SharePoint Content Editor Web Part 1 - Intro

hi I'm Peter come from out calm calm business solutions in this demonstration I'll talk to you about a particular web part and then I often find very useful and of course as usual I'm going to go into a web part page or a wiki page to edit that page then I can start adding web parts and the content editor web part on a wiki page it is very useful on a web part page is even more useful so I go into web parts of course I find the web part under the media and content section and the content editor if you've worked on SharePoint 2007 or earlier versions then we did everything with the content editor web part so you probably know it if you've been around for a while but if you haven't then that's fine I'm going to teach you how you simply add that web part to a site page and then you go in and edit the part and then inside that web part you can add new content like that and as you see you have all the regular options there but you also have some new options here there you can link to a text file and I'll show you how to work with that in another demo but here you see you can do anything that you can do in a regular web part here in a wiki page it's not that useful you can use it to insert JavaScript or CSS that I'll show in another demo but if you go to a page that's a web part page like a view so let's see I'll go into my documents I'm going to edit the page and of course add the web part and click here to add content and then you can just type in here and this library we keep all the important right make sense one thing that you need to do though is change this heading you probably don't want it to say content editor there so I'm going to go into the edit web port task pane here and I'm going to change the appearance and either you can put another title on there if you want to maybe just instructions or you can hide the chrome altogether by setting it to none still going to show up with a chrome as long as you're in edit mode but once you save the document by stopping the editing you'll notice that it doesn't have a title one thing that you need to keep in mind though if you modify a view in this way is that now I don't get any of the tools I don't get in any of the you know alerts or anything like that I actually need to put my focus here in order to get these tabs up here so if you put a content editor webpart at the top of your view which is powerful then setting the focus there it becomes a usability issue and so if you're looking for all these files and libraries they won't be visible until you actually set the focus in this webpart so now you have two webparts you can change that by putting this webpart at the bottom but that might be too long and you might want to show a lot of documents there so that's an issue that you need to be aware of so I've shown you here how you can add the content editor web part to a wiki page and to a web part page such as one of your views you can of course also add that content editor web part to another place that is the here - my ID tickets list you can of course also add it to the forms both the default form in the display form the Edit form you can modify that that's also webpart page which you can use to put the content editor web part on so I hope that gives you an entry point into the beautiful world of the content editor web part I'm going to show you some more tips and tricks soon thank you for watching this demonstration
