HOWTO: change the home button text on the top link bar in sharepoint 2010

Hi All, I got a requirement that the title of the site collection which shows the first button on the top link bar to be different from the title. for example: my sharepoint site title is " Srikanth SharePoint Blog" and I need to show"Home" on the top link bar. It shows Home when the publishing features are not enabled. But once the publishing features are enabled it shows the same as the title("srikanth sharepoint blog" in my case instead of "Home").In other blogs I saw the solution as "in SITE ACTIONS>SITE SETTINGS>LOOK AND FEEL> TOP LINK BAR" , but once the publishing features are enabled, you don't see the "TOP LINK BAR" under "LOOK AND FEEL"(ofcourse it is changed to "NAVIGATION" , when publishing features are enabled). In this case : 1. Hide the initial button by adding code in css.    .s4-tn li.static > a{ display: none !important; } .s4-tn li.static > ul a{ display: bloc

Sharepoint 2010 Subsites webpart

This posting was originally made by Arild Aarnes and it is in here . This is a simple webpart to show a list (with links) of subsites immediately below the current site. This webpart will work on both Sharepoint 2010 and Sharepoint Foundation. On Sharepoint 2010 you could have used the built in “Table of Contents” webpart to do similar things but this one can also display the list as a dropdown list to save space on the webpage and it can open links in a new window. All the settings can by edited in the webpart configuration panel. The settings are: Show bullet in list – this will display the small square gif in front of the site name Open link in new window – this will open the subsite in a new window Show Site Description – this will show the description you entered when you created the subsite Show icon – Shows a icon for the type of subsite, see picture. Show as dropdown list – Will display the subsites in a dropdown box to save space. The webpart can be downl

The Text Filter Web Part – Without Having To Filter Exact Text

This posting I took it from  Here   This applies to both SharePoint 2007 and 2010.  In MOSS Enterprise, and the 2010 version of Enterprise.  There is an out-of-box web part called the Text Filter Web Part .  Basically, when you put this web part on a page, and put a list or library web part on the same page, you then create a web part connection that sends the text typed in the box as a filter to one of the columns in the web part, like this: The name Molly Clark had to be typed in exactly.  So, if you typed “Molly”, this record would not come up.  People use the text filter web part when they just want to search a single column in a list or library.  Otherwise, you’d simply use the “Search” box at the top of the screen, choose “This List” or “This Site” and perform SharePoint searches that way. One more note before I get into today’s solution: If you’re making use of site columns in your lists, there’s a setting where you can specifically select which columns you do N

Handling the Name.dll ActiveX Control for a sharepoint 2010 site

When displaying Internet-facing publishing sites, Internet Explorer browsers display an annoying message when they do not have the SharePoint 2010 server added to their trusted sites list. This message asks the user to add the Name.dll ActiveX Control. Typically, this control is not used by anonymous users of SharePoint and the request to load it can be quite alienating to users who are not familiar with SharePoint. You can turn off the message on the General Settings page of the Manage Web Applications section of Central Administration . Set Enable Person Name smart tag and Online Status for members to No . You can suppress the message by adding ECMAScript (JavaScript, JScript) code to the master page. The starter master page includes the following JavaScript code, which will hide the message. <script type= "text/javascript" > function ProcessImn(){} function ProcessImnMarkers () {} </script>
