Occasionally, users click into the media library while in the content tree in the content editor, and it winds up presenting them with only the media library tree afterward, with no option to pop up a level. Why might this be happening? Thank you.
The default setting for all new users in Sitecore is to not show the full tree. This is a common problem I see all the time.
Have each of your users do the following:
Click the Sitecore logo in the content editor (top left corner)
Select the Application Options menu
Select the View tab
Check the box for Show Entire Content Tree
Refresh the browser to reload the content editor and the tree should now be fixed

I'm encountered a weird issue with new Sitecore user accounts. I set their permissions correctly, giving them access to read, write, create, etc the content items/folders they need and the Media Library. When they user logs in and clicks any of the 5 nodes in the tree (or their children) the Sitecore tree/navigation will hide all other nodes.
So if they click an image in the Media Library, the Sitecore tree will focus on the Media Library and not show the Content, System, Templates, etc nodes.
I've tried adding every single role in my company's Sitecore system to a test user and that didn't change a thing, it still happens. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
In the Content Editor, click the Content Editor menu, and then click Application Options. Click View tab and check "Show Entire Content Tree"

Can you please check your URL if it contains ro=/sitecore/media when you click an image media item? Also let please let us know which version you using of Sitecore? Have you made any changes to link manager ?
This sounds to me like a session issue. The Sitecore shell does not like running in a stateless load balanced environment, and the tree in particular manages it's context in session state. If you have more than one server for authoring behind an NLB make sure you have sticky sessions enabled. Otherwise check to make sure your session state setup is properly configured.
I have Site settings item for my site, and i have field there for logo, in my code i am using Sitecore Field to display this field on my pages. and from experience editor it can be editable, but when i change the logo and publish the current item from experience editor (ex: home page), all items related to the page is published except the logo. I have to go to Site settings item from content editor and publish it. any idea how i can publish it from experience editor (Logo or any fields in Site Settings)
Normally, logo is a field on the home item you don't change it every day.
In your case you can publish your logo using edit related item and publish that item.
Please check below picture:
I have created a custom asp.net search module in an Iframe to search Sitecore items,
I have implemented a link on that module to view each Sitecore item in the content editor. Since I call this as a pop up from code behind I use following code. It actually works fine.
string url = string.Format("{0}/sitecore/shell/Applications/Content Editor?id={1}&vs={2}&la={3}&fo={1}&sc_content=master", serverUrl, item.ID.ToString(), item.Version.ToString(), item.Language.ToString());
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "OpenClassifiedItem", string.Format("window.open('{0}','_blank');", url), true);
When I click on the link, Sitecore item opens up in a pop up, and the item get selected from the content tree. I can edit and save, changes gets saved.
But I can not publish the item (or any item) using this pop up. Publishing works fine in the parent window. It only does not work in pop up window. It does not even open up the publishing wizard.
Why is this happening? Seems like Publishing events do not gets fired.

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'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.

Facebook just added the functionality for developers to set a default image. Here is the post in the Developer Blog.
