Re: InfoPath 2007 SharePoint Content Type - how to tell InfoPath which Forms Library the Content Type was chosen from if site was published from a Site Template

I have not found a solution so far. As you can see nobody here seems to know either :) I've stopped looking for the moment and decided to collect the data I need in another way. This is an adequate alternative solution for where I'm at with it right now, although I am sure I will need to revisit it when the process I'm designing progresses to a future stage. In my mind its a pretty obvious and basic requirement for InfoPath forms used as Content Types to be able to be submitted back to where they came from so hopefully an answer will turn up at some point. If you manage to get it working I would be very interested to hear about the solution you found. Good luck :)

I have the exact same problem. I can extract the template location for forms published to a form library to update the submit to location. However for forms publishes as Content Type forms this method does not work.

If you were able to resolve this issue please let me know.

Thanks!

OK, I put almost my whole request into the subject, hope somebody will understand what I'm asking and be able to help :) Please forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere, I have searched the net and this site in vain.

I have already managed to deal with InfoPath forms being submitted to a form library contained in any site generated by a Site Template by successfully implementing a 'submit with code' scenario to read the form's location. But now how do I do the same thing for a Content Type, given that the template for the Content Type is stored in a Form Library on the root site and the content type is being triggered by a 'managed' content type Form Library which is located on any one of a number of sites generated from a Site Template ....

The most obvious solution to me would be finding a way to somehow get the url of the site where the 'content type' option was clicked, which would mean I could continue to use the 'submit with code' option I have already resolved modified to suit. I already am able to make this work if I type in the site url manually, however I would like to be able to automate this somehow.

Please advise if there is a way to do this, or if there is an alternate way to tell a content type to dynamically be submitted back to the form library it was requested from.

In summary:

1. I have several content types in one Form Library.
2. The Form Library is held in a Site Template from which many sites can and will be created.
3. The url for the sites will be made from the root url + a field stored in a master list on the root site (all rows) plus a duplicate list (one row only) on the template site.
4. The InfoPath templates for the content types are stored on the root site
5. I need the form template for the selected content type to be submitted back to the library it was requested from without requiring the user to complete the URL.

Thanks in advance.
