Creating a Link to a Folder on a Server with Sharepoint Foundation 2013

Hi All,
I am looking to create a link from a page on my Sharepoint site to a folder on one of the companies servers. I have had a lot of trouble with this.
Is there a piece of code I can use to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Ahh. You are using SharePoint Foundation. Yes in that case you would not have that feature.
That makes your requirements bit tricky given I verified creating this link without Publishing feature activated and it did not work and hence I tend to believe that it would not work in your case without that feature.
What you can try is drop the page viewer web part and try configuring it to open your file share and see if that helps. I do not have Foundation otherwise I would have verified this before posting but give it a try and see if it helps.

  • My client needs to be able to create a link to a document on the server in Incontext editor

    My client needs to be able to create a link to a document on the server, but I dont want to allow FTP/File manager access as this gives him opportunity to delete pages and files.
    How can you give him safe access without giving access to the files?

    The only other way to upload the document to his site is to use Media Downloads, also known as Literature in some part of the system. Then, inside the InContext Editor you click on the link and and select page from my site, then link to the literature item created.
    That's all.

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 - Treeview current navigation linking to wrong page

    Good day,
    We are having issues with the OOTB tree view for SharePoint Foundation 2013.
    The client has a document library with a folder structure. Clicking on the first level folder (Private) navigates you to the wrong url, but when you navigate to one of its child folders, by expanding the parent folder (Private) and THEN clicking on the parent
    folder, it navigates to the right url.
    See attatched screenshots:
    Error:
    No error:

    Hey guys,
    Any update on this? Sorry for the hassle, guessing it's a SharePoint bug?
    Thanks,

  • How do I create a link to the middle of a page with Inherit Zoom?

    I keep going around and around on this.  I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and I'm trying to create an internal link in the PDF to go to the middle of the page somewhere else in the same document.  I don't want to change the user's zoom level.
    I can create a bookmark that does this by adding tags and having the bookmarks created from those tags (which is a ludicrious process, but at least a way).  But links don't seem to attach to bookmarks or tags.
    I can create a link that does exactly this by creating a document in MS Word, using styles and links to those styles and then saving it as a PDF.  So I know the PDF itself can do this, I just can't figure out how to do it through Adobe.
    Is there any way to create a link to a tag or to a bookmark?  Setting a link to Page View always changes the zoom level, and then if I change the zoom back to Inherit Zoom the link just goes to the top of the page.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you,
       Chris

    Hrm, I feel like I'm just missing something obvious.  Here are the exact steps I'm taking:
    Have zoom level up high enough so you're only seeing part of a page.
    Click "Add or Edit Link"
    Draw a box around the text.
    Link Appearance:
    Link Type: Invisible Rectangle
    Highlight Style: Invert
    Link Action: Go to a page view
    Click "Next"
    Scroll down so I'm looking at the middle of the next page.
    Click "Set Link".
    Right-click on the link-box and click "Properties..."
    Click "Actions" tab and then "Edit" and change the Zoom to "Inherit Zoom".  "OK" back to the page.
    Change zoom level, use the hand icon and click on the link.
    I'm taken to the top of the correct page and my zoom level doesn't change.  I am not taken to the middle of that page, though.
    Do you experience different behaviour?

  • Create a custom Master Page in SharePoint Foundation 2013

    Hi,
    I am new to SharePoint foundation.
    I am trying to create a custom master page and save it as template, so that i can use it for all other sub sites. But i don't know where to start. Also i tries searching in Google, i got results for share point and not for share point foundation.
    So, Please give me a step by step procedure or a link to step by step procedure on how to create a master page, save it as template and use it for a sub site.
    Thanks in advance,
    Gowtham R

    Few points to note related to SharePoint Master page:
    You don't need to create master page template. If you deploy your master page in site collection level you can reuse the same master page in subsites without copying again and again, rather just by referencing
    You have not mentioned how you are going to deploy your master page. If you have any Visual Studio (VS) solution already, try to add your  master page in the VS solution and deploy your master page (and other branding components) as SharePoint WSP
    solution.
    Deploying master page will not activate the master page, you need to use some kind of 'Web Level Feature' to activate your branding - the feature will basically set the master page property of SharePoint site to your custom master page.
    Please follow the links below for steps by steps instructions (and you will find many just by googling 'sharepoint master page visual studio'):

  • HELP! Creating symbolic link to home folder for installer DMG

    Guys,
    I'm in a bit of a bind. I need to create a symbolic link for an installer DMG to distribute a communal Bookmarks.plist to all the computers in my department. Unfortunately 'ln -s ~/Library/Safari /Volumes/Bookmarks/.' doesn't do the trick! While it creates an alias that functions on my machine, when that DMG is compiled and distributed from the original sparse image, the alias fails to link to that location on whoever attempts to mount the DMG. Any ideas?? Thanks!

    Symbolic links break when you change the machine on which they were created. Use an standard Mac alias instead as I believe they will work as expected.

  • Sync a folder from the server with 2 other macs?

    This is a story of 3 macs. 
    Mac Mini - the server
    Macbook Air - Kelly's Computer
    Macbook Pro - Ethan's computer.
    We run a small business, and I've created a set of folders on the Mac Mini which runs 24/7 and words as a nice server.  (for example, a folder for HR, one for IT, one for Sales, one for markeing... and so on.  Each folder can contain anything from a MS Word doc to excel, to adobe files, to media files...
    I have a copy of that "set of folders on both Kelly and my computer.  So, I might open a spread sheet, or a word doc, make a change, then I save it and have to copy and replace the file on teh server (if I remember).
    Or, I might copy a new media file into the marketing folder, but then I need to remember to also copy it to the server.
    Anyone see where I'm going with this? 
    Google Docs - No.  I don't think it that's what I need.     I'm learning it, but Google docs changes the formating of my MS word files.  Plus, I have other kids of files, such as adobe files for marketing and such. 
    Is there a good "auto sync"   or something that could be a good choice?  I'm open to other ideas.  Perhaps I don't know google docs enough.  But, I'd also like to keep this in house.  IT's only the 2 of us, so I'm not a fan of depending on a third party company for something like this. 
    I seem to remember that Retrospect  would targe a specified folder, and anytime ANYTHING changed in that folder, it would sync it to the server.  Does it still do that?  Anything else?
    I'm open to suggestions.
    Thanks
    Ethan-

    I like Dropbox for this kind of thing. I've been using it for a year or two, very stable, free, and easy to use.
    The Google people have a talent for making their apps incompatible with Mavericks, so I would avoid Google Docs.
    If you don't want to use something in the cloud, there are a lot of apps for this, like Sync Folders  Mac App Store - Sync Folders , FolderWatch FolderWatch: Effortlessly Keep Two Folders in Sync | Mac.AppStorm , or you can do it with Automator and rsync.

  • Unable to create sub site after setting up site subscription in Sharepoint Foundation 2013

    Hi, All,
    I have set up sit subscription in to the sharepoint. I have a Site collection which is assign to specific tenant group. I have assign sevral custom features to the tenant group. What happening now is, when I am creating a sub site, it throws an error that
    specific feature(e.g CustomList feature) is not available. So I added that feature definition to tenant group. Again I tried to create sub site. Now it shows error that specific feature(this time it shows AnnouncementList feature) is not available. So I added
    that feature too. Now its showing me these kinds of error continuously.
    So what required is I need to add all the default features to my tenant group. Do you have idea how can I add those feature by single command instead of I add it to the tenant group one by one ?
    Thanks.
    Your help is appreciated.

    You can use Powershell to create a Feature Pack that will add multiple features to a tenant group.  Here's one for the default Foundation Features.

  • Creating project in project server from sharepoint list 2013 automatically

    Hi All,
    is it possible to create project plan on project server center from sharepoint custom list automatically once i added an item to it using project server setting in the list setting not event receiver on item added on the list 
    I've configure the project server setting in my custom list and mapped the list field to the project custom fields
    but when i create an item the project not created in center i have to select the item in the list and from the the item tab in the ribbon i select create a project and this is not good i need to be automatic 
    khatib7

    Hello, if you need it to be created in ProjectServer straightaway why not skip the project ideas type list and just create the project in Project Server? Alternatively if you want to use the custom list look at using workflow to automate the project creation.

  • Unable to create a folder link to a folder located at filesystem repository

    Hello,
    I have created a File System repository manager which is working OK.
    The problem is that when I try to created a link between a folder located inside the /documents repository to any folder located at the repository I defined I receive this error:
    "The item could not be created because an exception occurred in the framework". I couldn't find any meaningful info at the defaultTrace.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Roy,
    (a) If you are (much) below SPS18, maybe try to upgrade.
    (b) Double-check the default trace. It is not impossible, but at least unprobable that there is no info inside.
    (c) If (a) and (b) don't help, open an OSS message...
    Hope it helps

  • How to create a linked data source with document libraries based on the same template?

    I use SharePoint Foundation 2013, SP Designer and Visual Studio 2013 to my needs. But there are several things which i don't get.
    I have a number of libraries which use the same template. I want to create a linked data source, that would contain them all, and if I add a library based on this template, the library would be added to the data sorce. Is it possible?
    I tried creating linked data souces, but the view that it brings by default is limited(no sorting, etc.). How can it be modified?
