Upload a Internet Shortcut into a Document Library in SharePoint Server General Q&A and Discussions    |   |  Help   Search For:     In:   Office   SharePoint Portal Server     SharePoint Server General Q&A and Discussions     SharePoint Server Design and Customization     SharePoint Server Setup and Administration     SharePoint Server Development and Programming              Mich@ 8/20/2007 9:13 AM PST   Question   Is it possible to upload a Internet Shortcut File into a Document Library? I have tried this and when I transfer the .URL file it doesn't actually copy the file but a copy of the content the Shortcut redirects to and converts it to an aspx-file?! The reason I want .URL files/Internet Shortcuts stored in Document Libraries is because they point to web content and I would like to tag them with categories together with content saved in other formats as .doc, .xls etc and have them viewed together in a webpart showing the list of documents.     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           Todd Klindt [WSS MVP]  8/20/2007 1:39 PM PST   Answer   Try this and see if it does what you're looking for, http://www.toddklindt.com/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=49 tk "Mich@" <Mich@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1B272D51-980D-49C8-BF3F-2226430AFB93@microsoft.com... > Is it possible to upload a Internet Shortcut File into a Document Library? > > I have tried this and when I transfer the .URL file it doesn't actually > copy > the file but a copy of the content the Shortcut redirects to and converts > it > to an aspx-file?! > > The reason I want .URL files/Internet Shortcuts stored in Document > Libraries > is because they point to web content and I would like to tag them with > categories together with content saved in other formats as .doc, .xls etc > and > have them viewed together in a webpart showing the list of documents. > >     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           Mich@ 8/23/2007 9:48 AM PST   Thanks Todd, it might be a solution but what I hoped for is really to use the same Content type för both documents and Shortcuts/URLs. Is this technically possible or is different Content types required?
