Overview

qPageRedirector sends users to a designated URL. To accomplish this, you could create a "My Home" hyperlink on your page that redirects the user to the

MyHomeRedirect.aspx page. In the MyHomeRedirect.aspx page, you would put a Page Redirector web part. qPageRedirector reads a list that contains two columns: User Name and URL. It will search the list for the entry with User Name equals to the current logged on user. If it finds it, it will redirect the user to the URL mapped to that user in the list.

The SharePoint list for the Page Redirector must contain these two fields:

• User Name

—

a user lookup field that defines the user.

• URL

—

a text field. It can contain relative or absolute URL

If your list uses different names for the fields, you must define the names in the

User Name Field Name and the URL Field Name property of the Page Redirector.

Here is the sample list:

USER NAME

Questdev\jsmith

Questdev\kbrown

URL

home/jsmith.aspx

home/kbrown.aspx

When jsmith logs in, it will redirect him to home/jsmith.aspx.

You can localize the title of the Page Redirector. You can define different Titles for different cultures using the Resource List and the Title Resource ID properties. You can use the Culture Selector web part to set the culture for the site. The Culture Selector web part will define the culture using the Culture HTTP parameter as shown in the following example: http://hostname/sites/sitename/default.aspx?Culture=en-US

Quick Apps for SharePoint

Localization Tab

The Localization Tab contains the following:

ELEMENT

Resource List

Title Resource ID

DESCRIPTION

Allows you to support a multi-lingual site. In a multi-lingual site, there are some settings, such as the web part, whose value can change depending on the current culture setting. The Resource List property defines the list that contains the string values for different cultures. The resource list must contain 3 columns:

• Resource ID — This field contains the identifier to refer to the string.

You can have multiple strings with the same Resource ID as long as their Culture value is different.

• Culture — This field contains the culture for the string. For the default culture, leave the Culture field blank.

• Value — This field contains the value for the string.

The Resource List property is an XML string in this format:

<Lists>

</Lists>

The Lists element can contain only one List element. The following are the attributes for the List element:

• SiteUrl — The URL to the site that contains the resource list. The URL can be absolute (http://...) or relative to the current page URL. This attribute is mandatory.

• ListName — The name of the resource List. The list name is case sensitive.

Allows you to support a multi-lingual site. The property defines the identifier of the string in the Resource List that is used as the text of the web part. The Resource ID and the current cultural setting (identified with the Culture HTTP parameter) are used to retrieve the string in the Resource

List. If the string with the given identifier and culture is not found, the default is used.
