Shared Content - ASPX Master Page

Alonso Gonzalez asked on September 14, 2017 07:18

How can I edit the shared content between my pages under a aspx master template file ?

I have followed the steps here

But after adding a custom template page below my master page I can not see how to edit the shared areas I have in my master page ( for example the header and the footer )

you can't edit header footer using aspx. the master page is coded, one of the reasons Kentico doesn't recommend it.

I would go purely portal method, no reason to use aspx really.

make a portal master page, add your header/footer, and in the "middle" just add a page placeholder web part, vuala!

Hi Alonso,

Can you please brief about which type of editing you want?

if you looking for site editing or edit the content placed inside editable webparts, editable image webpart or some other configurable webparts. You need to add those webpart in your custom page template.

You can take reference for custom page template layout editing Reference link

Let me know if any other help I can do.

Thanks

Hi Alonso,

It seems your child pages aren't inheriting the master page template settings.

Check this document for your reference .

set page nesting on your child pages.

Which kentico version you are using, for other kentico version it show like inherit master template. Yes one more thing you need to take care your custom page template which you are using for child pages should not checked the property of master page template or it should not be a master page.
