In a list each view has it’s own page. Go to your view/page, edit the page and put in a CEWP. – move the CEWP below the list view webpart.and insert the code.

Er — how do I “Add this code to a CEWP in the list view where you want the menu to appear”? WHen I am modifying a view, I don’t see any way to add a web part. Web parts get added to *pages*, right? Not views. Or do I need to create a page, drop in a web part to show the list, then drop in a Content Editor Web Part on the *page* that contains the list web part?

Hi,
Originally this functionality was missing from SharePoint 2010 (i think – or maybe i just didn’t see it?).

One flaw in Microsoft’s implementation is the fact that the view selector disappears if you add another web part to the page.

Alex,
Am I missing something?
This functionality, in my experience comes out of the Box in SP 2010 without any need for code.
It’s actually can be provided in 2 methods – in the site breadcrumb and on a full toolbar in any view?
If I could post an image I could show you. I can email you.
Regards

This is a win… I’m happy to see other people wrangle the JavaScript beast. I’m a humble beginner, so thanks very much for your awesome code!

Alexander:

I think you and I have exchanged emails somewhere along the way, and i’ve definitely seen your stuff. Good work. If you ever want to pitch something like this into SPServices, let me know!

Alex,

Scratch the snapshots remark…your solution is so well integrated I didn’t see it as not being OOTB.

It seems to me that it will be so useful that:
* I am thinking of integrating as part of the Master page but you would really want to only run it for pages with ‘List Views’ (wouldn’t make senseotherwise, right?)
* maybe integrating it as a deployable feature would be worth it?

Again, thanks for digging into SP2010 – going to be an exciting run!

Alex,
You have such a resource for SP2007, I am SO glad to see you dig into SP2010!
One general suggestion would be to include snapshots of before and after…

Also, for the webservices call, why wouln’t you give SPServices by Marc Anderson a try?
http://spservices.codeplex.com/documentation
I think it could help at various levels:
* provide endusers with more ‘reusable’ code
* provide additional real life examples of more ‘complex’ solutions for this library
* contribute to making the SPServices library SP2010 compatible
