I have a Office365 PRO account subscription, which offers integrated sharepoint websites, and I want to use the Sharepoint Designer for designing Forms in my Websites.
Now, in the designer, I can open the site and ASPX pages, but I can only edit the HTML Code. I don't see the graphical designer area, and all toolbar items like Button, Textbox, etc. are disabled.
The program also says "the page does not contain any regions that are editable in safe mode":
So, how can I create a sharepoint website which can be fully edited with the Sharepoint Designer ?
I have of course downloaded the latest version.
Design View was removed from SharePoint 2013:

The alternative would be mapping your SharePoint site as a network drive unit and work with your favorite WYSIWYG editor, but that would have many limitations.

Here i have a issue with SharePoint Designer 2013, an Modern site page was build on SharePoint Online. But i need to customize the modern page and adding url to quick links.
Though modern page doesn't support CEWP or SEWP it's hard to custom the page. But what i am looking is to edit the site pages from SPD 2013 and if i edit the planner.aspx will changes save, unfortune i have Url to navigate the user from the one page to other url(https://...Planner.aspx).
What i want is when user clicks on above link, it should open in new tab and i have to align the page with Css branding. i am adding something like this to open in new tab using SPD href="/abc/xyz/3/SitePages/Planner.aspx?web=1 target="_blank" but no luck at the end.
Looking for an solution, Thanks in advance !
As far as i understand, using SharePoint Designer is not supported for modying the SharePoint modern experience.
You should be using the SharePoint Framework to modify your pages, you can see the full list of supported modifications here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/modern-experience-customizations
However, if you are used to using CEWP and SEWP, you can deploy an app which replicates the functionality in the modern pages

Atlthough this is probably not supported either, it should allow you to make the changes you want.
I deployed and activated the SharePoint Learning Kit (SLK) to my SharePoint 2013 Foundation according to this video. In the video there is a Web Part called "Assignment List Web Part". But I don't have this one in my Web Part Collection.
I have all SLK Features activated but the Web Part is still missing.
Is my solution corrupted or is SLK not capable with SharePoint 2013 Foundation?
You have to activate the WebPart on Site Collection level.
Select Site Actions | Site Settings to get to the site setting page.
Under Site Collection Administration select Site Collection Features.
Activate the feature.
This will add the "Assignment List Web Part" to the WebPart gallery.

For further questions regarding SLK, you might ask them on the Codeplex SLK Discussion Board.
There you have the chance to discuss your questions with other people facing the same problems and even the developer himself.
I'm taking over a SharePoint portal and noticed the previous developer used SharePoint Designer for all of the development whereas I use Visual Studio custom solutions/features for development.
NOTE: Site Publishing Features are enabled on a Team Site template for some web applications.
The issue I've noticed is the v4.master content type was changed from "Master Page" content type to "Page Layout" content type. This must have been done through the "Edit Properties" on the publishing site. When opening the site in SP Designer, the v4.master shows up in Page Layouts instead of Master Pages.
The v4.master also has the blue icon next to it meaning the page is customized and content is stored in the database which is causing performance issues. SharePoint is so slow that users are very frustrated. Also there are script tags in the masterpage pointing to jquery in the top level scripts directory. Personally, I would of created a delegate control for this instead of customizing the v4.master. NO Copy was made. (I totally dislike SP Designer, this tool gives too much power to inexperienced power users that like to put sharepoint developer on their resumes. I am definitely disabling SP Designer)
So, with all that said, what are the best practices or suggestions if any in fixing this issue?
What issues will this cause for future applications or site collections?
Should I develop and deploy a custom master as a feature then "Reset to Site Definition" on the v4.master?
Why does SharePoint allow users to change the Content Type on a Master Page to "Page Layout"? Why is this even an option, it doesn't even make sense?
All you need to do within the SharePoint Designer is publish the master page in the page layouts folder and approve it in the Master pages and page layouts in site settings. The master page will appear in the master pages section in SharePoint designer.
Based on the location seleted from the map ,weather report for that specific location should be displayed using sharepoint 2010. Is there any plug ins or webpart available ??

You can add javascript/html to a page using SharePoints Content Editor Web Part (CEWP) so you can just find one of the dozens of online services that do this and use their javascript on your SharePoint page.
It`s possible in sharepoint 2010, will set up a list of custom data source and then adapt new input forms from visual web parts which will replace the existing add, edit and delete forms?
if it is possible, then how?
Here is an article on MSDN that describes how to use InfoPath to customise the Display, Edit and New forms for external list data (business connectivity services).
Just like in SharePoint 2007 you can change the association of the New, Edit and Display forms using SharePoint Designer in SharePoint 2010. You can create new ASPX pages, or use InfoPath forms as per the above. These ASPX pages can contain the functionality you want directly, or host visual web parts with the right permissions.
Here is an article that describes how to change the associated forms for a list with SharePoint Designer. I would recommend creating new pages and associating the list to those rather than trying to update the existing pages. This avoids any problems if the out of the box files are updated by a service pack / hotfix etc, and also allows you to revert to the out of the box forms if needed.
