Question

How to hide the "! NEW" tag on a sharepoint list without affecting lists contained in the site?

Answer 1

+2 A:

You can set the value of days-to-show-new-icon property to 0. However, this affects entire Web site; you cannot do it only for selected lists.

Thanks Marek, I thought that would be the case, my request is a bit custom... Cheers

@Luke Hutton What do you mean? How does your script work? The SPListItem.SystemUpdate method http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.splistitem.systemupdate.aspx that allows to update list items without changing the Modified or Modified By fields might help.

Marek Grzenkowicz 2010-10-02 10:05:16

@Marek - SystemUpdate only allows you to not set modified by/date fields but the New icon is triggered by the Created Date - I guess the OP's sync routine is deleting everything and copying in afresh.

@Marek My syncing routine does delete everything first and then adds new items to keep it simple, I may look into an Update routine or try Ryan's CSS suggestion

Answer 2

+3 A:

If you just want to remove them image from a single view or page rather than every list in the web application what you can use the favourite tool of SharePoint UI hackers everywhere - the Content Editor Web Part (CEWP) along with javascript/jquery/css.

In this case its easy, only CSS required.

For SharePoint 2010

The New image is displayed as so

<IMG class="ms-newgif" title="New" alt="New" src="/_layouts/1033/images/new.gif">

So if you add the following style into a CEWP (you have to use the HTML Source View, rather than the Rich Text Editor).

<style>
  IMG.ms-newgif {display:none;}
</style>

The New image will be hidden.

WSS3 and SharePoint 2007

The CSS is a little more complex

<style>
  TABLE.ms-unselectedtitle TD.ms-vb IMG {display:none;}
</style>

Thanks Ryan! I'll try this first thing Monday

Luke Hutton 2010-10-03 19:55:57

I added TABLE.ms-selectedtitle TD.ms-vb IMG {display:none;} to make the mouse over NEW disappear as well. Thanks.
