When creating an organization site with a site template, an option to disable propagation of changes should be provided

Description

When creating a regular site from the Control Panel using a site template a checkbox allows enabling or disabling the propagation of changes from the site template. But when creating a site from the organization edit form this option is not shown and the default is to enable such propagation.

While it is possible to disable the propagation later through the Site Settings, this is quite annoying for users specially those migrating from 6.0 which were used to not having propagation at all.

The solution should be to show the checkbox so that the org administrator can decide what he wants.

Great to hear Henri. Thanks for confirming it.

The workaround Jorge describes works. You can just add two hidden input-elements with value false for private and public sites. This will set the propagation disabled.

The workaround for this bug for cases in which it is always desired to disable propagation of changes is to override the file html/portlet/users_admin/organization/organization_site.jsp and pass that parameter to the action hardcoded. The action is already prepared to read parameters called publicLayoutSetPrototypeLinkEnabled and privateLayoutSetPrototypeLinkEnabled. Set them to false to disable propagation.
