I am trying to get the script found under 'Enforce Drag and Drop documents to apply metadata' to work and I am always getting an 'Undefined' error here:

$.getScript("path_to_my_custom_js_file/DragDrop.Extended.js");

I have tried several different locations and ways to write the URL but it always comes back with the same error. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

Suppose .js file is located in a folder in _layouts folder, then use following code to load the file:

var url = _spPageContextInfo.siteAbsoluteUrl + '/_layouts/15/FolderName/DragDrop.Extended.js
$.getScript(url);

Suppose the file is located in a folder in dcoument library in root site collection named. Then this code can be used:

var url = _spPageContextInfo.siteAbsoluteUrl + '/LibraryUrl/Folder/DragDrop.Extended.js'
$.getScript(url);

UPDATE

If the library is in sub site and the page where you are running the script is also in that same subsite, then you can use:

var url = _spPageContextInfo.weAbsoluteUrl + '/LibraryUrl/Folder/DragDrop.Extended.js'
    $.getScript(url);

  • The .js file is located in the document library. I tried your suggestion but it still gives me the undefined error. – Allan Syvret Feb 02 '15 at 14:58
  • Can you paste some code in the question. Also, is the document library in a root site collection or in a subsite? – Nadeem Yousuf-AIS Feb 02 '15 at 15:03
  • Here is the part of the code that is giving me issues, along with the start of the script: – Allan Syvret Feb 02 '15 at 15:06
  • The Document Library is in a subsite. – Allan Syvret Feb 02 '15 at 15:08
  • And where is the page that is using this script. Is it also in the subsite? – Nadeem Yousuf-AIS Feb 02 '15 at 15:11
  • Yes, it is on the same subsite. – Allan Syvret Feb 02 '15 at 15:13
  • @AllanSyvret, see my updated answer. – Nadeem Yousuf-AIS Feb 02 '15 at 15:15
  • @ NadeemYousuf, It still gives me the same error. – Allan Syvret Feb 02 '15 at 16:04
  • Use Browser developer tools to check what url is getting created and then paste that url in separate browser window to check if you can browse the file – Nadeem Yousuf-AIS Feb 02 '15 at 16:14
  • The browser can see the file correctly. I have even tried it with another script that launches correctly when launched directly from a Script Editor web part and it gives me the same error. – Allan Syvret Feb 02 '15 at 16:40
  • OK, now it does not give me the 'Undefined' error. I changed some of the security settings and it seems to have solved that problem. Now the rest of the script is not working but I'll post another question for that. @NadeemYousuf, thanks for your help the var url helped. – Allan Syvret Feb 02 '15 at 20:26
