Listing of all default placeholders on master pages

Posted by

I had an issue with a Master Page that I developed. The Master Page worked fine but when an Wiki was used they couldn’t see the Edit Button for the page, as detailed below.

Turns out that since we were using a custom master page, in order for the thing to work we do what a lot of people do, that is create the Master Page with all the placeholders but then put a whole bunch into a hidden panel to not mess up the HTML.

Well of course this works in the majority of cases but for a wiki, which needs the PlaceHolderMiniConsole control, it wasn’t the best.

Then I came to this fantastic post by Tom from SharePointForEndUsers.com that has a great listing and pictures of all the default placeholders. Its also one of the better SharePoint blog sites out there having a whole range of great content.
