Composed Look and System Master Page

Hi,
I have been able to create my composed looks, but it keeps resetting our System Master Page setting to match that of the composed look master page setting.
My Question - Is there a way like an event reciever or something so I can extend the Composed Look list to set different System Master pages? Seems pretty cool to let users choose there own look, but we do not want to change the backend look and feel as
a few scenarios remove useful key elements when in the backend from in the display if its a team site compared to a published site.
I cannot use a web feature, or make it part of the site feature because there are multiple composed looks and i need it to apply the system master page when the user chooses "apply this look" or what ever that label is they click.
Thanks

I haven't test this but when you hit apply on a composed look the Composed Look list is supposed to be updated.
I've read that SharePoint updates the 'Current Item' in this list to reflect your newly changed settings.
You could try an event receiver on that list for Item Updated on the SPListTemplateType.DesignCatalog template type ID = 124, which is the Compose Look List.
Found the reference

When a user applies a theme in the Change
the look wizard, the wizard also updates a theme named Current in the Composed Looks
list and the design gallery. When you apply a theme programmatically, you have to update the Current theme manually. The following example shows how to update the Current theme.

Changing Default & System Master Pages In SharePoint 2013

I want to change the system master page & default master page of a SharePoint 2013 site collection. In Site Settings in the Look & Feel section Master Page is not at there. But there is Design Manager. In the design manager where can I change the
above mentioned Master Pages.

Hello,
If publishing is activated you can use the page /_layouts/15/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx
You can also use the Design Manager. Choose a theme and then you'll be asked for fonts, colors and...master page.
Hope this helps.

Zero bleed at inside page on even and odd master pages

Hello guys! Going directly to my question would be how to apply bleed option specifically on inside pages when working with individual master pages for master and facing pages on the main document. The thing is when I've set no bleed on inside on my Document Setup it has applied on my even and odd master pages (remembering I have individual master pages set on my document). I am not sure if I was clear enough but I keep it open for eventual comments and so on. Thank you.

Ok Peter. Thank you! I am posting some screen shots to help understanding.

Placement of datamerge boxes and moving master page items

You helped me with my data merge problem earlier. Now I have successfully brought my excel info into Indesign with datamerge but I can't seem to get the multiple boxes to sit on my page, they are grouped together to the left and down from my page.
Also I've used master pages to create a header and footer for each page and the left hand page behaves as it should, but the objects on the rh master page appear lower and to the right of where they should be. I've attached a screenshot so you can see what I mean. It's a bit hard to see the rh page header, but it should be similar to the lh page. I'm using CS6.

After a bunch of trials and errors I think I've done the multiple records correctly. Just had an A4 page with nothing on it except the one text box and with no master pages - I changed to facing pages and did the master pages after I'd done the data merge.
It seems odd to me that the header and footer on the lh page is correct but not on the rh page when they've been made the same way.
I've just gone through my whole document and moved all the text boxes to where they should be and if I don't come up with some remedy that's what I'll do with the rh page but I'd really like to solve this mystery as I'm so pleased with the whole data merge system that I'd like it to work 100% properly.
The overset text is not a problem as I'm going to link my text boxes to deal with text of different lengths and some fields to be deleted. I've done the data merge several times while I worked out the right size for the text box to fit my desired page format.

Combining Indesign files, and maintaining Master Pages

Hi
I have some Indesign files which I need to combine.
But I'd like for them to keep their individual Master Pages,
because of how they are page numbered.
I suppose there is a way of working with Sections for this,
but the page numbers appear on either the left side or the right side
depending on whether they are even or odd...
So is there a way of doing this?
I'm stuck...
Only other way I can think of is doing separate PDF files and
combining those... But there's gotta be a way in Indesign... Hasn't there?
Thanks a lot
Nikki

You are correct, printing double sided indeed.
And yes, the reader will see it as spreads.
To be honest, we are both relatively new,
and are just following what people in our
positions in the past have done.
They used to do their catalogs
all in Photoshop, and then combine into a PDF.
So even simply using InDesign to layout the pages
was a bit of a stretch in terms of opening
up eyes!
The way we're doing it should still work out fine though
I guess it just wasn't the most efficient.
Is this what you mean?

Master pages not applying to site and subsites

I am having an issue with a master page not applying to a site and subsites. The site is created using the community template and has the following hierarchy:
TopLevel: SharePoint Central - server/SPCtrlv2/sitepages/welcome.aspx (webpart page)
subsite1: Community - server/SPCtrlv2/community/sitepages/categories.aspx (community template)
subsite2: Learn - server/SPCtrlv2/learn/pages/default.aspx (publisher template)
subsite3: Showcase - server/SPCtrlv2/showcase/default.aspx (blog template)
The community site was created and then the Welcome page was changed to point to the Welcome.aspx location. (not sure if that matters) When making the application from the top level via Site Settings > Look and Feel > Master Page > dropdown from
Site Master Page (SPC_Global), the master is only applying to the Learn sub site. In SP Designer, the master page/ css files are not showing although they are on the site. (Using designer 2010)
I was able to apply the master with no problem when the top level used the publisher site template. Unfortuately, the community template is not available at the sub site level so we created a new site with the community template at the top.
Any guidance you can provide is much appreciated

Hi,
According to your description, you want to apply master page to all sub sites.
Did you use SharePoint 2010 or SharePoint 2013?
If you use SharePoint 2013, you may need to use SharePoint Designer 2013 to find the master page file.
For applying master page to all subsites, I suggest you do as the followings:
1. Make sure you have enabled the “Reset all subsites to inherit this site master page setting” in the Top Level “site
setting”->”site master page setting”.
2. Check whether you have enabled “Inherit site master page from parent of this site” in the “site setting”->” site master page setting” of each sub site.
There are some detailed articles for your reference:

Change site master page not working in team site

For an intranet site I have a heavily customized master page but want to retain the default v4 master for admin pages. I haven't activated publishing for the site but can access changesitemasterpage.aspx and set the site and system master page.
Action:
Set site master to custom, set system master to v4
Expected result:
Exactly what the description says:
"The system master page will be used by administrative pages, lists, and document library views on this site."
Actual result:
ALL pages use the v4 master.
The only way to get the custom master to work is to change the system master setting to "custom". But then the styling interferes with the functionality of the admin pages. Is this another case of SP not doing what it says it's going to do,
or is it broken?

Hi ,
For your issue, there are two approaches you can refer to:
1.Activate publishing feature, set custom master page for “Site Master Page”. The site master page will be used by all publishing pages - the pages that visitors to your website will see.
2.Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS, you can find all the application pages in the folder (such as settings.aspx) . Open the aspx page
and find the dynamicMasterPage attribute at the page tag, change the value to default.master instead of custom.master. (not recommend)

Looking for Scripts that Replaces Text and Master Pages (Batch Missing Files and PDFs)

I have just found the Script Library panel in FM 10. (Always used InDesign before.)
I'm up to replace a text string and two master pages in 100+ documents. Tried to google for some nice solutions to make this automatically but cannot find any scripts/macros to FM at all.
Do you have som tip where to find such scripts/macros?
To facilitate my work I also look for a batch script that automatically updates the image pathes in each framemaker file (image folder has been renamed).
And at a last FrameMaker -> PDF Batch converter.

100 is a small enough number that no time may be saved writing a script (assuming none exist for the purpose).
I'd be tempted to ...
Create a sourcing file that has the new MPs needed (and safe versions of MPs "Left" and "Right")
Create a new Book file.
Add to it all 100 of the files needing update (this is the only tedious part).
Use Find/Replace from the Book menu to fix the text string.
Select all book component files:
File > Import > Formats
Import from Document [MPsourcefilename.fm]
[Deselect All]
[*] Page Layouts
[Import]

I've tried everything and need help pls. I just try to make a textbox in the footer of the master page. it should look like this:
Master Page:
But in every other Page the alignment changed, the footer changed and the textbox in the footer too. It looks like this:
This only happens, when I put the textbox in the footer of the master page. When there is no textbox, if have no problems with the alignment and every page looks like the master page.
I really don't know what i am doing wrong.
Info: The checkbox "Footer" of the textbox is on and i deactivated "sticky footer" in the properties. All pages are using the master page.

Working with master pages and page layout, what I have been doing wrong

I have worked on customizing the page layout and the master pages for a couple of site collections.
But now I read two restrictions which I was not following 100%:-
I should avoid directly modifying any default templates, and instead of that I should take a copy and modify the copy. So that any future updates will not override my modifications.
Also I should avoid directly modifying the .aspx files, and instead of that I should edit the html file which will automatically reflect on the .aspx files.
So currently I have these cases inside my SharePoint sites:-
Inside my enterprise wiki site collection, I have being modifying the Enterprisewiki.aspx page layout, for example I added new columns such as Page title and I remove the page rating, also the chnaged the color and format for the page fields.
Inside my team site I took a copy of the seatle.master master page (I name it seatle_copy.master)and I apply my modification to the seatle_copy.master directly and not inside the .html file. Even I do not have a html version for the modified seatle_copy.master?
So can anyone advice how I can fix these two issues. For the first issue how I can make sure that my modifications to the EnterPriseWiki.aspx page layout will not get override during any future update.
also how I can generate an html version for my current seatle_copy.master file so that I can modify the seatle_copy.html instead of the seatle_copy.master in the future?
Please can anyone advice?

Hi johnjohn123,
1. I would definitely make a copy of the EnterpriseWiki.aspx page layout and make changes to that. You can then set your pages to use your custom page layout. Typically, I provision these via Visual Studio and a module for uploading them to the SharePoint
master page gallery.
2. For the master page, the html version is new to 2013 and is meant to simplify branding, however, it's not required. You can still work within master pages and provision those via features if you'd like. The key is to create your own master page and never
modify the default.
If you need code samples for any of the above, let me know and I can supply it.

Page content disappears in Edit mode - Custom Master Page

Hi All,
Below are the two issues I have with my master page.
1) I am facing the strange issue with the pages created using custom page layouts and custom master page.
In browse mode, everything looks perfect and as expected. But when I try to edit the same page, all content disappears as soon as page ribbon appears. When I click back on Browse tab on the ribbon, everything appears back normally.
2) Also When I apply my custom master page as site master for Publishing site it works I can see all my custom design and layout. But when I apply same for team sites, unless I change system master to my custom master page, it doesn't reflect my design.
Does anyone face this issue before?
Thanks
Pramod

Once in edit mode, are you able to view the page's source and do a "Find" on a certain keyword that should normally appear in your page's content? Is it there?
I'm trying to determine if its a server side issue with your master page's code that's causing the content not to be sent back across the wire to the user or if the content is there but just not properly presented. Thanks

Custom master page issue in subsites

Greetings!
I've run into an oddity with a custom master page on my SharePoint 2013 Enterprise server. I copied the html for the seattle master page, renamed it so it wouldn't change the seattle master, made an addition to it to add a reference to a custom css
file, then threw it back up on the site so SP would make a new .master file with it. I created a new web app and site collection, put the custom css file in the Style Library and added the custom master page to the Master Pages.
So, all that being done, I changed the look of the top level site to use the new master page and it looks great and seems to be working as expected. We've got a number of subsites planned for underneath this top level site, I'm thinking no problem, just
put the custom master file in the master pages and we'll be good. So I create a subsite, put the custom master page in the subsite's Master Pages, change the look. The master page and custom css apply and it looks good, but, then the problem starts.
When I go into a document library and change a view or add a view or delete a view I get back an odd response page from SP. In the url I see this: https://topsite/subsite/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=65001
and in the body of the message: 69|pageRedirect|owssvr|https://topsite/subsite/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx|
When I go back into the subsite, whatever change I was attempting when I get these results worked fine.
So, why does my custom master page work fine on the top level, but not on the subsites? If I switch the subsite back to the Seattle.master, the oddity goes away, so that tells me it's something to do with my custom master page and/or custom css. I did
some searching for owssvr.dll?CS=65001 and didn't see anything that helped. I checked IIS and the web.config file and don't have ASP.net tracing on that I could find.
All that the custom css is doing is increasing the size allowable for the site icon (.ms-siteicon-img) to allow for a larger icon (180px square) and it pushes the side Nav Box down a bit to make room for the larger icon and changes the font size for the
side Nave Box (#sideNavBox). Since it works on the top site, I'm not suspecting the css, but, it's not making sense to me why the custom master page wouldn't work in subsites either.
I ran into this issue earlier, it was showing up when deleting folders from the document library. I thought I'd made a boo-boo somewhere in creating the custom master page, or how I'd added it, or something (kind of a learn as I go situation here), so I
deleted the entire web app and recreated it, hoping for a clean start and a good master page and everything would be good. Guess I'm still missing something.
I swear that the ONLY change I made to the seattle html file for my custom page was to add this line just below the corev15.css line: 
So, that's my sad story. Any suggestions, other than to punt on the custom master page?
Thanks!
Steven

Thanks. I've been experimenting with this for a few days now, and there's lots I don't understand about why and such, but your process above works. That's a big load off me right now and I really appreciate it. I'm going to be able to survive the initial
roll-out and implementation of the new site. Going forward, I've got lots to learn and find out, I've already heard that there's a desire to really redesign the master page for the site and subsites, way beyond the little CSS customization I did. Fun.
If you've got a little time though, perhaps you can provide some explanation. If not, no problem.
On step 6, when I do as you detail, click the System Master Page and reset all the subsites, it seems to work fine with my custom master page. If I do that with the Site Master Page settings, my custom page causes the redirect issue in the subsites again.
This is whether I do the Site Master Page by itself, or in conjunction with the System Master Page settings. If I revert back to the Seattle master page in the Site Master Page settings and my custom pate in the System Master Page, the issue goes away again.
It is completely messing with my head, trying to figure out why that would be, and this is all beside trying to figure out why adding the one little CSS reference to the Seattle master to create my master page breaks things (sometimes!).
Just fyi, what I've ended up with for now is pulling my custom master page out of the system and using the Alternate CSS URL to add my custom CSS to the Seattle master page on the sites. As I thought about all this, I decided I didn't want to leave the breakable
custom page out there for some unsuspecting site manager to accidentally pick and get everyone screaming about the broken sites.
Thanks again,
Steven
