Customizing Departments on the Intranet Portal site

A client is requesting that we change the default sections for a department website. I've created a department site with the appropriate sections and created a copy named "Template". My hope was when an administrator creates a new department site, it would generate all of the pages from the template. This is not the case and it looks like I need to modify the "Department Sections Manager" in the Department document but I'm not sure how to do this, or if this is the correct course of action.

RE:Customizing Departments on the Intranet Portal site

Hello,

It is enough to add a new "section" - a new document to the template section. The "Department Sections Manager" uses this code to get its content:

string templatePath = DepartmentTemplatePath;
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(templatePath))
{
templatePath = TreePathUtils.EnsureSingleNodePath(templatePath).TrimEnd('/') + "/%";
mTemplateDocuments = DocumentHelper.GetDocuments(CMSContext.CurrentSiteName, templatePath, null, false, null, "NodeAlias != ''", "NodeOrder ASC", 1, false, 0, "NodeID, DocumentCulture, NodeAlias, NodeClassID", null);
}

You can set up DepartmentTemplatePath in Site manager -> Settings -> Site: your site -> Intranet & Collaboration.

Can you check it? You may need to restart the application in Site manager -> Administration -> System after a change.

Best regards,
Helena Grulichova

Is it possible that i can add my own through the portal engine called "library services", that is a basic webpage?
