Fab 40 templates were free templates released by Microsoft for sharepoint 2007 and wss 3.0 to address some of the common scenarios encountered by SharePoint administrators, developers and event business/Marketing managers to demonstrate and show case some of the capabilities of MOSS to end users.

Discussion about that how good these templates are and in which scenario these are more helpful versus things which needs to be improved in these templates is a separate topic but I have noticed many SharePoint people using these templates either for small clients , for demonstration purpose and even for training purposes etc. ..

I have uploaded some of these Fab 40 templates for SP 2010, so now you can have Fab 40 for SP 2010, at least some of these are available for now…rest coming soon J .

Follow the instructions in readme file to install these, I strongly recommend that you install it in your test environment before testing it in real/production.

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

Nice job, may i ask, if you did reworked each one of them from scratch directly on SP2010, or have them all exported after upgrading them from MOSS 2007 towards SP 2010 !
Anyway, the time you took to re-build, re-package is worth all appreciation!C. Marius

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

Nice work. Thanks for sharing I've installed an SP 2010 environment in a VirtualBox environment and your templates are loading nicely there. One question... as I click on some of the objects, say in the Marketing Campaign template (Campaign A or Campaign B), the items will not load. Is this expected behaviour? The same held true in the Survey samples. Just curious. Thanks!

By Brett Zamora on   7/15/2010 8:22 PM

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

@ Brett
Yes that's the expected behaviour, have compared with 2007 Marketing Campaign template, and also found the same behaviour there.

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

Great effort! Since we have several sites created from KnowledgeBase templates are not working correctly after upgraded to 2010, I deployed your updated KnowledgeBase wsp from stsadm to 2010 after removing the 2007 version. It seems like the home page could not be displayed.

The home holds some webparts such as "Recent Additions", "Recent Changes", and "My Documents". Have you tested the migrated sites to have this issue? I quickly looked at the package and some features are hidden. Is this the intention?

Would you willing to work with us as consultant during your spare time to resolve this issue for our company? Your help is highly appreciated.

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

The template needs to be added as a subsite option for the root Publishing site collections. If you go to Site Settings -> Look and Feel -> Page layouts and site templates -> select the template and add it under subsite templates, it will be available.

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

Does anyone know if these will work on SP Foundation 2010? I've tried with no luck, but perhaps they're only compatible with Enterprise?

Thanks!

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

@Eric, I was wondering the same thing myself, I can add the templates but they still do not work in Sharepoint Foundation.

By Robbie on   7/28/2010 9:34 PM

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

Many thanks for developing these!

Question - I uploaded and activated the DocumentLibraryReview template and created a new site. The problem is the "Approval" and "Collect Feedback" workflows dont seem to exist. Not sure if I am doing something wrong. Thanks in advance!

By Dan on   8/2/2010 9:34 PM

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

@Dan:

Please check whether you have the "Routing Workflows" feature activated at the site collection level. This should solve the problem

By Maria on   8/2/2010 10:21 PM

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

@Maria

Thanks for the response. That makes sense, only problem is "Routing Workflows" is missing from Site Collection Administration > Features

Any ideas?

By Dan on   8/3/2010 11:02 AM

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

I could not install and use the template of the Help Desk by following the instructions. could help me on how to install the template? thank you.

Khalil,

I really only needed the HelpDesk, KnowledgeBase and TeamWorkSite templates for what i'm trying to accomplish.

All seems to be working for me, except the most important Template, which is the KnowledgeBase Template.

I followed the instructions and activated them.

I've created sites with HelpDesk and TeamWorkSite and I can create new parts and other things with them. I have no real issues.

The KnowledgeBase template, however, throws me 2 different errors when I click on 2 different links.

When clicking the "Write an Article" link, I get "Error, An unexpected error has occurred. " and a correlation ID.

When clicking the "Upload a Document" link, I get "Error, List does not exist. The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user."

This is after activating from the Solutions area and then creating a new site.

Do you have any information?

Thanks.

By ImMe on   8/5/2010 11:21 AM

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

By maria on   8/16/2010 1:14 AM

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

Hi Khalil - The other week I posted a comment on the DocumentLibraryReview template with the problem that the "Approval" and "Collect Feedback" workflows dont seem to exist. One response was to ensure that "Routing Workflows" is enabled. However I see "Routing Workflows" as a SharePoint 2007 feature but not in SP 2010.

On a side note, I directly asked Microsoft regarding if these templates would be created for 2010 by them, and while they did not have a final decision yet, they did direct me back to you.

By Dan on   8/16/2010 8:46 AM

I too got the "feature is not activated: 2acf27a5-f703-4277-9f5d-24d70110b18b" error, but I was trying to use Timecardmanagement. There was no readme in that .zip to follow. This was tried on a fresh Sharepoint 2010 standalone install. Any help guys?

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

I'm curious about the technical details on how you upgraded these templates. The server admin templates need the core application wsp first. The SPD workflows are tokenized and need a larder to be able to successfully associate with the list. Did you use the new site definition upgrade or feature upgrade tags? Please consider righting a blog post on how you did the upgrade.
Thanks

I've had to add a number of site collection features in my attempts to add the knowledgebase template. I am stuck though at af6d9aec-7c38-4dda-997f which would appear to be the module 'Web Analytics Customize Reports functionality'. Under site settings -> site collection features I have Advanced Web Analytics active, but I keep getting the same error. Any ideas?

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

I downloaded the Employee Training template and its missing two highly important lists. One is the "Courses I am attending" and the other is "Courses I have attended". Is there anyway you can include those in the WSP? Thanks and great work!

By Chris Sliga on   8/26/2010 12:02 AM

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

After upgrading site templates based on the IT Workspace the Knowledge Base Articles items from the Knowledge Base list will not render the field controls as they did in WSS 3.0. Also when attemting to create a new Knowledge base Article the page is empty (No field controls as well).

The Knowledge Base Article content type uses the "/_layouts/CreateWebPage.aspx" application page as its document template. The application page appears to have completely changed in SP 2010 to render as modal window asking only for the title of the page.

Thanks,

Jose Nava

By Jose Nava on   8/31/2010 9:59 AM

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

@Chris:
We have checked the “Employee Training” template, it doesn’t contain lists named “Courses I am Attending” and “Courses I have attended”. Actually these are Webparts named “Courses I am Attending” and “Courses I have attended”. This template contains Lists named “Courses” and “Registrations”, and “Courses I am Attending” and “Courses I have attended” are just Webparts, that filter-out items from these lists based on some criteria. These two web parts are available on the default page of the template. Can you see them on the default page or not?

Those two web parts are not available on the default page of the template. In addition, on the default page, those two web parts are listed by default with an error message below them that reads:

Courese Im Attending
"List does not exist. The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user."

Courese I Have Attended
"List does not exist. The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user."

Hi,

Great job, thank you.
I followed the instructions, the template works fine, but how can I resolve this problem: I have a site collection in MOSS 2007 with data using the Help Desk template. O already upgrade our Intranet to SharePoint 2010, but all my site collection based on Help Desk template (in this case) doesn't open.

Any one knows how to fix this?

Thank you, very much.

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

Now here is something very strange...
I recently did a complete install and configuration of SharePoint 2010 on a new server. Nothing was ported over from any existing databases. When I went to create a New Site in SP2010, magically, the Fab 40 templates were available in the silverlight widget under Application Templates. I did not install them, but they are there. Are they being included with the RTM installation?

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

@Everyone who is looking for the Knowledge base template:

The knowledge base template we created from scratch for SP 2010 was experiencing some issue on the Write an article link which was not getting the list ID properly. For that purpose, I have created a visual web part which can be installed using the customQuickLaunchAutomate.wsp file. Please re-download the knowledge base template from the blog, it will contain two wsp's now. One for the template and one for the visual web part.

Here is how to use the visual web part after you set up the site using the knowledgebase.wsp
• Deploy the customQuickLaunchAutomate.wsp on your farm
• Go to the home page of your knowledge base site and edit the page
• Add a new web part > From the Custom category > Choose updateQuickL web part and add it on your page
• Edit the web part properties and set it to Hidden
The quick launch issue will be resolved and you will be able to open the page using “Write an Article” link.

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

Apart from the "Write an Article" link, we have two issues:We ran into an issue where we can’t seem to check in a new article. Checking the properties of a new article, we noticed the Title field was not filled. So we entered a Title, but this was not enough to make the check-in work. The Article Content field also prevents the article from checking in. This field gives the following error: This field can have no more than 255 characters. Which is a very strange error, cause the field is actually empty.Second, we have some upgrade issues, cause in the 2007 site the column Article Content is filled with the content, and in the 2010 site, there is a new column called Wiki Content. When clicking an article from the migrated content, the article seems empty, cause the Wiki Content is shown and not the Article Content.Could you help us with these two issues? Thanks!

IT is my understanding that WSS 3.0 is ansestor of Foundatiomn 2010 so that one might expect that the templates should run.
Please help, thanks a lot

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

I kept getting an error on creating a site saying feature af6d9aec-7c38-4dda-997f-cc1ddbb87c92 wasn't active... First had to find WTH that was...

Found it here: blogs.msdn.com/b/mcsnoiwb/archive/2010/01/07/features-and-their-guid-s-in-sp2010.aspx
Turned
out to be a "Hidden" feature so I couldn't find an easy way to turn it on... Until I downloaded and found it with this AWESOME Sharepoint Manager tool... This thing ROCKS! I was able to quickly activate the feature (Web Analytics Customize Reports functionality) and was then able to create the site (CallCenter and HelpDesk).

Hi

Can we Use this application templates in sharepoint2010 standard edition? I tried it in Enterprise edition since your readme file indicates to enable "enterprise..." feature. It was working. But, it is not working in Standard Edition. It is showing some feature is not installed with the feature id.

I am too interested to know if these templates can be used in the SharePoint Foundation 2010.
Has anyone tried out yet. Success, failures, share any issues faced, resolutions, etc.?

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

@Everyone who is asking for the Foundation templates:
We have been sending individual responses to the requests for the Foundation server and so far we have received good response from them. We are planning to release the templates on our blog very soon.

@Aja: We will be putting up a separate post for the SP Foundation templates very soon so you can try those out and give us your feedback.

@Subhash: Please try the Foundation templates once they are uploaded. They would not require any of the enterprise features as pre requisites.

I have tried installing just the KnowledgeBase template from here in SharePoint 2010 and it doesn't seem to change any of the problems I was having with it.

I just followed the installation instructions for the Helpdesk template and it does not show up in the site creation dialog. My SP is 2010 Enterprise in Spanish.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried uninstalling the solution and reinstalling it?

@Michael:

In your work on these have you managed to put together a list of which templates require Enterprise features? If so, are you able to publish it? That would be extremely helpful. Thanks.

@Everyone who is receiving any feature related errors while setting up the templates:

Try using Sharepoint Manager 2010 which is located here: spm.codeplex.com/ and see which features you need to activate and how.

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

We're trying to use the Absence/VacationSchedule w/ SP2010 Standard Edition. The readme specifies activating "Sharepoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features." This doesn't exist in Standard Edition and I assume as a result causes the error "The site template requires the Feature {xyz} be installed in the farm or site collection.

Is Enterprise required to use these templates?

I just successfully installed the Help Desk template and haven't really done anything with it yet. Is it possible to email enable the Service Requests list so that people can email in their support requests?

I have incoming email enabled on my Sharepoint Farm but when I go into Site Settings, the options for Incoming Email are not showing.

Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

I am unable see the Application Template core installed in the create site collections tab of SharePoint Foudation 2010
I have followed these steps to install the application template core

To deploy the Application Template Core solution on a
server running Windows SharePoint Services, follow these
instructions.

1. Download the solution EXE file to your computer.
2. Run the EXE file to unpack the template file to a
location on your computer.
3. Select the solution file, ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp,
from the extracted distribution. This solution file
will be added to the Windows SharePoint Services
solution store.
4. Via command line, run "stsadm -o addsolution -filename
ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp"
5. Next, run "stsadm -o deploysolution -name
ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp -allowgacdeployment".
Additional attributes may be required based on your
Windows SharePoint Services configuration. For example:
Standalone: [ -local | -time ]
Farm: [ -immediate | -time ]
6. Run "stsadm -o copyappbincontent"
7. The Application Template Core solution has now been
added to the solution store, and deployed on the server.

Please do the need full to resolve the issue.
Thanking You

Re: Fab 40 Templates for MOSS 2010

@Jan Vincent:

You have to first install SMTP service on the SharePoint server. Once STMP is configured, you have to then set “Incoming e-mail settings” in Central Administration. Then you have to create the email account that you will use for that SharePoint Library. You can either manually create the user account in AD or you can automate SharePoint to create the account for you (in this case, you must point to an AD container through SharePoint Central Administration).

Also, you can only email-enable certain types of lists. Announcement, Calendar, and Discussion Board are among the selective few. Email enabling does not work with custom lists as far as i know.

I have learned some new items from your web site about pcs. Another thing I have always thought is that computer systems have become a specific thing that each residence must have for most reasons. They provide convenient ways to organize the home, pay bills, shop, study, tune in to music as well as watch television shows. An innovative method to complete every one of these tasks is a computer. These pcs are mobile, small, powerful and lightweight.
