Subject: SharePoint Site Directory

 

After dozens of user complaints about how lame this template is I'm now in a
position where I'm being forced to either get it to list ALL sites
(collections) or delete it.

 

I'm sure all of you have encountered the following when trying to apply a
site directory URL that is outside the current site collection.

 

"The location entered is not a site collection relative path, or the
specified Site Directory does not exist in the current Site Collection."

 

But what good is a Site Directory if it's limited to one collection?! And
given this limitation, why bother having a Master Site Directory setting in
Central Administration!?

 

I briefly considered creating a new site directory for each site collection
but quickly scrapped that idea when I realised it'd be even more confusing
to end users.

 

I then looked at cross-site lookups, scope result page, and even a custom
sitemap provider. But all of these would mean a loss of functionality
(categorisation, listing settings per site etc). So now I'm back to simply
deleting it. Which kinda sucks.

 

I'd be very interested to hear what others have done in this area.
