Customizing quick links into 2 diff web parts

Asked By: Pamela Ortiz Date: Mar 08, 2010 Category: Sharepoint Views: 287

Is there any way for me to have 2 different quick links web parts on
dashboard pages? These 2 would have different links..

I know that I can export out my quick links....and rename and add it
back...but then, how would I change the links in this?

It should work if you do it just like making a ne news Webpart. How to do
this look at spsfaq.com for how to generate a new News-Webpart. If I'm
correct then this should work for the quicklinks WP too.

You should be able to have a different folder in 'Portal content' and have
another web part report the contents of THAT folder. (In theory, I haven't
done it yet, but fully expect I'll need to.)

What I have done is I have various folders within the Quick Links folder in
Portal Content e.g. a General folder for Quick Links I want to appear on the
Home dashboard, an IT folder for Quick Links I want to appear on the IT
dashboard etc. I then cutomised the Quick Links web part by going to the
following line of code:
(strFolderPath, "PORTAL_QUICKLINKS_FOLDER_PATH_HOLDER", "/" &
GetWorkspacePropertyByUri(g_cdostrURI_QuickLinksFolder))

And changing it to:
(strFolderPath, "PORTAL_QUICKLINKS_FOLDER_PATH_HOLDER", "/" &
GetWorkspacePropertyByUri(g_cdostrURI_QuickLinksFolder) & "/General")
