RE: [OzMOSS] RE: Site Templates!!!
You still can save them as templates via the method below, but I recall the reason that the admin link for saving a template was disabled for publishing pages was something to do with a dependency on site columns or site content types that do not come across with a template. Sorry can't recall the exact reason, but it was something alone those lines.

Hi, I'm not sure if I've done it correctly but I've done it! This is what I've done. . I created a publishing portal. . Then I created a new page (Home.aspx) with a customised page layout (CustomPageLayout.aspx). These custom page layout has only the title and page content. . Change the default page to Home.aspx . Then save the site as template via ./_layouts/savetmpl.aspx as as Save as Template option is not existing in Site Settings. . Then I create a site using the site template above Your newly created site will have Home.aspx as the welcome page. If you want to have default.aspx as the welcome page, you have to create a new site definition. My 2 cents.

RE: [OzMOSS] RE: Site Templates!!!
Thanks Maria After creating the site, I created a new page from the page layout. Deleted the default.aspx page and renamed the new page to default.aspx. This worked for me thou some bits are missing. I can add the missing bits as long as I am not getting the error message. regards Anand From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Maria Carriedo Sent: Tuesday, 26 August 2008 9:44 AM To: listserver@ozMOSS.com Subject: [OzMOSS] RE: Site Templates!!!

Hi Guys I am trying to save Publishing Portal and Collaboration Portal sites as templates.

RE: [OzMOSS] RE: Site Templates!!!
Save Site as Template is not supported for Publishing sites : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925189/en-us The supported method to create templates for publishing sites is to use site definition templates. http://blogs.technet.com/stefan_gossner/archive/2007/09/19/save-site-as-template-option-and-the-publishing-feature.aspx Unfortunatelly the answer for this question is: saving publishing enabled sites as a template is not supported and it does not work. You cannot use this option to create new sites. Instead you should create site definitions (..\web server extensions\12\template\SiteTemplates) and provision the new site based on such a site definition. Update April 24th, 2008: The same statement applies if you save the template from SharePoint Designer. Also not supported.
