Defining the RequestSiteAction menu item

The request form will need to be easily accessible to all of the site users. One good way to do that is to add it to one of the standard action menus such as the SiteActions or PersonalActions menu. It will direct the user to the request form wherever they are in the system allowing them to submit the request.

To define a custom action:

  1. Click on Add | New Item to the Visual Studio project.
  2. Under the SharePoint | 2010 category, select the Empty Element type and provide a name such as RequestSiteAction.
  3. Edit the Elements.xml file with the following content:
    <CustomAction Description="Submit a site collection
request."GroupId="SiteActions"
Id="RequestSiteAction"
Location=
"Microsoft.SharePoint.StandardMenu"
RequireSiteAdministrator="false" Sequence="1001"
Title="Request Site Collection">
<UrlAction
Url="_layouts/SPBlueprintsSiteCreation/RequestSite.aspx" />
</CustomAction>
  4. When deployed the custom action will be displayed in the Site Actions menu, based on the sequence order. With the value of 1001 set, it is displayed at the bottom of the list of actions as shown in the following screenshot:
