I am designing a page in sharepoint online and I want to display the current user name in text on the page. Is there a tool that MS has built that will do this? And if not how would one do that.
You can do this using sharepoint designer. Have a look at this Blog http://blogs.msdn.com/b/joshuag/archive/2008/06/03/getting-the-current-user-name-or-id-in-sharepoint-using-sharepoint-designer-no-code.aspx

Everyone,
Greetings..!!
I have created Modern Team Site in SharePoint Online than, I have created 1 Test Page in Pages library.
When I opened Site Contents Search Box was shown in the SharePoint suite-bar. Please refer below image.[1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/qnhWW.png
When I opened Test Page from Pages library. Search Box was missing in the SharePoint suite-bar. Please refer below image.

Is there any way to unhide the Search Box on SharePoint Suite Bar while I am open page from pages library?
Please let me know your thoughts on the same.
Thanks in Advance.
It looks like you created modern team site but the page is in classic mode (may be it is a wiki page).
In classic sharepoint site search box is at right. In modern pages and sites, it is on top.
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.
Hy,
I use SharePoint Foundation 2010 and I learned that the "target audiences" are disabled on the Foundation version.
I need to customize a WebPart on a wiki page when A user of a certain group is connected.
Have you an idea ?
Thanks
Sam
Alternatively you can add a new web part page in your SharePoint site
and then add this Documents web part on the page. Once it is done,
Give access to only intended users for this page. Which means control
access at page level.

I have found a solution.
I insert JavaScript code in a WebPart in my wiki page from my SharePoint.
Based on the location seleted from the map ,weather report for that specific location should be displayed using sharepoint 2010. Is there any plug ins or webpart available ??

You can add javascript/html to a page using SharePoints Content Editor Web Part (CEWP) so you can just find one of the dozens of online services that do this and use their javascript on your SharePoint page.
We have the standard Sharepoint site for our group at work and was wondering if we could add into the title bar where our group name is (like to the right of it), or above the announcements/calender widgets a
picture that resembles our group
and a mission statement right next to it
Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks.
If you have the appropriate permissions, you can edit the page (More likely the master page) for the site using SharePoint Designer which is free from Microsoft. If you upload the image you want to a document library you can use that url for the img src.
SharePoint Designer 2010
SharePoint Designer 2007
But a simpler solution would be to edit the page, add a new web part and choose the Content Editor Web Part where you can put your mission statement and an image (that you previously uploaded to a document library).
You don't specify which version of SharePoint you are using, but changing the logo of a site hasn't changed much since the 2003 version. Office.Microsoft.com shows the user perspective of changing a logo. You could change the same setting through the API.
