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...

Not able to save a sharepoint 2010 site as template

I tried various things yesterday but no luck Murugesan :(
To explain about where it starts,
1. Saved a SP site as template from a sharepoint web application
2. Uploaded the solution to another sp web application
3. Create a new site using that template
4. Made some changes in the newly created site
5. Tried to save that site as template
This is the point where I got the error.
After doing some searches yesterday evening, I deleted the template that was restored in point 2.
Today I tried to save that site as template it saved successfully :)
Only clue that is there in the log is
02/28/2013 14:21:36.90 w3wp.exe (0x2AA0)                       0x1ADC SharePoint Foundation

'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.

Auto-duplicate OR NOT save as a Template

Hello all,
How can I open a Template in Pages and have it auto-duplicate itself, OR even better, NOT have it save as a Template UNTIL I give that command and overwrite the current Template.

Hi riqiv,
Save will save your work as a Pages document with a name of your choosing (I chose the name Fred) in a location of your choosing. It is possible to save a .Pages document in My Templates Folder (not recommended):
And here it is:
To find My Templates, Finder > Go Menu > hold down option key and Library will appear. Navigate:
iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates
In Pages, when I now go to Menu > File > New from Template Chooser > My Templates, Fred is there:
Which I don't really want!
Peter could be right. You may have a .Pages document in your Templates library.
Note: Save As Template with the same name as a former template will replace with the new version in your library.
Now to clean up my library after this demonstration...
Regards,
Ian.

No "Document Library" in a Project's SharePoint Site Mobile View

The mobile view for certain sites -- all from the same SharePoint site template -- do not have the Documents library in mobile view, nor is it an option to add when editing the mobile view. Oddly, the document library is available in the mobile view of the
template.
Has anyone seen this happen before?

I managed to sort this on my own and here's what I learned in case someone else comes across this issue in the future.
The library was not corrupted, but it was buggy. The lack of any available views caused the paths to go weird as described above. The allitems view was not deleted, however, but it was marked as hidden and had the name removed from it. I was able to recover
this by modifying the properties on the allitems view in the SPList.views collection. Not sure how it happened, but it was an easy fix.
The other issue was me being a newbie with SP. The user had uploaded new files for the list using explorer which appears to initially set them to be checked out. Since they never had a checked in version, they don't appear in any view, in search, etc. but
they are included in the SPList.ItemCount property. This resulted in a seemingly "empty" document library with files in it.
I hope this helps the next person to come along with a similar problem. Serious pain to figure this out, but I got a lot of good experience with the SP PowerShell environment, so it had a bit of a silver lining.

Adding Multiple files to many Sharepoint Sites based on the Sites Code (Splitting the data using a code)

Hi,
I'm pretty new to Sharepoint and wanted to ask a question to see if it can actually do what we need it to do.
We would have a top Site within a collection and under this we would have 400 sites for different sections of the business (External) Lots of teams create documents for all these sites and use the Code of the site in each document so we know what business
site its going to. For example 67890_BusinessReportMay.docx We know this document should be heading to site 67890
We have lots of services sending data to these 400 business sites. If we were to do them manually it would take most of our time to go to each site and upload the documents, even if we could do all the sites documents in 1 multiple upload. We still have
to go to each site to do it
Is there an easy answer to this? At present I have folders to match each of the 400 Sharepoint Sites and I use an Integration Services package to move all the documents into these 400 Matching folders. I do this using the Code at the start of each file name.
If it doesn't have a code its put into an error folder and reported back on.
Then I want something to automatically go through each of these folders and load them into the Sharepoint Sites document libraries.
OR
Say you have 600 files all going to the 500 sites on Sharepoint in one folder. The File contains meta data regarding the Sites Code. Using this you can split the files and automatically pull them across to the Sharepoint Sites without having to go
into each Sharepoint Site?
I'm thinking that you cant do this and I'm hoping I'm wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Debbie

Hi Debbie,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to move the documents to different sites based on the code in the name of the files.
I recommend to create workflow and set the workflow to start when an item is created to achieve this goal.
As there is no built-in action which can move the documents cross site, we need to use the custom activity 'Copy List Item Extended' which need to be downloaded from
http://spdactivities.codeplex.com/.
Please per the steps in the link below to deploy the custom activity to SharePoint:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/82609160-152f-461a-9a19-0e996f5a309b/sharepoint-2010-archiving-the-files-from-one-document-library-to-another-document-library-in
After that, we can create a workflow to meet the need.
Here is the detailed steps to create the workflow:
Create a column in single line of text type(called NO for example) in the library where the documents are uploaded, and input value manually in the column to store the code when uploading the documents. (We can also use workflow to extract the code from
the name of the documents if the codes are always 5 numbers.)
Create a workflow associated with the library and set the workflow to start when an item is created.
Select If current item field equals value, change the settings to be If Current Item: NO equals 67890.
Select Copy List Item Extended, change the settings to be Copy item in Current Item to list at site 67890 URL.
Select Delete Item, change the settings to be Delete Item in Current Item.
Create other conditions from step 3 to step 5 to copy the documents to different sites and delete current documents.
Best regards.
Thanks

HTTPS SharePoint site with HTTPS Provider hosted app - The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure

We have SharePoint 2013 site configured with SSL and we have developed a provider hosted app which interacts with SharePoint list.

Any idea's how can I resolve this issue?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to access provider host app using https.
The reason for this is that SharePoint implements its own certificate validation policy to override .NET certificate validation.
Fix is to setup a trust between SharePoint and the server requiring certificate validation.
For more information, you can refer to:

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.

Cannot save site as template (An Unknown Error Has Occurred) even with the correct permissions/settings?

Hi everyone,
We're currently experiencing some issues saving a site as an template.
This is the error we get in the event viewer:
Exception information:
Exception type: InvalidOperationException
Exception message: Error saving solution to temporary file
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSolutionExporter.ExportWebAsSolution()
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSolutionExporter.ExportWebToGallery(SPWeb web, String solutionFileName, String title, String description, ExportMode exportMode, Boolean includeContent, String workflowTemplateName, String destinationListUrl, Action`1
solutionPostProcessor, Boolean activateSolution)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.SaveAsTemplatePage.BtnSaveAsTemplate_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument)
at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
I've looked everywhere for this error and all the sites point to a permission issue; I've check that already: it isn't. We've tried creating this template via PowerShell, C# command line application, SharePoint Designer and the savetmpl.aspx page at the
site itself: no result; Yes, it is a publishing site, but that didn't stop us. We've created a site template from a different site and the publishing feature was also enabled there.
Later this site really helped me into digging deeper into the logs: http://www.sharepointblogs.be/blogs/vandest/archive/2014/05/23/sharepoint-how-to-troubleshoot-issues-with-save-as-template.aspx
The annoying part is: the folder that is being created by the web application pool user when saving the site as a template is totally empty!
How can this be? Did I miss something? Could someone help me with this issue?
Thanks in advanced!
With kind regards,
M. Hekman

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you encountered the error “Error saving solution to temporary file” when you tried to save a publishing site as a template.
For your issue, please make sure you have set the SaveSiteAsTemplateEnabled property of your publishing site to true. You can refer to the PowerShell script as below:
# Get a reference to the target site
$web = Get-SPWeb http://Intranet.SWRanger.com/Publishing
# Update the property bage value and set it to the string value "true"
$web.AllProperties["SaveSiteAsTemplateEnabled"] = "true"
# Commit the property change to server
$web.Update()

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.

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.

Assign Values to Category column in custom Site template by using save a s template method

Hi All,
I am trying to develop a new custom site/web template in SharePoint 2013. In the site I have used Issue tracking list. I rename Issue status to Risk status. In the category column I gave my custom values e.g.
<CHOICE>Change Management</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Funding</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Global Communication</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Implementation</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Interdependencies</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Objectives</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Organizational Culture</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Resource Availability</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Sponsorship</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Supportability</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Technical</CHOICE>
I saved the site as template and uploaded the custom template into site collection. When I created a new site based on the custom template I noticed Risk status has been renamed to default Issue status and category column has default values e.g. category
1 category 2 etc. How can I fix it ? Your help will be highly appreciated

Hi,
As the error message suggests, it is not supported to add this app into a site template. To work around this issue, it is recommended to remove this app from your
site before saving it as template.
The KB article below would provide more details about this issue:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2885566?wa=wsignin1.0
To install this app to the specific sites you want in a batch, administrators can also use the App Catalog to push apps to specific site collections, managed paths,
and site templates.
More information about this:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp179896.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
I would also suggest you submit a feedback to the Office Developer Platform if there any expectation about the future version of Office 365 SharePoint Online:
http://officespdev.uservoice.com/
It
is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products. What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft
Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.
