How to Display File Extensions in a SharePoint Document Library

There are 2 ways to show file extensions in a SharePoint document library


Method1:
  • Convert the document library List View web part to a XSLT dataview
  • Open the document library with FrontPage,
  • Right click and convert to DataView.
  • Modify the XSLT to add select=”@File_x0020_Type”/>
This solution can be seen in context by clicking here.

Method2:
  • Modify the display pattern in ONET.XML
  • Add
  • Name=”File_x0020_Type”/>
  • Before
  • Name=”Created_x0020_Date”>.
After making a change to ONET.XML you have to do IISRESET.

    I was looking to create an article for this but I can see that Pratik had the same idea.  I've added the "From Forum" tag as per forum inspired posts.
