Creator PDF-417 2d barcode in Font Figure 1-5. WEBTEMP .XML and ONET.XML are related by the Configuration element.

The Configurations element is used as a child of the Project element and contains the set of Configuration elements that are related to the configurations specified in the web template file. Each Configuration element in turn contains Lists and Modules elements that define the components that make up the site. The Lists element has no attributes, but contains a set of List elements that define the lists that will be initially created with the site. In the default configuration for a standard WSS site, a discussion forum is created automatically. Table 1-10 displays the attributes of the List element. In keeping with my desire to eliminate the discussion forum from my customized site template, I can simply delete this List element from the configuration. Table 1-10. The List Element

Set to Integer to store integer values for the list, or Text to store text values. True specifies that the list is created when a new site is created. A description of the list. Sets the reading order of the list. Can be set to none, RTL (right-to-left), or LTR (left-to-right). True prevents the use of attachments with the list. Specifies the strong name of an assembly that receives events from this list. This only applies to Document Libraries. Specifies the fully qualified, case-sensitive name of a class that implements the IListEventSink interface to receive list events. This only applies to Document Libraries. Sets a text value that is passed to the assembly referenced in the EventSinkAssembly attribute when a list event occurs. This only applies to Document Libraries. The name of the list. True allows users to reorder the list. True specifies that the list is private to the site. Sets the name of the page to open when the list is accessed from a quick launch area. True specifies that the list only belongs to the top-level site in the collection. Sets the size of the thumbnail images for a picture library. The title of the list.

Specifies the type of list. Possible values are: 100 Generic list, 101 Document library, 102 Survey, 103 Links, 104 Announcements, 105 Contacts, 106 Events, 107 Tasks, 108 Discussion, 109 Picture library, 110 Data sources, 111 Site template gallery, 113 Web Part gallery, 114 List template gallery, 115 InfoPath Form library, 120 Custom grid, 200 Meeting Series, 201 Meeting Agenda, 202 Meeting Attendees, 204 Meeting Decisions, 207 Meeting Objectives, 210 Meeting text box, 211 Meeting Things To Bring, 212 Meeting Workspace Pages, 300 Portal Sites list, 1100 Issue tracking, 2002 Personal document library, and 2003 Private document library. Specifies the folder where the list definition can be found within the site defection folder. True to encode the URL. True specifies that versioning on the library is enabled by default. Sets the height of an image in a Picture Library. Sets the width of an image in a Picture Library.

The Modules element is used in two different places inside of the ONET.XML file. It can be a child element of either the Project element or the Configuration element. When used as a child of the Project element, the Modules element specifies components, such as web parts, to include in the site definition. When used as a child of the Configuration element, the Modules element ties a specific module to a site configuration. The Modules element has no attributes but contains a set of Module elements. When used as a child of the Project element, the Module element contains a set of File elements that define external files that are part of the site definition. These external files can be either ASP .NET files or web part description files. Listing 1-6 shows two module definitions. One creates a home page for the site and the other adds several web part description files to the site. Listing 1-6.
