Master Page - Theme only applies to 'Owners' not Visitors

Hi,
I'd initially raised this as an issue in O365 forums but was pointed to here to help try and resolve the issue. Issue below:
We have designed a new theme for our default site https://[tenant information was removed by moderator].sharepoint.com (not the public site). In Master Pages https://[tenant information was removed by moderator].sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx we
have set our default theme to GCC/gcc (the name of our theme). We have then applied this to all subsites by clicking: Reset all subsites to inherit this site master page setting.
This works for me and the person who designed the theme and we can see the new theme. However anyone on that site with visitor / read permission cannot see the new theme and they just get presented a default theme with some css styles that don't appear.
I did notice that if i browse to https://[tenant information was removed by moderator].sharepoint.com/_catalogs/masterpage/Forms/Html%20Master%20Pages.aspx The master page gallery page on the parent site that the theme isn't listed in there
and there are two themes there in draft. How can we upload the theme in to master page gallery and publish the theme out?
Would this be the reason that our visitors to our site cannot see our new theme? Is there a way to get around the theme issue?

Hi Anandakrishnan,
The master page is currently published as a major version however the theme still only shows up for owners / members but not for visitors. Is this a permissions issue somewhere?
We created the theme by doing the following:
creating a new master page with a CSS file, published this master page and assigned it as the Site Master Page and the System Master Page.
If you are an owner or member of the site you can see the theme but if you are a visitor you cannot. Any other ideas?
We are using SharePoint Online and the plan we have is SharePoint Online Plan 1 as part of Office 365 business premium plan.

Custom Master Page changes wont apply to few page layouts

Dear All
I'm having issue applying custom branding to SharePoint 2010 sites.. Branding works overall fine but it doesn't apply to few pages.
For example if I click on Enterprise and Metadata Keyword Settings in Document library the changes are not applied. I notice it's a page called metadatacolsettings.aspx in layouts and I see it references application.master.. Similarly I see couple
of other pages out of sync and all of them have application.master as Master Page..
Any ideas why this could be happening.. Please let me know
Thanks

Hi,
pls check below links
There are a few things to consider.
Have all page layouts / master pages been checked in and published / approved?
Have you created a new page using the custom page layout?
Are you creating or modifying this content?
Keep in mind, the progression of rendering goes as follows:
masterpages determine the ASP.NET structural layout.
Page Layouts determine the SharePoint structural layout based on the masterpage ASP.NET structural layout.
Your .aspx pages determine what content to display based on the Page Layout SharePoint structural layout.

InDesign CS5.5 Exporting PDF master page hyperlinks only work on first 2 pages

We recently upgraded from CS5 to CS5.5 and now our hyperlinks that go to different pages in the PDF only are working on the first 2 pages of each document in the book. We have about 30 documents wrapped up in a indesign book. On the master page we have hyperlinks that allow users to quickly go to the index in the back of the book. After the CS5.5 upgrade the hyperlinks only work the the first 2 pages of each document. We export to PDF(print) with hyperlinks enabled.
I have tried the below:
- I have tried 2 different computers
- Deleted and re-created the indesign preference file
- deleted and re-created the hyperlinks

Can you recommendd the best way to manage the following:
I'm on a Mac. Created an enewsletter for a client in Indesign CS5 with 7 "click here"s throughout the document. The hyperlinks are to connect w other PDF documents not URLs.
Where will I have the best luck creating the hyperlinks - Indesign or in the PDF I export? I have Acrobat Pro if I need to create the hyperlinks in the PDF.
Except I can't figure out how to create the links in either program as far as what name to designate and where do the PDFs reside so people can link to them? And do I enter the file name of the PDF connected to the particular "click here."

Multiple Master Pages - how to apply to forms?

Hello!
I need to build a form with two pages, one with portrait orientation and the other one with landscape orientation.
So I created two Master Pagers, one for each, with correspondent orientations.
The first page is ok, following the portrait Master Page definitions. Now I want to apply the landscape Master Page definitions on the second page - I haven't found where to do it.
Please, where do I change this?
Thank you very much for any hints.
Marcos

HI Niall,
I'm glad to have found this thread as I have some forms which need 3 Master pages and something is wrong but I can't figure it out.
The 1st Master Page is portrait and will be used for the first two pages of content.
The 2nd Master Page is landscaped and will be used for the third page (or more) content.
The 3rd Master page has 'fixed' Revision History content and just is what it is, and is ALWAYs last on every form we do.
So I was able to get the first two content pages on the first Master page (portrait) and it looks fine.
So far, so good.
Now for the problem:
The next "content" page is landscaped, but I cannot put content on it. In fact, if I click on that page, the Master Page is highlighted.
If I delete it, the 2nd Master Page is deleted as well.
Moving on:
The next page does use the appropriate landscaped Master Page and looks good.
The final page is the Rev history page, as expected.
NOTES: on the difficult page I have tried to use the information you have here but it doesn't work as it appears to be a Master Page.
How does a master page show up in the Design View and not allow content to be placed on it? How can I remove it?
Thanks an awful lot - hope your weather is better than ours!
Slan!

Multiple master pages, But only first master page is printed or is shown in pdf preview.

Hi,
I have 8 master pages in my adobe form, But when I see the PDF preview or print only the first master page is shown or printed. Can anyone please tell me how to print or pdf preview all the master pages. The contents in the master pages are different.
Thanks in advance.

Master pages are used a background for body pages (similar to a background image).
You should put all your contents on separate body pages instead master pages.

Master Pages Appearing in Reader 7 but not in Reader 9

Hi there,
We have a requirement to make our forms compatible with Reader 7 but when we open form in that version all Master Pages are visible but only visible in Reader 9 if a particular page is using it. I don't seem to be able to control the visibility of Master Pages and would have thought that they should never be visible in and of themselves.
Does Reader 7 use master pages? Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks,
Kieran

Have you tried with Reader X protected mode "OFF" ?

Apply multiple master pages to multiple layers

I have a document that has multiple layer and I need to apply a different master page to each layer.
Layers are as follows and in this order:
     USA Pricing
     No Pricing
     Euro Pricing
     Yen Pricing
     and so on.
I have a master page created for each versions layer. I lock all layers except the USA layer and apply the USA Pricing master to that layer it looks great.
So I lock that layer and unlock the next layer and apply the applicable master to that layer and so on but, even though the other layers are locked what ever master
I last applied is the one that sticks to all layers.
How do you get the master page to stick to each layer without using the Master page override to each layer and making it become part of the page?
If you do that and then you have a change to the Master page on a specific layer/version you have to edit every page and can not simply make a global change on the applicable master!!
Thank you in advance for any help that can be given.

Do you mean that only one master page can be applied per page and that it is automatically applied to all layers of that page?
"so it sounds like you need to create a new master page with the attributes you need for each layer included in one place."
I don't understand what you mean by this? I have created multiple master pages that have everything I need on them to be applied to each layer!
They just don't stick to the individual layer! Maybe it the "included in one place" part of your reply that will work but, I don't understand what you mean by that!

Master pages failing to be applied (along with some unexpected behavior)

Hi all,
I am having trouble getting our structured app/template to apply master pages properly. We're on Frame 11 using an XDocbook, customized app.
Here is the configuration:
1. Reference page structMasterPageMap:
Maps element E:BookInfo to the "Title Page" master page.
Maps element E:PrefaceInfo to the "Frontmatter" master page.
2. Frame XML document content:
<bookinfo>
     <title>
     <edition>
     <copyright>
</bookinfo>
As you can see, this doc does not yet have a PrefaceInfo element, although one is allowed by the DTD. So the obvious solution is to either: 1) add one (wrap the <copyright> element in a <prefaceinfo> element as allowed); or 2) add an "E:Copyright" mapping to the ref page. Yet, neither of these work. Here's what occurs:
Solution A: On the Ref page, add a mapping from E:Copyright to the "Frontmatter" master page:
1. Open the document in Frame and note that the master page Title Page is applied, but the master page Frontmatter is not, as expected.
2. On the ref page, add the E:Copyright mapping to apply the Frontmatter master page.
3. Reapply Master Pages, and the Frontmatter page is applied, as expected. All is good....except. When you close and then re-open the document, no master pages are applied, not even the Title Page which had previous worked. Huh, what?
4. Remove the E:Copyright mapping from the ref page, reapply Master Pages, and the Title Page master page is again applied.
Note: This behavior is reproducible whether I replace the E:PrefaceInfo with E:Copyright on the reference page, or retain both. I can also reproduce this by using the paragraph tag instead, of the element, i.e. P:FrontmatterCopyright.
Solution B: In the document, add a <prefaceinfo> element:
1. Open the document in Frame and note that the Title Page master page is applied while the Frontmatter is not, which is expected.
2. Wrap the <copyright> element in <prefaceinfo>.
3. Reapply Master Pages. Nothing happens, i.e. the Frontmatter master page is not applied.
4. Save, close, and reopen the document. The Title page is applied, but the Frontmatter is not.
Yes, I have checked and rechecked that the actual master page names match those entered into the reference pages, including case. :-)
Possible conflicts/factors?
1. Could the structure of the document (as allowed by the DTD) affect master page application? The element <copyright> can exist both inside a <prefaceinfo> and independently under <bookinfo>. This doesn't seem likely, especially because as a test, I saved the doc as .fm, discarded the structure, updated the ref page to use para tags instead -- and still the master pages are not applied correctly.
2. Pagination can affect this -- at first we had Format>Page Layout>Pagination set to "Single Sided" so I thought that was why the left-hand Frontmatter was being ignored. But I have ruled that out; the template is now double sided, and Frontmatter is a left page.
I am stumped! Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Is Adobe World Ready Paragraph Composer the default in CS6 or something? Perhaps that must have caused some issue. I still don't know. I can confirm that no one else has touched this particular file, and it was created and edited only in CS6.
For new basic styles, you recommend aforementioned composer or the old Adobe Paragraph Composer, especially if the work is only in English (UK/India)?
Thanks for your time.

Edit Page options in ribbon disabled after applying modified Seattle Master Page

Hi,
I'm working on a modified version of the Seattle.master page, and I have an odd permissions issue that is seen when my user (a farm admin) tries to edit a page on the site. On some pages, clicking Edit Page doesn't do anything at all. On others, I've been
able to go into edit mode but not do anything with the Edit options afterward. In this scenario, most or all of the useful edit options are disabled, and I cannot use Save, Checkout, Discard the Checkout, Change the Page Layout, etc...
Checking the JavaScript console in IE reveals this JS error that I don't see in the OOTB Seattle:
SCRIPT5007: Unable to set value of the property 'href': object is null or undefined
[our.site.com], line 1128 character 590
Here's the function being referenced:
function _cUpdconetidProjectPropertyTitleGraphic(data, ctrl){ ctrl.href = slNavUrl; }
Other possibly helpful information:
Here is a snippet from the modified Seattle Master Page of where the ribbon code sits:
<div id="s4-workspace" class="ms-core-overlay">
<div id="s4-bodyContainer">
<SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl runat="server" AuthenticationRestrictions="AnonymousUsersOnly">
<wssucw:Welcome runat="server" EnableViewState="false" />
</SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>
<div id="ms-designer-ribbon">
<PublishingRibbon:PublishingRibbon runat="server"/>
</div>
As you can see, I have moved the Ribbon (div#ms-designer-ribbon) from its fixed position outside of the div#s4-workspace to inside of the div#s4-bodyContainer so that it scrolls with the page. Placing the ribbon inside div#s4-bodyContainer shouldn't be an issue,
as I've made a Design Manager Master Page in the past and placed the ribbon there as well without issue.
Does anyone know how I can get this modified Seattle master page to allow editing?

Hi,
Is there any custom JavaScript in it, sometimes error may occur due to some typo.
Suppose that we can do the customization like this: With a copied master page, we can apply a part of the change first, then check it in the browser to make sure it can work without affecting the OOTB features. Then apply other parts one by one with immediate
examinations...
By doing this, it would be easier to find out which step in your whole customization would cause the issue.

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,

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

Applying master pages while typing

I am running framemaker 7.0 (I realize it is a very old version). How do I force it to add a page based on a different master page that I have set up? Right now it adds the default (none).

FrameMaker is supposed to automatically apply Left and Right master pages to new pages as they are needed in facing-page documents, or apply Right master pages in single-sided documents.
Perhaps these troubleshooting steps can help identify the problem:
Verify what master pageis actually applied to a body page by selecting a body page, zoom it up to fill the screen, then view the master pages. The active master page is the one applied to the body page you just left. If this procedure verifies that the None master page is being applied to new body pages, then either something is corrupted, or perhaps somebody has customized your FM installation to run a script, or perform some other action that applies None when new pages are added.
Does None get applied in a brand-new document as pages are added? If yes, then again, FM may be corrupted, so you may need to run the Windows repair process on your FM installation (I'm a Mac guy, so I can't give details.) Or, you can try to uninstall and reinstall FM, but IIRC depending on which version of Acrobat is installed on the same system, there may be some conflict with the Distiller that FM installs. Others on this forum can advise you on these issues better than I can. Also search Google for terms like "repairing applications windows <name your version of windows>" without quotes, for details.
Open another new file, and see if None get applied when you perform File > Import > Formats (select all formats) from the troublesome file, then add pages. If this new file applies Right then Left, then the FM installation is probably OK, and the problem document may be corrupted.
A MIF wash run on a copy of the problem document may clear the corruption. Search Google for terms like: FrameMaker "mif wash" (note the quotes around mif wash - they focus the search.)
