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.
