Just discovered that the view pages sotored in [libraryName]/Forms _are_ layout pages and include custom placeholder content.
Is it advisable to revert these to "Default to Master's Content"? And, if so, will this information be saved with a site template? From: Paul Noone Sent: Tuesday, 23 September 2008 2:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Overriding System Master search placeholder If I can clarify this to avoid any confusion, the system master template's SPSWC:SearchBoxEx is configured to display no Advance Search URL and the SearchresultpageURL is defined. But both are being overridden in pages such as: ../Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx And the target pages for the search box and advanced search link are being changed respectively to: /SearchCenter/Pages/Results.aspx /SearchCenter/Pages/Adanced.aspx There is no layout page involved so it's not like the placeholder is being hijacked that way. Has anyone else run into this or know how to overcome it? The separate problem (but possibly related) is that I'm unable to change the page layout for these pages and they are therefore quite an unexpected eyesore for unsuspecting end users. Many thanks, Paul From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Monday, 22 September 2008 12:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [OzMOSS] Overriding System Master search placeholder Hi guys, It seems no matter what we do that the system master page's search placeholder always gets hijacked by SharePoint and replaced with its own. Our Custom master page behaves as expected. Does anyone know if you can override the values for the results page and Advanced Search link? I'd like to redirect to our own. [cid:[email protected]] The second oddity is that we're unable to change the page layout for any page's within the Search Center with Tabs site. e.g. Page Settings for the advanced.aspx page will only display (Welcome Page) Advanced Search, even though I have added our custom content types to the Pages library. I have managed compete customisation of Site Directory and other specific site types but search is being very resistant. I'm baffled as to how to customise this site. I'd happily create new pages (which allow correct selection of custom content types and layout pages) but I'd need to be able to override the system master search form target pages.
