Edit button on ribbon not working in sharepoint 2010 custom master page

Question

Hey,I have created a custom master page using sharepoint 2010 designer,It was built using minimal.master (not _starter.master) as the base master page.

The master page works fine except for the edit button on the ribbon,An error message "pub is not defined" URI: http://"MysiteName/_layouts/sp.ribbon.debug.js?rev=lc6eCMZP6gL5LnuSYh0S6Q%3D%3D is displayed on the status bar every time i try to edit the page using the edit button on the ribbon.But i am able to edit the page using site actions->Edit page.

Could anyone please suggest a possible solution.Also creating the master page from scratch is ruled out in my case.

Answer 1

Was there a specific reason why you started with minimal.master?  I generally recommend using a starter master page as descibed here:

Minimal.master is so minimal :-)

Answer 2

Hey,

Sorry to for replying so late,I was on a vacation.

The reason that i started with minimal is because i was not aware of the existence of the starter master page.I am a fresher to sharepoint,I am training to become a sharepoint developer.

 

Answer 3

I'd try using the starter master page instead.  It would be a lot more effort to try to make minimal.master do what you want and the starter master page will likely resolve your issue.

Ya i did that and the master page is working fine now.

Thanks

  I found the reason why the edit button was not working,It was beacause the control below was misplaced

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="SPNavigation" runat="server">
                   <SharePoint:DelegateControl runat="server" ControlId="PublishingConsole">
                   </SharePoint:DelegateControl>
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
