Master Page Commands

This is an stsadm extension that provides the following two commands:

stsadm -o ShowMasterPage -url <site url>
stsadm -o SetMasterPage -url <site url> -masterpageurl [<page url> | Parent]

(-defaultmasterurl and -custommasterurl are also supported to set individual master pages. See note below.)

The commands distinguish between MasterUrl and CustomMasterUrl, for regular sites/collections and also publishing sites/collections. Inheritance is supported. This is great for troubleshooting and fixing problems with your master pages.

Notes
Windows SharePoint Services defines two types of master pages: the System Master Page and the Site Master Page. Forms and views pages use the System Master Page; publishing pages use the Site Master Page. The CustomMasterUrl attribute tells Windows SharePoint Services which page to use for the Site Master Page. The MasterUrl attribute tells Windows SharePoint Services which page to use for the System Master Page. (from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb687712.aspx)

**Delete the following note before publishing **

This resource page is currently in setup mode and only available to coordinators and developers. Once you have finished setting up your resource page you can publish it to make it available to all MSDN Code Gallery visitors.

To get your Resource Page ready to publish, you should do the following:

Make any changes to the details of your resource page

Here you can enable or disable functions of your resource page. You might want to turn on the Issue Tracker to allow users to provide feedback on your resource, or if you have a resource that does not involve a code sample, you may want to turn off the Releases tab.
Make sure your resource page description is detailed enough to let people search for your resource.

Add your code sample or other resources to the resource page

If you’re uploading code, go to the Releases tab and create a new release to house your code. Creating a release allows you to have the license properly displayed when people download your code, as well as provides a download count.
Edit your Wiki page to attach any resources you may have that are not source code.

If you want to let someone see your resource page before it is published, go to the People tab and add them to your resource page

This will let you add other team members who may be contributing to your resource, or just show it off and get feedback from someone you trust.

Tag your resource page with descriptive tags to make it easier for people to find your resources when browsing the gallery.
Publish your resource page so it becomes visible to everyone!

Additional information on starting a new resource page is available here: Resource Page Startup Guide.
