Adventure (doesn’t) work – SharePoint Theme

25/08/2010 un commentaire

Let’s put aside the fact that the « Adventure works » theme in SharePoint has justified text everywhere…

I have been wondering how to change the company in the footer of the page:
Screenshot of the "adventure works" theme

Well, it is defined in the master page OrangeSingleLevel.master with:

<asp:Literal runat="server" Text="<%$Resources:cms,masterpages_companyname_linktext%>"/>

This mean that modifying the company name requires to:

  • change the master page on each site that uses this theme to use your own resource file, eg. replace Resources:cms by Resources:brandedcms
  • create a new resource file brandedcms.resx and package it in a solution
  • ask a system administrator to deploy this solution

In a word: it’s painful. My recommandation: don’t do follow Microsoft practices.

I think the best practice is to place such variables in a list, so that anyone can edit them ; resource file should be used only to store (language dependant) constants.

Gizmodo was a true Oracle when they wrote:

the home, menu, back and search keys did feel a bit cheap in comparison to the high-end feeling of the rest of the handset

I took my phone out of my pocket and discovered with horror that the « back » and « search » buttons were torn off.

They still work, though… For how long?

Je trouve vraiment incompréhensible que Solidays ne diffuse pas l’agenda des concerts (ou alors c’est rudement bien caché).
