SharePoint 2013: Edit Renditions button missing - sharepoint

I've seen tutorials that claim there is an "Edit Renditions" button, and/or a Design tab on the ribbon with the option to edit renditions. However, I do not see either of these options. Please see below. The first image is what I see. (Note: Ribbon is not shown, but there is no Design tab, only Browse, Files, and Library tabs.) The second and third images are what I should be seeing, according to this and this.

First, make sure you meet the prerequisites to use this feature.
Prerequisites include:
Enable publishing features at the site collection level and site level.
Enable BLOB cache for your web application.
Use an asset library to store your images.
Please check the above, make sure you have configured them all. After that, when you click an image from the asset library, it will show as the following:
If you edit an image from an asset library on a page, the below will be displayed:
More information about image renditions, you can refer to the article.

Is there any possibility to create custom widget for Azure hosted API Management?

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/new-azure-api-management-developer-portal-is-now-generally-available/
Extensibility—The portal comes built into every API Management instance (excluding the Consumption tier). If you wish to extend the portal’s core functionality (for example, create your own widgets to fetch data from other sources), fork the GitHub repository, implement the code changes, and self-host your own modified version of the portal.
Is it so that we can't do custom widgets on Azure hosted Developer portal? If so, then this is a backstep from the legacy portal as there we could write custom HTML and JS to get custom features.
I believe still there are couple of things you can do.
Home page
The default Home page is filled with dummy content. You can either remove the whole sections with the content or keep the structure and adjust the elements one by one. Replace the generated text and images with your own and make sure the links point to desired locations.
Layouts
Replace the automatically generated logo in the navigation bar with your own image.
Edit the content of the portal, customize the website's look, and publish the changes.
Please refer https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-howto-developer-portal-customize and let me know how it goes
You can submit a pull request to the repository.
If you create a custom widget and this will be useful for many users it can be included in the default set of widgets.

How to insert/add logo before the top navigation in SharePoint

Is there a way to insert/add logo before the top navigation in SharePoint ? Currently we have Home link and we want to replace it using a logo instead.
Thanks!
Assume you are talking about SharePoint online development. I suggest using command set in SharePoint Framework.
The Command Set is the only type of SharePoint Framework Extension for which you can configure icons.
When deploying Command Sets, you can choose whether their commands should be visible on:
The command bar (location: ClientSideExtension.ListViewCommandSet.CommandBar)
The context menu (location: ClientSideExtension.ListViewCommandSet.ContextMenu)
Both (location: ClientSideExtension.ListViewCommandSet)
You can use an external icon image or a base64-encoded image as your icon image.
References form here
Also, there is a third party option. it will be less work just to change a icon but also limited choice of icons which they've provided.
ShortPoint can customize SharePoint Global Navigation and allows you to utilize ShortPoint Icons in your navigation.
The result will be something like this. Reference here.
So depend on your need, SPFx will give you more freedom and Shortpoint will take less work.
As for SharePoint On-premises. I think these below links can help you.

The new extension is not visible in Store

I noticed that from December 1 published extensions are not visible on the page https://chrome.google.com/webstore/ and google after such indexing is visible? Could it be some sort of algorithm update?
Or is it a temporary error?
You may want to try Updating a web app's Chrome Web Store listing with these steps:
Open the web app script in the script editor.
Click Publish > Register in Chrome Web Store. Click Edit store item. This will bring up the Edit Item form you filled out during publication.
Make the changes you want to the description, graphic assets or other settings.
Click Publish changes.
Visit the Chrome Web Store developer dashboard to see the publication status of your web app. Note that the publication process can take up to an hour to finish. Once the "Status" column says "Published", your web app will be available in the store.
In addition to that, you may also check the possible reasons why your item may not be showing in search.
If any of the given links doesn't help, I suggest that you submit your issue.

Reduced functionality using forms authentication (FBA) in SharePoint

I’ve got a moss document centre website with FBA and AD authentication enabled. After creating a picture library I seem to have reduced functionality when accessing the site through the FBA URL.
I’ve compared the web.config files from each IIS website and they are the same (apart from added FBA information that's required).
Here's two pictures to illustrate what I mean.
This picture shows the options available in the picture library when accessing the website through AD authentication:
alt text http://www.abbeylegal.com/Downloads/2006-07-26/Ad%20Authentication.jpg
This picture shows the reduced options available in the picture library when accessing the website through FBA authentication:
alt text http://www.abbeylegal.com/Downloads/2006-07-26/FBA%20Authentication.jpg
Anyone else seen this behaviour? I find it really strange.
This functionality is by design. As per Microsoft:
When you configure a zone to use forms authentication, the Enable Client Integration box is cleared by default. If a zone is configured in this way, the following changes occur in functionality:
Support for remote interfaces is turned off. That includes WebDAV, SOAP, and Microsoft Office FrontPage remote procedure calls (RPC). Some functionality is not available, such as Web folders or the Web services for accessing content in that site.
Some toolbar items no longer appear:
New Document
Open in Outlook
Open In Windows Explorer
Export to Spreadsheet
Open with Database Program
Explorer View option is hidden.
Create an Access View option is hidden.
In picture libraries, the following functionality is removed:
Upload Multiple
Edit Picture
Download
Send To
On the Edit Control Block (ECB) menu, the drop-down menu that appears when you click - items in document libraries, the following items are removed:
Edit in Word
Edit in Excel
Edit in PowerPoint
Discuss
Connect To Outlook
In slide libraries the following functionality is removed:
Publish Slide
Send to PowerPoint
Also, syncing SharePoint data with Microsoft Office Outlook no longer works.
Form Authentication will reduce some functionality such as in document library. We won't see the new document, be able to edit it in the spreadsheet, be able to open it with Windows Explorer etc.
For that, we need to enable the feature called Client Integration in Authentication
Provider. After enabling that, we'll get all menu items.

Customizing Search Results Display in Sharepoint Services 3.0 Wiki

I'm looking at using a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 wiki as a metadata repository. We basically want a community-driven dictionary and for various reasons we're using Sharepoint instead of say MediaWiki.
What can I do to customize or completely replace searchresults.aspx?
Features I'd add if I knew how:
Automatically load the #1 hit if it is a 100% match to the search term
Show the first few lines of each result as a preview so users don't have to click through to bad results
Add a "Page doesn't exist, click here to create it" link in cases where there's not a 100% match
I've got Sharepoint Designer installed and it looks like I'll be able to use it to upload any custom .aspx files I create but I don't see that it will give me access to searchresults.aspx.
Note: Since I plan to access this search tool from an external site via URL parameters it should be fine to leave the existing searchresults.aspx unchanged and just load this solution as a complementary search option.
Yes, everything is possible but you will need to customize it a little bit.
I would recommend you to build a custom web part to display your results. Here is a nice article to start with: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms584220.aspx
