"Set as default master page" link is disabled

I have an enterprise wiki site collection , but when I try to change the default page layout for my site collection,by opening the site collection using SharePoint designer>>then going to page layout section. The problem is that the “Set as default
master page” link will always be disabled.. although I am login using the site collection administrator
Can anyone advice on this please?
Thanks

Enterprise WIKI's are essentially Publishing sites. You set the default page layout for new pages in a publishing site using the Page Layout and Template Settings link on the Site Settings page. On the Page Layout and Template Settings page
you can choose the default page layout to use when creating new pages. The default page layout is not the same thing as the default masterpage.

"Oslo.Master" set as the The default Master Page, but when record selected in "List View Web Part" page shifts to the right.

Hi All,
I have set "Oslo.Master" as the The default Master Page for the site. I have a page with a List View web part and an InfoPath Web Part connected. When the page loads is it displayed correctly. However, when a record
is selected and the infopath web part is updated, the content on the page shifts (indents) to the right.
Is there something I am missing? Does anyone know how to correct this?
Thanks in Advance!

Hi Dwayne,
I could reproduce this, as a workaround, we can use javascript code as below to hide the element in the following image.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#contentBox').prev().hide();
</script>
Thanks

How do I set the default welcome page for PUBLIC user

gurus,
i'm using -
Oracle 9i Database
Oracle 9ias Portal Release 2
QUESTION => how do I set the default welcome page for the PUBLIC user.
i did the following to achieve this -
1. logged into portal
2. clicked on builder
3. clicked on administer tab
4. selected PUBLIC user in the Portal User Profile portlet
5. went to the preferences tab
6. in the default home page selected a custom page group
7. logged out of portal
8. open a new browsere session
9. type the portal URL and i get the login page ....??
i'm unable to understand this behavior ... shouldn't i be getting the page group that i set for the PUBLIC user in step 6 above ....
the second QUESTION is => when the user logs out he/she should see the PUBLIC page set in step 6 above ... but, instead the user sees a page that is as follows -
Partner Application Name Logout Status [Logout Status]
Oracle Portal (portal) logout status
The SSO Server (orasso) checkmark
buzz.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
infrastructure.happy.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal1.buzz.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal2.sylvester.resva.trw.com checkmark
sylvester.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
so, how can i set the default page for the PUBLIC user and also a page when he user logs out.
ideas anyone ....?
thanx a bunch.
hero

Hi,
The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
Hope it clarifies the things.
Regards,

Can I set up a master page to show custom alternating footer text dependant on page number?

Hi,
Is it possible to set up a master page to show different messages in the footer of a brochure dependant on page number? For example;
Page 1: Buy from us because...
Page 2: Our website address is...
Page 3: Here's a special offer...
Page 4: Our website address is...
Page 5: Buy from us because...
Page 6: Our website address is...
...and so on, repeating until the end of the brochure. The intention is for the footers to update automatically if the pagination of the brochure in question needs moving around - or if the messages need changing.
Thanks!

Thanks, but the text needs to be on a single master page which every page is assigned to. This is so the text alternates correctly regardless of whether new pages are inserted or moved. If I assigned separate master pages to individual pages and then moved the pages to a different location, the alternating footer text would then fall out of sync. I hope that made sense!

How can I set the default home page for all new users in Firefox 4

I'm trying to deploy FF 4.0rc1 in a corporate environment but I can't find a way to set the default home page or any other settings for that matter.
Is there a way to set the default home page for all new users and lock it so that the users can't change home page?
Best regards
Jonas

In Firefox 4 the template folder for new profiles (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\
) doesn't exist. You can create that \defaults\profile\ folder and place a file user.js in it with the prefs that you want to initialize.
See:
*http://www-archive.mozilla.org/catalog/end-user/customizing/briefprefs.html
You can also use a mozilla.cfg file to set the default value for prefs.<br />
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Can I set a default home page when people use my router?

Hello EireReality. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Can I set a default home page when people use my router?
No, at least not that I'm aware of. Setting a "default home page" is typical feature of a web browser, not an Internet router.

Setting the custom master page through powershell is NOT working

Hi,
I am writing the below code to set the custom master page through powershell.
But its not working .when i went to site settings-->master page --> in the drodown , the maste page set is seattle.master ONLY, though my current master page is available in the dropdown.
Can anyone pls help, whether i am missing in the below :
      Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell
       $SiteURL = "http://srvr1:22307/sites/SPW5"
    $weburl= $SiteURL
    $Site= Get-SPSite $SiteURL
    $web = $Site.OpenWeb()
$web.CustomMasterUrl = "/_catalogs/masterpage/myMasterpage.master"
$web.MasterUrl = "/_catalogs/masterpage/myMasterpage.master"
$web.Update()
Das

Hi,
Is it a publishing page? If yes can you try the PowerShell scripts corresponding to the following code snippet?
var publishingWeb = PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb(web);
publishingWeb.CustomMasterUrl.SetInherit(inheritFromParent, false);
publishingWeb.CustomMasterUrl.SetValue(masterPageUrl, false);
publishingWeb.MasterUrl.SetInherit(inheritFromParent, false);
publishingWeb.MasterUrl.SetValue(masterPageUrl, false);
I've noticed sometime (not sure though) that Master page doesn't get updated if the inherit property is not updated first.
Thanks,

How to attach a default master page to a aspx site page ?

It do well
Then I try to attach a master page.

the default master page "oslo"
But when I open the site in the internet browser, the site comes with an error.
Below here is the code before and after attaching the master page

Hi,
According to your post, an error occurred when you added the master page to a aspx site page.
Please do as follows:
1. Use "~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/custom.master" instead of "~masterurl/custom.master" .
2. Remove the form tag.
Code:

How do you set a default home page for tabs

Default home page setting is easy enough but when clicking the "+" to open a tab I want to set the page that it defauts to. You would think that it would do the default home page but it doesn't and I cant find where to set it.

Troubleshooting tips on the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference:
''If Firefox won't let you edit this setting:'' you may have something called SearchProtect on your system. This needs to be removed from the Windows Control Panel.
''If Firefox lets you save your change but ignores it:'' one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then cast a critical eye over the list on the right and disable (or remove) anything unknown.
''If the change works during your session, but at the next startup is back to the unwanted page:'' you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]. Also beware of features in utility programs like Advanced SystemCare that roll back settings changes between sessions.
If bad add-ons do not have a Remove button or keep coming back, here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning them up. I know this seems long, but it's not that bad.
(1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
* in the Windows "Run" dialog, type or paste <br><code>firefox.exe "about:addons"</code>
In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
(3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
Success?

Default home page links do not work

Before i updated to 34.0.5, I had images on a new tab page and on the default home page, i could click on the quick links. Nothing on the default home page works! I have no images on a new tab page! What happened?

You can check the <b>browser.newtab.url</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and set that pref to your preferred new tab page.
* the default home page is <b>about:home</b>
* the default new tab page with the tiles is <b>about:newtab</b>
* for a blank page you can use <b>about:blank</b>
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):

How to set a default home page in Safari

Is there a way to set up a default home page in Safari so that when I launch it, it will always go to that page first?

Navigate to the page you want to be your home page. Press the + and then Add to Home Screen. Now simply use that new icon to launch Safari instead of the Safari icon.

Allow User to set their Default Home Page

How can I allow the end user to set their defualt home page? There is a User Profile Portlet but end users are not able to see it when they log in. Also, I want them to be able to just set their own defualt home page.
Thanks.

As a privileged user:
[same functionality as above]
Oracle Portal Home Page > Administer Tab > Portal User Profile > Edit Portal User Profile > Preferences Tab > Default Home Page
On this page you can also set the Default Group for the user. As groups have a Default Home Page property too, the Default Home Page can be managed on a group membership basis, if needed.
Hope this helps.

Peter

How can I set the default home page in Firefox 4 for all users that login to a PC on a Win 7 PC?

I work at a community college in upstate NY.
We use Firefox as the default browser at our institution and we have always set the default homepage to be our homepage for all users that login to the PC. We had a procedure to to that that worked with Windows XP and FF 3 or earlier
We would do the following:
1. go to: c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla\FireFox\Profiles\<profile_name>\prefs.js
2. Add the line: user_pref (“browser.startup.homepage”,”http://www.genesee.edu”);
3. Copy the Folder
C:\Documents & Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla
To
C:\Documents & Settings\Default User\Application Data\Mozilla
4. Restart the computer
We're going to Win 7 and Firefox 4 and things seem to be different in terms of files and file structure. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

Making customisation from the default profile is generally considered poor practice and quite often doesn't work out as planned. (If you're interested in some more information on this, [http://mockbox.net/windows-7/227-customise-windows-7-default-profile.html see here] see here)
This article should help you with developing and deploying your customised Firefox 4 installation (without touching the Windows 7 default user profile):
