SharePoint Lists

Hello All,

I see documentation and job settings mention about SharePoint site, subsite, library and file.

I have a List named IKGeneralFAQ on a SP2010 instance. 
(http://iknowtest/Lists/IKGeneralFAQ/AllItems.aspx)

I tried manually setting Path Rules using 'Add Text' button, but it does not working.

/IKGeneralFAQ/* 	file 	        include
/Lists/IKGeneralFAQ 	library 	include
/Lists/IKGeneralFAQ/* 	library 	include
/IKGeneralFAQ 		library 	include
/Lists/IKGeneralFAQ/* 	file 	        include

Can I use MCF to crawl SharePoint Lists?

Thanks,
Ahmet

I've committed what I think will implement Lists fully into
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/manifoldcf/branches/CONNECTORS-497.
Please let me know what works and what doesn't.

Thanks!
Karl

I've created a ticket (CONNECTORS-497) that covers adding list support
to the SharePoint connector.  But I'm still not clear what we'd
include instead of a document.  It seems that the choices are:

- A blank document
- Use the contents of a specific field as the document contents

Can you update the ticket to describe what you'd like to see for this?

Only metadata columns. There is no file.

Hi Ahmet,

Is there a document associated with each row in the list?  Or is it
only metadata?

Hi Karl,

I was reading this : 

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd490727%28v=office.12%29.aspx

It seems that Lists and Libraries are similar to each other.

My target List contains following (ID, IKFAQPageID, IKFAQPage, Title, IKFAQAnswer) attributes. I want to index those values. It looks like an excel spread sheet.

Hi Ahmet,

At the moment the only entity the SharePoint connector knows how to
index are documents in Libraries.  If you can provide a description of
what kind of SharePoint content you want to index out of a SharePoint
List, and how Lists relate to Sites and Libraries, then we can discuss
adding that ability.
