I'm trying to work out a way I can add my H1 and byline markup to my Root master page and then have all the pages underneath fill these fields in. I'm using the Portal Engine development mode.
The H1 and byline are in a different web part zone to the page placeholder. They are showing on all the pages under my root node but I can't find a way to make populate the title or byline on those pages.
I've tried a few things:
- editable text web part - but this is only editable on the Root node and not the pages underneath
- I thought maybe I could use <%# Eval("Byline" %> and add this as a field to the Page type but that doesn't show through either.
Is there any way to include something in the master page that is dynamically filled in (or editable in the designer) on all pages under the root node? Or do I need to move myH1 and byline out of the master page and include in every template that my pages use?
You can add additional field to your page type named 'Byline'. This field will be editable on Form tab of each page. Then you can include some viewer web part like Document Viewer or repeater. Then configure Path like './' (it means to display information for current page). And add transformation where you cat do something like <%# Eval("Byline") %>.
Or alternative way is to use static html web part and add macro there {%CurrentDocument.Byline%}.
You can do it using macros: add a static text web part on your master and set text property to :
<h1>{%CurrentDocument.DocumentPageTitle#%}</h1>
or
<h1>{%CurrentDocument.DocumentName#%}</h1>
depending on where you keep your page title.

I have a problem joining the page layout file to the master page. But nothing seems to show from my master page.
Below is my page layout for 2 column:
Below is my master page where i place my page layout inside it:
This is how my file directory look like:
The word "HAHDSDJl....." should appear in my master page. But it does not show. and i have no idea why.
I think you need to understand the use of PageLayout and Masterpage. MasterPages are used to unify the look for your website. while Page Layouts are used to provide a 2 - 3 columns to put web parts in it.
Master Pages can not have content from page layouts in any way.
So if you want to display a content from PageLayout in a master page then its not possible.
Let me know If I miss anything or wongly understand your question
Thanks
I am using one page template which contains master page layout also. Now when i access the page having layout which is displaying in browser. Now i wanted here if i use querystring like below:
http://localhost/Mywebsite/page?AppMode=true
then i wanted here to show only content of the page master layout should not be displayed with page content.
Currently i am using Kentico9.
A page's template is not something you can do with a macro, however you can control a Page Placeholder webpart with a macro/querystring.
So in order to do what you want, this is what you'll need to do.
For the page's actual template, it will pretty much just be a 'blank' page template, with a Page Placeholder webpart in it.
For the page placeholder webpart, set the path to "." (so it shows this page), and the Page Template you can then set with a macro: {% (Convert.ToBool(QueryString.AppMode, false) ? "NotAppModeTemplate" : "AppModeTemplate") %}
Tell me if that does the trick for ya! The only caviote is the only 'control' of the master template used is in the template settings, which can inherit the root or the nearest master template, so if you want one template to use 1 master page, and the other to use a different, you'll have to set the masterpages somewhere in their ancestry and then use the "Inherit from Level 0,1,2..." setting in the Page Template.
Assuming you're doing this using Kentico's ASPX mode of development. Do a simple check for the querystring and set the visibility of the placeholder in code behind. If I were doing this in Portal mode, I'd do that with a macro on a webpart.
I used in master page template conditional layout and that layout i used visible property with macro querystring with my condition except for my content place holder and it is working fine as i wanted.
I'm trying to create a CSS documentation library in Orchard. I want to save a description, CSS snippet and HTML snippet against each content type. The first view would show the description and CSS and HTML code written out. The second view would show a preview of what the CSS and HTML look like rendered.
cssdocumentation.com/content/item1
cssdocumentation.com/content/item1/live-preview
I've created the content type and the first view. But I'm not sure how to create the second view. I can see if I can create the alternative URL I can use the Url Alternates module to create an overriding .cshtml
To create an alternative URL I've looked at the autoroute module but this only allows you to adapt a single URL (unless I'm missing something?) and I've looked at Alias UI but this forces me to manually create an alternative URL everytime I create a content item.
Is this possible in Orchard without writting too much C#? (I'm a frontend developer so I only dabble in the behind the scenes stuff)
Thanks for any help
Best solution is to do this within your own module. But as a secondary option instead of having a second page, combine this content with your first page and hide it with CSS. When the user clicks a button to navigate to the next step render the CSS/HTML result on the same page. You can do this in many ways, here are a few ideas:
Render the CSS/HTML result out straight away on the same page but hide it. Show it when the user clicks a button
using jQuery to render the result on the client side. More dynamic if you allow editing of the HTML and CSS.
Redirecting the user to the same page with specific url parameters which you can pick up in your alternate to modify the output.
I have a code that creates a teamsite. After that I add some web parts to wiki web part zone(rich content area). In SharePoint 2010 user can change a text layout of the rich content in page edit mode.
Is there any way to programmatically change the text layout of the rich text area? I would want to set "two columns with header"-layout after site creation has completed.
My site is created like this.
site = elevatedSite.SelfServiceCreateSite(params.....);
rootWeb = site.RootWeb;
rootWeb.ApplyWebTemplate("STS#0");
SPListItem currentItem = rootWeb.Item;
var xhtml = currentItem[SPBuiltInFieldId.WikiField] as string;
Now I can modify the xhtml string and save it back to the page. I have tried to change it so that it contains exatly the same html structure which have created by sharepoint itself, when changing the text layout. After that change, actually it is not recognized as "two columns with header"-layout in sharepoint. It is still default one-column layout. Is there anybody who knows is it possible to change the text layout of the rich text area programmatically?
I found answer from here http://donalconlon.wordpress.com/2010/05/04/sp2010-creating-a-wiki-page-using-the-om/. SharePoint stores the information about used layout to the hidden span-element in wiki page.
For example, this presents two column layout without the header or footer.
<span id="layoutsData" style="display: none">false,false,2</span>
first false = no header
second false = no footer
2 = two columns
I have been looking for some information on doing the same thing. I found this blog post that checks out the page, edits the content then publish and approves it.
SharePoint 2010 change page content data through Object Model / API – Console Application
If you need to modify pure HTML content, its better to use cutom IHttpHandler (wrapped in dll) and connect it to SharePoint via web.config. Is is also allowing to modify dynamic content like AJAX responses.
I'm struggling to do something which I thought should be straight forward, basically I need to create an aspx page which I now realise must be put into a document library but the problem I have is it's only one page and when the page is displayed the breadcrumb has a link to the document library.
We really don't want the users to be able to get to the library via the breadcrumb and just want to show the page. From one of my other questions some other helpful people made some suggestions like putting the file in the _layout directory but this won't work because the new page has a master page associated with it.
Any ideas how I can display the custom page but not allow normal users to navigate to the document list?
Thanks!

Having a master page associated with an ASPX page does not prevent it from being placed in the _layouts directory. All of my ASPX pages use a custom master page I wrote, and they're all stored in the _layouts directory. But there's enough methods to hide the breadcrumbs without changing the storage location.
If you want to hide the breadcrumbs on only a specific page, the simplest method to do so is to prevent the contents of the breadcrumbs from being displayed. On the default master page (and I'm going assume that your master page also has this), there is a content called "PlaceHolderTitleBreadcrumb", which is what displays the breadcrumb. By overriding this in the ASPX file, you can prevent this from displaying. A simple way is to just insert the following line in your ASPX file:
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderTitleBreadcrumb" runat="server"> </asp:Content>
By being in the page itself, it becomes a custom version of the breadcrumb instead of the master page's, so it won't evaluate itself and will leave you with a blank line. The will keep content inside the table cell, so it will specifically make a blank line occupy the same space that the breadcrumbs normally would. If you just put an empty content there, then it will instead render nothing there and pull all of your content upwards. Up to you if you think that looks better.
As far as where to place the line, I recommend just beneath the following lines, if your ASPX page has them. If you don't have the following lines, you might have to experiment a bit to find what position works properly.
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderPageImage" runat="server">
<IMG SRC="/_layouts/images/blank.gif" width=1 height=1 alt="">
</asp:Content>
