I need to change the folder icon in a sharpoint document library view.
The catch is, the folder icon is dependent upon various folder properties. So, I need a specific icon for specific folders (I just don't want to change the folder icon across the board).
My initial thoughts were, that if I could find the page (xml or aspx) that sharepoint uses to generate the img tag, I would modify the source to be something like:
src="/GetFolderIcon.aspx?fn={FolderNameHere}"
Where {FolderNameHere} is the actual folder name. Then, in GetFolderIcon.aspx, I would look up the various folder properties, and determine which .gif or .jpeg I needed to send back to the browser.
The problem is, I don't know where that page is located, or what it's even called.
I don't know if that's the correct approach or not, but that's my current thoughts.
Any suggestions on how to do this?
Thanks!
here is a tutoral on something very similar.

I have a Visio doc that has ~200 links to a collection of Excel spreadsheets. I have the spreadsheets but the Visio links point to a path that is inaccessible. I would like to change these. Using Visio Plan 2.
By a lot of experimenting the only way I could find was to open the doc, tell Visio to update the links, then when it failed go through the links in the convert dialog that appeared.
This dialog isn't very helpful as the file path is all jammed into a small text box with no resizing controls. Fortunately, I could see the end of the filename and that was sufficient for me to determine which file was for each link.
I had to edit each one of these entries individually as one can't group select and edit in this dialog.
Pain that it was, I did get the links hardcoded to another location, so at least that aspect works.
However, I need to have these as a relative location so that the vsd and xls files can travel together and any other user can open the vsd no matter the location, just so the vsd and xls are in the same folder.
I can't find a way to do this. I tried prepending the file name with '..\filename', Visio complained but I went through and edited all of them, saved, but it failed to find them when I re-opened the document.
How can I make a relative path in these? Is there an easier way to edit the links?
Thanks.

I'm not able to save multiple files at a time in delphi save dialog box. Multiple files means I want save files without mentioning anything(or only asterisk) at "filename" field in delphi TsaveDialog. Please let me know how to achieve that.
Of course not, because that is not what it is intended for. You CANNOT obtain multiple filenames from a single save dialog. It only provides one filename at a time. That is by design.
I suspect what you really want is to prompt the user for just a folder path instead. Use the SelectDirectory() function (or the Win32 SHBrowseForFolder() function directly) for that, then you can create whatever files you need in that folder.
The save dialog doesn't save files. It allows the user to select file names. The save dialog doesn't support multiple selection so if you want to have a file dialog that allows multiple selections you need an open dialog. But an open dialog typically is used to select names of existing files, whereas a save dialog can specify a name of a file that does not yet exist.
Wildcards when entered into file dialogs are used to filter the displayed list of files. The file dialog won't return file names containing wildcards.
You imagine using wildcards, but how would you be able to do that and create new files? Wildcards are used to pattern match against existing files.
Maybe what you need is a folder selection dialog. Or perhaps you should ask the user for the name of the "master" file and then you generate the names of the "auxiliary" files using the master file name as a stem. I'm guessing because you've not told us any specifics behind your question.
My advice is to reconsider carefully what you are attempting to achieve. Think of all possible corner cases. Explore what UI idioms are used by other programs. Make sure you understand fully the capability of the file dialog controls. And then design your UI to fit with all of these constraints.
I need to save a file from iPhone/iPad to SharePoint site. When I tried to upload content with the same name of one document that actually there, it succeeds and even file size is shown as that of the new one. But content remains as the initial file as itself.
Do anyone have a solution for this?. Please let me know if something is there.
I like to have a main page Web part with a link to each one of the shared documents in our portal.
The problem is that they are from different libraries and also I want the SharePoint to keep track of check in and check outs of the files. When I use, Content Editor to add the links, and then click on the list, it download a copy of file and saved changes do not change the original document.
I thought about creating a modified view in that specific library and filter out just one file. Then put that file in the front page. But, the first problem is that the file is 2 or 3 level deep in hierarchy. Also, even if I manage to do that, what should I do about different files in different libraries?

Does anyone have some sample code demonstrating how to make a "file browser" view? I'd like to be able to navigate through directories and drill-down the sub-directories and see files located within the various folders. I want the user to be able to create new directories/files and even select an existing file. Is there sample code out there already available to do this?
I don't know about sample code, but this wouldn't be too complicated to achieve using NSFileManager and a UITableView.
You can obtain arrays of directory contents using the subpathsOfDirectoryAtPath:error and associated methods of a file manager. These arrays in turn can populate a UITableView. It would be fairly easy to put together a navigation controller that could display a series of table views showing a file hiearchy.
Bear in mind, however, that you'll only be able to access the directories inside your application sandbox, unless you're running on a jailbroken device.
The iOS programming guide says that
You should never present users with the list of files in this directory and ask them to decide what to do with those files. Instead, sort through the files programmatically and add files without prompting.
This is assuming you are trying to implement file browse feature for your documents directory.
I'm an author of FileExplorer which is a file browser for iOS and fulfills most of your requirements.
Here are some of the features of my control:
Possibility to choose files or/and directories if there is a need for that
