Application Templates Online

Hi guys. With the recent release of the 20 30 60 Windows SharePoint Services site templates from Microsoft I decided to install them on my public SharePoint site for anyone to check out. You can find a summary Web Part Page here that lists all the templates with their descriptions and links to each site itself. These are only using the Custom templates as the Basic ones are the OOTB look and feel for SharePoint and not very interesting to look at.

A few caveats about the sites I setup. This is setup so you can test drive the look of the templates to see what they offer. I have created a guest account that anyone can use (please don't abuse it) to contribute to any of the sites. When you hit one of the sites please use the following infomation:

User name: sharepoint.bilsimser.com\spguest
Password: SharePoint1

Also the InfoPath forms are tied back to the SharePoint Web Services from the original site they were created from so opening them usually produces a challenge dialog from that site. I'm not going to go in and fix that, but it's about a 5 minute job in InfoPath if you decide to install the templates in your own environment.

So feel free to explore, learn, and share your thoughts on the new templates. Enjoy!

  • Hi

    As a newbie in this area (but someone who picks stuff up really quickly) can you give me a pointer for that 5 minute procedure to change the InfoPath references?

  • I notice the "Tasks" list in the Project Team Site template reports an error on you deployment as well...



    Does anyone know/have a fix for this?

  • I've got SharePoint in Polish version ad big problem with templates. I downloaded them, add to sharepoint by web page, but i cannot use them during making new page. And don't know what's wrong :[

  • Are the themes provided with the sample applications or were they a separate download?



    TIA - Josh
