Hi,

 

Just to make sure I described the situation properly:

 

Custom Site Definitions I have created by engineering a site, then using the 
SSG to export them to a VSS project work fine when used on the web application 
where the site they are based off was created, but on other web apps, they 
create ok, but the pages that should be deployed with them (eg default.aspx - 
exist on the filesystem, and are referenced in the onet.xml) do not get created.

 

1) Currently running on WSSv3.0 SP1

 

2) Next step to try is to build one up from hand - just trying to avoid this if 
possible.  Have looked over the ONET.XML (shudder) and the pages themselves but 
cant really see anythign wrong with them. Also considering adding a feature to 
the sites that simply adds the pages to the site if they dont already exist 
there - but think this is ugly as it will mean the pages bcome ghosted, when I 
really want it to live on the filesystem as much as possible.

 

3) Same thing happens if I create a template from one of the sites, and then 
export that to .stp, import it on another web app - site creates ok, but the 
pages aren't there.

 

Rgds,

 

Nige

Hello,
 
1)      what’s the latest service pack & Cumulative update do u have installed?!
2)      Did you try to copy existing one and modify it instead of reverse 
engineering?
3)      Any issues if you save it as template and create new sites from 
template?

Subject: Custom Site Def not deploying .aspx when used on diff Site Collection
 
Hi All, 

Am experiencing an issue with some of my custom site definitions when I try 
using them on a different site collection to the one they were originally 
created on - they complete succesfully, but none of the aspx pages that should 
be at the root of the site are there (eg. default.aspx). 

I created the custom def's by creating the site (lists, pages, features, etc.) 
manually, then using the SP Solution Generator to create a site def as a VS 
proj, then finally moving the necessary files from the generated VS proj into 
my overall VS proj. 

Strangely, the custom def's work fine on the site coll where I originally 
manually created the sites, but not on any others. 

I have attached a copy of one of the problematic onet.xml's
 
Can anyone please shed any light on what is going on here for me??? 

Many thanks, 

nige
