If you want to create a hyperlink to the new document button of a forms library then you can use the following template.
http://{server}/_layouts/FormServer.aspx?xsnLocation=http://{fullpath to the library}/forms/template.xsn?DefaultItemOpen=1
Just change the server (incl. site collection) and the full path to the library.
That should do it!
- Go to the Home of your site
- Click on Site Actions and select Site Settings
- Under Galleries select List Templates
- Click the Documents tab and select Upload Document
- Select the list template (.stp file) that you want to upload
- Now you can create a list based on your new template
Setting up user profile synchronization seems to be one of the most tricky tasks in SharePoint 2010. I experienced this myself just recently.
The problem was that I started with the farm configuration wizard right after I first installed SharePoint 2010. This basically sets up everything for you, including a default user profile synchronization service and My Site host. Starting from there resulted in lots of issues. I could get SharePoint to work properly with my own newly created User Synchronization Service. Even after properly setting the service connectors.
So after a lot of head scratching I just started all over with two fresh web applications.
In this post I would like to share which documentation I used to set everything up and make it work:
This is probably one of the best guides out there to set up user profile synchronization: http://www.harbar.net/articles/sp2010ups.aspx
Follow it to the letter!
This post explains common issues with user profile synchronization: http://www.harbar.net/articles/sp2010ups2.aspx
This is a video I found explaining user profile synchronization: It’s way too high level though: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/technet/en-us/office/media/video/video.html?cid=stc&from=mscomoffice&VideoID=29d6d43b-3a9a-4e1c-97e4-3fa93ac0d810
This is the official “Configuring profile synchronization guide” from TechNet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee721049(office.14).aspx#WebAppProc
This TechNet article had some info related to planning user profiles: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee721054.aspx
So hopefully this will help you get you on your way!
