I am newbee Sharepoint developer, so forgive me if this is a silly question. I want to create subsites on a sitecollection. I have by code limited the available webtemplates for the subsites to two different templates (will be more later on). I can access those templates if I go to "Site Actions" -> "New Site". But I would also like to have those templates populate a dropdown-list on the site, so that the user can choose a template and press a "Create new site"-button. When they press that button I would like them to end up in the Silverlight control "Create new site" with choosen webtemplate, and the "More options" selected. Apparently I do not have enough "points" to add a snapshot of where I want the user to end up.

My question is how I open the "New site" "popup", when the user has choosen a webtemplate and clicked "Create a new site". I hope my question makes any sense.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. I know that this is a Silverlight control, and that I do not have access to change the Silverlight code, but I just want to do a modified version of the event that happens when I press "Site Actions" -> "New Site". I want to do the same, with only difference that I want to limit available webtemplates to the choosen one, AND go directly to "More options". Is this a javascript thing?

My setting is Windows Server 2008 R2 and Sharepoint Server 2010 stand alone.

  • Thank you Per! I will look into it. Just so that I understand it correctly, it is possible to use the above methods to create new sitecollection with choosen webtemplate?

  • No, not site collections only sites. The Client Side Object Model can't do anything outside the current Site Collection, so there is no way to create Site Collections. Oct 16, 2012 at 11:49
