Custom control in custom page layout not getting shown

Question

Hi,
I have created a site column for Date field:
<Field ID="{GUID}" Name="MyCustomPageLayoutDate" StaticName="MyCustomPageLayoutDate" Group="TestGroup" Type="DateTime" Format="DateOnly" DisplayName="Date" Required="FALSE" ><Field ID ="{guid}" Name ="MyCustomLayoutDateDisplay" DisplayName="Date Display"
         Group="TestGroup"
         Type="Calculated"
         ResultType="Text"
         ReadOnly="TRUE"
         Required="FALSE">
    <Formula>=TEXT([Date],"MMMM dd, yyyy")</Formula>
  </Field>
This is added in the page layout content type:
<FieldRef ID="{guid}" Name="MyCustomPageLayoutDate" />  <FieldRef ID="{guid}" Name ="MyCustomLayoutDateDisplay" />
In the custom page layout, it is added as below:
<Publishing:EditModePanel ID="EditModePanel5" runat="server" CssClass="edit-mode-panel">
<tr>
<td>
Date
</td>
</tr>
</Publishing:EditModePanel>
<PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel ID="DateEditModePanel" runat="server" PageDisplayMode="Edit" SupressTag="True">
<tr>
<td >
<PageFieldDateTimeField:DateTimeField ID="DateTimeField1" FieldName="GUID" runat="server">
</PageFieldDateTimeField:DateTimeField>
</td>
</tr>
</PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel>
<PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel ID="DatePublishModePanel" PageDisplayMode="Display" runat="server">
<tr>
<td>
<SharePoint:CalculatedField ID="CalculatedDateField" FieldName="guid" runat="server" />
</td>
</tr>
</PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel>
In the edit mode, the date is getting shown, and I am able to select a date. When the page is published, the entered date is not getting displayed.
How to fix this?
Thanks

Answer 1

Hi,
I tried to reproduce this issue like this:
1. Create a DateTime site column “MyDateTimeCol01”;
2. Create a Calculated site column “MyCalculated03” with formula “=TEXT(MyDateTimeCol01,"MMMM dd, yyyy")”;
3. Create a Page Layout content type contains the two site columns above;
4. Create a Page Layout with the Page Layout content type, the source code of this page layout as below:
<asp:Content ContentPlaceholderID="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server">
<PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel runat=server id="EditModePanel1" PageDisplayMode="Edit">
<SharePointWebControls:DateTimeField FieldName="9492c1ff-851f-4d1c-bcbf-5637b69ebd63" runat="server"> </SharePointWebControls:DateTimeField>
</PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel>
<br/>
<PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel runat=server id="EditModePanel2" PageDisplayMode="Display">
date time text:
<br/>
<SharePointWebControls:CalculatedField FieldName="9c00c4dc-6a53-4abd-9fa4-6b4dd266c898" runat="server"></SharePointWebControls:CalculatedField>
</PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel>
</asp:Content>
5. After that, create a publishing page with this custom page layout:
In Edit mode:
In Display mode:
I suggest you follow the steps above to make another test to see if the issue persists.
