We released DualLayout which enables advanced web design with the power of SharePoint.

DualLayout and a demo site can be downloaded from the DualLayout product page.

This blogpost contains detailed instructions on installing the demo site.

The demo site is based on the site http://opensourcefood.com. The demo site requires internet access because it still links to pages and resources of the real site.

Execute the following steps to install the demo site:

  • Copy the OpenSourceFoodDemo.zip file to your SharePoint Server 2010
  • Make sure that the zip file in “unblocked”, otherwise files are assumed from other computer (right-click on zip file, press “Unblock” button if available)
  • Unzip the OpenSourceFoodDemo.zip to a folder of your choice (c:\OpenSourceFoodDemo)
  • Open the SharePoint  Start->Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products->SharePoint 2010 Management Shell
  • Change directory to the unzip folder (cd c:\OpenSourceFoodDemo)
  • Start install script: .\InstallDemoSite.ps1
  • Answer the questions, default values in most cases ok. A little guidance:
    • Question: Give credentials for the account that will be used for the application pool
      Answer: use for example same account as used for the application pool of your SharePoint site (lookup in IIS Manager)
    • Question: Give credentials for the account that will be used for the application pool
      Answer: Use same account you are currently logged in with

The demo site is made available through a backup and restore. The SharePoint Server 2010 installation must be patched to a level equal or higher to the update level on the SharePoint Server used to create the backup.

If you get errors with respect to restore check http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/ff800847.aspx for downloading the latest cumulative update.
