how to remove the banner in EDK2 Front Page - bios

I am having problem removing the banners in EDK2 Front Page. It looks like there are about 5 lines reserved for banners even though it is not used.

Change the GUID of the front page form set. There are banners reserved for the default Front Page GUID in EDK2.

How to change Google Sheet to "Viewing" while having "Editing" access?

For Gdocs, Edit access can be changed to Viewing to avoid unwanted changes.
How can that be done for Gsheets?
There's no button in the UI for it, but there is a "Preview" mode available for Google sheets. To get to it you need to edit the URL.
The URL of a sheet in normal editing mode ends with something like ...sOmE-lOnG-ID/edit#gid=1234567. Remove the /edit and everything after it, and replace it with /preview. Hit enter to refresh the page.
It will load a data-only view, no toolbars or anything. Useful to avoid making any changes, though unfortunately there's no commenting feature like Docs has.

SAPUI5 - Header and Footer for all applications

I'm pretty new to SAPUI5 and have a question:
Is it possible to have for example a base application with a custom Header and footer and to change only the content to the view of another application?
So basically I have for example 3 applications and one base application.
In the base application, there is only a page header and footer. I want to change the page content to the first view of one of the three application (for example based on a parameter, passed in URL).
With another parameter passed in URL, The content changes to the view of the second application.
In dynpros it was possible with subscreens, so a new "application" was inserted as a subscreen.
I hope you understand my question.
What you describe, sounds like the Page navivation concept in UI5, using the Router (as #Bernard said). More info here
You can find a more specific example here which does what you describe. You can reuse the code of this example app using the top right corner icon.
A different scenario is the navigation between different apps. In UI5/Fiori an app is the whole package with its own Component.js. So navigating from one app to another app means to load a new Component.js, start the execution from there, and rerender all the application controls, reset the models, and so on so forth. But this should not scare you if you really want to change the whole context. If you configure your apps correctly, you won't need to download the same libraries again when swtching between apps, because they will be cached. So the browser just needs to rerender (miliseconds for a header and footer).

Ideal structure for Umbraco 7 content with a master template

I'm trying to make my Umbraco layout. I have set up Umbraco before and used it, but my layout was as following:
- Home
-- About Us Page
-- Products Page
-- etc. etc.
That structure allowed me to visit / and get the home page, but having the subpages (About Us and Products) as children of Home does not make any sense. They are not connected together at all, except they all use a Master template.
If I want to make a better structured setup for my new page, I would assume this would be the best approach:
- Master
-- Home Page
-- About Us Page
-- Products Page
-- etc. etc.
However, this would mean that visiting / would give me the Master template without content, but visiting /home would give me what I want.
So what is the most ideal setup? It seems weird they are all inheriting from the Home document type, because that's what my / root page should be.
I would stick to your original plan & nest everything under Home. Having your homepage under /home/ is a bit clunky.
I use the home template as a container for all the data that is likely to be used in pages throughout the site, so I have a 'copy' section so that there is a place for every page for headline, subheadline, blurb & hero image. By using the home doc type these values can reduce complexity in back end code (if you know every page has a 'headline' field you can use it in a macro without referring to anything else or getting hit by typos).
I also have a bunch of SEO fields, social media integration, as well as navigation fields.
So use the home doctype for what is specifically on the homepage & also for stuff that is universal to the site - hopefully that is a good enough reason to setup all content under home.
Template structure is not the same as content structure.
Your content tree, which is what your plan reflects, is the structure of your site. Consider it as having the same structure as you might see in your breadcrumbs, Home always nests everything else.
Home > Products > Product 1
Your first plan is correct for Umbraco
The only reason why you would want a structure like this
- website
-- home
-- about page
-- product page
is if you want to swap out the "home" page for a different home page.
You can work around the issue by creating a WebsiteContentFinder serving the correct "home" by creating a ContentFinder. If you do so, do add a "homepage" property on the website node, to avoid searching all the children and only picking the first one...
You can achieve the second one by adding a "Content Picker" property in your Master with an alias of "umbracoRedirect"
No additional code needed that is automated by Umbraco, just select your Home Page from Master using content picker property.
You can now then access "/" displaying the homepage content.

I need to change the page column width in sharepoint 2007 on the main page

I have a few users that visit the primary sharepoint page, find that the right column width is really wide. I have determined that it is by user account. My main account is fine, my secondary account has the column too wide.
I have tried the obvious steps, i.e. setting the column widths with sharepoint designer, changing all of the web parts in that column to a fixed pixel amount. Nothing changes the column width for those where it is too wide.
The column width does change but only when the window size changes, like when the window is maximized. It goes back to the original size when the window is placed back to normal.
A few years ago, I built our internal website with vb and asp.net. I had some users that would get an error in their 'profile'. I had to go into the database and delete that user, it would then work fine for them. I did try removing the user profile under sharepoint but it didn't work either.
I am thinking that this is similar in that the width seems to be stored somewhere and reused each time the page is requested.
The problem occurs on different pcs. I can login in with my main account and it is fine, I log in with my secondary account and it is too wide.
Same pc, same ie different log ins. I don't know what to delete or reset to fix this issue.
I have run file cleaners and registry cleaners but no luck. It follows the user account. Our user accounts are Active Directory accounts.
Thanks, In advance.
I wanted to add that I went to the site with Firefox and it did the same thing, too wide for my secondary account and just right with my main account.
Ok, I seemed to have solved the issue but I still think there is a problem. I have eight or nine web parts in that column. I had to set three or four to a specific width in order to get the whole column to shrink down. So my thoughts are that I had a few rogue web parts. The problem that still seems to be there is that I have already forced the column itself to be a fixed width (through sharepoint designer).
This is the Offical Solution.
The default.aspx page had been modified (by me) and not published. So I
could see it but no one else could.
The Style resource readers group did not have authenticated users in it.
Also the style resoucre readers group wasn't in the Style Library or in the
Master page gallery.
So no one had permissions to any of those.

How to redirect user to the page they were just at without them noticing?

The website viewer would be at page A, click a link that sends then to page B, but I want them to return to page A without them noticing.
When they click the link it changes the layout the viewer is browsing the site with, so the redirection code shouldn't erase or undo the cookies or whatever are stored with the link click. Thanks!
Edit:
Here's what I'm doing. I have a page called setskin.php that has php code that takes header and footer codes for different layouts and applies them. I don't know how to show code without it going crazy, so there's a screenshot of it here:
http://figmint.uuuq.com/Picture%202.png
I want to change my website so that in a sidebar there will be the same setskin options (so it will be on every page). I was fiddling and managed to make it so when you click the link for the skin you want it changes the skin, but then you end up at the setskin.php page, which I don't want. I was looking for a way to make it so it sends you to the setskin.php page (since I couldn't see how to change that) and then back to where you came from.
You should use AJAX. That way you can do whatever processing is needed behind the scenes with zero impact on the user.
You can check the referer header and return to that. But if that isn't set go to a default page?
Other options include putting the previous url as a parameter, like a 'next' parameter. Then redirect to that after you're done. Quite common pattern used for login.
