-edit this page layout and new webpart zones by copying already present webpart zone (change their id's) or add from ribbon.
-save and publish it.

Modifying Page Layouts associated with a HTML page

Hi,
I have a Page layout that has been associated with a HTML file. What is the procedure/steps to modify the Page layout?Please suggest

HI ,
You need to change in HTML file,after saving it is applied to layout.
Please check the below links for reference.

How can I insert multiple page contents in the page layout properly?

I wanted to create 4 columns on the page layout. These 4 columns are of page contents.
After creating new web page based on that page layout, I attempted to enter 4 different inputs on all 4 columns.
Then, the result (from all columns) becomes the same.

How can I insert multiple page contents in the page layout properly?

First, I copied the HTML snippet for the Page Content on Sharepoint's Design Manger. The code of Page Content HTML snippet is shown below:
<div data-name="Page Field: Page Content">




<div id="ctl02_label" style="display:none">Page Content</div>
<div id="ctl02__ControlWrapper_RichHtmlField" class="ms-rtestate-field"
style="display:inline" aria-labelledby="ctl02_label"><div align="left"
class="ms-formfieldcontainer"><div class="ms-formfieldlabelcontainer"
nowrap="nowrap"><span class="ms-formfieldlabel"
nowrap="nowrap">Page Content</span></div>
<div class="ms-formfieldvaluecontainer"><div class="ms-rtestate-field">
Page Content field value. Lorem ipsum dolor sit incididuntet dolore.</div>
</div></div></div>


</div>
After I published the page layout, I found the code for Page Content from its ASPX page. The code is shown below:
<div data-name="Page Field: Page Content">
<PageFieldRichHtmlField:RichHtmlField FieldName="f55c4d88-1f2e-4ad9-aaa8-819af4ee7ee8" runat="server"/></div>
So, I attempted to create 4 columns by using 4 HTML snippets of Page Content on the same page layout. The page layout is generated from HTML file to ASPX file.
Then I edited some parts in ASPX page layout:
<asp:Content runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="PlaceHolderMain">
<table>
<tr>
<td style="width:70px;"> </td>
<td style="width:250px; text-align:right;">
<div data-name="Page Field: Page Content">
<PageFieldRichHtmlField:RichHtmlField FieldName="f55c4d88-1f2e-4ad9-aaa8-819af4ee7ee8" runat="server"/>
</div>
</td>
<td style="width:40px;"> </td>
<td style="width:200px;">
<div data-name="Page Field: Page Content">
<PageFieldRichHtmlField:RichHtmlField FieldName="f55c4d88-1f2e-4ad9-aaa8-819af4ee7ee8" runat="server"/>
</div>
</td>
<td style="width:25px;"> </td>
<td style="width:200px;">
<div data-name="Page Field: Page Content">
<PageFieldRichHtmlField:RichHtmlField FieldName="f55c4d88-1f2e-4ad9-aaa8-819af4ee7ee8" runat="server"/>
</div>
</td>
<td style="width:25px;"> </td>
<td style="width:200px;">
<div data-name="Page Field: Page Content">
<PageFieldRichHtmlField:RichHtmlField FieldName="f55c4d88-1f2e-4ad9-aaa8-819af4ee7ee8" runat="server"/>
</div>
</td>
<td style="width:175px;"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</asp:Content>
The 4 columns for Page Contents appeared on the web page when I created new page using that page layout. But the problem is that all 4 columns displayed the same result from 4th column.

WebPart Zone in Page Layout not displaying

I have created a new page layout using Design Manager, two files are created, one HTML file, and the other ASPX file with the same name. You cannot edit the .aspx file directly in SPD, you can only edit the .html file. You will find in the .html all
those ASPX tags commented.
In the HTML file I added a web part zone, I copied a snippet from the design manager, right after a page content snippet. As shown below. Saved and previewed the page with no errors. The Page Content shows up just fine but there is
no WebPart Zone underneath it.? Any Ideas why it is missing?
Thanks

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.

I really want more options for page layouts.

I am enjoying iphoto11, but sometimes wish for more page layout options. Is it possible to flip an entire page layout - like the option to flip a photo? I am currently working with a Photo Essay theme and in most of the layouts the text box is on the same side of the page. When I preview the book I see that I have many parallel layouts which looks a little stiff. Any ideas?

1 - there is no option to add layouts or modify existing layouts - suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
2 - I understand that Aperture offers this capability
3 - you can do pages in any program you want and do a print to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto option and then use that image as a full page photo in a book - see Old Toad's tutorial #19 for more info

OOTB Left Navigation error in Page Layout SharePoint 2013

I created a SharePoint 2013 master page through Design Manager in Sharepoint 2013 and created a page layout like we do trough sharepoint designer as in sharepoint 2010 steps are below
SharePoint Designer--->Page Layouts---->New Page Layout
now i want to insert left navigation in the page layout ,i tried to insert the following snippet in the page layout
<div data-name="QuickLaunch">



<div id="sideNavBox" class="ms-dialogHidden ms-forceWrap ms-noList">





































<hr />





</div>

</div>
but i get the following error when i create page through this page layout
"Content Place holders are only allowed in master page"
Can anyone tell me how do i insert left navigation in page layout which is created through sharepoint designer (.aspx file) but master page is created through design manager

Hi ,
As the error says, you need to add Content Place holders to Mater Page not the Page Layout.
For inserting left navigation, you can add Vertical Navigation SharePoint component to the master page using Snippets manager:
1.
Open the site then click design manager link from right top corner "Settings".
2.
Click “Edit Master Pages” link.
3.Click your custom mater page. It will open preview page.
4.
Once open the preview page then click Snippets menu from top right side. It will open “Snippet Gallery” in new tab page.
5.
Click the Vertical Navigation menu item in “DESIGN “tab.
6.
In this page we can easy to configure component properties.
After customization must click the update button then only the changes are reflected in the component snippet.
7.
Once click the update button the HTML code automatically generated in the “HTML snippet” box and click “Copy to Clipboard” button.
8.
Open the mapped network drive then open the Mater Page HTML file and paste HTML snippet where you want the navigation to show.

Can I mix Pages page layout and word processing together in one document?

Hello there ! I am quite new to Pages and I am desperate to learn as i want to get rid of everything being Microsoft
As you all know when you open Pages you can choose between page layout and word processing !
the thing is i thought that after using a page layout you could just go with word processing easily... well no, you can't, but i'm sure i'm missing something...
For exemple i really like the catalogue brochure and it would be perfect for me to start a project... but after a few pages, i can just add blank pages and if i want to type text, i have to add text boxes... i don't want that, I want word processing... and another thing in this brochure i can't add table of content because it is not by default in the template...
So my question is quite basic here, can we link Page layout and word processing without having to use text boxes and everything ?
Thanks in advance !
Have a good day

Alexander,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
The simple answer is no. What differentiates page layout from word processing mode is that the PL mode has no text layer. So everything that goes on the page must be an object of some kind. And any pages you add to a PL document must also be PL. You can't mix the two modes. One way around it is to start with a blank page, insert a text box, then stretch the box so that it covers the entire page. You can the type in it as if it were a text layer in a WP file. You can even capture that page so that you can add it automatically when you need it, or save it as a template.
As for building a Table of Contents, it appears that Pages only sees text styles that are on the text layer, which means it won't see styles that are in objects -- which means it won't work with a PL document. From being a long-time reader of this discussion group, I've noticed it's rare that someone wants to add a ToC to a PL document.
If you find that you're going to be mixing text and graphics, start with a word processing template. If you really like the Catalog Brochure, you could always copy some or all of its elements over to a blank WP template.
Hope this helps.

Can you help me with Page Layout and/or Design ideas for a software manual?

Greetings,
I am a new InDesign user, and am converting a software manual that I created in MS Word into InDesign. It will be converted to a pdf to view online. I have the basics (3 master pages, page numbers, running headers, 2column pages with text boxes on the left and screenshots on the right), but I want to make it look prettier. Could you please give me some ideas on page layout and/or design to make it look better or more creative?
A few things that I am considering: borders around screenshots, a watermark, a logo next to the page numbers, different size/type of fonts, etc.
I am open to any suggestions to make this look better. However, please understand that I am new to InDesign. With that being said, please tell me a few steps when you mention your tips. Thank you!

Take a look at a few websites on Cannons of Page Construction.
I think the best idea for you is to look at a few software manuals and take tips from how they accomplished the layouts.
I'm not saying to copy them - but rather see what works and doesn't work, what worked for them might not necessarily work for you - research some layouts.
Fonts/type/sizes etc. are pretty much ambigious without context - is this a software manual for kids (soft cuddly big fonts easy to read), technical (small, tight spacing etc), Adult friendly (smooth, crisp clear, well spaced), elderly (large elegant fonts).
It all really depends on your demographic audience.
Being new to InDesign I suggest you take up Sandy Cohens Quickstart Visual Guide.
I think you should look at Michael Murphys Book on Styles
And you should definitely get your printer (the guys bulk printing) the booklet for you on board from the start to work out optimal sizes to suit their printing presses and workflow etc. And to ensure that you are setup correctly in page sizes, margins, safe type areas, colour profiles and a few other things that your printers prepress can help you with.

SharePoint Bug? Conflict Error when saving a Page with a "Required" DateTime field in the page layout

Hello,
I've just recently encountered a weird error / bug in SharePoint. Here is the scenario:
- I have a custom column "Test Date" that is of DateTime field type. The field is configured as REQUIRED.
- It is added to a custom Content Type "Test CT" that is based on a "Publishing Page" content type
- I have created a Page Layout "Test PL" which is based on that particular content type.
Now here is what happens:
1. I try to create a page based on both that Content Type and Page Layout in the Pages Library. I manage to create it successfully.
2. However, when I go to try and edit the page, fill-in the required values and try to save it using the PAGE TAB -> SAVE BUTTON, I get the below error/s. Note that this happens no matter what I choose in the drop-down menu for Save Button.
"The file XXX has been modified by USER on DATE"
But I know I am the ONLY user modifying the page.
If I try to save again it gives me options to whether Discard my Changes, Keep Editing, Overwrite Changes, or Merge.
3. HOWEVER, if I use the Save button on the UPPER RIGHT corner of the screen (the shortcut). I am able to save successfully without any errors!
The only thing I've tried that made it work was if I made the DateTime OPTIONAL. But I need it to be REQUIRED.
Is there any workaround to this error / bug?
Thanks

I have some additional info but nothing really good.
If you click the Save in the left side of the Ribbon then it looks like that is when you get the message. If you click the Save in the top right corner you won't get the message. They must be calling different saving functions.
There really is no way around it other than making the field optional which probably removes some server side validation checks causing that message.
We've chosen to remove that field from the page as I needed it required, then they can't publish the page until they go to the properties and set the article date. By removing the field from the page layout the message goes away.
I hope MS will fix this at some point.

ArchWiki: suggestion for a new page layout

Finally, I have some time to spare for ArchWiki improvement.
I have modified my article on CMYK support in The GIMP as an example.
Please take a look at it here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CMY … n_The_GIMP
The code to produce the box on the right is here:
{{sn|'''Article summary:'''
This article will show how to enable rudimentary CMYK support in The GIMP using the Separate plug-in, and explain how to use color proof filter to soft-proof your images.
It will also cover more general topics on CMYK colors and DTP.
'''Required software:'''

*[http://www.blackfiveservices.co.uk/separate.shtml Separate plugin source]
'''Related article:'''
*[[Using lprof to profile monitors]]
This is the best we can do with current ArchWiki setup. It would be even better if we could list categories in the box, as well as i18n links.

I've been tinkering with the templates. It's fixed now, I think.
Anyway, the templates used for the job can be seen from the code:
{{Article summary start}}
{{Article summary text|This article will show how to enable rudimentary CMYK support in The GIMP using the Separate plug-in, and explain how to use color proof filter to soft-proof your images. It will also cover more general topics on CMYK colors and DTP.}}

{{Article summary heading|Related articles}}
{{Article summary wiki|Using lprof to profile monitors}}
{{Article summary end}}
As you can see, it's a bit more typing than before, but it sure looks better. I might shorten the names for the templates. I wanted to make them memorable so they are a bit long.
As you can see, the problem of i18n links integration was fixed, so you can use existing i18n template and combine with the new "Article summary" set.
I will modify the article about writing summaries to include those templates and examples.
EDIT: :oops: the i18n links in the article are just examples. Don't use them, since they lead to non-existing pages.
EDIT2: Okay, I've played around with the appearance of the summary box, but I'm at work now, so it's going nowhere. I'll play with it some more when I get home.

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.

How to display current navigation on "Body only" page layout

I create a new page and applied "Body only" page layout which is basically PageFromDocLayout.aspx
But it doesn't show current navigation. How do I show current navigation on left side of the page? I have the code which will display current navigation but I don't know where to paste it inside page layout because there doesn't seem to be any space for that.
Or is it something that I can enable disable from somewhere?

There is no QuickLaunch snippet. There is one by the name of "Vertical Navigation" which I think is QuickLaunch snippet so I copied its code in PlaceHolderMain section inside page layout but getting error:
ContentPlaceHolder can only be used in .master files.
EDIT
Ok I managed to do it by adding Vertical Navigation inside a separate <td> in my master page and then I only display it when page is not home page. So the is something like:
HTML CODE IN MASTER PAGE
<td id = "leftmenu" style="display:none">Vertical Navigation code here</td>
<td>ContentPlaceHolderMain here</td>
JAVASCRIPT CODE
if(page is not home page then)
document.getElementById("leftmenu").style.display = "block";
