Load pages inside master template

Is there any particular reason you're using ASPX development model vs. Portal? Having worked with Kentico since 2008 and early v4, I've found very few instances where I've needed to use straight ASPX model or even ASPX + Portal. You can typically everything you need with Portal and custom webparts (unless you're doing MVC).

If you must use ASPX model, I suggest starting out here: https://docs.kentico.com/k10/developing-websites/developing-websites-using-aspx-templates

Hi Brendan,

To be honest, another developer had a bit more Kentico experience and he used ASPX dev. for his project. I assumed it was 'the way to go'. I'll give the Portal option a go and see if what I want gets done this way.

After some fiddling around, I think I got it working. What I did was:

• opened up the Settings application
• picked the site in the top left select
• opened up the Content tab
• selected the page I want to use as the default page, under Web site Content

Now if I open up the Pages application, I see a master page with 3 'subpages' I created: homepage, subpage and subpage 2. When I browse to the evironment, I see the elements from the master page (header, footer) and in between I see the content from the homepage. Clicking on the subpage or subpage 2 menu items, the content changes accordingly.

Not the full 100% sure this is the correct road to take, but it works as I want it to work. So I'm a happy developer (=

Hi Brendan,

I've search a bit more about those template types and I found a possible reason why we use Aspax/portal page instead of the Portal option. Using the first, we can select a template made with a external editor (in this case Sublime Text). When using the Portal page option, we can't seem to find this select option.

Maybe it's not the correct way to go, but we're fairly new to this Kentico thing still. We're learning as we go :)
