MVC and master pages
I am trying to implement the MVC approach for the first time using the news example in the documentation.

However, I need to use the master page for the main site, not the Root.master as in the example. How do I achieve this?

Hi,

You can set the masterpage in the individual views through:

<%@ page MasterPageFile="~/RoutetoMasterpage"%>

RE:MVC and master pages
Excuse my ignorance, but I'm actually not sure where that lives. I can edit the master page on the root node of the site, via the CMS desk, but what file or path is that?

Well, that masterpage is stored in the database, i don't think you can access that through the masterpagefile attribute. As far as i know that isn't possible.

RE:MVC and master pages
Hello,


if you use Portal engine, it is not possible to mix it with MVC. It means that it is not possible to use Portal master page for MVC page. You would need to create a standard ASP.NET master page for your page and use it like ddj-datacon mentioned.


Best regards,
