The Best Place for SharePoint-related Blogs

Blog Posts

As many of you will already know a Blog template is just a series of linked lists (+ some fancy bits). There are a couple of interesting observations about the Posts list though:

 a) You don't have the option to save this list as a template (presumably because the content is related to other lists)

b) You can enabled attachments on the list but there is no interface to attach anything

Jenny,

You can enable attachements...you need to modify an ascx control.

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES\DefaultTemplates.ascx

Look for ID="BlogNewFormToolBar" and ID="BlogEditFormToolBar"

You need to add <SharePoint:AttachmentButton runat="server"/> into the Template_Buttons element.

Probably best though to do this by overriding the control template rather than modifying defaulttemplates.ascx
