I am newbie to SharePoint Dev.I need to know how sharepoint dev approach towards a solution like menu drop down which shows list of categories like category 1, category 2 etc and by click on each category in menu. it display list of products. Categories main page should display slideshow of categories.
What is best way to apprach this senarios in sharepoint. how many list, webpart I have to develop? More option will be appreaciated.
How to decide which list, web part and work flow is required?
2 lists, 1 lookup field and a webpart showing the two items. No workflow required.

I created a webpage containing various promoted link tiles. This page is my default page (when the user logons he/she is redirectedto this page). Based upon the group to which the user belongs I want to show some specific promoted link tiles and hide the rest of the promoted link tiles.
For example, my webpage contains 4 Promoted Link tiles.
For a normal user I want to show only 2 Promoted Link tiles and hide the rest of the tiles.
Whereas for admin I want to show all the Promoted Link tiles.
Or I thought of having different pages for different groups, but I couldn't find any setting in SharePoint 2013 to have different default pages for different groups.
I'm using both of the solutions listed above on the same site to meet different needs.
I have one Promoted Links list that provides 'activity' links for a number of different user types. In order to keep the user experience simple for users I'm setting permissions on individual items in the Promoted Links list to hide specific tiles/links from groups that don't need to see them.
On the list, you need to break permissions with the site, then change the permissions on the specific tiles you're 'hiding'.
I'm using SharePoint security groups to set permissions.
I'm using a second list to provide additional links on the page, but want to hide some of the links - sort of an active/inactive thing. Rather than adding a new field (which I haven't tested yet) I'm using the Order field as a filter. For example: If Order is less than 100, show them.
You can create the new view either in the browser (the 'Standard View' template will give you a tile view - surprisingly) or use the solution above for adding a view using SharePoint Designer. Either method will allow you to set a filter, sort, etc.
Alternatively, if you want to create another list type view, you can create a new view and use 'All Promoted Links' as a starting point.
You can create different views for different users using SharePoint Designer.
Below are the step by step guides.
Click on any blank region of the Promoted Links. This will show the ribbon for that Promoted Link.
Click List tab on the ribbon.
Click Create View.
Click Custom View in SharePoint Designer
Allow it to open in SharePoint Designer.
Give a name for your view, e.g. Test and click OK. By default, SharePoint designer takes Tiles view.
Close SharePoint designer and go back to your Promoted Links in browser.
Click the List Tab on ribbon.
Select the view you just created from the dropdown menu.
Click Modify View.
You can hide or display any link by giving a suitable condition for filter.
Actually the above thing is not possible in SharePoint.
For every user there will we same page in SharePoint but depending upon the group to which a user belongs we can hide and show a promoted links.
First create some groups and assign user to a particular groups and than change the permission of promoted groups to show/hide that particular group.
I want to be able to filter a SharePoint list based on the values present (easy by clicking the filter button at the top of the list for each column). However I'd like to give options in a drop down menu and once chosen the list would be refilted based on the options I give. Is this possibile to do in the browser or would it require designer or actual code? Thank you.
This is all SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Server knowledge; I've never used 2007.
What #Ryan is alluding to here is that you can click a down-arrow on most list columns to filter them. One caveat is that if the column is multi-select, it won't display a drop-down. (SharePoint doesn't know how to group, filter, or sort on multi-select columns.) Another caveat could be that if you're displaying the list items in such a way that their headings don't appear (such as in a List View web part, or maybe in some of the styles...) you obviously won't be able to filter.
A solution might be to use a "SharePoint List Filter" web part, which uses a list column as the source for filter values which can then be sent to other web parts -- such as a List View web part. Presumably, you could use the list you're intending to filter as a source for the Filter web part itself. From a UX perspective maybe this might help you display the list with different styling, but still get the drop-down filter directly in the content area.
A caveat with the "SharePoint List Filter" web part is that it's not actually a drop-down per se, but instead shows a little filter icon that pops up a dialog in which users then have to select a value.
Note there's also the "Managed Metadata Navigation" feature that would give users dropdowns (for e.g. choice columns) and metadata filter fields (for managed metadata columns). These show up in the Quick Launch (left-nav area) if configured on the list/library settings. The feature must first be enabled on the site.
How do I add a link column to Sharepoint grid view?
You can use SPMenuField. It serves two purposes - it configures the hyperlink you follow if you click on the item directly and, optionally, links to a dropdown menu
This is a great primer on MSDN blogs about SPGridView

It looks to be supported by the Telerik SPRadGrid (which I trialed for my SharePoint apps not long ago). Using the Publishers SP List as source for the example I linked, you should have the Name column values as hyperlinks. You might give it a spin.
Is it possible to add a note board or other web parts to a Custom List? I would like to be able to have comments on list items.
any particular reason you don't want to use a discussion board? That's it's entire purpose.
Create a data view webpart for your list. This webpart will display one item at a time, so you have to filter this dataview webpart by Item ID using querystring. The page on which you will deploy this dataview webpart will also have noteboard webpart. Comments given here will stick to that particular item which will be displayed in dataview based on Item ID.
I would like to implement filtering on my sharepoint list. My list is having title and description columns and I would like to poulate the ASP.NET dropdown list control with titles and when I select the title I would like to show the description. I have followed the link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc300163(office.12).aspx to implement this.
I have created a blank aspx page in Sharepoint Designer and followed the same steps. everything works fine but when I export the webpart, only description part is getting exported. I cannot see the drop down on the page (but when I preview it on the browser I can see both).
In your question you say that you are creating a aspx page and then exporting a webpart.
It could be that you are placing the drop down on one thing and exporting another.
