How can I store the favorite links of a user in SharePoint 2010?

Question

I have a task that to allow a user to add his favorite links of any website and then they are stored in SharePoint. Then they will be shown in a panel called "My Bookmarks".

I have a solution that creates a list for all users with a "CreatedBy" field but I think it is slow to load. Do you have any solution, a custom solution or a OOTB solution?

Answer 1

you could use the 'links' list that is ootb. if you are wanting something that is cross sites , and collections you will need to create a custom webpart. with that you will need to either hit a sql table or sp list.... for example -> id, userid, sitename, url. so you'll have to get the currently logged in user. so something like -> select * from tableName where @currentUser = userid......
