Creating Page Layout Preview Images

Posted February 21, 2012 By Kevin Bennett

Images are located in en-us/PreviewImages from the Master Page Library. Edit a current PNG image in the en-us/en-us/Preview Images Directory (I edited BlankWebPartPage to get a starting one). Upload to this directory, check-in and approve

On your parent site go to Site Actions –> Site Settings –> Master Pages and page Layouts under Galleries

You can associate a custom Template with an image by adding the address of the png image to the Preview Image Fields in the Edit Page Properties.

Make sure you change the http to https if you are on a secure site (or you will get the unsecure pop-up which is very annoying)

Hiding Title in an Announcement Webpart

Posted February 8, 2012 By Kevin Bennett

A bit of a cleanup on the page, but did have a request to remove the Title at the top of the Announcement Webpart. This is how I did that.

Created the Script in my Site Assets –> Scripts, Called HideTitle.js

Entered following text in it

[code]

<script type=”text/javascript”>

document.write(‘<style>TR.ms-viewheadertr { DISPLAY: none }</style>’);

</script>

[/code]

 

Added a content Editor Webpart which called above script by name

Calling out Custom CSS on a page

Posted February 1, 2012 By Kevin Bennett

In Customizing Sharepoint I needed to call some custom CSS. In this case I needed to put a banner across the top and a custom logo.

The easiest way I found to do this is to create some CSS for the banner which would be

[code]

.s4-title {
    background: url(‘Style Library/Custom Images/New_bgrnd.png’) no-repeat scroll right top;
    margin: 0;
    }

[/code]

 

But aside from adding this to a new Content Editor Webpart (which I did for testing) on each page I wanted to call it from a custom CSS file. To accomplish this I added the following to a copy of v4.master (because we are that lame and still use v4 out of the box). I put this in the Header Section of New_v4.master

[code]

<SharePoint:CssRegistration name=”/Style Library/Custom CSS/New_Custom.css” After=”corev4.css” runat=”server”/>

[/code]

Of course I had to create the new Folder under style library called Custom CSS (this is also what I did with the images by creating a custom images folder).

Save, checkin and publish all.

Next change your Master page to New_v4.Master in Site Settings –> Master Page to the New_v4.master
