Convert site to site template

Asked By: Anushka Kotadia Date: Jan 27, 2009 Category: Sharepoint Views: 417

I've been building up a site that I want to turn into a site template. I've
tried this using the web interface and it only appears as a template within that
site collection.

Is there an easy/straightforward way of taking a site and turning it into a
global site template, or does it involve complex steps like packaging it up,
writing XML files, etc?

I think you can do this via stsadm -o addtemplate..
It should add the template globally (on that server) to all web apps...
Someone else please correct me if I am mistaken.

Here are the steps:

1) Save the site as a template

2) Go to the site collection site template gallery and save out the
template as an STP file.

3) Use STSADM -o addtemplate to add that STP file to the global
site gallery. (stsadm -help addtemplate will give you the usage)
