Hi I its a great article.I have one question however.I have designed a custom master page without using the designer.Now since I do not want users to be able to tinker with my custom master page in any way I want to disable the master page selection link in Site Actions>> Site Settings>>Look and Feel>> Master Page link.How can I do that? Could you please help me?

Hi Greg,

Thanks a lot for your suggestion.I managed to hide the link in another way though.I modified custom action settings in the manifest files of SiteSettings,Publishing and Publishing resources features to drop the links.What do you think about this way and the next question that arises is Can I add the links back for a particular site collection once I have dropped them by modifying the aforesaid features.Could you please suggest a method to unhide the links which I dropped using customaction tags of Sitesettings, Publishing and PublishingResources features.

Well I did modify the files in the features folder ie I modified the Publishing,PublishingResources and SiteSettings features(Changed tags in associated xml files) .So what you are suggesting is I create custom featurs and modify them?

I am facing another problem Greg.This time its to do with custom groups and permission levels.I want to create custom groups and permision levels.In order to accomplish this I am using an XML config file for specifying custom groups and permission levels and I am using SPFeatureReceiver to create the custom stuff during portal creation by referring to this feature from my onet.xml. The problem is even though I am using Properties["vti_associatevisitorgroup"] = group.ID.ToString() to hide Visitors ,Members and Owners(default groups), these are persisting after the collaboration portal gets created.Whats really beats me is its all working finne with team sites.The problem is cropping up for the collaboration portal alone.Please help me out.I am in a bad stuck.

Hi Greg,
I will bother you once more.All your previous suggestions were so helpful.I want to have certain fetaures activated by default when I create a site collection.Is there a way to do this?
