SP2010 ListView Link to Child Items?

[Brett]

HI Alexander,

I’ve enabled this for my SharePoint 2010 List.
But in the List view, I cannot see how to link to the Child Item in a List View.
The _vLookupID column shows text for example: 1203:1467264114503
I’ve gone thru the forum and documentation but can’t find how to display this a hyperlink to the associated Child List item.

Is there a setting I need or calc column to use?

Thanks

Hi,
There is no built in method to link this to the child item. What you need to do is to use the “vLookup_ListView.html” (from the “SPJS/DFFS” folder) file in the list view itself to bring up the “vLookup children” in the list view.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks Alexander, that has worked.
Just added that file to a cewp in the ListView.
Much appreciated.

Hi Alexander,

I am trying to get this to work a few years later but guess things have changed.

Instead of linking to “vLookup_ListView.html” in the SPJS/CEWP folder of DFFS, do I now add a CEWP to the form and point it to /SPJS/DFFS/CEWP/DFFS_frontend_CEWP.html?

Having trouble showing the child items in the Parent List view.

It is a classic list, I have added the vlookup column, and tabular view is checked.

Basically just want a link to the child item from the parent item.

You are supposed to link to the file /SPJS/DFFS/vLookup_ListView.html – if that doesn’t work you must hit F12 and look for clues in the developer tools console.

Sorry been a long day and totally got wrong url, thank you it works fine.

Will buy you a beer and wish Finland well in Euros!

Thanks,
I’m glad you figured it out – and just for the record: I live in Norway 🙂

Best regards,
Alexander

Sorry one more thing, the vLookup does the query which retrieves the child item data. Is there something I can add in the vLookup to create a link to the child, in the child table?

[Paul Lynch]

“There is no built in method to link this to the child item.” Just seen this again, so I guess not.

Perhaps I can do this with JQuery somehow

Not 100% sure I understand what you mean, but you can add a link to the child item by using the setting Misc > View item link visible in > List views.
