hiya!
Howdy.
as the web designer for the corporate intranet, i want to
force users to adopt the correct template. thus i need a
way to prevent them from detaching their pages from the
defined templates.
how to do this?
This really isn't possible, because the unruly users could
still do an Open With and modify the page in Notepad. Or
they could use Visual Studio, FrontPage 2002, or any
number of other tools.
One of the strengths of Dynamic Web Templates is that you
can have multiple templates in the same Web site. They're
much more flexible than Shared Brooders or Themes in that
respect. But this implies that designers can attach and
detach templates to get the best one for a particular page.
If you require greater uniformity, a portal site might
better suit your needs. Check out Windows SharePoint
Services or SharePoint Portal Server.
