Create a list definition without a Custom Content Type

I am trying to deploy two custom list definitions using only one single feature.  Below are the details of my issue.

• Two custom list definitions
• Each custom list definition has its own custom content type
• Each custom content type inherits from the base content type Picture (Type = 109)
• The custom list definitions are grouped together under one single feature
• The custom content types are grouped together under a seperate single feature

When I deploy my solution in this configuration, the second list definition gets the first custom content type applied to it and the list schema from the first list definition is also applied to the second list definition.

What makes this more interesting, when I seperate both of the list definitions under two seperate features it all works fine.  Custom content types and list schemas get applied correctly.

Can anyone tell me why I can not deploy both list definitions under one single feature?

If you need me to post any of the origional code or XML to this post please let me know.

I have an external list setup with the usual CRUD methods.  The external SQL table is also being populated by another source.  I want to enable/disable deleting depending on whether the record was created from SharePoint.  I would also like the normal list permissions to work.  So if a user has permissions to delete on the list, they can only delete items created for SharePoint. 

Where should this logic be incorporated?  On the BCS Delete method, somewhere in the External Content Type or on the list instance?  Most examples I find relate to security trimming for search.  I'm only concerned about the delete method.

I'm sure there are multiple ways to accomplish this.  Which is the best?

Thanks,

I have an External Content Type list instance feature in Visual Studio. Deploying the instance works fine. However, I can't create a custom action using RegistrationId="{$ListId:Lists/yourlistname;}" RegistrationType="List"

Even if I specify the list Id as follows RegistrationId="{8F595340-5D08-4287-8BF6-30D50989D2F4}" or RegistrationId="8F595340-5D08-4287-8BF6-30D50989D2F4" I get nothing.

However, RegistrationId="600" works fine, but for all External Content Type lists.

I added the custom action with SharePoint Designer and it works as expected. When I generate a site template and import it into Visual Studio, the custom action uses RegistrationId="{$ListId:Lists/yourlistname;}" RegistrationType="List"

Creating a new site based on the site template creates the custom action correctly. However, deploying just the custom action does not work (feature deploys, but no custom action appears). I also tried RegistrationId="0x0100D67E541CC4BB6A4A9D62D22657ECFF68" RegistrationType="ContentType" with no luck. The content type id was pulled from the list instance using the object model.

I have to tie the custom action to a specific list instance. Because the li

Hello,

I have developed a custom sequential workflow. I have also developed a custom content type derived from Workflow Task Content Type.

I have 1 TaskEditForm.aspx in this custom Content Type. The custom Content Type is getting associated with the Tasks List but when I click EditItem option in ECB Menu or Ribbon,the in-built EditForm.aspx gets displayed instead of displaying my custom TaskEditForm.aspx from the custom Content Type.

Can anybody help?

Thanks...

I currently have two tables in a SQL Server 2k8 database: Locations and Customers

The fields in the Locations table are:

• LocationName
• StreetAddress
• City
• State
• ZIP
• CusotmerID (foreign key joined to Customers table)

The fields in the Customers table are:

• ID (primary key)
• CustomerName
• CurrentBalance

Through SharePoint Designer, I have both tables set up as External Content Types of the same names as the tables and have created External Lists for each External Content Type. All CRUD operations are working perfectly. I added the proper Assocaiation and I've set CustomerName to be the Title of the Customers External Content Type. I can currently use a picker for CustomerID in the Locations List and CustomerName is displayed properly. Also, the default DispForm also correctly displays the CustomerName for any single Location record.

However, I would like to modify the default ReadList so the foreign key (CustomerID) will show the Title field of Customers (CustomerName). However, I am running into trouble finding out how to do this.

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

Hi,

i want to create a WorkFlow by VS2008 and i want to use custom content type for the tasks, and i want to build this cutome content type by Aspx form but i don't know how, any ideas ??

Thanks for all.

How to create a custom content type with own custom view ,add, edit and delete form in sharepoint foundation server 2010 using visual studio 2010?

I donot want to use default form "form.aspx".

we can use my custom form in place of "form.aspx"?

Either I don't know what SharePoint is doing or I don't know what I'm doing (or both, which is more likely).

I'm attempting to create a Custom Document Library template with a custom content type association (Custom Document), all using a feature. When I create
a document library based on the installed template, the content type association is there. However, when I click on New Custom Document, the template.dotx does not reflect the Custom Document content type association. The Word document information panel does not show any Custom Document content type properties (like Title and Comments).

Here are the steps I've taken:

1. Create the feature.xml with element manifests of contentType.xml and CustomDocumentLibrary.xml
2. Create the contentType.xml (Custom Document) with an additional field reference for Comments
3. Create the CustomDocumentLibrary.xml for the list template
4. Create a Custom Document Library subfolder that contains the same files that are in the 12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\DocumentLibrary\doclib folder.
5. Edit the schema.xml to use the new content type and field reference
6. Deploy and activate the feature
7. Create a new "Custom Document Library"
8. Go to Custom Document Library Settings and verify the Custom Document content type is being used
9. Click on New Custom D

I created a content type using Site UI named "ContentTypeA"

I added a column named "ColA" to ContentTypeA.

In VS 2010, I created a new List Definition

Under Schema.xml .. I added the "ContentTypeA" GUID. (I got the GUID by open the Content Type in SharePoint Designer)

Under Schema.xml I also added "Field" for "ColA"

Then I deployed the solution.

Result.

It created a ListInstance for me named "MyList" but when I select List Settings.. I don't see "ContentTypeA" rather I see "MyList" under ContentType.

Do you know what I am doing wrong?

Hi all,

First of all I am sorry for my poor english.

I have a custom list definition and I have mentioned two content types in the "Schema.xml" file of this list. I need to change the order of fields in NewForm.aspx and EditForm.aspx.

For e.g. I have two content types ContentType1 and ContentType2. ContentType2 is inheriting ContentType1.

Fields of ContentType1 are

1. Field1

2. Field2

and Fields of ContentType2 are

1. Field3

2 Field4

When these fields display on new form the order of fields is

1. Field1

2. Field2

3. Field3

4. Field4

But I need to change the order of field by

1. Field1

2. Field3

3. Field2

4. Field4

Can anyone help me to change the display order of fields in new and edit form?

Thanks & Regards,

I am getting "A duplication content type name 'Approval' was found" error, when I try to create a new site based on a custom template.  These are the steps that result in the error:

1. Create a new blank site.
2. Without making any changes, save the blank site as a site template called "test".
3. Try to create a new site based on the "test" template.
4. Get the above error.

I did notice that when I tried creating site from the template in a different area of my site collection, the error name changed from "Approval" to "Requestor". 

As it stands I cannot use custom templates in my site collection.  Any advice on how to overcome this error?
