    Hi,

    You achieve with powershell below:

    $spWeb = Get-SPWeb -Identity "your site url"

    $pubWeb =[Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingWeb]::GetPublishingWeb($spWeb)
    # Create blank web part page
    $pl = $pubWeb.GetAvailablePageLayouts() | Where { $_.Name -eq "BlankWebPartPage.aspx" } #you may change "BlankWebPartPage.aspx" to your custom page layout file name
    $newPage = $pubWeb.AddPublishingPage("your file name.aspx", $pl) #filename need end with .aspx extension
    $newPage.Update()
    # Check-in and publish page
    $newPage.CheckIn("")
    $newPage.ListItem.File.Publish("")
    $spWeb.Dispose()

     

    Hope helps.

    Cheers

    Change to your own page layout :)

    Hi,

    we had a similar problem and didn't want to use the  publishing feature.

    What worked surprisingly well for creating empty WebPartPages in the folder “SitePages” was something like this:

    Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction silentlycontinue;

    $url = "http://myserver/site";

    $listname = "SitePages"

    $web = Get-SPWeb $url

    $pagesLibrary = $web.Lists | Where { $_.Title -eq "SitePages" }

    $pageLayout = 8

    $cmd = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Method ID="0,NewWebPage"><SetList Scope="Request">' + $pagesLibrary.ID + '</SetList><SetVar Name="Cmd">NewWebPage</SetVar><SetVar Name="ID">New</SetVar><SetVar Name="Type">WebPartPage</SetVar><SetVar Name="WebPartPageTemplate">' + $pageLayout + '</SetVar><SetVar Name="Overwrite">true</SetVar><SetVar Name="Title">MyPage</SetVar></Method>';

    $web.ProcessBatchData($cmd)

    You can choose to create any other Page by changing the cmd Option like described in this MSDN article:

    Hi,

    I tried your variant with ProcessBatchData() but no luck - it gives me the following exception:

    <Result ID="0,NewWebPage" Code="-2130575322">
    <ErrorText>Указанный здесь список больше не существует.</ErrorText></Result>

    What I'm doing wrong? I do have the Site Pages available at http://ctc-vm-intranet:7777/SitePages/Forms/AllPages.aspx

    Hi guys, please look into this script for future, it allows the automation of the whole lot, including creating the pages with custom txt and then adding the web-parts appropriately, you can also use it to add new webparts to existing pages and so on, Zones are also under your control, hope it helps thanks.

    I can see that it is in archive now, since we haven't updated it for a while. It works on SP 2013 as well, I will have a dig around for the original source and re-upload it for you. Might take a day or so, thanks.
