1.Office SharePoint Server Site Element

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 has two types of elements:

Authored elements: Web pages, images, Layout pages, CSS styles, and other elements of the site you create, such as these elements are contained in SQL database (and, of course, in some cases, on the front-end server).

Development elements: Include programs and files that provide functionality to the site, such as workflows for business logic, and special site templates. These elements are on the Web server where the service farm (farm) is deployed

2: Authoring elements: Items and Web page content elements

Projects: The most typical is the appearance of some layout and some pages created through SharePoint Designer, and they will create a display frame for the content of the site.

Web content elements: Simply the elements that are created through the SharePoint site or Office Word 2007, such as Web pages and images, and so on, they provide the content of the Web site

Project: Project is the basic Creative website element, used to design and build the publishing site. For example, the company's Internet presence or corporate intranet site. These elements provide a display framework for Web pages, including logo,layouts, navigation, and other elements. Even in unpublished sites, custom projects can make your site more appealing. When you create a site using SharePoint Server 2007, Some elements have already been initialized. You can modify or add some elements by using the Office SharePoint Server 2007 User interface or SharePoint Designer.

In the following sections, we describe the next three types of customizable items.

Master pages (template pages)

Like the template page in asp.net2.0, Master page provides a unified look-and-feel style for the publishing site. It contains the features that all Web pages share (such as the navigation bar), and it also provides a place to control all of the features. Typically a site contains a template page (although large Site may have multiple sites. For example, a site used to display many products may use different template pages to display different products, so that customers can deepen the impression of the product.

Note: There are two types of template pages, one is the site template page and the System template page. The difference is simple, site template pages are used for publishing sites, and system template pages are used to provide commands, such as document settings.

Storage: All template pages for a site collection are stored in the Template page gallery of the top-level Web site for that site collection. Because the template page is also a SharePoint library, it has all the features of the SharePoint Server2007 Chinese file, including versioning, auditing, workflows, check-in and check out and content approval.
