Create a custom site

[artemas]

Hi I'm new to alfresco and I wanted to know how I can create a custom site. Currently I am using my Alfresco SDK 3.0. At the moment from what I have researched I know that I need to have a custom-site.xml within my directory: vanilla-alfresco/vanilla-alfresco-platform-jar/src/main/resources/alfresco/module/vanilla-alfresco-platform-jar/bootstrap

My question is, how can I generate this custom-site.xml. What are the steps to generate this file? I have seen examples of other people's custom-site.xml it seems to be a massive xml that must be generated from somewhere. If I know the steps to generate this that would be fantastic.

I suspect the customer will eventually run into limitations using data lists, but if they are happy with the approach, go for it!

If you still need to meet the dashboard requirement, you should be able to write a custom dashlet fairly easily that can save data into your datalist.
