Tech-Ed seems like a distant memory now but it was actually only a week ago. I had an awesome time and already looking forward to next year. Was good to meet up with some the US SharePoint MVPs and Experts. Here is a photo of me and Matt presenting our SharePoint tools session:
Apologies to anyone that has been waiting for the session content but here it goes anyway .....
OFC301 - Creating Content Centric Publishing Sites with MOSS 2007.
Instructions on deploying the site definition:
- Run the install script to deploy solution to your SharePoint environment.
- Create a new site collection based on the Tech-Ed Publishing Solution
- If you didn’t create the site definition at the root of the site you will need to update some of the Pie images on the content pages
- For the feature webpart to workyou will need to create the Feature list. Create a list called Features with the columns: Title, Feature Description (multiline text) andSolution Area (lookup on pages list). Then put the listinto datasheet view and copy and paste the list items from the spreadsheet.
