Though that would have made for a much longer post! :) I wanted to show how you can build on another persons great work and be successful with responsive design and SharePoint. The point of the post is that our designers have to consider the Search Center in their design. I never use the out of the box page layouts for the Search Center either, but again, that would have made for a longer post. I am planning another post using a template from Template Monster. Showing how you can use canned templates in SharePoint just like any other CMS. You could and I often do.

I'm not entirely clear about why you wouldn't create a separate master page for search? Is there a reason you don't? Hi Matthew, excellent post thanks for sharing.

There is a whole bunch of information available all over the web. Companies like Template Monster have begun to roll out some beautiful examples of templates focused on the concept. (They have some other cool free HTML5 designs too, they are not responsive though.) In doing my research I found Kyle Schaeffer’s site and his V5 Responsive Master. I like the clean look, and as a starting page, it provides a good start. As a “search guy” the problem I find with most (if not all) Master Pages provided on the Web is that none that I have found address the Search Center. The authors stop short of a “complete branding solution” by simply rendering a home page and a few publishing pages. (Many I have found will not even render the other default publishing pages like Press Releases.) I don’t mean to be critical of Kyle’s work, I think he did a great job, I mean to call attention to the failure of designers in general who ignore (or just don’t know SharePoint well enough to pay attention to) the Search Center.

]]> Comment on SharePoint Saturday Austin Session by Matthew McDermott http://www.ableblue.com/blog/archive/2012/01/22/sharepoint-saturday-austin-session/#comment-154 Matthew McDermott Mon, 23 Jan 2012 12:41:57 +0000 http://www.ableblue.com/blog/?p=604#comment-154 Eddie, I haven't created the step-by-step for that demo yet, though it is in my plans. The key to the queries is to write a hard coded query that satisfies YOUR user requirements. For example the Your Sites query is "contentClass:STS_Web". That will return the webs that the user has access to (because SharePoint handles the security trimming). For the other two queries I am using JQuery to append the current user to the query as Author (for documents) or AssignedTo (for Tasks). I use JQuery but you can do the same thing with C# by subclassing the Search Core Results Web part. Glad you enjoyed the session! Matt Eddie,
