How to Save site as template in SharePoint 2010

hello,
I am little bit confused about how I can save a site as a template in moss 2010!
In SharePoint 2007 it was simple > site actions > save site as template... and done!
but I do not find how to make that in the new SharePoint, I would be really happy if someone could tell me how to do that.
I found some tutorial:
To create a Site Template, browse to the Site you want to create from. Go to Site Actions –> Site Settings –> Save site as template (under the Site Actions heading). Give your template a name, and don't forget to check the "Include Content" box if you want to include library and list content in the template. This will create a new site template in your Solutions Gallery, which you can then use when creating new sites. You can also download directly from the Solutions Gallery to a .WSP file.
but the thing is, I do not have the "save site as template" link! I also checked if I need some special site feature activated, but I have all activated.
thank you in advance

I imagine you are trying to save a publishing site as a template, correct? If so, the save as site template link is not available for publishing sites. This was not supported in MOSS and I imagine isn't in SharePoint 2010. The reason was due to publishing sites having pages and layouts tied to content types that do not move with the template.
If you would like a work around, you can disable the publishing feature (which will then make the save as site template link visible), save the site as a template, then re-enable the publishing feature. You would have to re-enable the publishing feature on each new site built from this template, if desired.
Go to Site Actions > Site Settings > Manage site features under Site Actions. Deactive the SharePoint Server Publishing feature, then go back to the Site Settings page. You should now see the save as site template link. After you save the template, turn back on SharePoint Server Publishing.

I have no "Save Site as Template" in my Sharepoint site settings

Hallo!
I have Sharepoint 2007 installation. Want to make site template. All RTFM I found contains reference to "Save Site as Template" operation, which must be at site settings, at "Look and Feel".
But I cannot find it there!!! I have no such a menu in list settings, and site collection settings too.
And I have no idea how I can workaround it.
Please, help me with solution, or some advise. Maybe, there is some other, command-line method to do it...

How to save site template with subsites..?

Hi,
I am trying to save site as template., and found that subsites are not part of that site template..
Can anybody tell me how can I save site as template with subsites.?...
Thanks,
Parag

As Paul said you can only save a single site at a time. I'm not sure specifically what you are trying to do, but it wouldn't be terribly difficult to write some code which provisions a site with specific subsites. I've seen this type of scenario
handled many times via both manual and automated processes. It all just depends on the requirements.John Ross

How to save a list template and make use of it in another website as webpart ?

How to save a list template and make use of it in another website as webpart ?
1. Save As "List A" as .STP
2. Go to another website, in the document workspace I try to Add webpart -> Browse -> Upload the STP file, but after that the List A webpart still doesn't appear.
Any clue which part went wrong?

Hi,
firstly you need to upload the .STP file to a list solution gallery of the site and then you can add the list (under custom name) to the webpage

Error when using ANY "save site as template Include Content" solution to create a NEW Site Collection

Here is the scenario. (SharePoint 2013)
In Dev/Test/Prod any Site that we Save as Template and include content and then, Download and try to use in a new Site Collection errors out upon use "List does not exist" error.
This occurs with ANY Site, even OOB Team Site template that is immediately "Saved as Template".
We can do this in any other environment (we have several test labs 1 in O365 and 1 in VM that is very OOB)
We can take the site solution from the environments we're having the issue in and use them successfully in our Lab environments (on prem or in the cloud).
We have also tried taking Site solution from lab environment (where we know it works fine) and tried to use these in Dev/Test/Prod and they also error on us.
In the Dev/Test/Prod environments that have the issue if we DO NOT include content, the template works just fine to create a new site collection with the template.
Keep in mind we're talking about environment with no 3rd party apps, no custom code, just 2013 SharePoint with all patches and CU up to June 2013, AND this is ANY template even a vanilla OOB template without anything in it.
You can always save site as template including content, download/upload it to new site collection solutions gallery and activate it without any issue... it's only if you try to use these templates to create a site that the error occurs.
Any thoughts on this?
J

I also experiencing the same issue. I also tried to create a new site-collection using publishing site template, resulting in "list not found" error.
Later I tried just a team-site (with content) -> the same error.
The error appears on two different (post SP1) farms. That's why I tested the site-collection creation on an old (pre SP1) farm: the error doesn't exist. Site-Collections are created properly.
My conclusion is: either SharePoint SP1 or a later CU causing the error.

'save site as template' missing SP2013

Hello!
I would like to save my webpart page as a template. The problem is that i don't see "save site as template" anywhere on this site. On another site i've created the "save site as template" is visible.
What could be the problem? I think i activated the necessary features.
Thanks.

Hi,
Open the site in SharePoint Designer, in the home page, Click on “Site Options”, you will get prompt, In the “Parameters”
Tab, you can find “SaveSiteAsTempalteEnabled”, set it to true.

Using a PDF as a Document Template in SharePoint 2010: "New Document" icon and action

Hi,
I have to create a document template in SharePoint 2010 using a PDF. After much searching I have learned to install Reader on the SharePoint server to bring in AcroPDF.dll
and set the OpenControl for PDFs in DOCICON.xml to be "AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments".
After taking these steps I can check PDFs in and out of SharePoint, and edit PDFs as I would edit an MS Office document.
However two problems remain with creating new documents based upon a PDF document template.
1) The PDF icon does not appear in the New Document dropdown. This makes sense since I never referenced a 32x32 icon in the SharePoint config files. Where would I place the icon image file and which configuration file would I edit to use that image file, and how?
The last three document templates are PDFs.
The second problem I face is that when I click one of the document templates above that is a PDF, nothing happens. I have tried this with Acrobat installed on both the client and the server. It would be preferable to insert a copy of the PDF document used as a template without having to use Acrobat at all.
Is there any resolution to either of these problems?

According to what i found the image needs to be 16x16.
See if this works.
Edit the DOCICON.XML file to include the PDF icon
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML
Edit the DOCICON.XML file (I open it in NotePad, you can also use the built-in XML Editor)
Ignore the section <ByProgID> and scroll down to the <ByExtension> section of the file
Within the <ByExtension> section, insert a <Mapping Key=”pdf” Value=”pdficon_small.gif” /> attribute. The easiest way is to copy an existing one – I usually just copy the line that starts <Mapping Key=”png”… and replace the parameters for Key and Value (see image below for example).
Note: Do not take shortcuts and copy/paste from here. 99% of problems with PDF icons not being displayed are due to errors made in the DOCICON.XML file
Save and close the file

Can anyone help me, how can I create subsite what I can use more times?

Hi Tailorworld
please try the power shell script because you are facing problumn with default content type feature
Run the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell as Administrator.
Run the following command to disable the default content type feature:
Disable-SPFeature –Identity ctypes –url http://SiteCollection
Then enable the content type feature:
Enable-SPFeature –Identity ctypes –url http://SiteCollection
If you look at your content types, they should now all be there. Try saving the subsite as a template again, it should succeed.

How to do a load testing in Sharepoint 2010 site

Hi,
I have never done a performance or load testing on SharePoint 2010 site.
I have a site which has only one custom code written for consolidating documents. I want to check the performance of the site.
How do I go about this ? I want to know how many users can login at a time and view the site without any delay and
check how many people can consolidate documents at a time .
Thanks in Advance.
Pallavi

There's several ways to do it, the most common is to use the SharePoint load testing kit detailed in the second link below. For a more general guide try the first:

How to "Capture Multiple Levels" of a SharePoint 2010 site

Hello! I have an end user I'm trying to support who is trying to update her SharePoint site so she can print the .pdf format. Whenever she tries to "Get Entire Site she gets an authorization failure and it says Error: Nothing Done. We have migrated the site content over from the old intranet page into a SharePoint 2010 site. However, user informed me that she needs to have the ability to print the entire site content and she had been doing this using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. How do I correct the authorization failure message? I'm a SharePoint administrator so please let me know what I need to do on the back end to get this to work. Thanks!

I have seen the same error a number of times. I found that certain domains would not work and give me the error msg. and not allow me to capture a website into PDF format.
http://www.wisconsindot.gov/projects/index.htm generates the 'Authorization Failure' error msg. and will not create a PDF file.
http://www.dot.wi.gov/projects/index.htm and http://www.dot.state.wi.us/projects/index.htm both work fine and create a PDF file as intended.
Do you have an alternative domain you can use for the URL? If so, try that and let me know if it works.

How to Save SQL query template as a text file

Hi,
How to save a SQL query template in my server as a Text file?? I tried using Text saver but it is not getting saved in the path specified.
Sweety

Hi Sweety,
In the transaction editor (for business logic), add your query template to a transaction. Add a Tracer after and link the Query property of the SQL Query action block to the Message property of the transaction. Run the transaction and you will see your Action Block's sql script as the message from the Tracer. You can do the same with the Server property, SD and ED, etc.
Also if you wish to dynamically load the sql script into the query, you can do that at run time by linking a script source to the query property. Useful to have if you have to use a complex expression to dynamically create your script. This sometimes occurs when you have multiple filtering inputs from a webpage and you can reduce the number of tables in a complex join when the fields are left empty. Normally this would be done as a way to improve the performance of the query.
Hopefully this is clear. If not I can probably provide some sample expressions.

Mike

How to import Solarwinds Dashboards into a SharePoint 2010 site?

Hello ,
I am planning to import solarwinds dashboard in a SharePoint 2010 site, so could anyone please tell me how to achieve this.
Thanks and Regards,
Srikanth G.

Hi Srikanth,
Main purpose of the dashboard is to display the real time data and the dashboard should be updated very often. This can be achieved by using RSS feed.
RSS feed gives data in XML format. By Using the below piece of code, you can iterate the XML and fetch the data. Once you receive the data , keep it in datatable and display it in the dashboard webpart as you like.
XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
settings.IgnoreComments = true;
settings.IgnoreWhitespace = true;
settings.CheckCharacters = true;
settings.CloseInput = true;
settings.IgnoreProcessingInstructions = true;
var client = new WebClient();
string URL = <SolarWindsRSSURL>;
try
var feedAsString = client.DownloadString(URL).Replace((char)(0x1F), Convert.ToChar(" "));
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new MemoryStream(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(feedAsString)), settings);
//XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(URL);
SyndicationFeed Feed = SyndicationFeed.Load(reader);
reader.Close();
foreach (SyndicationItem item in Feed.Items)
//Solar Winds RSS data

Drawbacks of customise Sharepoint Alert Email Template in sharepoint 2010

i changed the Pre-defined Alert Template file from this location: %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML\AlertTemplates.xml
How to avoid this new changes to the other sites?
Will it impact all the webapplication?

This is a default template used by all web application and you cannot restrict other web application from using it
Actually you can create your own template and use it for specific web application as per below:

Issue in Custom Blog site definition based on SharePoint 2010 blog site definition after migrating the sites to SharePoint 2013 and site collection upgrade

I have created a custom blog site definition using SharePoint 2010 blog site definition with Configuration ID 31 in onet.xml (new value). This was working fine for SharePoint 2010.
We created new SharePoint 2013 farm and deployed the all Custom solutions in
14/15 folders. After migrating the sites to SharePoint 2013 using Content DB approach, site created previously using my custom definition are working fine.
But after running site collection upgrade these sites stop working. When I post a comment then comments not getting listed on post detail page. However comments are getting added to Comments List but
PostTitle column of Comment is not getting populated.
Also, when we create a new site in SharePoint 2013 using my custom blog template then that is also not getting provisioned. default.aspx and look-up between post and comment list are not working.
If any one has faced such issue then please share your findings and any solution to fix this.
Thanks in Advance :)

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that the blog based on custom blog site definition didn’t work correctly after migrating custom blog site definition to SharePoint 2013.
If you customized the Onet.xml file in a previous version's site definition, you should modify some sections in the file to work in the current version, like <BaseTypes> and <ListTemplate> etc. More information, please refer
to the link below:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa543837(v=office.14).aspx
For that the PostTitle column of Comment is not getting populated, please try to modify the view, then compare the result.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
