SharePoint 2010 document library - Add a link that points to a page

Hi
A department has created a document library. Now, they would like to have a link visible in that library that points to another .aspx page. Is that possible?
I've seen how to add a "link to a document", but I want to add a link to a page, not a document.
Thanks in advance,
Sonya

Thanks. I think adding a web part should satisfy their request.
I tried the "Link to a document" content type suggestion, but I'm not sure if there's something missing from our SharePoint installation, or if something is different with our template.docx file, or if SharePoint 2010 is playing strangely with
Office 2013, but after I added the "Link to a document" content type and chose it from the New Document drop-down, it wants to auto-launch Word 2013 with no dialogue for adding a URL.
However, once in Word, there are a couple of boxes just above the content area to type a URL and a description (screenshot below). I pasted the URL to the page in the URL box, left the description and content area blank, then saved the file back
to the library. However, when you click on the document in the library, it simply wants to open Word without going to the link.

Created a new SharePoint 2010 List Definition project, Sandbox deployment option. List Definition type: Documents Library. When attempting to save into the document library from Microsoft Word 2010 I get "The webpage no longer exists" error in
the File Save dialog
If I change the type of the solution to Farm solution it works as expected.

Hi,
According to your post, an error occurred when you used the custom Documents Library(List Definition using sandbox solution).
Please check whether you have removed <ContentTypeRef/> in the <ContentTypes/> tag of Schema.xml file in your project.
Here is a sample about list definition deployed as a sandbox solution, you can take a look at:

How to add custom file icons on SharePoint 2010 document library?

Hi there,
In a document library SharePoint shows the PDF and Word etc icons all fine - however we have a custom file format with a custom icon. Is this possible to add this custom icon for our custom extension? How?
Thank you so much.

Hi,
You could accomplish your requirement by using jQuery with these steps, and this code is using jQuery to modify it on the current page, if you would like to make it work on all library, you need to choose the former method or add this JQuery script on all
library pages manually:
Upload a custom icon to file “14\ Template\Images” or your SharePoint document library.
Add this code below in the document library that you want to extend your custom icon, you could add code by following these: Click edit page in the document library -> add a web part -> choose Content Editor -> click edit source in the Ribbon ->
add the source below -> click OK.
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var fileObject = $("[title$='docx']");
for(var i=0; i < fileObject.length; i++){
//fileObject[i].outerHTML="<img width=\"16\" height=\"16\" title=\"test.docx\" alt=\"test.docx\" src=\"/_layouts/15/images/custom.png\" border=\"0\">"; // upload your custom icon to file ” 14\ Template\Images”, replace your src URL
fileObject[i].outerHTML="<img width=\"16\" height=\"16\" title=\"test.docx\" alt=\"test.docx\" src=\"/sites/sharepoint2013/Shared%20Documents/custom.png\" border=\"0\">"; // upload your custom icon to SharePoint document library, replace your src URL

In SharePoint 2010 Document Library "Open with Explorer" Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer

Hi.
I am getting below error "Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer" while click "Open with Explorer" option in document library.
My system is client machine which is 32 Bit system and
Web Client service is also running and Window 7 PC.
Other SharePoint sites "Open with Explorer" option in document library is working fine but specific site is giving error.
Even it was working fine but not is giving this error.
Please help me on it. Its making frustrations.
Thanks & Regards
Poomani Sankaran

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got “Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer” error.
Did you enable the both authentication (Windows and FBA) on default zone.
As far as I remember when FBA is enabled on the same zone when Windows is used, it breaks whole client integration.
So it will be better if you will recheck your architecture and will use different zones for Windows and FBA.
There is also another thing to try: use claims based authentication with authentication provider which will work both with Windows and FBA.
What’s more, you can also check with below steps.
Use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
Add the site into Trusted sites to check whether it works..
Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Sites->add the site into the Websites, then check whether it works.
In addition, you can also try to enable Basic authentication on the client computer, by setting the BasicAuthLevel registry entry of the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
For detailed steps, visit the following KB page.

Microsoft Word Hangs When Opening Document From SharePoint 2010 Document Library

I am running into an issue where Word hangs when opening certain files from a document library. When the issue occurs, Word opens and hangs at the Downloading <Doc URL> stage. I have tried disabling the SharePoint plugins in IE and that
makes no difference. I can download a local copy of the file and open in just fine. The file in questions exists in a separate document library where it can be opened just fine (The file was copied to the library where the issue is occurring by
a Workflow). The issue also has only occurred on .docx files and not .doc, however, not all docx files are having the issue.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be causing this?
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that when you opened a certain files from a document library, it hanged at the downloading stage.
I tried to reproduce the issue, after coping by a workflow, the .docx files opened well in my environment.
Did the issue occur in other documents libraries? You can copy the files to a new documents library by workflow, then check whether it works.
For more details we also can check the SharePoint ULS logs.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS
Have you check your IE settings (Tools->options->connections->LAN settings->uncheck Automatically detect settings).
Please also use fidder tools to detect the process. You can download it by the following link.

Javascript to upload a file to SharePoint 2010 document library

create a webpart page with the controls to upload the file to document library and assign values to the fields in the library. I am looking for some javascript for doing this. Is there any other way of achieving this? Please share any sample
code.
<label for="title">Enter the title for this document:</label> <input type="text" id="title"><br/><br/>
<input id="inputFile" type="file"/><br/><br/>

How can I automatically enable content approval on a SharePoint 2010 document library

Hi All,
I would like to enable
content approval feature 'Yes' in version setting page by default when the new site is created under SharePoint 2010 farm. How could achieve this. Kindly help.

Hi, Are you creating publishing site? if yes Turn on Content Approval for SharePoint 2010 Sites By default, Content Approval is turned off in SharePoint 2010 and (usually) any user with Read access can see Draft items in most libraries. Sites created with
the publishing site template, however, already have Content Approval turned on in the Pages library.

Sharepoint 2010 Document Library Group Filter

I am having difficulty grouping my documents without folder by grouping by. I would like to use the expand or collapse feature. I have several documents that are need to be group together and have a separate sub group of folders that will not allow me
to have to type each content in the sub groups.

Hi,
Per my knowledge, when we apply the group by feature in the view, the documents would group by the column which you had chosen as below.
When we upload a file to the library, the file would auto group by in the library.
Could you explain more details about your issue? It will be better if you can give us a print screen.

Let me know if it is possible to link the document library add button to homepage or any other page, if possible add a new icon to it, as part of customization.
I am using sharepoint 2013.
If possible please let me know the steps, as well as few articles related to the above would be helpful.
Thanks

As you are not displaying your new item form into a dialog you can remove the IsDlg=1 from your link and you can append a &Source="PageWhereYouWantToGoBackAfterUpload".

Can't Publish Slides from PowerPoint 2013 to SharePoint 2010 Slide Library

Hello all,
When I attempt to publish PowerPoint 2013 slides to a SharePoint 2010 Slide Library it informs me that it failed. I am able to publish PowerPoint 2010 slides without issue. All of my permissions are correct. Is it possible to publish PowerPoint 2013 slides
to SharePoint 2010?
The weird thing is that while I can't publish, I can compile a new slide deck in PowerPoint 2013 using the "Copy slide to presentation" button in the slide library of my SharePoint 2010 site.
Thanks!
Kelly
Personal Blog: http://thebitsthatbyte.com

When I get this error it is because SharePoint is not passing the credentials to the network share where the slide library is located. So when PowerPoint
tries to upload slides to SharePoint it is giving an error of unauthorized (because your credentials are not being passed correctly). Every part of SharePoint is essentially a network shared drive just like you have an internal network to share files between
employees. Assuming you are having the same problem for the same reason, here's the work around:
Set up a mapped network drive that goes to where the slide library is located. It should be something like this: \\sp.sharepoint.com@SSL\site\Sales\Slide Library
When you connect to this drive it will prompt you for a log in (just like SharePoint would)
Once you log in your credentials will be cached (until you reboot your system or it times out)
You can then publish to your PowerPoint slides to the library either directly through PowerPoint or by going to the upload slides option on SharePoint
The problem is it only last until you reboot. When you reboot it clears out your credentials then you have to log in again. I’m hoping someone can figure out why SharePoint is
not passing the credentials properly so we can have true fix to this issue. Until then, this will get you by.

Connecting a SharePoint 2013 Document Library to Outlook 2010 client

Good Day,
Can someone please confirm if you can connect a SharePoint 2013 Document Library to Outlook 2010 client?
I have seen articles, like the one shown below for Outlook 2013 to SharePoint 2013;
http://www.sharepointgeoff.com/how-to-connect-a-sharepoint-2013-document-library-to-outlook-2013/
Please provide a link to documentation to validate what Outlook Office versions will support viewing Document Library from Outlook client from a SharePoint 2013 Document Library.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to review my request.
Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Per my understanding, you might want to connect SharePoint 2013 Document Library to Outlook 2010 client application.
Yes, SharePoint 2013 Document Library can connect to Outlook 2010 client application, the connecting process is similar as what SharePoint 2013 connect to Outlook
2013 client application does.

SharePoint 2010 document broken link due to unrecognized File protocol: ms-word

Please help point me in the right direction. I checked the File association on Internet settings and document type docx is associated with Word, but it won't open. What do I need to change?
I received the following information when I clicked on the troubleshoot link:
Windows has the following information about this Protocol. This page will help
you find software needed to open your file.
Protocol Type: ms-word
Description: UnKnown
Windows does not recognize this Protocol.

Title: SharePoint 2010 document broken link due to unrecognized File protocol: ms-word
Please help point me in the right direction. I checked the File association on Internet settings and document type docx is associated with Word, but it won't open.
Try refining this symptom description. What exactly do you mean by "it won't open"? Answering that might explain why you are posting this in an IE forum. E.g. right-click, Copy Shortcut whatever it is that you are calling
a "broken link" and Paste it here.
Otherwise, try right-click, Save target as... to put the file into your Downloads (Ctrl-j) and then use right-click, Properties to find its
full path and name. Note that that would be quite different from what the Copy Shortcut step would have shown.
Next I suspect that the Set Associations GUI tool may not be showing you the correct information. FWIW it certainly doesn't show me the correct information in W8.1. So, I would try checking if you have an explicit association and file type combination
by using the assoc and ftype commands in a cmd window. In fact, instead of just showing the ftype for the current association I would use this:
ftype | find /i "word"
Then you could take the most appropriate template (not necessarily the one pointed to by the assoc command) and fill it in on a Run... dialog (or a cmd window command line if you also went back to ensure that the implied program
would be found by your PathExt shell variable.) Etc.
Doing that would make your symptom description independent of IE. All it would have done for you is download the file. If you couldn't open it then it would be because either the file was saved incorrectly (in which case you could rename it)
or it was bad.

Cannot edit JPG, GIF files stored in a SharePoint 2010 picture library

Created a SharePoint 2010 picture library to store .jpg, .gif images along with other types of images which were created using Adobe photoshop, Tiff etc.
Upon clicking on the .jpg, .gif files for editing purposes, they open in the browser instead of Photoshop so I cannot edit these files for this reason. Other types of image files are editable but not the jpg, gif files. File associations are already
in place for these files to open in Photoshop. Please advise.
Thank you,
Mahesh

You can change the default application that opens while you click open document using DocIcon.xml which is present on the web front ends. Please look at this link which explains what you need to update in order to take care of your requirement.
