Add a site to a topic area |
|
|
I have several sites on my portal, and they show up in the default Sites
area, which is fine. But I also want to include those sites in the topic
areas to which they pertain – so, for example, when you go to the Proposals
topic area, you see all the collaboration sites for proposals.
I cannot find a way to do this. I can assign web parts (libraries,
discussions, etc.) to areas, but I don’t see where I assign an entire WSS
site to an area. Given the way things are tucked into various places in
SharePoint, I assume I am missing something. Can someone point me in the
right direction? Thanks.

To do this you can create a link list in the area to all of the related
sites. But this will be a manual process. I don't know of a way out of the
box to auto assign sites to areas.

When you create a site, there is that line that says to assign to area, and the |
default is Home. However, you can choose the change or browse button and then
work down the area tree to find the area in which you want it to appear. The
selection is still manual, in the same sense that creating the site is manual.
I suspect that it can be done programmatically, also.
The trick, of course, is to actually see, or be aware of, the choice point when
you are concentrating on all the other parameters you have to set when you are
creating a site.
And, after the site has been created, you can go to the sites page and change
its area assignment from there.

I was under the impression that whey you are using the area selection tool, |
you can select more than one area. Have you tried it?

Thank you for your suggstions. I realize I can select an area when I create
the site. However that limits me to one area. It kind of defeats the area
architecture if a site can only be associated with one area. I am puzzelled
by this limitiation - but if the only way I can associate a site with
multiple areas is by creating a manual link - that's what I'll have to do.
At least I now know I'm not overlooking something!
