Can I do this with a solution file?

I have created a number of templates for various types of sites for our internal MOSS. One of these are a customer site that - among other things - has a subsite for all our projects related to this customer.

When I save this site as a template I include all the content as I've created a number of custom web part pages in a document library that we use but there is no way for me to include the project subsite.

Would it be possible to use a solution file for this? According to this MSDN article it doesn't sound like a solution file is the answer.

Is there an easy way to accomplish this or am I forced to create the project subsite manually for each new customer?

One way is to create Site Definitionsout of Site Templates and then use SPWebProvisioningProvider to create as many site as you like with Single Site/Web provision. And yes you can create solution for this, and in fact solution is a good idea for this.

Hiya Aapo.

Will this include all the subsites? To my knowledge a site template only contains information about the current site, not about the underlying ones.

Or am I misunderstanding something?
