[Using Sakai] Site templates and site types

[Rafael Morales]

Hello,

Thank you. Now I can create sites of types other than the predefined 
ones, but I got a bit confused about the relationship between the reg 
files (one per tool), the toolOrder.xml file and the realms for sites. 
For example, if a create a site of a new type, based on a new realm that 
includes a tool whose reg file I haven't modified (i.e. no category for 
the new site type), wold the tool appear in the new site's menu and be 
usable? What about the other way round (the reg files includes the new 
site type, but the new realm doesn't)?

Regards,
Rafael
