Scenario:
We need to create PowerShell script to create a custom list and a column in the list
Script:
try
{
$weburl = Read-Host “Please enter web url (like : http://sharepoint.ffaiz.com)”
$spweb = Get-SPWeb $weburl
$listTemplate = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListTemplateType]::GenericList
$spweb.Lists.Add(“My List”,”My list description”,$listTemplate)
write-host “List added in the Web : ” $spweb -foregroundcolor Yellow
$spList = $StartSite.Lists[“My Lists”]
$spFieldType = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldType]::Text
$spList.Fields.Add(“My Column”,$spFieldType,$false)
write-host “Column added in the list”
$spView = $spweb.GetViewFromUrl(“/Lists/”+ $spList.Name + “/AllItems.aspx”)
$spField = $spList.Fields[“My Column”]
$spView.ViewFields.Add($spField)
$spView.Update()
$spweb.Dispose()
}
catch [System.SystemException]
{
write-host “Execution stopped due to: “+$_.Message -foregroundcolor Red
}
