How to add SharePoint Document Library web part on a team site page?

Question

I have created a Document Library in SharePoint and I want to post it on the team site, so instead of it being in site contents everybody can see it and interact with it on project portal. I was told I need to use Term Sets to do so.

How do I put a created library on the team site so that the folders are visible and interactable?

Answer 1

Based on your Head Question How to put SharePoint Document Library on team site? and what I understood you need to show Doc library at Team Site page not within Site Contents.

So the answer should be as the following :

• Edit your page at your Team Site.

• From the above Ribbon > Insert Tab > Add web part or App Part.
• From Apps Category > Select your Document Library Name.

Answer 2

Untested. Worked in 2010.

Go to the site that has the list view you want. Add a content editor webpart with the following:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('div[allowExport="false"]').attr("allowExport","true");
});
</script>

Now you can export the webpart you want.

Next, open the .webpart file in notepad and look for

<property name="WebId" …>all_zeros_guid_here </property>

Replace the zeros with the GUID of the site the list is on. You can get it by going to _layouts/sitemanager.aspx When you hover over a site in the right side, the GUID is displayed at the bottom left of the window. ScreenCapture it and type it in.

Save and upload webpart

Gotchas apply and include:

Only within site collection; Not tested with all list/lib; Will error while you allow editing of content type on target list

Alternate methods to aquire site GUID, from Mike Smith's Tech Training Notes

1) Wiki home page: Works for SP 2010 only: Display a Team Site home page (a wiki home page, home.aspx) that has at least one list web part, view the source of the page (right-view source) and search for "RelatedWebId" (you could temporarily add an Announcements or library web part to the page) WebPartWPQ2_RelatedWebId="{f70832a4-5d0d-4265-a344-ea10a0007160}"

2) Tree View: Works for both SP 2007 and SP 2010: Go to Site Actions, Site Settings, Tree View and enable Tree View. Then go to any page, view source and search for "ListNode:" spNavigateHierarchy(this,'','30:ListNode:f70832a4-5d0d-4265-a344-ea10a0007160:740...
