ASPX Masterpage Template

Shane Cao asked on December 17, 2018 16:56

So I was using a standard Portal master template at first but was then notified that I would need to add a back end tool to my site called Bright Edge. In order to do so I must create my own custom master page in ASPX which I have done. I'm able to select my custom master template through the root page by pointing to the path of the file. The template loads fine, my header and footer look great.

My issue is that when I try to view my home page, about page, or any page it doesn't seem to load my template even after I set it to load the closest master template through the general tab. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In your masterpage code, add a reference to the header and footer user controls:

<%@ Register Src="~/App/UserControls/MenuControls/HeaderControl.ascx" TagName="menu" TagPrefix="cc1" %>
<%@ Register Src="~/App/UserControls/MenuControls/FooterControl.ascx" TagName="footer" TagPrefix="cc1" %>

Then inside the body tag, add some code similar to this for your layout:

<form id="form1" runat="server">
    <asp:ScriptManager ID="manScript" runat="server" ScriptMode="Release" EnableViewState="false" />
    <cms:CMSPortalManager runat="server" ID="manPortal" EnableViewState="False" />
    <cms:CMSPagePlaceholder runat="server" ID="pagePlaceHolder">
        <LayoutTemplate>
            <div class="page-wrapper" id="content" role="main">
                <cc1:menu runat="server"></cc1:menu>
                <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="main" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
                <cc1:footer runat="server"></cc1:footer>
            </div>
        </LayoutTemplate>
    </cms:CMSPagePlaceholder>
</form>
