Get listitems from Current Site

I am trying to create a Page Layout, that should have a lookup field. Lookup field should always get populated with a list's items.

This list will exist in all subsites, so whereever I create this page, list should get populated with listitems from current site.

I tried using site column lookup field, but it always point to list under top site and not the current site.

Any suggestion on how to make it work or better alternative? Thanks!

Let me know if I can provide more info.

Solution

  • The most straightforward solution I can think of is using a cross site lookup column and creating a seperate fields for each subsite. However, you will need to create and use different Page Layouts for each subsite.

    You can use http://sp2010filteredlookup.codeplex.com/ for cross site lookups.
