Master page elements not rendered for sub menu node
I have an ABOUT page with a HISTORY page as a child node in a web site I am building. Both use the same web site Master page. When I open the ABOUT page, it will display correctly showing all Master page elements.
However, from the ABOUT page, when I select the sub-menu item HISTORY, the page is pulled up but none of the Master page elements are present.
Guess you need to tell us a bit more about those pages. Do you have info on the masterpage content and how you're pulling data (either directly in template or via xslt/razor)?
Also, did you verify the output when appending ?umbdebugshowtrace=true to the querystring. It may give some hints and will defenitely list all elements that are pulled onto the page.
The majority of the content from my masters page is template based (HTML/CSS). I appended "?umbdebugshowtrace=true" to URL as suggested but no errors were reported.
It seems like any page 2 tiers deep have the same issue. My content layout is something like this: ---------------------------- CONTENT -Home: -About -History -Another Page -Sub Page 1 -Sub Page 2 ---------------------------
I am not sure if this is best practice, but in the example above, About, History, Another Page, and Sub Page 1/2 will all Inherit from the same web site master page (Master.master). So both ABOUT and the child page HISTORY have the HTML for the content place holder of:
I think I have figured it out...I noticed on the HISTORY page that FireBug indicated that it couldnt find any CSS styles for any of my elements. SO I checked how I was referencing my CSS and it turns out I wasnt using a relative path:
Was using <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/default.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" />
vs. (correct method) <link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/default.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" />
**Note this difference between css/deffault.css and ../css/default.css. Hopefully, this oversight will help someone else down the road. Thanks again.

The URL for history is /about/history.aspx so it is rendered in the browser as www.websiteURL/about/history.aspx. If I open the page via this, www.websiteURL.com/history.aspx, then the page pulls up correctly.
Any ideas what I am missing? I am sure it is something simple I am just not considering.

Looking forward to your info.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
