Description

Using Target URL to open documents in qListView from document libraries with sub folders

Please wait...

ISSUE: Using qListView to merge a custom list with a document library and setting the Target URL to open the documents when clicked. The problem is that the documents in the root folder work with using http://servername/list/<%name%> but not if they are in a sub folder

Cause

This is because the name variable does not include the folders that the documents live in.

Resolution

qCalendarView has a variable called <%FilePath%> that we can use for the Target URL path.

This will put the whole URL in for the document and is all that is required in the Target URL path and now when you click the link to the document it will open as expected.
