Just remember, with link to a document you don't get the destination doc's icon, and clicking it takes you to the link's info by default where you then have to click on another URL.... Most users hate them.

That also enables you to filter a DVWP based on the content type and put it anywhere you want. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nigel Hertz Sent: Wednesday, 24 November 2010 5:07 PM To: ozMOSS Subject: RE: Publish Page creation location - MOSS 2007 Main reason being is that the document library has, for example, 60 policies in it. 3 of those policies, however, belong to another division / department / whatever, so instead of duplicating those 3 policies, they want a redirect to the "real" location of it, and this redirect needs to be within the document library. I think the CEWP will likely be the way we do it, and I'll make sure to watch out for absolute URLs - been burnt by that before J From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Wednesday, 24 November 2010 3:54 PM To: ozMOSS Subject: RE: Publish Page creation location - MOSS 2007 Any reason why you don't just create a custom list and paste your URLs in using Datasheet View??

Certain death ;-) Simply put, the page library is a core component of the publishing feature. As it seems like you main priority is simply redirecting users, have you considered other alternatives outside SharePoint? I love reverse proxies in front of a web-facing deployment to handle stuff like this; if your redirect list is fixed (and users don't need to be getting in there) you could also use URL rewriting-anything that will return an HTTP 301 or 302 response. Also have a look at http://urlrewriter.net/ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nigel Hertz Sent: Wednesday, 24 November 2010 11:31 AM To: ozMOSS Subject: RE: Publish Page creation location - MOSS 2007 Not the answer I wanted to hear J Any idea as to what sort of issues you might run into? I created a couple and moved them before my original mail, and the redirects seemed to work okay. Michael - thanks for the link - I'll have a read through that article now.

Publishing pages are special, which is why you only get one Pages library per web. I don't think you can even rename the Pages library without running into problems. Regards, Paul -- Online Developer/Administrator, ICT Projects Team CEO Sydney From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nigel Hertz Sent: Wednesday, 24 November 2010 2:11 PM To: ozMOSS Subject: Publish Page creation location - MOSS 2007 Hi all Is it possible to change the location that a publishing page is created in? The scenario is as follows: I want to replace a bunch of legacy html files that use the meta-refresh tag to redirect users, with publishing pages that use the 'redirect page' page layout. I've tested this, and it works perfectly. My only issue is that they are created in the "pages" document library, and I want them in a document library of my choosing. Is it possible to do this, or should I create them by default, and then use the 'manage content and structure' to move them where I want?
