Creating Meeting Workspace - Unwanted Top Nav Bar Shortcut

Question

I have a calendar and when an event is created the users usually choose to create a meeting workspace. This all works fine, however, the creation of the workspace subsite also creates a link in the Top Navigation Bar dropdown, which I DO NOT want. I know I can delete it in Site Settings but I don't really want to have to delete meeting workspace links on a daily basis.

Is there a way to create the workspace without a shortcut to it appearing in the Top Navigation Bar dropdown? A solution that is code free would be pretty great! (I am using SP Server 2010)

Answer 1

That is because in the Meeting Workspace sitetemplate (onet.xml) there is an entry for a NavBarLink. You could make a webtemplate of your Meeting workspace and customize it anyway you like it, ofcourse this is not code-free but gives you total control of your meeting workspaces.

Answer 2

Can't seem to find a solution but I did find a work around. I created a sub site of the subsite of my SharePoint site :p and I created the Event Calendar as part of that subsite. Since I only have a 2 tier drop down menu system the workspaces that are created on the third tier will not be displayed OR I can just uncheck 'Show Subsites' under Site Settings -> Navigation and I get the same effect, no shortcuts in the dropdowns for the workspaces created as part of the calendar events.
