Blog Web Template

Hi,
I am working on a web template based on a blog. I built a project in visual studio using the web template feature. I am able to deploy the solution and create a site based off the blog template. However, I am wanting modify the default.aspx page. Along with
modifying it, I am wanting to apply a page layout to the default, category, and post.aspx page for a consistent look and feel. I started with one default aspx page on the solution and added the category filter web part in. When I went to deploy, the web part
was only appended to the bottom of the page.
Is it possible to apply page layouts to blog web templates?
What is the best approach to modifying the .aspx pages since these pages are generated?
Thanks,
Joe

I have made a blog about Web templates...please have a look

Hello Everyone,
In my quest to make web templates I could not find a whole lot of relevant info. I feel like I am flying blind. I had asked, in a previous thread, for anybody with knowledge on making templates to share this info. Well, we did not get a whole lot.
So, I have decided to make a public spectacle of my adventure in creating them. Please visit the blog, and please chime in if you have relevant info, or questions (please note though, any questions may not be answered right away. At least not by me-'cause as of right now I have no answers LOL). The more people that participate the faster we will all learn how to do this.
http://lrwebtemplates.blogspot.com/
My goal is to create a pdf of this knowledge once we have ironed out out all the bugs. Thanks for looking. And thanks in advance for any help/participation in the effort.

Thanks for doing this, Paul. Hopefully you'll get some useful stuff to add to it soon. A n additional item is the entry on Goerge Jardine's Lightroom Journal from Andrew Rahn. Nothing new there for us who have worked on trying to figure thsi stuff out and hardly the direction I had hoped things would go, but maybe it will lead to more in the future.

What is difference between Site template and web template

What is difference between Site template and web template

Both are almost same, are you referring to Site Definitions vs web template?, if so, refer to the following post

Create a custom web template using VS 2012 with web features,site features sections applied

hi,
Want to create a custom web template using VS 2012 in my SP 2013 environment. i know "Vesku" has posted a great artice on this [ based on prev. version of SP].
here -
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vesku/archive/2010/10/14/sharepoint-2010-and-web-templates.aspx
i am looking for a code based article which has step by step process which provides how to add the site features, web features and attach the eventreceivers etc etc on sitecollection creation when i apply this template from central admin.
can anyone provide me any links / any source how to create a custom web template with one / two custom features - site features element and web features element , / master page etc ....
I am stuck with this. as part of my reqmnt, i need to create a webtemplate with all the customlistinstances, custompagelayouts, custom masterpages, custom appln pages, custom web parts.
help is appreciated !
Das

The problem is that Web Templates are deployed to a gallery in a site collection and aren't available in Central Admin when creating a new site collection. YOu have to create the site collection without choosing a template and then choose your web
template when you first access the root site in the site collection. Here's an article that discusses that process here:
http://sharepointchick.com/archive/2011/02/10/using-web-templates-to-create-site-collections.aspx
Other than that Vesa's article is still the best one and works essentially the same in 2013 as it does in 2010.

Issue with AjaxControlToolkit for SharePoint 2013 Blog site template.

Hi,
Please find below the details of issue -
History - We are working with SharePoint 2013 and we are using AjaxControlToolkit in our project. Basically this is a migration project from MOSS to SharePoint 2013. So we have migrated code MOSS to SharePoint 2013. Previously in MOSS project, AjaxControlToolkit
was used so after migrating we have also used AjaxControlToolkit with updated version which can work in SharePoint 2013. This is working fine now.
Scenario - There is one web application in SharePoint 2013 farm. Under this web application there are two site collections. One site collection is created with Team site template and second site collection is created with Blog site template.
There are three feature in our wsp that we have created. One feature is at web application scope (which will do web.config modifications and it will add below entry in web.config file through SPWebConfigModification in section 'configuration/system.web/compilation/assemblies'
<add assembly="AjaxcontrolToolkit, Version=4.5.7.725, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=28f01b0e84b6d53e" />
). And there are two site collection features.
Now when we deploy our solution (wsp) to web application in SharePoint 2013 farm and activate the Web.Config modification feature which is at web application level, it has added above mentioned entry in web.config file.
Our application in first site collection is working fine which we are expecting but in the second site collection which is created using out of box Blog site template, 'comment box' and Post button are invisible as shown in below screen shot -
If we remove below entry from web.config file -
<add assembly="AjaxcontrolToolkit, Version=4.5.7.725, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=28f01b0e84b6d53e" />
and refresh the Blog site page then the Comment box and Post button is appearing again as shown in below screen shot -
We also tried with updated versions of AjaxControlToolkit (Version=4.5.7.1005 & 4.5.7.1213) but no success.
I will highly appreciate if you could help me in this.
Thanks for your time.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajendra Gaikwad.

Hi,
As you said, the issue only comes with the Blog site template.
I suggest you take a look at this blog about how to make Ajax Control Toolkit work with SharePoint 2013:

Refreshing drop down list in a web template based on a query view

Refreshing drop down list in a web template based on a query view
I have just developed my first set of portal pages displaying the results of Bex queries and query views in the SAP Netweaver portal. I developed the pages using web application designer. Each web template created with W.A.D is using a query or query view. In one template I have that is using a query view I am using a variable in my Bex query. This variable is of type customer exit, is set to variable is ready for input and calls some ABAP code which returns the current fiscal week number and year. When I run the query or query view in isolation through Bex analyzer the variables gets populated correctly. In my web template I have associated my variable from my query view to a drop down list box. However when I run the Iview created from this template the query results get refreshed but my drop down list box does not, it still shows last weeks week number. How do I get the drop down list box to refresh with the latest result from my customer exit variable?

Collin

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to filter a calendar based a look up column in SharePoint 2013.
Calendar View not support OOTB filters connection. it is disabled for calendar view, you need to change view(not calendar view) so OOTB filters works and get connected to your view.
You can achieve this using combination of jQuery and SharePoint OOB techniques.
For jQuery filters refer to the blog: enter SharePoint List Filters using jQuery
Also you can filter Calendar View Web Part using JQuery and SPServices:

Another way, you can have a look at the SPFilterCalendar :

Bi call document browser from web template wad 7.0

Hi,
Is it possible to customize the document browser dialog when calling via command "OPEN_DIALOG_DLG_DOC_BROWSER" from web template.
The iframe within the browser has a fixed size, so when opening a document the iframe is always too small and does not change the size, also when changing the size of the document browser window.
Is there a possibility opening the documents in a new window instead of opening in the iframe?
From WAD I have not found any possibility solving this. Maybe it's possible to change the web dynpro. Does anybody know the web dynpro / component for the document browser?
Regards,
René

To decide save site as a template, web template or site definition

hi,
I have to create a generic site template which has few tabs in the home page and on click of these links/tabs
in this site template it will navigate to the sub sites created under that[this generic site template shud contain 3 sub sites -
[1 blog, 1 search center sub site, meeting workspace as tabs in the site template’s top navigation] and
a) 2 Doc Libs
b) 2 splists by default present in this site template [ most prob. its a team site template]
What should be the correct approach for creating this site template:
I have thought of implementing using:
a) save site as a template and upload this wsp into the solution gallery. and based on this site template
i will create new subsites. one problem i will be facing is that, mine is a publishing site template not team site template.
b) create a web template having the above subsites and doc libs and splists
c) last option is to create a site definition [ complex ]
which one should i choose, assuming that, there would be future changes from customer side in the
site template.like, adding a new splist, sp doclic or a new custom web part.
in that case, adding a new addtion to the already existing site template will not affect/reflect the already running
sites' content.
only those new sites which is created based on the updated site template would be having the new additions
implemented.
help is highly appreciated.

Hi,
From your description, the most concern you might have is that customers will have the requirements to add other components into their sites and created with them afterwards.
Since SharePoint 2010, it is recommended to take use of something like “a la carte” pattern to manage SharePoint sites. If there are needs to add sites, lists or other components,
we can make them as solution(.wsp) and deploy to our sites. By doing this, we will be more flexible and easier to manage the features and structure of sites.
So you can just create a site template with simple structure and deploy the solutions you want after sites created.
Here are two links about

How to embed a HTML Page in a Web Template and display it

Hi All
Can you please share ideas how I can embed a HTML page in a web template and how I can make it displayed as a popup when a button is pressed.
Also, how do I call a HTML page stored in Portal KM from the press of a button in the web template.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Karen

Using C# or javascript to authenticate the user to AD to read the property directly will be very difficult. Creating a custom user profile property and adding a sync from AD to that property is definitely the easiest way to do what you are describing.
Once its in User Profiles there are lots of samples on how to add it to the page.

Problem applying web template

We've recently upgraded from SharePoint 2010 to 2013. We created a new site under the 2013 environment then created a template from it. When we try to apply that template to a new site we get the following error:
Problem applying web template
It then list the following features as not installed:
List Feature
Module Feature
Web EventReceivers Feature
Property Bag Feature
Here is a screenshot of the error
We haven't noticed any other issue up to this point. Any assistance would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill

How many of those as solutions are from CodePlex? I think the property bag one is
http://featureadmin.codeplex.com
It has a 2013 upgrade on
http://pbs2013.codeplex.com
If its unclear what the other features these are, it may be worth running the feature manager. This will potentially enable you to identify and disable those solutions. The link is

CSS Buttons in Blog Module Template Help

I am using css buttons for my social icons in my blog side bar. I have included the css stylesheet in the overall blog module template as well as well as the button text. The icons appear when I view the blog in list view, however when I try to view an individual post, the icons do not appear, just the button text. The buttons work on all other web pages within BC as well. Thanks for any help

Have you set the paths for your images and css as ... src="/images/" etc?
In BC CSS, JS, images etc need to start with a forward slash to say "read from root".

Info Broadcasting web template without logon

Hi,
i want to display a web template automatically when pc boots up but do not want to have the users log on to BW.
Does anyone have any insights as to how to do this ?
cheers
TrevJ

Hi:
With information broadcasting and publishing you have options. You could broadcast to the KM repository and users of the portal could retrieve from there.
You might consider the email options.
The following blog should be helpful:

Convert SEM-BPS Web Templates to PDF

Hi everyone, one of my clients is requesting to convert all his SEM-BPS 3.5 Web Templates to PDF files dynamically.
I've already make a research on SDN an found several post about converting ABAP objects to PDF format (like <a href="/people/sap.user72/blog/2004/11/10/bsphowto-generate-pdf-output-from-a-bsp).
The thing is that I'm not an ABAP guy, my expertise is on JAVA.
I've just want to know if any of you have already found a successful alternative method to convert these web templates on PDF files using any Java techniques available.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Wulfrano,
we do not have this functionality. However, you can easily get a PDF for any HTML page. Check out for example CutePDF: http://www.cutepdf.com/
