Paul There is a Global Site Definition that is called in the provisioning process before the selected Site Template (site definition).
This contains reusable components that are relevant to all sites. You could try and staple a feature to the Global Site Definition (located in the GLOBAL folder in the 12 hive). Let me know if this works, as I am not sure how it will handle the provisioning process of a Feature that is dependent on the underlying site definition that hasn't yet been created.

Do you know if it's possible to specify ALL sites somehow. i.e. is there a base site type in the same way there is a base library ID? Auditing is one of our base requirements and I'd really like to automate this task as much as possible.

Do I increment versions for both the solution and feature and then then just run stsadm -upgradesolution? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Thursday, 22 January 2009 9:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Feature attributes - default activation on new sites Hi all, How can I specify that a feature is activated by default on all new sites? Or should this be defined in the solution manifest?? The ActivateOnDefault flag seems only to refer to installation and web app creation. Also, what is the correct process for upgrading a feature deployed by a solution? Do I increment versions for both the solution and feature and ________________________________ Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected] Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/ozmoss Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists ________________________________ Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected] Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/ozmoss Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists ________________________________ Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected] Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/ozmoss Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists No virus found in this incoming message.
