R – SharePoint Site Definition Files — Page is always named “Home”

sharepoint

I'm creating new Site Definitions using this method:

http://weblogs.asp.net/paulballard/archive/2007/04/09/creating-a-custom-sharepoint-2007-portal-site-definition-using-the-portalprovisioningprovider-class.aspx

and when they get created, they're not using the "Title" of the Site as I'd expect, instead they all say "Home".

In my SiteTemplates/customsite/onet.xml file I'm using the following:

<Module Name="LifeWork" Url="$Resources:cmscore,List_Pages_UrlName;" Path="">
      <File Url="default.aspx" Type="GhostableInLibrary" Level="Draft">
        <Property Name="Title" Value="$Resources:cmscore,IPPT_HomeWelcomePage_Title;" />
        <Property Name="PublishingPageLayout" Value="~SiteCollection/_catalogs/masterpage/LifeWork.aspx, Life &amp; Work Page Layout" />
        <Property Name="ContentType" Value="LifeWork" />
        <Property Name="PublishingAssociatedContentType" Value=";#NibrLifeWork;#0x010100C568DB52D9D0A14D9B2FDCC96666E9F2007948130EC3DB064584E219954237AF3900B92C2841B98136F108;#" />
      </File>
    </Module>

So I see that it's pulling Home from the resource file, but I thought it should also append the Title of the Site into the Title of the page. Is this correct?

Well it depends how the page is designed. If you look at the page LifeWork.aspx there will be a contentplaceholder for the Title. Based on what value you place there your page will get that value. For example few pages has the 

<SharePoint:FieldValue ID="x" FieldName="Title" .......

Some has site name appened to it. Look in that tag you can get what you want.
