Sharepoint Template in Portal
May 23rd
Share point templates. A while ago MS came up with some new team site templates. Now most of the instructions you read are about adding those templates to the root of a wss site, now if your running portal this is a bit difficult.
Wondering around the portal controls I thought I had the answer under the manage user and security and other things option wqas a site gallery option. I uploaded my templates and bugger all happened. Heck knows what this is for.
To add those templates or any other STP to a portal site then you use stsadm -o addtemplate plus an iisreset and woot, there they are.

installed this thing, and spent just a couple of minutes and that was enough to figure out what a great improvement, it just feels right. To really test it I put my wife in front and told her to do a mail merge something that she only just learned to do, again minutes to get to grips with it and it was done. The interface improvements really work, will give it a thorough gong over soon see how outlook has fared.
