Pass a link to sharepoint document

I am trying to use a sharepoint library to host documents which I would open using from an ssrs hyperlink (url method)
has anyone ever been successful at this?
KDW

Hi sierra_gld,
According to your description, you want to access the documents hosted on sharepoint library via a hyperlink in a report. Right?
In Reporting Services, we can directly use Go to URL Action to access the document on sharepoint library. We just need to right click on a textbox/tablix. Select Textbox/Tablix Properties->Action->Go to URL, then type the document
URL. Please refer to screenshots below:
Reference:

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Links in Word Documents to SharePoint documents

Our SharePoint site contains Word documents with links to other documents stored in SharePoint.
When the users open a Word document stored in SharePoint, and then create a link, the users select the files in the "Current Folder" which is the SharePoint Network Drive. In this case the path is
\\rcssportal.co.riverside.ca.us\DavWWWRoot\sites\teammate\
When users then open the Word document, and select a link, they receive a "Cannot open the specified file" pop up.
If users do one of the following though, after being authenticated all the links will start working:
1. In the document library, select "Open with Explorer"
2. Map a Network Drive to
\\rcssportal.co.riverside.ca.us\DavWWWRoot\sites\teammate\

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to link in Word Documents to SharePoint documents.
I try to reproduce the issue, however, I can open the Linked Word Document in the SharePoint Network Drive.
Please make sure you create Network Drive correctly. For more information, you can refer to:
Using SharePoint Document Library as a Network Drive
If the issues still exist, I recommend to select "Open with Explorer" to open the document.

Linking a programmatically created folder in SharePoint Document Library.

I have created folders within a document library using InfoPath & C#. To that folder I uploaded several documents using several file attachment controls within the same InfoPath Form using the code behind the form. Now I want to create an Hyperlink
to each folder in another document folder's column that has the relationship with the previously created folder.
When I googled I saw there are lot of articles to create Folders ,uploading documents to folders in a SharePoint Library but I cannot understand how to create a hyperlink in a SharePoint Document Library field column.
Could someone help me to solve this matter?
Thanks,

Why don’t you create a hyperlink column to store the hyperlink value, or you can use a lookup column to lookup the related folder item?

How to show sharepoint documents in salesforce ?

How to show sharepoint documents in salesforce ?
I should also be able to upload documents from salesforce directly to sharepoint document library/list if the users attach a document for a record in salesforce. Any idea how to achieve this?
What are the things need to be done if my sharepoint is available in intranet Or if it is SharePoint Online , how can we link this to salesforce (as Salesforce is global and can be accessed from anywhere). What are the security measures that I need to look
at and how to achieve this?
Ex:- I have a record in salesforce account object. I have to attach a document for that record which should be directly uploaded to sharepoint and shouldn't exist in salesforce, but it should display the listview to the users once its uploaded to sharepoint
and they should see them as if they exist inside salesforce, once they click on the link in the listview of the relatedlist, it should open the document from sharepoint.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to show SharePoint documents in salesforce.
You need to integrate SharePoint with Salesforce.
Nick Swan
has written an article on how to integrate Salesforce and SharePoint 2007 through the Business Data Catalog.
But it might be useful as the theory is the same for using SharePoint 2010 and the Business Connectivity Services:
Salesforce and SharePoint
Outside of that, there are some useful third-party products you can have a look at.

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.
Barry Cohen
Barry Cohen

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

Download older version of a file from SharePoint Document Library using CSOM and 404 error

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

Attaching Attributes to Image For Loading to SharePoint Document Library

We currently have a need to create a searchable document library which will consist solely of images. The standard metadata for a file/image won't suffice in this case. We have some custom attributes that will need to be searchable.
Essentially, we will have a library of receipt images for expense reporting purposes. We get these images from a third party who handles all of our expense reporting. There are two large zipped files we receive: one file contains all the actual expense report
"data" that was processed that day(amount, date, client, job, etc.) and the second file contains all the receipt images for those expense report items. Each data file contains data for individual expense reports, and each expense report is assigned
a unique ID. Each line item in an expense report is also assigned a unique ID. Lastly, each receipt image for a line item of a specific expense report is also assigned a unique ID.
The zipped image file only contains images. There is a main image file - this contains several smaller zipped files. Each of the smaller zipped files contains all receipt images for a specific expense report. Each image file name is comprosed of three parts:
The expense report identifier, the unique image identifier, and the expense report line item identifier.
So, to put this all into perspective:
On Thursday, we received an image file named extract_images_p006320452r3_20140904171423
This file contained images for the following unique expense reports:
The compressed file 95FB8C488519427793FC contains the following receipt images:
The "data" file - as mentioned before - contains the actual info about the expense and image. These include: date of transaction, date approved, vendor, amount. GL code, type, function, client, project, billable or not, and several other attributes.
All of this information - including the location of the images - is stored in a SQL Server database and then placed in an SSAS cube.
The images are related back to the underlying data via the expense report id, and line item id.
What I need to be able to do is to somehow "tag" these images with all their underlying attributes, load then into a SharePoint document library, and make them searchable.
I have already figured out that I would need to create several SharePoint lists based on the available values in my OLAP cube (essentially a dataset each for clients, vendors, etc.). The part I have no idea how to accomplish is how to tag each image with
its respective information.
All the pertinent info is stored in the database tables, just don't know how to attach it to each image.
Hopefully, this made some kind of sense. If anyone has any idea on how to even remotely accomplish such a thing, your input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
A. M. Robinson

You will have to develop a custom solution to do this. I am assuming you have taken the first steps to define separate document libraries for the expense reports and images along with site columns and contenttypes. You would define the site columns based
on the data you want to search on and assign these to corresponding contenttypes. So basically a contenttype for expense reports and receipts possibly. You would link the two contenttypes using the expense report id.
Your custom solution would have to break apart the zip files and upload and index (set site column data) for each file. Then the user could search on the expense report id and get all the files associated with the expense report.
An alternative could be to use one document library and have all the files uploaded into their own document set (folder).

Adding a Sharepoint Document Library in Windows Explorer Fovorites

I want to add a sharepoint document library in my favorites in windows explorer... Every time I copy the link, instead of opening the library in windows explorer, it open the browser and go directly to the site... Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Sebastien

Hi Seabass:
Have you tried mapping the library in question as a network location on your local machine?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-shortcut-map-network-drive#1TC=windows-7
To map to a particular SharePoint resource on your site, you would use this structure:
\\mysharepointsite@80\sites\library\Photos as your network address.
In this manner, you can add this link to your Favorites, and you will have the Windows Explorer mode you're requesting. Hope this helps! ;)

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.

How to display the thumbnail view of the documents in Sharepoint Document Library

Is there a way that we can have the thumbnail view of the documents that are uploaded in SharePoint Document Library. We have thumbnail feature in Picture Library but can we have the same in Document Library too. Documents includes Words,Excel,PDF.
Any Suggestions Please

Hey Mike,
Good post, I'd be curious to see if anyone has used the GD Picture SDK with SharePoint, maybe there would be some sample code.
Hey Kukdai,
Developing your own solution would potentially provide a better way to accomplish your task, but before setting out on that long road you may want to try the simple customization, it's less time consuming and it will help gauge your customer's interest and
support.
Also, there is a wealth of open source code for SharePoint available on CodePlex, you might want to check that out as well. Here is the linK:
http://www.codeplex.com/
Also, here is an interesting project to consider for your task:

I hope that helps!

Passing dynamic content to a Document viewer in a Content Presenter Templat

Hi, This problem is probably for Yannick. Our customer has a bunch of documents in UCM. They want to be able to put links to these documents in their Navigation Model (Webcenter Spaces App) which bring up the document as content inside a page, i.e. inside a Document Viewer that is the content area of the page. In their last portal, they did this by creating a page for every document because the Document Viewer in Spaces requires an itemId to a specific document.
We need to create a single page and pass the URL or UCM Content Id to the Document Viewer that is the content area of the page. I tried creating a custom Content Presenter Template with a Document Viewer Task Flow inside. In the Nav Model, I have added a Content Item with the path to the doc in UCM. but it doesn't work. I even went into my CP Template and hard coded the resource Id parameter of the DV Task Flow but nothing comes up.
If I add a document in Spaces to the page, I add it in a Document Viewer and the "Item Id" is set automatically. Then it works. But I NEED to be able to do this dynamically to avoid tons of separate pages, one per document.
Please help. Thanks, Gary Kind

I was able to get it to partially work by using a link item in the navigation model. As URL parameter 'docId', I put the UCM resource ID, e.g. ucm_conn#dDocName:UCM_CLUSTER-000027. In the destination page, I have a Document Viewer Task Flow whose resourceId input parameter I set to #{param.docId}. This works in that the Document Viewer appears nicely and has the correct path/breadcrumbs. I can display the document in a browser from the View menu item. I can download it from the download menu. However the actual file contents do not show up. In the center where they should be, I get an Error-404 file not found. Why is that? It is finding the file in UCM, and I can access it other ways in the DV, but it can't find it in to put it in the Viewer area? That ain't right.
How do I get this to work correctly?

Setup a template document in a SharePoint document library

I created a template for a document library in SharePoint Online. I configure it so when the user needs to open a new document the template opens. It works if you go to Files\New Document, but if you click on the New Document link
in the document library when you select word the default template opens. How can I get the new document link in the document library to open the template document that I created?
Thanks
Judy

Its simple.. Go to the document library template which you have created. Then go to its library settings. Then go to advanced settings and select allow management of content type to yes. Then try to click ok and scroll down to find the option add from
existing site content types and then add your template which you have created and click ok. Once you have done that you will be able to see the option of that template when you click new. If you still don't get it then you can open a service ticket from the
sharepoint portal and post your ticket number here and I will try to reach you as soon as I can to take care of the issue from there. If you find this information useful, then propose this as an answer and vote. Thanks.
