Thanks to Lytebox!

In a nutshell Lytebox improved version of Lightbox class that embed media and presents in a rich end user experience. Read more at http://www.huddletogether.com/2007/04/16/lightbox-203-released/
And http://www.dolem.com/lytebox/

Let's get into Share Point Integration:
1. Create a document library which can be used for Centralized sharing purpose.

2. Download Lytebox v3.22 http://www.dolem.com/lytebox/lytebox_v3.22.zip

3. Upload lytebox. Js , lytebox.css & Images into above created document library.

4. I took a power point presentation and converted all the slides into .jpg (Image) files

5. Upload all those Image files into another document library (I called it Help, since I was dealing with help docs to present in a very rich user experience.)

Note: Name the Image files such a way that you can related it back to your slides
Ex: Presentation Name_Slide number ==> Booking Coordinator Instructions_1.jpg

6. Add Content Editor web part.

7. Now Lytebox Includes
<script language="javascript" src="/Documents/Overlay/lytebox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<link media="screen" href="/Documents/Overlay/lytebox.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">

8. Now add Images for slide show; we need to use "LYTESHOW" as REL attribute


9. Hit save and exit from the edit mode of the page.

10. End results on the Pages.


11. User Experience after launching the link.


Some other Usage of this great class:
You can have external page displayed as overlay.

1. Add this code (assumption is that you already added step 7)


2. Results on Share Point Page


3. Google Search Results


4. Custom Search page.

var CordTxt= varIf.substring(varIf.indexOf('(')+1,varIf.length-1); // Extract the 'Y' coordinates
cord[i]=CordTxt;

Hide View All Site Content Menu And Site Action Menu

Some time we need to hide View All Site Content & Site Action Menu from normal user so that they won't mess around.

Add Content Editor webpart, to the page and add below code to it.
<style>
/* TO REMOVE MY SITE LINK */
#ctl00_PlaceHolderGlobalNavigation_ctl08_hlMySite{display:none;}
/* TO REMOVE MY LINKS */
#ctl00_PlaceHolderGlobalNavigation_ctl09_MyLinksMenuMenu_t{display:none;}
/* TO REMOVE SEARCH */
.ms-sbrow{display:none;}

/* TO REMOVE SITE ACTION MENU */
.ms-siteactionsmenu{display:none;}

/* TO REMOVE VIEW All SITE CONTENT MENU */
.ms-quicklaunchheader{display: none;}

/* TO REMOVE RECYCLE BIN */
.ms-recyclebin{display:none;}
</style>
Boom you are done and results:


Hide Whole Master Page:
<style type="text/css">
.ms-globalbreadcrumb{display:none}
.ms-globalTitleArea {display:none}
.ms-bannerframe{display:none}
.ms-titlearealeft{display:none}
.onetidPageTitleAreaTable{display:none}
.ms-quickLaunch{display:none}
.ms-navframe{display:none}
.ms-titlearearight{display:none}
.ms-pagetitleareaframe{display:none}
.ms-pagemargin{display:none}

.ms-pagebottommarginright{ display:none}
.ms-leftareacell{ display:none}
.ms-pagebottommargin{ display:none}
</style>

Preserving/Updating CreatedBy and ModifiedBy

You might have a scenario where by you want to migrate the list data from one site another site list manually instead of .STP file
Or you use Run With Elevated Privileges ( with delegate()) to insert a record into library where by normal user don't have contribute rights but only READ access Or you need to update one or more fields in a library and you want to preserve Created By and Modified By data.

Here is the Pseudocode:
If Current User is Super user OR Preserver user details is false
Normal Insert
Else
Run the Code With Elevated Privileges to Insert
Then Restore User Details
End If

Code for Restore User Details (C#):

private void RestoreUserDetails(string sitename, string libname, int itemId, int sharePointUserID, string UserLoginName)
{
using (SPSite siteColl = new SPSite(sitename))
{
using (SPWeb web = siteColl.OpenWeb())
{
SPList Legal = web.Lists[libname];
SPListItem LegalItem = Legal.GetItemById(itemId);

//SPFieldUserValue oUser = new SPFieldUserValue(web, web.CurrentUser.ID, web.CurrentUser.LoginName);
SPFieldUserValue oUser = new SPFieldUserValue(web, sharePointUserID, UserLoginName);

LegalItem["Author"] = oUser.User.ID;
LegalItem["Editor"] = oUser.User.ID;
LegalItem.Update();

}
}
}

Deactivating the Multiple Documents Option for Upload

We had a business requirement to block the "Upload Multiple Documents" Option for the document library. So add "Content Editor Web Part" check the "Hide" under layouts section.
Then add below code under Source Editor and you are done!.

<script type="text/javascript">
function GetElementByText(tagName, title)
{
var a = document.getElementsByTagName(tagName);

for (var i=0; i < a.length; i++)
{
if (a[i].text)
{
if (a[i].text === title)
{
return a[i];
}
}
}
return null;
}

if (window.onload)
{
var oLoad = window.onload;
window.onload = function bodyLoad()
{
oLoad();
var oMenu = GetElementByText("ie:menuitem","Upload Multiple Documents");
if (oMenu )
{
oMenu .disabled = true;
}
}
}

</script>

Note: If you want to deactivate the Upload Document change the var oMenu ;
var oMenu = GetElementByText("ie:menuitem","Upload Documents");
