POSharepoint 2010 Mysite Blog branding (with publishing) not working
text
Body
copied!<p>I did some branding for an intranet site for a client in SharePoint 2010 and build a solution. The solution contains some masterpages which are based on the publishing features of SharePoint. The client's intranet site also uses Mysite and I use feature stapling to apply the feature with the Mysite masterpage to the host and personal Mysite. </p> <p>The publishing features are also activated for Mysite, so the branding is consistent with the intranet site. This works fine. When i'm activating the feature on the mysite host, the branding is applied on both the host and the personal site.</p> <p>But what still isn't working after endless trial and error is the branding on the personal blog site. When the user clicks on the "create blog" link on his personal Mysite the new site is created. But when the blog site appears, the branding is not showing up. It looks like the right features are not enabled. </p> <p>The only step i manually have to take to make the branding work on the blog site, is to enable publishing in the features. But thats manually, i can't make it work from within the solution.</p> <p>I've tried some of the following steps:</p> <ul> <li><p>Activate the publishing feature with stapling (I've also tried some other available publishing features) : On the personal site collection and blog site :</p> <pre><code>//default branding feature <FeatureSiteTemplateAssociation Id="0676d0e2-2acf-4ac0-9ce6-e6952a4893c5" TemplateName="SPSMSITEHOST#0" /> <FeatureSiteTemplateAssociation Id="0676d0e2-2acf-4ac0-9ce6-e6952a4893c5" TemplateName="SPSPERS#0" /> //publishing features <FeatureSiteTemplateAssociation Id="f6924d36-2fa8-4f0b-b16d-06b7250180fa" TemplateName="SPSPERS#0" /> <FeatureSiteTemplateAssociation Id="94c94ca6-b32f-4da9-a9e3-1f3d343d7ecb" TemplateName="BLOG#0" /> </code></pre> <p>This makes the layout work right (publishing is activated), but i see no blog content, the contentarea is blank. Is the order of features wrong? (i've tried different orders). Why isn't there any content showing up? Are the blog features not activated?</p> <p>Maybe i need to add more features in a particularly order to be activated?</p></li> <li><p>Activate the masterpage feature to the blog:</p> <pre><code><FeatureSiteTemplateAssociation Id="0676d0e2-2acf-4ac0-9ce6-e6952a4893c5" TemplateName="SPSMSITEHOST#0" /> <FeatureSiteTemplateAssociation Id="0676d0e2-2acf-4ac0-9ce6-e6952a4893c5" TemplateName="SPSPERS#0" /> <FeatureSiteTemplateAssociation Id="0676d0e2-2acf-4ac0-9ce6-e6952a4893c5" TemplateName="BLOG#0" /> </code></pre> <p>This doesn't work. The result is a blog site without branding.</p></li> <li><p>Activate the masterpage feature global instead of applying it to seperate sites.</p> <pre><code><FeatureSiteTemplateAssociation Id="0676d0e2-2acf-4ac0-9ce6-e6952a4893c5" TemplateName="GLOBAL" /> </code></pre> <p>This doesn't work. The result is a blog site without branding.</p></li> </ul> <p>Maybe i have to find a solution in another direction: it would be great if somebody could help me with some next steps. I can't find any good information about this. Thanks in advance.</p>
