All I am trying to do is to remove the right zone of this site. How do I accomplish this?
Is there any site in SharePoint that doesn't have zones?
Web Part Zones are part of the Page Layout that your page instance is using. To remove a Web Part Zone you can:
Edit the page in SharePoint Designer. Before placing the page into edit mode, SharePoint Designer will ask if you want to detach from the Page Layout. Once you do, you can now format the page however you would like.
Create a custom Page Layout based on the out of the box Page Layout with the right zone removed. After your custom Page Layout is deployed or uploaded, you can associate your page with that layout.
Hide the zone with custom CSS. The easiest way to do this is to add a Content Editor Web Part onto your page with the CSS to hide the zone.
On the content Editor just insert the following and it works:
<script>
function HideWebPartZone()
{
var x = document.getElementsByTagName("TD")
var i=0;
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
if (x[i].width=="70%")
{
// left column
x[i].style.width="100%";
// center (otherwise empty) column
var x2=x[i].nextSibling;
x2.style.width="0";
x2.style.display="none";
x2.innerHTML="";
// right column
x2=x[i].nextSibling.nextSibling;
x2.style.width="0";
x2.style.display="none";
x2.innerHTML="";
// right margin column
x2=x[i].nextSibling.nextSibling.nextSibling;
x2.style.width="0";
x2.style.display="none";
x2.innerHTML="";
//all done
return;
}
}
}
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("HideWebPartZone")
</script>
If you have edit access on the page, you should be able to set the Text Layout to one column to remove that right column. This option is in the Editing Tools->Format Text->Text Layout section of the ribbon when in page editing mode.
once you are in sharepoint designer..please also try right clicking on the aspx file and select "Edit in Advanced Mode" - This will let you delete zones, columns and when you go to save the file you will get prompted to create a custom layout..say Yes...all done in one shot.

Im new to SharePoint and have been asked to update some text on a form in SharePoint. I can’t figure out how to select and make the changes. When I select the web part that contains the form textboxes, buttons etc, there does not seem to be a way to select and edit the text. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I should try?
You can connect to your SharePoint site using SharePoint designer and do all the customization needed there.
Or you can add a content editor web part and inside its content just add a <script> tag and add some JavaScript that get the label you want to change and edit its content
How do you add a content query webpart to a apublishing page layout and configure it to aggregate content from the pages in the page library??Can some one give me some insight on this?? Do I drop a content query webpart in SP designer?? If I do that, how do I configure the query??
Or do I add a content query webpart using ribbon and then export it and make customizations and import and drop that one on the page layout??? Please someone???
SCENARIO: I have to insert a content query webpart to a publishing page layout for Physicians profile site. Based on the page layout, there will be profile pages for each physicians. Now, each physician's' profile page will have his/her primary practice location name, address, phone etc as well as other multiple practice locations. Say Mr Tom's primary location is listed as hospital 'x' on his profile page, now I want to be able to also aggregate the names of all the other lawyers that also work in hospital 'X' as Tom's office members on his bio page using content query webpart on the page layout. How do I add and configure the webpart? I mean it's easy to add a content query webpart in just one page and configure it but I want to add it on a page layout so all the content pages will have its implementation as the pages are created by the authors.
say there are 10 profile pages in the pages library and 5 of them have at least one of their pracice locations as hopital X(they may be working at hospital Y, Z..etc at the same time too), now I want all 5 doctors name aggregated on the Tom's profile pages as his office members!?
Lots of question marks... yes you can add the content query webpart to a layout by using SP designer. This will COPY that webpart to every page that is created using that layout (or has its layout switched to that one). That makes the query to set up tricky because it needs to get the input on WHICH physician from somewhere - check out this article here. Using the PageFieldValue option should do the trick.
To change a CQWP, don't modify the default version. Instead, navigate to your XSL file in the Style Library in SPD and copy the ItemStyle.XSL and rename the copy to something else (such as CUSTOMItemStyle.xsl). Then go to a test page, place a blank CQWP, and click "Export". Open the .webpart file that you exported and modify the properties to link to your CUSTOMItemStyle.xsl.
Save the .webpart file and import it back to the gallery through the browser. Rename the new CQWP (to something like CUSTOM_CQWP.webpart or whatever).
Now you can modify the CUSTOMItemStyle.xsl to use custom XSL. Shape the XSL file how your requirements dictate, then in your test page, change the Web Part properties to use your new custom ItemSTyle. Once your web part look like you want it to, you can export it again and then reimport it back into the gallery and all your settings will be saved.
Now you can go to Designer and add this web part to your page layouts. When the user uses that layout, the web part is already placed on the page and wired up accordingly. Additionally, by usign this method, they can change teh web part properties of the web part or even delete the web part altogether if they don't want it, without affecting your page layout.

I've noticed with Sharepoint 2010, many of the links do not the support open in new tab/window feature. For example, items on the quick menu do not. Is it possible to enable?
Use the JavaScript function to open a new window in SharePoint 2010.
Create the function to open your target window as sample provide below.
function load_url(externallink)
{
window.open(externallink,target='_blank')
}
Place the function load_url in JavaScript file
Click site actions, select manage content and structure.
Suppose you want to change the links in the page
http://someserver/sites/Dev/Help/HelpLinks/AllItems.aspx
Then select the List named HelpLinks in the sub site Help. Dev will be the top most node(site). Help will be a sub site and inside Help you can find List by name HelpLinks.
All the links in the page and their title will be displayed
Select the title of link which you want to open in new tab and right click.
Select Edit properties. Then in the URL field and call the function as javascript:load_url('http://www.google.co.in'); instead of http:// www.google.co.in
Or Else
Suppose you want to change the links in the below URL.
URL: http:// someserver/sites/Dev/Help/HelpLinks/AllItems.aspx
Go To
open to the link http:// someserver/sites/Dev/Help/HelpLinks/AllItems.aspx
You will find the columns of the List (Title Column, URL column, Summary etc).
Select the Title and click Edit property which you want to edit
Then in the URL field and call the function as javascript:load_url('http://www.google.co.in'); instead of http:// www.google.co.in
This answer is a recap of this article and is not an answer I came up with: http://sharepointsolutions.blogspot.com/2007/09/make-selected-links-in-links-list-open.html
Step 1: Add #openinnewwindow to the end of all hyperlinks you want to open in new window.
Step 2: Then you will need to add the follow script to your SharePoint pages.
[script language = "JavaScript"]
//add an entry to the _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames array
//so that our function will run on the pageLoad event
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("rewriteLinks");
function rewriteLinks() {
//create an array to store all the anchor elements in the page
var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
//loop through the array
for (var x = 0; x < anchors.length; x++) {
//does this anchor element contain #openinnewwindow?
if (anchors[x].outerHTML.indexOf('#openinnewwindow') > 0) {
//store the HTML for this anchor element
oldText = anchors[x].outerHTML;
//rewrite the URL to remove our test text and add a target instead
newText = oldText.replace(/#openinnewwindow/, '" target="_blank');
//write the HTML back to the browser
anchors[x].outerHTML = newText;
}
}
}
[/script]
Whats the 'Quick menu'? Do mean list item context menu or something else? Can you post a screenshot?
There are two types of links used.
Normal HTML anchors - You can hold down the CTRL key when clicking.
JavaScript links (menus and such) the CTRL key doesn't work. If you're working with the Edit/View forms then this may be of interest
SharePoint - Editing The SharePoint List Item Menu
Especially look for Part II where it talks about changing this behaviour in List Settings > Advanced Settings > Dialogs
This is actually an Internet Explorer specific bug. The navigation links in SharePoint 2010 are regular links but have two nested span tags around the text of the link. This confuses IE which doesn't realise that the text you are right-clicking up is a link and so doesn't give the correct context menu. If you right-click just to the left of the text of the link (the cursor should still show as the "hand") the context menu appears as expected.
For Sharepoint 2013, I used Keith's code with a delayed call.
<script type="text/javascript">
// Add an entry to the _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames array
// so that our function will run on the pageLoad event
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("rewriteLinks");
function rewriteLinks() {
$('a').attr("target","_blank");
}
</script>
In the SharePoint Wiki Editor, you can click the "From Address" Link you added, and a LINK menu will appear in the ribbon bar. Inside that, you can click "Open in New Tab" It's not exactly New Window, but it's close and easy.
Add this to the end of the link.
#openinnewwindow
example: http://www.bing.com**#openinnewwindow
I'm building a bulletin board site (in 2010) and I'm sure this must be simple but again it doesn't seem so. Anyway on my default page I have a query webpart showing the latest items and what I need is just a button at the top of the page "Add new item" which would show the popup and allow users to complete the form just like it works on the display list items form.
I've looked at AllItems.aspx but can't even see the "Add new item" button to copy!
Any ideas?
Thanks
Dan
This is actually very easy. You need to know the address for your NewForm.aspx page. To make it look like a dialog box, you want to add IsDlg=1 to the query string. SharePoint has a built in JavaScript that can do all this for you. Below is an example of a button I created to open new help desk tickets.
//Handle the DialogCallback callback
function DialogCallback(dialogResult, returnValue){}
//Open the Dialog
function OpenNewDialog(){
var options = {
url:"/depts/is/helpdesk/Lists/Service%20Requests/NewForm.aspx?IsDlg=1",
width: 700,
height: 700,
dialogReturnValueCallback: DialogCallback
};
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
}
You can also leave off the width and height options and the dialog window will size itself. For the HTML
<div style="text-align: center">
Open a new Service Request
</div>
How complicated is your query? If the query is only pulling from one list, you could put the filters into a view in the list and replace your query webpart with a List View Web Part (in the browser, select the webpart named after your list). In the List View Web Part properties, switch to your new view. By default, a List View Web Part includes an Add New Item link.
Now, it's a link and not a button. And it's in the footer of the webpart, not at the the top. If you really need a button at the top of the page, you could add a Content Editor Web Part and insert HTML for your own button. You should be able to reuse the Add New Item URL from AllItems.aspx. The URL should look something like this: http://mysite/_layouts/listform.aspx?PageType=8&ListId={21AA3D96-75EE-45CC-A153-D0FA7856DE67}&RootFolder=
Hi I was wondering which Layout I could use to get the search box in the top right hand corner. I used (Welcome Page) Blank Web Part Page) as the page layout but its missing the search box in the top right corner.
Also another question: How can I add my own layouts to the list in the Create Page, page. Thank you.
The search box is defined in your master page. Ususally default.master, it would not matter which layout you choose the elements defined in the master page will still be in the same place. In your case it would appear that the search box does not exist on your master and would need to be added in again.
You would need to amend the master page for your site and add the appropriate SP control for search into the appropriate place on your page. This will ensure that a SP search box is rendered in that location for every page.
To define your own page layout have a look at Link 1 and Link 2.
As for the search box, it is defined as part of the Site Template. Try creating a Site using the Collaboration Site template.
