Imtech SharePoint GoCodes (Free SharePoint Feature)

, , ,

Imtech SharePoint GoCodes is a SharePoint Feature which allows you to manage a list of accessible URL's in SharePoint 2007. Instead of using for example http://SharePoint/MyDivision/SubSites/Documents/VeryImportant.docx you can use http://SharePoint/go/ImportantDoc.

The Feature allows you to use semantic URL's. It becomes really useful if you either send URL's to other people or want to make particular pieces of your SharePoint Site easily accessible.

Imtech SharePoint GoCodes List

The Imtech SharePoint GoCodes Feature gives you two redirect options: permanent and temporary. These options are very important considering Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Depending on your scenario you might want search engines to index particular redirects and skip others.

Another Feature is tracking the number of redirects. You can enable it per redirect. It gets particularly useful if you use a particular Go for example in presentations and would like to know how many people have visited it.

Imtech SharePoint GoCodes is a free Feature and you can use it without any restrictions.

Download: Imtech SharePoint GoCodes v1.0.0.0 (25KB) and the source code (69KB).

    Hi,

    I have installed the solution "Imtech.SharePoint.GoCodes.wsp" and activate the feature. I go to GoCodes library http://mihail:16776/Lists/GoCodes/AllItems.aspx and set
    1. Go Code – "http://mihail:16776/SitePages_2.0.809.1500/PersonPersonalInfo"

    2. Url – "http://mihail:16776/SitePages_2.0.809.1500/PersonPersonalInfo.aspx"

    But when I'm accessing "http://mihail:16776/SitePages_2.0.809.1500/PersonPersonalInfo" message "page can not be displayed" appears. Please can you tell me what to do to resolve this problem.

    Greetings,
    Mihail

    You have misunderstood the concept of a go-code. You cannot enter a full URL to redirect to. Instead you should use a short go-code. In your situation the go code could be 'PersonalInfo' and the URL "http://mihail:16776/SitePages_2.0.809.1500/PersonPersonalInfo.aspx". You would be able to access your page by using "http://mihail:16776/go/PersonalInfo"

    We are having internet-facing site.My client is expecting to display .html extension for all publishing pages with removing \"Pages\" folder url.

    e.g

    for Page say http://www.abc.com/Pages/Home.aspx

    In address bar user only need to write

    http://www.abc.com/home.html

    It it possible in sharepoint?

  4. Waldek Mastykarz Says:

    @Amit: I'd say it is possible but it would definitely involve some custom development. MOSS 2007 doesn't provide such functionality out of the box.

    Hi Waldek, Thanks for your code. is it possible to redirect an URL with query string? for ex, http://san/Pages/PriceList.aspx?itemID=1 to http://san/Pages/priceList/iPhone

  6. Waldek Mastykarz Says:

    @San: I think that you would have to use a custom URL rewriting solution for that.

  7. San Says:

    Hi Waldek, I tried your GoCodes Project and its a great idea!!! it works for me if the url is http://san/Lists/GoCodes/Go/FirstRedirectItem but not for http://san/Go/FirstRedirectItem why is that happening even though we have httphandlers entries in web config.

  8. Waldek Mastykarz Says:

    @San: That's interesting. Have you changed anything about the path to the HttpHandler in web.config?

  9. San Says:

    when I activated the feature these things are added to <
