I have to modify text in discussion board new post page. Now it is showing "Items on this list require content approval. Your submission will not appear in public views until approved by someone with proper rights. More information on content approval."
I have to append some text to this message. I am trying to find discussion board newform.aspx page to modify. Please let me know where can I get that?
Assuming your discussion list is called "Public Discussion" at a site called "http://yoursite"
Connect to the site (http://yoursite) with sharepoint designer
Go to All Files -> Lists -> Public Discussion -> NewForm.aspx
Edit file
Look for <asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server">
Add content as needed
Save file, it will warn you that you are about to save a customised layout.
The message you describe is injected by sharepoint's content approval framework. To custom the messsage, you will most likely need to use javascript to find the message box and change the text.
On my site the html xpath to the node is something like this:
//span[#id='part1']/table/tbody/tr/td[2]
On the file system it will be here:
$sphome / "Name of your discussion board" (this will be a folder) / Forms / newform.aspx
There is a similar question asked here. It describes custom template controls handle the display of this content.
There is also a link here that describes a solution to do this using css. This would allow you to hide the OOB text and then have your own content displayed instead. However, there is some question of it working on broswers other than IE so include this in your testing.

I am new to liferay and using liferay-ce-portal-7.0-ga3 i have placed a blog and able to write contents in it. i want to change the blog portlet design by adding thumbnail preview to it . My current view is it has either title,abstract and full content view. How could i customize to get blog view
You can customize Liferay's appearance through Application Display Templates (ADT). Unfortunately there's no sample for the OOTB appearances, but when you go to your site's (or the global site's) Configuration area, you can find/edit/create ADTs there. Depending on the markup and CSS, as well as your typical image size etc., the actual ADT you write would be different, thus impossible to include anything here.
The editor however, has some autocomplete and some predefined entries/fields, that should give you a starting point. E.g. when you just open a blank editor and hit the "Blog Entries" field, you'll end up with
<#-- Application display templates can be used to modify
the look of a specific application. Please use the
left panel to quickly add commonly used variables.
Autocomplete is also available and can be invoked
by typing "${". -->
<#if entries?has_content>
<#list entries as curBlogEntry>
${curBlogEntry.title}
</#list>
</#if>
You'll find what you can do with BlogsEntry in it's javadoc, make sure to follow the BlogsEntryModel superclass link as well to see more.
I'll have to leave the exercise to generate proper markup and styling to you though.
I have Orchard 1.7 setup with blog recipe.
The home screen display a list of blog posts.
I want to override the way the content is displayed in summary view. I could do this for each parts. But my styling is such that I need to wrap title, body, and meta tags with a special div when ever the display type is summary.
The problem is:
After shape tracing I understood that the template used in the home page (summary) is same as the detailed one.
Content.cshtml
For detail view I want to use the default core-> Views/Content.cshtml but for summary I need to supply my own. How can I do this?
OR
How to write a driver/widget to the home page. I know how I can do this for parts/fields/modules but I don't have an idea on how to create a driver for Blog home page.
Whenever I add a widget to the homepage the default blog post list still get displayed.
Just create a file called Content.Summary.cshtml in your theme. This will target all summary views, so if you have more than just blog posts on your site you will probably want to have Content-BlogPost.Summary.cshtml.
I wrote a small blog post on Item templates in Orchard if you are interested... http://arkleseizure.net/what-the-hell-is-an-item-template
Looking to remove the Url field on a blog in orchard.comments modal. The problem is that the URL get linked to the username and i do not want my site linking to explicit sites or other content. I have tried display:none on the css but it would not take a genius just to display:block it.
Thanks in advance.
Edit the content type and disable Allow custom patterns in the autoroute section.
Of you just dont want to display the field, download Designer Tools and use Shape Tracing to generate the view and then customize it as you need.
The Situation:
I have customized the Bug Database template for SharePoint 2007 using SharePoint Designer. Specifically, I have edited the additional .aspx pages included with the template that are located inside the Bugs list. These are just simple edit forms and my customizations are very minor.
I have verified that the Supporting Files are correctly selected (New, Edit, Display). These forms have all been edited as well. I have the following .aspx pages (Non Views) in the Bugs List:
Activate.aspx
Close.aspx
DispForm.aspx - Supporting Display Form
EditForm.aspx - Supporting Edit Form
NewForm.aspx
ResolveForm.aspx
NewIssue.aspx - Supporting New Form
Resolve.aspx
The Problem:
On any of the views, the view dropdown contains 3 non views that correspond to the Activate, Close, and Resolve forms in addition to the actual view choices. Choosing these "views" just opens these forms.
Obviously, SharePoint is picking up any .aspx pages in the List that aren't supporting files and assuming they are views. Strangely, this was NOT the case for these files before I modified them using SharePoint Designer. Additionally, The NewForm.aspx page was NOT modified (I just created a new form that is now a supporting file), and even though it is not marked as a supporting file, it does not incorrectly show up in my views list.
The Conclusion:
There must be some setting to mark these files as non views without them being supporting files. I have looked through the NewForm.aspx and compared it to my modified forms and can find no obvious difference that should have any bearing on this.
Perhaps you have had this problem before or are aware of how to fix this issue? If so, here are some easy points! Thanks in Advance!
If they have been setup as a view (which it sounds like they have been), try making the <View> hidden to remove it from the view list
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms438338.aspx
<View BaseViewID="1"
Type="HTML"
WebPartZoneID="Main"
DisplayName="Activate"
RowLimit="100"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/generic.png"
Hidden="TRUE"
Url="Activate.aspx">
I dont think you can make them <Form> elements, as it only accepts DisplayForm, EditForm, or NewForm

Is there a way to dynamically change the hyperlink associated with an ECB menu in WSS 3.0? For instance, I have a list with 2 fields. One field is hidden and is a link, the other is the title field which has the ECB menu. The title field currently links to the item's view page - but we want it to link to the link-field's url. Is that possible?
UPDATE - 5/29/09 9AM
I have this so far. See this TechNet post.
<script type="text/javascript">
var url = 'GoTo.aspx?ListTitle='+ctx.ListTitle;
url += '&ListName='+ctx.listName;
url += '&ListTemplate='+ctx.listTemplate;
url += '&listBaseType='+ctx.listBaseType;
url += '&view='+ctx.view;
url += '&';
var a = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for(i=0;i<=a.length -1;i++)
{
a[i].href=a[i].href.replace('DispForm.aspx?',url);
}
</script>
This gives me a link like so (formatted so it's easier to see):
GoTo.aspx
?ListTitle=MyList
&ListName={082BB11C-1941-4906-AAE9-5F2EBFBF052B}
&ListTemplate=100
&listBaseType=0
&view={9ABE2B07-2B47-4390-9969-258F00E0812C}
&ID=1
My issue now is that the row in the grid gives each item the ID property above but if I change the view or do any filtering you can see that the ID is really just the row number. Can I get the actual item's GUID here?
If I can get the item's ID I can send it with the list ID to an application page that will get the right URL from field in the list and forward the user on to the right site.
I think the easiest solution and one I use regularly to modify default sharepoint functionality without having to install server side code is to inject some javascript onto the page to make the necessary modifications.
The Content Editor webpart is ideal for this if you don't want to edit the page source itself. Together with the IE Developer Toolbar or Firebug to inspect the elements you want to edit you should be able to achieve what you need with just a couple of lines of javascript.
Let me know if you need any further detail on getting this work.
The title/link to edit menu is a computed field - basically a combination of the title and item id. If you look at the definition of the field (off the top of my head I think it's in fields.xml) you should be able to create a modified version in your schema.xml that uses the url field in its RenderPattern.
Following up on Tom's answer, you can use the SharePoint Solution Generator in VseWss 1.3 to generate a Visual Studio solution that can re-create your list. You will faint when you see the huge amount of XML that the views use in the schema.xml file but you will see the render pattern that Tom referred to and you should be able to get a general idea of how to modify it to suit your needs.
Gotta love SharePoint. Where small customizations means "take what I give you or rewrite it from scratch"
