I've gone with a Publishing Site Collection so that I can use the 'Alternate CSS URL' in Site Settings > Master Page.

First off, thanks to the following websites which helped get me started:
Here's what the end result will look like (if you have the same fonts):


Now for the CSS...

    Hi Brett,

    Thank you for the great post on branding with CSS. It really helped me out for branding our sites. I am noticing some issues on our collaboration site recently. Can you please help me with the below?

    We recently migrated from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint Online. The Global Navigation in one of our sites has many links to other sites. With this, we are getting a horizontal scroll bar.

    I would like to know how we can wrap the Global Navigation Menu in SPO. Please help advise your thoughts.

    Thank you.

      Hi Subhash, first thing I'd say is if you can, use modern team sites instead and convince the business they don't need a fully customised look/feel.

      If that's not possible, I'm not certain but I'd say focus on this particular piece of CSS , probably need to modify the display: setting & width.

      /* NAVIGATION (TOP NAV BAR)
      -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- */

      /* Placement & Formatting */
      .ms-breadcrumb-top > .ms-core-navigation {
      background: #FFF;
      display: block;
      height: 41px;
      width: 100%;
      text-align: left;
      }

    Hi Baretta,
    Thank you very much for your post it really helped me a lot. I have one question though, i couldn't resize the site logo image even if i kept playing with this section. Any ideas please?
    .ms-siteicon-a {
    background: #fff url('../Images/siteIcon.png') no-repeat right; /* Logo image */
    width: 100px; /* Width of logo image */
    max-width: 100px; /* Duplicate the width value */
    height: 52px; /* Height of logo image */
    max-height: 52px; /* Duplicate the height value */

    Thank you.

      Hey, sorry only just saw this. I personally wouldn't use my advice on this post anymore. Stick with 'Themes' and the Modern Way of doing things in SharePoint, no more custom code!

      Save yourself lots of time and pain :)

What If you need to do either of these things, then this article is for you: Create a copy of a table in the same environment as the original table Create a copy of a table but want a different prefix against custom column names Why In most circumstances, if you need to duplicate a dataverse table, I would suggest to bundle it inside a solution, and migrate the solution to another environment.   However, in the scenario where you need the duplicate table to be inside the same environment, here's a quick method that requires no manual creation of columns! How Short answer : Install  XRMToolBox , inside XRMToolBox, install and utilise the Clone Field Definitions Plugin  from the Tool Library. Pre-Tasks In order to clone a table with a new PREFIX value for the columns you first need to do the following: Create a new PUBLISHER with the new prefix you would like Create a new TABLE where you will be cloning all the fields.

Microsoft Flow - Apply To Each Limitation (5000 items)

-
Image
What Had a situation where I was pulling back 70,000 items in an array from a REST API call.  I wanted to create a SharePoint item for each of the items in an array, however the 'Apply To Each' action kept giving me the following error: ActionFailed . An action failed. No dependent actions succeeded. Why This was due to a Microsoft Flow limitation. When you are using the Free Version of MS Flow you are limited to 5,000 items in a loop .  Explained here:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/flow/limits-and-config Workaround I tried my best to come up with a workaround, tried splitting up the array into batches of 5,000.  All to no avail.  in the end, gave up, and saved the array of items to a CSV and saved the CSV in a SharePoint Library instead. body('Parse_JSON')?['applist']?['apps'] The only other alternative I could come up with is to grab the 'first 4999 items' from the array, which does work with an expression like this: ...
