On the download page there is a statement: This will only install the template. Follow the instructions in the Setup document to configure and see the sample data.

In the package I cannot find anything of a setup document. Is a more detailed instruction available?

The set up docs are indeed in the download files. There are two text docs: read me, and then set up doc. It shows how to configure the template to read the sampem database, configure BDC, KPI parts and more.

Cheers

So how is it that these templates are created? How would a developer / designer create a role based template for their own purposes rather than using one of the seven that Microsoft has generously provided?

Acar,

Make sure that you are creating the site under Collaboration Portal. The setup document mentions that templates must be restored under the site collection of type collobaration portal.

I am also having the error:

And my main site is a Collaboration Portal Template.

Any thoughts what might be?

Add me to the list of people getting this error. I've rebuilt the server twice all the way from a hard drive reformat, followed the instructions to the letter and still the error persists.

Does any one have a clue what causes this? The suggestion above regarding creating the site under a Collaboration Portal fixes nothing. It simply doesn't work.

Troy — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 02:36:15 GMT

I found this was occuring in a site template i had created. The problem was i had a page layout applied to a page.

The page has to be a welcome page to be able to use a page layout properly.

So i went into the Site i used as the site template went to Pages, the default.aspx properties and change page to welcome page.

Then recreated the site template.

and it worked.

I'm running into the same issue with the IT Managers template.

I looked at the page settings on my Collaboration Portal home page and the page layout is set to a welcome page. I tried changing it to a different type of welcome page, but no luck.

Anyone find a fix for this?

I've found what I was doing wrong in my instance.

I wasn't creating the collaboration portal site at the root level.

initaally i created the collaboration Portal site at http://servername/sites/collabportal

this gave me the error " This page is not using a valid page layout. To correct the problem, edit page settings and select a valid page layout. "

I created a new web application and used the host header of "PortalDev"

I then created a new site collection using the collaboration portsl template as the top level site. I then created a site using the IT Manager template.

Did anyone find a solution for this error?

"This page is not using a valid page layout. To correct the problem, edit page settings and select a valid page layout."

I followed the document which microsoft provided with the template but no luck.

Can anyone help?

Simple solution

sales@aivea.com — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 23:36:27 GMT

Among the many solutions I think you should first try to go to Pages then go to the default.aspx properties and change page to welcome page.

Now try it out again.

Please let me know if it does not work.
