Hi. Please help - I followed all the steps given in your article, including the second article of replacing the create page link, and I keep getting this: Error: Unknown Error(on the Customcreatepage.aspx). Any ideas? Any help is appreciated.

Hi, this is a great article just what i was after. The only i error i had when using the cope from the page was that you forgot to mention the namespace import that is needed.

<%@ Import Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing" %>

otherwise PublishingWeb etc are a not regonised.

Thanks a lot for this article.

In this solution we can create pages just in subfolders of Pages folder...

I modified it a little bit:

in OnLoad method:

ddlDocLib.Items.Add(new ListItem(list.Title, list.RootFolder.Name));

in OnCustomSubmit method:

PublishingPage newPage = publishingWeb.GetPublishingPages().Add(web.Url + "/" + ddlDocLib.SelectedItem.Value + "/" + pageName, layout);

Now, you can store publishing pages with the page content type enabled with the document library or List.

How to let the customized CreatePage.aspx appears when I make a new Page from decument library

Hi Net,

Create a custom content type and mention the TargetName attribute of the DocumentTemplate element in the custom content type to the custom "CreatePage.aspx". Now attach the Content type to the documnet libraray and it will navigate you to create the pages to teh custom page.

Hi Di_mon,

This solution itself targetting any Doc Lib or List (enabled with page content type) to store the pages.

Hi Syed,

Thanks for the article. If we save publishing pages into other document libraries, it seems that the "Page Settings" options becomes no longer available for the page. do you have any suggestion / solution on how to resolve this?

Cheers,

pit

Hi Pit,

The 'Page Settings' menu item disappears because it has HideStates='IsPublishingPageFalse' in EditingMenu.xml. It looks like SharePoint determines this value by looking at the document library name.

Yeu can work around this by either modifying EditingMenu.xml (not recommended), or by creating CustomEditingMenu.xml and modifying the menu there.

Hope this helps!

Syed, Thanks for posting this excellent article. Having read various posts on the subject suggesting that it was impossible I was about to give up all hope!
