I am not sure how foolish I am being here!
I have a solution that packages up some master pages and layouts etc which I can deploy fine and the feature appears in the "Site Collection Features" list fine. However I would like to put a custom icon next to my feature. I would like the icon to be in the solution package and so require the image to be put in a list or folder when the solution is deployed (rather than a feature activated).
Is this possible? simple?
There is something about all this sharepoint solution/feature.xml/element.xml I don't grok yet!
It is possible and simple.
Feature.xml sample:
<Feature
Id="21F724AE-9C1C-4F4D-AAE9-7789CA01A7E3"
Title="ACME Lists"
Description="List definitions for the ACME"
Version="1.0.0.0"
Hidden="false"
Scope="Web"
ImageUrl="ACMEImages\acmelogo.png"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<!-- other feature file info omitted -->
DDF file sample:
.Set DestinationDir=IMAGES\AcmeImagesRootFiles\TEMPLATE\IMAGES\ACMEIMages\acmelogo.png
