UPDATED RELEASE: MOSS Feature Generator 0.7 (apr 14, 2008)

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 11:50:58 GMT

! Version Description

!! Introduction
This tool provides functionality to create MOSS Features by drag and drop. It presents the functionality like Site Columns, Lists and Content Types from the Sharepoint 2007 site you select in a treeview, which you can than add to your Virtual Site. A Virtual Site is made up of all the Features you generate. Press the create button, and all features will be created and validated against wss.xds. The following feature types are supported in this version:
* Site Columns (Feature.xml, Elements.xml)
* Content Types (Feature.xml, Elements.xml)
* List Templates (Feature.xml, Elements.xml, Schema.xml, AllItems.aspx, DispForm.aspx, NewForm.aspx, EditForm.aspx)

!! Whats new
* Features can be selected by drag & drop
* Site Column Features can be generated 'on their own' independant of the Content Type in which they are used
* More properties for the features can be set from the MFG Gui
* Feature properties are separated from properties that will be in the functional files (elements.xml, schema.xml and forms/views)
* Features can be created by either selecting a functionality directly, generating with default settings from the Virtual Site, or with edited properties from the Virtual Site.
* Created Features are validated against wss.xsd (except for the schema.xml)

!! Technical changes
* Site Columns and Content Types are now by default generated from the object model, instead of peaking into the database. The old is still available.
* XML files are not directly created from the Gui, but a Virtual Site is build First. This consists of VirtualField, VirtualContentType etc. objects.

!! Test Results
Allthough the MFG has not been formally tested, a number of testresults have been presented in the files below.

!! Usage Guidelines
* Create as much of the feature in the MOSS Gui as you can
* Do not create hundreds of features in one time, instead create features in manageable blocks

!! System Requirements
* MOSS 2007
* .Net Framework 2.0

!! Documentation and Help

This release will expand the idea of generation MOSS features from the gui, by allowing you to relate Features to each other. Sources of Features could be functionality created in the MOSS gui, or Feature files created earlier. In this way you can create a consistent set of features.
