Today I have gone thru a very good example of auto redirection.
I was doing some routine exercise on a custom list and converted it to XSLT
view in SharePoint Designer to customize it. For safety I took couple of copied
of AllItems.aspx page and started customizing default one. For some reason I did
not like customization and I deleted the original AllItems.aspx and renamed the
copied one.
Issue:
Now when I go to List Settings from browser and click on the
list name in bread crumb it redirected me to Web Portal.
(I went to list settings to delete the list, but suddenly I
found I was deleting something wrong J) this was more than
shocking to me as I missed to make necessary changes.
Resolution:
This was really small and easy change I made, went to
SharePoint Designer > Browsed to List > Right Clicked on Properties > Supporting
Files > Default view Page.
Make sure it displays “AllItems.aspx” page, in my case it
was blank.
