• Nothing to do with SharePoint!

  Just thought I'd resurrect my blogging and the first thing I want to do is tell you how great I think the Linked In web site is for colleague tracking accross company boundaries.  Basically you build up a list of colleagues and contacts and by doing so it helps you keep in touch.    A bit like friends reunited for business!   Take a look at my profile below and feel free to add me to your contact list...   Posted Nov 29 2006, 12:51 AM by Andrew Noon with no comments Filed under: Non-SharePoint

• MOSS 2007 - Increasing the navigation depth

  I don't know about you but I found the out of the box fly-out navigation depth (1 sub-level) a bit basic.   Here's how to customise the depth setting:   The depth setting is in the SharePoint:AspMenu tag and it's name is MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels.   You can open the default.master page in SP Designer or alternatively open it on the file system at [drive]:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\GLOBAL   In the AspMenu tag (ID="TopNavigationMenu") you'll find the property MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels set that to your required value and that's it, done!   Don't go too daft though or there's the potential for some significantly bad UI!!!
