Creating a sharepoint site definition using onet.xml and site templates

Question

Im starting to develop a site definition using this tutorial http://vimeo.com/23670570 (which I found a good starting point. But lacks more detailed explanation). Everywhere I look in the onet.xml (copied from blog) I see declarations such as

Url="$Resources:core,lists_Folder;/$Resources:core,blogcatagories_Folder;"

My question is how do these resolve? Are these declared somewhere as constants? and how do I go about creating my own location in my project?

I hope I have explained myself clearly enough happy to provide more information if required.

ok thanks to @timetothine i can now definativley say that the $Resources part resolves to the resources folder ie on 2010

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\Resources

and the :core is the resx file ran in that folder. The only question mark that remains is the

,lists_Folder

and

blogcateagories_Folder;

where are these two defined?

Are they input params to the resx?

how do I define my own Folder?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I guess your confused with $Resources:core, You can access them from 12 hive, In my case they are all located in this folder location

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\Resources
