Master Pages Changes

I made a "Master B" page and applied it to a sister page. I then built upon that sister page. After completing it I realized the page and browser length was too long (therefor leaving a lot of blank space at the end of my content until the very bottom where I have placed a disclaimer. I went back to the Master B page and changed the "bottom of the page" marker, the "bottom of the browser" marker, and the "bottom of the footer" marker. But after making those changes to the master they did NOT change on the page I applied this master to? What am I doing wrong? I even tried dragging Master B to that page to see if that would do it, and that did not help. I'm a COMPLETE novice when it comes to EVERY Adobe product so I hope I'm describing my problem correctly.

Hi Katherine,
The header and the footer guides are locked on the page, however, they are movable on the master pages. So you will be move the header and the footer guides along with the other guides on the master pages, however, the same does not work on the page.

  • Master page changes in different site collection.

     Hi,

  • 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.

  • Why sometimes Master Pages change/shift content on Content Pages???

    I come to you with another conundrum. I hope one of you have seen something like this happen before!
    Each month we create a newsletter and then we brand it for our various clients - each client getting a different header/footer on all the pages. So we created MasterPages for each client, and when it comes time to export, we apply the Client Master Pages to the content pages and export for each client separately.
    However, we have SO many problems with this because inevitably SOMETHING changes in the process. And I am determined to figure out why.
    Here is what the bottom of the page looks like. in this particular troubling document. This has our own master page applied to it.
    Then when we apply a client's master page, BAM - this happens.
    See that odd white space?  The blue rectangle that the More Information is sitting on top gets PUSHED DOWN for no apparent reason.
    I have investigated all of the master pages. There are no extra pieces of anything. Yet all of the master pages are doing this and I can't figure out why.
    I've looked at the layers situation - there's nothing weird about how the layers are set up. I've even tried locking the content layer but this still occurs.
    WHY does this happen?
    The only way I've found to stop it is to GROUP everything in that section on the page before applying the masters.
    But I'm trying to understand why this would happen?
    Where should I look for anomalies? Would there be something about the grid or baseline grid I should check on the master pages vs the content pages? Is there some check mark somewhere I'm not thinking of?
    I just am totally baffled since there's NOTHING in the middle of the Master Pages that would be affecting the colored box like that.
    Any ideas, you brilliant people?? You guys have helped us solve other puzzles in the past and we are grateful for any light you can shed on this issue!

    It would be important to see WHAT is on that master page? What is on the page?
    Do you work with layers? This is very important! Are all items on the very same layer in both versions?
    Do you work with paragraph and object styles? It is a must do!

  • How to upload only Master Page changes to server

    Hi guys
    I've been working on a massive website. It started out as a small brochure style website, but has now grown to a multitude of subpages and categories, etc. I exported the Muse site to html and started working in Dreamweaver, creating all the extra subpages, etc.
    The client has now made changes which has to be done on my master page in Muse. I have done these, exported the site to a new location, and thought it will be as simple as uploading the CSS for the master page to the server to see the changes. It's not working.
    Any ideas on how to upload only the changes I made to the master page to the web server?
    Thanks

    Actually, Muse master pages and BC templates and fundamentally different in some key ways. While you can create a BC template using Muse, a Muse master page is not uploaded as a BC template.
    svendextro, as Brad stated, once you edit outside of Muse you give up the ability to further edit within Muse. The content and settings on a master page are part of the code generated for each page. There is no independent master page in the generated code that could be modified in the way you're expecting.

  • How can I make my content follow my master when master page size is changed?

    I have a header with a menu structure etc. that is set as a master page. When I create a new page and apply the master to this page, everything looks fine. I will then start designing the rest of the page. However, if my master page should change size, the content of the page it is applied to will not move accordingly. What am I doing wrong?
    I'll try explaining it with an example:
    Say my header on my master page is originally 250px in height, and I design all the pages using this master, but then decide that my header needs to increase to 300 px in height. Then my master header will just be laid OVER the content of the page. Isn't there a way to make the content under the header move automatically when the master size is changed?
    Also, it really should be possible to add more than one master to a page.

    The correct master is applied, but I can't get it to work. Am I doing something wrong with the guides?
    I have included screenshots that show how the master looks, how the page with the master looks, and what happens when I change the size of the master page.
    Master:
    Page with applied master
    Content doesn't move when master page changes size
    Please let me know what I'm doing wrong!

  • 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: <!-- SPM:<SharePoint:CssRegistration Name="/Style Library/skcustom.css" after="corev15.css" runat="server"/>-->
    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

  • How to apply master pages across sections or whole

    It's a very basic problem to which I'm not readily finding the answer in searches. I wish to apply master pages and consistently, no matter how I format the request, am notified: "one or more of the pages specified are not valid page names." So please provide an example of how the page/section names are supposed to be written for:
    A 100 page book with 1 section;
    A 100 page book with 2 section;
    Applying master page changes to only a subsection of the book (i.e. pages 50-75).
    I'm aware it's similar to "Sec1: 1-100", but not precisely that.

    OK, I think maybe I'm beginning to understand waht you are doing. Are you trying to use the Pages Palette menu to Apply Master Page to a range? You would need to include the section number for both pages, like this: Sec1:1 - Sec1:100.
    You can also select the pages in the palette first, then use the apply master command. That might be easier.

  • 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?

  • Changing font/-size of a text field on master-pages not possible? (field prop)

    Hi,
    I would like to change the font and font-size of a textfield on a master page.
    I wonder if I do anything wrong, because the font-options (size, font etc.) are simple greyed out / not avaliable, when I click on my text field.
    It seems, there is any way to customize the font-properties of a textfield (only) on master-page.
    Well I guess it would work with java script in init-event ...  but really, why the hell it should not be possible simply to use the properties/text properties?!
    Please correct me if I am wrong. Do I do anything wrong or is it really not possible to customize font of a text field on master pages?

    Hi,
    I was just about to post, that I figured it out.
    Actually, I use Livecycle Designer in SAP (transaction SFP). There seems to be a bug (one of hundrets by the way).
    If I click on a field, that does not have text-property e.g. subform, text-option menu greys out.
    Afterwards it stay this way until I click/doubleclick into a simple text (not text field). From that moment on, text/font-option menu is available again, until I click on something without text. => So pay attention and click wisely
    coming soon: "SAP meets Livecycle Designer - a (Bug)Lovestory", hardcover 124 Pages. ; )
    by the way: SAP does not sopport interactive forms higher than Reader 8.1. Its statement "8.1 is fine enough for everything you need in a SAP/Adobe Interactive Form". So beware of using XFA higher than in 8.1. sad, but true ...

  • Master page: header changes are not reflected in existing topics

    A few months ago this forum helped me to troubleshoot and fix problems with the Show More | Show Less command that I inherited from a previous writer.  I chose to use the Single Button approach and used this code, on the Master Page, for "onclick":
    <body>
    <?rh-script_start ?><script src="ehlpdhtm.js" type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"></script><?rh-script_end ?>
    <?rh-region_start type="header" style="width: 100%; position: relative;" ?>

       <td><h2><img src="btnshowall.gif" onclick="ShowAll(this)" alt=""

    This worked fine until recently when I changed the logo in the left cell of the header table. Today I discovered that the img src = line had gone away. And so I re-entered it, and it works fine on new topics, and on some, but NOT all topics.
    Here's what happens on an older topic:
    Preview the topic.
    Click Show All button. A Script Error message appears: "The value fo the property 'ShowAll' is null or undefined, not a Function object. Code = 0. file = ...../Help/Administration/rlt1F1.htm.

  • Pages don't reflect changes in their master page

    I'm using InDesign CS5.5 (v. 7.5.3) with Mac OSX 10.8.4. I found one old question about this problem in another forum (with no submitted answer):
    Assume you have a simple document with one master which simply features a text frame. Well, now if you add some inset spacing to the text frame on the master, this is immediately reflected on the pages to which the master had been applied. However, if you edit the master again and set the inset spacing back to zero, the text frames on the pages to which the master had already been applied keep the inset spacing. If one adds new pages, the text frames have no inset spacing, as I would expect. Can someone tell me why InDesign behaves this way... i.e., why are the changes to the master not reflected on the assigned pages when I set the inset spacing back to zero.
    This question was asked re CS 2.0. The problem seems to remain in CS 5.5.

    I made the changes to the frame inset in the master pages. This is a normal setting for frames, and not complex--and in any case, the point was that I had mistakenly set an inset value, but wanted to reset it to zero, so really nothing to create as an object style. So I reset the value to zero in the master pages. No update. I tried reapplying the changed master page to the doc pages. No update.
    You note: "And if you reset the text frame in the Master it won't reflect in the pages."
    Is this a known feature/bug? Why shouldn't inset values be part of master text frames and thus updated with them? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
    Thanks for the suggestion about object styles, though. I don't think it applies here, but I can see the usefulness elsewhere, and I've never really looked at them.

  • Master Pages don't transfer when I change page size in a book

    I had exactly the same problem in CS4, which is why I switched to CS5.5 -- but apparently nothing has changed.
    I have a book of about 30 chapters.  It was originally set up in 6x9 format, but after it was all formatted, my client decided he wanted the pages 5x8.
    It should be easy, right?  Just change the layout for the master pages of the Style Source document, fix the text sizing, etc.  Then in each ensuing chapter, just download the new masters from the style source document.  When I get a warning asking me if the master pages in the target document should be overwritten, I say yes and it does its thing.
    Only it doesn't work.  Oh, the text in the masters is all over the place, which is to be expected -- but the master pages and the book pages are still 6x9, not 5x8.
    I tried synchronizing the book, being careful that Master Pages is checked in the options.  I got a warning that some of the text would need to be fixed.  No problem.  Except that the pages in all the documents except the Style Source are still 6x9!!
    I have a feeling I've wasted my money on the upgrade.  A lot of bells and whistles have been added, but the CS4 problems aren't solved.
    Please, can somebody help?  I do this for a living, and I'm wasting waaaaaay too much time trying to clean up messes like these.

    No, Peter, I never solved it.  But thank you for asking!
    I finally started a whole new book, with the smaller master pages.  I saved a few blank pages for each chapter file, then I copied and pasted the text of each chapter onto the new pages.  Fortunately I was able to transfer paragraph and character styles to the new document, and the formatting of the copied text transferred also.
    But it was still a lot of work.
    I don't even want to think about trying to design a document with different size pages!

  • 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.

  • Changing number of columns on master page, does not affect pages?

    I create a master page. say three columns per spread.
    I go to actual pages, flow my type in with the loaded cursor and holding the shift key... it works like a charm... text flows in the three colums, adding pages until the end of the manuscript...
    Now I decide I don't like the three columns. I go to the master page and change to 4 columns via "margins and columns..." under LAYOUT menu
    I go to the pages assuming that any change in a masterpage will translate to the pages... NOT!
    If I go to to my first page, the type is still in three colums...
    All other changes I make on the masterpage do translate to the pages... like say a color bar at the top, the size and font of the folios... BUT NOT if I change the number of columns???
    Can anyone shed light on this?

    You MUST tick the Option for "Master Text Frame" when Creating a new document.
    OR you MUST include a Text Frame with the number of Columns on the master page.
    Copy the text to the clip board
    Delete all page except page 1
    remove the existing text frame.
    Drag the Master A to the page 1
    CTRL or CMD (MAC) click shift the text frame to break it from the master.
    Now paste your text in here
    Insert a new page
    And click the Overload (red cross) button and connect it to the page 2 hodling down shift.
    From memory - hope I got it right !
