Need global site mods (template?)

  Asked By: Miguel Sullivan         Date: Jan 28, 2004      Category: Sharepoint      Views: 248
 

I'm still trying to get a feel for ghosted/un-ghosted...

Is it possible to apply a template to 5 sites, then make one
modification somewhere and have it affect something (ex: the header)
on all of the existing sites?

What other ways than using a Web Part in a top header Web Part Zone
are there for propagating changes through a number of pre-existing
web sites?

If you make your changes global, you might consider making carefully managed changes to the following files:

...\layouts\1033\styles\OWS.CSS
...\layouts\1033\styles\owspers.css
...\layouts\1033\styles\sps.css

These changes will apply  to all pre-existing as well as new sites  on the server.

I am more interested in content and layout changes flowing to all
the other sites. Ex: we add a link to the nav bar that 200 sites  are
using.

How about editing default.aspx of the corresponding site  template? If
all 200 sites  are using the same template, modifying default.aspx
results in modifications for 200 sites. This works best when you need to
remove something, or change the navigation to something else.
