Hi Greg, is this functionality also working for any SharePoint language version available?

We have added a new 'Personalization site link' which allows users to go back from their MySite to a portal. In the portal our new navigation bar is missing and this seems to be based on the existence of 'MySiteView=1' being pasted on the end. Can we stop this from being pasted? In the test link when adding the link this is not added to the end.

Thanks

Albert, did you find a solution to the removal of the MySiteView=1 which is appended to links clicked from personalization links?

I'd rather not have to resort to evil javascript and reposting unless it's an absolute necessity.

This fix is certainly a work-around and not an ideal solution, but...

You can append a # at the end of your Personalization Site Links to prevent the other links from being viewed in personalized mode.

The # makes the browser assume the rest of the URL is a page anchor, and thus the MySiteView=1 (which is still appended), has no effect.

Andy, That works a treat - I wasn't actually looking for this fix at the time but has been bugging me for a while.

Cheers

On our intranet we want some extra pages between 'my home' and 'my profile' on the mysites. (for example 'my study') It must be one centralised page and not a page on every mysite because i want to change things later on this page.

So i created a subsite called 'my study' on our portal based on the 'personal site' template. I put that link in the 'personalised links' in the shared service provider so now it is a link on every mysite.

Because sharepoint automatically put the urlvariable mysiteview=1 in the url you keep your mysite navigation on this page.

The two problems we have now:

- We don't want the 'pin this site' link in the navigation. Can you disable this somewhere?

- We want the mysite quicklinks on the left of our page. Is this possible?

Auke,

'Pin this site' can be removed by placing '?mysiteview=0' to the end of your url in your personalized links.

can you change the URL for the MYSITE link at the top of the page? I would like it to use an http link, however it is stuck point to our server, say srv06, but i wanted to allow it to be accessible on the outside of the firewall and I am not going to use srv06 in the real world.

any help appreciated. I am sure its simple but i just cannot find out how to change it.

thanks

Is it possible to get rid of the "Pin this Site" duplicate tab when a personalized site contains more than just the detault page?

I have a My Time personalization site along with a Personalization Link for a specific audience. In that site, I also have other pages. When these pages are accessed, I get a duplicate My Time tab (along with Pin this Site sub menu). Since I've already defined a personalization link, I don't want tabs for every page in the site unless I specifically define them in the personalisation links section.

Any clue on how I can get rid of those?
