It is possible that the master page for those is hard coded rather than
using the based approach that is the standard means of using the system
set masterpage.

Have you looked at what the raw html for that front page is using for
the masterpage?

Subject: [OzMOSS] RE: Branding Meeting workspaces

 

I have an update on this (but not a solution):

 

It appears that the front page of the meeting workspace is still using
mwsdefault.master - even after running code to change the master page.
The other pages are using the new master page.  Hmmm... maybe there is
some special code to set the master page properly for meeting
workspaces?

Subject: [OzMOSS] Branding Meeting workspaces

I am having a strange problem when branding meeting workspaces.  I am
using WSS 3.0.

 

I have successfully branded all the team sites by creating a new master
page and using feature stapling to attach it to the various site
templates.  I have also added a master page picker feature as well to
allow users to change the master page on existing sites from
default.master to the new one.

 

I have noticed that meeting workspaces use MWSdefault.master, so I
created a new master page for meeting workspaces by copying and renaming
MWSdefault.master and adding a few images to the top.  I have also added
a master page picker feature as well to allow users to change the master
page on existing sites to the new one (it is not oob functionality in
WSS).  Anyway, when I change the meeting workspace to use my new master
page the following happens:

 

- it DOES NOT work on the home page (ie .../default.aspx) of the meeting
workspace.  I have looked at the source and it is not using the new
master page.  I don't know what master page it is using.

- it DOES work on the other pages in the workspace such as lists (eg
..../Lists/Agenda/AllItems.aspx).

 

Is there something I am missing here?  Does anyone know what is special
about the meeting workspace pages that doesn't seem to allow my custom
master page to be applied to certain bits of it?

 

I am changing the master page using a custom master page picker that
uses the following code:

 

webRef.MasterUrl = webPathMasterUrl + "_catalogs/masterpage/" +
this.MasterPageList.SelectedValue;

webRef.Update();

 

Cheers,

Caroline
