Preventing User’s from Changing the Auto Generated ShortUrl Name when creating ShortUrl’s

Below describes how to enforce the automatically generated ShortUrl Name to be used by creators. Users cannot Change the ShortUrl unless they establish direct access to the ShortUrl List.

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\ShortUrl

2. Before any changes are made make a Backup Copy of the Default.aspx file.

3. Open and edit Default.aspx;

Locate Existing:

<asp:TextBox ID=”txt_UserShorUrl” runat=”server” class=”ms-formdescription” ></asp:TextBox>

Add: readonly=”True”

Full Replaced Code for Existing:

<asp:TextBox ID=”txt_UserShorUrl” runat=”server” class=”ms-formdescription” readonly=”True” ></asp:TextBox>
