I wonder if there is a way to put a list and some text(rich text) in a web part.
I'm putting multiple web parts in a web part page, and there's some description of the list. If I insert another content editor web part above my list web part, the page looks fragmented and the user won't relate two web parts together.
I understand there's no way to put a web part into another. Any suggestion about what I can do about it?
Try using blank page. not a webpart page.
You can insert rich text on it at the same time you can insert webparts.

I want to customize the SharePoint 2013 online(office 365) "About me" linked page (personimmersive.aspx) to a custom look and feel.
Even clicking on any SPUser name, for ex in a list item modified by is "John Smith" if we click on it goes to about me page.
This page resides under mysite but I cannot see this page is SharePoint 2013 designer to edit, but modifying SharePoint pages in designer is not always the best way.
Can I just create a new page and redirect all Profile page request to that custom page?
IF I create app parts and edit the page I cannot edit the top portion of the page.
redirecting may not be a feasible approach, specially on the online versions
you can try to take advantage of web parts and css to do what you can
The biggest change is that you can’t edit the entire top portion of
the page. These used to be in a web part zone, and you could choose to
add/remove the web parts. Now they are fixed, with no ability to move
them around or change the parts.
We had removed the Activity Feed web part previously because we were
using Yammer newsfeeds and group feeds embedded throughout the site,
and this part always showed “No activities”. Now this is back again,
with no way to remove it, short of editing the page in SharePoint
Designer.
There are still web part zones on the bottom, but really the problem
is no control over the display of most of the top of the page.

There is personImmersive.aspx in SharePoint Designer, you should be able to find it in All Files. Just make sure you connect to [your_domain]-my.sharepoint.com instead of [your_domain].sharepoint.com.
you can't customize the page completely.However you can add custom web part and custom css to change the look and feel to a great extent.
#tiago duarte you can still remove the activity web part.This can be done using script editor webpart and hiding the complete block/div.
I'm using OOTB Table Of Content web part. However, the structure that it displays slightly differs from the one I need to show. I need to hide several node + render some additional. I though that I could take advantage of the control that is used that Table Of Content web part (if there's one). Is it possible to achieve?
Thanks
I think you should use Content Query Web Part or you can create a new web part using OOTB toc web part as a base and render it on your own. You can do additional operations that way as well.
Want to know how from a Visual web part on one content page posting form data to another visual web part on another sharepoint content page.
Scenario:
Sharepoint 2010 content page (Search page)
We have a SEARCH visual webpart on one page where user search for nearly 1000 parts information separated by comma separated values.
Sharepoint 2010 content page (Result page)
I have a ResultGridView visual webpart on this result content page where i need to show result.
Question:
Other than maintaining the searched Data in SESSION object what else approach can you recommend?
How to pass the search data from one visual webpart to another visual webpart on another content page?
As you're working in a web environment there is not much you can do besides storing stuff in the user's session object or via web services.
SharePoint supports the "Send to" other webpart functionality where you can send data from one WebPart to another, but on one page. For your scenario you are talking about sending data from WebPart1 on searchpage.aspx to WebPart2 on someotherpage.aspx. There is no simple method for that.
You either would have to implement a webservice so that WebPart2 can query that webservice for information or store the user's selection on the searchpage in his session or maybe even the cookie.
You should not use SESSION for this purpose. Your best bet is the Query string parameters.
Let the one web part redirect to another page with specific query string values which can be read by second web part. Ofcourse, this method is not valid in sensitive scenarios.
You might have to reconsider the design of the solution.
You can write a restfull webservice in order to be secured if you are using Query string.
Or push the results in another list and from that list create a visual webpart.
Is it possible to put a Content Editor Web Part in a sharepoint app page along with the ability to edit the web parts contents from the browser? In other words have it behave as it would on a web part page.
I can get the web part to show but I have no clue if it can be setup for in browser editing on the application page ... I can't get it to show the edit button.

You can put a Content Editor WebPart on an application page because it's just a special kind of web control, but there is no web part manager on the page and even if you added one it would not have a record in a content database for the page. So it would not know where to store the information.
I am stuck with a problem. I am having tool part where I get all the Lists present in the Site.
I have other web part which should get the selected List in the tool part.
I see that the web part is loaded first then the tool part. so the web part is unable to the List selected in the tool part.
Please note that the text box is in a User Control.
Please help me.
I have looked at your code and found the following:
First things first. You need to move AWAY from using ToolParts and the SharePoint native webpart. they are deprecated and are a remnant from SPS2003. In MOSS / WSS 3.0 you can and should use the ASP.NET WebPart.
Secondly, I think you are mixing things up. The ToolPartGetLists is not a toolpart, it is a webpart, that in itself loads the CustomToolPart, which in turn allows you to select a list.
This toolpart is only shown when you edit the shared webpart in the UI. The list you select is then persisted to the SelectedList property of the webpart using the toolpart.
The connected webpart then tries to read the SelectedList property I guess.
Like I said, I could go and try to fix the code for you, but it is not the way to go, you really (REALLY) need to switch to ASP.NET WebPart based webparts. The native sharepoint one WILL be fased out in the (near) future.
Here you can find an example, with code! (scroll to bottom for download link). As a bonus, it uses the built in sharepoint listpicker
I don't know of any way you could control the load order of elements (web parts) on the same page.
Sounds more like you want to have your second web part (the display of the lists) have a "default" when the page loads--which could be empty. Then it would be changed to the selected list only when the user clicked a new selection in the other web part (the list of lists).
