I have a SharePoint add-in that create a "button" on the page ribbon. When the user clicks on the button, it makes a call to a provider hosted app that resides in Azure. The request goes through, but I need to know the URL of the page where the button was clicked. For example, the page where the icon is clicked is:

https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/TDC/en-us/SitePages/Test4.aspx

In my AppManifest.xml, I have the following:

<StartPage>https://yyy.azurewebsites.net?{StandardTokens}&amp;SPSource={Source}&amp;SPItemURL={ItemUrl}</StartPage>

In my elements.xml, I have the following:

<UrlAction Url="~remoteAppUrl/ContentExport.aspx?{StandardTokens}&amp;SPSource={Source}&amp;SPItemURL={ItemUrl}"></UrlAction> <CommandUIHandler Command="Invoke_ContentExportAction3ButtonRequest" CommandAction="~remoteAppUrl/ContentExport.aspx?{StandardTokens}&amp;SPSource={Source}&amp;SPItemURL={ItemUrl}"/>

The ItemUrl does not get resolved, which I believe makes sense for a StartPage. The source gives me the following:

SPSource='https://tdctranslations.sharepoint.com/sites/TDC/en-us/_layouts/15/commandui.ashx'

Is it possible to get the URL of Test4.aspx?

Can you try this -

  1. Get the current url of the SharePoint site.

    Asp.Net - System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Path

    Javascript - window.location.href

  2. Pass it to the app as a url parameter - 

    <url>?RequestSource='<path>'

  3. Decode it in the app

    Request.QueryString["RequestSource"];

  • How do I specify the javascript in the CommandAction as it needs to start with ~remoteAppUrl. CommandAction="javascript: .... does not work. Commented Jul 12, 2017 at 0:40
  • How are you redirecting the user on the button click, are you using href tag? or is it an aspx button? Commented Jul 12, 2017 at 8:39
  • aspx button. Clicking on the icon in the ribbon causes an aspx page to be displayed. The user then fills out the information and clicks on a button at the bottom of the page. In the code behind for that aspx page, I need the URL of the page when the user clicked on the icon in the ribbon which is the itemUrl. In my elements.xml file, how can I add in the Javascript to get the current URL and pass that into the CommandAction. Commented Jul 12, 2017 at 16:10
