To hide the “Page -“text from the page title

Open the BlankWebPartPage.aspx in the page designer and remove the tag highlighted in green.

However, sometimes the Page Layouts link is missing. This is a common scenario:

•you have a subsite in a site collection

•the publishing feature is activated in the subsite, but not in the site collection

•you want to edit/add page layouts on the site collection level, to be used within your subsite

•when you open the site collection in SharePoint Designer, you can’t see Page Layouts in the Site Objects panel You now have 2 options: you can either activate the publishing feature in the site collection (and the Page Layouts link comes back), or you can use the All Files link and browse to the master pages and page layouts library (_catalogs > masterpage.) Either option will do, unless you really don’t want the publishing feature in the site collection

 

We had a requirement to hide the new item button, edit button etc. from a List View Web Part.

 

The way we achieved it was using a Content Editor Web Part and pointing it to Jscript File with the following CSS,

By finding the following id(s) and setting display as none.

List View with hidden controls.

We were getting this error in one of our pages in SharePoint.

Just verify the Content Link it might not be pointing to correct url in the Content Editor Web Part.

Hope it helps..

Hi,

Had a requirement to check if user is a SharePoint Admin or not and accordingly hide few elements in the page. We used the below code in our custom master page

Sample Code

var currentUser;

function IsUserAdmin() {
clientContext = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
spWeb = clientContext.get_web();
currentUser = spWeb.get_currentUser();
clientContext.load(currentUser);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
}

function onQuerySucceeded(sender, args) {

var isUserAdmin = currentUser.get_isSiteAdmin();
if (isUserAdmin) {

alert('Current User is Administrator');

} else {

alert('Current User is not an Administrator');
}
}

function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {

alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() +
'\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
}

ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(GetCount, "sp.js");

Hope it helps ..

Just sharing a sample script that we are using to create a web application and a site collection of type publishing in it.

 

# SharePoint cmdlets
Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell</pre>
# Set variables
$WebAppName = "MyAppPool"
$WebAppHostHeader = "servername"
$WebAppPort = "portnumber"
$url = "http://servername"
$WebAppAppPool = "MyAppPool"
# This User has to be a Sharepoint Manager Account
$WebAppAppPoolAccount = "domain\username"
$AuthenticationMethod = "NTLM"
$ap = New-SPAuthenticationProvider -UseWindowsIntegratedAuthentication -DisableKerberos

# Create a new Sharepoint WebApplication
New-SPWebApplication -Name $WebAppName -Port $WebAppPort -HostHeader $WebAppHostHeader -URL $url -ApplicationPool $WebAppAppPool -ApplicationPoolAccount (Get-SPManagedAccount $WebAppAppPoolAccount) -AuthenticationMethod $AuthenticationMethod -AuthenticationProvider $ap

# Set variables
$SiteCollectionName = "MySiteCollection"
$SiteCollectionURL = "http://servername:portnumber/"
$SiteCollectionTemplate = "BDR#0"
$SiteCollectionLanguage = 1033
$SiteCollectionOwner = "LSS\lssspadmin"

# Create a new Sharepoint Site Collection
New-SPSite -URL $SiteCollectionURL -OwnerAlias $SiteCollectionOwner -Language $SiteCollectionLanguage -Template $SiteCollectionTemplate -Name $SiteCollectionName

Hope it helps ..
