Default Content in custom publishing site definition

Asked By: Devika Goud Date: Nov 12, 2008 Category: Sharepoint Views: 834

I've been wallowing in the mire that is creating a custom publishing
site definition.

I'm managed to create custom site columns to represent some fields that
will be on our page layout, create a custom content to bind to our page
layout, create a page layout, and create a site definition that binds
default.aspx to our custom page layout.

The problem now is that I don't know how to default content (i.e. like
the oob publishing site does) in the site definition.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

In the default publishing sites its done through a Feature. Take a look
at the ProvisionedFiles.xml under the PublishingLayouts Feature.

I actually misspoke a little bit. It's actually the Collaboration
Portal and Publishing Portal which have default content (e.g. The
newsarticle image, the "Welcome to SharePoint" message, etc.).

I was finally able to figure out that this is in the ONET.xml of the
SPS site definition. There's <module> element for the HomePage which
defines all of the default content for the portals.
