RE: Page layouts

[Nigel Hertz]

Hi Brian

Thanks for pointing me in that direction :)

I decided to try modifying the masterpage first, before redoing everything in 
HTML. I hid the default PlaceHolderTitleBreadCrumb and created a 2nd one called 
PlaceHolderTitleBreadCrumb1. I think changed the page layouts used across the 
site to refer to the new placeholder, and it works great. The files in the 14 
hive can now overwrite whatever they want because it's hidden, and the system 
pages display with the current nav as it doesn't know any better.

They don't use a page layout as such, they are all custom ASPX pages that sit 
in the 14 hive, and from memory they will grab a different site map provider to 
the default one that is used in the page layouts in SharePoint (They use 
SPSiteMapProvider and I'm pretty sure that page layouts use the 
CurrentNavigation one). Also they use different properties on the 
ListSiteMapPath control to generate that cascading offset as well.

You should be able to get around this in your master page by hiding the 
PlaceHolderBreadcrumb placeholder and just putting a constant set of HTML and 
controls in to the master page that you want to be used everywhere, because all 
the system pages just override that placeholder to do the content their way. 
Pretty sure there isn't ever anything else important that will get missed by 
hiding that place holder, but as always test your site after the change to be 
sure.

Hey all

This should hopefully be an easy one. Does anyone know what page layout is used 
for system pages? (i.e. View all site content) For some reason, the breadcrumbs 
on system pages are messed up.
