IOTAP’s Sharepoint branding team has helped several
customers with applying corporate branding to their Sharepoint sites. Recently
during one suchSharepoint 2010 branding exercise, to induce some personilzation touch to the
intranet we decided to display the user’s photo before the welcome text.
After tinkering with
the Sharepoint 2010 master page controls a bit we were able to find a solution
for displaying the user’s photo.
Default Sharepoint 2010 page:
Sharepoint 2010 page after applying the user photo:
Below are the steps for adding users photo before welcome text
STEP 1: Add the following Register tag at the top of the master page (before the doctype element)
<%@ Register Tagprefix="SPSWC"
Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal,
Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
STEP 2: Search for"s4-trc-container-menu" and add the
following control (before welcome control)
<SPSWC:ProfilePropertyImage
PropertyName="PictureUrl" style="float: left; height:
20px;" ShowPlaceholder="true" id="PictureUrlImage"
runat="server"/>
The picture display
seeting can also be toggeled by changing the ShowPlaceholder setting
"true" to "false"
