Wiki Pages VS Site Pages

I am in the process of creating a brown bag presentation for a group of SharePoint 2013 basic users.
How can I explain the difference between Wiki Pages VS Site Pages?
What is the difference?

Hi
Site Pages is a concept where complete or partial page is stored within content database and then actual page is parsed at runtime and delivered to end-users.
Wiki pages are actually site pages only.
The difference is that it is designed to add free-form text & rich content including text, tables, links, images, as well as SharePoint lists and web parts anywhere on the page without any needs for web part zones like in web part pages or field controls
like in publishing pages.

Hi Smile,
For troubleshooting this issue, let's verify the followings:
Whether you can create wiki pages well.
Whether this issue occurs for other sties.
Whether all users have this issue. Please test with Site administrator, compare the result.
As Naveen said, please check the log file to find more information about this issue. The path of the log file is: C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.

Site Pages vs Pages Library

Hi
I've noticed that if a Page is created in the Pages Library it cannot be edited in SPD however if a page is created in Site Pages Library it can.
We have used pages library as it offers page layouts but dont like the fact the page cannot be edited in SPD.
We dont require the publishing feature apart from the page layouts aspect, if this can be achieved in site page then this would be a better alternative.
Currently we have added webparts to pages in pages library using ui.
And advice?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to edit page which is created in the Pages Library in SharePoint Desiger.
When we want to edit the file of the page, we will get the message as below:
It is because that the page we are trying to edit is under the publishing feature. It is a publishing page, and as such, by default, gets it's layout from the layout page and the master page.
The only change we should be doing on such a page is edit it in the browser and add\remove\change web parts in it.
However, there is a way to work around this - detach it from it’s layout page.
We can select the page, on the All Files ribbon, click the Detach from page Layout button and then proceed to edit as normal.

Show breadcrumb bar only on main list pages but not site pages

Is there any way to show the breadcrumb bar only on list pages (for example to navigate in document libraries, surveys, etc.) but no in site pages or wikipages. The only solution I found was adding a webpart to each page I want to
hide the breadcrumb bar but this is no long-term solution. How can I make sure that the breadcrumb bar only shows on ootb list pages but not on my site and wiki pages?

One way of hiding breadcrumb is through css. You can apply the css in custom master page that will hide the breadcrumb and in your default master page leave it as it is.
Using IE developer tool, check the class that is applied on the breadcrumb and apply as style of display none to that class. This way you can hide the breadcrumb. I don't have my dev box up so cannot tell the exact class right now but using IE developer
tool you will be able to find the same.

Can i set site page as New/ Edit form of SharePoint list?

Hello All,
Can i set site page as New/ Edit form of SharePoint list. I know this can be done if i create Application page, but can i set site page as SharePoint list form. If yes, then how?
Also in any case is it possible to set New/Edit form of already created SharePoint list?
Please Help. Thank you.

You can set infopath form on a page
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/sharepoint-server-help/convert-an-infopath-form-to-a-web-page-HA010215035.aspx
Try
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/70287/display-new-form-of-a-list-in-a-web-part-page
So it turns out that SharePoint Designer is the only way to accomplish this. You have to go into the page in Designer, edit the page, and select the Insert tab from the ribbon -> New Item Form -> select "CUSTOM LIST FORM..." (not one of the pre-populated
lists or you will get the barebones default content type!) -> Choose the list for the form you want to show and the content type, click OK -> Save the page in SP Designer and it will now show on the page embedded as a form. Success!

Can't insert pic or table into CEWP on site page.

I have a wiki where I have no problem inserting tables, pics, hyperlinks, and even editing the HTML to do all kinds of fun stuff.
Today I try to insert an image into a CEWP on a site page and every time I paste in the URL and click OK nothing shows up. Same thing happens with table.
The best I have been able to with the CEWP on a regular site page is with HTML...I get a little black box with white x where the pic should be, but I do get the mouse over and I can get it to hyperlink when I click on it.
What is going on here? I can insert pics and tables into a list or announcements section if the column is using a rich text editor, but not on a regular site page. I can only use the image web part which sucks because I cant make it hyperlink.
Is it my version of Internet Explorer? Did I make some change that broke SharePoint 2007? Did someone else make a change to the site that screwed this up? WAS I NEVER ABLE to do this and am just now realizing that CEWP have this limitation?

Hi Bill,
I believe for your case, creating picture library will solve your issue. Please refer the below reference URL which explains about recommended practice to use CEWP.

Why put the insert table or insert image into the CEWP editor if they can't be used? Why not at least do the courtesy of grey them out so I do not spend two days thinking I am crazy or need to rebuild my entire SP sites etc...?
Thank you for your response.

Site pages missing after conversion

Hi: I had a site which had been built in GL1. Today I opened GL2, asked to open the site. The dialogue box appeared saying..."created in earlier version...do you want to convert", and I said yes. I had brought another GL1 site into GL2 this way with no problem. The menus created in MenuMachine
opened without a problem.
With this site however, something went very wrong. I converted and opened the site; however, the menus which were created in Menumachine could not be accessed. Per the instructions from MM, I installed MM2 manually into GL2.
However, when I reopened the converted site, it was far worse. Almost all of the site pages are simply missing. The pages which do appear are missing most (but not all) images, including background images - which makes sense as the image file for the site is missing almost all of the site images.
Any ideas what I did wrong or what could have happened? Or - more importantly - any idea if this problem can be fixed in any way?? This is an enormous worry, as the site is very large. As I said, I brought another GL1 site into GL2 with no problems at all. MM worked without an issue on that occasion.
Please let me know if you have any ideas as to how to proceed.
thx
LR

Oops! I found the solution. Apparently the newer Wiki server does not automatically create links to the created pages so these must be done manually. I think this is a new behavior since I did not have this problem with 10.5. Anyway, I'll have to manually recreate all of the links... Bummer!

Page URL and Page Name in Enterprise Wiki

Hello,
I have a problem with the page URL and page name in our Enterprise Wiki. Parent and subsite locales are Turkish. My problem is, when I add a page in Enterprise Wiki and give it an English URL, the page Header is written in English and when I give a Turkish
URL, the page header is written in Turkish. What I want to have (and I think the right way) is to have the URL in English and the page header in Turkish.
To clarify my question, I will create a page with a Turkish name and URL. I will name it "Türkçe Tanıtım" (which stands for Turkish Demonstration), using Turkish characters. Then the URL becomes:
http://mysite.com/Pages/T%C3%BCrk%C3%A7e%20Tan%C4%B1t%C4%B1m.aspx
And the page header is "Türkçe Tanıtım", which is normal, as expected:
If I change the page URL to look correctly, using English characters only, it looks like "TurkceTanitim." The URL becomes "tidy" (http://mysite.com/Pages/TurkceTanitim.aspx) but the page header also becomes "TurkceTanitim",
which is not correct in Turkish:
What I would like to have, and what I think it should, is to have a URL completely in English (http://mysite.com/Pages/TurkceTanitim.aspx) but have the page header in Turkish (Türkçe Tanıtım). I am sure this could be done in SharePoint, I/we are missing
something but I don't know what.
Can you give me a hand on this?
Thanks in advance,
Tolga

Hi Tolga,
I understand you would like to change Wiki page title but not page name in url.
The title of the Wiki pages is always linked to the actual file name of that certain page. To get the use out of title property we have to manipulate the page template for the Wiki pages.
Please refer to the article below and edit "/_catalogs/masterpage/EnterpriseWiki.aspx" in SharePoint Designer:

The account application created using can see current Blank Site page but no other user account see current page only some old page?

Hello Community
    Using Sharepoint 2010 Server and the UI, building an intranet
starting with a Blank Site and then adding subsites can be accomplished.
    However, in this case the current Blank Site page that was created only shows
when logged in using the account that the application was created under.
    Any other account used to login with when the url is typed into the
address bar does not show the current Blank Site page.
   Instead when using any other account the page that is returned is
some page that was created early in in the creation of the site.
    A Blank site is said to be:
        "A blank site for you to customize based on your requirements."
    I checked-in the v4.master and approved it but the problem still exists.
    Then I checked the Site Collection features under Site Collection
Administration "Active" contains:
    Sharepoint Server Publishing Infrastucture
    Sharepoint Server Standard Site Collection features
    Then I checked under Site Actions has Manage Site features "Active"
contains:
    Sharepoint Server Publishing
    Sharepoint server Standard Site features
    It is said that maybe the page needs to be "Published". Basically
this is a Blank Site page so when the instructions says:
   "To publish a page, on the page that you are editing, on the
Page Editing toolbar, click Publish."
    I am unable to do it because when I:
       "Edit Page"
    There is not no option on the ribbon to choose "Publish".
    Neither did I see the "Publish"option when editing the v4.master in SPD.
    In summary, when logged in with the account that everything was created
under I can see the current Blank Site with the Lists and everthing else
on the page but how come when I login with any other user account
I don't see the current Blank Site page but instead see some old page that
I may have created earlier when creating the application?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

Hello Community
    I think it is worth mentioning that the Top Link Bar shows what appears
on the current Blank Site page but it is the OOTB NoteBoard and Discussion Board
List which both reside in Left web part on the Blank Site page that has been replaced
on the page by what had been in an old Content Editor web part during early creation.
    How can I grant permissions to the OOTB NoteBoard and the Discussion Board List
that would allow other user accounts to see them, thus making the entire current Blank Site page
visible other user accounts?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

Which one is the Right Approach - Re Using Page Layouts or adding Web parts directly to pages instead of page layouts in SP 2013 online site ?

Hi Team,
I am SharePoint 2013 developer. Before asking question I would like to explain the requirement in clarity.
We are developing one O365 SharePoint online site which is having 10 different page layouts with different and some common webparts and we are reusing these page layouts by deploying a sandboxed solution which is having page layouts. These page layouts contain
filter and query to display data using some condition and predefined values. By using these layouts we have to create 100+ pages. All pages will show data according to that page name and category (if it belongs any). We have not written any code to develop
the site, everything is OOB feature.
We have used below feature/list/lib of SP Online 2013:
- Document Library
- Survey
- Calendar
- Lists
- Discussion forum library
- OOB Search feature
Now, I would like to know whether this is the right approach to reuse the page layouts. Or can we add webparts directly where the logic resides in the webparts and add them to the pages instead of page layouts?
Also how to deploy page layouts/pages from one server to another? Currently we are deploying everything as a feature using sandbox solution.
Could you please let me know the right approach to follow. I am asking this question because we are facing below issues:
- Sometime page layouts gets corrupted, showing nothing.
- All written filters/logic disappear when we open layouts in Designer
- Deployment is pain using Sandbox solution
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks in Advance,
Shifa Mittal

Interesting question, to which i do not know a definitive answer.
Output Caching is used to increase performance and to reduce load on the box. However since you're in the MS Cloud you don't need to worry about the latter and MS do the worrying about the former. I wouldn't be surprised if MS have updated the behaviour
for O365 and not updated the documentation. That first office.com article is using 2010 screenshots which doesn't fill me with confidence about it's continuing relevance. Don't forget that SharePoint 2013 and O365 are technically different versions and have
very different behaviour in places.
Generally i'd say not to worry, but in this case if you do find any more information i'd love to see it.

When I click on a link in an email, it does not automatically open the site page? When I receive an email with a link in it, if I click on the link to open the page, nothing happens. It does not open the internet to that page.

How to setup jpeg file as background image for all site pages and resolution stay same?

I have uploaded my new site to http://wwwtjhtestdec2012.businesscatalyst.com
I have background image set the same on all site pages but image is incorrectly zoomed way in on some pages (like Home page for example).
The Donate Page shows the correct resolution which I want displayed on all site pages.
How do I set all other site pages to match background image resolution of the Donate Page?
I am not sure what I am doing wrong that is changing this, or if it's possibly a bug?
I want the background image to be full screen on all site pages please advise how to resolve.
I would appreciate the assistance!
Thank you kindly!
Tammy

I have re-uploaded my site to http://wwwtjhtestdec2012.businesscatalyst.com.
If I set the Master page to Tile vertically that is only way I can get full screen background image of vegetables (without distortion).
Then however another issue occurs....
On Home Page of site I set same property to Tile and the background is better (no visible line where tiles meet---above the navigation tool bar--that is what I want for all pages associated to Master.
So logically, I tried setting a 2nd associated site page to same master, to Tile but on Statement of Faith Page, notice the horizontal line where tiles meet, above my navigation bar on that site page?
Why does Muse not handle both site pages associated to the same master identically?
Any of the other options besides Tile or Tile vertically cause the background to not fill entire screen.
Ideas?
