Setting the custom master page through powershell is NOT working

Hi,
I am writing the below code to set the custom master page through powershell.
But its not working .when i went to site settings-->master page --> in the drodown , the maste page set is seattle.master ONLY, though my current master page is available in the dropdown.
Can anyone pls help, whether i am missing in the below :
      Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell
       $SiteURL = "http://srvr1:22307/sites/SPW5"
    $weburl= $SiteURL
    $Site= Get-SPSite $SiteURL
    $web = $Site.OpenWeb()
$web.CustomMasterUrl = "/_catalogs/masterpage/myMasterpage.master"
$web.MasterUrl = "/_catalogs/masterpage/myMasterpage.master"
$web.Update()

Hi,
Is it a publishing page? If yes can you try the PowerShell scripts corresponding to the following code snippet?
var publishingWeb = PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb(web);
publishingWeb.CustomMasterUrl.SetInherit(inheritFromParent, false);
publishingWeb.CustomMasterUrl.SetValue(masterPageUrl, false);
publishingWeb.MasterUrl.SetInherit(inheritFromParent, false);
publishingWeb.MasterUrl.SetValue(masterPageUrl, false);
I've noticed sometime (not sure though) that Master page doesn't get updated if the inherit property is not updated first.
Thanks,

Material master distribution through BD10 is not working

hi i am learning and created all the customizing setting to send material master data from sending system to the receiving system but the sending system shows idoc has been sent to port Ok with status 03 but i dont see the material being created in the receiving system. Where am i going wrong? Do i need to trigger BD11 in the receiving system?

Hi Suresh...
              After reaching port with status 03..
              we have to run the program RBDMOIND for status conversion..
              Once we run this program all the IDoc's which are at port are
              sent to their receiving partner...and status becomes 12...

Setting of "opening web pages from last session"not works when open next time

''setting to "open windows & tab pages from last time" does not work.''
That would be very surprising but a change was made to Firefox 4 to always have the choice of going to History ("Alt+S") and choose "Restore previous session".
With Firefox 5 coming out in a few days (June 21-22) you might try again then, if the solution the developers built in does not work for you. Do you know about pinning tabs ('''app-tabs''') they persist across sessions as a convenience -- if I really want to keep something permanently then I would bookmark such things as a group. Because they can be closed easily.

Custom Error Pages based on URI not working in WS 7

We have added a handful of Error Page Redirects to our SSL configuration based on URI that do not seem to be working
The entry in the default object looks like
Error fn="send-error" code="500" uri="http://oursite.com/error.html"
The entry in the error logs look like:
[Date] warning (1000): for host X.X.X.X trying to get /URL/CREATING/ERROR, send-file reports: HTTP4142: can't find http://oursite.com/error.html (File not found)
[Date] config (1000): for host X.X.X.X trying to get /URL/CREATING/ERROR, send-error reports: HTTP4145: missing parameter (need path)
I've tried using both the admin server and manual entry in the configs to add this, but no luck. Does the instruction need both a URI and PATH?

I believe you need a redirect if you want to change between SSL and non-SSL.
How about something in the line of (example with code 404):
<If $code=404 && $security>
Error fn="redirect" url="http://oursite/error.html"
</If>.. where +$security+ means SSL.
About the Error and URI, it seems uri="/error.html" would work, but it will not switch you from SSL to non-SSL.
I'm curious why you would want to redirect a user to the non-SSL instance in this scenario..

Setting the default ALSA Sound Device, wiki methods not working?

Hi!
I want to set my default audio device different from the current one, namely different from my default laptop analog output.
My laptop has two outputs, analog and HDMI, however, IF it is connected I want my default audio output to be my USB Dac.
aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

alternatively, it is also okay for the default to be set at boot time, as i shutdown my laptop when changing setups.
i tried the method with an alsa-base.conf file in /etc/modprobe.d/ and also the /etc/asound.conf file.
with the alsa-base.conf file, I get error msgs when executing even aplay -l, while the asound.conf method gives me:
speaker-test 1.0.27.2
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels

my asound.conf:

default "hw:0x262a:0x10e1"
has anybody an idea on how to possibly fix this?
thanks a lot !

Thanks for the link you posted.
Unfortunately, i don't really get the advice posted there...
I figured out one thing by myself though, in my asound config the name of my DAC was wrong, I missed an 'U' in the front.
Still, I am not sure why i even have to do any config at all, really. Or maybe my expected behaviour is not the default.
I think of it like that: always use my laptop output as default, however: IF i plug in another audio device, it's got to have a reason why i plugged it, so change the default to the newly plugged in device.
Is there a way to do that?
ps. eg now it got somehow f'd up and i have TWO default devices. no idea how it did that/how that's possible.

Custom Master page set as a default on feature activation in Moss

I've a site in moss. I have created feature in my solution and on feature activation it will set the custom master page
CustomMaster.master as a default master page and on feature deactivation it will set as a default master page
default.master.
The problem I'm facing is that if I'm activation the feature at first time then it will set the CustomMaster.master as a default master page but when I'm deactivate the feature it will remove the
CustomMaster.master page and module. but when I'm again activate feature at that time it will not create mo1dule and CustomMaster.master in "_catalogs/masterpage/". So, no error was given on feature activation but
it will give error while I'm accessing my site as a "File Not Found" because
CustomMaster.master is not created.

Pls guide me for solve this issue.

Hello Sameer,
When you are calling "RemoveCustomMasterPage" function?
Also make below change in web.config file your web application to know the problem:
1. Open up your sites web.config, and make the standard custom errors edit. You want it to be < customerrors mode="Off"/>
2. Then, search for the CallStack="false" and change it to CallStack="true", you should find this in the "<safemode>" node.
3. Find: <compilation debug="false" />, Replace with: <compilation debug="true" />

Setting Custom Master page in search results page - Publishing site

Hi,
I have a publishing site, in which i have a custom Master page.
However when doing the search in the site, the search results does not show the custom Master page.
Is it possible to set the custom created Master page for the search results page? How to achieve this?
Thanks

Hi Venkat,
The search page for a publishing site is a file available in the layouts folder (I believe it is the osssearchresults.aspx if you see the address bar). It is used by all web applications and site collections in your farm. So ideally you should not change
it. I mean you can change it to point to your master page but it is bad practice ..
I would instead do the following
1. Create a custom search results web part page and place it in the site collection itself (one of the document libraries)
2. Custom search results is not difficult because all search results pages are made of a set of Out of the box search results web parts. If you add the same webparts to your page as the default search results page, you have effectively created a copy of
it
3. go to site settings --> search settings and change the search results page to your newly created page
4. The newly created page by virtue of its location will automatically use the master page the rest of the site uses.
I could not spend the time to try the above for you but I am sure the above will work.
Thanks and Regards,

How can I create a custom feature, which will automatically take a custom master page while creating a site ?

Hello ,
I am new in Sharepoint development . I am trying to create a Sharepoint feature to Activate master page automatically while creating the site .Below mentioned code I am using to do this .
But When I am creating any site under site collection .It is not applying automatically . I have to manually Activate that feature .
SPSite site = properties.Feature.Parent as SPSite;
SPWeb rootWeb = site.RootWeb;
Uri masterUri = new Uri(rootWeb.Url + "/_catalogs/masterpage/mycustom.master");
rootWeb.MasterUrl = masterUri.AbsolutePath;
rootWeb.CustomMasterUrl = masterUri.AbsolutePath;
rootWeb.Update();
How Can I create a feature that can activate the master page at same time of site creation under Site collection ,Without any manual work ..
Thanks in Advance ..

Hi,
You can associate master page during feature activation as follows:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/19933.sharepoint-2010-set-a-custom-master-page-during-feature-activation.aspx
Then, you can use feature stapling to apply automatically on site creation:

Add Right Side Column and Web Parts to custom Master page in SharePoint Online

Hello everyone,
I hope this is a simple question, however I was fighting the issue it presents for a while. I am in the process of customizing SharePoint Online Look-and-feel with a new layout.
The site collection was created as a
Team Site before I got involved with the project, and populated with numerous sub-sites and pages. I activated required
publishing features, created html with corresponding styles and graphics, and used the Design Manager to convert the html file to the custom Master page. While SharePoint automatically assigned “ContentPlaceHolderMain” div area, I
also used default Oslo page as example to copy sections of the code for dynamic components (left column and navigation, recent items, the ribbon, etc.) from it and placed them in my new master page, pointed all CSS references to
my custom style sheets, etc. Everything works great, however I need to make one last addition -
my task is to make changes to display web parts such as Calendar and Recent Documents in the right column in the Master page.
My custom layout has a header, footer, main pan and two side columns. Most of the default master templates come with the LEFT column already embedded and populated with several placeholder
to serve dynamic content (PlaceHolderLeftNavBarTop, PlaceHolderQuickLaunchTop, PlaceHolderLeftNavBarDataSource, PlaceHolderLeftActions, so on).
My challenge is that I have the RIGHT side column as well, for which I don’t think the default placeholder exists. I need to add a small Calendar box and Recent Documents parts to it, so they
display across the entire site governed by this master page.
The issue is –
even after activating Publishing features (enabled SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure under Site Collection Level, and SharePoint Server Publishing under the Site
Level), there is no Snippet feature (usually available under the generic Publishing Site); this customization of the Team Site allows using Designer and apply custom templates, themes, so on, just like you would under the Publishing collection, but not the
Snippet utility I could use as the solution to embed the web parts on the master page.
Recreating the entire site under Publishing Collection is not an option due to the directions I was given, I am to use this existing one, and need to see if
there is a workaround to either activate the Snippet feature or use another solution to display the web parts inside of the column in the Master page.
If the only solution is to use Web Part Zone, what are the steps to add it AND populate it with the abovementioned apps?
Can anyone suggest how to create a workaround and add this feature? The environment is role-based so both elements need to be dynamically rendered based on the user’s role and activities.
I am more of a front end designer than developer, so if any custom coding and set up required, please kindly provide some basic steps, if possible?..
I greatly appreciate any help and suggestions!
Thank You!

Updating your Master Page to also include a right rail should be sraight forward enough with a new div or divs in your master page and then the proper styles to make room for this column as well as position the column.
I have not seen why you cannot find the snippet gallery link when previewing a HTML Master Page in the browser. Have you tried loading the snippet gallery by its url? As an example, for my tenant on SPO, I can load the Snippet Gallery for the olso.master
with the following url:
https://pixelmill.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/ComponentConfigureControls.aspx?ComponentName=TopNavigationNoFlyoutWithStartNode&Url=%2F_catalogs%2Fmasterpage%2Foslo.master
Change the domain to match yours as well as update the "Url" querystring var to point to your master page. See if that loads the snippet gallery.

Deployed Custom Master Page Not Visible in Designer

My team has created a custom master page and has packaged and deployed it as a feature. The custom master page file correctly appears in the master pages gallery via the Web UI, but it's not showing up in the Master Pages folder when the site is opened
in Designer. What are we missing?

Hi,
when the master page was deployed by a sandbox solution please make sure that the master page is checked in and approved. SharePoint doesn't check in and approve files that was deployed by a sandbox solution. Also make sure that the correct content type
is assigned. because otherwise you won't see it too.
To set the content type of the master page on deployment correct you just need to simply add the following inside the <file>
<Property Name="ContentType" Value="$Resources:cmscore,contenttype_masterpage_name;" />
If the master page is a farm you should also add the content type but it will be checked in automatically. I hope you are on root level of your site collection because the master page will not deployed to the sub sites.
In SharePoint Designer you also have two different approaches to find the master page.
Approach 1:
Use the Master Page Entry on the navigation pane left. The Master Page will only show up if content type ins correctly set.
Approach 2:
Go to "All Files" -> _catalogs -> masterpage
By using approach two you will see the same amount of files that you can review in SharePoint. You will also find the article pages in there.
Hope this helps
Kind regards

User detail in custom master page

Hi All,
I want to make appear logged in user detail in master page.
In SharePoint 2013, User can see "about me" detail in System account appearing at top right corner.
I want same user detail to appear in custom master page. I am not sure where we can look for it.
I guess we need to copy user detail tag from oslo master page and can paste in our custom master page.
But i am not sure where to find this.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks..
Rakesh

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display user information in the master page.
We can register SPSWC at the top of the master page to call the user profiles.
Register SPSWC at the top of the master page:
<%@ Register Tagprefix="SPSWC" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
Register the propertys below the starting Form tag:
<SPSWC:ProfilePropertyLoader runat="server"/>
There are some good articles for your reference.
