Ribbon disabled on Publishing Pages in SharePoint 2013

When using a blank web part page in a Pages Library (Publishing Feature actived), the ribbon is disabled for a document web part on the page.
After adding the document web part and saving the page, I click in the document web part to activate the ribbon. Clicking on the Files tab in the ribbon display the document library ribbon but it is disabled. Clicking on the library tab also displays a disabled
ribbon.
We have been able to reproduce this in multiple instances of SharePoint 2013 Enterprise including on a client site.
This works in SP2010!
In a site pages library this also works in SP2013...
Is this a bug in SharePoint 2013 or is this working as designed in SharePoint 2013
Thanks in advance!

I tried to replicate the issue by creating the page with blank web part page, but i can see the Ribbon is available.

Popularity Trends is disabled on Blog site page in SharePoint 2013?

Hi, I have created 2 sub sites under a site collection: for one used Team Site template and for another one used Blog template.
In blog sub site home page Popularity Trends is disabled while Team sub site home page Popularity Trends is enabled.
Is page Popularity Trends disabled on Blog template in SharePoint 2013?

I cannot say this for sure but I created a Blog site on my SP2013 instance and I can confirm the popularity trend is disabled. So this might be the case for Blog site template.
As a workaround what I did was
1) Activated the publishing feature on the blog site
2) Under Pages library created a new welcome page using Blank Web Part Page
3) Now add all the web parts (apps) on this page i.e. Posts with Summary view, Blog tools, category, archive etc. Just so you know About this Blog is Content Editor Web Part.
4) Save the page and this page should now have the the popularity trends.
I do not know if there is any way to enable the popularity trends link for out of the box box site but if there is none then you can use the above workaround.

Not able to Enable the Custom Ribbon button On Pages in Sharepoint 2013

Hi Team,
Not able to Enable the Custom Ribbon button On Pages in SharePoint 2013. we have used the button edit properties section of the Pages.
Same is working for Lists but not for Pages.
Thanks,
Shrikant

Thanks for your reply.
Right now my server is not working to get the code. will share you in some time.
I am just thinking if page get checked out and my control is also present in the Edit properties section then do I need to specify something explicitly to enable the button. The same is working for Lists.

How do I add multiple audio webparts to a page in SharePoint 2013?

I need to add multiple media player webparts with audio files to a page in SharePoint 2013 so users can click the play button, listen to the file, then vote for the audio they like best. The problem is I can only get one audio to play at a time, and only
in certain browsers. I can get them to work intermittently in a Chrome browser, but not IE 10. When I publish the page and click the play arrow, it played the first time. Then I added two more audio player webparts to the page, and linked them to different
audio files (m4a and mpg). Now only one audio player will work, not the other 2.

Why are the web pages of SharePoint 2013 so devoid of colour and distinct boundaries and leave screen space unutilized

Hi All,
This was a comment from my business users who have worked with various versions of SharePoint. I understand SP 2013 has put in logic to make the web pages to be compatible with a wider set of browsers and screen form factors. Nevertheless, the issues raised
by my business users are valid.
Comparing a basic web part page of SP 2013 with SP 2007 and 2010, their feedback was:
SP 2013 pages do not have clear boundaries
SP 2013 pages are generally devoid of colour. This is makes it harder to visually distinguish links from ordinary text.
SP 2013 pages appear to leave large swathes of screen space underutilized.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Hi,
1. When insert a web part in SharePoint 2013, you can edit the web part and change the appearance and layout of the web part.
You can add the boundaries for the web part. (Edit page->select a web part ->edit the web part->in the appearance section->in Chrome Type, select title and border->after that you can see the boundaries).
2. The color of the links depends on the theme you have selected in SharePoint 2013. Different themes set the different colors of the links. You also can customize the theme or composed look in SharePoint 2013.
The article below is about how to create a SharePoint composed look.
https://bniaulin.wordpress.com/2012/12/16/step-by-step-create-a-sharepoint-2013-composed-look/
3. In SharePoint 2013, the space between different zones is set by default.
The picture below is my page in SharePoint 2013.
If there is much space between zones, to check:
1. If input much space in web part in the SharePoint 2013.
2. If input space in the web pert zone in SharePoint 2013.
3. If the width has been changed in the below code in the page which you change the text layout.
<table id="layoutsTable" style="width: 100%">
    <tbody>
        <tr style="vertical-align: top">
<td style="width: 100%">
<div style="width: 100%">
<div>
</div>
</div>
</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
The article below is about when you edit the page and choose one style of the text layout, some code will be added in page automatically.

If you want to Remove/Hide empty space between web parts, you can add css code in the content edit web part.

Hello All,
I am new to using the 2013 SharePoint and want to customize the site pages that was set up by someone else. The problem is when i click on the site pages I only see the option to upload and new. So the pages that have been uploaded in the past i clicked
on them and when they come up it just shows the title of the site page with edit links button on the top.
So basically you are not able to do anything. Does anyone know if this is a permissions issue and if it is how do i give myself admin rights

Creating a Publishing Page with SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise & SharePoint Designer 2013

How can I create a Publishing Page using my existing Master Page. The purpose of this is that I want to use page layouts within that page. I cannot understand how to do that. I even tried from the SharePoint Designer 2013. Could someone help me to solve
this matter.
Thank You,
Regards,
Chiranthaka.

Are you having trouble creating a custom page layout, getting it to appear when creating a Publishing Page, or getting it to use your custom Master Page?
- If you are having trouble creating a page layout take a look at the following article:
http://sharepoint-works.blogspot.com/2013/08/create-custom-page-layouts-in.html#.U0KQYPnxpaE
- If you aren't seeing your page layout when creating a custom page check the settings under Page Layout and Site Templates in the Look and Feel
section of the Site Settings page.
- The master page used by all Publishing Pages is the Site Master Page. You can change which Master page is used in the Master Page link in the Look and Feel section of the Site Settings page.

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.

Changing Default & System Master Pages In SharePoint 2013

I want to change the system master page & default master page of a SharePoint 2013 site collection. In Site Settings in the Look & Feel section Master Page is not at there. But there is Design Manager. In the design manager where can I change the
above mentioned Master Pages.

Hello,
If publishing is activated you can use the page /_layouts/15/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx
You can also use the Design Manager. Choose a theme and then you'll be asked for fonts, colors and...master page.
Hope this helps.

Data refresh in background for an Excel workbook published on a SharePoint 2013 site

Hi,
I've created a site to publish some Excel workbooks on a SharePoint 2013 farm with Excel Services.
I'd like to run in background the data refresh against the cube connected to Excel, so when the end user will open the workbook he already will see the updated data without any waiting times.
How can I solve this issue, please?
Keep attention: I don't talk about PowerPivot for SharePoint.
Thanks

did you try to use the
unattended service account for authentication to external data, in order to refresh the excel data?

How to disable Add New Item in SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I want to disable the Add New Item button after the user created one item in SharePoint 2013.
Is it possible to disable?
Please reply
Thank you

I'd do it creating a custom web part that would mimic the list web part, and have logic in there that makes sure to hide the button once an entry by the current user has been made in the list. You could also create a workflow that would remove the user's
permission to add a new item on the list upon creating an item.
