Navigation bar in personal dashboard SPS 2001

Asked By: Christina Clark Date: Aug 31, 2009 Category: Sharepoint Views: 242

I seem to have a problem with the navigation bar when I create a
personal dashboard. I am using the Sharepoint Portal 2001 and when i
create a personal dashboard using the "create a personal dashboard"
option under the "Management" Tab, the navigation bar from the main
dashboard(home|search|categories| etc.) is not available under this
dashboard.
Is there any way to get the main dashbaord here or even edit the
navigation bar and add a link to the home?

Yes, it is supposed to work this way.
The navigation bar on the main portal are subdashboards.

To include these in your personal dashboards I think you can copy them from
the main portal to your newly created personal dashboard, or create new
subdashboards and edit the contect.

I didn't find a way to get the main navigation bar shown on a
personal dashboard yet. Seems to be a little bit more tricky :)
But you can add a new Web Part to your personal dashboard with
this bit of code here (or something similar):

<html>
<head><title>HOME</title></head>
<body>
<a href="http://PortalServer/Portal/">HOME</a>
</body>
</html>

At least, you will find your way back HOME.

Doing it this way causes that every dashboard has to be changed
if you, e.i., change the servername.
Except you define a master webpart for this.

I think an easier way to achieve this is to bind such a link
to the dashlogo.

You'll have to change the db_view.xsl (IE5.5+) and the dbview.xsl.
But with this changes you'll lose support.
(I forgot to mention it in my last mail, sorry.)

That's true.....in this case.
What I meant was that every changes made to your server structure
probibly causes changes to the link and then you'll have to change
hundreds of webparts except you've defined a master webpart.

And another advantage is that the users don't have to waste 'their'
dahsboard space.

Anyhow, instead of using the PortalServerName you could use
the IP address of the server.
