SharePoint blog with attachment capability workaround
24 November 2011
By default there are not any settings in sharepoint to enable attachments with blog posts. It is not a perfect way to do this, but worth to mention on my blog I think.
I have done a workaround to achieve this
- Create a custom list inherited form Item with default columns.
- Create new item “give it a title” and attach your document with it.
- Now in your post list create a lookup column with the title “Attachment” which will look up to the “Title” column of your custom list.
- Edit the view of you posts web part on the blog main page and enable it to display the lookup field. You can now see the attachment in the footer.
I hope this blogs helps J
