Display list or library on another site. (No Code Required)

This is a very cool functionality that I found it from this video. All has been tested and worked perfectly.

If you have got error on the imported web part, please try to reload the the web part and re-insert it on the page again.

Thanks for the author Laura Rogers for offering such a good solution.

Change the Default SharePoint OK and Cancel Button

Sometimes, we want to lead a page to a particular url location after clicking the SharePoint default OK and Cancel Button. However, it seems there is no way to change it. There is workaround I found on:

http://anythingprogramming-emsomeone.blogspot.com.au/2011/09/change-default-sharepoint-ok-and-cancel.html

Requirement:

When you click on the sharepoint OK and Cancel button, it should be redirected to a different url.

Workaround:

Instead of using the default sharepoint buttons:

<SharePoint:SaveButton runat=”server” ControlMode=”Edit” id=”savebutton1″ Text=”OK”/>
<SharePoint:GoBackButton runat=”server” ControlMode=”Edit” id=”gobackbutton2″/>

replace them with this:

<input type=”button” value=”OK” name=”btnSave” onclick=”javascript: {ddwrt:GenFireServerEvent(‘__commit;__redirect={}’)}” />


<input type=”button” value=”Cancel” name=”btnCancel” onclick=”javascript: {ddwrt:GenFireServerEvent(‘__redirect={}’)}” />

*** Note:
– You can put any URL in the __redirect={} that you want, for example __redirect={http://www.google.com} or __redirect={/news/PressReleases/}
– There should be no quotes around the URLs passed into the __redirect directive
