This is a “quick hack” to change the layout of a search result page.
When the Publishing-Feature is disabled you are not able to change the layout via the UI. If you add a new page via “Create page” chances are high that you get a layout you don’t want.
Powershell comes to the rescue …
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell -ea SilentlyContinue clear $w = Get-SPWeb http://path/to/website $pages = $w.Lists["Pages"] foreach($p in $pages.Items) { # Condition can be arbitrary if($p.Title -eq "My Title") { $p.File.CheckOut() $p["PublishingPageLayout"] = "http://server/_catalogs/masterpage/searchresults.aspx" $p.Update() $p.File.CheckIn("Update page-layout via powershell") } } |
