In my last article I looked how you can customize the masterpage of SharePoint list item form pages (edit/view/new). This is particularly helpful when you need to create a print view for display.aspx or have additional webpart zones and webparts on your edit page. In this article we`ll take a look at how we can associate our custom pages as a default pages for lists that are created.
Assuming we already have a custom page for NewItem and EditItem, here is how we`re going to define them when creating a list, inside feature.xml:
<Elements xmlns=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/”>
<ListTemplate
Name=”MyList”
Type=”2100″
BaseType=”1″
OnQuickLaunch=”TRUE”
SecurityBits=”11″
DisplayName=”My Custom List”
NewPage=”MyNewList.aspx”
EditPage=”MyEditList.aspx”
Description=”My description…”
Image=”/_layouts/images/itsl.gif”
DocumentTemplate=”100″>
</ListTemplate>
</Elements>
In this case when the list is created it will use our own MyNewList.aspx and MyEditList.aspx to handle the logic.
Here is some additional information from MSDN on the topic.
