Missing Slide Library

Publishing sites. Arg! Now the slide library is missing!

Go to Site actions, Site settings and under Site Actions heading click Manage site features. Activate SharePoint Server Standard Site features.

Done.

SharePoint 2010 missing list/site templates

Here’s a strange one for you. If you create a standard publishing site in SharePoint 2010, you don’t get any of the list templates except import spreadsheet. Why? Because the site doesn’t default to turning on the Team Collaboration Lists feature. Bummer. Go to Site Actions, Site Settings, and, under the Site Actions column, pick Manage Site Features.

When you get to that page, scroll down to Team Collaboration Lists and activate that feature. Done.

While your at it, you might want to go under Look and Feel and click on the Page layouts and site templates link. Make sure all the site templates you want are added to the list.

I told you: I hated publishing sites.
