Author CMS and Master Pages
Tom

I noticed in VS.NET 2005 that if I create a new MCMS template, it does not
give me the ability to associate it with a Master Page. This option is
greyed out.

But I can create regsular web forms and associate it with a Master Template.

That said, what do I have to do to 'enable' my web forms to be MCMS templates?

Is it just a matter of adding the register tag at the top for MCMS ir is
there more to it?
<%@ Register TagPrefix="cms"
Namespace="Microsoft.ContentManagement.WebControls"
Assembly="Microsoft.ContentManagement.WebControls" %>

I've successfully used master pages with MCMS,

You need to do it by hand but you can simply add the MasterPageFile
attribute to the <%@ Page %> tag at the top of your mcms template.

At any rate mcms templates are, as you say, just normal web form with a
few defaults inserted such as the cms tag definition and the default
console.

Spencer:

I did as your article link has suggessted but my asp.net 2.0 menu is still
goofy!@#$%
When I create an ew MCMS page by clicking the Switch to Edit link and
selecting the template that's hooked to my aspx page that was based on Master
Page, my menu jumps all over the place.

Can you pprovide any further assistance?

Thanks

Tom
