Hey Anita,
I do the hidden panel thing all the time, so I don't think that is your issue. Unfortunately, I have never seen this issue before. A good place to ask questions to get maximum value is through the msdn forumns. There is a forumn specifically for designer located here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/s…

Hi Giles, sorry, haven't seen this one either. Sounds like there are some networking issues with your server that has Designer on it. Try the forum I mentioned to you before, it is a good place to ask questions.l

I was wondering if anyone who has created a custom master page has had the experience where visually everything seems to work, but when you edit an article page within the new template….it does not save the changes made.

I have the site actions button working, I click edit page, I type new content into the article, I choose exit edit mode. Looks good. But if I reload the page (navigate off and on to it again), the old version is still there.

Is there any specific control that I might have hidden (placed them at bottom of the template in hidden panel anything not wanted to display on interface) … that could be affecting saving of content ?

Well, I'm not going to ask for any help. I just wanted to say thank you
I'm a SharePoint developer, studying for 70-541. Deploying Master pages via features is one of the topics covered in the exam and I needed a quick refresher. Your article was very helpful as I couldn't find this topic covered in the SDK.

Cheers.

Hi Greg,
I do not know if anyone can really help me with this one as it may be an internal network issue but in the hope you or any of your collegues have come across it before I have the following problem...

I have been using SPD to customize the master pages in my site - all was going well and then we decided to make the portal accessible from outside the network on a SSL. We eventually gave up on that plan and went back to the option where users VPN into the netwrok to gain access.

Our server farm was working fine and then the minute we did all this changing about with SSL trial certificates we lost the ability to save changes to the MasterPG. The SPD client simply comes up with a dialog box " Web File Properties" "Verify document properties..." and then eventually decides to tell me the Server connection has timed out...

Any help on this one would be much appreciated.

Giles
