http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/109218/custom-master-page-is-showing-inside-the-dashboard-designer-pps
Thanks

But here's a few more things:
When I click on the page 1, the Master Page view is shown. When I click on Master Pages, the Master Page view is shown, also when I click on
untitled Content Area, the Master Page view is shown. All these made me think that extra page is the Master Page.
When I look at pagination for page1, here's what there:
When I click on the (untitledSubform) (page1) pagination, here's what's there
I can't get this page to go away. Thanks.

Background image of custom master page just shows for 1 second.

Hi,
I have created a custom master page from a html code and I have applied to it on my site collection, but when I open it on the web browser the background image just show up for a second or less and then the background turns white.
I'll aprecciate any suggestions in order to solve this.
Regards.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that Background image of custom master page just shows for 1 second.
I recommend to change the class to use .main-content.
.main-content
background-color:#F4F2E5;
background: url('/Style%20Library/Images/image.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-;
You can also use a contol called cssregistration. Add a line that looks something like this, right below the existing csslink:
< SharePoint:CssLink runat="server" Version="4" /> (under this you add:)
< SharePoint:CssRegistration runat="server" name="/Style%20Library/Scripts/style.css" After="coreV4.css" />

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

Create a blank page without custom master page applied,left navigation,top navigation

hi,

Das

Hi
3 ways.
1.use a blank page using sharepoint designer
2. remove applied master page for an existing page
3 use &isdlg=1 on your URL ( to hide the top of the master page elements )
http://domain/path/page.aspx&isdlg=1

Create a custom Master Page in SharePoint Foundation 2013

Hi,
I am new to SharePoint foundation.
I am trying to create a custom master page and save it as template, so that i can use it for all other sub sites. But i don't know where to start. Also i tries searching in Google, i got results for share point and not for share point foundation.
So, Please give me a step by step procedure or a link to step by step procedure on how to create a master page, save it as template and use it for a sub site.
Thanks in advance,
Gowtham R

Few points to note related to SharePoint Master page:
You don't need to create master page template. If you deploy your master page in site collection level you can reuse the same master page in subsites without copying again and again, rather just by referencing
You have not mentioned how you are going to deploy your master page. If you have any Visual Studio (VS) solution already, try to add your master page in the VS solution and deploy your master page (and other branding components) as SharePoint WSP
solution.
Deploying master page will not activate the master page, you need to use some kind of 'Web Level Feature' to activate your branding - the feature will basically set the master page property of SharePoint site to your custom master page.
Please follow the links below for steps by steps instructions (and you will find many just by googling 'sharepoint master page visual studio'):

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
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

How hide hr from left navigation (snippet) on custom master page

Hi,
I have create a custom master page and add it the left navigation snippet, after making some css customization, I'm unable to hide the <hr> tag.
This is one of my tries on the .css file
#DeltaPlaceHolderLeftNavBar > hr {
clear: both !important;
border: 0px solid transparent !important;
height: 0px !important;
visibility:hidden !important;
Regards.

I can't really see the right id in the screenshot, but something like this should work:
#DeltaPlaceHolderLeftNavBar > hr {
display:none;
or
#sideNaveBox hr {
display:none;
maybe even display:none!important;
Even better trying to remove the hr from the snippet.
Good luck!

Search hover panel not showing up in Internet Explorer with custom master page

The hover panel is not showing up in internet explorer. I am using a custom master page and it works no problem in the other browsers. When I fire up the debugger there is an error message when i hover over a search result item:
I tried debugging the JavaScript but i am not sure what is going on with it.
Am I missing reference or something done like that? It has to be something simple because I have been scratching my head for a while on this.
Any ideas?
Brad Wight

Have you tried rendering the site in IE Compatability Mode? Compatability Mode solves a lot of problems in this area because older versions of IE had a unique interpretation of HTML code.
Start here:

Can I set up a master page to show custom alternating footer text dependant on page number?

Hi,
Is it possible to set up a master page to show different messages in the footer of a brochure dependant on page number? For example;
Page 1: Buy from us because...
Page 2: Our website address is...
Page 3: Here's a special offer...
Page 4: Our website address is...
Page 5: Buy from us because...
Page 6: Our website address is...
...and so on, repeating until the end of the brochure. The intention is for the footers to update automatically if the pagination of the brochure in question needs moving around - or if the messages need changing.
Thanks!

Thanks, but the text needs to be on a single master page which every page is assigned to. This is so the text alternates correctly regardless of whether new pages are inserted or moved. If I assigned separate master pages to individual pages and then moved the pages to a different location, the alternating footer text would then fall out of sync. I hope that made sense!

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()
Das

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,

What to do if my master page is too small for custom master page column, I need to change the papers

What to do if my master page is too small for custom master page column, I need to change the papersize from A4 to US letter size *

My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
You may need to go back and start over. Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

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
