MOSS how to edit default page layouts - sharepoint

IS it is possible to change the default page layouts that can with MOSS. If so where are they stored to change?

This article by Heather Solomon (a SharePoint MVP) will give you some useful hints on how to create "layouts" or, to be more precise, master pages and how to deploy them: http://www.heathersolomon.com/blog/articles/servermstpageforsitecollect_feature.aspx

Open the page using SharePoint Designer. You'll have access to the Master Page and you'll be able to modify the layout/CSS.

SharePoint Designer 2013 Edit Site Pages

Here i have a issue with SharePoint Designer 2013, an Modern site page was build on SharePoint Online. But i need to customize the modern page and adding url to quick links.
Though modern page doesn't support CEWP or SEWP it's hard to custom the page. But what i am looking is to edit the site pages from SPD 2013 and if i edit the planner.aspx will changes save, unfortune i have Url to navigate the user from the one page to other url(https://...Planner.aspx).
What i want is when user clicks on above link, it should open in new tab and i have to align the page with Css branding. i am adding something like this to open in new tab using SPD href="/abc/xyz/3/SitePages/Planner.aspx?web=1 target="_blank" but no luck at the end.
Looking for an solution, Thanks in advance !
As far as i understand, using SharePoint Designer is not supported for modying the SharePoint modern experience.
You should be using the SharePoint Framework to modify your pages, you can see the full list of supported modifications here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/modern-experience-customizations
However, if you are used to using CEWP and SEWP, you can deploy an app which replicates the functionality in the modern pages

Atlthough this is probably not supported either, it should allow you to make the changes you want.

Customize a WebPart without "target audiences"

Hy,
I use SharePoint Foundation 2010 and I learned that the "target audiences" are disabled on the Foundation version.
I need to customize a WebPart on a wiki page when A user of a certain group is connected.
Have you an idea ?
Thanks
Sam
Alternatively you can add a new web part page in your SharePoint site
and then add this Documents web part on the page. Once it is done,
Give access to only intended users for this page. Which means control
access at page level.

I have found a solution.
I insert JavaScript code in a WebPart in my wiki page from my SharePoint.

How can we change the complete look and feel of Sharepoint Portal?

by Default there are Themes, I don't Like those. How can I modify It completely and make a professional website. I have found same Questions on this blog but all for MOSS2007. I am working on Sharepoint 2010
The way I modify sharepoint, is as I do with almost every other CMS out there combined with the power of asp .Net (Remember that as CMS' go sharepoint is a poor solution if the only thing you want is a portal. Sharepoint is first and foremost a BI Solution).
When you edit your site in sharepoint designer (Site Action -> Edit in sharepoint designer) you can see a whole lot of options.
Here you can change the default masterpage to accomodate the look and feel of your site. You will do most of the hiding stuff here (those you don't want to be seen giving them the visibility=false attribute). Here you can also include a new CSS (place it in site assets) where you can override already existing css files.
From this point on, you will be able to add web pages to the site, that will conform to the masterpage, and thus you can use all the sharepoint power (web parts and even embedded html code) keeping the look and feel you have implemented on your master page.
So what you need to do is:
Modify master page in sharepoint designer
Add css files in site assets and include them in your masterpage
Add any other aspx pages or custom web parts that you will refer to in the sharepoint site
Create web pages with sharepoint assets, web parts or custom code
Enable anonymous access for the people you want to view your portal without authenticating (Bear in mind that there are some sharepoint controls that can only be viewed by logged in users)
There are multiple ways of customizing it.
My perfered way is CSS.
Add reference to a custom css in master page using feature
Modify the look and feel by modifying sharepoint out-of-box CSS
Following resources gives all the details of SharePoint 2010 css classes.

I hope it helps.

Creating Dynamic Sitemap in SharePoint

I have developed a publishing portal in sharepoint.I have a requirement wherein I need to create sitemap for the entire web application.
This should be dynamic, in the sense, whenever we update the contents of any given page in our web application, it should be reflected immediately in the sitemap page. What are the possible ways to achieve this and which is the best possible solution considering the scalability and easy configuration?
Thank you.
If you don't want to use a custom webpart, you could use normal navigation list to create your sitemap and it is automatically updated. You only need to style it in a way to resemble some kind of sitemap.
Here are some links to get you started with customizing your navigation:
Custom Navigation in SharePoint - The Full Monty
How to: Customize Navigation
Also there is the portal site map which provides the data source for your custom menu. Just read up on custom navigation and stuff like PublishingNavigation:PortalSiteMapDataSource and SharePoint:AspMenu.
There is a nice PowerShell script to create a sitemap for SHarepoint 2010, if you want to submit your sitemap to Google: Generate A Sitemap For SharePoint 2010 Using PowerShell'.
You can also install and customize the SharePoint Web part ("Table of Contents") to your liking. Read up on it here...
Take a look at our ECS product, it is close to what you need
http://www.infowisesolutions.com/product.aspx?id=ECS
It was built as a system of cross site collection navigation, with security trimming and permissions inheritance between site collection.

What master page is used for SharePoint Site Settings pages?

I'm wanting to edit the master page that is used for the Site Settings pages in a SharePoint site. I've changed the main master page but it doesn't alter the Site Settings page. What page do I need to edit?
As Magus said that it uses Application.Master, It is not a best / recommended practice to edit any of the SharePoint page directly, Refer to this article for how to achieve what you want.
It's using the application.master Master page.
