Adding both documents and links to documents in a single library

  Asked By: Melanie Scott         Date: Dec 05, 2008      Category: Sharepoint      Views: 384
 

I'm trying to add both documents and links to documents on a
network file share to a document library. If I create a link library I
have no problem adding links in the form of file://\\(computer name)
\folder\file, but after adding the link to a document in my file types
to a document library it refuses to add a link that doesn't begin with
the http or https designation it refuses to add anything.

Thanks for trying but that isn't my problem, I'm trying to add  a link
to a document  in a file  share on my network, not to another
SharePoint library. Since it doesn't have a web address it has to
use the file://\\(computer name)\(file). I've seen posts regarding
recoding the aspx page but to change the action of http\https
required but was looking for a quicker way. Any other ideas?

Back in the v2 days, I used the meta refresh approach.

The link  wraps. The page name is AddALinkToADocumentLibrary.aspx. You
may have to fill out whatever gets cut off in the wrap.
