How to add left navigation bar when creating new Sharepoint webpages

By peter.stilgoe









Open the page you want the left hand navigation to appear on in a text editor or Sharepoint Designer & remove the following lines:

asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId=”PlaceHolderLeftNavBar” runat=”server”>

asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId=”PlaceHolderNavSpacer” runat=”server”>

Save the page & now you have the left hand navigation bar !

If you want to change this on all future webpart pages you will need to make the changes to the Web Part template files which are located here on your server:

\\YourServer\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\1033\STS\DOCTEMP\SMARTPGS

The go through each template & delete the following lines:

asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId=”PlaceHolderPageImage” runat=”server”>
asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId=”PlaceHolderLeftNavBar” runat=”server”>
asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId=”PlaceHolderNavSpacer” runat=”server”>

Now all future webpage parts created will have the quick launch bar on the left hand side.
