Change the default page when site is created

  • [アーティクル]

When you create a new publishing site in MOSS it automatically gets a default page created using the WelcomeLinks.aspx page layout. How can you change this behavior and have it automatically create a page based on a content type and page layout of your choice? Read on to find out how.

The Publishing template (as do all templates) have an ONET.XML file. In this file there is a modules section (as below), this defines the PublishingPageLayout and ContentType to be used when a site is created.

<Modules>     <Module Name="Home" Url="$Resources:cmscore,List_Pages_UrlName;" Path="">         <File Url="default.aspx" Type="GhostableInLibrary" Level="Draft" >             <Property Name="Title" Value="$Resources:cmscore,IPPT_HomeWelcomePage_Title;" />             <Property Name="PublishingPageLayout" Value="~SiteCollection/_catalogs/masterpage/WelcomeLinks.aspx, ~SiteCollection/_catalogs/masterpage/WelcomeLinks.aspx" />             <Property Name="ContentType" Value="$Resources:cmscore,contenttype_welcomepage_name;" />         </File>     </Module> </Modules>

This could be changed to specify any default content type and page layout. The following shows how you might change it to a content type called MyContentType and a default page layout called MyPageLayout.aspx;

<Modules>     <Module Name="Home" Url="$Resources:cmscore,List_Pages_UrlName;" Path="">         <File Url="default.aspx" Type="GhostableInLibrary" Level="Draft" >             <Property Name="Title" Value="$Resources:cmscore,IPPT_HomeWelcomePage_Title;" />             <Property Name="PublishingPageLayout" Value="~SiteCollection/_catalogs/masterpage/MyPageLayout.aspx, ~SiteCollection/_catalogs/masterpage/MyPageLayout.aspx" />             <Property Name="ContentType" Value="MyContentType" />             <Property Name="PublishingAssociatedContentType" Value=";#MyContentType;#0x010100C568…3A09F31E1FBA;#" />         </File>     </Module> </Modules>

Note: The big number 0x010100C568…3A09F31E1FBA is obtained from the Url of the Content Type.

The ONET.XMl file that I modified was in this path C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft Sharedweb server extensions12TEMPLATESiteTemplatesPUBLISHINGXML. and this how I changed it (after creating a content type and page layout, both called CMSDefault) - Does this seem right? thanks, anabhra

    anabhra Says: April 15, 2007 at 12:32 pm Thanks William. I did perform the IISReset. What I am trying to do is configure the default page for a group of child sites (publishing sites) under the parent publishing site that is the root application. So say http://severname:9001 is the application that I create as a publishing site. What I want is a default page for all 1st level children sites (http://server:9001/Media/) and another default page for 2nd level children sites (http://server:9001/Media/WorldNews/). Can this be done? Thanks, anabhra

    anabhra Says: April 16, 2007 at 12:51 am Yes, you are right. However, I have to create about eight 1st level sites and about 50 2nd level sites. A templated way to create them would come handy. Also, I have to replicate this effort accross 8 variation sites. Can’t I save my 1st level or 2nd levelsub site as a template and reuse? thanks, anabhra

Check out this blog post : http://katriendg.com/aboutdotnet/2007-5-1-publishing-web-syntax-onet-xml.aspx It states you need to make use of a ‘ContentTypeBinding’ feature so on creation of a new sub-site your custom content type is added to the Pages document library, so that the welcome page IS created correctly with your custom content type. Otherwise the correct page layout is used, but if you switch to ‘Edit’ mode on the new welcome page any field controls bound to new custom fields won’t render because the actual content type used for the page is ‘Page’ and not your custom content type.
