Variation root must be a Publishing site in Office 365

I'm trying to create site variations of all site collections in SharePoint 2013 online (Office 365) to accommodate different languages, and I'm getting stuck very early on. After going to Home -> Site Settings -> Variation Settings and trying
to create a variation of the top-level website (i.e. '\'), I get the error
Variation root must be a Publishing site.
Is there something really simple that I'm missing here? Any ideas?
Currently We are creating site Collection with Custom Template and after activating SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure Feature got variation setting and other variation options
Variations
Settings
Variation
labels
Variation
logs
While creating Variation labels its giving error Variation root must be a Publishing site.
Please provide some proper input on this error.
Thanks in Advanced!!!
Thanks!

Hi Vivek,
Beside the SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure Feature
at the sitecollection you need to activate the SharePoint Server Publishing site feature. Then are prerequisities are met!

A customer using SharePoint site in Office 365 and they configured workflow, notification alerts, etc and now by default they are receiving mail in the registered account (for example: [email protected]) and now i want to change it to their
company email id.
Is that possible?

Hi All,
I developed an app(test.app) in office 365 SharePoint Online. When I deployed it in another office 365 SharePoint site I got the error "The

This site shows how to create new client ID, but I need to deploy test.app more than 100 Site... So how to deploy this app without creating Client ID?

Using the default SharePoint web site in Office 365 with PWA

Hi, we are testing Project Online for the first time.<o:p></o:p>
Per default the Project Web App is installed under
xyz.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa.<o:p></o:p>
Is it possible, to use it with the standard SharePoint
team site?<o:p></o:p>
When I activate Project Online for our default web
site, a new Instance of the PWA is set up.<o:p></o:p>
We’d like to use the default PWA instance since it is a menu item in the Office 365 main menu.<o:p></o:p>
In a getting started video from Microsoft is a sample
shown, where a task from a team site list can be enhanced to a Project Online
project. In this case the link from the team web site called the project view
from the ../sites/pwa instance.<o:p></o:p>
But I don’t have the function/icon in our team
website.<o:p></o:p>
Thanks in advance,<o:p></o:p>
Marcus<o:p></o:p>

Hello, if I understand your query correctly the root PWA site has to be PWA site collection, it can't be a default SharePoint team site. The individual project site (below PWA) can start from just a SharePoint team site though or any SharePoint site with
a tasks list. This can then be added to PWA and converted to a full enterprise project if required or left as SharePoint task list project that can be seen in PWA in visibility mode. Paul

Search site on office 365 ?

search site on office 365

If you open a document/link from search does it always take that 1 minute? If you were to repeat the exact same process after the first load does the site take a lot less time to load the second time around?
If so then it's probably due to the sites falling to sleep due to inactivity and dropping out of memory.

How to customize PersonImmersive.aspx page in My-Site of Office 365?

Hello All,
I want to customize the SharePoint 2013
online(office 365) "About me" linked page
(personimmersive.aspx) to a custom look and feel.
Should I achieve It , in Office 365?
And If yes , please let me know how should I do?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi darsh,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to customize PersonImmersive.aspx page in MySite of Office 365.
You can customize the page via SharePoint 2013 Designer. To find this page, you need to make sure you connect to
[your_domain]-my.sharepoint.com instead of [your_domain].sharepoint.com. Then you can find the page in
All Files.

Office 365 publishing site

Hi All,
I have a publishing site in Office 365, and we have created pages, and added content editor web parts in those pages.
Now the requirement is we need to create one more publishing site, and have all those pages with web parts moved to the new Site collection. As we have more than 50 pages, configuring the same will be time consuming. Please assist.
Thanks
Senthu

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to create site with all those pages with web parts.
Per my knowledge, when you create a publish site, it will have a “Pages” library.
Though you save the “Pages” library as template in the previous site, you cannot create a new “Pages” library in the new site.
As a workaround, you can create library with another name.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

I am an artist who built my site on iWeb 08. Although I have easily been able to transfer to Godaddy, my ability to publish is limited. I must upload my entire site and it is time consuming. How do I convert to iWeb 09 and is this easy to do?

Help! I am an artist who had my site professionally designed on iWeb 08. Although I have been able to transfer to Godaddy, my ability to publish is limited. I must upload my entire site and it is time consuming. I was advised to update to IWeb 09 (which I could get, I think? from Amazon) because it has a built- in option to publish to any FTP. How do I convert my 08 folder to an 09 folder? Will it convert correctly? I know eventually I will need to rebuilt the site, but I would like to use this option for awhile to buy time. Is this feasible? I currently own a Mac Pro.

Its just a question of installing the later version of iWeb from the iLife disk and opening your website in that version. Its a good idea to have a backup of your Domain.sites2 file before doing this. See this page for its location...

Sharepoint 2013: Problem / Error when creating Variation Hierarchy for French and German Languages from Variation root EN

Hi,
I have a website with English and Arabic Language Packs installed. I have the corresponding Variation heirachies created and the whole site collection is published.
Recently the client asked for french and german languages to be accomodated as well. So I followed the same approach I did for English and arabic (installed the language packs) for foundation, ran ocnfiguration wizard, installed server language pack &
ran configuration wizard.
But after creating the variation label, when i try to create the variation heirarchy, I am getting the following error.
"Unknown failure when creating a variation of page http://server:port/en/pages/default.aspx in label /fr/Pages/default.aspx.
The Variations Create Hierarchies job failed with the following error message& Unknown failure when creating a variation of site
http://server:port/en in label fr."
Am not sure what is going wrong. Appreciate a feedback.
Thanks,

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when you created the Variation Hierarchy for French and German Languages from Variation root EN.
I recommend to check the Resources folder located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15 to see if the file core.fr-FR.resx exists in the folder.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look:

Publishing site will not create catalog item URLs

I have an authoring site with a list that I have enabled as a catalog. When I move over to my publishing site (sites/Publishing) I am able to connect to that catalog. I have Managed Navigation and my term store set up and the links are generate across the
top (Ex: planes, trains, automobiles).
When I click on one of those links, say automobiles, the page displays correctly (sites/Publishing/automobiles). But, when I try to click on a catalog item I am just taken back to sites/Publishing. It appears that no friendly URL was created as I specified
when I made the connection.
What could I possibly be doing wrong? Hopefully I described this well enough

Is the site a public anonymous site or just for internal use?
Be sure to add a Root term to the product hierarchy (or whatever you may have changed the termset name to)
when setting your columns for use in a catalog, It’s worth noting the default unchecked of “Allow multiple values” is important. Multiple value columns are unsupported for the column used in integration.
Also, for the terms to function properly in nav, Add your publishing site URL to the site collection access line for the term group so it can present the terms as friendly URLs and navigation on the consuming Site Collection.
Alternately, if you want it available globally, you can create a new group under the global MMS, then move the term set to the global group
Connecting to your catalog requires Publishing features at SPSite & SPWeb level
Crawl must run against the catalog content after it was enabled as a catalog in order for it to show in Manage Catalog Connections
Don’t forget to allow access to the Product Hierarchy Term Set.

Placeholder not visible in custom page layout - publishing site

Hi,
I have a custom page layout in publishing site.
I had added a new textbox to the existing page layout as below:
<tr id="trCustomContent2">
<td id="tdCustomContent" style="padding-top:5px;">
<div id="divCustomContent" style="padding-left:6px !important;vertical-align:top; width:450px;" >
<h3>
<PageFieldTextField:TextField ID="TextField1" FieldName="fec9f0d3-77a3-4afc-99d3-99d2cb745d2c" runat="server" >
</PageFieldTextField:TextField></h3>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
I deployed the changes, but in the edit mode of the page, i am not able to see the page layout.
This issue is happening when a subsite is created. For the existing sites, the textbox is getting shown.
How to fix this?
Thanks

Hi Venkatzeus,
For each page layout, it has associated with a content type.
You can click into the content type in site content types under Web Designer Galleries in root site settings.
And then click Add from new site column to create and add the new site column to this content type.
After that you can add this column to the page layout(.aspx page for the page layout) with the code below(you need to change the fieldname value to the corresponding GUID of the column):
<div>
<Publishing:EditModePanel runat="server" CssClass="edit-mode-panel">
<PageFieldTextField:TextField ID="TextField1" FieldName="6bf50814-27d1-4b36-9980-c702c25080d7" runat="server">
</PageFieldTextField:TextField>
</Publishing:EditModePanel>
</div>

IWeb published site different than designed

I scrolled through numerous pages and was surprised I did not see this problem already described.
I design a simple (though long) page using iWeb. Text and images only. The images are embedded, but non are overlapping. It looks great as I am working on it in the iWeb window. I publish it to a folder on my laptop then view either by using "visit published site" or going to the directory and firing up the index.html. There are lots of problems - images have been moved, fonts are wrong (there looks to be a "format persistence" problem -- a type or size will continue for a few extra words. I edit, making sure the fonts are the ones I want and re-publish with the same poor results. Not very WYSIWYG at all! I'd try to edit the html code, taking the iWeb written stuff as a pretty good start, but it is not very pretty html.
So, at this point iWeb is a completely useless program! As many others are using it without this problem, there must be some solution. Anyone had this issue and found a way to fix it?
thanks

What is the web address of the published site so we can see what you are referring to?
While waiting for that:
A common reason why formatting on a published page will not match what you see in iWeb is that objects (pictures, movies, text boxes, etc.) are overlapping. When the web browser goes to try and interpret that overlap the results can vary (this can effect the display of fonts as well).
Go to the page in question in iWeb and click on 1 object. Go to Edit > Select All.
You will see all the objects on the page with their boundaries activated. Move any items that are overlapping so they have their own space around them.

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.
