More PowerShell Scripting for MOSS

Here are some examples of working with MOSS lists via PowerShell.

All of these assume that Get-SPWeb() is defined. You can get that from http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/blogs/zach/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?List=90bbfd11%2Dc9a5%2D45cf%2Da77e%2D19559aae81ae&ID=7.

1. Adding a Calendar list to an SPWeb

   function global:Add-Calendar($url,$title){

       $destWeb = get-SPweb -url $url

       $caltemplate = $destWeb.ListTemplates[“Calendar”]    

       $listtitle = $title+” Events”

       $destWeb.Lists.Add($listtitle,”Departmental calendar of events.”,$caltemplate)

       Dispose-SPWeb($destWeb)

   }

1. Adding an Announcements list to an SPWeb

   function global:Add-News($url,$title){

   $destWeb = get-SPweb -url $url

   $template = $destWeb.ListTemplates[“Announcements”]

   $destWeb.Lists.Add($title+” News”,”News and announcements.”,$template)

   Dispose-SPWeb($destWeb)

   }

2. Adding a Links list to an SPWeb

   function global:Add-LinksList($url){

       $destWeb = get-SPweb($url)

       $template = $destWeb.ListTemplates[“Links”]

       $destWeb.Lists.Add(“Related Sites”,”Links to relevant other sites.”,$template)

       Dispose-SPWeb($destWeb)

   }

3. Adding all three

   function global:Add-NewsCalAndLinks($url,$title){

       Add-News -url $url -title $title

       Add-Calendar -url $url -title $title

       Add-LinksList($url)    

   }

4. Printing out a list of the Lists

   $web = Get-SPWeb($url)

   $web.Lists | ForEach-Object -process {$_.Title}

   Dispose-SPWeb($web)

5. Printing out a list of the ListTemplates

   $web = Get-SPWeb($url)

   $web.ListTemplates | ForEach-Object -process {$_.Name}

   Dispose-SPWeb($web)
