I have a fresh installation of SharePoint 2010. Playing around with it I accidentally set the home page to a Document Store (I was logged in as admin). How can I reset the homepage to display the original options before I converted it to a Document Store?
I tried Site Actions -> Reset site definition, but that didn't help.
Solution
SharePoint does not allow site definitions to be changed. The page that allows site definitions to be selected ([YOUR-SITE]/_layouts/templatepick.aspx) says:
Template Selection A site template determines what lists and features
will be available on your new site. Select a site template based on
the descriptions of each template and how you intend to use the new
site. Many aspects of a site can be customized after creation.
However, the site template cannot be changed once the site is created.
To select a page to be the home page, navigate to that page and click on the Page ribbon. You will see 'Make Homepage' button in the 'Page Actions' section of the ribbon then, confirm the action in the pop-up prompt that shows up.

I am a new user to LiveCycle (LiveCycle ES4 to be exact) and am having an issue with my second Master Page. I only want the second Mast Page to appear if the content from Page 1 overflows onto Page 2. I have tried changing the "Presence" on the second MasterPage to Hidden but the program won't allow me to choose any option other than Visible.
I have tried Google and Adobe and both have basic information regarding Master Pages but nothing specific enough to help me in this situation. Actually, I haven't been able to find a source with any real helpful information regarding LiveCycle.
On the main page that represents your flowed page, in the Object properties tab, if you select the Pagination tab, you can set overflow properties of this page to use your second master page (ensure it is named so you can reference it). If your first page never overflows, then you should never see the other master page.
I am working on creating a SharePoint 2010 site in which I have placed the content in wiki libraries. I want to have a feedback textbox on every page. On clicking submit, there are two options, I can store the feedback text in yet another custom SharePoint list or configure it to send an email.
Please guide me on how to go about adding the feedback textbox ?
thanks in advance
You can do this with the out of the box "Note Board" web part in the "Social Collaboration" section. You can add it to the page layout if you have publishing enabled. This will add it to every wiki page.
If you don't have publishing enabled, you will have to add the web part to each page individually.
This has the added advantage of leveraging the existing social features in SharePoint 2010. Meaning you will be able to see the notes you have added from your MySite and it will be shared with colleagues.
I am working with SharePoint 2010. I am looking for creating a custom menu that could be placed on Master page of my site collection. Could you please give me a start on this. I don't want to use existing menus on default master page. I would rather like to have my own master page with my custom menu links with sub menus.
A basic idea would be that I will have a XML file with menu items defined I want to give liberty to the user to make changes to XML file somehow that add/edit or remove the links. Also I want the menu to be user role based (Items could be disabled for unauthorized users).
I want to have a webpart working when a file is open. I saw that text files are open in a blank page, but Excel files are open within a SharePoint page, in which I cannot edit/see a web part zone.
So, I was wondering if it's possible to add a webpart in that view, so I can execute some actions when a file is open.
Thanks in advance!
The page opened is XLViewer.aspx from the layouts directory. It is bad practice to edit out of the box files so I would copy the file into a custom directory and then add a web part zone to it. I would then use jquery to change the onclick event of the Excel file links to point to your custom page.
Alternatively, XLViewer.aspx uses minimal.master as its master page, so you could add your web part to minimal.master in SharePoint Designer. I would then code the web part to be dormant unless the page is XLViewer.aspx.
I want to display a list item in a different detail page, not dispform.aspx, not in modalbox. Page must be inherit site masterpage, layout page and must be in portal sitemap like publishing page.
Breadcrumb must be like this:
Company Intranet > Announcements > Product request formm updated!
Is there any way for do that?
Chaning the System Master to publishing master page will render all the forms with Same UI as you see in Home page.
You can change it in this Location http://yousite/_layouts/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx You have to do this in site where you what to see this change.
To Prevent the popup forms Go to List Settings->Advanced Settings and turn off the Dialog.
Also to change default Form of List you have multiple forms
Create a New Form (Link is for 2007 same applies for 2010 as well) in SharePoint Designer and Associate it to the List.
Use Infopath to create a Custom Form
Develop a new Webpart that will do Add Edit etc and Add it to the Default Forms.
