From: moss 2007 dev on 12 Dec 2006 14:19 Thanks again Mike. If that is the scenario then how can "some later modifications made to sites based on the templates stored in C: (or to those templates) will ripple through sites. "? How is this possible?How can i update STP file? Is there any option in Sharepoint 2007 where i can modify a template and changes ripple thru all sites? Or modification of a site deifnition and changes ripple thru all sites? "Mike Walsh" wrote: > You can't.

Hi, I'm using MOSS (Sharepoint) 2007 and have a problem with My Site. When a user logins in to My Site for the first time, a "My Site" is generated by the SP system. However, the template contains a lot of information and web parts that my client wishes to remove (client thinks users will be confused due to information overflow...). There are also new web parts that my team has created that we would like to include on the customized My Site. |
