How to make SharePoint Site/Master page Responsive

Lets try to make a SharePoint site responsive. Making a SharePoint site responsive is a two way process.

  • Making Master page Responsive.
  • Making SharePoint page layouts responsive.
  • Making contents that is gonna load on the page responsive.
Note : I would recommend to use Bootstrap in order to make site responsive.

Lets now start with making a responsive master page. First of all you need to have a responsive HTML site. Take the portion that you want to add into master page and uploaded the derived portion with all necessary reference files into SharePoint master page gallery.

Now  publish the master page and click on the gear icon on top right corner > Click on design manager > Under Designer Manager click on Edit Master Pages option and then click on Convert an HTML file to a SharePoint master page option Select your html file.

You will now be redirected to Preview page. You can have a look at the page and resolve issues if you find any. 

On the preview page you will find below content.

This is the actual div where the content will be loaded. So now again visit master page gallery and download the html file that you created. you will much of additional code into it, Also you will find the div that has text that we can see in the yellow bar above.

If you are using bootstrap then find the above div and add a css class named "container" to it, This will make your SharePoint site content container responsive.

So now if the content that you add to the page is responsive then the site will behave responsive in nature.

Now if you want to add any of the default contents like Search box, Global navigation, Quick links etc. you can go to the preview of your master page and click on snippets on top left corner.

This will take you to SharePoint snippet gallery. You can select any of the desired control and find its xml code and can add it to your master page html.

I think that it for SharePoint Master Page.

Now Lets make SharePoint page layouts responsive.

So you can open SharePoint designer or you can directly download any of the SharePoint page layout file. Make necessary changes to the file and as per your required webpart zone.

Note: Use bootstrap classes in order to make each of the webpart zone responsive.

Once this is done save the changes rename the file and upload the same to master page gallery. Now then you create an new SharePoint page make sure you select the newly created page layout.

That's it for making a SharePoint site responsive. above steps are enough at the first go.

Business Data Connectivity

The first approach that I finalized was just to make BDC solution that will get data from 3 rd party portal and will deploy it to SharePoint. How to Create BDC solution in SharePoint? I found below link that is having really great description about hot to create and deploy the BDC solution to SharePoint. http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/hung123/creating-business-data-connectivity-service-using-visual-studio-2010/ After creating an POC I came to know that BDC model cannot be deployed on Multi tenant farm. So what can be done next? After some amount of googling I came to know that we can create BDC solution using WCF services also. So I created a WCF service solution that acted as a wrapper that used to fetch data from the portal. We can them publish that service to IIS or Server and use the servic...
