In SharePoint 2007, menus in some master pages opened behind page content and Flash animations. However, there was an easy fix which was to just locate the css style for the dynamic menus, and change the “z-index” property to a high number. This same fix does not work in 2010 however, and to make matters worse, the menus on the default master page in 2010 always open behind Flash videos. (The built-in Silverlight web part in 2010 does not have this problem, but I suspect there are still many people who will have home pages with Flash content.)

When upgrading from SharePoint 2007 to 2010, you’ll need to upgrade your master pages (if they’re customized) to take advantage of the new features in 2010, such as the ribbon. The first question is to decide if you want to keep the current master page and add all the new controls in, or to start with a new 2010 master page and customize that. We decided to start with a new master page based on the 2010 master page, v4.master, and customize that. Here’s some resources I found useful when creating the new custom master page for our site.

When designing the layout and branding for new SharePoint 2010 sites, some people may wish to hide the left-hand navigation and only use top navigation. Hiding the left-hand navigation allows for more space for content and a possible cleaner looking interface. In SharePoint’s Site Settings, you can turn off the quick launch and tree view, however that still leaves the navigation bar on the page with only a recycling bin. In order to entirely remove the bar, you would need to either modify the master page or CSS linked to the master page.

The single-server out of the box SharePoint 2010 installation uses SQL Express, which comes with a 4 GB limit. This is in contrast to SharePoint 2007 which used the Windows Internal Database, a version of SQL Express with no size limit. If you’re upgrading an existing environment or planning to import a bunch of files, you may easily hit this limit.

When you create new sites in SharePoint 2010, you may find that “Master Page” is missing from the site settings, and there’s no apparent easy way to change the master page, outside of SharePoint Designer. This happens when the publishing features are not enabled, and is easy to fix by just enabling the right features.

There has been a lot of chatter in the market about SharePoint 2010. Kraft Kennedy is currently running the SharePoint 2010 Beta, and is in the process of seeing which features could most benefit our clients. One feature that is not installed out-of-the-box (if there is such a thing as “out-of-the-box” with SharePoint) is the suite of Microsoft Office Web Apps. For details on installing the Web Apps on your SharePoint 2010 Beta, please check out this technote. This post is designed to show a little of what the Word 2010 Web App looks like, and how this can change your Intranet forever.
The SharePoint 2010 Beta has finally been released, and this article will just give a few tips to make the installation smoother if you decide to install. The first step is to choose which version to install. It’s being released as two versions–An Internet facing version, for organizations that will use it to create public web sites and extranet sites, and an Intranet version, for internal corporate intranets. Both versions will support and incorporate all of the features available in SharePoint 2010.
