Publishing site discrepancies for 'site assets'

I have noticed discrepancies for publishing sites when creating sub sites. The issue I have noticed is that randomly some of the sub sites have a 'site assets' library and others don't. The sites work correctly, as I don't require the site assets library
in the sub sites anyway.
They all have the 'SharePoint Server Publishing' feature activated. So I don't see what the difference is between the sub sites. This has happened on multiple site collections now so seems to be a common bug with SharePoint.
Although it is not causing me a problem in at present it is still a question I'd like an answer to in case we do need to use the site assets library for each of the sub sites in the future.

For the next test I activated the Wiki Page Home Page feature. It creates two new libraries: 'site pages', which contains two pages (Home and How to use this library); and 'site assets', which is empty.
I had a look at my existing publishing websites and it appears they all have 'sites pages' and 'site assets' in the root site. Both libraries are empty. In the sub sites some have an empty 'site assets', some don't have a 'site assets'. None have a 'site
pages' library. So I don't think this relates to the Wiki Page Home Page feature. I think it is some other anomaly, as I have never activated the Wiki Page Home Page feature in any site before.

Re Creation of Site Assets Library after Publishing site Title update

For some reason we don't need Site Assets library in publishing site so we have decided to delete that. But after Publishing site Title update Site Assets Library is getting re created . What would be the possible reason for that . Whether Publishing

Ashish Baranwal || To know what you know and what you do not know, that is true knowledge

Hi Ashish,
SharePoint Designer has the setting "Hide from Browser' to hide the List/Library from browser.
It only restrict the user to view the List/Library links from browser,but if user directly use the URL to reach that List/Library and the user can edit or add new items.
Better set the ready only permission to users and set the "Hide from Browser" to the Site Assets library through SharePoint Designer.
Follow the steps to hide the Site Assets Library through Designer:
In Site Object Section, Select Lists and Libraries
Select Site Assets Library on right side, it's navigate to List Settings
In List settings-> General Settings, Uncheck option “Display this list on quick launch”. [This is necessary], Check the “Hide from browser”.
Save the list.
Now the links are hidden from SharePoint Site in browser.
Follow the steps to Unhide the Site Assets Library through Designer:
Open SharePoint designer 2010.
Click the “All Files” folder at the bottom in left pane.
Right click your hidden list from “All Files -> Lists” folder and choose property.
Now you have your hidden list open in SharePoint Designer.
In List settings-> General Settings: Uncheck the “Hide from browser” and save.
Now the links are visible in SharePoint Site.

How to rate and give review for the product in SharePoint Contoso demo site by the customer/user from publishing site?

Hi,
I am new to SharePoint, and am working on Contoso demo site.
I want to know where to give star rating and review for the product in SharePoint Contoso demo site. Even after spending enough hours i didn't find solution for this problem. All the answers i got was changing the List/Library settings -> Rating settings,
if i follow that, i get the rating column displayed in my catalog site. How can i bring it on my publishing site and let the customers give rating or review for the product from publishing site. Is there any OOTB feature in sharepoint or it shoul be customized.
Thanks in advance.
Akshaya

Are you using the Content Search Web Part? Just tweaking that once the source library has had the rating column applied should work. Have you tried this?

Calendar view on page for Published site.

I have a subsite, and I create a calendar for meetings, on a new page I added a web part to show the calendar (calendar view). when I logged on the site, each event has their one link to details, (disform.aspx?id= something) but as soon I publish the
page, and go and use the browser as anonymous (not logged), I can see the calendar but I don't have links to see the details of the event.
I know this work because on the same site I have another subsite with another calendar and it is working just fine, i tried and I know I did it in another site, I just don't have links in this one.
the collapse or add links show up and work fine, it is just the link to the events detail. Someone can help me?

I did a test in my environment with anonymous access in the publish site and the event is in the calendar.
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest you do as followings:
1. Check the anonymous access in the site settings-> site permission->Anonymous Access->Entire Web Access.
2. Check if you have deactived the feature “limited-access user permission lock down mode” feature in site collection feature.
3. If the issue still exists, I suggest you recreate a calendar to test whether it works.

Creating Master page for publishing site

Hi,
I am trying to create a master page for publishing site. I have downloaded the "StarterBranding - V1.3" from codeplex, and used the "Starter Publishing". Currently it is not showing logo, search box, top navigation, breadcrumbs.
I have an existing master page which has lot of tags, and I am not sure what they represent. The below code is after the script manager tag in the body section:

Are the above tags required in Master page? what is the use of it? I have more tags and will add after knowing the use of it in future threads.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know about the each tags useful in master page.
In SharePoint 2013 master page, there are some common tags like body tag, head tag and meta tag and some style CSS div tags. For the useful of these tags, I suggest you can refer the articles below:
Understanding HTML master pages in SharePoint 2013
In your custom master page, it will have some custom css tags depend on the display style but it is no required for master pages, if you want to know about what tags is required in master page, you can compare the custom master page with the OOTB master
page.

Team Site default site assets library does not have support for video, images, etc..

Greetings,
Our users have noticed that when they create a new subsite that the default site assets library does not give them the option to create a new document type of video, image, etc.. just a word document.
If I create a new asset library I do see all the options when creating a new file from the drop down menu under the ribbon >files>new document
Is this default behavior when creating a new team site or is there something that I can configure so that the default site assets library that is built is really a site assets library and not a standard document library?

i think you are talking about the "Site Assets" Library and this is not meant for the Asset Library.Yes this is default behavior.
Site Assets: Use this library to store files which are included on pages within this site, such
as images on Wiki pages. jsut think about the other OOTB libraries i.e Style, Pages libraries etc.
Assets Library is the one you need to add in your site collection to take the advantage of it.

Calendar for a publishing site

I have a publishing site and would like to incorporate a calendar but when you go to create one, you have no option creating a calendar. Any idea how I could get this to happen?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This is because by default the “Office SharePoint Server Standard Site Collection features” and “Office SharePoint Server Standard Site features” are not enabled in publishing sites, which prevents a lot of the typical SharePoint functionality from being available in publishing sites.
Please try to enable those features in your publishing site, you will see the calendar list in created page and allows you to use them in sites where you are also using MOSS's content management functionality.
Hope it helps.

Why is my published site not operational when using Firefox or IE?

The original problem I experienced had to do with the fact that my published site's navigation bar was totally missing on each page and replaced with a "period" as described by the following thread... http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9899999&#9899999
The weird thing is that this problem only exists when using IE or Firefox on a PC (at work). Site is 100% operational using Safari on a Mac (at home).
Thinking my iWeb files were corrupt, I uninstalled and reinstalled iWeb '08. After doing so, I republished my site. The good news: the nav bar is now present on each page and operational. The bad news: my photo pages and blog page have zero content other than the header banner and nav bar. Again, this problem only exists when accessing the published site using IE or Firefox on a PC. The site is fully operational and all photos/blog entries present when accessing the site using Safari on my Mac.
What gives? Did a recent iWeb update (intended for iWeb 09 users or intel-based macs) corrupt my iWeb '08 on my PowerBook G4?

Please note that Java and Javascript are not related. iWeb uses a lot
of Javascript, not Java. There may be some issues with the Javascript
generated by iWeb -- I don't know. If it seems to work for someone
and not for someone else then it is an issue at the browser end, not
the website end. Each browser may not be handling the Javascript in
exactly the same way. (You gotta love standards.)

How do i add to a published site?

i am defeated...
how do i access an iWeb site i have published to add another page? i launched iWeb and the "visit a published site" is grayed out. i can only find my site by clicking on the link in an e-mail i sent announcing it, and then i am only viewing it as anybody else would. i would like to know if i can build upon or edit a published site. and where is the link to .mac on the new apple site?
thanks

thank you for the quick response. i erased and my drive and re-installed almost everything in the hopes of rectifying an ongoing and annoying problem and i don't have the AppSupport>iweb pathway available to me. how do i find a link to log onto .mac when i re-publish this my iWeb site to .mac?

Media Tab Missing in Publishing Site

Hello
I have a Publishing site created with the Publishing template. I edit the default.aspx page of the site and click 'Add a Web Part', I then select Media and Content and pick the Media Web Part. I then edit the web part, but I don't see the 'Media Tab' in
the ribbon.
I tried creating a new page but it still didn't show.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is not working?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Yoshi

Hi Yoshi,
I tried reproducing the issue in my SharePoint Server 2013 by creating a site collection of Publishing Portal. Then I created a new page, and inserted a media web part. When I click on the web part, WER PART tab and MEDIA tab were both shown in the ribbon.
Then I tried any possible reason, I deactivated publishing feature in site feature, then the media tab still existed. After I deactivated the publishing feature in site collection feature. The media tab disappeared and all ribbons in WEB PART tab greyed
out.
I’d recommend you check the if publishing feature is activated in site collection feature and site feature. Could you edit this media web part properties? Did the issue occur in other site collection with publishing feature activated? Did the issue occur
with admin permission?

Setting Custom Master page in search results page - Publishing site

Hi,
I have a publishing site, in which i have a custom Master page.
However when doing the search in the site, the search results does not show the custom Master page.
Is it possible to set the custom created Master page for the search results page? How to achieve this?
Thanks

Hi Venkat,
The search page for a publishing site is a file available in the layouts folder (I believe it is the osssearchresults.aspx if you see the address bar). It is used by all web applications and site collections in your farm. So ideally you should not change
it. I mean you can change it to point to your master page but it is bad practice ..
I would instead do the following
1. Create a custom search results web part page and place it in the site collection itself (one of the document libraries)
2. Custom search results is not difficult because all search results pages are made of a set of Out of the box search results web parts. If you add the same webparts to your page as the default search results page, you have effectively created a copy of
it
3. go to site settings --> search settings and change the search results page to your newly created page
4. The newly created page by virtue of its location will automatically use the master page the rest of the site uses.
I could not spend the time to try the above for you but I am sure the above will work.
Thanks and Regards,
Partha

Publish site changes edits every folder in "entries" directory

I utilize Lytebox slideshows in my blog entries and have an issue with MobileMe erasing the necessary Lytebox files from every blog Entries directory (Web/Sites/Site Name/Site Name/Entires/Year/Month).
I always update my website via Files>Publish Site Changes. I publish to MobileMe so that I can make my site private.
I expect MobileMe to overwrite the files in the Entries folder for the specific blog entry I have created/changed, but why are the Lytebox files erased from every single Entries folder? I just did a test by making a minor change to a blog entry, publishing site changes and then using Cyberduck to check the Entries directory. Sure enough, every folder in that directory was modified.
As a result, every time I make any changes to my website, I have to upload the Lytebox files to every Entries folder, currently I have 15 of them.
Any reason MobileMe is doing this? Can I avoid this from happening? If not, I'll post another question about how to quickly and automatically upload the lytebox files to every Entries folder.
Thank you.

Any 3rd party files/folders used for java based slideshows in an iWeb site should be placed in the iDisk/Web/Sites folder and linked to there and NOT in the site's folder itself for the very reason you're experiencing. That is, they get deleted when the site is republished. It's the nature of iWeb.
You should use the following URL to link to a particular file in the Lytebox folder (assuming that folder is named Lytebox): http://web.me.com/MobileMeAccount_Name/Lytebox/Filename.

Can't open a published site. Please Help.

I am currently using iWeb 08 v 2.0.4
Whenever I would open the app, my web site would always be there. Recently however I got the template page, to start a new site. So I went to file>visit published site, but it was grayed out.
All the files and folders as well as the index are there, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to open my site to make changes and re-publish. I have been using iWeb for years and never had this problem. I am stumped.
Any thoughts?

I get a blank project page.
But, the good news is that I saw the file was a 'domain' file, so I did a search for that and saw the other project somewhere else on my drive, clicked on it, and it's all there.
Thanks
Jim

How come my comments are visible in iweb but not on published site?

I published my site (after many frustrating attempts and publish errors) and had allowed comments. I made a blog entry and published to .mac and found out from a friend that that particular entry didn't have an option to add a comment. I tried to republish many times - I don't know how it happened but the comment option showed up eventually. I had the same thing happen again today so I tried publishing again but this time I tried publishing to a folder. Not sure if this caused the problem but now one comment on the blog disappeared and the rest are only visible in iweb and not on the published site - on the published site there isn't an opportunity to add comments where they used to be. Can I get the comments back on my site?
Thank you for any help.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Oh, rats. Do I need to remove the folder that I published to? I'm not even sure where to find it. I have republished successfully with the comments still in iweb but they don't show up on-line. I'd really like to get them back on if possible.
