    Child Template not being merge to Master Template

    I'm trying to build my first website using Umbraco and while I think I've got my head around Document Types, Templates and Content and how they link together, I seem to be hitting a brick wall when it comes to merging a template onto my Master Template.

    On my Master Template I have the following markup:

    <div id="left-column">
      <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="LeftColumnContent" runat="server" />
    </div>

    I've created another template as a child Template of this Master Template and called it Left Column. On this child template is the following markup:

    <asp:content ContentPlaceHolderId="LeftColumnContent" runat="server">
      Hello world
    </asp:content>

    My problem is that "Hello world" never shows on the page. The <div/> with ID "left-column" is empty.

    I've selected the Master Template from the "Master template" drop-down on the child template, as you can see here: http://screencast.com/t/4uGsSoUVJL

    Does anyone have any idea why this child template is not being merged onto my Master Template?

    Hi Andrew,

    This might be a red-herring, but have you tried not self-closing the ContentPlaceHolder tag?

    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="LeftColumnContent" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

    Apart from that, it looks like you've done everything else correctly.  Let us know how you get on.

    Cheers, Lee.

    Thanks for the suggestion Lee, but having changed it to this

    <div id="left-column">
      <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="LeftColumnContent" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
    </div>

    The <div/> is still empty.
