Add item to SharePoint list but returning to another location
Brad asked me for a solution to the following scenario:
I have two WSS sites -
- Site A is a project site for all project team members
- Site B is an issue capture and resolution site for three project issue trouble shooters.
Question: How can I call the newitem.aspx, located in Site B - Issues webpart from a link on Site A so that the newitem.aspx form pops up and the Site A users can fill it out. When they click the submit button, they return to Site A?
In other words, SIte A users only need to fill out the issues form. Site B users collect the issues and work them to resolution. My requirement is that Site B issues should be worked and reviewed on Site B, not on Site A.
This can be resolved using the Source parameter on the url of newitem.aspx:
You can add Source=xxx on the url, so:
../../../AddItem.aspx?Source=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Egoogle%2Ecom
Note the encoding!!!
After filling out the item, it will bring you back to the specified URL.
UPDATE: NOTE THE CASING OF THE Source PARAMETER, FIRST ‘S’ MUST BE CAPITAL!!
