Page Layout Design migration to subsites

I created a master page for my main site with a specific page layout design. I want to propagate the same design layout to my subsites. How can I implement this?

Set your custom master page as default master page & check the checkbox for Reset all subsidies to inherit this Site Master Page setting.

Where can I learn page layout design?

I'm looking for a book, or a website course that will teach me the principles and theory of good layout design. Can anybody recommend any good resources for me?

I can't recommend a book, but it will help a lot to study actual layouts: magazine ads and story or article pages, newsletters you receive, etc. Notice what looks good to you and what looks "not good." See how headlines are used in newspapers, magazine articles and the like. In other words, open your eyes to design where ever you go and whatever you see. Become aware of design in nature, on billboards ... design is all around you. You're immersed in it whether you know it or not. Some of it is good and some of it is bad. Ask yourself "why?"
Someone, I'm sure, will recommend a book, but never stop looking!
Good wishes,
Walt

Adobe Livecycle Designer ES 2 - how to repeat page layout in the form?

How would you repeat page layout design randomly in a form, means how the same page layout can be repeated on non-consecutive pages of an LC Form? For e.g. I want to repeat Page1 layout on Page 5 and Page 6 of an LC Form. How to do that. Please reply.

You use Master Pages to set layout that you want to use on multiple pages.
Design what you want in a Master Page and then assign it to the pages you want in Object>Pagination>Place: and choose On Page> whatever you called your Master Page.

Designer 2013 - Design Manager: Page layout created is not showing up in Designer

Hello everyone,
I greatly need assistance. I have wasted over 1/2 a day trying to fix this issue.
I have a site with a subsite. I'm customizing the subsite using the Design Manager. I've been through all of the steps and now I've created a Page Layout (step 6). I created the html and it generated the aspx. I have a drive mapped to the master page
gallery. The files are showing up in the mapped drive. However, when I go into Designer 2013 and click Master Pages, the files aren't there. This happened to me last week and then suddenly, almost magically if you will, the files were there. This was after
refreshing several times, closing Designer and opening it up. All the little tricks you have to use with Designer every now and then. So today I was repeating the process and the files aren't showing up again. I've been refreshing for 4 hours, closed Designer,
even rebooted. To no avail. I disconnected the mapped drive and reconnected. Nothing.
I have the correct permissions. I'm not only the site collection administrator but I'm also the SP Admin.
Assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lisa

you have a subsite in a site collection •the publishing feature is activated in the subsite, but not in the site collection •you want to edit/add page layouts on the site collection level, to be used within your subsite •when you open the
site collection in SharePoint Designer, you can't see Page Layouts in the Site Objects panel You now have 2 options: you can either activate the publishing feature in the site collection (and the Page Layouts link comes back), or you can use the All Files
link and browse to the master pages and page layouts library (_catalogs > masterpage.) Either option will do, unless you really don't want the publishing feature in the site collection

Subsite not picking page layout and masterpage

I have migrated from sharepoint 2007 to 2010 , everything looks fine , but when i am creating publishing subsite master shows broken css and it has wierd look,
how can i have same look and feel like parent in sub site including mater page and page layout?
Thanks,

1)
<site url>/_layouts/changesitemasterpage.aspx
this should give you a page where you can tell all subsites to inherit current master page, css, etc...
2)how many web parts are on the page?
the ribbon is "context sensitive" meaning if there is more than 1 web part on the page, you have to highlight the web part you want to edit in order for the ribbon to show up.

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.

Custom page layouts are not getting displayed in ribbon

Hi,
I have created a custom page layout under welcome category. This is getting displayed in pages library while creating a page and also in page layout option from site settings which is fine. But when a page is in edit mode if we click page->page layouts
from ribbon, all the default page layouts are getting displayed except my custom page layout.
Please advise.

Placeholder not visible in custom page layout - publishing site

Hi,
I have a custom page layout in publishing site.
I had added a new textbox to the existing page layout as below:
<tr id="trCustomContent2">
<td id="tdCustomContent" style="padding-top:5px;">
<div id="divCustomContent" style="padding-left:6px !important;vertical-align:top; width:450px;" >
<h3>
<PageFieldTextField:TextField ID="TextField1" FieldName="fec9f0d3-77a3-4afc-99d3-99d2cb745d2c" runat="server" >
</PageFieldTextField:TextField></h3>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
I deployed the changes, but in the edit mode of the page, i am not able to see the page layout.
This issue is happening when a subsite is created. For the existing sites, the textbox is getting shown.
How to fix this?
Thanks

Hi Venkatzeus,
For each page layout, it has associated with a content type.
You can click into the content type in site content types under Web Designer Galleries in root site settings.
And then click Add from new site column to create and add the new site column to this content type.
After that you can add this column to the page layout(.aspx page for the page layout) with the code below(you need to change the fieldname value to the corresponding GUID of the column):
<div>
<Publishing:EditModePanel runat="server" CssClass="edit-mode-panel">
<PageFieldTextField:TextField ID="TextField1" FieldName="6bf50814-27d1-4b36-9980-c702c25080d7" runat="server">
</PageFieldTextField:TextField>
</Publishing:EditModePanel>
</div>
Best regards.

2013 Custom Web Parts in Page Layouts not showing for users

Custom Web Parts in Page Layouts not showing for users
I have created a master page in the root site collection for a subsite I am developing. I created content types and custom page layouts for the pages within the subsite.
I used the snippet tool in the design manager to create web parts and page field markup which I copied into the custom layout HTML pages in the root site collection. For instance I have an image viewer web part that I place there to serve as a section title.
The problem is that I can see all these customer layout page parts no problem but my users cannot. This leads me to believe its permissions, I am site owner of both the subsite and root site collection.
The users that cannot see the web parts are site members of the site and restricted read users on the root site collection (where the layouts are stored).
What gives I'm finding it hard to understand why a snipet generated web part wouldn't show in all pages created from that layout page.
Any help would be appreciated, Havent found anything on this issue online. weird.

It is a permission issue indeed. Fix is simple, make sure you check out the page layout page, then check it back in as published version.

Unable to see page-content control filed in subsite level for responsive sharepoint site !!

Hello.
Actually, I am facing unexpected issue with responsive design package for SharePoint 2013 environment. I
am done with lots of try here and there but no luck yet so finally putting my issue here to get the help on this.
I have applied responsive design package from this codeplex solution - http://responsivesharepoint.codeplex.com/
Which is working as expected , however when I add the following snippet in "Banded" Page layout , I am unable to see the Page Content field on pages at subsite
level, however I can see the same field on root site pages of site collection.



<div id="ctl02_label" style="display:none">Page Content</div><div id="ctl02__ControlWrapper_RichHtmlField" style="display:inline" aria-labelledby="ctl02_label"><div align="left"><div nowrap="nowrap"><span nowrap="nowrap">Page Content</span></div><div><div>Page Content field value.

can you please direct me to resolve this issue ? ( I wonder
if anyone has face the same )
Even , I don’t see the page content field in sub site pages for default "Blank Web part Page layout".
I have also noticed that in responsive design webpart page layout is having only
"Page Image" field in first row as shown in following screen:
While in default publishign design , I can see many page content fields as shown
in following screen:
Is this by responsive design ? or Is there any problem in page layout - I am not sure !! :(
Looking really forward for the resolution on this issue.
Thanks and Best regards,
Dipti Chhatrapati

Hello,
Just sharing the root cause of this issue which may help to others facing same.
The reason behind this behavior was actually silly :) which is always the case once we know it !
somehow , page content types was not having "Page-Content" filed rather it was using publishing columns but not page layout columns and hence I was unable to see the page layout columns in my page.
Thanks and Regards,

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.

Which one is the Right Approach - Re Using Page Layouts or adding Web parts directly to pages instead of page layouts in SP 2013 online site ?

Hi Team,
I am SharePoint 2013 developer. Before asking question I would like to explain the requirement in clarity.
We are developing one O365 SharePoint online site which is having 10 different page layouts with different and some common webparts and we are reusing these page layouts by deploying a sandboxed solution which is having page layouts. These page layouts contain
filter and query to display data using some condition and predefined values. By using these layouts we have to create 100+ pages. All pages will show data according to that page name and category (if it belongs any). We have not written any code to develop
the site, everything is OOB feature.
We have used below feature/list/lib of SP Online 2013:
- Document Library
- Survey
- Calendar
- Lists
- Discussion forum library
- OOB Search feature
Now, I would like to know whether this is the right approach to reuse the page layouts. Or can we add webparts directly where the logic resides in the webparts and add them to the pages instead of page layouts?
Also how to deploy page layouts/pages from one server to another? Currently we are deploying everything as a feature using sandbox solution.
Could you please let me know the right approach to follow. I am asking this question because we are facing below issues:
- Sometime page layouts gets corrupted, showing nothing.
- All written filters/logic disappear when we open layouts in Designer
- Deployment is pain using Sandbox solution
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks in Advance,
Shifa Mittal

Interesting question, to which i do not know a definitive answer.
Output Caching is used to increase performance and to reduce load on the box. However since you're in the MS Cloud you don't need to worry about the latter and MS do the worrying about the former. I wouldn't be surprised if MS have updated the behaviour
for O365 and not updated the documentation. That first office.com article is using 2010 screenshots which doesn't fill me with confidence about it's continuing relevance. Don't forget that SharePoint 2013 and O365 are technically different versions and have
very different behaviour in places.
Generally i'd say not to worry, but in this case if you do find any more information i'd love to see it.
