build killer visuals with sharepoint 2013 search & display templates
DESCRIPTION
Solutions can no longer simply be functional, they need to look good and provide an excellent user experience. Thought the Search Results in SharePoint 2013 are already a great improvement over our previous experiences, it is even better when we take advantage of what it offers to change how results are displayed. In this session, you will learn how to build a reusable, beautiful and dynamic menu built from a search query. See how to build a Display Template in SharePoint 2013, so that any returned Search Results can provide users with a dynamic menu to explore and interact with them. See the difference between Control Display Templates and Item Display Templates to build your own interactive solutions with your SharePoint Content. The Display Template will be available at the end of the session.TRANSCRIPT
