Custom Template (.stp) name or id in SDK?

Asked By: Denny Fry Date: Apr 19, 2005 Category: Sharepoint Views: 265

I have created a custom site template and installed the stp file via stsadm. Does anyone have any ideas on how to retrieve the id (i.e. _GLOBAL_#1) in code? If I try to use the SDK then I only get the base template id back (i.e. STS) and not the actual STP template. Anyone have any ideas on how I could retrieve it?

The template a site was created with is not stored in the site. Are you just trying to use the user site template or are you trying to fetch it back from a site?

You can only retrieve custom templates. Use the ListCustomGlobalWebTemplates method of the SPGlobalAdmin class. It returns a string with the name, LCID, ID and description for each global site template. Note that you cannot retrieve templates that you create with custom sitedefs as they’re not in this group.
