I came across these notes on creating custom list templates when I was searching for a quick reference on list types and base type definitions to use in the CAML ListTemplate element. I copied them verbatim here for my reference. The original post can be found here: http://karinebosch.wordpress.com/walkthroughs/create-custom-list-templates-in-caml/
Important details to note are:
- FeatureId (optional): This is the ID of the feature in which the list template is defined
- BaseType (required): Specifies the base type, or default schema, for lists created using this template. See the table below for the 5 possibilities.
- Type: this is the template type on which the new list template is based. Se the table below for all base types of standard SharePoint list templates.
- DisplayName: the display name of the list template.
More details can be found in André Vala’s post.
The following table lists the 5 base types:

I recently had to integrate jCarousel into a SharePoint web part. Since jCarousel is a plugin for jQuery, it means I also had to get jQuery integrated with SharePoint. In order to accomplish this, I followed some good feature packaging instructions found from a few different blog posts:
After figuring out how to package jCarousel and jQuery using SharePoint delegate controls, I was ready for business with the implementation of the web part.
The web part itself was nothing fancy. I used a Repeater control to generate the list item (LI) elements with the content I needed in the carousel. I wrapped the Repeater in an unordered list (UL) which was wrapped in a DIV tag that had the runat attribute set to server. So basically, I just followed the mark up instructions provided in the jCarousel documentation.
The wrapping DIV tag was used in my webpart code to initialize jCarousel. The code snippet below shows how I implemented it:
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.ClientScript.IsStartupScriptRegistered(this.GetType(), this.ClientID))
{
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), this.ClientID, @"
<script type=""text/javascript"">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('#" + carouselDiv.ClientID + @"').jcarousel({
// Configuration goes here
vertical: true,
scroll: 2,
visible: 4
});
});
</script>
");
}
}
Recently, I needed to update my local installation of Ruby and Rails to versions 1.8.7 and 2.3.2 respectively on an iMac at home. I am bit rusty on some of my *nix skills since I have been working in predominantly Microsoft based environment for a significant amount of time. Thankfully, I found a great step-by-step how-to blog post that walked me through the process flawlessly.
Sometimes, I have a bit of free time. Over the last few months, I have spent a few moments on some old projects of mine that have been essentially abandoned. These projects (which I may mention at some later date since they are not complete at this time) use some open source technologies since I can’t afford to personally purchase licensing for most of the technologies that I use professionally. In any case, I have spent some time getting reacquainted with Ruby on Rails. During this learning journey, I have come across a plethora of information (some good, some bad) that have helped me get familiar with this technology again. And now I will share these resources with you…
- Ruby on Rails – The official web site has tons of goodies such as downloads, documentation, guides. This is a great place to get started.
- Railscasts – The best source I found with free Ruby on Rails screen-casts.
Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 have been officially annouced and are available for download from the Microsoft Download Center. I ran across the annoucement on the Microsoft SharePoint Team Blog where you can find links to the knowledgebase articles, downloads, and other resources including installation instructions. Below are quick links for the downloads:
