I've created my custom page layout with custom content type (but derived from the content type page) on SharePoint 2013 in a publishing website. I have several field controls placed on the page layout (Title, some custom taxonomy fields, etc.) so I can change them directly in edit mode of the page. That works perfectly fine.
But there is the field "PublishingContact" (standard people field which comes with the content type of the article page) which can be set on the editform.aspx with the autocompletion control. I lost in placing this control on the page layout like i did with the others.
I've tried the classic "UserField" control, but this has no autocompletion. I've tried the ClientPeoplePicker but this control has no Property to map it to the corresponding field.
So has anyone an idea how to place the control of the editform on my page layout so I have the same functionality as on the editform, but on my page layout?
Thanks in advance!

I am trying to add a list view webpart to my page in sharepoint 2013. I edited the webpart and checked 'Display Search Box' option in the miscellaneous section. But Once I finish editing and save the page, page refreshes and loads. But the search box is not coming at all.
I had a similar problem which occurred since I modified the styles inside the list view.
A few questions...
Have you modified the styles inside the view that webpart is using.
Is the list a new one or migrated?
Is this a Publishing site site or other?
You are using enterprise version or other?
Ensure you are using the Default style , any other style the search box does not appear
I have create a custom field that inherits from SPFieldUser. Everything works fine on the site and the value displays fine in InfoPath as long as I am either in preview mode or select Edit In InfoPath. As soon as I view the form in the browser the field's value no longer displays. Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Thanks,
I might be wrong but that kinda makes sense to me, If editing a publishing page in SharePoint, the owner field for example is metadata on the page and can be filled in edit mode but when in display mode this metadata is not shown unless I explicitly show it. The fields shown in edit mode and display mode are different for pages and I am assuming the same for InfoPath forms.
How do you add a content query webpart to a apublishing page layout and configure it to aggregate content from the pages in the page library??Can some one give me some insight on this?? Do I drop a content query webpart in SP designer?? If I do that, how do I configure the query??
Or do I add a content query webpart using ribbon and then export it and make customizations and import and drop that one on the page layout??? Please someone???
SCENARIO: I have to insert a content query webpart to a publishing page layout for Physicians profile site. Based on the page layout, there will be profile pages for each physicians. Now, each physician's' profile page will have his/her primary practice location name, address, phone etc as well as other multiple practice locations. Say Mr Tom's primary location is listed as hospital 'x' on his profile page, now I want to be able to also aggregate the names of all the other lawyers that also work in hospital 'X' as Tom's office members on his bio page using content query webpart on the page layout. How do I add and configure the webpart? I mean it's easy to add a content query webpart in just one page and configure it but I want to add it on a page layout so all the content pages will have its implementation as the pages are created by the authors.
say there are 10 profile pages in the pages library and 5 of them have at least one of their pracice locations as hopital X(they may be working at hospital Y, Z..etc at the same time too), now I want all 5 doctors name aggregated on the Tom's profile pages as his office members!?
Lots of question marks... yes you can add the content query webpart to a layout by using SP designer. This will COPY that webpart to every page that is created using that layout (or has its layout switched to that one). That makes the query to set up tricky because it needs to get the input on WHICH physician from somewhere - check out this article here. Using the PageFieldValue option should do the trick.
To change a CQWP, don't modify the default version. Instead, navigate to your XSL file in the Style Library in SPD and copy the ItemStyle.XSL and rename the copy to something else (such as CUSTOMItemStyle.xsl). Then go to a test page, place a blank CQWP, and click "Export". Open the .webpart file that you exported and modify the properties to link to your CUSTOMItemStyle.xsl.
Save the .webpart file and import it back to the gallery through the browser. Rename the new CQWP (to something like CUSTOM_CQWP.webpart or whatever).
Now you can modify the CUSTOMItemStyle.xsl to use custom XSL. Shape the XSL file how your requirements dictate, then in your test page, change the Web Part properties to use your new custom ItemSTyle. Once your web part look like you want it to, you can export it again and then reimport it back into the gallery and all your settings will be saved.
Now you can go to Designer and add this web part to your page layouts. When the user uses that layout, the web part is already placed on the page and wired up accordingly. Additionally, by usign this method, they can change teh web part properties of the web part or even delete the web part altogether if they don't want it, without affecting your page layout.

I've inherited a SharePoint 2010 site with many page layouts. I am attempting to determine which page layout is active and update it with the SharePoint 2010 Designer without modifying every one of the layouts. Is this possible?
Go to your Pages library and either edit the view or add a new view that contains the column called "Page Layout". That way you can see which page layouts are in use.
I have a page layout for my MOSS '07 site that I want put a MultipleLookupField in. The field will point to a multiple lookup column in my custom content type that points back to the pages library so I can have a "Related Articles" field.
I've gotten the field to show up correctly--it's even editable when the page is in edit mode! But when you click on the link that shows up there, it display the page's properties view instead of the page itself.
There's lots of properties on the control, but there's little documentation at MSFT as to what they do.
Does anyone know how to change the link's URL to the actual page instead of the properties view?
Here's the tag I'm using:
<SharePointWebControls:MultipleLookupField
ID="MultipleLookupField1"
FieldName="RelatedIssues"
runat="server"></SharePointWebControls:MultipleLookupField>
The link takes me to here: /Pages/Forms/DispForm.aspx?ID=6&RootFolder=*
I want it to take me here: /Pages/faq1.aspx
Unfortunately the lookup control is designed to be compatible with generic lists and does not understand that the document libraries have a file with a specific url associated.
You will probably have to find a custom lookup control on the web or roll your own.
