    I get error trying to make home page child of master template : " Master directive not found"

    I've literally followed youtube tutorial by Warren Buckley and i simply cannot get it working without getting this error all the time while selecting master template for Homepage.

     

    Homepage template code:

     

    <%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/umbraco/masterpages/default.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>

    <umbraco:Item field="bodyText" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>

     

    Master template code:

    <%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="/umbraco/masterpages/default.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>

    <asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolderDefault" runat="server">
    <html>
    <head>
        <title>
            <umbraco:Item field="pageName" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>
        </title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>
            Welcome....
        </h1>

        <!-- Start of child template -->
        <asp:ContentPlaceHolder runat="server" id="MasterContentPlaceHolder" />
        <!-- End of child template -->

    </body>
    </html>
    </asp:Content>

     

    Is it just me not being able to follow a tutorial or is this buggy?

    Hi,

    easiest way to create a child-template is simply to right-click on your master-template in the content-tree and then select 'Create new'.

    It will simply create a new template which has the mastertemplate allready set as mastertemplate.

    Also a default Contentplaceholder is added (which you need)

    Does this help you?

    Well i tried making master template at the begining

    so here's the order of creation:

     

    master template: code

    <%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="/umbraco/masterpages/default.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>

    <asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolderDefault" runat="server">
    <html>
    <head>
        <title>
            <umbraco:Item field="pageName" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>
        </title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>
            Welcome....
        </h1>

        <!-- Start of child template -->
        <umbraco:Item field="bodyText" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>
        <!-- End of child template -->

    </body>
    </html>
    </asp:Content>

     

    created child of this template named Home site with code:

    <%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="/masterpages/Master.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
    <umbraco:Item field="bodyText" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>

    THEN i created document type with allowed template Homesite, added a tab or two

    then created content and assigned this template Homesite to it

    but same problem occurs.

     

    So i've done it backward literally and some problem

    Hi,

    This is because you just write <umbraco:Item field="bodyText" runat="server"></umbraco:Item> in your child template. You have to put a content element arround it and in  the master put a ContentPlaceHolder tag. BTW if you follow the steps Peter suggested you can do that from the template editor. The buttons Insert Content area and content area placeholder really helpful.

    So for now it's the best thing to open the Master Template in Umbraco on the position where you want to insert the child template click the insert content area placeholder button(3th from the right) Enter the placeholder Id and click save

    Then open the child template, remove all but <%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="/masterpages/Master.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %> (Did you name the Master template Master)

    And click Insert Content area (2th button from the right). then select the placeholder id you've created in the master template. A new content area will be inserted in the template and in the content area you can display the bodytext using <umbraco:Item field="bodyText" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>.

    All this applies to ASP.NET masterpages in general. If you want to know more about masterpages check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wtxbf3hh.aspx 

    Hope this helps you,

    Richard

    Your master-template should look like:

    <%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="/umbraco/masterpages/default.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
    <html>
    <head>
        <title>
            <umbraco:Item field="pageName" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>
        </title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>
            Welcome....
        </h1>
    <asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolderDefault" runat="server">
    </asp:Content>
    </body>
    </html> 

    The child-template then should look like this:

    <%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="/masterpages/Master.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
    <asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolderDefault" runat="server">
       <umbraco:Item runat="server" field="bodyText" />
    </asp:Content>

    Note the asp:Content in both files. The child-template must reference the masterpage

    HTH,

    Peter
