Right click send to...

vnava

Does anyone know, or is it possible (as I am not a developer) to create or duplicate the ability of right clicking on a document file icon and sending a document to a WorkSite destination?

In the Windows XP environment a Word (Excel, PDF, etc) file on the OS desktop can be sent to a list of destinations such as mail recipients, document folders, additional hard drives, etc. I would like to know if it is possible to create this function where a user can send a closed Word file to a WorkSite folder (or database) without having to open the file in the native application and selecting "Save As". I am aware that the file can be saved with DeskSite/FileSite and the "drag and drop" method but the customer has asked if it would be possible to initiate the file --> import process just as quick as doing a right click --> send to.

I did discover that I could use the send to --> mail recipient with a WorkSite folder that had an (WorkSite Communication Server) email address associated with it but this imported the file as an email attachment and not as a seperate file.

If anyone has any suggestions or could state whether or not this hypothetical function is possible please let me know.

Thank you.

P.S. I did attempt to place a shortcut to a Oultook/WorkSite folder in the SendTo folder (C Smiley Very Happy

ocuments and Settings<username>SendTo) but the folder did not display when executing a right click --> send to.

If you want a Windows shell context menu (right-click) option to "Send to WorkSite" it will require custom programming. I haven't heard of an existing addin that supports this functionality. It can be done, no doubt, but you should find someone familiar with Windows Shell Extension Handlers (and, of course, WorkSite.)

Thank you Bruce for replying and shedding a little bit of light on how to begin this process.

vnava,

It can be done - I myself have done it for a client.

The easiest way is on the 'Send To' menu, but you will have to handle issues arising for document types that are not supported in WorkSite.

To put an 'Import into Worksite' menu item (or similar) on the right-click context menu in Explorer, you would need to have a pre-defined (or customisable) list of file types to allow, and then add relevant shell registry entries to each file type.
