Hello NetSuite SCA developers,
I am given access to SCA site where I can edit HTML on some part of the page. I am not sure what this feature is, but to show the online editor, you just press Esc key. I am thinking that the "editable" part is defined through the main template which I don't have access to. I have experience with Site Builder but not SCA, so my questions are:
1. What is this feature called? I need the appropriate term when I talk to client.
2. How do I edit other sections (like header, footer) or possibly the full HTML of a page? Can an admin give me permission or would it take a technical person to edit the main template?
My goal is that I need to edit the menus and header but I could not. I will request it to the client but I don't know what to request since I don't have much idea how it is set up and how it works. If someone could enlighten me just the basics, that would be awesome!
P.S. SuiteCloud IDE would not be an option. We don't have access to full source code.
The feature name is 'Site Management Tool' SMT give you access & edit site when you press ctrl+esc key. But Remember it has so many limitation. I won't recommend it to use every where, Specially for menu structure.
With SMT allow you to add CMS areas, CMS area are Text area, Image Area, Merchandizing area and HTML area.
You will have some default CMS area on each pages,
<div class="home-cms-page-banner-bottom" data-cms-area="home_banner_1" data-cms-area-filters="path"></div>
Then only you can add above 4 area with 'Site Management Tool'.
You can not edit the Menu & header if it don't have CMS area added within code. To edit menu you need to check if it site has category or facets? if it has category based menu then you can edit it from back end.
Let me know if this explanation is good?

Have looked on here plenty but this is the first time I've asked a question, so please bear with me.
Within my SharePoint site collection, I have a list of links to other systems within the business - this list is hidden to all users apart from Admins. There is a department column, indicating the department each link belongs to. There are two filter columns in this list - one is "active", the other is "show in System Links".
On each departmental page, there is a Content by Query Web Part (CQWP) showing the list, filtering to show:
- Specific departmental links
- Only where active
Separately to this, there is another CQWP on the homepage of the site collection showing all those links that have "show in System Links" ticked.
What this allows me to do is if for some reason a system is offline for maintenance, I can change the "active" value in the list and all links will vanish (preventing users going to the external system). It also allows me to add prominence to a link on the homepage if it's of particular focus that day / week / month (i.e. link to HR system to book leave if there's a leave deadline coming up).
What I want to do is move the homepage System Links CQWP to under the Quick Links on the left hand side, so they appear on every page. I did this with no problems in 2010, by literally dragging and dropping in the visual view for the master page, but seem to be struggling in 2013.
I've tried following the advice here:
http://ramisharepointblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/how-to-add-custom-webpart-within.html
When I add these to the .html master file, I get an error message saying that I need to change the file extension of my HTML file to something else.
I get this message whether I copy and paste the code, or whether I use the button "insert web part". (Obviously doing this in SPD 2013)
When I do this, it seems to lose the reference to the .master file (or explode!)
As an alternative, I tried adding the code into the .master file, but of course I can't do this, as it won't let me move / edit / copy a .master file.
Any help in this would be MUCH appreciated, as I seem to be banging my head against a wall here.
On SharePoint 2013 you can not add the Web Parts to the master page the same way of 2010.
Please use the Design Manager -> Snippet Gallery.
In short:
You must wrap the Register tag with: <!--SPM: register tag -->
Like this:
<!--SPM:<%#Register Tagprefix="Publishing" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.WebControls" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"%>-->
You should wrap the opening tag of your Web Part with: <!--MS: tag -->
And the closing tag with: <!--ME: tag -->
The Web Part would look like this:
<!--MS:<asp:SiteMapDataSource ShowStartingNode="True" SiteMapProvider="SPNavigationProvider" ID="topSiteMap" runat="server" StartingNodeUrl="sid:1002">-->
…
<!--ME:</asp:SiteMapDataSource>-->
(Snippet Gallery will automatically create the tags in the right way and you can copy it to your master page.)
Possibly related to my question, have a look at the detailed answer given here: How to embed SharePoint 2013 webparts directly in aspx layout page as default webparts for that layout
I know this is an old question, but users get encouraged to search, and this is what came up, so I thought I'd help out fellow other users find an answer :P
The question is in the subject, but understand when I sign in I always want to see these features.
There is also another huge security issue with anonymous visitors in sharepoint , the settings wheel at the top right lets you go to site contents, and lets you see all items with peoples names when they checked in and etc, very odd that all options are hidden except that one.
Thank you for your time in advance.

You can use SPSecurityTrimmedControl tag to hide desired options from the ribbon to only specific permission levels. Simply surround that part of the ribbon with this tag which you want to hide.
You can view below given link for more details about SPSecurityTrimmedControl and its usage.

Cheers.
First off, please bear with me. My question concerns more specifically with custom lists, custom code inside Sharepoint 2007. My experience is more with applications that work outside but access data (Client Object Model) in Sharepoint 2010.
At work I was recently tasked with the following request:
Create a custom announcement board where everyone can create an announcement but only admins and creators can edit it.
The main list page was going to provide a summary of the details, title and an icon that depicts the type of announcement (gif of a baby if birth announcement).
Upon clicking on an announcement, a detailed page containing more detail of the announcement and up to 4 pictures will be displayed.
When entering data the pictures can only be a maximum size.
Here is how I was going to attack this. I was going to create a Custom List that allowed for the addition of Picture columns and all the other columns I required. I would then modify the NewForm, EditForm and DispForm pages to meet our requirements. Picture size would be controlled through Javascript of Jquery on the page. My question to you experts out there is does this sound feasible? Is there a better way?
Thank you for any help
I wouldn't edit the list forms - not in this case at least. One way you could build this would be as a publishing site. You can create custom page layouts to suit the design of the announcements. There would be a bit of work to build it into a polished solution. Depends on how far you want to go.
I'm just tasked by my boss to create a Sharepoint solution for the scenerio below.
(I'm a total newbie to Sharepoint. So please forgive me if i use the terminology wrong)
The portal should open in a custom look than the default Sharepoint design and it should have links to the products. Every product page should have different look and feel but have same types of content. For example every product should have Published Materials list but with different set of content.
So, an example of the desired map is like this:
/Home
-Latest News
-Core Team List
-Products
-Product 1
-Product 2
-Product 3
I found Sharepoint a whole new and strange world. I thought i'm good at learning, until i met Sharepoint. Everything seems very detailed and i'm living difficulties in finding useful information quickly. Because i have no Sharepoint background and i don't event know what i'm lookin' for.
Could you please help me by telling me how can i accomplish this or even just telling me the name of "thing" that i'm trying to accomplish.
Thank you in advance.
PS. Oh, by the way, I learned the word Branding in my search for the holy grail. I don't even know that the word fits or not...
I did try the method you post on other page (Restaurant review site in SharePoint) but unfortunately i couldn't succeed. I stucked at choosing what type of content type in the "Create Content Type" page at first and then tried some parent types but i couldn't get it show up in Sharepoint Designer 2007's New Sharepoint Content "Publishing Page" dialog.
So i tried something else.
At my homepage created a new Document Library of type "Web Part Page" called "Products". It created me a some sort of list whose all items are web pages. At this point i felt that i'm near to accomplish something at last.
Here are some questions i've collected: :)
I add two Announcements web part to different "Products" pages. When I add a new announcement to the list from one product page, it shows up in the other one too! How can I make their content only visible in page that the content created on?
*[Theming is a recurring theme in my posts]* Is it possible to change the view of each Product page at this setup so they have different design and color?
Thanks.

Given you're looking for 'branding' that will mean a custom Master Page. A Master Page is what will determine the overall layout of your SharePoint Web Application's pages. After creating a standard SharePoint application, connect with SharePoint Designer and play with that Master Page for a while until you get the hang of it.
In modifying or creating custom Master Pages, it is important to take note of all the controls (special ASP.NET server-side tags) in particular Content Place Holders; if you create your own Master Page and these are missing you're in a world of uninformative-error-message hurt.
You're going to want to create Lists ( http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointtechnology/HA011199881033.aspx ) to represent 'News' and 'Products'... for Products you may even want to create a Content Type.
Once you create 'News' and 'Products' lists, to see those lists of Products you'll want to make views and use List View Web Parts ( http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA100240521033.aspx ) to include those views in Pages... but at the subject of Web Parts this is probably getting a bit overwhelming so I'll stop here. Comment me if you'd like more.
Addendum
"Is is possible to show only categories of a document library in home page and documents of the selected category in another page?"
-> Yes, and there are several ways. I'd suggest you look into either defining a View for that list which filters based on the category field, then add List View Web Parts to your home page, or writing custom XSLT for the Content Query Web Part, and then add it to your home page. Writing the XSLT for he Content Query web part is a little more difficult, but using the List View has it's short comings in being not-as-configurable, much like this guy is finding out: No-code solution for calendar view of SharePoint news items
"But how can i change a list item to show its details as a whole new page with its own web parts and theme?"
-> Here's the kicker; in SharePoint, each Site you create has a special list for Pages, and each Page actually belongs to a Content Type.
So you can take any content type and turn it into a page; all you have to do is create a Page Layout for it, and add that Content Type to the list.
(So, an example. This is purely speculative; I'm not saying do this specifically, and you probably can't do it exactly as I describe it as I'm oversimplifying a little)
You create a Content Type 'Product', but you also decide 'Category' should be a Content Type too. So you create a content type for 'Catagory', and you give it a lookup column, which refers to items in the 'Product' List. You specify that the lookup can contain multiple items.
Now you want a Page where people can see a category, and all the Products which belong to it. You create a 'Page Layout' (an aspx file) for the 'Catagory' Content Type. In the Page Layout aspx file you can include web controls which render the Catagory's fields, such as 'title' and 'description' and you can probably even add one to render the 'Products' lookup field. (maybe you'll have to code it yourself)
I hope I haven't lost you.
Now that you've created a Page Layout for 'Catagory' you can add 'Catagory' to the Pages list/library and then create pages which represent Catagories, and when people edit those pages, they will also edit the Catagory.
More Addendum
If "Announcements" is a list, the web part you added was a list view web part, and so it just shows the contents of the list (which is independent of the product pages)
You'll want o specify filters of your view. I dunno if you can specify unique filters on the web part... but you can try :)
You might want to consider looking into The Content Query Web Part.
I don't fully understand your second question, but I get the feeling the answer is yes... what do you mean by "view"? You gotta be careful with the lingo; do you mean the Page Layout? or the List View Web Part? or the List View? or the Master Page? ...

A good start would be using Sharepoint Designer.
Use SharePoint Designer to do your CSS work, particularly in discovering the CSS rules in play. DO NOT publish the finished work from SD; if you do, future Windows Updates may wipe out your files. Instead, deploy your customizations as a Feature. In MOSS 2007, you can add a single custom CSS file using Central Admin - this will then be applied AFTER core.CSS at runtime, To the best of my knowledge, this is the only practical way of doing this.
You need to indicate whether you are using WSS or MOSS. With WSS, you can use themes.
I want to hide or make some fields read only on editform.aspx. I follwed the example on this page, but without deliting the "original" webpart list. I hide the original webpart and created a new custom list from the original list. Then i was able to apply xsl on the custom list to hide or to make the field "read only". Unfortunately the recurring events stopped working or where totaly messed up. Some times i've got error messages when I clicked on specific event in calendar view. The calendar list works fine and the fields are hidden or disabled in "Edit mode" when the event is not recurring. My question is. Is there any other way to hide or disable the items for specific security group or sharepoint group on calendar list?
If SharePoint Designer is an option, then this blog post from Laura Rogers shows how you can display SharePoint fields by permission level. It should work with a calendar list.
This will give you complete control over the solution without the need for a third-party product.
Two tools I've run across to do what you're looking for:
SPListDisplaySetting - "SharePoint feature (for WSS 3.0 and MOSS) providing advanced settings to customize list form rendering in new, display and edit mode."
You can specify that certain fields only show up on edit, new, or display pages and only for certain groups, or to hide them completely.
My only problem with this is that the installer doesn't quite work. However, a user has posted working instructions on the discussion board.
SharePoint Tool Basket - List Columns Manager - "This feature allows site collection administrators to view all the columns of a list including hidden/read-only ones and gives column details such as the internal name, Guid, Type.."
I found a pretty nice solution at Cleverworkarounds. The code is writen in javascript so the script does not actually remove the fields, which in my case is necessery, but it does hide the fields. Me, I need to stick to SharePoint List Form Extensions due to some sensitive data our customers have and want to be remove for some users. Laura Rogers solutions is good too, but with Cleverworkarounds you don't need to use Sharepoint Designer.
One option is to download the Sharepoint Manager from CodePlex. Install it on the server (it uses the object model) and you get simple access to a whole heap of stuff including, on a per-field-per-list basis, whether a specific column is hidden in it's entirety (even from the list settings), or hidden from the display form, the edit form or both. It's a matter of setting a true/false dropdown and clicking save. There is also the option for making columns readonly too.
It's all or nothing in terms of permissions though - whatever you choose applies to everyone who can access that area.
You can hide items in the calendar list using JQuery. Please follow the steps below:
- From the Calendar tab Customize List category select -> Form Web Parts -> Default New Form
- Select the Insert tab and from Web Parts category -> click Web Part.
- Choose Media and Content, then choose Content Editor and click Add.
- Place the Content Editor below your form and click inside the Content Editor
- Click on Format Text tab -> Markup category -> Click on HTML -> Edit HTML Source
Add the following code:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function() {
$("td.ms-dttimeinput").hide();
$("span[title='All Day Event'] > input").attr("checked","checked");
$("tr:has(span[title='Recurrence'])").not("tr:has(tr)").hide();
$("tr:has(span[title='All Day Event'])").not("tr:has(tr)").hide();
$("tr:has(span[title='Workspace'])").not("tr:has(tr)").hide();
});
</script>
The above code also puts the "All Day Event" to be checked true.
Hope this would be useful ..
I think it is little bit hard to do that. Otherwise there should be not so much such third party tools like SharePoint Column View Permission, Bamboo also has such tool.
Take a look at this if you want make it happen through code stackoverflow.com/questions/1058232. But I am not sure it works in calender.
