb.Properties.Update();
    $rootWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = $false;



    $namespace = $srv.getType().namespace;
    $formType = New-Object ($namespace + ".Forms");

    $srv.PublishForms($ControlInventorylistID, $ControlInventoryCTControlID, $groupID, ($formType.GetType()::New), $true, $formValue); #Change Form type(New, Edit, Display)
    $srv.Dispose();

    Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "Form published successfully."
}
Catch
{
    Write-Host $_.Exception.Message
}

Let me know what the output would be!
