Tweaking how TCMS web parts display

Aside from changing skins or the style sheet to change the format of how things are displayed, you can also tweak the aspx page for web parts to control how things are positioned.

For example, if you don't like that the featured products web part displays the product's small image in 2 different ratios or has an extra space at the start of the product's name, you can change this in the ..DesktopModules\TimssFeaturedItems\ctrlFeaturedItemSm.ascx file.

In this file you will see how the web part is layed out. You can not control what data is returned. With a little HTML knowledge you can move tables around and change the sizing of images or remove their border.

As always, you are responsible for any changes you make. If you break it and can't fix it, you will need to pay TMAR to fix it; and when you upgrade your changes may be over written. You may want to submit your changes to TIMSSCare so that the become a part of the base product.
