In Sitecore 8, I want to set the Display Name of an item inside the content editor. There was a toolbar button in Sitecore 7 but it doesnt exist on any toolbar in 8 ..
I need to specify the display name as the string includes an ampersand.
Thanks, this should be so easy but cant see how!!
The button is in the same place as in Sitecore 7. Select the item in the tree and in the Home ribbon bar there is a button for Display name:
Alternatively - if you enable Standard Fields from the View ribbon bar, you can edit the field under the Appearance section:
Both of those options should be accessible by an author account.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to create a secondary menu under the first one?
So another menu bar under 'Home, Team/People' and above 'Home' Title
Yes, but you don't create them as a Menu. In APEX (At least with theme 42) you have to choose Side Navigation or Top Navigation (not both).
What I've done is define my side menu then I added items to the Navigation list (in my case I have no need for submenus on the Nav. Bar) and the end result is that I have items to click on on left and top.
Yes, you can. So, you can have only one menu list, which is for the application in general, but what you could do is add a region on page 0 which represents a list.
I'm assuming you're familiar with APEX development, then you can follow these steps:
Fist you need to have the page 0(a.k.a global page) in your application. So, create it if there's not.
In page 0, create a new region.
Set the following region's attributes:
Type: List;
Position: Page Navigation;
Template: none (- Select -).
In source tab, select which list do you want to display there.
I'm trying to only enable my custom ribbon button when an item is selected, but it looks like you can't do JavaScript in O365 from everything that I've read. Is this true? Is there no way to enable/disable a button based on the item(s) selected?
You can use custom Page components to do that. There's an execellent article in DIWUG magazine issue 6 on how to do it. http://www.diwug.nl/DIWUG_SharePoint_eMagazine6.pdf
beginner question for sitecore about settings the right.
So I have an item is open in the page editor.
The renderings on the page has bunch of icons on the ribbon. One of them called 'select the parent element (element name)'.
In my case when I click on it, I am presented with the placeholder with button 'add here' and the ribbon with some component buttons that a user can use to add the controls.
So, QUESTION:
"how I add access to the button on that ribbon for certain role? Where do I set it up? "
For some certain role that placeholder's ribbon is completely empty, including there is no button 'select the parent element' even though
i know there is a parent element.
thank you very much for help,
HF
Here are the screenshots (no icons on the placeholder ribbon, and the user's rights:

And here is how that looks for the admin:
All the settings for the Page Editor are held in the Core database. So in the Sitecore Desktop, switch to the core database and open up the Content Editor.
Navigate to : /sitecore/content/Applications/WebEdit
This item holds the items that make up the page editor. To edit the ribbon menues, go to:
/sitecore/content/Applications/WebEdit/Ribbons
I don't remember seeing that particular button in the Core database, so this is likely a built-in feature that requires the user to have one of the built-in permissions.
The first thing I would check is that Designing is turned on. Have the user go to the 'View' tab in Page Editor and make sure they have checked the 'Designing' checkbox.
If that doesn't work, it sounds like the user you have does not have design access to the page. I would examine the inherited roles using the User Manager and check if they have the Sitecore Designer role inherited.
It is possible they just need to be provided the correct role in the system so that they can access the buttons.
Have you tried the "Sitecore Client developing role"?
Also, for the blue arrow drop list location, in order for the rendering button to show up in that location, you have to check whether the button in the webedit folder under core database(/sitecore/content/Applications/WebEdit/Default Rendering Buttons). The Type field needs to be "Common" in order to show up in the blue arrow droplist.
Example can be the "Edit related item" (/sitecore/content/Applications/WebEdit/Default Rendering Buttons/Edit related item) shows up in the blue arrow droplist.
I've just had my website migrated from Joomla 1.5 to 2.5, however, I am struggling with the menus. This might be because of my choice of template.
The website is using the bizglobal 1.7 template. The problem is the top menu: I can set up various menus and submenus, but I want all the menu items to be available. For example, if I select the first top level item then all the ones below are immediately available. But the remaining top level items don't show their children unless I click on the parent menu item - whereupon the original children don't drop down. Pictures are better than words, so please have a look at http://www.simsig.co.uk with the green top menu (currently SimSig and Forum).
Many thanks.
In the module manager look for the module that's displaying your main menu, it should be type menu.
Is the show sub items marked to yes?
is it possible to hide or deactivate a menu item in the file button called also jewel button? I´m able to hide completely the file button with javascript, but I want to hide or disable only some menu items in the flyout menu.
Thank you in advance
You will find these Jewel buttons within the application ribbon. You can choose to hide these buttons in your customizations.xml via some hide HideCustomActions. The names of some of the Jewel buttons you will find are:
- Mscrm.Jewel.NewMenu.NewActivity
- Mscrm.Jewel.NewMenu.NewRecord;
For example, within your appointment ribbondiffxml section within your customizations.xml, you could have a HideCustomAction like:
<HideCustomAction HideActionId="CustomHideAction.JewelMenu.NewActivity" Location="Mscrm.Jewel.NewMenu.NewActivity" />
