You still can save them as templates via the method below, but I recall the reason that the admin link for "saving a template" was disabled for publishing pages was something to do with a dependency on site columns or site content types that do not come across with a template. Sorry can't recall the exact reason, but it was something alone those lines.

Hi, I'm not sure if I've done it correctly but I've done it! This is what I've done. . I created a publishing portal. . Then I created a new page (Home.aspx) with a customised page layout (CustomPageLayout.aspx). These custom page layout has only the title and page content. . Change the default page to Home.aspx . Then save the site as template via ./_layouts/savetmpl.aspx as as "Save as Template" option is not existing in Site Settings. . Then I create a site using the site template above Your newly created site will have Home.aspx as the welcome page. If you want to have default.aspx as the welcome page, you have to create a new site definition. My 2 cents. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------- OzMOSS.com - to unsubscribe from this list, send a message back to the list with 'unsubscribe' as the subject.
