  A quick way to view the onet.xml which was used to create the site is using RPC.

   

  Append /_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?Cmd=GetProjSchema to the end of the url of your site to get it.

   

  Example: http://myserver/sites/mysites/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?Cmd=GetProjSchema 

   

  Hope this helps.

   

  Question on my turn: Adding webpart to Newform.aspx using "?PageView=Shared&ToolPaneView=2" doesn't break the support MS? Is it supported?

  Hi Gerard,
  
  Thanks for the reply.
  
  Adding webpart to Newform.aspx is supported
  
  Append the text ?PageView=Shared&ToolPaneView=2  after Newform.aspx
  
  Example: http://servername/Lists/Tasks/NewForm.aspx?PageView=Shared&ToolPaneView=2
  
  My question: I am able to view .xml file by appending the text /_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?Cmd=GetProjSchema to the end of the url
  But I cannot view the template name in the .xml file.
  
  My requirement is to know the template name whether the site is created with team site, blank site, collaboration portal etc.,
  
  Reply's always appreciated
  
  Thanks and Regards,
  G Vijai Kumar

  Hi,
  
  Please let me clear, what kind of customization you would like to do for Document Wrokspace template?
  Are you looking to customize the look and feel of Non-Layouts pages or Layouts pages?
  
  Thanks and Regards,

  Hi,
  
  I found the solution
  
  

  Code Snippet

  <%@ Assembly Name="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"%>
  <%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/_layouts/application.master" Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.LayoutsPageBase" %>
  <%@ Import Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint" %>
  
  <script runat="server">
  protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e){
  SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
  {
  using (SPWeb thisWeb = this.Web)
  {
  lblWebTempalte.Text = thisWeb.WebTemplate;
  lblWebTemplateID.Text = thisWeb.WebTemplateId.ToString();
  }
  });
  }
  </script>
  <asp:Content ID="Main" runat="server" contentplaceholderid="PlaceHolderMain" >
  <p>
  Web Template: <asp:Label ID="lblWebTempalte" runat="server" />
  </p>
  Web Template ID: <asp:Label ID="lblWebTemplateID" runat="server" />
  </asp:Content>
  
  <asp:Content ID="PageTitle" runat="server" contentplaceholderid="PlaceHolderPageTitle" >
  Site Template Information
  </asp:Content>
  
  <asp:Content ID="PageTitleInTitleArea" runat="server" contentplaceholderid="PlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea" >
  Site Template Information
  </asp:Content>
  

  
  

  Please follow the steps to know the template name of sharepoint site:
  

  • Save the code snippet code as .aspx page ( eg:webtemplate.aspx) to your layouts folder (usually C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS)

  • Once the page is saved you can access it from any of your sharepoint sites via http://servername/_layouts/webtemplate.aspx
  • Compare the web template ID with the below List of MOSS 2007 Template ID Information
