Default Install "News" area

Asked By: Elvis Roth Date: Sep 16, 2005 Category: Sharepoint Views: 169

So, on the default install, the News area has portal listing but those
listings appear on the Home area's default page and the Home area's
portal listings appear over on the right under the heading "Links for
You"

That's all okay but I'd like to know how that webpart in Home area
gets it's data from the portal listings in the News area and how I
might be able to duplicate that action using another source area
and/or target area.

Sometimes, one must wonder.

On the Webparts in question there is an Area Override option at the top of the toolpart.

Answer #3 Answered By: Marty Mcdowell Answered On: Sep 16, 2005

There are 4 webparts that are all really the same, just with different default settings..

- news for You
- News
- links for You
- Grouped Listings

They all display portal Listings, just with different groupings and a few changes to other settings. Each of these webparts has a "Current area Override" at the top of the tool pane. You may notice that the Current Area Override at the top of the News Webparts just points to the news area. The "links/news For You" Webparts just have the group by setting set to Audience to target the same portal listings to specific users.

I hadn't noticed the commonality of those four Web Parts before. The
Grouped Listing Web Part has tons of options that enable it to show Area
Listings in many, many variants, including roll-up like functionality
for a given number of levels.
