Is there a "quick reference" guide or "cheat sheet" type document for each of the available options within the "Site Settings" page in Sharepoint 2007 ?
The settings page that I'm talking about is shown in this image: http://i38.tinypic.com/wmgqv7.png and is the one accessed via the "Site Actions" drop-down on the right-hand side of the screen as shown below:
These are all of the "Site Settings" grouped into categories such as "Users And Permissions", "Look and Feel", "Galleries" & "Site Administration".
What I'm ideally looking for is a sort of "cheat sheet" that lists each of these options, perhaps as bullet-points, and provides a quick small paragraph of text that describes each option.
For example, I'd like to see something like the sample below, but for each of the options available within the "Site Settings" configuration page:
Look And Feel
Title, description, and icon
This option allows you to enter a textual name for the site along with a
description and icon. The title and
icon are displayed in the "header"
area on the top of each page within
the site and the description is
displayedon the main area of the
site's default or home page.
Here's the best I could find: SharePoint 2007 administration part VI: Site administration

I've got a new SharePoint Teams site that I'll be building out as a knowledge repository. We'll be creating articles in the "Site Pages" area, though happy to use a new Wiki Page Library if that makes it easier.
I'm trying to amend the Search Query used in the "All" vertical, so that it shows only results from the Site Pages. To test this, I've created a word document in the documents section and named it "Apples WORD.docx" and a Wiki page called "Apples WIKI". When I search for "Apples", I should only see "Apples WIKI" in my results.
I can't seem to figure out the query required to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
So I've got this working now.
First I renamed an existing managed property by doing the following.
Go to the Site Settings, then Under the 'Site Collection Administration' go to "Search Schema".
Find an available RefinableStringXX managed property; edit it and give it an Alias. Add a mapping to "ContentTypeID".
Back out to the Site Settings then under 'Web Designer Galleries' click on "Site content types".
Find "Wiki Pages" and click on it to find the Content Type ID (which was 0x010108).
Back out to the Site Settings then under 'Microsoft Search', click on "Configure Search Settings".
Click on Verticals, then double click on the vertical that you want to edit. Click the Edit button at the bottom of the page.
Click on 'Query' and enter the text "ContentTypeID:0x010108*"
Save the vertical.
By editing the "All" vertical, the default 'current site' search from the site's homepage now only shows Wiki Page articles.
Maybe you could try adding the search vertical to the search navigation web part to set up a search page for displaying Site Pages.

I'm using Sharepoint 2010 foundation. We have a list available on the site that we use to manage work items. Normally, the options to view detailed list content are "View Item" and "Edit Item". It looks like someone accidentally deleted the list view for the "view item" page, so that when anyone opens an item, all they see is the list item title and a big blank box in the middle. Does anyone know how to restore the list view for a single list item so that we can view the item contents?
Alright; if your form was a non modified-form without further extensions or modifications you have only a few clicks ahead of you, otherwise: you better have a backup.
Disclaimer: I am using the german version of SPD, but the controls are at the same positions as in the English version. See screenshots for clarifications
Open up SharePoint Designer 2010
Open your SP Site
Open the list in question
Click on "new" (see Screenshot below)
Fill out the form (Enter name, check form to view, and default form)
Boom - you're good to go again. Save it.

I have used pages to display tabs.I have a problem my content of tab and its first sub tab is same.And i am tring a way through which url could be shared by two. In control panel you have friendly url when i try to use one url for both-it shows friendly url has to be unique. Like TAB_A has TAB_A,TAB_A1,TAB_A2,TAB_A3 as sub pages. And TAB_A(parent page) and TAB_A(child page) should be same.

TAB_A
TAB_A1
TAB_A2
TAB_A3
please help if it has themes involved what is to be done.
Yes, they can. One of this two pages can be of type "Link to Page".
To make parent page a link to child page:
Choose "Control Panel" -> "Site Pages"
Choose parent page
Choose "Link to page" in the combobox "Type"
Choose child page in the appeared combobox "Link to Page"
I have a Sharepoint 2007 site that is displaying the old/original title in the Breadcrumb rather then the updated Page title... help!
Under "Site Content and Structure" I went to "[SiteName] > Pages > [Page] > Edit Page Settings..." which took me to "Page Settings". Here I edited "Page Title and Description > Title" to the new title, simple and done. But the site Breadcrumb is still showing the old title!??!
When I go into "Site Content and Structure > [SiteName] > Settings > Site Settings... > Navigation", under "Navigation Editing and Sorting" I get the list of Pages with their old titles (as is being displayed in the Breadcrumb). As they are Pages the "Edit..." button is disabled so I cannot change their titles here.
I cannot believe a bug this stupid made it into a major release! It's pretty obovious the page titles are being cached somewhere at creation and not updated later. It's this cache that the Navigation is using rather then the current page titles. But I have been unable to locate this mythical cache. And it doesn't look like I can access the sitemap.xml at my access level (grr!), can I get to this via the webUI (I've always done it in the source directories, which I cannot see).
So... where in the hell is the Breadcrumb getting the page titles from, and can I change this (preferably non-programaticially as I am but a simple MOSS editor on this project)?
If you are able to access the Site Collection Administration at the top level, you can access the Site collection object cache, the site collection cache profiles, and the site collection output cache. If you go into the settings of these items, you can check a box to "flush" the cache, that should reset it.
I've converted a Custom List forms to use InfoPath forms using SharePoint Designer, now I want to revert this back and return to the normal New, Edit and Details forms.
How can I achieve this?
Edit: Here is what I did
In SharePoint Designer 2010 I Clicked on Lists and Libraries
Click on the List I modified
In the Ribbon I select Design Forms in InfoPath in Actions Group
I started to design the form like I want
I published the modifications to the List
Now I want to undo what I did and return to the normal New, Edit and Details forms
List -> List Settings -> there is some InfoPath forms server settings link that leads to the page where you can remove customization.
Changing default Edit/New pages will not help - you need to modify pages for default content type of this list if you want to go this route.
You should be able to do this in SharePoint without needing SP Designer.
Navigate to the list in SharePoint.
On the List ribbon bar, click List Settings.
Under General Settings, click Form Settings link (bottom of first column).
Select the Use the default SharePoint Form option.
You can also opt to delete the custom form by checking Delete the InfoPath Form from the server.
If you created new forms, in sharepoint designer, set the orginal dispform.aspx, editform.aspx and upload.aspx as default.
if you changed the original files, from the navigation pane, go to "All files" --> "/lists/your list" or "your library" --> forms.
Right click the changed files (a blue icon should be present) and then click on "Reset to site definition"
Please note that if you go into the List Settings and click on Form Settings you should see "Infopath" or "Sharepoint" as an option. If you do not see that the form hasn't been checked back in. Open the form back up in Infopath, Publish the form, then go back to your sharepoint list settings and select "Form Settings" from there you should now see the sharepoint option. Select that and you should be good.
If you are looking to hide some of the questions but still see them in Data View (alot of the reason why some of us are doing our forms in infopath) you can actually hide some of them by going to "Advanced Settings" and turning on "Allow Management of Content Types" then going into content type by selecting your list, and from there you can make all the changes by clicking on the column item. This is a great way to hide columns you don't need everyone seeing that you may need to make updates to (lookup columns etc)
