Workplace Properties

Workplace Blueprint

The blueprint is comprised of XML text that includes properties that tell the Workplace Wizard what should be built and how to do it.  The basic format of the XML is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Workplaces>
  <Workplace id="ID NAME">
   <Workspace>
    <Title>Title</Title>
    <Description>Workplace Description</Description>
    <URL>/Workplacename</URL>
    <Template>template file name</Template>
    <Language>1033</Language>
  </Workspace>
 </Workplace>
</Workplaces>

 

You can create additional blocks of instructions that start with <Workplace> tags for each new workplace, and place them within the <Workplaces> tags.

The following properties are specified in the Workplace Blueprint:

Workplace ID

This property is used to define the name used to identify the blueprint.  This is the ID the user sees when they select a blueprint to use.  CorasWorks uses the following standard: CWBL###-Name. For example, CWBL201-Our Workplace.

Title

This property is used to define the default title of the workplace.

Description

This property is used to define the default description for the workplace.

URL

This property is used to define the default URL of the new workplace to be created. The name should be preceded by "/" and will be appended to the current site URL.

Template

This property is used to name the site template used to create the workplace.  The template must exist in the template gallery of the site collection, or the web part will return an error when the user reviews the settings.

NOTE: If the template was installed to the Site Template Gallery, you should identify the name minus the trailing ".stp". If the template was installed to the Global Catalog using the CorasWorks Software Manager or STSADM command, use the template title you specified to be associated with the template file during installation.

Language

This property is used to specify the ID for the language to be used when a site is created using this blueprint. A list of valid LCIDs can be found in the Modifiable DWP Properties for Localization topic.
