SharePoint HomePage is downloading the url instead of opening it up.
I created a list of links that I want my SharePoint modern site to navigate to when I visit the site/homepage. The list of links also resides on the SharePoint site. However, when I click my homepage...
I created the link list by clicking New > App and then found the list of links app.
I really wanted to just get people to go to the list of links from going to the HomePage. If I use text or the quick links, it just seems like they're jumping through an extra hoop to get to the list of links.
I'm confused, what is it your actually trying to do? Trying to keep them from going to the homepage to access these links?
It seems to me you are creating a link in a list/doc library. which ends up to a link in it. When you click it starts downloading the page instead of opening it.
I must say i do reconize this behaivor as in it downloads the URL instead of opening.
Especially using search. This is as far as i know default behavior
- I want the landing page to the website to be a list of links to a specific set of document libraries on the SharePoint. So the idea is that when they're navigating the site, they'll go to the homepage which will redirect them to a list of links.
- I still don't understand why you are skipping the home page of the site when you can just make your homepage a page with links, quick links, hero web part of links etc. etc. ?
- You're right - I could, but I just wanted a simple list with maybe a description attached without images. Hero Pages have images, Quick Links have images. I just thought using a list of links was the most elegant solution to doing this.
