Renaming the menu items in SharePoint Site Libraries and Lists for a Specific Site

In SharePoint document Library/List we find menu items like New, Uploads, Actions and Settings etc. At times there might be requirements to rename these menu items for a specific site. The following Javascript function can be used to achieve the objective.




The code snippet shown below can be called from inside the specific SharePoint Page.

e.g AllItems.aspx page inside a Document Library/List.

This javascript function needs to be called on Page load event using _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push method.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("renameMenuItem('New', 'My New')");
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("renameMenuItem('Settings', 'My Settings')");

function renameMenuItem(oldMenuItemName, newMenuItemName)
{

var vAnchorTag;

var vAllAnchorTags = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
if(oldMenuItemName.length!=0)

{
for (var j = 0; j < vAllAnchorTags.length; j++)

{

vAnchorTag = vAllAnchorTags[j];


if (vAnchorTag.innerText.indexOf(oldMenuItemName)!=-1)

{
vAnchorTag.innerText = newMenuItemName;
try

{

if(newMenuItemName.length != 0)

{

vAnchorTag.parentNode.previousSibling.firstChild.firstChild.alt

= newMenuItemName;


}

else
{

vAnchorTag.parentNode.previousSibling.firstChild.firstChild.alt

= oldMenuItemName;

}

}
catch(err)
{
}
}
} // End For
} // End If
}// End Function
</script>

Create a Custom View for Survey List

In SharePoint, custom views are used to display the items in a list/libraries with custom look and feel.Therefore you have to choose a view format like Standard View, Calendar View, Datasheet View or Gantt View and accordingly you can customize the display style by choosing Filter condition, Sort method, Group By condition etc. SharePoint allows us to create custom views for the list and libraries.

http://SiteName:PortNo/_layouts/ViewType.aspx?List=%7BF2141E9F%2D8EA2%2D42EE%2DA965%2D52F1D7362066%7D

4.Then choose a view format for the survey list.

5.Type a custom View Name.

6.In the same page open the style tab, choose a style for this view e.g Basic Table (Don't set the style as Default).
