Changing a site template

Is there any way to change a sites template w/out
rebuilding the entire site?
I'd love to use something different but can't seem to
find a way to import my old content w/out redoing
everything. Copying and pasting is ok on some of the
pages but nearly impossible for blogging.
No it isn't, I've done it twice and it's a quick as any other page. I had no problems. Varkgirl is correct and I trust her judgement.

Changing the site template

After publishing my site, I now would like to change the template of my iWeb site. Is this possible - I don't see any options to permit this? Thanks anyone.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There are no provisions for modifying the template itself. However, you can customize templates from within iWeb by deleting object not wanted and adding objects and images.
What template are you using? There are only 3 templates that let you customize the template (from within iWeb) completely, White, Black and Formal. The other templates use image files within the template package that can't be removed by the user in iWeb. One example is the Darkroom template. It has a file that it uses for the light area in the center of the page and that can't be removed, enlarged or otherwise changed.

Customization of Site Templates in Webcenter Spaces

Hi all,
I was trying out to change the site template for a group space.I had two options Default and Maximized .I need help me in customizing the site templates in Webcenter spaces other than the defaults.
Its urgent.

{forum:id=1188} is the place for your question

Site template changes not reflecting in new the already created site

I couldn’t figure it out myself how to use site template to modify the existing site created from the site template
So here is the simplified scenario...
I created a Site on Dev. SharePoint 2010, added a couple of SPD workflows, customized lists and views etc. Presented the functionality to the Stakeholders and it was accepted.
Now the Site will be used as a template and many instances of this Site will be created using these settings (template), so I just went ahead and saved the Site as a template.
Deployed the Site template to the live environment by deploying the .wsp file, and activated it on the desired site collection.
THE PROBLEM I'M FACING IS IN THE CHANGE MANAGEMENT: i.e. now the sites are being created and at some point in the future there is a suggestion to add functionality or a bug to be fixed.
MY APPROACH: I have created a sample instance of the template. I made all the changes to that template and re-saved it. This way the new sites which are created from that template do have all the fixes and enhancements.
THE PROBLEM: How can I update the existing sites that have already been created, to apply the same fixes and enhancements?
Thanks in advance

You could look at the Stack Exchange thread that seems to exactly match this question (from
here).
Think about using the features framework, as the closest you can get to updating the template is to update all the features that the said template is based on.
Beyond that, I can't think of anything that might achieve what you're after.

Data type change made to schema.xml of comments list which is part of blog site template is not reflecting in the existing site but working fine when new site is created.

Hi,
I have created a blog site with the available site template few days back. Now we have the requirement of having the attachments in the body of the comments section.
So, I updated the schema.xml of the comments list available under ../templates/blog/lists/comments/schema.xml to have rich text for the Body field.
With this change, I created a new site and it was working fine. Change is reflected in the new blog site.
However, this particular change is not reflected in the existing blog site. Any changes made to the schema.xml is not effecting the old blog site.
Can anyone suggest what can be done for the change to be reflected in the old blog site?
Thanks in Advance,
Regards, Keerthi Suryadevara

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add attachments in the body of the comments section.
You can add the the Code inside the Default list pages. For more information, you can refer to:
Enable Attachment in SharePoint Blog post list and display the list Attachments
In addition, you can add an enhanced rich text field to the comment list and remove the body field. Then you can insert files into comments, too.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

Can enable a site template for subsites via editing webtemp.xml but how do I change in my solution files?

I have a template wsp that I deploy then create a new top level site. The template is available perfectly.
I then try to create a subsite and the template isn't available. So I went to .../14/TEMPLATE/1033/XML/WEBTEMP.XML
I added in my template...
<Template Name="MYTEMPLATE" SetupPath="SiteTemplates\MyTemplate" ID="202">
<Configuration ID="0" Title="My Site Title" Hidden="FALSE" ImageUrl="" Description="A site I created."></Configuration>
</Template>
Now after an IIS reset the templates show under the "Custom" tab perfectly.
BUT the question is what file do I change in my actual solution files before I package everything up? What would add this to the webtemp.xml automatically for me when my solution is deployed?
Thanks,

The terminology is confusing, but what you are actually adding is a "Site Definition". Site Templates are .wsp files that can be saved as a snapshot of an existing site for re-use. These .wsp files are stored in the site template gallery of a
site collection. There are also Web Templates that are similar to Site Definitions since they use an ONET.XML file, but they are activated using a Feature. Together Site Definitions, Site Templates, and Web Templates are known as Site Templates
in the User Interface. But each one is deployed and activated differently. Site Devfinitions are normally added to the environment by using Module features to deploy the site definition in its own subdirectory where the other site definitions are
stored. A custom webtemp file is also deployed instead of editing the existing file. SahrePoint will pick up any file that is stored in that location that starts with webtemp and ends in .xml. So you can deploy a new webtemp file called Webtemp_custom.xml.
If you are actually deploying a site template then you just upload it to the site template gallery of the site collection. If you still aren't seeing it in the custom tab then its probably because the root site has restricted the available site templates
for creating subsites. This is common in Publishing sites, but can be done in any site. In Publishing sites there is a link on the site settings page that you can use to select what site templates are available to create sub sites. In non-publishing
sites it requires powershell

Efficient way to change site template

hi all,
IHAC, the customer want to build a home page with big difference from wc default site templates, I know the solution is to use site template, with this solution, even I disabled 8 other components in extendwebcenterspaces, build and deploy still take me about 10 minutes, this is a long time to wait, I am using a 2c4G notebook.
Is there other way to do this?
Best regards

This is the only way to create templates...
We have the same issue with the extendwebcenterspaces and are struggling with the deployment ourself. We have to reboot our server after a deployment of the extendwebcenterspaces project.
We are working together with oracle on a project for our customer and we are looking fo a solution. I am planning on installing jrockit realtime and jrockit mission in order to track the memoryleaks when deploying. When we have the results i will send them to oracle and create an SR in order to find a better way to deploy webcenter spaces projects...

May Release: New partner support, Infrastructure updates, Site templates and bug fixes

Link: http://www.businesscatalyst.com/_blog/BC_Blog/post/May-release-New-partner-support-Infrast ructure-updates-Site-templates-and_bug-fixes/
We are announcing a new Business Catalyst release, scheduled to go live on Thursday, May 3rd. With this release, we are continuing our investments in system performance and stability by increasing our web servers capacity, enabling HTTP acceleration to provide faster site loading times, and improving the site creation speed by using pre-generated sites.
On the product side, we have completely revamped our partner support workflow taking advantage of the Adobe support infrastructure and tools, enhanced the site templates workflow for partners, and included lots of bug fixes and improvements. Read through the following sections to get detailed information about this release:
Partner support
Infrastructure updates
Features and enhancements
Issues fixed by this release
What's next
You can jump to the corresponding section by clicking the above links.
Partner support
Updated Help & Support partner experience
Following Adobe ID support, we have upgraded BC support tools (cases, chat, documentation) with standard Adobe tools. As a partner, you can now benefit from the same support tools as the rest of Adobe Creative Suite, and can track your support cases with Adobe BC, Dreamweaver, Muse or Photoshop in a single place.
Partners with more than 100 paid sites will get 2nd level chat support, which includes a higher priority, by default. If you have more than 100 paid sites, but spread across different Partner Portals, please ask support to enable 2nd level chat for you.
Support experience for your Small Business owner clients can now be owned by partners (see below).
Custom Help & Support URL for your clients
As a partner, you are probably already offering various additional services to your clients besides building & maintaining their BC site. Support, tailored specifically to your client needs, is usually one of these value-added services. We are now enabling you to take your Support service to the next level. In Partner Portal Settings, you have the option to set a custom URL for what will open when your client clicks on Help & Support inside Admin Console:
If you have multiple partner accounts, for different verticals, you can specify a Support URL for each of these.
The default Support experience provided by BC for your clients will be updated in a few releases to be similar to the partner support experience. This includes BC-branded support cases and documentation. If you'd like to keep a white-label experience for your customers, please set your own Help & Support URL in Partner Portal.
For more details please read the Improved support workflow and new forums announcement on our blog.
Infrastructure updates
Between our April release and the following infrastructure updates have been enabled
Limited trial sites for free partners – starting with our May release, the number of trial sites a Free Partner can have will be limited to 100. Once the limit is reached, Free Partners that need to create a new trial site have the options to upgrade to a higher partner plan, upgrade some of the trial sites to paid or delete unused/expired trials.
Automatic trial expiry extension - with this release, trial site expiry date will be automatically extended with 30 days every time an admin user logs in the system through the admin interface or through FTP.
Installed additional hardware - we have installed additional web servers on all our data centers, that translate into an increase of the existing capacity with over 70%.
Updated DNS infrastructure - we have improved the DNS resolution for email delivery so that we can increase the rate at which we're sending the system operational emails
HTTP acceleration – all sites static assets are served from a new cache engine (images, CSS and JavaScript files, together with improved headers that should allow the browser to cache them better for a browsing session). This update has been turned on along with our April release, and has made all the BC sites load faster on first and on subsequent loads.
Accelerated site/partner creation – we've changed the way new sites are created for faster speed, pre-creating them and reusing pre-created sites when needed, and have also improved the creation process for new partners, minimizing the impact of new CCM customers on the existing datacenters.
Adobe ID for partners - in order to support an integrating experience between the various Adobe tools a partner may use (Dreamweaver, Muse, Support forums) we have added Adobe ID support for Business Catalyst partner accounts. Starting April 19, partners are asked to merge their current Business Catalyst account with their Adobe ID accounts. For more details about the transition process and FAQ please read the Introducing Adobe ID blog post.
Updated Terms of Use - Along with several other changes in our processes in the past few months, we also revamped our Terms of Use and the signature process by requesting every admin user to sign a TOU. We have completed the rollout for partners, and we might be pushing an updated partner Terms of Use version within the following weeks. For more details and questions about this change, read the New Terms of Use for Business Catalyst blog post.
Features and enhancements
Site templates
To support the increasing number of partners building, sharing or reusing templates to create new sites, we're extending our site templates support from our partner portal with a new template type and improved management support. The update is going to enable partners to mark sites as templates and choose between making them available in Online Business Builder and keeping them private in their partner portal. A template site will not expire and has the same limits as any other trial site.
Based on your partner level, you can create private or public templates using the Site Details screen or the Tools>My Site Template section from your Partner Portal. Standard partners can only create private templates, while Free Partners can only view site templates that have been transferred to their accounts by other partners.
The number of templates a partner will have will be limited and will vary based on partner level: free partners can store up to 5 templates in their partner portal, standard partners have up to 100 site templates while Premium Partners might have up to 200 templates. Paid sites marked as templates are not counted against these limits.
Business Catalyst Partner fixes
While we are really focused on making the Business Catalyst integration into Creative Cloud a smashing success, we are slowly resuming our efforts to deliver fixes that have been requested by our partners. This release includes the following partner fixes:
Improved product custom fields - we have increased the maximum number of characters for product custom fields to 1024 (previous limit was 256); this gives partners and customers additional space to use when working with products
Improved Secure Zone subscribers list - we have added the customer email address in the Secure Zone Subscribers list to enable partners better filter and manage customers
Better experience when exporting data - to prevent customer confusion when exporting data from Mac computers, we have removed the export to excel option and exporting in CSV format by default.
Social plugins integration updates
Starting with our May release, we are updating the social plugins support to require users to get the plugin code from the third party provider and saving into his Business Catalyst website. The module tags and configuration will remain unchanged, but will render an empty tag until the partner or site owner will update the module template to include the corresponding module code snippet from the third party platform provider.
For more information about how you can enable the Social Plugins on a Business Catalyst websites, read the Social Media: Integrating Facebook and Twitter knowledge base article.
Other changes
Updated weekly emails - Starting with our May release, the information in the site weekly emails has been filtered based on the site's plan. For example, webBasics site reports will no longer include the sales report.
Localization - we improved and increased the coverage of the admin interface translations into German, French and Japanese
Site Settings -> Ignored IP addresses has been relocated under Reports -> Visitors -> More.
BC-Dreamweaver integration performance improvements
Development Dashboard has been removed, as it didn't provide a clear useful, ongoing benefit. The information present in the development dashboard has been integrated into our new Help & Support section.
Payment gateway settings - for more privacy and data protection, we have updated the Payment Gateway configuration screens to obfuscate the sensitive login information. Fields that have been obfuscated are now requiring confirmation.
Report abuse badge on trial sites - for compliance reasons, a "Report Abuse" link has been added to the front-end of all trial sites of free partners that don't have any paid sites. When they click the Report Abuse link, site visitors are redirected to a form submission page on businesscatalyst.com site.

What's next
The first item on the what's next list might not be news for many of you, but it's definitely one of the most important milestones this year. The Creative Cloud launch is just around the corner, and Business Catalyst is playing an important role in that, as the publishing platform for Adobe® Muse and Dreamweaver. This launch will capture all our attention within the next weeks as we want it to be our best ever.
We'll start our next development cycle on May 15th, while the next Business Catalyst release is going to be pushed live in mid June. That being said, the following items are already on our launch plan for the next release and a few more will join the list. Please expect an update on our 2012 plans around mid May.
HTTP throttling – all page load and API calls to BC will be protected against attacks, this might trigger problems for API heavy sites. We are looking into enabling this update along with our June release, and will help make sure that a reasonable number of requests will be accepted from the same computer per minute.
Automatic site deletion - Starting with the June release, we are going to start automatically delete expired trial sites and canceled sites. Customers will be notified twice before we are going to proceed with deleting the sites.
Thank you,
Cristinel Anastasoaie
Adobe Business Catalyst Product Manager

In reference to this change in the Custom Reports... Better experience when exporting data - to prevent customer confusion when exporting data from Mac computers, we have removed the export to excel option and exporting in CSV format by default.
What is the customer confusion we are trying to stop here? I've got even more confused customers at the moment because all of a sudden they can't find the export to excel option but know it exists if they log in on a PC?

PS2013 / SQL 2012 - A SQL Reporting Services Report with more than one filter connection looses connection in a site template

Hi,
I created in a sub site not linked to a project to become a site template. I inserted two SQL Reporting Services reports web part that require the same two dates for an interval and the name of the project in a page of the site and connected
to three filters, two for date and one for text and I got the page below (only one of the reports shown).
Look that all parameters needed by the report are linked to the filters above the report.
Then I save the site as template with all contentes and assign it to the EPTs and create a new project or replace the site of existing project site. What I got is:
Look that the filter connection of the dates are lost (in both reports) and the order of the filters changed.
I deleted and retried to connect the filters in diferent order and language, but I did not get any success.
The BI Central Data Connectivity resource is activated in the template site and in the site collection.
Is there any solution for this?

Hi,
Correction: this happens only with "Date Filter" web part!

Is this possible in BC to choose site templates from given one ?

Basically, what i want to acheive is to provide an option in BC cms for choosing template and the selected template will reflect the appereance of complete site.

I have more than one template for my site. I just want an option (if possible) in Catalyst cms where I can change the template of my site from the listed one. Suppose I have a dropdownlist that displays the site templates and the template that I select changes the template of site, sets css, js files etc accordingly.
Or
Do I have to change the template of each page and webApp manually ?
I hope i made you clear !

Changes to multiple Templates

I know how to apply changes to child pages of "a" Template
after updating that Template. However, when I make changes to
multiple Templates of my site, is there a way to apply those
changes to child pages of all those (updated/modified) Templates at
once (using a single command or something) without having to work
on one Template at a time?
Here is a specific situation: We have nearly 50 Templates in
our Web site. We have to update a domain name of a link in all
these Templates. That is -- from "www.OLDname.com" to
"www.NEWname.com". It's easy to do a find and replace to make the
above change in all these Templates. (Note: I am referring to only
the changes in the NON-editable region of these Templates). Once
the above change is done, how do I apply those changes to all the
child pages of these Templates in a few easy steps ;-) Is opening
each Template and doing "Modify > Templates > Update
Pages..." the only way to achieve this?

Alan, thanks for the response.
I have one more question. When I run this command
"dw menu-->Modify-->Templates-->Update Pages", I
get lots of errors like the ones below. I had to press numerous
"OK" buttons to clear them away. Since they were so many, I usually
kill the process to get rid of them.
Error Message - Sample #1
Error accessing file "C:\sth\Templates\general.dwt:" file not
found (error code 2)
Error Message - Sample #2
There is an error at line 7 of
"C:\sth\sth\Templates\some.dwt": Unbalanced body tag.
Error Message - Sample #3
There is an error at line 218, column 8 (absolute position
28866) of "C:\sth\sth\sth.htm": Duplicate editable regions of name
"Document body".
I don't get this problem when I work on the Templates one by
one. Is there a way to suppress these errors, or at least cancel
the operation after this command has been issued ("dw
menu-->Modify-->Templates-->Update Pages").
Thanks again for your help.

SSRS Report Viewer Web Part - Saving it as a Project Site Template

Hi all,
I ended up creating a custom filter web part that was passing the PUID to SSRS report viewer web part in a project site.
Works perfectly fine until you save the site as a project site template. I attached the site template to an EPT and creating a new project. The project site created fine, but the connections between the custom filter web part and SSRS Report viewer web part
is broken!
Paul gave me this web part to start with, but this doesn't work in SharePoint Integrate Mode:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/projectserver/Report-Viewer-webpart-439e0062
And SharePoint Integrated Mode is what we are pushing our clients towards.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
SJ

Looks like I forgot to respond to this...apologies for the delay.
For the client that I asked this question, I ended up writing it programmatically and it works.
But I would prefer using products now...rather than Band-Aid approach - I guess my role is shifting.
Luckily I was introduced to a SharePoint and Project Server developer here in London and he has been developing products for SharePoint and Project Server since version 2007! I spoke about my dilemma and he already had a product for this for SP
integrated mode! I have now started to add this product to all my the PS2010, PS2013 implementations. Great thing is it doesn't cost much at all and he provides support for it as part of subscription. I guess I twisted his arm a little bit - not physically!
So far I have used the product at two sites and applied CUs over it - no issues at all. This is a proper packaged product and can't recommend it high enough. Yes, you will have to let the client know about this third party tool, but we manage the relationship
on behalf of the client - just like when we buy Nintex, IPMO or Fluentpro products.
If anyone is struggling with SSRS web part in Project Sites and doesn't have the time to write codes as they have multiple PS implementations on the go then you can contact
[email protected]
I must say his marketing isn't that great, but since he is a freelancer he only works and sells his products to people within his network, I think he maybe changing that soon! Hopefully :-)

Remove reference to Publishing Feature from site template

Hi all, I have a custom site collection which I package as a wsp to deploy as a custom solution template to multiple sites.
Accidentally, years ago I've activated Publishing Features in my site template and then disabled them. I still work and create new templates from my site without any problems (ShP 2010).
Now, I've installed SharePoint 2013 and updated my site template to 2013. Then, I've created the new wsp but when I try to apply my template to a new site collection I receive an error message: "Failed to instantiate file "AlternateMediaPlayer.xaml"
from module "Style LibraryMedia Player_Features\PublishingResources": Source path "Features\PublishingResources\AlternateMediaPlayer.xaml" not found."
How could I remove all the reference to features belonging to Publishing Features?

Hi Elena_B,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to remove reference to publishing feature from site template in SharePoint 2013.
You can do as the followings:
extract all files from WSP file by (a tool or) changing the wsp file to cab file and then extract all files to a working folder.
edit the Onet.xml file to remove the unsupported features and save the changes.
create a ddf file for makecab.exe to repack the wsp
run cmd: makecab /f my.ddf to generate the new WSP file
More information, please refer to the link:

Project Server 2010 Site Template Update

Hi,
I have a Project Server 2010 environment in which there are several site templates created and there are about 500 projects.
Now, I have the requirement of changing some templates (add a list, some fields in a existing Risks and Issues lists, etc.)
How Can I update current template?
If I update current template, Will the sites created be updated with the new lists and fields? Or Should I do these additions by hand?
Thanks!

Hi,
Another related question,
We have created custom Web Template by saving as a template one site. Later we have created 20 sites using that Web Template. And now we want to update this template to "Site Template v2". We create other Web Template and now we have two
"Site Template v1" and "Site Template v2". Should we remove "Site Template v1" from Solutions Gallery? Or it is neccesary while exists sites created with version 1?
