Deploy to remote server than there are multiple ways

Adding additional Web Part Zone in SharePoint 2007 Existing page

  • Open SharePoint website using SharePoint Designer 2007
  • Open the desired page where you need additional “WebPart Zones”
  • Web parts zones needs to be defined in Content Placeholders .Make sure you have corresponding placeholders in Master page .
  • Add the following line at desired content placeholder of your page :

    < runat="server" frametype="TitleBarOnly" id="Left" title="loc:Left">
    <>
    < /ZoneTemplate>
    < /WebPartPages:WebPartZone >
  • Editing Web Part Pages with SharePoint Designer

    Now open the web page by clicking on it.

  • Here's a view of the blank page.

  • Assuming you have SharePoint Designer 2007 installed, go to the "File" menu of Internet Explorer and select "Edit with Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer".

    You will now see your page, in edit mode, from inside the SharePoint Designer. Note that the Web Part Zones exist within a standard HTML table. (You may need to open the "Design" tab in SharePoint Designer.)

    Select the lower row of the table.

    Then, from the "Table" menu in SharePoint Designer, select "Insert" and then "Row Below".

    Click into the row you just created. For illustration purposes, I am going to add a table with 3 rows and 3 columns. From the "Table" menu, select "Insert Table". Use the parameters I have below (or anything you like).


    In the top left cell of the table, I now add a Web Part Zone:
     Insert --> SharePoint Controls --> Web Part Zone.
    (The graphic below looks like I am in the HTML menu, I am really not.)

    Using a lookup field on a choice field workaround

    Unfortunately, it’s impossible to map a lookup field on a choice field. There’s a workaround, however, by using a calculated field which copies the information from the choice field. The look up field is then able to map the calculated field’s value.
    Start out by creating 2 custom lists; One list where the choice and calculated columns reside:
    create a custom list with content
    And another list where the lookup will be done:
    create a custom list with lookup
    Navigate to the list with content, and click on the “List” contextual tab in the ribbon. With the list options open, click on the “Create Column” button. When the dialog pops up fill in the desired options and select “choice” as column type:
    choice column
    Click on OK. The choice column should now be added to your list. Click the “Create Column” button again, but now select “Calculated” as column type:
    calculate column
    Scroll down and reference the choice field in your calculation formula:
    calculate column properties
    Click OK. The calculated column should now be added to your list with content. Add a new item to check whether the calculation formula works:
    custom list with content
    Navigate to the list where the lookup will be made and create a new column. Fill in a desired name and select “Lookup” as column type:
    lookup column
    Scroll down again, and select your list with content where the lookup column should get its information. Next, select the title to be looked up and as you can see, the calculated column shows up as a selectable property:
    lookup column properties
    Finish adding the column by clicking OK. Whenever you add a new item to the lookup list and use the lookup column, the chosen choice field from the content list will be shown:
    custom list with lookup content
    In an ideal situation, Microsoft addresses this issue and makes choice fields able to be looked up in the near future.
