Solution Not Deploying Master Pages To Feature Directory

Asked By: Erik Flores Date: Oct 11, 2008 Category: Sharepoint Views: 221

I've a Solution here that deploys a Feature. This Feature is to
install 2 custom Master Pages.

When I deploy the Solution, the correct directory is created under
the FEATURES folder in the 12 HIVE, however, only the feature.xml and
the elements.xml file are placed there. Neither of the 2 Master
Pages are placed there. Below find the contents my .DDF. What am I
missing to make sure the Master Pages are placed in the Feature's
folder?

I suspect the problem is in your Manifest.xml, not your DDF. Do you have either
a <RootFiles> entry or a <TemplateFiles> entry for the two masterpages in the
Manifest.xml? They won't be deployed by the solution just because they are
referenced in the Feature like the elements.xml file is. They need to be placed
in the correct Features folder by the manifest.xml.

Isn't this always the case? Wrack my brain trying to figure it out,
post a question, and then I find it...

I was missing the following from in my feature.xml file, under the
<ElementManifests> node...

<ElementFile Location="neuromedSite.master"/>
