Setting a master page at the global level

Hi,
We are purchasing a commercial branding solution to our company SharePoint Portals. My question is: how can we enforce so that any time a Farm Administrator creates a site collection, the site collection gets the default master page derived from our commerical
branding solution. Any subsites that users create should also get the same master page. How can we lock the capability so that end users do not have an option to change the look and feel by themselves and stick to what has been given to them in terms of master
page. We don't even want them to use composed looks.
Thanks,

Hi,
First make sure that the branding solution is provided as Farm solution and not as Sandbox solution, this way you can deploy the branding solution globally to all the site collections.
To have all your new sites inheriting the branding you can do the following:
1 - In the root site of your site collection (if its not a publishing site) activate the publishing features.
2 - Then go to Site Settings -> Master Page under Look and Feel and reset all sub-sites to inherit the master page from the parent site.
Each time you create a new Publishing site it will inherit the the branding from the parent site, if you create a new Collaboration site (like a Team Site) you need to activate the publishing feature at site level and it will also inherit the branding.

How to set custom master page for sharepoint application page ?

Hello,
I need to apply custom master page for the custom application page I created for login purpose.
Can anyone please let me know how to apply master page for custom application page ?

thanks,
Dipti Chhatrapati

Hi Dipti,
You can use the same reference as ASP.NET
Example
"<%@ Page Language="C#" masterpagefile="../_catalogs/masterpage/minimal.master" title="teste" inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPartPage, Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" meta:webpartpageexpansion="full"
meta:progid="SharePoint.WebPartPage.Document" %>"
You can use SharePoint Designer 2010
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=16573 to make the reference from you aspx page to you custom masterpage.
When you are editing a aspx page you can go to ribbon "Style" and attach the custom Masterpage.

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,

Hi,
You could open the sites.aspx in Notepad or SharePoint designer, and set the master page to your own master page directly via editing:
<%@ Page language="C#" MasterPageFile="~masterurl/custom.master" Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.FollowedContentWebPartPage,Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal,Version=15.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"

Two Master Pages at The Same Time / Or Something Similar

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out the most efficient way to implement "tabs" on sides of 180-page document.
In an ideal world, I'd have one master page have the blue bar with tabs (refer to the pic). This master page would be applied to the entire document.
Then I'd create a bunch of "secondary" master pages with the colored tabs (in the pic, that would be the orange tab under word "Incontinence").
The colored tabs would be enabled one at a time, for different sections (say, incontinence would be turned on on pages 20-40, then Wound Care for pages 40-80, etc).
Is there a way to do that? To have some kind of "secondary" master page. Or better yet, conditional show/hide switch for colored tabs, based on page numbers?
Thanks.

It's possible to have a self-maintaining tab set.
ON MASTER PAGE:
* Create a text frame that overlies the tab bar (use separate layers for easier manipulation.) Create a paragraph style "ColorBlock" that you'll "tune" later.
* Create a paragraph style, "RunHeadSource" for running-header source text.
* Create a running header text variable "TabSpacer" and insert it in the text frame over the background tab bar.
* Create a rectangle the size and shape of the highlight color block; color it as desired, apply transparency, save as an object style, then insert it as an anchored/inline object in the ColorBlock paragraph. The block overlies the first tab.
ON BODY PAGES
* Create text that uses the RunHeadSource paragraph style; it can be in main text or in margin, etc. If you want it in its own text frame, you can create the text frame on the master page, for convenience, then override it to the body page that starts a new header source.
* The width of text in the RunHeadSource paragraph displaces the inline text TabSpacer, so for each location that needs a different tab, create header text of appropriate length.
* To hide the TabSpacer source text, you can use non-breaking spaces, or text color None.
RESULT:
In the first section, no text in the RunHeadSource paragraph style, so the inline colored object starts at the start of the tab bar. In subsequent sections, each variable source text displaces the colored object to the next tab.
It's a little fussy work to create, but it repays the investment because it's self-maintaining.

Why Is The Menu On The Master Page BELOW The Objects In Other Pages?

I added a menu on the master page using the Composition widget called featured news and it stays behind the other objects on normal pages.
How do I fix this? Here are the pictures of the menu when it's closed and when it's open.

Make a new layer, which is by default placed above all other layers.
Go to your master page and drag the menu onto this layer.

I created mega menu in adobe muse ( master page ) but the thing is when I preview that menu in other pages contents I already had created will overlap the menu. Is there any options that would fix that problem up. I'd like to have the menu overlap the contents. That does not happen on master page ( master page looks good ) Thank you very much.

Place the menu on its own layer above the rest of the page content.

We'll need some more information, and probably a few screen shots, like the master page and one of your pages where the image is not showing.

How do I place a fixed image and show it between two pages like the Global on Page 3 (LOE)?

Trouble in finding enough master pages for the creation of books, and to keep the master pages I create

I am frustrating the the small number of master pages available to create books in Aperture; it is much smaller than in iPhoto. Is it possible to access more master pages?
I created new master pages, but I can use them only for the book into which I created them. How can I keep them for all my projects? Many thanks in advance.

My Firefox remembers history from over a year ago, and unless you are using a setting or external tool to clear it, or load huge numbers of pages/download huge numbers of files, Firefox should pretty easily remember links you've accessed in recent months.
To see what Firefox has computed as the number of URLs to remember, you can check here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''.hist''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Look for '''places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages'''
Mine's set to 104858. I don't know how that was determined.

GUIxT at the global level

Hello,
I am using the GUIxT scripting for modification to standard transaction.
I have added the following to my script:
del [distance]
del [SPFLI-DISTID]
The script is saved on C drive of my desktop. All is working fine.
My requirement:
1. To make this scrip global. We have many users and copying the script to desktops of each user is not a logical solution.
I tried to save the script on the application server but its not allowing me.
2. Is it possible to hide teh "Activate GUIxT" check? This is to stop users from playing.
3. How to make the script run at the organizational level. It should run for all the users.
Any help would be appretiated.
Pranu

Hi Pranu,
I solved the issues in our system as follows:
1. We use a central file in for example c:\ program\ sap\ frontend\ sapgui\ guixt.ini. This INI file contains a parameter called Directory1:
Directory1      k:\guixt\scripts           // Script Directory 1
The drive k: is on central Windows server.
2. This is possible with Sapgui 4.6D (Patch 103) via a registry entry in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/SAP/SAPGUI Front/SAP Frontend Server/Administration
Add a string variable with the name "DisappearItems" and value "Activate GuiXT". If this variable exists already with some other menu entries, you can add the new entry "Activate GuiXT" at the end separated by ';', e.g. "Generate graphic;Activate GuiXT".
The user will then no longer be able to activate or to deactivate GuiXT. If GuiXT should always be active, you have to set the variable "GuiXT" in   HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/SAP/SAPGUI Front/SAP Frontend Server/Customize to 1.
3. Unfortunately, I do not understand this question correctly.

ScriptMan

Button to go from the Master page to the "New" Detail page

Hi,
I have an application with some Master/Detail pages, on one of the Master/Details the client wants a button on the Master page to go directly to create a new Detail, instead of enter on the Detail page and then press the New button.
Is it possible? Can I make this kind of button?
Thanks
Tony

Tony,
Add the button with drag and drop post-generation and test it, then move the button code to a custom template, and uncheck group-level check box "Clear Page Definition Before Generation".

Using the Motorola Atrix w/ the laptop dock, when I open a web page with Firefox I have to hit "Ctl +" three times to make the page fill the screen. Is there any way to set up so pages open the right size?

What is the significance of having a compound master data in the planning levels?

In "SAP2" model there is PERPRODCUST as a planning level.
This planning level has PERIOD, PRODUCT, CUSTOMER and PRODUCT-CUSTOMER master data as part of the planning level.
Wouldn't PERIOD, PRODUCT, CUSTOMER be sufficient? Why is the compound master data required to be added to this planning level.
Could someone clarify this for me.
Thank you.

I'll attempt:
It depends on if you want to surface the result/value of the compound master data type on the key figures in your planning level. If you do then you'll need to include it in the planning level.
If the question is why would I want a compound master data type, then my attempt at that answer is as follows:
From my understanding, the idea of a compound key figure is that you are able to derive an attribute or attributes that are related to, in this case, two master data types - all without having to 'store' that attribute on the transactional record.
Here is a simplistic example:
Master data on PRODUCT (where PRODID is the key)
PRODID,PRODDESCR,PRODSIZE
P1,Widget A,Big
P2,Widget B,Big
P3,Widget C,Small
P4,Widget D,Small
Master data on CUSTOMER (where CUSTID is the key)
CUSTID,CUSTDESCR,CUSTREGION
C1,Store A,West
C2,Store B,West
C3,Store C,East
C4,Store D,East
Master data on compound MDT PRODUCT-CUSTOMER (where PRODID and CUSTID are the key)
PRODID,CUSTID,SALESREGION
P1,C1,BIG_WEST
P1,C2,BIG_WEST
P1,C3,BIG_EAST
P1,C4,BIG_EAST
P2,C1,BIG_WEST
P2,C2,BIG_WEST
P2,C3,BIG_EAST
P2,C4,BIG_EAST
P3,C1,SMALL_WEST
P3,C2,SMALL_WEST
P3,C3,SMALL_EAST
P3,C4,SMALL_EAST
P4,C1,SMALL_WEST
P4,C2,SMALL_WEST
P4,C3,SMALL_EAST
P4,C4,SMALL_EAST
Finally you have some transactional data for the Key Figure on the planning level (ex: Sales)
PRODID,CUSTID,SALES
P1,C1,10
P3,C4,15
P4,C3,30
P1,C3,20
P2,C2,15
*Note that you don't need to 'store' the sales region attribute on the record
Then on your report, you can pick the SALESREGION and get your aggregated values:
SALESREGION,SALES
BIG_WEST,25
BIG_EAST,20
SMALL_WEST,0
SMALL_EAST,45
