Header change in allitems.aspx for a custom list under SPSNE |
|
|
I’m attempting to change the banner for the "All Items" view of a custom list
(created from a spreadsheet import) in the "News" area, and I assumed that I
needed to change the allitems.aspx page directly at drive:\Program
Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\60\template\1033\spsnews\lists\custlist\, but changes to that file
are not reflected on the rendered page. Is that the proper file to change,
or should I change another allitems.aspx under \spsnews (there are 15
allitems.aspx files available drilling down from that level).
TIA,
Berry

Hi Berry,
The template file in the hard disk is used by Sharepoint to generate the
portal pages at the portal creation time. Most created pages are stored in
portal data source, MSDE or SQL server. So after your modification to the
allitems.aspx file, there is no any update in the portal page.
Generally spearking, please don't directly modify the portal site files in
the hard disk. The modification may cause the created portal site to work
unexpectedly. This is because the template files in hard disk may be used
by portal at the runtime, so the custom modification may produce some
hidden errors. Furthermore, the template files are used to create portal,
so any modification will affect all the portal sites created after the
modification. That is not suggested by Microsoft.
For your scenario, I'd suggest you could use the Frontpage 2003 to open the
AllItems.aspx page and then edit it fitting your requirement. Since the
page data is stored in datasource, all our modification in Frontpage 2003
will be saved in the database then. This will not affect other portal site
pages.
In addition, MSDN web site provides one series articles on the
customization of Sharepoint which may be very helpful for you:

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further question on this
matter.
