    Help with meeting workspace templates

    Hello

    I have been working with workspace templates and need to create a meeting workspace template that has standard content.  I can do this easily with a document or team workspace - there is a checkbox to 'save content.'  However, after many many hours of getting the meeting workspace that I wanted set up with the content I wanted, I went to save it as a template and realized that there is no "Save Content" check box when you go to do this for a meeting workspace.

    Please tell me that there is a way to do this!  I am trying to tie this to a calendar of events - so that users can go in, select a date on a shared calendar and then plan an upgrade via a standard set of documentation and tasks.  I don't want to create a team workspace template because then the users will have to create the workspace and then link it to the meeting (too confusing for the end user).  I just want them to click that "create meeting workspace" button, select my template and then have all the content they need for this meeting.

    Thanks in advance,

    M

    Help with meeting workspace templates

    Hi,

    Sorry for not responding sooner but my current client is pretty demanding.

    If you create a Meeting Workspace and try to save it as a template there is no option to save the content.  This really does not surprise me because you are able to create a custom site definition for Meeting Workspace because it has hard coded id's in the main webparts.

    Sorry for the bad news but maybe someone else will have a different opinion.

    Cheers.

    Actually, I think I managed to work around it by replacing the actual .stp file with an .stp file from a team workspace.  The system thinks its the same meeting workspace but it's pulling the workspace template that I want.

    There are probably reasons I shouldnt do that but it seems to work!

    Hello!

    I know this post is about 3 years old, but I too am trying to do the exact same thing!

    I also spent a lot of time saving content to a workspace that we want in the template.  How will I be able to get around this?  I don't know where to look for the stp files..
