When a list item has an attachment, SharePoint automatically renders a paperclip image for that particular row, which indicates that the item has an attachment. Is there any way to change the image that is rendered?
The site is in a shared hosting environment, so I can't simply replace the image on the file system. Also, there are other lists that are part of the same site that should use the default image.
Is there any way to change the image that is rendered for items with an attachment on an individual list basis?
EDIT: Following is the HTML that is rendered:
<td class="ms-vb2">
<img align="absbottom" src="http://devsandbox/_layouts/images/attach.gif" alt="Attachment"/>
</td>
The only real way you'll be able to do this is to use jQuery (or some other javascript library). You'll need to locate the elements you want to update on the page and change the URL's
$('img[src*=attach.gif]').each(function() {
$(this).attr('src', '/path/to/new/image.png');
}
My jQuery may be a touch wrong but that should be near enough to give you an idea of what to do
Edit - The best way to have this down would be via a custom WebPart which renders the JavaScript. This way it can easily be dropped into any page you want
i don't know which element off the top, but I would look for it in one of the stylesheets and use SharePoint designer to do the replacement work for a specific list.
Use Firebug to inspect the element that you want to revert. This will tell you the css class and other properties used by that element. Then write your own class and add it to the core.css file or if you want, add it to the css for the Site/Site Collection through the MasterPages link in Site Settings.
EDIT
I used firebug to look at an image in SharePoint and here is how it is rendering.
<img id="img_1-2_" class="rpo-gif rpo-gif-2" border="0" style="padding: 0px;" alt="Expand/Collapse" src="/_layouts/images/minus.gif"/>
As you can see it is using a class and setting a src to '/_layouts/images/minus.gif'. Well you can go find that file in the 12Hive directory and then replace it with an image of your choice that has the same name.

Currently our content editors creates a flowchart in visio - and now we're trying to figure out the best way of allowing them to embed that in a kentico website.
We get them currently to export and add as a media library image which doesn't allow the content editor to hyperlink items in the flowchart to pages which could have more information.
Some other options we have considered:
exporting visio flowchart to pdf and displaying that pdf in the browser instead of the image.
third party tool that would host the flowchart content which we then embed into the kentico website using an iframe.
visio exporting the flowchart as html - but that includes a folder and various files which seems painful to integrate with our kentico website.
Just wondering if anyone else has any recommended approaches that we might not be considering?
Essentially there are many ways to solve this issue. You can go with a classic way (image with set of areas defined)
Use some online tools like http://www.image-maps.com/ to create an image map. You can use static text web part and paste your html there:
<img alt="someImage" src="~/Images/someimage.jpg" usemap="#ImageMap" />
<map name="ImageMap" id="ImageMap">
<area shape="rect" coords="727,25,907,89" href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank" alt="Your Alt Text Here..." />
<area shape="rect" coords="309,25,646,98" href="home.aspx" alt="Your Alt Text Here..." />
</map>
You can even clone for example editable image web part, adjust its properties to your needs (i.e. to area map property), but you still have to use outside tools to create an image map.
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 need to make a footer in Liferay and use theme for it. What's the simpliest way to do it?
I have created new theme, filled _diffs folder with other folders, but it's empty and I couldn't find relevant docs about this. Should I copy all basic files there? What should I change to create footer?
In Liferay, theme's portal_normal.vm serves as the template to
construct HTML structure of the page. There you define your header,
body and footer includes.
When you will look at the portal_normal.vm of classic theme, you will observe following HTML snippet:
<footer id="footer" role="contentinfo">
<p class="powered-by">
#language ("powered-by")
Liferay
</p>
</footer>
This is the footer of the page. This is what you need to implement. However, it's not necessary to use footer tag at all, as you can simply use div or table based structure with bootstrap or customized CSS classes for your footer, it's upto your requirement.
Remember! Classic theme is just like a sample provided by Liferay, so, it's not good idea to directly customize it.
Everybody needs a whole customized view of the site, and for this the best idea is to create a custom theme (that's what you are doing!), that will give you full control over your look-n-feel.
To kick-start, you can initially copy required folders from classic theme to your customized theme's (_diffs folder) and start changing bit by bit.
How can I style the background of a content query webpart in SharePoint 2010?
I have been having a look around, and can't seem to figure it out. I am able to edit the individual item styles using the ItemStyle.xsl file in SharePoint designer, but I need a background image on the container.
I have referenced the class that is generated by SharePoint - 'WebPartWPQ4' - in CSS, and made it work that way, but that changes the styles for all web parts in the system. (This also feels like a bit of a hack)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It is totally okay that you try to override custom styles in your css (although 'WebPartWPQ4' is not the best choice). However, to get what you need, just ensure that the web part you want to style has some wrapper around it and change selector in your css to .wrapper > .WebPartWPQ4 so that only this instance of the web part gets styled.
The way I have solved this is to wrap the webpart zone in a div in the .aspx page file.
You can then reference this div in a css file.
I've been searching high and low for a satisfactory answer to this and failed. I hope StackOverflow can deliver for me!
I am using SharePoint Foundation 2010 (my first real attempt to deep dive into SharePoint), with (among other things) a custom web part; the master page for the site uses a CSS file supplied by the client and to which I must adhere. The issue I am having is that SharePoint, by adding several SharePoint specific CSS classes to the web part HTML structure, is conflicting with the client's styling. After some digging, I've found that the ms-WPBody class and its various element selectors are the chief culprits.
I could add !important to everything in the client style sheet, but that is verboten. I could insert some very messy styling into the child content of the web part in an attempt to override the SharePoint styling, which is the course I've been pursuing of late, but it's been getting messy. Or, I could try to remove the class from the web part, which brings me to my question:
How can I remove or otherwise override the CSS class names inserted into the HTML structuring for a SharePoint web part? I don't know enough of the inner workings of SharePoint to know what to hook to make this change, and my google-fu is fail on the subject. CssClass on the ASP.NET web control markup is obviously ignored, probably some holdover inherited from WebControl.
Help me StackOverflow! You're my only hope!
Edit
I apologize for not making it clear before, but I would like to state that I grok CSS and am not looking for help with styling. What I really am looking for is how to remove the CSS class emitted by SharePoint. Can anyone help there? I'm going to remove the CSS tag, since that appears to be confusing people. This question isn't really about CSS, it's about SharePoint.
CSS has to match the html that it is applied to - with generated html like that produced by SharePoint (or standard asp.net webforms for that matter) it is usually far easier to modify the css. If adding important is not an option you can usually do something using more specific selectors - ie a style defined as "table td" will override one for "td" though they actually select all the same elements. You can use this approach to undo any bits of sharepoint styling that are causign issues.
If you really want to change the classes sharepoint puts on the page, use jquery - trying to do that server side is really not something you want to get into on your first sharepoint project.
I'm not sure I follow, but why not wrap your webpart in a container div and then style to your heart's content:
<style type="text/css">
.ms-WPBody {
background-color:red;
}
#myCustomCss p
{
background-color:Blue;
}
</style>
<div class=ms-WPBody>
<div id=MyCustomCSS>
<p>Hello world</p>
</div>
</div>
In 2007, we had to worry about making sure your stylesheet was named last alphabetically so that it was applied correctly. Prefix your css file with z to see if it helps.
Here's a reference article about the issue:
http://singchan.com/2009/12/29/branding-sharepoint-2010-collaboration-sites-part-2-in-a-series/
Here's some typical Web Part HTML:
<div style=""
allowexport="false"
allowdelete="false"
class="ms-WPBody ms-wpContentDivSpace"
width="100%"
id="WebPartctl00_m_g_d0420a1c_44b7_4009_81c9_2bbcf9b325e9"
haspers="false"
webpartid="d0420a1c-44b7-4009-81c9-2bbcf9b325e9">
<div id="ctl00_m_g_d0420a1c_44b7_4009_81c9_2bbcf9b325e9">
Web Part Content goes here...
</div>
</div>
The trick is that the Web Part itself is the inner DIV (and all its children). The outer DIV (the one with the ms-WPBody class) is the WebPartZone. This control is sealed, but you can write an Adapter that will render the WebPartZone however you want. Most of the examples are for table-less rendering, you could write one that maintains the existing structure, but removes the classes.
To me, coding all of that and then registering it in the compat.browser of App_Browsers for the Web Application seems like overkill, so I'd probably go with jQuery (but if you do the Adapter, I'd love see it).
Or just add a Content Editor Web Part and override the CSS style element in the HTML:
<style type="text/css">
.ms-stylebox {
border:o important;
}
</style>
-- Peace!
how are you loading your CSS file? IF you are loading it in part of the head of your master page, or through just setting a custom.css, you can try loading it outside of the head. This should cause it to load after core.css and therefore allow you to override the standard classes as needed.
