I am trying to create a custom default view for a list. I made a copy of my list's AllItems.aspx page, and renamed it, and inserted a CEWP onto the page, as I would like to use jQuery to display a color in a column field similar to http://www.sharepointkings.com/2009/04/sharepoint-calculated-column-and-jquery.html. The issue I am having is that when I save my changes and check in the new page, SharePoint removes all of the web parts that were on my page.
Why is this happening, and how do I stop it from removing my webparts?
UPDATE: Still not definitely sure why, but I noted that it stopped doing this when I changed the filename to something different, instead of the default copied filename which I had been using before.
Rather than using a content editory query web part to change the color of an item, have you considered using conditional formatting which you can do via SharePoint designer?
Try this article for steps .. but I will also suggest you drop the idea of CEWP and use conditional formatting.

As per title. I need to customise AM207500 - Configuration Maintenance screen to add another custom field that will allow me to enter formula similar to QtyRequired field.
I got as far as displaying the correct dialog. But its missing the fields selection.
I believe I'm missing the OnRootFieldsNeeded property. But every time I try to edit the ASPX and manually add this. Its being cleared by Acumatica.
Am I in the right direction ? And how do I force this property in my ASPX ?
TIA
A bit unconventional, but have you tried updating the ASPX page on the custom pages and then clicking on the files section to update the file? This will then ensure the file update occurs before publish and hold the configuration
We're moving from a pure portal to a portal/aspx development model. So I've been working on getting my .Master pages working and so far so good, except i need a way to have a Editable Text webpart applied globally.
Imaging a block of copy that sits in the header and appears on each page.
So, in portal, the copy is entered, and this is used through out the site, regardless of the template. I know i can add static copy to the parent .Master page, but this needs to be editable by an admin.
I've tried registering the Editable Text webpart on the ASPX page, but this doesn't seem to work correctly in the portal.
I believe the way to accomplish this is to create a single page template that has only the editable text webpart on it and does not inherit any other content. Then on your master page, add a page placeholder which uses that editable text webpart page template. This should then display that on every page. I've not done this approach before but hypothetically speaking it should work.
You could set up a Custom Setting.
The Kentico documentation has a great How-To guide for that.
After that, you can then just reference it using a macro like {% Settings.MyCustomSetting %} on each page - this also allows you to then control how the text is rendered on each section, in case some sections have specific markup you need to apply to the text block.
What is the reason of converting to Mixed mode? Is it better control over the basic page markup or something else?
Are you aware that you can customize CMSPages/PortalTemplate.aspx or replace it by your custom base page completely?
You may consider to use this approach, and if you need that because some pages are more complex, so it makes more sense to hardcode them, you can also implement them as some larger custom web parts.
The Situation: I've got a mid-sized chunk of html/javascript that contains an authentication script/input (it's a text input, radio control, and a combo box and a few buttons). What it is is less important than the concept that it's a mass of static client side code that the marketing department can pretty easily accidentally the whole thing.
The Desire: I want the users to be able to add it as a whole to a page, but not be able to modify it. When something needs to change, I want to change it in one place and have it be changed on all the pages.
What I've Tried: Widget with a default text. It works, but feels wrong. Users can edit it, and if they do when I fix it one place it doesn't propagate to all the instances. I'm a bit of a Kentico noob, but it seems like there should be a better way to do this.
Also note: I'm using portal engine if that makes a difference.
A widget is the proper usage. What you make your widget inherit from is the key in this case. I'd suggest creating a new widget based on a static HTML webpart. This way you can set the static HTML markup and hide the property from the content editor on the front end. You can do this by going to the Properties tab of the widget and setting the visibility of the field on the form. Don't delete the field, just hide it. It should be a checkbox that says hide on public form or editing form.
** Edit **
As I read through my answer and comments, I realized I meant to say clone the static HTML webpart and set its default text to your javascript. Then create a widget based on that cloned webpart. The text will reside in the web part and will allow you to update it in one place later, if needed.
I will not do it this way because you will be not able to make changes in the future. You can better create a new webpart this can be an empty webpart and then create a custom layout. In this layout you can put you're code. In this way you can always change you're code in the future and then it will be changed on all the places where the widget is placed.
I'd use a new widget based on the Static HTML webpart (make the field read only or hide it as Brenden mentioned), but store the data in a new custom setting.
no coding needed (only a macro to read the custom setting)
able to edit the script on the fly on any instance in the settings module. If you have multiple of these settings you won't need to go through all kinds of widgets to adjust their default setting but find them on a central place.
Cheers!

In this case I think it makes sense to create a custom web part to store all your code in it and use it that way. If you want to achieve it without creating a custom web part, you have to store the code in some non-web part and not widget specific object. I like the suggestion of creating a custom setting. You can then access this custom setting via a macro. This macro can be used as a default property of a newly created web part (inherited e.g. from the static text web part, you'd use the text property). You may as well create a widget out of it. Another approach is to use Kentico localization keys as a workaround. you can create a key in the Localization application and access it again, via a macro, e.g. {?customkey.myhtml?}. The approach with a custom setting however sounds cleaner to me.
This syntax should be working to access a custom setting value via macro:
{%Settings.CustomSettings.xxx%}
{%Settings.CustomSettings["xxx"]%}
{%Settings.CustomSettings.GetValue("xxx")%}
In the source code for a master page, there is a section that has the following ASP.NET item: . This contains the "Welcome (User Name)" and Site Actions menus.
How do I create an additional menu that is similar to the look and feel of the Welcome menu? I've tried to create Front End HTML that behaves similar to the out of the box SharePoint menus, but it isn't quite right. I would prefer to utilize an ASP.NET or SharePoint control that acts similar to the SharePoint menu if that is possible.
For example, is <SharePoint:AspMenu> the appropriate control to use?
Thanks,
Robert
i am sure you will get better answer than this but just wanted to point what i have done to do this
i have added javascript library (JQuery) (for some other reason ) and when time come to do this thing i just added a JQuery code that creates another item in the navigation list with appropriate style and css class with the needed link and caption.
You could try another instance of the PersonalActions control with a custom GroupId. But when the control is rendered, it might also say "Welcome, [User]" just like the original.
I need to be able to adjust the alignment of an image in an "Enhanced Rich Text Field" in an announcements list in MOSS 2007. However, the default content editor in the edit form for the list doesn't provide a way to do that. What's the fastest way for me to make sure users can align images? My first thought was to customize the DispForm.aspx and EditForm.aspx pages, but they just have the ListForm web part in the content region and as far as I know, you can't customize the ListForm web part from the designer.
You can't customize the LisForm web part, but you can add a "custom list form" to create a custom edit form. Maybe you haven't seen this article: http://weblogs.asp.net/jan/archive/2006/11/06/Custom-Edit-Forms-for-SharePoint-2007-Lists.aspx
Then you could do some javascript hackery to insert your own button which then calls something similar to existing RTE_InsertImage function to call a pop-up window and do whatever you need (you'll find this function in 12\template\layouts\1033\form.js)
I fail to see (or understand) your issue. I created a new announcements list, created a new item, inserted an image, aligned it to the right, viewed the item and it worked.
Then I proceeded to create a new custom column, choose multiple lines,enhanced rich text field, edited my list item, added an image, centered it, viewed and it was also working.
The only thing I noticed is that the "rich" control does not appears on non-IE browsers.
