All the options under ribbon tabs are greyed out in SharePoint 2013. I am only the site administrator and site owner and permissions has been set to full control but still all the options are disabled under ribbon tabs i.e in format text and insert ribbon tab.
Even I selected the web part and checked but still the options are greyed out. I have to modify content editor web part but I am not able to do that.
Are you sure that no one else has the page already checked out / editing?
You can choose Site Actions > Show ribbon.
If another user has it checked out, sometimes this can happen - looks like your permissions have been lost, when in fact the page is being edited by another user.

Version- Sitecore 8.1 update 1.
I am trying to tag a media item for Page Download Event.
When I try follow the steps
My Attributes dialog shows no events to select from.
Events Listed
Attributes Dialog
Can Anybody help me here?
My first idea was that the analytics were disabled...but then you shouldn't even be able to open the Attributes popup.
Are you logged in as an Sitecore Administrator or another user? Perhaps the user role is not able to set any goals/events.
Have you checked the error log? Perhaps it can help with narrowing down this problem.
This is a question on roles and rights security restriction on the General Link field type.
The general link field displays an Edit Link button on Page Editor and on click of the button, a general link form opens up with options to set up Internal Link, Media Link, External Link, Anchor, Mail and Javascript.
I want to hide/disable the Anchor and Javascript links for certain roles via Security Restrictions using Security Editor in Sitecore.
If I go to the Core Database and deny Read access to item at path:
sitecore/system/Field types/LinkTypes/General Link/Menu/Anchor
it hides the Anchor item for General Link field in Content Editor but not in Page Editor.
Is there a way to do hide it in Page Editor mode?
Unfortunately, in Sitecore 7 (not sure about 8), these options are hard-coded into the dialog and do not pull from Sitecore items, so you will not be able to apply security as you normally would. As I see it, that leaves you with two options:
Override the dialog's default behavior by pointing to your own implementation.
Disable the options for all users by commenting out the Anchor and JavaScript sections of the following file. Place the modified file in the \sitecore\shell\Override folder.
<webroot>\sitecore\shell\Applications\Dialogs\GeneralLink\GeneralLink.xml
Hi I have got a few lists with Lookup fields from Source lists. I wish to have a Related lists (Webpart connections from 2007 days) where I select item from master and then child records are displayed. Although I have followed the instructions on the below article, the "relationship" bit is not working. The Related records from the child lists are not filtering rather showing all records from the child table.

I also encountered this issue, and the solution is pretty simple, but not very obvious. When creating a new page, you MUST be sure that you create a page of type Web Part Page. When you use the default "Add a Page" option from the site settings menu, the default page type is a Wiki page, not a web part page. Even though you can add web parts to a Wiki page, the Wiki page does not include the functionality for implementing web part connections.
Once I created a page using one of the Web Part Page types, I was able to use web part connections.
have you tried this:
Browse to the affected page, and then open the page in edit mode.
Click the drop-down arrow in the upper-right corner of the Web Part for the tasks list, and then click Edit Web Part.
On the right side of the page in the Web Part properties controls, click the plus sign (+) on the Miscellaneous section, click to select the Server Render checkbox, and then click OK.
Save the changes to the page.

I have a content editor that, when she logs into the Sitecore content editor and clicks an item, nothing happens. The item doesn't load for editing. If she clicks off of the item to another item she's prompted "do you want to save the changes to the item"?
Logging in with another account resolves the issue. Logging in with her account on another PC resolves the issue.
Has anyone ever seen this before? Sitecore is non-functional on this user's PC.
When you say that the item doesn't load for editing, you need to be more specific? Obviously, if she's clicking off the item and getting prompted to save, then the user is able to edit the item. What is it that she can't do?
Also, it depends on what role you have the user set to use, but depending on how you have your site configured, a user can simply click the item, see the fields and enter content in them. There may not be any "edit" queue. Is this not the case? If not, then there's more details that are needed to properly answer your question.
It sounds like a browser / caching issue. I usually try the following.
1. If IE 9 the I try and open a session in private and try again
2. Clear all browser history
3. If that doesn't work try with another browser.
4. If other browser fixes the issue then try to reset the original browser's settings to the defaults.
Last check if you are using a proxy server and try without. This is a long shot.
What version of Sitecore is being used? Older versions using IE9 require compatibility mode to be enabled (this was resolved in later updates of 6.5)
I find the Content Editor most stable in Firefox and IE9 compatibility mode. Chrome has a few finicky issues but generally works.
I'm maintaining a Facebook iFrame application, and my client is worried about the transition to Timeline. Basically, they want their home page to have a big icon next to 'Photos' that takes the user to the page hosting the iFrame. The tricky thing is that users can "pledge" within the app, and they want the link icon to look different depending on whether or not the user has pledged within the app. Is there any way to do this?
Assuming the answer is no, is there a way to add a second icon for the iFrame app so that I can customize one to look different? Or would I need to set up another page hosting the same iFrame?
Thanks!
Go to Fan Page Timeline, click the arrow on the half box to the right of photos, likes etc (assuming you haven't changed the order of the apps), hover over the icon you want to change and click on the pencil icon that shows up in the top right corner. Then click "edit settings". Here you can change the tab image or give the tab a custom name.
alternatively you can enter the edit page settings, go to the apps section, edit the app, and you can change the icon from there.
in either case, you will need to be a page admin to complete the task.
Update on 4/12
Facebook just added the functionality for developers to set a default image. Here is the post in the Developer Blog.
