| Oct 6, 2011 at 12:51 | comment | added | SharePointEric | So the current user experience when using Link to a Document is simply a prompt for a URL and a description, where the user simply pastes or enters a URL. That URL must begin with http or https due to validation baked into the newlink.aspx form. My use case is that the target isn't a URL but rather a UNC path for a network storage location, e.g. \myshare\folder\file.doc. UNC paths are addressable using the file:// prefix but newlink.aspx won't accept that as a valid URL. | |
| Oct 2, 2011 at 11:04 | comment | added | spevilgenius | So the goal is to allow a user to go to New - Link to Document and select a document to link to? What is the expected outcome? Sorry, still missing the sequence you want to happen! | |
| Sep 30, 2011 at 15:17 | comment | added | SharePointEric | I have a document library in a Project Web Access (WSS3.0) workspace and some users have files larger than I want to allow in the content database. In order to have the links to those files commingled with docs in the library I'm using the "Link to a Document" content type. There's a validation function baked into newlink.aspx that forces the URL to contain the http or https prefix. We can work around that by changing to file: on editform.aspx because the validation isn't present there but users reject that solution. | |
