Comments on: SharePoint of the Day #55 http://www.understandingsharepoint.com/spotd/sharepoint-of-the-day-55 Your daily dose of SharePoint - From Spot D Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:12:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: spotd http://www.understandingsharepoint.com/spotd/sharepoint-of-the-day-55/comment-page-1#comment-8 spotd Wed, 17 Jun 2009 02:10:35 +0000 http://www.understandingsharepoint.com/spotd/sharepoint-of-the-day-55#comment-8 Hi Sandeep! You are almost correct on the RootWeb issue, but it would be more correct to say that it will not work if you are creating a site collection through the Central Administration. However, in some cases, you can manage to create a site collection in which a RootWeb template is not applied, for example if there is an error in the site definition user. In these cases, the first request to the site collection will spawn a Create Site page to set up the RootWeb, and the ExecuteUrl will work. However, the situations in which this is usable for a root site are obscure, so consider this a method for creating sites only, not for site collections. I am not sure what you mean by only working with STS and MWS, though. When you are creating a custom site definition you are not using any of the two existing templates you mention, but rather creating your own. And I can guarantee you that it does work very well when creating your own, custom site definition. If you want an example of how this can be used, check out my uncle's Building the SharePoint User Experience book, on page 313. SpotD Hi Sandeep!
