Handling Changes in Master Pages.

Hi,
I've designed a PDF form using livecycle designer.
I got a masterpage which is having an editable area. When this fields are edited in any page, I want this changes to be reflected in other pages also.
How can I do that. Is that possible?
Regards,Raghu

Try changing the binding to Global for the field.
Thanks

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?

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.

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.

In Aperture Books, changes to Master Page FONTS don't get applied to pages?

In making a book in Aperture, I can change the font in a Master Page (or create a new Master Page with the font I like), but when I try to apply the changed/new Master Page to any given page in the book, the font I want doesn't show up. It's still there in the Master Page, but doesn't get applied. I've seen the thread on a related subject from 2008, but the one work-around proposed there is over my head, technically. Is there anything new to help me in 2012?

What happens when you perform an Apply Master Pages operation?

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)

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.

Applying Changes to Master Pages

Is there any way to apply a change to a master page to a topic that is already linked to that master page? I tried removing the link, making the change to the master page, and then re-linking the topic, but it the "old" version of the master page gets applied. I also tried making a change to the master page and then using the Apply To All feature when generating, but again, the version applied is the "old" master page.

Hello again Paul
Okay, so the fact you are referring to them as Master Pages would seem to imply you are using RoboHelp 8. When you edit a Master Page in this version you note that there are "Placeholders" on the page. There is a Placeholder for the Body text. You may also add other Placeholders as well as Headers and Footers.
If you inserted the button bar inside the Body placeholder, it would only be related to topics you created using the Master Page as a template. If you later changed this in some way, for example removing or adding a button, it would only be reflected in topics you later created after making the change. Topics created prior to the change will be unfazed.
You can change this behavior by inserting the element just above the Body Placeholder. When content is outside the Placeholder, it gets copied to any topic associated with the Master Page.
As for RoboHelp being "helpful" and leaving the code alone, you are on your own with that. Trial and error will tell you whether RoboHelp will clobber the changes to the code. About the only way to ensure that doesn't happen is by using some custom JavaScript to "write in" the desired code.
Cheers... Rick

Hi there,

- So I created new page layout

- When I can click on new page this message shows up.
Sorry, something went wrong
An invalid or empty reference to a Cascading Style Sheet file was specified. Valid references must specify only a filename that ends with a ".css" extension
Thanks for help

Hi Tim,
As per my understanding try to do check the below things,
Try to restore the previous version of master, page layout and the home page and cross check the malfunctioned part by comparing both current and previous content
Check for special characters added in page layout ,page
Cross with the content type mapped with this new page layout
Check for custom solution is retracted from Farm
Optionally check for any updates gone in server
OR
Refere the below URL if the above wont works,

Replacing master page layout for documents

Hi all! I have been making a book, and have been using our standard master page layout. I now have to change the master page layout of the whole book, and I have made a document that uses the new master page layout. I did the typical make new master page layout, gave it a name, and everything seemed normal. I then went to add it to the existing documents but, my new layout is nowhere to be found. How do I add this new layout? I thought I could just change out the current master page layout for the new one. The only changes are the graphics at the top, and some header and footer changes. Body text stays the same. I'm on FM11 by the way.

> I then went to add it to the existing documents ...
How? Import Formats from the Book menu should do what you want, followed by an Apply Master Page operation (assuming the new pages have exactly the same names as the old pages to be replaced).

How to set master page for Wildcard inclusion Managed path in Sharepoint 2013

for all users have same master page.
How to solve this . Thanks in advance.

You need to update the mysitehost masterpage. all master pages are created as mysitehost template.
Here is how you do it.
Create a site collection with template as mysitehost
Modify the mysitehost masterpage
Once it is done, update the mysitehost in user profile service application

Master Page Content Boxes – Adjusting?

I thought I understood how to use content boxes on master pages, but I think I may have been wrong!
I have set up master pages, for example one right hand page has a square frame. I then drag and place an image in each of the boxes in the main document pages.
However, having then attempted to change the master page, moving or resizing the box on the master is not reflected in the dependent pages within the main document.
(From reading the help pages, I believe this might be because I have overridden it?)
I am part way through creating a document and I realise now that I want to change the page size. Having already added content, I want to be able to reposition all of the main document's image boxes.
Apologies for being ill informed about InDesign. I suspect more preparation would have seen me through here.

Thanks for replying!
Notwithstanding this option in CS6 (I'm using CS5)...
If I don't adjust the page size and I simply move the image box on the master, it does move all of the images on the main pages.
Why should changing the page size first affect how master pages interact with main pages? Is there any way round this?

Repeating Table in Master Pages

Hi =)
I'm having some trouble with a dynamic xml form I'm creating.
Inside a page I have a repeating table that allows the user to insert a new row (max 4 rows).
All I want is this page to adjust nicely to the size of the repeating table.
Since I've read that it is not possible to change master page size through javaScript, I've created a page set with different sized master pages that adjust to the different number of rows.
I tried to set some conditional breaks to change from master page to master page accordingly to the table size. The thing is, whenever the user adds a row, the two master pages will appear. The first one blank and the next one with the table.
I think I only need a way to make the previous master page disappear.
Can someone give me some advise?
I need help.
Thank you =)

Hi =)
I'm trying something different: I want to make the blank pages disappear by changing the position of the Pages in the Page Set.
Suppose the table only has 2 rows.
The script on the click event of the button "add row" is the following:
     //Adds an instance to the row
     form1.page1a.Table1.Row1.instanceManager.addInstance(true);
     //Counts the number of instances
     var n = form1.page1a.Table1.Row1.instanceManager.count;
     //If number of instances = 2 then the Pages position is changed
     if (n == 2){
          xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page1.pagePosition = "rest";
          xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page2.pagePosition = "first";
I also have a conditional break in the Table1 like this:
     "When"
          form1.page1a.Table1.Row1.instanceManager.count == 2
     "Break"
          before
     "to"
          Page2
This forces the entire table to change to the Page2 once it has 2rows.
The only thing that ruins this brilliant idea (cof cof =P) is...well, are this commands:
     xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page1.pagePosition = "rest"
     xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page2.pagePosition = "first";
They don't work! Why? Does anyone know?
Thanks =)

Synchronizing Master Pages in Book

I seem to have hit a Catch-22 and I'm hoping somebody can help.
I'm working on a book consisting of 25 chapters. Currently it's all in one file and that's becoming pretty unwieldy. So I'm breaking it up into separate files and using the book features in ID.
Every chapter starts the same way -- the first page has a big header with the chapter name. Text starts about halfway down the page. All other pages have folios with chapter names and page numbers, etc. And all the text is threaded together into a single flow.
So I've created two master spreads, one for the first page and the other for the other pages. I use those masters to create pages and then thread them together. I put together all the chapters this way, and added the chapter names, but didn't add text. And then I realized that the text box on the first page starts at the wrong place. I want it to start a bit higher on the page -- making the box bigger vertically. So I change the master page in the style source and I synchronize.
And that doesn't work. Now I have two text boxes on each starting page -- one with the old height and one with the new one.
According to the docs, if a master item has been overridden, and then when you synchronize, the item becomes detached. So I guess my question is: how do I add text to a text box, or thread it, without overriding it?
Or, more specifically -- how do I change the size of a text box on every starting page of every chapter?
Thanks very much to anybody who can offer any illumination on this one!
Steve Cohen

Jeez -- now I feel like I'm going nuts. Thought I had it figured out. So I went and created some chapters. And bang, I'm right back where I was. So now I'm checking every bloody keystroke.
Say I have two chapters: 1 & 2. Chapter 1 is the style source.
I command-option click on the frame on the first page in chapt 1, so it's overridden. I do nothing to chapter 2 (the same frame is not overridden)
Then I change the master page in chapt 1, making it shorter.
So far so good. The change propagates when I synch.
But if I just cmd-opt click in the same frame in chapt 2 -- so both frames are overridden -- bang, when I synch, the frame is detached in chapt 2.
No threading required. Just overriding the frame in both the style source and the same frame in the other chapter.
