Just SharePoint

There have been significant changes to the user interface (UI) for Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010, including the addition of the Ribbon. By default, the v4.master page includes the Ribbon. Many of the commands previously found in menus and toolbars now exist inside of the Ribbon. As a result, if your existing master page does not contain the Ribbon, many commands will be unavailable.

Read the article on how to add the Ribbon along with any new controls or content placeholders that are required for an existing master page to render correctly in SharePoint Foundation 2010.

Q. I’m using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and recently discovered there’s no easy way to navigate from My Site back to my main SharePoint intranet portal.  The navigation breadcrumb exists for other sites, but not for My Site. Can I enable this functionality for My Site?

A. This is a good question and one that I receive quite often.  If you have a single intranet portal, or one that you call your home portal, you can configure an individual My Site to include it in the breadcrumb navigation.  To do so, perform the following steps:
     1. While on your My Site, choose Site Settings, Modify All Site Settings from the Site Actions menu.
     2. From the Site Settings page, select the Portal site connection option.
     3. You’ll now see a screen that lets you specify a portal site address.
     4. Enter the URL and name of the portal site you want your My Site to be connected to, then click OK.

That’s all there is to it.  Notice, in the upper left corner of your My Site, the breadcrumb navigation bar has been updated to include a link to your portal.
