Read sharepoint page title from list - sharepoint

I have a SharePoint 2007 page which display news details dynamically from a list using query string , all the news is displayed in page NewsDetails.aspx like this NewsDetails.aspx?ID=112, what i want to do is making the page title read from the news list so that it displayed deferent for every page depending on the news title in the page to make the website more search engine friendly ,
i have noticed that the page title come from
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderPageTitle" runat="server">
<SharePoint:EncodedLiteral runat="server" text="<%$Resources:wss,multipages_homelink_text%>" EncodeMethod="HtmlEncode"/>
-
<SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property="Title" runat="server"/>
is there a way to change this <%$Resources:wss,multipages_homelink_text%> to a list filed value ?

You can modify the master page and replace the content of the PlaceHolderPageTitle placeholder with your custom control. This custom control can check if the requested url contains NewsDetails.aspx if so you can set you custom text in all other cases you can display the multipages_homelink_text

How to link to an individual web content item in Liferay?

Let's say that I am using an AUI Carousel to display a news item slideshow.
This is a typical slideshow - a series of images with overlay text and each image/overlay text links to a web content article for the site's news.
It seems that with Liferay 6.2, it's only possible to link to a page containing the article rather than the article itself.
How does one link to an individual article?
The solution here is to use a Display Page; starting with Liferay 6.1, there is the concept of Canonical URLs (see here).
In order to use this, you need two things:
an asset publisher page (in my example here, the page is called News)
when creating the web content item, set the Display Page to the above (News)
Now the content item can be referred to via: http(s)://<site-url>/-/<web-content-item-url-title>
So, if I have a web content item with the name Come Join Us For Lunch, and a site url of http://my-site.com/, the canonical URL for this web content item will be http://my-site.com/-/come-join-us-for-lunch
However, you should always get the actual url-title from
JournalArticle.getUrlTitle()

Change Sharepoint main page name without changing URL

I have a SharePoint website, my main page is on mySiteRoot/Pages/default.aspx (quite normal until here I think) but the problem is that the name in the browser tab is also "default".
I want to change the name displaying in the tab without changing the name of the .aspx file, but despite all my searches I can't find it on SharePoint.
Does someone have a solution ?
Each page in SharePoint should have a Name and a Title. The Name refers to the filename of the page, and thus affects the page's URL (in your case, "default.aspx").
The Title is independent of the page Name, and this is what is displayed in the browser title bar / tab.
To edit an existing page, the easiest thing to do is to navigate to Site Actions > View All Site Content. Under the "Document Libraries" area, locate and open the "Pages" library. In the library, find "default" and from either its context menu or the ribbon, select "Edit Properties". There you can change the Title to whatever you want.
open the page in SharePoint designer.. and look for the string:
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderPageTitle" runat="server">
<SharePoint:ListItemProperty Property="BaseName" maxlength="40" runat="server"/>
</asp:Content>
Simply replace it as:
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderPageTitle" runat="server">
Your title
</asp:Content>
Hopefully you will get it working.
which edition/version of SharePoint ? I guess it's 2010 with wiki home feature enabled.
If I'm right, you have to rename the file to rename the page. But don't worry, your page will still be the home page of your site.
You can in all case click on set as default page on any page in the ribbon.

How to change teamsite text layout programmatically?

I have a code that creates a teamsite. After that I add some web parts to wiki web part zone(rich content area). In SharePoint 2010 user can change a text layout of the rich content in page edit mode.
Is there any way to programmatically change the text layout of the rich text area? I would want to set "two columns with header"-layout after site creation has completed.
My site is created like this.
site = elevatedSite.SelfServiceCreateSite(params.....);
rootWeb = site.RootWeb;
rootWeb.ApplyWebTemplate("STS#0");
SPListItem currentItem = rootWeb.Item;
var xhtml = currentItem[SPBuiltInFieldId.WikiField] as string;
Now I can modify the xhtml string and save it back to the page. I have tried to change it so that it contains exatly the same html structure which have created by sharepoint itself, when changing the text layout. After that change, actually it is not recognized as "two columns with header"-layout in sharepoint. It is still default one-column layout. Is there anybody who knows is it possible to change the text layout of the rich text area programmatically?
I found answer from here http://donalconlon.wordpress.com/2010/05/04/sp2010-creating-a-wiki-page-using-the-om/. SharePoint stores the information about used layout to the hidden span-element in wiki page.
For example, this presents two column layout without the header or footer.
<span id="layoutsData" style="display: none">false,false,2</span>
first false = no header
second false = no footer
2 = two columns
I have been looking for some information on doing the same thing. I found this blog post that checks out the page, edits the content then publish and approves it.
SharePoint 2010 change page content data through Object Model / API – Console Application
If you need to modify pure HTML content, its better to use cutom IHttpHandler (wrapped in dll) and connect it to SharePoint via web.config. Is is also allowing to modify dynamic content like AJAX responses.

Create a Sharepoint page but don't show in breadcrumb

I'm struggling to do something which I thought should be straight forward, basically I need to create an aspx page which I now realise must be put into a document library but the problem I have is it's only one page and when the page is displayed the breadcrumb has a link to the document library.
We really don't want the users to be able to get to the library via the breadcrumb and just want to show the page. From one of my other questions some other helpful people made some suggestions like putting the file in the _layout directory but this won't work because the new page has a master page associated with it.
Any ideas how I can display the custom page but not allow normal users to navigate to the document list?
Thanks!

Having a master page associated with an ASPX page does not prevent it from being placed in the _layouts directory. All of my ASPX pages use a custom master page I wrote, and they're all stored in the _layouts directory. But there's enough methods to hide the breadcrumbs without changing the storage location.
If you want to hide the breadcrumbs on only a specific page, the simplest method to do so is to prevent the contents of the breadcrumbs from being displayed. On the default master page (and I'm going assume that your master page also has this), there is a content called "PlaceHolderTitleBreadcrumb", which is what displays the breadcrumb. By overriding this in the ASPX file, you can prevent this from displaying. A simple way is to just insert the following line in your ASPX file:
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderTitleBreadcrumb" runat="server"> </asp:Content>
By being in the page itself, it becomes a custom version of the breadcrumb instead of the master page's, so it won't evaluate itself and will leave you with a blank line. The will keep content inside the table cell, so it will specifically make a blank line occupy the same space that the breadcrumbs normally would. If you just put an empty content there, then it will instead render nothing there and pull all of your content upwards. Up to you if you think that looks better.
As far as where to place the line, I recommend just beneath the following lines, if your ASPX page has them. If you don't have the following lines, you might have to experiment a bit to find what position works properly.
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderPageImage" runat="server">
<IMG SRC="/_layouts/images/blank.gif" width=1 height=1 alt="">
</asp:Content>

Is it possible to format a NumberField in a page layout?

I'm developing a SharePoint publishing site and setting up its content types and page layouts. I need to display the value for a Year field with type Number. The markup currently is:
<SharePointWebControls:NumberField FieldName="Year" runat="server" id="Year" />
The problem with the default behaviour is that it shows each number with a comma, e.g. "2,009" instead of "2009". Is there a way I can set some sort of String.Format syntax on the field to make it display correctly?
I tried creating a new rendering template which looks like this:
<SharePoint:RenderingTemplate ID="YearNumberField" runat="server">
<Template>
<SharePoint:FormField ID="TextField" runat="server"/>
</Template>
</SharePoint:RenderingTemplate>
... but there doesn't appear to be any 'Format' property on the FormField object.
Thanks for any help.
Update:
I tried wrapping the SharePoint:FormField tag inside SharePoint:FormattedString. Unfortunately the field was not formatted, same results as this question.
The issue is that the rendering template must use FormField. This always renders the value in the format: 1,989 . To resolve this the rendered text needs to be trapped and altered to get the desired output. Here are two approaches to resolving this:
1. Write a custom control inherited from NumberField
The RenderFieldForDisplay and RenderFieldForInput methods can be overridden to provide the desired output. Additional properties can be added to the control to describe additional behaviour.
Pros: No changes to rendering templates required.
2. Write a custom control for use in the rendering template
A control that (for example) uses regular expressions to alter text can wrap around the FormField control.
<SharePoint:RenderingTemplate ID="YearField" runat="server">
<Template>
<RX:RegexManipulatorControl runat="server"
Mode="Replace"
Expression=","
Replacement="">
<SharePoint:FormField runat="server"/>
</RX:RegexManipulatorControl>
</Template>
</SharePoint:RenderingTemplate>
Pros: Generic solution can be used for any type of field.
