PlaceHolderMain in Sharepoint showing breadcrumb and title - sharepoint

I am trying to print the breadcrumb and title of a page in share point using a custom.master. I tried using the following code:
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea" runat="server" />
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderTitleBreadcrumb" runat="server" />
This is not outputting anything to the screen. The breadcrumb and title are displaying in
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server" />
However I want to get the content out from there and display it in a different part of the page. How would I go about doing this?

You can specify what's inside your PlaceHolderMain and move all of its default contents to somewhere outside. Then, add the Breadcrumb placeholders where they belong.
That is, in your master page you make an epmty "PlaceHolderMain":
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server">
<!--nothing inside here -->
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
And you will have to fild place somewhere else on your page for the following placeholders:
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderSearchArea" runat="server"/>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderTitleBreadcrumb" runat="server"/>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea" runat="server"/>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderLeftNavBar" runat="server"/>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="PlaceHolderPageImage" runat="server"/>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="PlaceHolderBodyLeftBorder" runat="server"/>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="PlaceHolderNavSpacer" runat="server"/>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="PlaceHolderTitleLeftBorder" runat="server"/>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="PlaceHolderTitleAreaSeparator" runat="server"/>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="PlaceHolderMiniConsole" runat="server"/>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderCalendarNavigator" runat ="server" />
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderLeftActions" runat ="server"/>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderPageDescription" runat ="server"/>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderBodyAreaClass" runat ="server"/>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderTitleAreaClass" runat ="server"/>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderBodyRightMargin" runat="server" />
See the "minimal master" articles from Microsoft http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa660698.aspx as well as from Heater Solomon: http://www.heathersolomon.com/blog/archive/2007/01/26/6153.aspx
Also, take a look at how Microsoft people have made their master pages bundled with MOSS. You can find them on your MOSS server, "\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\PublishingLayouts\MasterPages"

jCrop not working in Sharepoint webpart or app page

Hello im having problems migrating my project i made in asp.net with jquery 1.4.3 and jcrop, into the sharepoint environment. It works perfectly even in IE.
This is my scriptcode:
<link href="Scripts/jquery.Jcrop.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery-1.4.3.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery.Jcrop.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" defer='defer'>
jQuery(window).load(function () {
var jcrop_obj;
jQuery('#imgCrop').Jcrop({
onSelect: storeCoords,
aspectRatio: 1 / 1
}, function () { jcrop_obj = this; });
});
function storeCoords(c) {
jQuery('#X').val(c.x);
jQuery('#Y').val(c.y);
jQuery('#W').val(c.w);
jQuery('#H').val(c.h);
};
</script>
This is the elements i use exactly the same as i use in my solution outside sharepoint that works.
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlUpload" runat="server">
<asp:FileUpload ID="Upload" runat="server" />
<br />
<asp:Button ID="btnUpload" runat="server" OnClick="btnUpload_Click" Text="Upload" />
<asp:Label ID="lblError" runat="server" Visible="false" />
</asp:Panel>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlCrop" runat="server" Visible="false" Width="956px">
<asp:Image ID="imgCrop" runat="server" />
<br />
<asp:HiddenField ID="X" runat="server" />
<asp:HiddenField ID="Y" runat="server" />
<asp:HiddenField ID="W" runat="server" />
<asp:HiddenField ID="H" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="btnCrop" runat="server" Text="Crop" OnClick="btnCrop_Click" />
</asp:Panel>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlCropped" runat="server" Visible="false">
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Here is your cropped picture:"></asp:Label>
<br />
<asp:Image ID="imgCropped" runat="server" />
</asp:Panel>
</div>
</form>
</body>
Of course i also have the right elements for it and so on, since it works when running it without sharepoint.
When i debug my code, both the jquery and the jcrop is loaded properly, and when i run through the code and breakpoint where i call the .Jcrop method, it actually goes into the jcrop file and runs through it with no errors, however when it is done running there is no jcrop stuff on my picture. i tried in both firefox and internet explorer.
I don't see any reason to include any serverside code since thats not the problem whatsoever.
My question is really, is there something i have to take into concern when running it through an application page in sharepoint.
Thanks in advance!
Well I'm assuming this is on an ASPX webpart page or in a webpart solution.
SP 2007 has 7K lines of CSS code, SP 2010 has 13K lines of CSS code.
Your CSS may be conflicting with SharePoint's. Try using strong names and see if it behaves correctly.
Also, wrap your HTML code in a table. This helps from not inheriting most core CSS styles.
<table><tr><td>
ASPX html here
</td></tr></table>

Modifying the position of title text content placeholder in SharePoint 2010

I am a beginner in SharePoint and I have a SP 2010 teamsite where in my aim (for now) is to modify the web header and title.
Under the style tag "s4-titletext" which contains the title of the page followed by navigation link (I assume that is breadcrumb navigation), I would like to shift the whole block below the title icon instead of beside it...
Is there an OOTB to do this? or would I have to go through the designer?
I tried the Designer way and was able to shift the block below the title icon, however it shows me only the Site title and not the breadcrumb link.....
<td class="s4-titletext" >
<h1 name="onetidProjectPropertyTitle">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderSiteName" runat="server">
<SharePoint:SPLinkButton runat="server" NavigateUrl="~site/" id="onetidProjectPropertyTitle"><SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property="Title" runat="server" /></SharePoint:SPLinkButton>
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</h1>
<span id="onetidPageTitleSeparator" class="s4-nothome s4-bcsep s4-titlesep">
<SharePoint:ClusteredDirectionalSeparatorArrow runat="server"/> </span>
<h2>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea" runat="server" />
</h2>
<div class="s4-pagedescription" tabindex="0" >
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderPageDescription" runat="server"/>
</div>
</td>
Where am I possibly going wrong.... :(

Update Wiki pages to display SharePoint Fields and not break Site Definition

I have a requirement to display SharePoint fields as a footer on only certain pages, so this rules out a master page change, and I haven't had any success with plain-old HTML.
What I'm trying to display is the following code:
<SharePoint:DeveloperDashboard runat="server"/>
<div class="s4-notdlg" style="clear:both; background-color:orange; padding:10px">
<SharePoint:CreatedModifiedInfo ControlMode="Display" runat="server">
<CustomTemplate>
<br>Page Contact: <SharePoint:FormField FieldName="Page Contact" runat="server" ControlMode="Display" DisableInputFieldLabel="True" />
<br>Last modified on <SharePoint:FieldValue FieldName="Modified" runat="server" ControlMode="Display" DisableInputFieldLabel="True" />
by <SharePoint:FormField FieldName="Author" runat="server" ControlMode="Display" DisableInputFieldLabel="True" />
<br>Comments: <SharePoint:FormField FieldName="Check In Comment" runat="server" ControlMode="Display" DisableInputFieldLabel="True" />
</CustomTemplate>
</SharePoint:CreatedModifiedInfo>
</div>
When editing the page in Advanced Mode, no matter where I place the code, I break site definition. Is there a good place to insert this code in the page? Or does the Site Definition need to be changed.
Breaking the Site Definition may not be what you are thinking. It is just saying to you that the page is not one of the 'defaults' anymore, as a way to identify what have been customized on the site.
Every edit you make on those pages are like that, so it is OK to get that message. You may also "reset to site definition" when you want to, but this is not usually very stable on my experience.

User control incorrectly displaying in modalpopup extender

I'm placing a user control inside a modal popup. The problem is that it is getting displayed even before the popup is being invoked. If I replace the user control with anything else, it is hidden correctly. The moment I put back in the user control, I get the same issue.
Here is my code:
<asp:Panel ID="plSearch" runat="server" CssClass="modalPopup" Width="365">
<uc1:Search ID="searchSponsor" runat="server" Mode="ReturnID" />
<asp:Button ID="SearchCancel" runat="server" Text="Cancel" CausesValidation="False" />
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="upSearch" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblSponsor" runat="server" />
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
</asp:Panel>
<asp:ModalPopupExtender ID="mpeSearch" runat="server" TargetControlID="lbSearch"
PopupControlID="plSearch" BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground" DropShadow="False"
Enabled="True" CancelControlID="SearchCancel" />
When I moved the linkbutton that was named as the modalpopup's TargetControlID to immediately above the mpe, it displayed correctly.

How to output Site title on a sharepoint masterpage

I have a custom masterpage in sharepoint and want to output the site title in a different part of the page. Currently I can see the site title which is outputted using the following code:
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server" Visible="true" />
Apparently using
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea" runat="server" Visible="true" />
Should also output the title but is returning nothing. Any ideas what is going wrong?
The Code you have mentioned are the Content Place Holders where you can replace the Content, You can place the register the below tag in the top the page and
<%# Register Tagprefix="SharePoint" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
And place the below code to get the Title of the Page
<SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property="Title" runat="server" />
If you want to do that in the master page level you can do with the below code
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea" runat="server" Visible="true">
<SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property="Title" runat="server" />
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
Unless you override the above content place holder you will get the Title of the Web Automatically
This can be done by using the ProjectProperty control (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.webcontrols.projectproperty.aspx)
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea" runat="server">
<SharePoint:ProjectProperty property="Title" runat="server" />
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
