Problem deploying list template (stp-file) by feature

Question

I have a List template (a stp-file). If I upload it to the list gallery through the UI, it is uploaded and I can create lists based on that template file in the same site.

However, if I bundle it in a module in my project, and try to upload it, the file is added to the gallery, but I can't create lists with the definition! Not through UI, and not programmatically.

I use this method to upload the file to the list template gallery.

My Elements.xml is as follows:

<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
    <Module Url="_catalogs/lt" Name="ListTemplates" Path="ListTemplates">
        <File Url="MyList.stp" Path="MyList.stp" Type="GhostableInLibrary" IgnoreIfAlreadyExists="TRUE">
            <Property Name="Title" Value="MyList" />
            <Property Name="Language" Value="1033" />
            <Property Name="FeatureID" Value="{3A71B642-D88C-48A4-BEB7-FC8DD4EFF9FE}" />
        </File>
    </Module>
</Elements>

Update: I want to add that I created a new list template based on a new custom list, and tried to deploy it the same way, but it didn't work either. So it's not the template file that's corrupt, it's something with the method

Answer 1

Please view this Add a module named as stp (Or whatever you want). The module should look like as follows:

<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
  <Module Name="stp" Url="_catalogs/lt" Path="">
    <File Path="stp\DesignLibrary.stp" Url="DesignLibrary.stp" Type="GhostableInLibrary" IgnoreIfAlreadyExists ="TRUE" >
      <Property Name="Title" Value="DesignLibrary" />
      <Property Name="Language" Value="1033" />
      <Property Name="Version" Value="4" />
    </File>
</Module>

In my view no need to use because List template itself set feature id. If you add the above property, It will add your stp in List template but you will not be able to use as template while creating list/library using this template. It will not be available in creation webpart. Link

Try like this. Have a look at this for more details.

<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
    <Module Url="_catalogs/lt" Name="ListTemplates">
        <File Url="MyList.stp" Type="GhostableInLibrary" IgnoreIfAlreadyExists="TRUE">
            <Property Name="Title" Value="MyList" />
            <Property Name="Language" Value="1033" />
            <Property Name="FeatureID" Value="{3A71B642-D88C-48A4-BEB7-FC8DD4EFF9FE}" />
        </File>
    </Module> 
</Elements>

Answer 3

Have your tried adding the name of the module in front of your Path attribute in the File tag?

Like so:

<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
    <Module Url="_catalogs/lt" Name="ListTemplates" Path="ListTemplates">
        <File Url="MyList.stp" Path="ListTemplates\MyList.stp" Type="GhostableInLibrary" IgnoreIfAlreadyExists="TRUE">
            <Property Name="Title" Value="MyList" />
            <Property Name="Language" Value="1033" />
            <Property Name="FeatureID" Value="{3A71B642-D88C-48A4-BEB7-FC8DD4EFF9FE}" />
        </File>
</Module>
