Custom Styled Top Link Bar Sharepoint Foundation 2013

I want to be able to style the top link bar with some custom CSS but I am unable to find any guides that walk me through the process. I could use a step by step guide. I have sharepoint designer and I know how to open the master page for editing. I've
tried to link an external CSS page but I still am not quite getting the results I want. I only get part of the CSS to apply. Please help

SharePoint 2013 Foundation Top Link Bar wrong selected page when no navigation match

Hello,
I've got the following issue.
At one of my clients we are working on a public web site based on SharePoint 2013 Foundation (yes I know... Foundation...). I've branded the Top Nav Bar and ran into a problem.
When I navigate to one of the pages in the Top Link Bar the selected item is marked as "Selected", great! But when I navigate to one of the pages that is not added in the Top Link Bar the first item is marked as "Selected", not so great.
For example when I navigate to /Pages/About.aspx the first item /Pages/Home.aspx is selected.
Can you help me out?

Hi,
Could you give me more detailed information about this issue?
Could you give me a Screenshot about this issue?
In addition, there is an articles about customizing the top link bar, please have a look at:

SharePoint Foundation 2013 - FBA Custom Login Page

Hi,
     i am trying to enable FBA in SharePoint Foundation 2013 and it works fine for default login page
     but when i try to create custom login page ( which is already working without any problems in SharePoint 2010 ) i receive an error when i try to authenticate user using the following code :

SharePoint Foundation 2013 - Treeview current navigation linking to wrong page

Good day,
We are having issues with the OOTB tree view for SharePoint Foundation 2013.
The client has a document library with a folder structure. Clicking on the first level folder (Private) navigates you to the wrong url, but when you navigate to one of its child folders, by expanding the parent folder (Private) and THEN clicking on the parent
folder, it navigates to the right url.
See attatched screenshots:
Error:

Hey guys,
Any update on this? Sorry for the hassle, guessing it's a SharePoint bug?

SharePoint 2007 (WSS 3.0) migration to SharePoint Foundation 2013

Hi
I have a requirement to migrate a SharePoint 2007 (WSS 3.0) farm to a SharePoint Foundation 2013 farm. The WSS 3.0 farm has SQL Server 2005 Standard running so no restrictions on the size of the content database. The SharePoint Foundation 2010 and 2013 farms
will share the same SQL Server 2012 Standard instance (as I know WSS 3.0 will have to be migrated to 2010 before 2013). I also have two other WSS 3.0 farms (so three WSS 3.0 Farms, lets call these A (250GB), B (90GB) and C (60GB)) that I need to migrate
into WSS 3.0 Farm A before the migration to SP 2010.
My question is, can I migrate a 400GB WSS 3.0 site collection to SP 2010 or will I have to split this into separate site collections? I have read that there is a best practice limit of 100GB per site collection but this does not stop a larger migration from
happening. Obviously over time when the migration has completed to SharePoint Foundation 2013 the single site collection will grow and grow so perhaps now is the right time to split this out into, say, year named site collections, but surely this will incur
an end of year process to create new site collections and a custom dev headache due to different locations to send newly created sites?
Thanks.

The answer is Yes, and you are correct about the best practice of a limit of 100GB,
although, document and record centers (e.g. non collaborative) can go much higher.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787(v=office.15).aspx#ContentDB
That being what it is, your sites will perform better if you find a topology that allows the content databases to be under 100GB each. You can use Move-SPSite to accomplish that feat.
You'll want a separate instance for 2010 and a separate instance for 2013
and finally, put some quota's in place and then governance document\statement that informs users that 100 GB is the max for any given site collection that uses collaborative features (calendars, lists, workflows, etc.)
The simple path is explained on technet, go from 2007 to 2010 (you can inplace upgrade if you want) then go from 2010 to 2013, database detach and attach is only way.
please check the below link that explains more about the migration from share point 2007->2013.

SharePoint Foundation 2013 - report / chart / Graph for Employee vacation.

In SharePoint Foundation 2013 I want to create a report / chart / Graph for Employee (Employee Id,Employee Name & Department) which will show month wise from which date to which date Employee are on vacation in particular department.
I'm thinking to create one List where where user will enter there vacation details and from that list report I will create chart / Graph Department wise to check the Employees availability.
Please provide some good example or idea in detail for this.

Hi,
Chart Web Parts are useful for visually representing data in line charts, bar charts, and other views. Charts enable you and other users to view performance information at a glance.
In SharePoint 2013, chart web part is one of the discontinued features. We usually use Excel Service to replace it, however, Excel Service is only available in Enterprise edition, so we need to figure out coding methods or third party tool if you are using
Foundation edition.
Here are some links for workaround in your situation, please check if they can be help:

SharePoint Foundation 2013 - Master Pages

I am trying to create a SharePoint Intranet site but am quickly running into a number of issues and am looking for help.
I need to create a site that has multiple subsites (one for each department) however all of the subsites need to have a consistent look and feel about them so I have delved head long into branding, creating master pages, etc. I have set-up a
master page, with a logo and icon, I would like this to cascade down to all subsites and pages below however I have no option to set this up.
Is this a limitation of using foundation? What other limitations are there to foundation that I need to be aware of?
There also doesn't seem to be any visual designer, what do people use and what would people recommend to use?
I am sure there will be a number of other questions that I need to ask but these will do for starters.
regards,
Matt

SharePoint Foundation 2013 Web Analytics

Problem:
I am using SharePoint Foundations 2013 (no patches) and trying to get Web Analytics working but running into difficulty. The error I am getting is the dreaded, "A web analytics report
is not available for this site. Usage processing may be disabled on this server or the usage data for this site has not been processed yet.", when I click on Site Settings -> Site Web analytics reports
Items completed:
Enabled Site Usage and data collection in Central Admin.
Logs are full of data in the hive
I can see the data in dbo.requestusage in the WSS logging database.
Possible problem is that Web Analytics has been deprecated in SharePoint 2013 however why would Microsoft have Web analytics link if it was deprecated.
Question:
How can I get Web Analytics to show data or has it been completely removed from SharePoint Foundations 2013 and the link is just there for frustration?
Jay

We’re having the same Problem.
According to the following links, “Usage Analytics” and “Usage Reporting and Logging” are
available in SharePoint Foundation 2013:

http://blog.blksthl.com/2013/01/14/sharepoint-2013-feature-comparison-chart-all-editions/
Are they wrong?
I don’t mean the search related Reports (Most Popular Items), I mean the very simple Reports like
Number of Page Views, Number of Unique Visitors, Number of Referrers, Top Pages/Visitors/Referrers/Browsers (URL: /_layouts/15/usageDetails.aspx)

MasterPages and SharePoint foundation 2013

Hi
I have created a web application in SharePoint Foundation 2013. I also have created multiple subsite.
I want to change the visual (branding) of the website (and all subsites).
I have created a custom masterpage and wanted to set it as the default master page. But when I do that, everything is now set with that custom masterpage (even the site setting pages, the viewlsts.aspx, settings.aspx).
Is there a way to bind masterpages only with the content pages of my website ?
Any links for info about that ?
Thanks
Richard Martin Web Developer / BI Developer

Hi marric01,
All of the site setting pages, the viewlsts.aspx and settings.aspx is the application page. An application page is an ASP.NET Web page that is designed for
use in a SharePoint Web site. Application pages are stored on the file system of the front-end Web server in the %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS directory and exist for every site in a Web application.
This folder is mapped to an Internet Information Services (IIS) virtual directory called _layouts. Every site and subsite will have access to the application pages by using the _layouts virtual directory.
The scenario you have seen is what SharePoint will do when set the master page through Site Settings->Master page. All the pages on the site will apply this master page.
The settings.aspx, viewlsts.aspx and upload.aspx. etc. are application pages, the difference between application page and content page is that: application page store in server 15/Template/Layouts folder, all applications in the SharePoint farm use the same
application page, while content page store in content database, each site use a unique page of them, you can update the page content in different site as you like.
SharePoint by default doesn’t provide a method to set different master page for application pages, and this is not recommended, even if you can change this through update the page directly in the layouts folder, whenever you change it, it will affect the whole
SharePoint farm, on all web applications.
If you really need to this, I would suggest you to custom the ribbon button to direct to your custom specific application page like settings page. The concern by doing this is the default settings page is still available, and if users access the page by typing
the url directly, he will see the default settings page.

Hi,
Thanks for the information. While waiting for help with this forum, I was playing with SharePoint Foundation 2013 and SharePoint designer 2013. I saw that I can bind custom masterpage for each page that I create.
(Style => Attach => Custom masterpage)
I also managed to bind subsite pages to that same custom masterpage.
Is this a good way to customize the look and feel of my SharePoint foundation 2013 website (We are building a small intranet for about 100 person).
Users are only gona be able to modify content inside the pages. We are (IT dept) the only one that can modify structure, add new pages and modify the look for the website.
Thanks again !

Top link bar tab not highlighted when subsite beneath subsite active

Scenario: All sites in a site collection share the same top link bar for consistent global navigation.
Site A (top-level)
    Site A1 (2nd level)
        Site A1a (3rd level)
    Site A2 (2nd level)
    etc.
Problem: When site A1 is active, tab "A1" is highlighted. When site A1a is active, no tabs are highlighted. And the bread crumbs do not include site "A1." So the user has no context to where they are in the site taxonomy.
In MOSS 2007 the behavior is different. Tab "A1" is highlighted when site A1 or any of its subsites is active. So when site A1a is active, tab "A1" is highlighted and the user knows where they are. This is good.
Question: How can I make SharePoint 2010 highlight the top link bar tabs in a similar manner to MOSS 2007?

I activated the "SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure" site collection feature, still it didn't work for me.
I have Custom Top navigation bar in my project.
Eg :   AAA   BBB   CCC   DDD
When i am into CCC site , if i create sites under this at three levels say. :
CCC > CC1 > CC2 > CC3 > CC4
The top navigation bar does not get highlighted when i am into CC4 site.
Actuly the top naviagtion bar should look like this :
Eg :   AAA   BBB   CCC   DDD
But it does not get highlighted and it shows normal like this . Eg :
AAA   BBB   CCC   DDD
Please suggest some solution for the same. Why Navigation does not work at this level.
Regards ,

System.ArgumentException when trying to edit the top link bar

Whenever I try to edit the top link bar of my SharePoint site, I get a page that just says "New Navigation Link." That's fine, the link bar is empty, but when I click on that, IIS crashes:

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when editing the top link bar in SharePoint 2013.
As the error message is very common, I recommend to check the ULS log for detailed error message for further research.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look:

Sharepoint Foundation 2013 User field issue

Guys, I have an issue with Sharepoint Foundation 2013 site that we have created some custom workflows for. We have a couple required fields that we type in a users name and it automatically pulls up a user based on Active directory. once we choose that name
and then save the form. the field immediately becomes blank when i open the workflow item back up. I'm kind of at a loss. I've already totally hosed the server once and was forced to restore. This seams to have started when we installed share point server
patch KB2881077 but i cannot uninstall or roll back the patch as there is no option to.
Thoughts?

If you're using SharePoint 2013 April 2013 CU or higher, this is a known issue where the People data is missing in Edit view. There is a separate issue that is resolved in the September 2014 CU:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2995905
Consider the following scenario:
You create a SharePoint 2013 list that contains a Person or Group (people picker) column.
You create or edit an item, and then you select a person whose name contains a comma in the Person or Group field.
In this scenario, the value of the Person or Group field is lost when you save the item.
