I have a need to display the summary view announcement in home page and some sub-sites in SharePoint 2010 Foundation. I have created the custom announcement using sharepoint designer. The problem now is that I cannot get the summary view to display on my custom announcement. It still shows the normal list view. What do I need to do to ensure my custom announcement shows summary view format. Images attached.

Hey Bisi,
The first thought is to ensure that your web part with the correct view is on every sub site. If the sites are already built that may be a little more of a pain to do :-(.
If sites exist here are some steps to follow:
- Find your existing web part that you like
- Edit the web part and export the configurations or XML
- You should then be able to upload that web part to the site collection gallery
- If you open the page in edit mode and select insert you should see the options to upload a web part.
- From there you can open any page and find your uploaded web part.
- Ensure its connected to the right list at the top level site and the correct view is showing
That should do the trick. Another alternative is to use the content query web part on all pages and surface that information/view accordingly , but the above is easier if you are new to SharePoint.
Hope that helps.
