List, display form, change link

Question

I've been banging my head against the wall trying to get my project "dashboard" to work.

Currently i´ve got one list for my projects, one list for all project tasks and one site page with presentation about the project, project information and its tasks.

What im trying to accomplish is when the projectname is clicked my new site page containing information about the selected project and its tasks is loaded.

Now its opening the view form dialog. I dont want to replace all functionality such as edit dialog or view dialog in dropdown menu just change the project name link.

Hope you can help me with this!

Thanks!

Answer 1

Use a custom action on your list either via SharePoint designer (simplest - not too much control), see here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh500259.aspx#odc_sp14_ta_AddCustomActiontoDisplay_CreatingCustomActionSharePointDesigner

or more complex, but full control http://www.nearinfinity.com/blogs/joe_ferner/how_to_add_a_custom_action_to.html

This should offer the opportunity to call in directly to that action!
