I have a problem with my development VM with SDL Tridion 2011 SP1 installed on it.
When I add a new publication, I cannot add an existing Publication as a parent and so I am unable to create a BluePrint hierarchy.
The add Publication button flashes up the dialog but then it disappears.
Each Publication seems to be created in its own BluePrint hierarchy..
Am I missing something really obvious?
You need to create a root structure group before you can use a publication as a parent publication.
I have faced this scenario, but that was happened cause of Chrome browser only, Have you tried this in IE?

I've recently encountered an issue in Sitecore 8.2
After deleting the component in content editor. I tried navigating in page editor and clicked the DELETED component.
Now this is where the issue occurs. The options that are usually displayed in page editor are now gone, and after clicking the other components, they all behave the same way.
If I don't click the component that was deleted, then the other components behave normally. This didn't happen to me when I was using Sitecire 7.1 but now that I've upgraded to 8.2 I've recently encountered this issue.
What are the areas I can check? Is this issue known in Sitecore 8?
My recommendations to authors, regardless of version, is to always remove a component from presentation details before deleting any datasource in the Content Editor.
In fact, unless you made a drastic layout mistake, in most cases you should probably not delete the datasource at all.
As of Sitecore 8 editing now has versioned presentation details (Final Renderings). When removing a component from a page in Sitecore 8, you are editing a new version of the page. That new version will no longer have the component displayed. However, all previous versions will still have the component referenced. If you happened to roll back to a previous version, you would need that component. Unless you are removing from ALL versions (or from the shared layout) you probably shouldn't be removing the datasource.
I'm having an issue with SiteOrigin's pagebuilder plugin. I have made an entire website using this plugin (therefore I'd prefer to keep using it) but all of a sudden I can no longer add styles (such as backgrounds and pictures behind the widget) to the visual editor widget within rows that I am working on. All I see is just a constant loading screen. This only happens when using the visual editor widget, as on SiteOrigin itself I can edit rows fine, I just can't use the visual editor anymore.
Here's what it's supposed to look like:

Here's what mine looks like:

Depending on the row I am using neither may load.
Here is a list of the plugins I am using:
Black Studio
TinyMCE Widget
Contact Form 7
Easy Google Fonts
Lightbox Plus Colorbox
Page Builder by SiteOrigin
SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle
Spacer Title Remover
I have deleted both siteorigin plugins as well as the visual editor plugin on my build and reinstalled them to no avail. Is this a common problem? Does anyone have any idea on how to fix it?
Many Thanks,

EDIT: Per Omer's advice, I have found the error using Chrome's Javascript Debugger.
http://www.website.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?_panelsnonce=3bf1af34d8 503 (Service Temporarily Unavailable)
http://www.website.com/wp-admin/load-scripts.php?c=1&load%5B%5D=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils,quicktags,plupload,editor&ver=4.3.1
Not sure where to go from here... any ideas?
Thanks

Haven't used this plugin before, but it looks like it uses ajax to fetch data, and an error in javascript is avoiding the page to load properly. To check if this is the case, inspect your page with chrome developer tools and on the right side look for javascript errors (console). Once you know which file is responsible for the error then you will have to fix that error and everything will start working fine.
Just noticed that Add Style rule dialogue box which showed up CSS-outline is missing in VS2012 or I am missing some changes made by MS?
This is discussed on the MSDN forum here.
As far as I know that the Style menu has been moved from VS2012,
however, you can get the Build Style feature from the toolbar. Go to
View->Toolbars->Style Sheet.
However, you still can't get the "Add Style Rule" option which is
available in VS2010. If you feel it is a very important feature to
you, you can consider submitting one feature request on the Microsoft
UserVoice site here:

In SDL Tridion 2009 SP1, I am using Page Metadata with Component Links to set some featured media, SEO data, etc for Pages. The problem is when the editor clicks the "open" button to edit this from the Page, the Shared Item is opened at the current Publication in read only mode. What we need is for the Shared Item dialog to be displayed as per opening a Component Presentation so that we can edit the parent item.
Is there a way to enable this functionality?
I believe there is a hot fix for this. I will try to find the number.
UPDATE
It seems I was wrong - The issue I am thinking of was for SDL Tridion 2011 and solved with hotfix CM_2011.0.1.73971 at https://www.sdltridionworld.com/downloads/hotfixes/SDL_Tridion_2011/index.aspx - I guess it is possible the issue came from 2009 SP1.
SDL have now produced a Hotfix for this issue:

i'm currently having a nightmarish moment with Sitecore. Basically my issues are two-fold:
1) the first time i added a standard value item to a template, and added a layout setup to it, i was thrilled, since all my items from that template were showing the layout, however now, certain items are now showing no layout at all. I tried doing presentation->layout, reset several times, but to no avail.
2) i added a new sublayout to the standard value layout to another placeholder, did publish on the template (republish everything, publish subitems), then publish on the standard values item again, just in case (should not be needed), i click on all items from the template, and they show the updated layout with the new sublayout (should be good, right?) however, i browse, both live and with preview to the pages and i am still seeing the old layout without my new sublayout.
- I added a breakpoint in the page_load of the new sublayout but it never hits, the others do
- I tried cleaning the cache on sitecore/admin/cache.aspx, but did not help
- tried recycling the app pool, restarting the web site, spreading black rooster' blood over the machine, nothing seems to helps
i am using sitecore 6.2.0 (rev. 100701), visual studio 2008 SP1, IIS7 in integrated mode
Basically the way to do it is set layout on the Standard Values, which should update all items, that haven't had their layout overwritten on the item or by a branch.
This is the key to the issue. If your items that aren't getting updated with the template standard value layout were created using a branch, check to make sure that branch does not also have layout details associated with it. If the branch has layout details in addition to the template, the two will conflict and cause really odd, frustrating behavior.
I encountered the exact same scenario, but after removing the layout details from my branch the issue went away.
Sounds strange... usually this only happens, when you have a "conflict" between layout set on Standard Values, template/branch.
Basically the way to do it is set layout on the Standard Values, which should update all items, that haven't had their layout overwritten on the item or by a branch.
I really dislike branches, so always try to avoid them (the only real use when they were Masters were for building hierarchies of items).
Could you try to look in the __layouts field (View > Raw values) of the items and see if anything is entered there?
And is it only some items or all items based on that template?
