Replacing a Button on the Server Ribbon in Sharepoint

in the MSDN article Walkthrough: Replacing a Button on the Server Ribbon

it is not as straight forward as it used to be. i can not complete it with only copy and paste the code into visual studio 2010 , then compile and deploy it to the SharePoint Server. I can't see the custom ribbon button since i use the incorrect registrationID.

first you will need to find the specific RegistrationID for Template Type that you want to custom Ribbon Tool Bar. from this link: SharePoint 2010: RegistrationId List Template Type IDs you can get the registrationID.

here is my sample code to test a button replaced with the default button.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
  <CustomAction Id="Ribbon.Library.Actions.ReplacementButton"
    Location="CommandUI.Ribbon"  RegistrationId="115"
    RegistrationType="List"
    Title="Replace a Ribbon Button">
    <CommandUIExtension>
      <CommandUIDefinitions>
        <CommandUIDefinition
          Location="Ribbon.Library.Actions.ConnectToClient">
          <Button Id="Ribbon.Library.Actions.ConnectToClient.ReplaceNewButton"
            Command="ReplacementButtonCommand"
            Image16by16="/_Layouts/MyFeature/NEWITEM.GIF"
            Image32by32="/_LayoutsMyFeature/NEWITEM.GIF"
            LabelText="Replaced Button"
            TemplateAlias="o1" />
        </CommandUIDefinition>
      </CommandUIDefinitions>
      <!--<CommandUIHandlers>
        <CommandUIHandler
          Command="ReplacementButtonCommand"
          CommandAction="javascript:alert('This button has been replaced with the new One.');" />
      </CommandUIHandlers>-->
      <CommandUIHandlers>
        <CommandUIHandler
          Command="ReplacementButtonCommand"
          CommandAction="javascript:viewDialog('http://win-vq9f73d6i7j:28888/_layouts/FormServer.aspx?XsnLocation=http://win-vq9f73d6i7j:28888/RecyleItem/Forms/template.xsn&amp;SaveLocation=http%3A%2F%2Fwin%2Dvq9f73d6i7j%3A28888%2FRecyleItem&amp;ClientInstalled=true&amp;Source=http%3A%2F%2Fwin%2Dvq9f73d6i7j%3A28888%2FRecyleItem%2FForms%2FAllItems%2Easpx&amp;DefaultItemOpen=1')" />
      </CommandUIHandlers>
    </CommandUIExtension>
  </CustomAction>
  <CustomAction Id="Ribbon.Library.Actions.NewButton.Script"
    Location="ScriptLink"
    ScriptBlock="function viewDialog(linkUrl) { 
                  var options = {   
                      url: linkUrl,   
                      width: 800,   
                      height: 600, 
                  }; 
                  SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
              }"></CustomAction>
</Elements>


Please note that JavaScript can not recognize the & and i must replace it with "&amp;" otherwise
you will get the following errors

"Error    1    Entity 'DefaultItemOpen' not defined.    c:\users\administrator\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\ReplaceARibbonButton\ReplaceARibbonButton\ReplaceARibbonButton\Elements.xml    27    357    ReplaceARibbonButton"

Ribbon GroupID Interpretation in Sharepoint 2010

Since I need to dynamically disable Ribbon Menu item based on the SharePoint group. 


I will create a dummie web part to verify the current user and  dynamically trim off the
item or groups from the ribbon menu. you can have the idea and follow the step by step solution to create your own solution from this link   Remove actions from the ribbon : SharePoint 2010

the snippet of code that will perform the action to remove item or group from the Ribbon.
   
            SPRibbon ribbon = SPRibbon.GetCurrent(this.Page);
            if (ribbon != null && GetGroupofUser())//memberInGroup)
            {
                //ribbon.TrimById("Ribbon.Library.Datasheet");
                //ribbon.TrimById("Ribbon.Library.CustomViews");
                //ribbon.TrimById("Ribbon.Library.Actions");
                //ribbon.TrimById("Ribbon.Library.Share");
                //ribbon.TrimById("Ribbon.Library.CustomizeLibrary");
                //ribbon.TrimById("Ribbon.Library.Settings");
            }
}

        private bool GetGroupofUser()
        {
            bool isUserInGroupflag = false;
            SPContext currentContext = SPContext.Current;
            SPWeb spWeb = currentContext.Web;
            string groupName = "My Test Group";
            //Get the current logged in user               
            SPUser currentUser =spWeb.CurrentUser;

            //Get all the user groups in the site/web               
            SPGroupCollection userGroups = currentUser.Groups;
            //Loops through the grops and check if the user is part of given group or not.               
            foreach (SPGroup group in userGroups)
            {
                //Checking the group                   
                if (group.Name.Contains(groupName))
                    isUserInGroupflag = true;
                break;
            }

            return isUserInGroupflag ;
        }

the ribbon.please view the MSDN article for the detail information Walkthrough: Removing a Button from the Server Ribbon
