Dec 6, 2010 at 15:49 comment added James Love Yeah no worries. It really isn't too difficult if you have VS and WSPBuilder, plus learning to do it is an invaluable skill to have in your SharePoint toolbox, particularly when you move to 2010.

Dec 6, 2010 at 15:17 comment added iOnline247 Got my work cut out for me, but I need to do this. It's one of the puzzle pieces in the problem we Skype'd about. Really appreciate it James.

Dec 6, 2010 at 14:37 comment added James Love Creating a Feature which deploys a list template isn't terribly difficult - here's a good run-through: andrewconnell.com/blog/archive/2009/02/08/… - again, use the 12-hive folder hierarchy in your project and WSPBuilder should make the packaging/deploying a lot simpler.
Dec 6, 2010 at 14:05 comment added iOnline247 I have full control of the farm, but wouldn't know how to create and deploy a feature. Is this something easy to do or is it overly SharePointesque complex?
Dec 6, 2010 at 8:51 comment added James Love Ah, in that case the template ID is defined when you declaratively (or programmatically) create the list via XML. Are you able to create & deploy a feature which creates your list template?
Dec 5, 2010 at 20:38 comment added iOnline247 I just checked the templateID from the Query String and it's based on the original template I used to build the list. So in my case, I started with a custom list, modified my list accordingly and attached the workflows. When going to create a new list from this template, the templateID is 100. The same as a custom list. I'm a bit lost as to where to go from here. How can I take a list template and register it?
Dec 3, 2010 at 18:43 comment added James Love Go to create an instance of your list manually from Site Settings -> Create... You'll see the ListTemplate= in the querystring for the link of your list template. Use that hard coded into your code to create an instance of list with that ID. If you created your List Template in declaratively through a Feature, you can manually define the TemplateID in the XML.
Dec 3, 2010 at 18:29 comment added iOnline247 This is exactly how I envisioned it working. When I call the web service, I need to supply a TemplateID. How can I register that Template, so i can use that template during the web service call? Using Mike's link, I can create an Announcements list by supplying: 104 What number would I use for my custom Template?
