	Adding a Site Type by Brian Sawert :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I read the helpful SakaiPedia entry "Adding a Site Type," and the comments attached to SAK-11479, but I still have questions about the implications of creating a new site type. I hope someone can shed some light on the subject. If I want to define a site type, "special," I can edit sakai.sitesetup.xml, sakai.siteinfo.xml, toolOrder.xml and any other tool registration files that I want associated with my "special" site category. Or I can define the site type in sakai.properties, and get different behavior - no tool associations, no default tool set presented in Worksite Setup. And there may be other side effects that I'm not aware of. Which is the preferred method for defining a new site type? What specific differences will I need to address if I choose one over the other?

If you just add a new type in the sakai.properties file, that type won't really be completely added as you've seen.
