{"loaderData":{"0-13":{"posts":[{"id":59,"slug":"which-sharepoint-2010-site-template-is-right-for-me","title":"Which SharePoint 2010 Site Template Is Right For Me?","content":" \n\nWhen MOSS 2007 came out I created a blog post very similar to this one. It turned out to be one of my most popular posts and I received many comments and private emails thanking me for putting the post together. Since the post helped out so many folks I decided to create an updated version for SharePoint 2010.\n\nSharePoint 2010 ships with many predefined site templates you may use to create site collections and sub sites. Sometimes the out of the box site templates will meet the needs of your project. Other times, the out of the box site templates may need to be enhanced.\n\nKnowing which site template has the functionality you need to deploy, or use as a baseline for a custom site definition, is one of the key decisions you make when you architect a SharePoint deployment. This being said, it is important to understand the templates SharePoint 2010 comes with out of the box and what sub sites, lists and pages they support.\n\nThis post outlines the site templates SharePoint 2010 comes with out of the box and what sub sites, lists and pages they support. As usual, I’ve documented several useful pieces of information developers will find handy when working with the out of the box SharePoint site templates.\n\nIf you install Silverlight on your machine you’ll be presented with a fancy new interface to create sites (shown below). As you can see, SharePoint 2010 offers some guidance when creating new sites by providing descriptions and preview images for each out of the box template. However, not all of the descriptions list which resources the site comes provisioned with and the preview images are no help at all. See the image below, I think you will agree.\n\n $\"\"$ \n\nTo better understand the inventory of out of the box site templates, I created a site collection based on each out of the box site template. After creating 29 different site collections (that’s 6 more than MOSS 2007 if you are keeping track) I realized it would be hard to remember what each one looks like and what resources they offer. So, I decided to take some screenshots and document the site templates.\n

Preview Images

\nIf you care to see what all of the preview images look like, you can find them in the following directory on your SharePoint server:\n\nC:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft Sharedweb server extensions14TEMPLATELAYOUTS1033IMAGES\n\nThe file names for the preview images corresponding to each site template are listed in the tables below.\n

A More Detailed Look

\nIf you care to see what each of the home pages for the site templates look like you can download screenshots of each and every site template in this zip file. The screenshots should provide you with a good understanding of the different layouts that come with each out of the box template. This should save you a lot of time creating each type of site template on your own machine!\n\nHere’s an example, showing the new Business Intelligence Center; oh how fancy!\n\n \n

Important planning information related to the out of the box site Templates!

Available Sub Site Templates

\nThe next table lists the WEBTEMP XML fragment files each site template and configuration are defined in, the concatenated template and configuration string you need when making sites with the site template programmatically, and the file name of the preview image. If you wish to change the out of the box preview images I recommend backup up the existing preview images, then replacing them with your new preview images that have the same file names. Feel free to use the images I created from screenshots of each site template’s out of the box home page to do so. You can download them here.\n\nNote: You may have to perform this process again after a service pack is applied in the future. Editing the various WEBTEMP files that come out of the box is not a recommended approach; that’s why I recommend this approach.\n\nAs I mentioned before, knowing which sub sites, lists, and pages are available within a given site template are key pieces of information you will want to know when you architect a SharePoint solution.\n

New Site Templates

\nThe following site templates are new to SharePoint 2010.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Leverage this information to create SharePoint sites programmatically

\nThe concatenated template and configuration string is used when creating sites programmatically. See the last line of code below for an example.\n

//Create a new SPSite object corresponding to your top level site

\n\n

SPSite newSite = new SPSite(\"http://dev\");

\n\n

//Create a new SPWeb object from the newSite object

\n\n

SPWeb newWeb = newSite.OpenWeb();

\n\n

//Return the collection of sub sites

\n\n

SPWebCollection subSites = newWeb.Webs;

\n\n

//Create a new sub site by adding it to the sub site collection

\n\n

//The new site will have the following metadata:

\n\n

//Full URL once created: http://dev/newsite

\n\n

//Name: New Site

\n\n

//Description: This is the description for my new site.

\n\n

//Local ID set to 1033 – English

\n\n

//Site Template: Team Site

\n\n

//Use Unique Permissions: True

\n\n

SPWeb newSubWeb = subSites.Add(\"newsite\", \"New Site\", \"This is the description for my new site.\", 1033, \"STS#0\", true, false);

\n \n\nOnce again, I hope this post comes in handy for you and saves you the time I spent digging through the SharePoint file system and creating dozens of SharePoint sites to find the information. All the information in this post comes from the public beta 2 version of SharePoint Server 2010. I’ll update this post once SharePoint 2010 goes RTM.\n\nUPDATE: 3/31/2014\n\nJoe Gasper collated the information in the tables which appear in my blog post into an Excel Workbook.

What do you do if you accidentally enabled a Managed Environment in the Power Platform and you want to make the Environment non-Managed again? There is no way in the Power Platform Admin Center to Disable / Turn Off a Managed Environment, you can only Enable or Delete Managed Environments in the Admin Center. To Disable / Turn Off a Managed Environment, and go back to a non-Managed Environment, you must use PowerShell. Here's how to do it:

\n\n\n\n

Open a PowerShell prompt as Administrator.

\n\n\n\n

Install PowerShell

\n\n\n\n

Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell

\n\n\n\n

Log in with an account that has permissions to administer Environments. The following command will open an authentication prompt. The prompt supports MFA.

\n\n\n\n

Add-PowerAppsAccount -Endpoint prod

\n\n\n\n

Run this code that sets protectionLevel to Basic, which turns an Environment from Managed to non-Managed.

\n\n\n\n

$UpdatedGovernanceConfiguration = [pscustomobject]@{ protectionLevel = \"Basic\" }

\n\n\n\n

Run this command to apply the changes to the Environment you want to convert from Managed to non-Managed. Make sure to replace the Environment Id accordingly.

\n\n\n\n

Set-AdminPowerAppEnvironmentGovernanceConfiguration -EnvironmentName -UpdatedGovernanceConfiguration $UpdatedGovernanceConfiguration

\n\n\n\n

Here's what it all looks like:

There are several products on the market that make it easy to move your lacrosse goal. I investigated them and then created my own to save my yard, my back, and my money. An added bonus is you can store your goal on the transporter to keep it off the ground and free from dirt and moisture.

\n\n\n\n

This is especially helpful if you have ECD targets, a Smart Backstop shooting net, and a Lax Dog strapped to your goal, which makes it quite heavy! These are not affiliate links, I don't make any money off them. Just thought I'd share the links because we really enjoy these products.

Instructions

\n\n\n\n

Lay the goal on top of the 4x4.

\n\n\n\n

Mark the 4x4 where you want to cut it. Leave a little room on the ends to install a stopper (scroll down to see the picture with the stopper) to prevent the goal from sliding off the end. I left about 2\" of space on either side of the goal.

\n\n\n\n

Cut the 4x4 to the length that makes sense for your goal. I went with 80\" for my 4x4.

Mark the center of each end of the 4x4. Then use a 7/16\" (or the appropriate size bit that is small enough that the threads on the lag screw will still bite into the wood) drill bit to drill a hole as deep as the threads on your lag screw. The lag screws are the axles for the wheels. In my case I used a boring bit, and the hole was over 4\" deep. This is the most important step. If you drill this hole off-center or off-axis the tires will not be aligned properly. If the pressure treated wood is fresh and wet, this could be challenging. Take your time, get it right the first time.

\n\n\n\n

Use a large socket wrench to screw the lag screws into the 4x4 until all the threads are engaged. Don't put your wheel or spacer on yet. Leave them off so you can concentrate on screwing in the screw perfectly. This is the 2nd most important step. If you screw it in on an angle, the tires will not be aligned properly. This is not easy; you will need to put a lot of muscle into this.

\n\n\n\n

Use a large socket wrench to un-screw the lag screws from the 4x4 all the way. Be careful when you take out the lag screw, it could be quite hot from the friction.

\n\n\n\n

Lay the goal on top of the 4x4 and center it.

\n\n\n\n

This picture shows the pieces described in the next set of steps.

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Cut some of the 21\" 2x4 to make little stoppers for top ends of the 4x4. You will do this 2 times, one for each end.

\n\n\n\n

Align the stopper on top of the 4x4 and drill holes in the 2x4 stopper you just made. Go all the way through so you mark the 4x4 with holes. Remove the stopper and finish drilling out the holes in the 4x4. You will do this 2 times, one for each end.

\n\n\n\n

Screw the stoppers to the 4x4 with the deck screws. You will do this 2 times, one for each end.

\n\n\n\n

Cut some 2x4 to make a brace for the goal posts to prevent the goal from sliding off the 4x4. I made my braces 8\" long. You will do this 2 times, one for each goal post.

\n\n\n\n

Align the brace on the side of the 4x4 and drill holes in the 2x4 braces you just made. Go all the way through so you mark the 4x4 with holes. Remove the brace and finish drilling out the holes in the 4x4. You will do this 2 times, one for each end.

\n\n\n\n

Screw the brace to the 4x4 with the deck screws. You will do this 2 times, one for each end.

\n\n\n\n

This picture shows the pieces described in the next set of steps.

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Align the 2x4 in the middle of the 4x4 make the end flush to the edge of the 4x4. Drill holes in the 2x4 and go all the way through so you mark the 4x4 with holes. Remove the brace and finish drilling out the holes in the 4x4.

\n\n\n\n

Screw the 2x4 to the 4x4 with the deck screws.

\n\n\n\n

This picture shows the pieces described in the next set of steps.

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Pass the lag screw through the wheel, add the spacer on the other side, then use the large socket wrench to tighten the screw. You will do this 2 times, one for each end.

\n\n\n\n

Walk around the back of your goal and grab the 2x4 and lift up the goal.

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Now, add a little flair and make it easier to lift the 2x4 by adding a custom handle. This beauty was made by my Dad when he created our treehouse when I was a boy. It lives on today as part of our lacrosse transporter! I attached it with 2 deck screws.

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Move your goal to a suitable location and rip some Gs!
