The site templates can be directly uploaded into “Site Template Gallery” in root site collection. If you want to deploy the Site Template at the SharePoint Farm Level. Use stsadm -addtemplate to upload the stp file.
Syntax:
Stsadm -o addtemplate -filename <filename> -title <title of template> -description <description of template>
Example:
Stsadm -o addtemplate -filename cksuge.stp -title “UserGroup Template” -description “CKS User group Template”
Now I could see the Site template displayed at Farm level.
I,
STP should be installed
Advice information thanks
