Issue in creating a add link to a document content type on a doc lib name with , / special characters

hi,
i am having a requirement to create/use "add link to a document" content type for a item in the document library.
so i got the code from below site :
http://howtosharepoint.blogspot.in/2010/05/programmatically-add-link-to-document.html
my issue is, if teh document library names are single words - like MOM, model, procedures etc this functionality is working fine and i am able to view the link to a document as an item.
but when the doc lib name contains special characters like , or / , this link to a document content type functionality is NOT working.
can anyone pls point me whether this is the actual issue ? ie, if the doc lib name contains special chars like , or / my
add link to a document wont work? is there any restrictions/limitations for doc lib names in SharePoint ?
for eg: my doc lib names are :
1) Report and analysis, Data
2) form / template
3) map/ plot
help is highly appreciated!

hi,
its talking abt the subsite names and folders and NOT the document librraies.
is there any link which gives the naming convention / restricted names for document libs or splists , from msdn / blogs.technet.
thnx

Problem "Link to a document" content type within document set - Bug?

Hello,
I'm having an issue with the "Link to a document" content type in one of my document libraries. The issue is when you create a link to a document inside a document set:
The result is that the users get redirected to the wrong URL (../docsethomepage.aspx instead of ../docsethomepage.aspx?ID=.......), and instead of seeing the actual document set they started from, with the new link (or any document that is already in the
document set) the users see a default view of a generic document set - not the one they started from:
Any suggestions on how to fix this? One library has this faults and one does not. Our SharePoint server is up-to-date.

Hi,
I reproduced the issue in different versions of SharePoint, it works in SharePoint Server 2013, and the issue occured to Office 365. I then tried enabling “Launch forms in a dialog”, it worked.
I will forward the issue to our internal feedback channel. And since the issue occurs to Office 365, please create service request with online engineer for root cause.

Get original URL for Link to a Document content type

Hello,
I'm having a SharePoint doc library with ItemAdded event receiver attached to it and "Link to a Document" content type enabled. My general question is:
How to get URL that the link points to?
I'll show you how I'm trying to achieve that:
SPWeb parentWeb = properties.Web;
if (properties.ListItem.ContentType.Name == LinkContentTypeName)
object urlFieldValue = properties.AfterProperties["URL"];
if (urlFieldValue != null && urlFieldValue.ToString() != String.Empty)
// continue
But I always get null so I can't even get inside IF statement. I've tried to install ItemAdded event receiver as synchronous, but it didn't make a difference. I'd appreciate any ideas.
Regards
Tomasz

This is not very convenient solution, because ItemUpdated can be executed more than once. However this certainly will work, so I'll accept this as a workaround. Actually I've found another one. I'm parsing link aspx file and I'm getting the URL
from mso:URL tag:
<%@ Assembly Name='Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' %><%@ Register TagPrefix='SharePoint' Namespace='Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls' Assembly='Microsoft.SharePoint' %><%@ Import Namespace='System.IO' %><%@ Import Namespace='Microsoft.SharePoint' %><%@ Import Namespace='Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities' %><%@ Import Namespace='Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls' %><html xmlns:mso="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:msdt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882"><Head> <META Name='progid' Content='SharePoint.Link'></head><body><form id='Form1' runat='server'><SharePoint:UrlRedirector id='Redirector1' runat='server' /></form></body></html>

Creating a new "Link to a Document" opens Word document or upload document dialog - plus more!

The Link to Document content type seems to be corrupted at root. When I attempt to create a new Link, either Word opens with a blank document or the "Upload" document dialog opens. It's been changing as I investigate.
One things I've noticed is that the "Link to a Document" Content Type on the parent site collection now shows it's parent as Document. this explains why the Word document opens, but not why the Upload dialog does.
While writing this question, I decided to check further and it seems that the other document types, Audio, Video etc. all now have Document as the parent and are opening a blank Word document.
Has anyone seen this behavior? How do I fix this?
This is on SharePoint 2010.
Thanks in advance.

Well, I spoke too soon. The process worked for all the custom content types, but the default Document type was still messed up. I probably should have fixed that one first, but...
Anyhow, the Document type had no template going to the Upload File dialog rather than the blank Word document it's supposed to go to. I followed the same procedure I'd followed for the other content types, checking what worked on another site and using that
template which in this case was a blank field:
So, I went opened Document, Document Content Type and went to advanced settings. The template field was empty, which matched the working site, so thinking that if I saved, it would match up with the working site. I saved the Document content type and when
after several minutes the save failed with an incredibly long list of locations where that were being perceived as "read only" plus several hidden content types that were listed as sealed. This snapshot shows a few of they many pages of content types. (I poorly
struck through confidential info):
Besides this gigantic error, which would require going to hundreds of locations on the site to change read access settings, which are, as far as I can tell actually not "read only" or are inaccessible, such as the hidden "System Page Layout' and so forth
which shouldn't be based upon the default document type anyway and therefor not fixable, I need to understand why this is happening and what to do about it. I don't want to spend the next two days going over all of these libaries and content types and ending
up back where I started with all the content types still screwed up. Afterall, I've spent about a day creating all these custom Content Types only to have the default Document content type loose its settings and corrupting everything and another day fixing
it and having it happen again.
This is a highly unacceptable behavior on the part of SharePoint and I would really like to fix this.
Help is sorely needed.
Thanks in advance

Link to Document Content Type issue - links not relative

I'm using the Link to Document content type in a library in order to link to documents in other libraries. We just migrated to 2010 from WSS 3.0 (2007) and are having an issue. We view our site internally thorough the internal machine address/name
and also have users connecting remotely from an external url. In 2007, it didn't matter whether we were internal or external, all links were apparently stored as relative because the "link to document" items worked fine either way. This
was despite entering the url fully and not relative. When viewing/editing the properties of that item, it shows you the full url applicable to where you are viewing it...internal if internal, external if external.
However, after the migration to 2010, all links that existed previously are fine, but any new items created using link to document apparently no longer store them as relative so either the internal or external users get the wrong link. For example,
if I put in the link as http://servername/library/doc the external users get that same link and it doesn't work, since it should be like https://myurl/library/doc. Viewing/editing the properties of the item shows an absolute url of whatever location
the item was added. For instance if I'm connected externally and add an item, even if i only enter it as relative, it creates the link as https://myurl/library/doc and then the internal users end up having to connect via that url and that is just a pain
due to AD and certificate issues. The internally created links are obviously not accessible at all from the outside.
I've also tried storing the link as relative when creating the item but it seems to overwrite it with the absolute link.
This is causing quite an issue with us. Does anyone have any insight as to what is going on and how to fix it?
thanks!

Hmm...I thought I had the thread set to email me if there were replies and I never received an email so I thought there were no replies. I came back to this since another issue cropped up that is related and there were replies!
I cannot recall how things were set up exactly in 2007 and there's no way to look back now. I'm a novice when it comes to AAM/DNS/IIS really. Maybe you can suggest what it should look like?
We have our site which is accessed internally by http://machinename . Externally, we use https://sharepoint.mydomain.com .
In AAM we have http://machinename listed in the default zone with the same url for internal and public. We also have https://sharepoint.mydomain.com listed, in the internet zone and it also has the same url for both internal and public.
In IIS, the sharepoint site has bindings for port 80 and 443, but nothing specific to https://sharepoint.mydomain.com
DNS....I'm not sure what should be here, if anything.
We can access the site just fine externally, there are just a few instances where some links do not work correctly and point to the internal url instead of external when you are external. The original post is one time and the other, found the other
day, is a search box webpart that points to a relative url for the results page but externally it ends up going to the internal url.
I'd appreciate any guidance. Thanks!

How to add the library document version to the parent Document content type?

Hi All,
I have a PWA instance with a project site for each project.
Each project site has its own document library.
Now I want to create several Templates to be available within each document library.
I have created the new content Site Content Types (Site Settings > Site Content Types) to fit my needs; each content type has the "document" content type as parent type.
Now I want include the "version" property (the dynamic value from the versioning) to each new document type, so I have tried to enable the "Information management policy settings" to the parent "document" type or the new ones,
including the label "{Version}", but I receive this error:The label reference, Version, could not be found.
So the only way to do this, is to open each site document library and make this change within it.
Why I can't enable the Lable at the Site level?
Thanks

Hi,
I can reproduce the issue by adding {version} or {_UIVersionString} in site content types > Document > Information Management policy settings > enable label.
As workaround, please create a document library, then add label in document library settings > Information Management Policy settings. Now save this document library as template and create new document library based on this template, the policy settings
will be saved for new document libraries.

File created with Document Content Type will not be saved back to Sharepoint library

Recently some of our users, after upgrading to Windows 8.1 with Office 2013, intermittantly are not able to save files created using document content types template back to sharepoint library. Instead the location is set
to their local storage. The same templates used by Windows 7 users with Office 2010 are working fine. Setting the SP sites as Trusted location in IE and Clearing IE Cache did not help. Adding the SP site in Word Trusted Location did
not help. Any suggestions how this can be resolved is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not save office file back to the SharePoint Document library.
It may have to something with your Word Settings. When you click new and it opens in MS Word, word treats it as unsafe because perhaps it is not saved. To make it work:
Go to Word (2013) -> File Menu -> Options -> Trust Center -> Trust Center Settings
-> Protected View Tab -> Uncheck "Enable Protected View for files located in potentially unsafe locations" (2nd option)
Here is the similar post, you can take a look at:
http://blogs.interfacett.com/word-2010-not-saving-back-to-sharepoint-2010-by-default
If the issue persist, you can also check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
To check event log, click the Start button and type “Event Viewer” in the Search box.
For SharePoint 2010, by default, ULS log is at:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS

How can I add linked text boxes to Contents?

I have a lot of sections in my chapters, and I think they are all coming in to the TOC, but the automatic text box doesn't have a blue tab, so I cannot add a new text box to continue showing the sections. How can I make this show up? There's no layout I can manipulate for the TOC, so I cannot make the text editable, which is the suggestion that I have seen for regular linked text boxes.

Hello,
If you want to add image to it's background then you can select the SubMenu and use the fill option to fill an image to it.
Make sure you uncheck "Edit together" option in Menu properties so that you can add different images to different submenus.
And if you want to edit the text and add images to it, I would suggest you to use Manual menu. Where you can customize your own Menu and add links to the Menus and Submenus.
Please have a look at the screenshot showing how to create Manual menu :
Hope this helps.

Links with special characters work on the web, but are broken in RSS feed

Hi everyone,
I've been searching the forum, but haven't found anything relevant.
Here is my problem. Most embedded links on my blog posts work fine. However, sometimes I use links with embedded special characters. Here's an example link to a YouTube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugiY9t6fzo4
When I go to my blog on the web and click on the link, the link works fine. BUT, when I look at my RSS feed from the blog, the link gets transformed into:
http://www.youtube.com/watch%253Fv%253DugiY9t6fzo4
... which doesn't work.
Something (I presume iWeb?) replaces the "?v=" with "%253Fv%253D"
Obviously, I get a lot of e-mail from my RSS subscribers telling me about broken links.
What can I do? Does anyone else have this issue?

Bpel parsing issue with special characters...

Hi All,
We are integrating Oracle Sales Order information with OTM as Order Releases.
For this we are sending the Sales Order in the form of clob from the procedure to the Bpel process.
1. A PL/SQL procedure would send the Sales order XML as a CLOB.
2.In the BPEL process , we are performing ora:parseXML() function on the clob obtained.
3.A patch was installed on the BPEL SOA server:
10.1.3.3.1 MLR#8, Patch#6906880 which was supposed to handle all the parsing activities at run time.
4. But when ever any special character viz..; #,UNIT¿S etc the BPEL process is failing with a fault string due to Parsing error.
5. Could you please provide us a workaround for solving this issue ASAP with all the special characters.
I have provided a sample xml tag due to which the parsing is failing in the bpel process. here it is failing because it is not able to parse : UNITÂ¿S successfully...

Issue with special characters in SAP CRM ICSS application.

Hi ,
I have issue with the special character in CRM web application.
1. In CRM IC Webclient application(5.0) . i am copying and pasting some special characters in the description of the service request document. then this is saving the character as it is.
But when i am opening the same service request in SAP CRM ICSS(Internet Customer Self-Service) application, then the special characters are converting to different characters.
I am not sure whether this is the right forum for this or not.
Can anyone please suggest how can i correct this. Or is there any standard solution to handle the special characters in ICSS.
Thanks
