title: Sharepoint: Modify the page template of views
body: <p>I have a sharepoint list with several views. I can modify the view pages (such as AllItems.aspx) via the sharepoint designer. However I would prefer to modify the underlying template instead.</p>
  
  <p>Now I could directly modify the default view page template located in <em>templates\pages\viewpage.aspx</em> but this would affect the whole sharepoint installation.</p>
  
  <p>I would rather make a copy of this template and make my list (or views) point to it. Is there a way I can accomplish this? </p>
  
  <p>Note: The list/views were created via the Web UI without any custom XML.</p>
