Hides an existing action that is implemented by default within the framework of Windows SharePoint Services Features, or within another custom action. Note that HideCustomAction IDs are not limited to specific default SharePoint Foundation custom actions. You can also hide custom actions that you create yourself when you write your own features. This means that for any CustomAction ID available in SharePoint Foundation, you can have a corresponding HideCustomAction ID.

Add a banner to SharePoint 2010 | BFC Networks. One of my most popular blogs is Adding a Banner to your SharePoint but is for SharePoint 2007. Here is how to do it for SharePoint 2010. Banner Image You need to create a banner at the top of the page. The image by default is replicated so I have created a large wide image which is 2500px by 100px you won’t see the replication. Building the CSS We need to create our own CSS file which will be uploaded with the banner image into the same folder. On your desktop create a new file and call it newcss.css. .s4-title { background:#F9F9F9 url('/SiteAssets/banner.jpg') repeat-x 0px 0px; margin:0; min-height:121px; overflow-x:hidden; padding:30px 0 0 310px; word-wrap:break-word; Reference CSS in V4 Master Page As mentioned above we need to tell SharePoint to load the new CSS file.

Go to Site Actions and Site Settings. We are going to add a line of code that will load the new CSS file. All we need to do now is upload the CSS file and the banner image. Upload the CSS and banner image into this library. Calendar Colour Coding in SharePoint - Orbit One Blog. It’s nice to have SharePoint calendar entries colour-coded depending on their category, location, or other metadata.

In this post you will find an overview of different approaches for colour coding, applicable to SharePoint 2010 and 2007, with their advantages, difficulties and limitations. Calendar overlay Calendar overlay is a new feature of SharePoint 2010. Basically it is used to display several calendars in one view. As indicated by Jennifer Mason, it’s possible to overlay different views of the same calendar – this helps to display colour-coded events in one calendar.

First, you have to prepare views, one per colour. Make one more view in which you will overlay all others. Open this view and start overlaying. Add each of colour-coded views by clicking New Calendar link. Configure each overlaid view, select the colour, the calendar and the view: Using HTML in calculated columns Using more than ten colours is not advised by usability - too much information is just a noise. Step 1. Voila:

How to change the values of 'Created By' and 'Modified By' fields in SharePoint list? Each SharePoint list by default has these fields 'Created By' and 'Modified By'. The type of these fields is "Person or Group". Whenever a new list item is added, the value of the 'Created By' column is automatically set to the LoginName of current user. And whenever a list item is modified, the value of the 'Modified By' column is automatically set to the LoginName of current user. So if one need to modify the values of these fields, I did not find any work flows or any UI screen in the SharePoint yet.

Now the question is "why the hell one need to modify the values of these fields? ". The answer can be found in the "Advanced Settings" section of a SharePoint list. One can see, there is a 'Edit own items' permission which means a user can edit all list items which he/she has created, that is very nice and useful feature. I was just stuck with this problem, but finally found a solution.

User Interface Design Software. Announcements “Gotchas” On SharePoint 2010 Site Pages | Views from Veronique. In SharePoint 2010 site pages, the Announcements web part is not a default web part on the landing page like it is in 2007. It has however been created, look under All Site Content. To insert the web part, edit the page. Then insert the Announcements web part into the page. Don’t delete the default welcome message while the page is still in edit mode. If you do that, then save the page, the whole web part is deleted and you have to re-insert it. So rather delete the default message after you’ve saved the page. Gotcha 2 It should be part of your site governance that you always put an expiry date on your item so that when the event / news passes, the announcement no longer displays on the landing page.

However, the expiry date will not work in the default view that the Announcements web part is inserted in. But it doesn’t. In order for the expiry date to work, you need to change the default view of the web part. Edit the page again, and modify the web part.

As those of you who know me personally will be aware two of my passions are technology and data!

During the last week I have been very busy making sure all our systems will be ready with Windows 7 installed throughout the site and three refurbished computer rooms (two of which the contractor still hasn’t finished).

Even more demanding should have been organising the A-level and GCSE download days which I am in charge of. For those of you that do not know download days are on a Wednesday the day before results day when schools have 24 hours to download and prepare the data to share with students and staff. Now I said they should have been demanding days and indeed when I joined three years ago they were.

Guest post by Chris Mckinley- Senior SQL/SharePoint Developer An occasional day in the Systems Office at Twynham School The System’s phone rings… “Hello IT.”

“The system has lost all my files!” “Where we’re your files stored?” “On the Gateway” “OK, do you know where on the Gateway?” “Oh! “Where did you last see the files?” ”In the revision resources section on the History gateway” “OK, one second… I’m just looking now…I can see about 10 files there” “Yes, it’s the one called ‘important course material 101′” “I can see the file on my screen here” “Yes yes, but it’s blank when you open it” “OK…Click, click, click…Right can you open it again” “Ah it’s back now” “I just restored a previous version. “Humm, yes well, thanks” This typical scenario can occur in any organisation.

How many schools are now s ending text messages to parents? This seems to be a growing trend within schools largely to inform parents of absence. For me the real power of text messages is not only in absence reporting but in updating parents on other key information such as reports being sent home or a parents evening. Twynham School currently has an SMS solution which we have used but this is not in SharePoint. Over the last 3 months we have been looking at what options exist for integrating text messaging and in my email inbox today could be the answer.

S P Web parts contacted me to announce that they had created an SMS solution which runs through SharePoint. The cost for one of their products (they also offer email and word solutions) is £520 and it may be an ideal product to add further customisation to your SharePoint set up. I have contacted Paul from S P Web parts and chatted through what the product does and we will hopefully trial the product and let you know our thoughts.

SharePoint in Education - Mike Herrity's Blog about SharePoint in Education. Over the last two days we have been talking about producing online content to support and engage students. Having produced a working GCSE Revision Gateway and spent time talking with 30+ students about design was this enough to ensure success? At this stage we needed to identify if students were using the sites we set up and what they thought about them.

One of the best ways to find out what students think about absolutely anything is to set up a SharePoint Survey. In SharePoint 2007 there is a great survey function which we use extensively to get feedback from staff and students at Twynham School. I will not spend any time going through how you make a survey as this has been done elsewhere. As a reference take a look at the brilliant blog piece by S.S. Ahmed here which gives an excellent step by step of the process. What I want to focus on here is what we wanted to find out and what our students told us? Here is a slide deck I used with staff to show them the results of the survey.

By Ryan Keller By now you've probably been working with SharePoint 2010 and enjoying some of the new features. After all, some great advancements have been made in both the administrative and end-user aspects of SharePoint this go-around. But with some of those advancements come a few quirks that take some getting used to. This article discusses one of the quirks end users might run across when building a page using Web parts, and an easy workaround to solve it. Let's say you've got a finely tuned Content Query Web part that you've dropped in the Page Content control.

After you've been working on the page for a while you decide you would like to move the Web part on the page and move it into a Web zone, so you can use the Page Content control for something else. For reasons unknown, you cannot move Web parts from the Page Content area to a Web zone (and vice versa). By using a simple export/import process, you will once again have complete control over the Web parts on your page.
