I want to create a MySite template that shows the same top navigation and
Quick Links as the default MOSS homepage. Is this possible without manually
configuring the top tabs?

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Yes it is. We can use the same master as that of the homepage.

This doesn't work. In fact, both master pages have identical code for the top
navigation:

<SharePoint:AspMenu
ID="TopNavigationMenu"
Runat="server"
DataSourceID="topSiteMap"
EnableViewState="false"
AccessKey="<%$Resources:wss,navigation_accesskey%>"
Orientation="Horizontal"
StaticDisplayLevels="2"
MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="1"
DynamicHorizontalOffset="0"
StaticPopoutImageUrl="/_layouts/images/menudark.gif"
StaticPopoutImageTextFormatString=""
DynamicHoverStyle-BackColor="#CBE3F0"
SkipLinkText=""
StaticSubMenuIndent="0"
CssClass="ms-topNavContainer">
<StaticMenuStyle/>
<StaticMenuItemStyle CssClass="ms-topnav" ItemSpacing="0px"/>
<StaticSelectedStyle CssClass="ms-topnavselected" />
<StaticHoverStyle CssClass="ms-topNavHover" />
<DynamicMenuStyle BackColor="#F2F3F4" BorderColor="#A7B4CE"
BorderWidth="1px"/>
<DynamicMenuItemStyle CssClass="ms-topNavFlyOuts"/>
<DynamicHoverStyle CssClass="ms-topNavFlyOutsHover"/>
<DynamicSelectedStyle CssClass="ms-topNavFlyOutsSelected"/>
</SharePoint:AspMenu>

It's not the menu that needs to change, but rather the data source it's
connected to. The "topSiteMap" data source referenced by this control (which
you'll find just beneath the menu declaration) is dynamically configured
since it is wrapped with a DelegateControl declaration:

<SharePoint:DelegateControl runat="server"
ControlId="TopNavigationDataSource"><Template_Controls>
<asp:SiteMapDataSource
ShowStartingNode="False"
SiteMapProvider="SPNavigationProvider"
id="topSiteMap"
runat="server"
StartingNodeUrl="sid:1002"/>
</Template_Controls>
</SharePoint:DelegateControl>

This control is replaced depending on which features are active at the site
collection and web levels and this is why the same markup produces different
results. You can replace the DelegateControl with the explicit data source
declaration for MOSS navigation.

Edit the MySite masterpage, and replace the markup above with the following
(you may want to make a backup of your masterpage first):

<PublishingNavigation:PortalSiteMapDataSource ID="topSiteMap" Runat="server"
SiteMapProvider="CombinedNavSiteMapProvider"
StartFromCurrentNode="true" ShowStartingNode="false"
TreatStartingNodeAsCurrent="true" TrimNonCurrentTypes="Heading"/>

You'll also need to register a new Tagprefix by adding the following at the
top of the same masterpage:

<%@ Register Tagprefix="PublishingNavigation"
Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation"
Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=12.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=94de0004b6e3fcc5" %>

Let me know if you run into any problems.

I have a custom master page and I want to hide home bar. I set ShowStartingNode="false" in my datasource but the home link is still displayed.Here is the datasource:
<asp:SiteMapDataSource ShowStartingNode="false"
StartingNodeOffset="1" SiteMapProvider="SPNavigationProvider"
id="topSiteMap"
runat="server" StartFromCurrentNode="false"
StartingNodeUrl="../../Pages/homepage.aspx"/>

I have also tried this:


<PublishingNavigation:PortalSiteMapDataSource ID="topSiteMap" Runat="server"

SiteMapProvider="CombinedNavSiteMapProvider" EnableViewState="true"
StartFromCurrentNode="false" StartingNodeOffset="0" ShowStartingNode="false"
TreatStartingNodeAsCurrent="false" TrimNonCurrentTypes="Heading"
/>

but the home link was still displayed.
Thanks in advance

This is a question for the .design_and_customization newsgroup which
deals with customization using SPD 2007 (and FP 2003 for v2 users)

Sorry, very new to this...

I found the code:


<SharePoint:DelegateControl runat="server" ControlId="TopNavigationDataSource">
<Template_Controls>
<asp:SiteMapDataSource
ShowStartingNode="False"
SiteMapProvider="SPNavigationProvider"
id="topSiteMap"
runat="server"
StartingNodeUrl="sid:1002"/>
</Template_Controls>
</SharePoint:DelegateControl>

what do I edit it to?

Also when adding a new tagprefix do I add:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="somenamehere" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation"


Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=12.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=94de0004b6e3fcc5" %>

If so what name should I use.

Cheers.

You can remove the home link from view with CSS. I coverred this on my blog recently here:
<a href="http://beyondsharepoint.blogspot.com/2009/03/hiding-home-site-tab-in-sharepoints.html">http://beyondsharepoint.blogspot.com/2009/03/hiding-home-site-tab-in-sharepoints.html</a>.

The code for your alternate CSS file is:

td#zz1_TopNavigationMenun0 {
display:none;
}

I hope this helps.
