Page layout skewed after comment added to blog post

I am having an issue where my page layout is all out of whack after a reader posts a comment. The body text of the blog post drops down the page to cover over the top comment. Also noticed that the weblink that the reader has entered doesn't work - It's supposed to load their site when clicking on their name, but no link is active. Also having problem where the body text is OK, but the comment is cut off - the page doesn't automatically extend to allow the comment to fit at the bottom.
Very frustrating for me and my readers.
BTW, using iWeb09 and Mobile Me account. Annoying to pay this money and not have results.

Seems I can answer this one myself.
The problem occurs when the code from Google Analytics is not on the furthest back layer. Right click on html box containing the code and select 'Move to back'. Problem solved

Comments added to blog change page's appearance

Hi,
I'm sorry if this is a repeat posting, but I couldn't find anything about it after a perfunctory search.
When people add comments to my blog, it upsets the vertical layout of the page (i.e. white space doesn't stretch as far as it should). Looking at the pages in iWeb, there doesn't seem to be a problem.
This page for example:
http://web.mac.com/mccormickdavid/iWeb/TrombonesInTechno/Blog/2E725615-0820-47EB -A9A7-9256043FABA9.html
the space behind 'bosh blog podcast photos' should be white up to the black bar (and appears so in iWeb). Same applies at the bottom of the page.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance,
David
p.s. apologies for the mundane nature of the site.

I have seen this problem with the shifting background before. Your ultimate option is to eliminate the page background and let the browser background show through.
Another workaround might be to make a screenshot of a square of white space (your background), then use that square as your page background image...choose tiled in the dropdown menu of the inspector.

Page layout skewing

Hi all, I have designed a Conference Website using Golive CS - http://www.corporatecommunique.com.au/playgroup/home.html and have had a comment from our client that aspects of the page are skewing/stretching off the page whe viewed on their PC.
It looks right using all of the computers in our office (on both IE8 and Firefox) and everyone else who has viewed the page hasn't had a problem.
Can anyone let me know how to solve this.
Thanks, Sam.

You've designed the whole thing to fit within the background image - but if the text size is increased, it just won't fit. I think it's likely people will increase the font size - it's pretty small at either 9pt or -2 - so you may need to rethink. What would you like to happen if people increase the font size? How will you cater for that?
I suggest you're going to need a white background, the elements like the child image need to be separate so that the text area can be flexible. You're probably going to have to abandon the grid, which attempts to keep everything within rigid boundaries.

I have to 'refresh' pages to enter a comment on a blog

If I've opened a page, mostly blogs, more than a few minutes ago and try to comment, nothing happens. If I refresh the page, then hit the 'submit' button right away, my comment goes through. Any thoughts?

Hello ict_jazz
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.

Social comment control in custom page layout stucks at "Working" for read access users

Hi,
I created a custom page layout which is attched to my custom content type.
i have a custom field control which is derived from RichImageField.
i have also added a social comment control to the page layout using
<SharePointPortalControls:SocialCommentControl ID="SocialCommentControl1" runat="server" />.
Now the problem is, an user who have read access for a pages library should post comments. but its not working and when the user clicks post button it stucks at working. but when the user is given contribute access then it works and the comments are posted.
And one more thing is if i remove my custom field control from the page layout, then user with read access can post the comment without any issues.
i am sure the issue is caused by my custom field control but dont know how to solve it. i dont want to give contribute access to the users as they can edit the content of the page also. Any help would be appreciated.
This is the custom field control code.

Use of AppendOnlyHistory Control in a Page Layout

Hi,
I got a multiline text field in SharePoint 2010 with Append Changes to Existing Text applied. Now I'm trying to use this field in a Page Layout. I have added the field to the Content Type and on the Page Layout I've added a AppendOnlyHistory Control.
<SharePointWebControls:AppendOnlyHistory FieldName="MyNotesAppendableField" runat="server" />
This works fine in display mode and I can see all my comments and who made them and when. But as soon as I edit the page the field is not displayed. Also if I save my page there will be a new comment added with the same text as the last comment.
A field with Append Changes to Existing works such that you need to have versioning enabled on the list and then when you show the appended comments you actually only show the versions. I guess that's why the same text gets appended every time I save
the page. It takes the current value stored in my field and then append it again.
However if I go to Edit Properties on the page instead of editing the page, I get the field included in the form and I can add my own comment.
AppendOnlyHistory has a Property called ControlMode that I should be able to set to Display, Edit. But it doesn't matter what I set this to or if I set it. The same result will happen anyway.
Maybe I'm supposed to use a standard FormField or NoteField Control instead of AppendOnlyText, but I havn't managed to get that to work either. If I use a FormField, when in edit mode I will see the field and be able to add a comment the right way,
but the field will be pre populated with my last comment added.
Anyone got any conclusions on this?

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.
Image - edit the web page based on 4 columns page layout:
Image - after edit & save:
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.

Firefox shifts page layout with larger images

This is a Firefox specific issue. In IE, it displays as
expected.
I have two pages. One has dynamic links and the other has an
image. Each
shares the exact same page layout, well, after messing with
it for a
day, this is no longer actually true but even if they did, it
would do
the same thing. When you click on the dynamic link to go to
the other
page, the page layout shifts to the left.
I have tested without the image and the page looks fine but
as soon as
it displays an image the page shifts. IE does not have this
problem.
I've tried putting the image in a table. I've tried CSS to
control it.
It's just strange and I am wondering if there is a work
around for this?

Working with master pages and page layout, what I have been doing wrong

I have worked on customizing the page layout and the master pages for a couple of site collections.
But now I read two restrictions which I was not following 100%:-
I should avoid directly modifying any default templates, and instead of that I should take a copy and modify the copy. So that any future updates will not override my modifications.
Also I should avoid directly modifying the .aspx files, and instead of that I should edit the html file which will automatically reflect on the .aspx files.
So currently I have these cases inside my SharePoint sites:-
Inside my enterprise wiki site collection, I have being modifying the Enterprisewiki.aspx page layout, for example I added new columns such as Page title and I remove the page rating, also the chnaged the color and format for the page fields.
Inside my team site I took a copy of the seatle.master master page (I name it seatle_copy.master)and I apply my modification to the seatle_copy.master directly and not inside the .html file. Even I do not have a html version for the modified seatle_copy.master?
So can anyone advice how I can fix these two issues. For the first issue how I can make sure that my modifications to the EnterPriseWiki.aspx page layout will not get override during any future update.
also how I can generate an html version for my current seatle_copy.master file so that I can modify the seatle_copy.html instead of the seatle_copy.master in the future?
Please can anyone advice?

Hi johnjohn123,
1. I would definitely make a copy of the EnterpriseWiki.aspx page layout and make changes to that. You can then set your pages to use your custom page layout. Typically, I provision these via Visual Studio and a module for uploading them to the SharePoint
master page gallery.
2. For the master page, the html version is new to 2013 and is meant to simplify branding, however, it's not required. You can still work within master pages and provision those via features if you'd like. The key is to create your own master page and never
modify the default.
If you need code samples for any of the above, let me know and I can supply it.

Blog post comments not working

Hi there,
I have a couple of sites, both set up with a blog:
http://cyberworkshop.co.nz/blog/video-blog
http://www.sjorakei.school.nz/blog/lorem_ipsum_dolor_3
For some reason when you add a comment to either blog post this message appears:
ERROR: An error occurred. Image verification failed. If you believe this is incorrect, please contact your system administrator or go back and re-submit the form.
I definitely had comments working on the School site at one point and I cant figure out how to correct this.
Any pointers on how to fix this would be most appreciated.
Thanks, Ben

Hi Ben,
For the first site, it looks like captcha is commented out on the Blog Post Detail layout: http://screencasteu.worldsecuresystems.com/Florin/2013-10-20_1259.png
On the second site, you also had a problem in the javascript on the blog post detail layout.
I've corrected the Javascript now, and you get an error message pop-up when trying to submit a comment without filling in the captcha.
Thanks,
Florin

How to fix BC blog post meta title and description

BC blog post <title> and <description> shows (seo) from sidebar/post list - But does not show in blog post page thru site menu nav.
The blog post title and description show up corectelly when clicking on sidebar list of posts.
It must be using the module layout list.html which I have set up with:
<html>
    <head>
    <title>{tag_blogpostmetatitle}</title>
        <meta name="description" content="{tag_blogpostmetadescription}">
    </head>
    <body>
On the sidebar/post list
Title and Description show correctly here:
https://cameocoinsonline.worldsecuresystems.com/cameo-coins-blog/how-to-buy-and-sell-gold- and-silver-bullion
The problem is:
when clicking on menu nav to “blog” it does not show correct title and description.
From the blog page thru menu nav
Title and Description do not show correctly here:
It shows the name of the blog (cameo coins blog) instead of the name to the post.

Hey there,
Firstly, putting blog posts meta title in the list layout is really bad - You do not do this. This is not how meta works and you need to understand a bit more about what it is.
If you have a list of blog posts on a page all with lots of title and meta BC will do one of two things.
1. Use the very last title and meta it sees rendered on all the layouts/templates/page it sees
2. Render the last title and spit out multiple meta's
Meta implementation is for the detail layout of something like a blog only - The single rendered content - 1 title, 1 meta description. For your blog this will ONLY go in the blog detail layout.
And in that layout at the bottom of it..
    <head>
    <title>{tag_blogpostmetatitle}</title>
        <meta name="description" content="{tag_blogpostmetadescription}">
    </head>
You need to understand that, remove it from others to fix up that issue with what your doing first. Very likely because you probably have this in other list layotus and all over the place your seeing inconstant output, address this and you probably will actually find your issue fixed.

SharePoint 2013 (On-premises) - Add @mentions to blog post

Hi all,
I'm having a headache. I need to allow users to add @mentions on comments for a blog post (just like on Newsfeed). I don't find if there is a way to do this out-of-box.
Please, can anyone provide me an alternative? I'm trying to use some jQuery plug-ins but I think it would be great if I don't have to build a custom solution to do
that if SharePoint can do it natively.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Brian

Wrapping text around an image in a blog post

Hi,
I want my client to have the choice to wrap text around an image they have inserted into a blog post. How is this possible? I have tried to create a class that would would appear in the 'apply a class' section of the editor but it doesnt work, the class doesnt even appear in the editor.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Dean

Hi Liam.
Thanks for the reply. Yes I have added it in the partner portal and it just says clear class.
I have only added a small bit of css so I dont think that is the problem. I just the below applied to the image so the text will float round it.
.wraptext {
float:left;
I think the problem is that it is in the wrong css file. I have tried it on few different css files and it does the appear in the editor for some of the webpages. No matter what css file I put it in, it still doesnt appear as an option when adding a blog post.
The blog post is referencing a few stylesheets, how can I identify which one the code should be in?

Page formatting is out of whack after comments, new blogs, etc

I just started my website with iWeb and i'm already having problems. I first noticed this when I added a 7th blog entry and the white background on the blog listing page was not big enough for all the information there, so it shifted to a midpoint...it's difficult to explain... (pics should be helpful, keep reading)
I figured out a way to fix it, change the page layout dimensions, publish, change the layout back, and publish again - and it works! I was happy I found that, until i saw that every time someone would comment a blog or a picture, the page would become screwed up like that and i'd have to go through every page with a comment and fix it.
here are pictures of the problem (the white background should be covering the page top to bottom.

Or you can check out the site yourself. add a comment to a picture and watch the formatting screw itself over. www.calinchrist.com
