I am unable to create template page in sharepoint 2013.
Is there a way to do so ?
Thank You !
To create a page layout:
Browse to your publishing site.
In the upper-right corner of the page, choose the gear icon, and then choose Design Manager.
In Design Manager, in the left navigation pane, choose Edit Page Layouts.
Choose Create a page layout.
In the Create a Page Layout dialog box, enter a name for your page layout.
Select a master page.
The master page that you choose here will be shown in the preview for this page layout. This master page also determines what content placeholders get added to the page layout.
Note
After you choose this master page, you cannot preview the page layout with a different master page, even after you apply a different master page to the live site.
Select a content type. The content type for this page layout determines what page fields will be available for this page layout in the Snippet Gallery.
Choose OK.
At this point, SharePoint creates an HTML file and an .aspx file with the same name. In Design Manager, your HTML file now appears with a Status column that shows one of two possible statuses:
Warnings and Errors
Conversion successful
Click the link in the Status column to preview the file and to view any errors or warnings about the master page.
The preview page is a live server-side preview of your page layout. The top of the preview displays any warnings or errors that you may have to resolve by editing the HTML file in an HTML editor. Errors must be fixed before the preview will display the page layout correctly.
The preview page also contains a Snippets link in the upper-right corner. This link opens the Snippet Gallery, where you can begin replacing mockup controls in your design with dynamic SharePoint controls.
To fix any errors, edit the HTML file that resides directly on the server by using an HTML editor to open and edit the HTML file in the mapped drive. Each time you save the HTML file, any changes are synced to the associated .aspx file.
The preview of the page layout shows the page fields that were added automatically to the page layout. These page fields are site columns that are unique to the current content type. Now you are ready to style the page layout according to your original HTML mockups.

I've been trying to figure out a way to add a web part onto a page layout. Whenever I try to add a web part zone or web part via the menus in SharePoint Designer, nothing happens. The web part I selected is highlighted blue, but nothing happens.
I have been trying to add the .webpart code on the .aspx page layout with zero luck.
<WebPartPages:WebPartZone>
<ZoneTemplate>
.webpart code in here!
</ZoneTemplate>
</WebPartPages:WebPartZone>
The above just shows the web part zone, and the ability to add a web part, but doesn't show my web part.
I've tried placing the code outside the Zone Template and the WebPartZone, but I typically just get everything between the property tags displaying as text.
You cannot add the codes to get your webpart embeded on a page , you have to open the page layout in a designer and drop the webpart on that specific area - there may not be anyother work around for this

SharePoint was not updated to support creating the snippet of code to add the WebPart to the Page Layout like it is possible with old fashioned WebParts.
Even when inserted in the Page Layout .html file, it is stripped out when the corresponding .aspx file is generated.
We found a workaround which is far from ideal but works:
Edit your Page Layout as you would normally in HTML
Add a WebPart zone where you would like to see the WebPart
Save the HTML and let SharePoint generate the aspx file
Manually edit the aspx file -- don't use SharePoint Designer, as it will strip out what you added -- with a plain text editor and insert the code from the webpart definition (the XML file)
Save the aspx and when you create a page using the page layout, your SPFx webpart should be there
Note that for the WebParts parameters, it is stored as a JSON structure encoded in HTML. To figure out how to setup default parameters in the inserted WebPart, insert it into a regular page manually and look at what has been generated in the aspx file. Then find the long line that has the encoded JSON structure and copy it back to your edited aspx file.
Finally, never edit/save your page layout HTML file since it ewill then simply override your changes. I would keep a copy of your edited aspx file just in case!
It sounds like you're trying to use a Visual Web Part with SharePoint Online, which you can't do. Web parts for SharePoint Online need to be packaged as a part of a solution.
To deploy a solution to SharePoint Online you need to:
Navigate to the solutions gallery: https://<yourfarmsite>/catalogs/solutions/forms/allitems.aspx
Providing that you are logged in with the correct account and have permissions, this will take you to the solution gallery, where you can upload and activate custom web parts for site.
Click the Solutions Menu
Click Upload Solution
Browse to your custom .wsp file and click OK
After the web part has been uploaded, you can activate it; select the web part and click Activate
Now that the custom web part is uploaded and activated in the Solution Gallery, you can edit the site page that you want to add it to and then add it as per a normal web part.
I have created a page layout from Site Setting -> Design Manager -> Edit Page Layout -> Create New Page Layout
Its conversion was successful but I can't find an option to do the followings:
Add a new page with this new page layout
Change the page layout of an existing page to this newly created page layout
If you have Publishing infrastructure activated, you must to checkout/checkin/publish in order to the master/layout begin selectable at page creation.
You can accomplish that both, using SharePoint Designer or Site->settings->master page and layouts.
In sharepoint 2013, I have 2 custom layout pages:
1 associated with Content Type = Article Page, and
1 associated with Content Type = Welcome Page.
I add a Web Part zone to both layout pages.
I create a web page from either layout page.
When I edit the web page to fill in the Web Part zone, no Web Part zone appears and this appears in its place: $Resources:core,ContentEditorWebPartTitle;
Any clues?
Thanks.
I'm adding the steps of my process hoping that may make things clearer:
access desired site.
went to Design Manager
clicked "Edit Page Layouts"
clicked desired custom page layout
clicked "Snippets"
clicked "Web Parts / Media and Content"
clicked "Content Editor"
clicked "Copy to Clipboard"
then
opened custom page layout (.html) in Sharepoint Designer 2013
copied the clipbboard contents within the "asp:ContentPlaceHolder" tags
saved
then
returned to browser
went back to "Design Manager"
and "Publish a Major Version" of the custom layout page
then
clicked "Add a Page"
goto "Page" tab
click "Page Layout"
select my custom layout page
then scroll to examine my new page (while in "Edit" mode)
result
I see the text "$Resources:core,ContentEditorWebPartTitle;",
but no box for adding content.
Thanks
Im new to Sharepoint myself, but this sounds like your snippet might be wrong. If you can access the snippet manager, how to do this is on MSDN SharePoint 2013 Design Manager snippets.
Then what you want to do is create the snippet using the snippet manager, try the Content Editor inside the Media and Content section, you can then add this to your MasterPage inside the MainContent user control.
You could try adding this snippet to your PageLayout.html instead of MasterPage.html in place of the current web part thats failing, to see if that works.
Remove the web part zones from your layout pages.
Open the layout page in design manager and navigate to snippet manager.
Copy the snippet for web part zone and place them in the layout as desired.
Publish the layout.
Hope this will help to resolve your issue
Your problem is on Step#10 you should put your code inside the following tag:
asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server"
I have a PopUp opened by
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog
but the content of this Pop Up hasn't any styles of the Sharepoint Portal. (It hasn't access to javascript of the main page, too). It seems that is because SP uses iframes to open it.
How can the Pop Up get the styles from the main page?
SharePoint modal dialogs use the same MasterPage as the Portal. Most of the styles are hidden using CSS tag i.e. s4-notdlg. If you search for this tag under master page, any styles under this will not be displayed on Modal Dialog.
You should either create PopupMaster.master for your popup pages, as modifying this tag will also effect Modal Dialogs used by SharePoint by default. Or you can also create a custom Master Page for Portal and modify as per your need.
I'm working on creating a reusable and extensible web application in SharePoint 2010. I've created a master page to apply across all pages in the site. However, whenever I create a web part page and navigate to it, the site icon does not display. Instead of my custom site icon being displayed it shows the default SharePoint icon. I can get around this by placing the icon directly into the master page, but that would require me to create a new master page if I ever wanted to extend this web application.
Does anyone know why this is happening? My initial thought was that the web part page had somehow been customized to not use the default master page, but that does not seem to be the case: if I update the master page it is reflected in the web part page.
Googling around and checking this site yielded little answers. I only found one post out there that reported the same issue I am observing but there was no solution.
If it helps, I did notice one phenomena when navigating to this page. Before the page completely loads, the correct site icon appears for a split second before being replaced with the default site icon. Hope that helps.
I ran into the same issue this morning and didn't want to create a custom master page just for this, but luckily it was quickly resolved by following admlcrunch's suggestion (on SharePoint 2010):
Go to the desire page
Click on the "Page" tab at the top
Click on the "Title Bar Properties" at the right (in the ribbon)
In the Image Link section on the right, paste in the image URL
Click OK
The only bad thing about this is, you have to update every Web Part page that you want custom icon image to display.
I was just having the same issue. Web Part Pages have their own icon that you can set.
To set the icon click Page > Title Bar Properties. This will open the Web Part Page Title Bar dialog. In this dialog there is an area to set the Image Link. You can set the icon here. I just copied the URL to the site icon.
Open the page in designer and remove the custom titlebar place holder:
[WebPartPages:TitleBarWebPart]
from the :
[asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea"]
