How do I hide the My Site Link in SharePoint 2007? - sharepoint-2007

I would just like to hide the link and keep the other links like Welcome name and My Links. I just want to hide the My Site link, but I do not want to remove it from the site.
Thanks.

You should be able to remove the link from your master page; it looks like this:-
<SharePoint:DelegateControl ControlId="GlobalSiteLink1" Scope="Farm" runat="server"/>
<SharePoint:DelegateControl ControlId="GlobalSiteLink2" Scope="Farm" runat="server"/>
<wssuc:Welcome id="explitLogout" runat="server"/>
it's the second link...

I should have added that you should not delete the link only comment it out.

See Disable MySite and MyLinks in Sharepoint (MOSS) 2007 by Michael Van Cleave.
Note: for all users you specify, this will remove My Links from all web sites of all web applications that use the Shared Service Provider.

Link Sleuth - How to show origination page of broken external links

I'm using Link Sleuth to find broken external links on our site. It does a great job only I cannot figure out how to get it to show which page the links originate from.
The report provides the broken link but not the page where it lives. Am I missing something simple?
Found it. Select a resulting external link and hit Alt + Enter

Where do I go to enable search in Sharepoint 2007?

I am modifying an existing Sharepoint 2007 site. It just has two pages, the home page, and an admin page. The admin page has a couple form/document libraries. I simply want to have a search so that a user can search through all the documents/forms in the document/form library. I dont care if its a whole site search, as long as it pulls up results including those from all the document/form libraries on the site.
I have enabled site visibility ("allow this web to appear in search results") on both pages. I just cant find anywhere to enable an actual search button/search textbox/search webpart. I just want the actual control where i can type in a word and hit search. where/how can I enable that?
When I go to sharepoint designer I can see the search box at the top of the master page, but cant see it on the published (live) page.
First of all, search in MOSS 2007 is a BIG deal to understand... don't expect button "On/Off"!
Now that this is clear:
When you watch master page in sharepoint designer, you are seeing a page template as it would be seen with all functions enabled. So master page has to have the search button inside, so that MOSS knows where to show search button when it is enabled.
As for the first question:
First check in your server in the Central Administration Home page > if you have enabled search, crawling (to have any results in the first place) etc...
On your main site collection go to: "Site Actions > Site Settings > Modify All Site Settings > Site Collection Administration > Search settings" and check if you have enabled site search page.
Edit your search scopes.
P.S. Also I'm using a book for this kind of settings - great book
Office Sharepoint server 2007 - Administrator's companion
from Microsoft, written by Bill English (MS Sharepoint Community Expert)
Apparently a previous developer had modified the master page to hide the search feature controls.
The line in my master page that I had to edit was:
<td valign=top>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderSearchArea" runat="server">
<SharePoint:DelegateControl runat="server" ControlId="SmallSearchInputBox"/>
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</td>
The table cell had an inline style to "display:none;" which I removed.

How does github keep a loaded page while changing URLs?

https://github.com/ether/pad/tree/master/etherpad
If you click on that, then go to "bin", the URL changes, but the page doesn't reload.. how is this possible? It's not #'d!
It is some new html5 candy: history api. Also, here is an article where the github team explains the full implementation.

How to create multiple wiki pages in Bitbucket and see/edit them later?

I could create multiple wiki with '+new' link, but after creating it, there is no easy way to see this new page from repository home page. Only 'home' (default) wiki is available. Am I missing something ?
In github, this feature intuitive and pretty straight forward. You can see all you wiki pages with the 'pages' link.
You can more or less reproduce the "pages" page from github by replacing the text in the root page by the following:
<<toc / >>
Though their does not appear to be a feature that lists all the created wiki pages on bitbucket, you could clone the wiki repository in order to view and edit each wiki page as a separate file. The command to clone a wiki is something like:
hg clone https://<user>#bitbucket.org/<user>/<project>/wiki
To create a wiki page- In your bit bucket account firstly create a repository , after that inside your repository click on wiki link. you will see + create page button. click on it. and start writing your wiki page.
To see your old wiki pages- firstly select your repository , go to wiki link. then you see your repository name / Home. click on this repository name which is hyperlink to list of all wiki pages. here you can view your old wiki pages.
This feature is currently broken. Follow Issue BB-6368 for the fix.

There is another SharePoint MasterPage parameter different of Site and System

After the branding of a SharePoint site is done, I mean Site and System masterpages, there are still a few pages that uses the default style. My question is if we can change the master page for that pages too.
Example: http:///_layouts/settings.aspx
always looks like a fresh SharePoint
The master page connected to Settings.aspx is /_layouts/Application.master. Many system pages use this master page but none of them use the custom or default master of the site.
Do know that modifying the file isn't supported by MS :)
yes, you can refer your customized master page for those pages.
