WSS 3.0 / MOSS 2007 - cant create lists in custom built sitetemplate

Asked By: Grayson Conrad Date: Dec 23, 2007 Category: MOSS Views: 353

I have built some custom sitetemplates in CAML (onet.xml). But in my sites that
is built on these sitetemplates I cant create any lists.

I thought it was the <ListTemplates><ListTemplate> elements in onet.xml that
made this function. But I cant get it to work.

If I want to be able to create a documentlibrary in a site of my sitetemplate,
how should I write my onet.xml, what should I include?

Normally the <ListTemplates> section of the ONET.xml file is left empty in a
2007 site. This is primarily for backwards compatibility. In 2003 this section
was used to reference the Schema for all the lists that you would like
available. In 2007 these Schemas are all loaded through centralized Features.

So the answer is don't do anything unless you are trying to load a custom list
definition. All the standard List Templates will be loaded automatically.
Leave the <ListTemplates> section empty.

Your answer made me see - I have to put the "Team Collaboration" feature to the
webfeatures element. Then the "Team Collaboration" feature is activated by
default and I can create the lists.
