Open termbased navigation links in new window in SharePoint 2013

-

Term based navigation has been greatly improved in SharePoint 2013, but sometimes you want to open navigation URLs in a new window. However, the term store does not offer such a property so we'll solve it using JavaScript instead.

In the masterpage element add this script:

script language="JavaScript"

// Adding an entry to _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames array so the function runs on pageLoad
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("rewriteNavigationLinks");

function rewriteNavigationLinks() {
 // collecting anchors
 var anchorArray = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
 for (var x=0; x0) 
  {
   oldUrl = anchorArray[x].outerHTML;
   // adding target attribute
   newUrl = oldUrl.replace(/#targetnewwindow/,'" target="_blank');
   anchorArray[x].outerHTML = newUrl;
  }
 }
}
/script

Then in the term store append "#targetnewwindow" on the link to activate the specific link.

E.g.
http://intranet.foo/somepagename.aspx?pid=000#openinnewwindow

Designing and programming - Part 2

-
This part of the series will handle the creative part of the cycle. You might loosely categorize the steps of the design process in three different stages. First is the creative methods - this stage contains methods that drives the design project forward adding new ideas and features to the design. However, systemizing the ideas and filtering them is also part of this stage. The next stage contains different methods of implementation. This is where the ideas meet the matter - where ideas become code and components. You get the idea:) The third and last stage is perhaps the most crucial one. This is where you test and evaluate your results. It is now that you have to decide whether the implementations meet with the requirements and visions of the design. The outcome of this stage will determent if the prototype is ready for some real world testing, also called a beta. Anyways, after clearing that up, the creative stage is what this part of the series will be all about. The Creati...

Power Pages Manifest Explained related to Collaborative Development and ALM

-
In the Microsoft Power Pages, understanding the nuances of configuration files like the `manifest.yml` and environment-specific manifests (e.g., `dev.crm4.dynamics.com-manifest.yml`) is crucial. These files play a significant role in managing and deploying Power Pages sites, particularly in collaborative and ALM contexts. Understanding the Manifest.yml File First of all, always refer to the official documentation on how the power platform cli tool is supported. Creation and Usage Creation : The manifest.yml is generated through the pac powerpages download command. It serves as a snapshot of the Power Pages site's configuration, capturing details like page templates, form settings, and access permissions. Example: When you run this command, it creates a manifest.yml file that includes details of all the components such as web forms, entity lists, and site settings configured in the Power Pages site. Usage : The pac powerpages upload command utilizes the manifest.yml file to updat...

Execute Canvas rendering based on scroll event.

I have been showing animations using canvas in several blog posts lately and implemented a lot of this in my own homepage. Now, if you are doing animations you need to plan how the animations should execute so that the user does not miss the whole show. :) You might want to kick off the animation on a click, or even on a long page – start the animation once the user scrolls down to the animations position. There would be little use in an animation if the show were over when the user gets to it, right? Now, you can hook on to the browsers events using the window object or the document object. The click event I’ve already covered in this post . For the scroll event you need to grab the window object. The easiest way to do this is to use JQuery and extend the scroll event. In this example I’ve added a delay before kicking of the animation. I’ve also calculated the position the user should scroll to before firing the event handler. var target = $("#mainSectionFootprint...
