I have a requirement for changing the way bread crumbs looks in sharepoint. Please note that the data source will still be sharepoint but i need to generate the html little differently than the one displayed by sharepoint.
for example, if you are in a custom list,sharepoint displays as site > custom list > all items.
I neeed to display site, custom list and all items (no change in the items that are got from sharepoint). The only change will be, the user interface will be generated with a combination of html ul tags with some custom css?
Can someone suggest me the best approach?
Thanks
The visual appearance of the SiteMapPath control that displays a breadcrumb can be modified by setting the attributes of the control or by configuring the templates that are available for the control. I think that the CssClass and NodeTemplate properties is what you need.

To modify the content of the breadcrumb you need to create a custom site map provider inheriting from SPContentMapProvider.

I want to transform a classic site into a modern experience and I have the following customization, done on a classic list form.
The page contains two Webparts:
XsltListViewWebPart to display the list of items
ContentEditorWebPart to fetch some summary data
Problem :
The SPFx extension used to replace the default rendering of the list works only on the allitems.aspx page (it is not working on my custom page which contains ListWebpart)
I need to know how to be able to make SPFx extension working on that ListWebpart.
Or if it is possible to add a client side webpart inside my allitems.apx page.
We can't 'Edit' OOB modern list view currently.
When you add list view to a modern page, you could deploy react-script-editor to your tenant so you could add this webpart to modern page which works like script editor webpart in classic view.
We are migrating Lotus Notes application to SharePoint 2010. There are around 200 views on navigation pane of Lotus Notes. In order to provide similar kind of look and feel on SharePoint I am thinking to add dropdown on quick launch of my site.
Is it possible to add HTML controls like dropdown and add a functionality to navigate to respective view? Or else what could be the better solution for this case?
Thanks,
Pratima
You can use the ASP.NET placeholders available in the masterpage to host a control or WebPart beside the Quick Launch. The actual QuickLauch is generally customized by JavaScript unless you want to replace it with a completely new class.
I am trying to get a solution for my issue. I have a set of HTML CSS and Images, which I want to apply to my sharepoint portal as a part of branding.
My concern is I want to make my design as WSP or any other kind of solution so that it can be installed in any sharepoint 2010 portal so that the user can switch back between actual sharepoint design and this custom design.
In short I have a custom HTML design which I need to implement to any sharepoint website, this design can be turned On or Off by the administrator just using the portal/Site screens.
Thanks in advance
SharePoint branding is always a tricky job. The safest way to achieve your goal is to create a separate masterpage with your new branding. So the user can choose to apply the default branding with the default masterpage and when he wants another branding your customized masterpage can be used.
Create a new SharePoint project and add the needed css inside a mapped layouts folder. Then you can reference your own css file in the new masterpage. Watch out with changing the masterpage, because it contains a lot of placeholders which will render different parts of the page. Try to work around these placeholders and make sure the masterpage works in different scenario's (ex. that the layout isn't broken when page is in edit mode, ...)
Once you are finished with the design, the user can use it by applying it in the settings. Another option to make it easier for the enduser, is to create a control that is a switch to apply your masterpage (ex. with custom action).
Effectively I am looking to change the viewed Document Library within an exsisting List View Web Part from 'Document Library #1' to Document Library #2'. I want to do so without having to re-create the entire web part (e.g. settings & views) as I would have to do this multiple times.
Sharepoint version is 2007 and Sharepoint Designer is not avaliable.
Context: I am currently building a Sharepoint area which will consist of multiple ASPX pages all based off an original layout. This layout includes a List View web part that directly views a Document Library.
Each ASPX page has a Document Library attributed to it (e.g. Page1.aspx and DocLib1), which I wish to display within this List View web part.
Page1.aspx was setup just fine (effectively the original). When setting up Page2.aspx as a direct copy of the first, I am unable to change the List View from DocLib1 to DocLib2 as there seems no option to do so.
The list view web part isn't easily customizable unless you can edit the xml for the web part and change some guids. If you want to be able to change the source list through the browser you will need to use a different web part - the content query web part is an out of box option, though obviously that is quite different from the standard list view.
You may also be able to do something with with list templates - if you can use a custom template instead of the standard document library template, you may be able to alter AllItems.aspx to do what you need.
I'm trying to replace the navigation on our sharepoint site with a treeview. It's a large site with up to 4 subsite leves in places. All I need it to do is
show a consistent structure from page to page
show only sites and pages
The default sharepoint treeview seems to do neither of these things (doesn't display items from the parent site, includes document libraries but not pages).
Does anyone have any idea how to achieve this? We're using the publishing site template throughout if that makes a difference.
I've tried binding the tree to the datasource the quick launch uses but I guess from the error message they expect differently named properties.
You cannot do it using the default property of sharepoint.
But I had also almost the same requirement. I did this task by the following way
Store all the links in an XML file.
Create a webpart for reading XML file and create menu
Open the masterpage using sharepoint designer and comment the lines which render the top navigation and place the new webpart there
Inherit this masterpage in its subsite.
