Creating a Noticeboard using a Custom List 1

[NickLowe]

I'm new to SharePoint development and have been tasked with creating a noticeboard.

I've created one using a Custom List, but I'm stuck with trying to implement the following: -

1. When a user adds a new notice, the noticeboard should automatically display / record the user's display name.

2. Can pictures be displayed along with each item in the list rather than having to click a link using the Picture field ?

3. Can items be set for auto-deletion after a specified expiry period (e.g. after 30 days) ?

Other ideas of how to implement a noticeboard in SharePoint are most welcome.

I recommend to you the build in anncouments list and customize that.

For the user name, modify the view to include the "Created By" field. What nice about his also it will include a link to find out more about that person.

Yes pictures can be added by creating a field using Hyperlink/Picture. By doing so place pictures in a picture Libraries and when creating a new notice copy the address of the picture into the Picture field and it will display the picture on the listing.

Listings can not auto-delete however you can make an expire field and then that date passes the item will auto removed from the view.

Good Luck
