If you're like me and needed to have quite a few tiles in your Promoted Links Web Part, this should come in handy. I've seen options to install custom solutions, and i've seen options to add a javascript file to the web part to force it to go to a new line. Custom solutions?  meh. Seperate 76kb javascript file?  meh. Use what you've been given my friends; and make it simple for your siblings to see how it works. It's not entirely a simple solution, but when completed I think it is the most elegant/clean solution.  Create two Promoted Links Web Parts underneath each other and use two separate Tile Views to display everything you need.  The only way I could find to create another Tile view was to use SharePoint Designer. Navigate to list in SharePoint Designer 2013 Create new view Copy CAML Query from original Tile View to new Tile view.  Copy This Bit (Make sure you keep the old view name, display name, url): <XmlDefinition><View Name=...

The other solutions I've found regarding this involve javascript/jquery.  Was unable to find any CSS that resolves the issue nicely. This seems to have resolved the issue for me so far without compromising any other areas of the site.  It hides the initial link and then goes back to displaying the rest of the navigation as per normal: <style type="text/css"> .ms-core-listMenu-horizontalBox li.static > a{ display: none !important; } .ms-core-listMenu-horizontalBox li.static > ul a{ display: block !important; } </style> Liked this post?  Check out my other posts regarding Global Navigation here: What Should Be Allowed To Go I n Global Navigation?

UPDATE:  After looking at this again, the answer is yes, I must have been doing something silly.  Guessing the page was not fully refreshing after checking in the Master Page with the changes or something like that, as I haven't changed anything to get it to work, just re-downloaded & re-added the respond.js files. ----------------------------------------------------- I've been spending some time with the Responsive SharePoint solution I found on CodePlex here:  https://responsivesharepoint.codeplex.com/ and have come across an issue that I am yet to resolve when using Internet Exploer 8 (IE8) to view the page. Using: Bootstrap-3-server.master Issue: When using IE8, the top navigation defaults to the mobile view even when full screen (wider than 768px). This is due (i think) to IE8 not reading the .navbar-toggle inside a @media tag, which when wider than 768px, is hidden via display:none.  Normally, for a solution using bootstrap, to resolve is...

Deploying an InfoPath form Once you have developed your InfoPath form, most likely you will need to deploy/publish it to SharePoint so that the information can be stored and reported on.  There are different methods for deployment, which are also dependent on whether you are publishing a fresh form, or updating an old form. Two methods of Deploying/Publishing Forms When it comes time to deploy your form to SharePoint, there are two different methods with reasons for and against why and when you would use each.  You can publish the form as a Form Library, or as a SharePoint Content Type. Deployment Method 1:  As a Form Library When you publish a form as a Form Library, it will create the library on the SharePoint Site of your choosing, and a copy of the form template can be found here:  http://rootsite/formlibrary/forms/template.xsn Use this method when you only require one library for the forms and the forms do not get consumed by BizTalk for some ...

G'day,        Just a quick note to say if you haven't heard of it already, then you should check out this solution on CodePlex that is absolutely awesome:  http://responsivesharepoint.codeplex.com/ What it contains: - Responsive resizeable Master Pages & Page Layouts for SharePoint 2013 that work with Twitter's Bootstrap CSS. - Responsive resizeable Master Pages & Pages Layouts for SharePoint 2013 that work with Zurb's Foundation CSS. I've tried both briefly but so far prefer the Bootstrap version for the font types and colours.  Although I most of us will be making modifications to suit the clients that we are working with, they are a great starting point to Responsive Design for SharePoint that have been designed very well. If you don't have time to build your own solution from scratch, this is the perfect starting point to build on top of.  Congratulations and thank you to all who have worked on the project so far!

On a public-facing website on SharePoint 2010, I was building a simple list to be used as the Contact Us form, so that when an item is added to the list, a workflow will run which sends an email to the owner of the website. It all worked fine until I tested as an anonymous user that wasn't logged in.  I could create the item fine, but the workflow would not run.  The reason for this is, when an item is created by an anonymous user, the item does not set an author against itself (created by, modified by), which means the Workflow does not know what permissions it should use to run. Turns out there's really only one way to get around this.  Open up your old mate Visual Studio and create an Event Receiver on the ItemAdded event.  What needs to happen is as soon as the item is added to the list, the event receiver will grab the item, and set the Author value to something generic (I used the System Account), then run the workflow. (code in text at the bottom of thi...

An old teacher once asked me why people think programming is so hard.  Being someone who enjoys it, I couldn't give him a good reason.   His reply was simple.   Programming is not hard.  In fact, there are  FOUR  things you need to understand to be a programmer Programs can run commands sequentially (1 line at a time) They can loop through commands (repeat the same code multiple times) They can handle conditional statements (If, Then, Else) They can transfer control And there are only TWO things that can go wrong Syntax Error Logical Error So next time you get stuck on some mind-blowing complex piece of code, just remember...  K eep I t S imple S tupid.
