Controlling the Depth and Width of subsites

Question

Is it possible to configure a web application / site collection to only allow say 4 levels of sub sites and limit each level to having say 5 subsites?

Thanks

Answer 1

You can create an event receiver on the WebAdding event that figures out how many levels deep your site is, or how many sibling sites the new site will have, and then you can throw an error preventing the web from actually being added if certain criteria is met.

Hi

one way is to create site/subsite usign powershell script

In this script, before creating it, it should calculate and validate your conditions, and only if it's true, create the subsite
