If your goal is simply to change the text, or hardcode a link without the need for any code behind, you could do it even easier with PowerShell.

Author: Tobias Zimmergren Url: http://www.zimmergren.net Since people have been bugging me to get started with the blogging again, I guess I should just take their advice and get to it.

I will in a later blogpost also show you how you can use SharePoint Designer as a tool to create the actual XSLT for you in combination with the DataViewer Web Part, and then how you can modify the created XSLT to match whatever specifications you’ve got in your designs. I would recommend…
