SharePoint 2007 Picture Library issue with Custom Master Page

I have noticed an issue on a couple different SharePoint environments that
are using custom master pages. For some reason a user cannot view the
thumbnail or filmstrip view; only the details view will display. No
errors are thrown when a user selects the filmstrip or thumbnail view, in
fact nothing happens at all.

If the master page for the site is changed to default.master then the
picture library functionality returns.

I am trying to narrow down the issue. I am guessing there is some
SharePoint control, zone or script that is not being loaded in the custom
master page.

Has anyone run into this problem? Any suggestions? Currently I am going
line by line between the master pages trying to identify any control or
script differences. So far no luck.

Hi Mike,

From your description, you're encountering some problem with the picture
library when applying a custom master page in the sharepoint site.

Regarding on the custom master page, how did you create the custom master
page. Are you directly customizing from the existing default master page
via sharepoint designer:

#Customizing Master Pages in Windows SharePoint Services
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms476046.aspx

or add new master pages via features?

Sincerely,

I created a new master page using a minimal.master file that contains all of
the required controls and zones for SharePoint to work. I uploaded that
into the master page gallery and have since made a few minor UI tweaks using
SharePoint designer.

Overall everything else seems to work fine except for the thumbnail and
filmstrip views of the picture library. I had another person who is
working on a different system (with different custom master page) try their
picture library and they too are seeing the same issue.

If we revert back to the default.master page everything works fine. This
leaves us to believe we are missing a script reference or some control in our
master page that the picture library normally uses. Can you find out what
are the required dependencies in a master page for the picture library to
work?

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks for your reply Mike,

If the problems occurs on multiple servers, I think it is probably a common
issue. Would you provide a brief description of the custom master page and
a detailed steps to repro such problem. I'll forward the issue to some
other engineers for more ideas.

I agree it is a common problem across both servers. The only way to
reproduce the error is to use the exact same master pages that are on our
servers. I am not sure if a person would accidentally create the exact same
issue when making a master page.

Could you just forward the following question to an engineer: What control
or piece of code is required in the master page file to allow SharePoint to
properly create the thumbnail and filmstrip views for a picture library?

I believe I have this one figured out. I'm assuming you started with a
Minimal master page template, which has ContentPlaceHolder
"PlaceHolderLeftActions". Best as I can tell, this region is only used in
Picture and Slide Libraries, and always renders invisible contents.

The javascript WSS uses to render the Thumbnails and Filmstrip views refers
to a local variable inside the page content control that contains a small
invisible thumbnail image. This is called inside a small <SCRIPT> tag after
the initial list view's controls, and if it can't find the thumbnail control,
it doesn't render the two additional controls necessary for the Thumbnail
and Filmstrip views.

In order to get the additional views in a custom master page, you just need
to move your PlaceHolderLeftActions control to within your primary content
region of the master page.

Hope this helps

Hi Mike,

Have you also had a look at Justin's reply since he has mentioned some
solution he has ever worked out. Maybe it also helps for your scenario.

I've got a problem like this one too.

I've got the PlaceHolderLeftActionsin my custom MasterPage in the same place
as in the default.master and I can use all the Picture Library views.

However when I choose the Thumbnail view it doesn't show the thumbnails
inline (next to eachother) but as a column (1 image every row). I've checked
the code and it are all <SPAN>'s so the should be lined next to eachother.

When I switch back to the default.master, they are perfectly inline.

I had the exact same issue, and it was due to the Doc Types in the heading of
the master page.

In default.master, the doctype is blank, so IE7 renders the images using
non-strict rendering. However, in the Minimal.Master, it is set to 4.01
loose (if i recall correctly, I don't have my code infront of me at the
moment).

To fix this, I added some styles to the CSS library (once again, I'm sorry I
don't have my code in front of me, so this won't be exact). It was something
along the lines of:
span.thumbnail{ float:left; width:200px; }

Since the default width set by MOSS for the width was 5px, the float left
trick was actually lining the images up ontop of eachother until they were
given a wider width.

Once I get back to my home computer this evening, I'll try to post my
actuall CSS files.

I had the same issued but this post saved me partially!!!

Initially I wrote the placeholderleftactions into a Hidden Panel.

Now I've written it near the primary content of my master and then I applied
the Style span.thumnbail to show various thumbnails in each row.

But this solution have a little/big issue

If I use Firefox it renderize a small zone with a unique thumbnail, the
actual mouse focus image.

Because it's a public web, I want a Full solution (Crossbrowser). Has
someone how to make it???

thanks

I'm having the same Picture Library issue with Custom Master Page. I was wondering you can provide an example of the actuall CSS files. I would like to see where and what we are missing in the code.

Thanks,

and Filmstrip views.

In order to get the additional views in a custom master page, you just need
to move your PlaceHolderLeftActions control to within your primary content
region of the master page.

Hope this helps

\par I agree it is a common problem across both servers. The only way to
\par reproduce the error is to use the exact same master pages that are on our
\par servers. I am not sure if a person would accidentally create the exact same
\par issue when making a master page.
\par
\par Could you just forward the following question to an engineer: What control
\par or piece of code is required in the master page file to allow SharePoint to
\par properly create the thumbnail and filmstrip views for a picture library?
\par
\par Thanks,
\par

I've got a problem like this one too.

I've got the PlaceHolderLeftActionsin my custom MasterPage in the same place
as in the default.master and I can use all the Picture Library views.

However when I choose the Thumbnail view it doesn't show the thumbnails
inline (next to eachother) but as a column (1 image every row). I've checked
the code and it are all <SPAN>'s so the should be lined next to eachother.

When I switch back to the default.master, they are perfectly inline.

I had the exact same issue, and it was due to the Doc Types in the heading of
the master page.

In default.master, the doctype is blank, so IE7 renders the images using
non-strict rendering. However, in the Minimal.Master, it is set to 4.01
loose (if i recall correctly, I don't have my code infront of me at the
moment).

To fix this, I added some styles to the CSS library (once again, I'm sorry I
don't have my code in front of me, so this won't be exact). It was something
along the lines of:
span.thumbnail{ float:left; width:200px; }

Since the default width set by MOSS for the width was 5px, the float left
trick was actually lining the images up ontop of eachother until they were
given a wider width.

Once I get back to my home computer this evening, I'll try to post my
actuall CSS files.
