Feature with scope Web only on RootWeb

Question

I have just a small Question: Can I tell a feature with scope "Web" only to be activated on the RootWeb in Feature.Template.xml?

Something like

RootWebOnly="TRUE"

I have a listInstance (ConnectionLibrary) and a module with RootWebOnly="TRUE". Sure i can just change the scope to site and remove the RootWebOnly attribute, but i don't want to. I'm just curious if its possible to do that.

Answer 1

Set the scope to Scope="Site" and in the code make sure that whatever changes you make always point to SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb(). If done correctly, it should only affect the rootweb as wanted.

Answer 2

I think it's impossible to do that, but it means that you want to do something on the site collection (the root web is the root of the site collection).

Answer 3

Logically, I am not sure if this is possible or not. May be we can restrict our code to SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb() only but still..
