Editing the master page of My Site - Changes not visible to all users

Hi!
I opened the mysite.mydomain.com site on my SP designer and made some changes in a master page located in the Master Pages library. I checked in the changes and now I can see them when I open the site on my browser.
But only when I use the account that made the changes using the designer.
How can I propagate these changes to be visible to all my users?
Publishing features in are enabled already.
Thanks!

No! Duh!
I forgot about that part! Actually I don't see this option in the designer. I had to go to the browser to do it. Anyway, now it works! Thanks!

Edit the Master-Page from all blogs in mysite

I am currently setting up mysite. I was able to configure the mysite-masterpage for all profiles, but I can't seem to change the masterpage for the blog! What is the best way to change the masterpage from all blogs?

Allright, I've found some time to look into the whole design again, and I can see what the problem with this solution is.
With the solution mentioned above, new created subsites under the masterpage are set up with the declared masterpage. The problem here is, that with my personal profile-links ... (f.e)
http://servername/my/personal/user1 ->
http://servername/my/personal/user1/Blog
http://servername/my/personal/user2 ->
http://servername/my/personal/user2/Blog
http://servername/my/personal/user3 ->
http://servername/my/personal/user1/Blog
... the blogs are always created under a different site as a subsite.
I'm going to specify my whole reason for it, since there might be an easier way and I'm just complicating things - the reason for this specific blog-masterpage is to disable the "Newsfeed", "SkyDrive" and "Websites" under the blog.
So is there any way to:
a) Change the link from the MySite-Creation in order to configure a masterpage with the solution mentioned in another post above?
or b) Perform the changes (mentioned here above) in a different way?

Comments on MacBook Pages– how can I make them visible for all users?

When I use Pages on my MacBook, the comments show up as black text in a yellow box on my computer, but when I export it as a .doc and email it to others, it shows up as white text on yellow for some PC users. This makes it hard for them to read my feedback. Why does it do this? How can I prevent it?

How to change the master page and theme dynamically in sharepoint2013 anonymous site

hi
I have to change the master page and theme dynamically in sharepoint2013 anonymous site. i have to show one master page to authenticated user another master page to anonymous user through code
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the master page and theme dynamically based on the anonymous users or authenticated users.
Per my knowledge, there is not an OOB way to change the master page and theme dynamically.
SharePoint is based on Asp.net, as we know Asp.Net request processing is based on pipeline model, so we can delevlop a custom HttpModule to dynamic change the master page based on current logon user profile(using SP Object Model to get).
Another solution could be to use the SecurityTrimmed control that injects the CSS depending on global user permissions, more information, please refer to
it.

Can't change the master page after upgrading to SharePoint 2013.

After upgrading our farm to SharePoint 2013 we are having trouble changing the master page for sites that don't have sub-sites. We are still using the v4 UI version, and that appears to be what is causing the problem. The error we get when going to /_layouts/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx
is:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Internal.CodeBehind.AreaChromeSettingsPage.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()
at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
I took a peek at the source code for AreaChromeSettingsPage.OnLoad and found that it references a CheckBox control that does not exist in the v4 ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx:
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
base.OnLoad(e);
this.EnsureChildControls();
if (!this.Page.IsPostBack)
this.LoadValues();
if (base.Web.Webs.Count == 0)
this.resetSystemMasterPageSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
this.resetSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
this.resetAlternateCssSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
this.resetThemeSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
base.ConfigureCancelButton(this.BtnCancel);
If I manually add a checkbox control with the ID "resetThemeSubSitesCheckBox" to a hidden panel in the v4 copy of ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx the page works, but obviously this is not a best practice. How can we fix this without upgrading the UI version, which
we are not yet ready to do?

Thanks Mike - Could you please share what is your next step then? I also have custom master pages and layout but I am going to make new master page and layout in 2013 as we need to change the existing branding too. so, i upgrade the site collection. I understand
the Look and Feel will not persist after the upgrade but I am concern that at least the page should show the content on the page after the upgrade. The page had Calendar webppart on it but after the upgrade it is coming blank.
any suggestion?

Why is the tab being edited at the "master" page always in active state when i am selecting other tabs?

i am trying to create a basic mobile site with adobe muse. i have created a page with tabbed panels using the the tabbed panel widget and link each tab to its respective pages. let's call my tabs 1, 2 and 3. the linking are fine, but everytime i selected 2 or 3, tab 1 will also be in active state. the selected tab is with reference to the tab that is being edited at the "master" page, i.e, if i am editing tab 2 at the "master" page, tab 2 will always be active when i select tab 1 or 3.
i do not need this kind of confusion. can anyone help?
i am using adobe cc. thanks!

Hi,
This is an expected behavior of tabbed panel . When you add a tabbed panel in the master page by default one of the tabs is Active. So whenever you load the page, whichever tab you had selected in the Master page will always be active along with the other tab which you used as a link.
I would suggest you to use a Menu widget or a composition widget in order to avoid this.

Change Font in Master pages so that it changes the rest of the template?

I cannot change my font in the Master pages so that it effect the rest of the template. I would have to go through each of the page and change the font. I just want the body paragraph a certain font and I don't know how to do that. I don't know if I explained my question well enough.

Ok,
go to page panel, and select all page that you want to apply a mater page items, mouse right click select Apply Master to Pages
Next select the Master page to apply

Change Master page of a site using ECMA Script in sharepoint 2010

Hi All,
I'm working on SharePoint 2010.
I have a requirement where in I need to create a site and apply a particular master page to the newly created site using
ECMA Script.
The site gets created but while applying the master page it gives me an error stating the method 'set_masterUrl' is not defined.
Here is my code:
$(document).ready(function () {
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(createSite, "sp.js"); //This is used to ensure until sp.js is loaded, createSite will not be executed.
function createSite() {
var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var collWeb = context.get_web().get_webs();
var webCreationInfo = new SP.WebCreationInformation();
webCreationInfo.set_title('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_description('Description of new Web site...');
webCreationInfo.set_language(1033);
webCreationInfo.set_webTemplate('STS#0');
webCreationInfo.set_url('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_useSamePermissionsAsParentSite(false);
var oNewWebsite = collWeb.add(webCreationInfo);
context.load(oNewWebsite);
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess, onfail);
function Onsuccess() {
dummy(context, oNewWebsite);
function onfail(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
function dummy(context,oNewWebsite)
var strMasterPageUrl = '/_catalogs/masterpage/Test.master';
oNewWebsite.set_masterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.set_customMasterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.update();
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess1, onfail1);
function Onsuccess1() {
alert("Done");
function onfail1(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
Please help.
Thanks,
Sachin

The issue is coming because the scope of context and oNewWebsite is not available in your success method. Try to modify the code as below and see if that helps.
$(document).ready(function () {
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(createSite, "sp.js"); //This is used to ensure until sp.js is loaded, createSite will not be executed.
var context = null;
var oNewWebsite = null;
function createSite() {
context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var collWeb = context.get_web().get_webs();
var webCreationInfo = new SP.WebCreationInformation();
webCreationInfo.set_title('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_description('Description of new Web site...');
webCreationInfo.set_language(1033);
webCreationInfo.set_webTemplate('STS#0');
webCreationInfo.set_url('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_useSamePermissionsAsParentSite(false);
oNewWebsite = collWeb.add(webCreationInfo);
context.load(oNewWebsite);
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess, onfail);
function Onsuccess() {
dummy(context, oNewWebsite);
function onfail(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
function dummy(context,oNewWebsite)
var strMasterPageUrl = '/_catalogs/masterpage/Test.master';
oNewWebsite.set_masterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.set_customMasterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.update();
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess1, onfail1);
function Onsuccess1() {
alert("Done");
function onfail1(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
The other way is to use this.context and this.oNewWebsite. To see how you can modify your code have a look at the following link.

Changing pie chart to 3D pie causes it to lose the master page scheme and become rock patterns instead.

When I change my Keynote pie chart to a 3D pie chart it loses the master page color scheme, becoming rock patterns instead. I haven't been able to get it to return to the original color scheme.

Thanks for the response.
On the first issue, unfortunately formatting the legend using that technique results in no change to the legend. The only way I was able to get it to resize was by resizing the entire chart area.
On the second point, I must be missing something. Do you mean that there is no way to format a chart such that all slices have the desired formatting at runtime unless the report is always run with the same parameters? I might as well just draw a static picture :/

Problem to change the master page height using javascript

Hi everyone,
I've been trying it but no luck... appreciate any helps possible.. Thanks!
I've a masterpage called 'UILayout':
Long(Height)=100mm, Short(Width)=100mm
I've a button click event with the script to set the Long to 160mm:
====================================
//display current height
var curHeight = xfa.form.form1.pageSet.UILayout.medium["long"];
xfa.host.messageBox("Current Height = " + curHeight);
//set height to 160mm
xfa.form.form1.pageSet.UILayout.medium["long"]="160mm";
//relayout the pageArea
xfa.layout.relayoutPageArea(0);
====================================
Doesn't work, I wrote another button click event to retrieve the height, and it returned 160mm. But the layout just doesn't refresh with the changed height....i'm using LC Designer 8.2, form saved as Dynamic XML PDF , compability set to 7.0.5, view in Acrobat Pro 7.1. Thanks...

I do not think you will be able to adjust the Master page size as it is tied to the Content Area size as well. I tried to adjust the pageisze and the content size but it was ignored. I can get at the properties to change them but that is it.

Click a button to change the Master Page

Hi everybody,
I have a LiveCycle Designer question…
Is it possible to have a button onclick event to change the Pagination “Place” property of a subform? I would like to change the Master Page that a subform is placed on using a script on an onclick event. I’m not sure if this is possible… wondering if you knew a way…
Thanks a lot.
Jing

Hi Jing,
I don't think it is easy, here is a sample that allows you to choose the page size and orientation (which are different master pages), Adobe LiveCycle Designer Cookbooks by BR001: Season Planner (or Year Planner) PDF Template
It effectively defines the form against each master page and recalculates the widths and heights when the page selected is made, but I don't know of another way.

Everytime I copy pages from one ID CS3 doc to another, it re-applies the master page objects!!

Please Help,
This is a topic I would really like to get to the bottom of.
We have InDesign CS3 templates for creating our reports.
These templates contain around 10 different master pages with grey placeholder image boxes and text boxes with dummy text.
When we copy pages from one ID document to another, all the master page objects that were originally assigned to the pages are re-applied!!
Resulting in lots of grey dummy boxes and text boxes re-appearing on top of the page items!!
It's so annoying because we always customise the pages once we've pulled down master pages to work on, so when we copy pages across to other documents we have to apply the blank master to be able to kick out all the master objects easily. Then we need to add the page numbers and footers back onto the blank master page.
My question is, is there a way to switch this off, so when I move or copy pages from one document to another, nothing happens relating to master page objects, the pages simply just copy across as they are?
Please help! If not I may have to ask an external developer to write a script to fix this, it drives 900 of us crazy!
thanks in advance for any help.
Or am I just being ridiculous and not actually realising you can switch this off, doh!

Just a bit of further clarification on this issue (very few people really understand what's going on with master pages and overridden master page items):
When you override a master page item, the object is moved to a local page, but a connection is maintained with the original master page item. This a) allows for the override to be removed (and return the object to its original state). This also, b) allows for changes made to the original master page item (other than the changes made to the local item from the point that it was overridden) to effect the local item as well.
When the connection to the master page item cannot be maintained, the local item gets disconnected totally from the master page, and becomes a regular, run-of-the-mill page item.
In light of this, there's three ways you can end up with duplicate master items:
Reapplying a master page (or applying a new one). When you reapply a master, all overridden master page items get detached from the master, and the original mster page item appears again in its original state. Most of the time this produces unwanted duplication of objects. To fix up your page, you have two options: a) Delete the master page item, and b) copying the contents of the original to the new master page item. The disadvantage of "a" is that you end up with an item which is totally detached from the master, and changing the item on the master will have no effect on the local item. The disadavantage of "b" is that it's a lot of work...
Moving a page to a different document. When you move a page to a different document which has the same master as the one originally applied, the master in the new doc is applied, and the effects are identical to reapplying a master page (i.e. overridden objects are detached). If the applied master (i.e. a master with the same name) does not exist in the new doc, the master is transferred over to the new doc along with the page, and the connections to the master page are preserved (well, re-created actually...). The workarounds in case #1 apply here as well.
When page sides change in a document, the objects on the facing page appears.
What happens here is a bit confusing, but here's an approximate explanation:
When you apply a master to a page or spread in InDesign, what you are actually doing is applying an entire spread to an individual page. You can thing of a master spread as an overlay (or more precisely: underlay) on the page with a window cut out to the exact page dimensions.
When the page side changes that "window cut-out" shifts to show the master spread items which correspond to the position within the spread of your current page (i.e. recto or verso). All objects which exist outside the window shift out of view (but still exist!).
When an object is overridden, the position of the object is defined by its location on the local page, NOT its position on the master spread. When the page then changes sides, the object remains where it was on the page (even though the object it's connected to on the master spread moves out of the window of view). A corresponding object on the facing page of the master (if it exists) will then show in addition to the overridden one.
Now remember: contrary to the first two cases, both objects are based on master ones: one visible one and one invisible one.
Dealing with this third case requires much more care than the first two.
The obvious way to deal with this would be similar to the first two, but if you remove the local object and transfer the content to the new maste object, the invisible master object on the non-visible page was actually removed, so when the page sides change again, the object will now be connected to the now-invisible master page item, and the correct master page item will be gone!
The "correct" way to deal with this would be to transfer the content to the new master page item and remove overrides (not delete!) on the local item (which will make it disappear, because it moves back to the invisible page). Of course, when page sides change again, it becomes necessary to repeat the entire process.
If the local object gets deleted, then your master spread is missing objects with no visible indicator of the fact. This can lead to confusion when the document might be edited at some later point in time.
I believe that this complicated and un-intuitive behavior of master pages is part of the reason people tend to avoid using master page items. Documents tend to get messed up in really odd ways... It's a real shame, because extensive use of master page items has a lot of potential for streamlining workflows and saving an awful lot of time. This behavior really puts a damper on really using master pages as templates.
Getting master page items to work the way they "should" was a big part of what I was trying to accomplish with AutoFlow Pro... When the master page items are defined as such (i.e. given a unique name), AutoFlow Pro solves all three of the above issues by keeping overridden master page items connected to the master page items on the currently applied master (and when a new master is applied as well!).
(When I have a bit of spare time, I think I'll write this up on my blog with some visuals to make this easier to grasp...)

Hi,
You could open the sites.aspx in Notepad or SharePoint designer, and set the master page to your own master page directly via editing:

Why can't I edit the Master Database

Can someone from NI please explain the reasoning behind not letting the user edit the master database? I want to do something simple like remove one of the redundant + and "dot" polarity indicators on some of the capacitor footprints without having to, one by one, change each capacitor to use my custom footprint.
I have found several errors in the master database yet I can't fix those parts or footprints or remove them, thus increasing the likely hood that they will get used by mistake/unknowingly again.
The only explanation that I can come up with is poor database design and fear of me "breaking" it. Something as simple as editing a part through the GUI should be simple enough to do to, please let me. No offense, but your master database is not good enough to warrant "no edits". Most parts I use are from the local database, but that is not an option for special case parts like resistors and capacitors.
Also, why I can't edit the database itself without using the GUI? (as is an option in all other CAD packages that I've used). The GUI entry point is extremely time consuming and error prone when a database script can often easily create error/typo free part numbers using existing symbols and footprints.
Greg

There are several ways you can achieve the results you looking for with respect to RLCs.
Ultiboard first searchs the User then Corporate the Master database when looking for footprints. So, if you want to make a modification to a footprint, make the copy the appropriate in Ultiboard into your User database. Then modify the footprint. When you transfer from Multisim to Ultiboard, Ultiboard will pick the footprint you customized (or fixed).
One thing to watch out for is determining the correct name in Ultiboard. The name in Multisim is often not the name in Ultiboard. I don't know of any simple way of determing the mapping.
Place the component with the footprint that you want to change (in Multisim)
Double click the component, and click Edit Footprint on the Value page
Click Select from Database. The footprint should be selected. The name in Ultiboard is the Ultiboard Footprint column (if it is blank, then the name in Multisim and Ultiboard is the same).
You can add new footprints to the list in the Place Component dialog. You do this in the Database Manager.
Go to Tools > Database > Database Manager
Select the RLC Components tab
Click the Add button to add a new definition. Note, the definition will appear for all components of the same type. Also watch out for the polarity of capacitors and other components where relevant.
