11 CSS Tips and Tricks Modify any style from a SharePoint style sheet to trigger customization –Custom CSS file (core.css) stored in _styles folder in web –Delete to turn off customization In SharePoint Designer: –Use filters in Apply Styles task pane to see just the styles used by the current page or selection –Use CSS Property Grid to analyze overrides –Use the Summary mode in CSS Property Grid to view only the set properties –Use IE Developer Toolbar or Mozilla

13 Master page concepts One page (master) holds the “chrome” Many pages point at the Master Master Page defines “Placeholders” which can be overridden in child page Master Page “Chrome” (default.master) Content Page (default.aspx)

14 Master page tokens Two dynamic tokens –~masterurl/default.master spweb.MasterUrl “System Master Page” in MOSS (For System Pages) –~masterurl/custom.master spweb.CustomMasterUrl “Site Master Page” in MOSS (For Sites) Two static tokens –~sitecollection/default.master –~site/default.master MOSS User Interface:

15 SharePoint Page Layout Spweb.masterurl default.aspx /shared documents/ allitems.aspx /_catalogs/masterpage/ default.master.aspx.master Content Pages http://myserver File System Templates \..\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\SiteTemplates SiteTemplates\STS\ default.aspx Pages\ viewpage.aspx Global\ default.master Application Pages /_layouts/ application.master.master /_layouts/ create.aspx.aspx

16 Default.master Placeholders Default.master contains ~30 placeholders, ~22 of them in the page body All of them must be defined in a replacement master

17 Demo Working with Master pages in SharePoint Designer

18 Master Page Customization Two techniques for customizing layout:  Start with a copy of default.master Remove markup around placeholder Rebuild in place  Start with a blank or minimal master page Build from ground up Copy placeholders from default.master or Minimal.master page available to download from MSDN http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa660698.aspx

19 MOSS Layout Architecture default.aspxdefault.aspx gets “chrome” from tasks/forms/ allitems.aspx pages/ gearsofwar.aspx pages/ lostplanet.aspx gets “layout” from _catalogs/masterpage/ game.aspx _catalogs/masterpage/ default.master gets “chrome” from _catalogs/masterpage/ default.master spweb.MasterUrl spweb.CustomMasterUrl WSS Layout Architecture

20 Master Page Cast of Control Characters (in order of appearance) Renders path to default CSS file for site, plus spweb.AlternateCssUrl, if specified Renders theme CSS files, if a theme is specified for the site Renders a link to a script file with a date time hash control Renders a link Custom JavaScript URL defined in onet.xml (if present) control Renders path to.disco file, which lets clients like VS2005 discover web services on the sever control

21 Allows for feature-driven, declarative determination of a Child control to render in a page control Master Page Cast of Control Characters Allows swapping of controls via feature –Example: search is basic in WSS, advanced in MOSS –Lower sequence number in feature.xml determines winner Delegate Controls: AdditionalPageHead – Free for all GlobalSiteLink0, 1, 2 – Area at top right of page SmallSearchInputBox – Search area TopNavigationDataSource PublishingConsole QuickLaunchDataSource

22 Enables web part framework on MasterPages. WebPartManagers should generally always be defined in master pages. Provides top navigation breadcrumb. Connects to SPSiteMapProvider (also used for page breadcrumb) nonvisual control Provides Welcome dropdown with per-user options. / Renders Title of the Site with a link back to the home page. Renders logo of the site if defined on the web, or the value of the LogoImageUrl property Master Page Cast of Control Characters

23 <SharePoint:AspMenu ID="TopNavigationMenu" Displays top navigation “tabs”. Renders the SiteActions dropdown. Note that the SiteActions dropdown can be extended via ‘ features’ or directly in page. In edit mode, shows the editing status of the page and provides an Exit Edit Mode button. Renders a security hash into the page; needed for performing some updates. Manages a left hand navigation control (either the Quick Launch list, or the tree view) nonvisual control Master Page Cast of Control Characters

24 Master Pages Tips and Tricks Toggle Visual Aids off for WYSIWYG view –Collapses empty placeholders Split view is your friend –Select in Design view, see source in Code view Use Master Page toolbar to select placeholders by name Use Tag Toolbar to diagnose hierarchy and make tricky selections Safety net: –Use Version History command to roll back –Use Revert command to get back to original master from site def

25 Customizing Page Layouts Office SharePoint Server Design for Publishing Pages is simple: –Browser UI for entering content (authors) –SharePoint Designer for creating/editing new Page Layouts (designers) Like ghosting, but inside the content DB Special entry point in SharePoint Content section of File : New dialog when Publishing feature is activated Special Toolbox categories appear when editing a Page Layout
