Adding Web Part Zone to default.aspx in Site Definition

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Having difficulty adding a new web part zone to default.aspx in a custom site
definition. We're trying to put the image web part in place of the home logo
that is above the Quick Launch nav. The <form> and </form> tags have both
been moved next to the opening and closing <body> tags in the page, and
appear to be balanced. However, when the a site is generated from the
template, the follwoing error appears:
*************************
An unexpected error has occurred.

Web Parts Maintenance Page: If you have permission, you can use this page to
temporarily disable Web Parts or remove personal settings. For more
information, contact your site administrator.
*************************

Anyone have any idea what we're doing wrong?

I think I was having the same sorta issue, maybe someone has some input. I
copied the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\60\TEMPLATE\1033\STS folder to a new one and then when I opened
the default.aspx of STSNEW in frontpage it didn't show any webpart zones and
it broke QuickLaunch bar. Is there a better way to modify the default
templates ?

I haven't run into that problem. In my default.aspx file, the default zones
are there. Only when I try to add a zone above the Quick Launch does the
error get thrown.

I am having the same problem, did you ever find a fix ? I can add
the web part zone just fine via Front Page (right above the quick
launch bar) but it just won't take it if I change the site template.
I get the same error message.

To Add a Web Part Zone above the Quick Launch nav you must first
remove the form in the page and put a form runat="server" between
<body> and </body> to put everything in.
The problem is that Quick Launch nav use
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.LCID and you
cant use this in a form. What you can do it's just replace it by 1033
or you can create a function in javascript like me at the top of the
page (not in the form) to redirect with the
<%=System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.LCID%>
parameters. After this, you will be able to put a web part zone above
the Quick Launch nav.

Jonathan, I just gave it a shot, and that did indeed fix the problem.
Thanks for posting, you've saved me a lot of work!

Would either of you care to put this into the kind of simple language (and
complete detail) I need to enable me to put this in section IV of the WSS
FAQ ?
