List/Library item full Url in Powershell

Question

I have a script going through all Web.Lists and List.Items in given site collection. On one point i want to have a full link to the item that is being processed. I'm doing it this way:

$ItemURL = $List.ParentWeb.Url + "/" + $List.RootFolder.Url + "/dispform.aspx?id=" + $Item.Id

It works on all lists, but not on libraries due to lacking /Forms/ after library name. Any idea how can i modify it to work also on libraries? Adding "/Forms/" strictly to the line of code will break link for lists.

Answer 1

You can check for base type of the list type and handle it accordingly. If the base type is "DocumentLibrary" the you can have item url adding "Forms/" and else will be your list item url like below

if($List.BaseTemplate -eq "DocumentLibrary"){
 $ItemURL = $List.ParentWeb.Url + "/" + $List.RootFolder.Url + "/Forms/dispform.aspx?id=" + $Item.Id
}else{
 $ItemURL = $List.ParentWeb.Url + "/" + $List.RootFolder.Url + "/dispform.aspx?id=" + $Item.Id
}

Hope it helps you.

Try with List TemplateID

   if($List.TemplateID -eq "101"){
    $ItemURL = $List.ParentWeb.Url + "/" + $List.RootFolder.Url + "/Forms/dispform.aspx?id=" + $Item.Id
    }
    else{
    $ItemURL = $List.ParentWeb.Url + "/" + $List.RootFolder.Url + "/dispform.aspx?id=" + $Item.Id
    }

You should use the SPList.DefaultDisplayFormUr instead of assuming that it's /(Forms/)?displayform.aspx
