Alternative way to Change Site Logo

OOTB SharePoint allows you to change the logo of the page from the default:  titlegraphic.gif image to another image by going into site settings > Title, Description, and Icon.

The following method is a way to add a new logo to your page with just CSS. If you wanted to make this more global you will need to use an alternate method to override the default CSS classes.

  • Upload your new logo to either the server or to a list on your site.
  • Add a Content Editor webpart to the page.
  • Add in the following to the source viewer.

<STYLE>
.ms-titleimagearea{
background-image:url("/_layouts/images/xyzcorp.gif");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top left;
}
#ctl00_onetidHeadbnnr0{
visibility: hidden;
height:130px;
width: 126px;
}
</STYLE>

  • In the example above I have uploaded the xyzcorp.gif logo to the images folder on the server.
  • Make sure you modify the elements above in bold green: logo name, height, and width (of logo).
  • Save the page and you should now have the new logo on the page.

SharePoint 2010 Base CSS Classes

This will be the first of many SharePoint 2010 posts. I will be focusing on a few of the main CSS classes used for SharePoint 2010 Public Beta. As the product becomes more final there might be some changes to the class names but I will be sure to create a new post if that happens. This will be quite a lengthy but it should be helpful. The default CSS given below are just highlights of the full CSS attributes for that class. I will be using a basic team site as my base for the screenshots. Here is a basic structure of the main areas that I will cover.

SharePoint 2013 Responsive Table Columns

I have been wanting to write this one for a while now. It is really amazing how UX is really finding is way into everything that we use and interact with. From Custom applications both mobile and on a desktop to document management or large data visualizations. There is always room for better usability and new concepts. SharePoint lists and library functionality really has not changed much for the past 10 years... I remember back in 2003 when I saw the same table/grid based views of documents and list items that exists in SharePoint 2013. But now we can look at them in a whole new way! In this video blog you will see how to create a responsive CSS table so that when the browser size is reduced it will hide specific columns. However hiding data is not always the right thing to do. What if a user needed those columns to filter on or to use for comparison to another document? Well that is where the custom jQuery Column chooser comes in. It allows you to see what columns are displ

SharePoint 2010 Content Query for Blog Posts

I hope this post will help many of you feel comfortable with using the Content Query Web Part. In this post I will walk you through the process of creating a content query web part and configuring it to show custom field types. I will also give details on how to use XSLT to stylize and format the data being pulled. I will be using the following scenario as an example. Say that you had a site collection with a top level publishing site. This publishing site would display a the most recent blog posts from all blog sites within its own site collection. To solve this problem we will use a Content Query Web Part and a customized ItemStyle.xsl using XSLT. Please note that the “SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure” needs to be enabled at the site collection to display the content query web part. Step 1: Add a Content Query Web Part to Page Navigate to the site that you want the blog posts to show up and click on edit page. Under Editing Tools in the Ribbon, Click on
