Stump the Panel Topic: 404 when creating "link to a document" in a workspace doc lib http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ Paul Grenier, Lead Moderator en Tue, 21 Apr 2009 00:04:22 +0000 okeefekk on "404 when creating "link to a document" in a workspace doc lib" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/404-when-creating-link-to-a-document-in-a-workspace-doc-lib#post-5933 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 12:28:57 +0000 okeefekk 5933@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>Problem: When a user creates a new Link to a Document content type in a document library in a meeting workspace subsite the page they are redirected to produces a 404 error. Now here is the tricky part. This functionality works fine without extra metadata associated with the link; however my user wants to collect additional information about the link to display on the homepage of the workspace.</p> <p>I have looked at the URL of the spredirect page and the oldUrl variable appears contain a 1 as a folder in between the doc lib name and teh forms. Now that seems normal to me cause when I go to the doc lib the 1 is in the bread crumb and determines what meeting workspace page you are working on, however when I go to edit the link I just created, the edit form url does not contain the 1. Again, this only happens when the link to a document has additional metadata to enter. When I upload a document or create a new document this does not occur.</p> <p>URL from the spredirect oldUrl:<br /> <a href="http://domain/portal/meetingWorkspace/DocLib/1/Forms/EditForm.aspx?Mode=Upload&#38;CheckInComment=&#38;ID=7" rel="nofollow">http://domain/portal/meetingWorkspace/DocLib/1/Forms/EditForm.aspx?Mode=Upload&#38;CheckInComment=&#38;ID=7</a></p> <p>URL to edit the link to the document from the doc lib view:<br /> <a href="http://domain/portal/meetingWorkspace/DocLib/Forms/EditForm.aspx?ID=3" rel="nofollow">http://domain/portal/meetingWorkspace/DocLib/Forms/EditForm.aspx?ID=3</a></p> <p>Has anyone ever run across something like this? I tried searching, but I didn't find too much. </p>
