Any open source Migration tools that save Site as Template?

Question

We've deployed software in our SharePoint environment that leverages publishing. With publishing enabled you lose the ability to save Site as a Template. Are there any open source tools (perhaps migration tools) that perform this same function?

Thanks!

Answer 2

1- Open the site with SharePoint Designer

2-In the ribbon go to Site Options

3-Locate the option SaveSiteAsTemplateEnabled and modify the value to true

4-Since the site template is disabled in the Publishing sites the option Save Site as Template is not available in the Site Settings you will need to navigate to the page directly: http://yourdomain.sharepoint.com/_layouts/savetmpl.aspx

5-Provide all the details and click OK after a couple of minutes you will have the WSP site template generated

Note: If you have apps downloaded from the store they could prevent you to save the site as a template if you are facing this scenario you will need to uninstall the apps first.

6-Open the Solution Gallery and click in the template name to download the wsp file containing the site template
