Create SharePoint Online site based on .wsp template file via PowerShell
Dear community, I am trying to find the quickest solution to provision new SharePoint sites based on a template site (we extracted the .wsp file). Currently we manually create a SharePoint site via the SharePoint Online admin center in Office 365 and create a site with the option "select template later". After the site is created we manually upload the .wsp template file to the solution library of the new site in order to activate the template. As I work for a company with + 15.000 employees, we are trying to implement more efficient processes and if possible automate standard processes. The manual process we currently use takes too much time for our support departments. I know that there is a possibility to create a SharePoint site via PowerShell and I also saw a PowerShell command to upload a .wsp file to a SharePoint site, however that was a PowerShell command meant for (an on premise) SharePoint Server 2013. Is there anyone who can help me with the PowerShell script to automate the following: 1) Create a SharePoint Online site with the option to activate a template later based on a locally (or virtually would be even better) stored .wsp file. 2) Upload the .wsp file to the solution gallery of the just created SharePoint site 3) Activate the template on the new SharePoint site This would be a tremendous help for us, so I hope you can help. Thank you in advance for thinking along! Kind regards, Sylvester
SharePoint Online content type with template opens the template, not a new instance of a page
I have created a custom content type and then linked a template to it. I have then added this content type to a SharePoint Library to allow users to click the 'New' button and then select the new content type. My issue is that this opens the template, not a new instance of a page using the template. Does anyone know what I may have done wrong here? This can't be the intended functionality?
Office templates are not reachable via Content Delivery Network
Hey, I'm facing an issue since months and cannot find any solution to it even with the Microsoft Support so I want to share my problem here. I configured in SharePoint Online a library for using with Office templates, like many times before. So the employees can open e.g. Word then go to New -> customer domain name and see there Office templates there. It was working for some time and then suddenly it stopped working for every employee of my customer with the error message "you are not signed in or your cached credential has expired". This message appears directly under the domain name within the New site in Word. We tried with signing in and out, reinstall Office, completly new installed notebooks, new creation of the template library, permission tests and so and nothing is working. Even stranger is the fact that this functionality is still working when the employees working from their local office but it is not working in any homeoffice working place^^ Of course we checked the conditional access policies and login logs in Azure AD, but no issue can be found there too. Do you have any hint for me? Thanks and RegardsI need to share an Excel file that opens as a template, rather than a shared file.
I want to put spreadsheets on SharePoint that, hopefully, open in Excel Online. However, I don't want the spreadsheets to open as SHARED files that everyone works on, I want each person to have their own clean copy. How do I do this? I would like to be able to add them from my OneDrive, but it is okay if I have to upload them.
Site Pages showing as Page Template - Cannot publish major version
Does anyone know the fix for this weird bug. A bunch of our site pages in Modern SharePoint started showing "This is a page template saved on your site.Learn more." green bar at the top of the site page even though they are not templates, they cannot be found in the templates folder and be used as a template. It just started a recently. All of these pages didn't have that issue before and it affects multiple other site collections. We have no idea how to fix it and Microsoft Premium support has been unhelpful so far. We didn't change any configuration, when creating a new page it creates it correctly, It seems to only affect existing pages (even from 2 years ago) . This is an issue because we can't publish a major version because it only lets us save it as a template. (ie. just as minor versions).SPO - Dokumentenbibliothek aus Vorlage erstellen
Hallo zusammen, nach langem rumprobieren hat es endlich geklappt, für bestimmte Sites Dokumentenbibliotheken als Vorlage zu speichern. Nun würde ich natürlich gerne aus dieser Vorlage weitere Dokumentenbibliotheken erstellen. Problem ist: ich kann weder bei der Erstellung noch später auswählen, dass ich die Vorlage als Grundlage nehmen möchte. Kann mir jemand helfen, ob auch hier Buttons versteckt sind und erst mittels PowerShell für verschiedene Sites hervorgeholt werden können? Oder ob es andere Wege und Möglichkeiten gibt, Dokumentenbibliotheken aus einer Vorlage zu erstellen?
Content type 'Document' - Template delete by error
Hi everyone, I did a mistake and changed the template of the Content Type 'Document'. And as the option 'apply to child content type' was set to 'yes', it did change the template of all content types inheriting from this default content type 'Document'. For the content types I have created, it's ok. I changed the template back to what it should be. But, what about the default SharePoint content type such as 'Wiki page'? How to set it back to what it originally was? For info I'm in SharePoint online. Thanks for your help Géraldine
